Chapter 846: The First Battle After All-Star (4)
The difference was only 1 point, and the assistant coach of the Spurs on the sidelines smiled easily: "In terms of rotation lineup, the Lakers are still too bad." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Popovich nodded, glanced at Scott, and said, "At this point, Scott should call a timeout." ”
The assistant coach nodded repeatedly, and the difference was only one point, and if Scott didn't call a timeout, the Spurs would immediately be able to overtake the score and overwhelm the Lakers in one fell swoop, opening up the difference. In this case, it would be better for the Lakers to call a timeout and curb the Spurs' momentum first.
However, to the surprise of Popovich and the assistant coach, Scott did not call a timeout, but just shouted at the court: "Let go of the fight, we believe in you." ”
"What do you mean?" The Spurs assistant coach was stunned for a moment.
Popovich is also unsure, who is Scott yelling at, Nick Young, Williams, or Brandon Bass, or everyone? But what's the use of shouting like this, can just shout a few people can explode in the small universe, hehe......
On the court, hearing Scott's voice, Williams was shocked, his eyes became sharp, and he nodded at Scott.
The Lakers' possession of the ball, Williams advances with the ball.
After crossing the halfway line, he gestured to his teammates, Nick Young, Blanton Buss and others started running, Kelly lifted up to block the pick-and-roll, and Williams took the opportunity to dribble to the side, accelerated sharply, and pounced on the inside line to jump against the defender.
At this time, Nick Young, Blanton Buss and others all pulled to the outside, and the Spurs players also had to follow the outside, and only David West, who was left on the inside, saw Williams jump, he also jumped up, and fan-like big hands fanned over.
West's hand slapped on Williams' arm, making a crisp "pop", and the referee immediately blew the whistle.
Williams fell to the ground because he lost his balance, but he didn't give up, his eyes were still fixed on the basket, and he threw the ball out with all his might.
"Huh!"
With a soft sound, the nets rolled.
The goal actually went in, a beautiful three-pointer!
"Man, you're doing a great job." Nick Young stepped forward and pulled Williams up from the ground, Williams smiled, looked at the sidelines, and saw Scott, Chen Feng, and Kobe Bryant all looking at him, he clenched his fists and hammered it on his chest, as if to say, I did it!
"You did it." Scott smiled, the reason why he didn't call a timeout was to let Williams solve the problem himself, let him take on the responsibility of the core of the second team, and bravely stand up and score in such a situation that is not good for his own side, and stabilize the situation.
As it turned out, Williams didn't let him down, he stepped up and scored a crucial goal to stabilize the situation.
Kobe Bryant was also nodding, showing a happy smile, and said to Chen Feng: "Hehe, it seems that Williams has entered the role." ”
"That's a good thing." Chen Feng was also very happy.
In this way, the Lakers will become even stronger.
......
On the court, Williams walked to the free throw line, scored the ball steadily, then turned around and shouted at his teammates: "Guys, defend it!" ”
At this moment, he has an inexplicable momentum, this ball has made him enter the role of the core of the second team, and it also allows him to adapt to his current identity, and he has a sense of responsibility, and finally dares to lead his teammates as the core.
The Spurs players didn't feel anything about this change, but Coach Popovich frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Next, the Spurs attacked.
When the ball arrived in the front court, they suddenly found that the Lakers' defense had improved a lot compared to before, and the ball was passed several times, but they couldn't find a chance.
In desperation, David West could only force a single shot, facing Brandon Buss and throwing a shot backwards, but fortunately he felt good, the ball bounced off the basket, and finally fell in.
However, when he turned around, Williams quickly advanced to the front court and distributed the ball to Nick Young, who tried to get no chance and re-passed the ball to Williams.
Facing Mills' defense, Williams squinted, first took a cross-step, then pulled to the side, quickly stepped back, and made a three-point shot.
"So decisive?" Mills was a little surprised, and his movements were a beat slower.
The next moment, with a bang, the ball went in, and the hollow hit!
“38:33!”
This score made the faces of the Spurs players a little ugly, originally only one point away, and they also suppressed the Lakers steadily, but suddenly killed a Williams, cut 6 points in one go, and pulled away the score that was about to catch up, which made the Spurs players very unhappy.
"This guy is really hateful."
"Wait and defend a little better, don't give him another chance, and catch up with the score as soon as possible."
Several Spurs players exchanged glances, and until this point, they still didn't realize what was happening.
......
In the blink of an eye, a few minutes passed.
At this time, the second quarter was already halfway through, and the score became 45:40, and suddenly it was still 5 points ahead of the Spurs, and the difference was not caught up.
"Toot ......"
Popovich called a timeout.
At this time, he had to call a timeout, and the Spurs played not badly in the past few minutes, but the Lakers seemed to have been reborn, changing their previous decline and becoming extremely aggressive, fierce in defense and full of momentum in offense.
Especially Louis Williams, who is getting more and more into the state, even under the special care of the Spurs, still performs eye-catching, in a few minutes, he scored 8 points and contributed 2 assists, leading the Lakers to withstand the Spurs' offense and always maintain the lead.
This makes the Spurs players feel a little incredible, is this still the same Louis Williams, is this still the weak Lakers second team?
Looking at Louis Williams, who seemed to be celebrating with his teammates like a hero, Popovich's brows furrowed a little tighter, and he moved his eyes to Scott, wondering in his heart, could it be that Williams' outburst was not accidental?
Popovich didn't know that Louis Williams had become the sole core of the Lakers' second team, and Scott even gave Williams unlimited firing rights.
However, for Williams' outburst, Popovich was secretly vigilant in his heart, clapped his hands, called his players to his side, spread out the tactical board, and said: "Although I don't know why the Lakers' second team has changed so much, we have to make changes, we must lead the opponent in the second team matchup, which may be the key to whether we can win today." ”
