Chapter 101: Defeat without suspense

In the locker room, Dunleavy kept cheering up the players, telling them that as long as they work hard and believe in themselves, they will win. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But the players are nothing, and if they can win the first half, then Lady Luck must be on the side of the Clippers without clothes.

Qin Zheng can clearly know from Dunleavy's lack of tactics in the locker room that Dunleavy has no hope of winning this game, and the Clippers' most combat-effective twin tower tactics can't win, so what other tactics can make the Clippers win?

Anyway, Qin Zheng couldn't think of it, but Qin Zheng didn't refute Dunleavy, he also knew Dunleavy's hardships, and he couldn't tell everyone in the locker room, let's stop playing, we're going to play in the second half, that's something that can't happen, if Dunleavy does it and spreads it, then who will come to him as the head coach in the future?

Isn't it the responsibility of a manager to lead the team to win games constantly? You admit defeat at the first time and surrender first, who will follow you?

Qin Zheng couldn't help but think of the sentence: "The ministers all want to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?" "Dunleavy had to do it.

However, no one listened to him, and Dunleavy also saw everyone's performance, but he still had to arrange tactics for everyone, but to put it mildly, it was to strengthen the defense, and if he was not sure about the offense, he would pass the ball to Qin Zheng.

As for the rest, forget it.

After the start of the second half of the game, Qin Zheng planned to take the players to go crazy, while the main strength of the team was still there, as long as they had a good impact, there was still hope of catching up with the score.

But Qin Zheng forgot, he forgot that the Spurs are the most resilient team.

As evidenced by the Spurs' rare comebacks in the fourth quarter, it's a consistent and terrible team, unless the Clippers also have a Maddy miracle today.

But if miracles happen every day, are they still miracles?

In the third quarter of the game, Qin Zheng strengthened his offense, and he found that the other players on the team did not feel very good, so the team's shooting rate became more than 40%, which was a big step worse than his own shooting rate.

Qin Zheng's mood is also understandable, whether it is his idol Iverson, Kobe, or Olajuwon back then.

Even Da Meng once said that my shooting percentage is higher than that of my teammates, why don't I pass the ball to him and not shoot it myself?

But the athletes are not gods, and their physical strength can't support them to play a full 48 minutes of high-intensity games, and Qin Zheng is no exception.

What's more, the basketball is all shot by you, and the other players don't have a chance to shoot, so who would want to? There is no data without a shot, and there is no contract without data.

In the end, a player who shoots crazy can only lose to a CBA player next to him and become the scoring champion, but it is impossible to win the championship.

However, even if Qin Zheng strengthened his offense, he still couldn't catch up with the score, because he finally threw one, and the Spurs over there would also throw it.

You can't be in charge of the basketball for the whole quarter and pass the ball to other players who are in good positions, but often the ball becomes a rebound.

Qin Zheng forgot that if he didn't shoot for a long time, his hand would feel cold, and when his hand felt cold, he would keep hitting iron, and constantly hitting iron could make his hand feel warm.

But where will Qin Zheng give them 20 irons, I believe they can also throw it in the 21st ball.

As long as they hit the iron twice, Qin Zheng will pass the ball to other players, or attack himself.

Maybe Qin Zheng will find this off the court, but on the court, Qin Zheng's eyes have been covered by the basket, and he can't think of this anymore.

So he can only keep increasing the number of shots he makes.

In the entire third quarter, the Clippers shot 21 times, while Qin Zheng shot 12 times alone, but only hit 6 shots, plus two free throws to score 4 points, Qin Zheng scored 16 points in the third quarter.

Qin Zheng scored 36 points and 18 rebounds in the past three quarters, but the Clippers continued to fall behind the game, but the better thing is that the Clippers have gone from falling behind by 15 points to falling behind by 9 points.

But Qin Zheng was not happy at all, because he played a full basket for 12 minutes in the third quarter, while the main players of the opposite Spurs only played 8 minutes and went off.

In other words, Qin Zheng bullied other people's bench players to catch up with 6 points, but as long as the main players of the Spurs play in the fourth quarter, how much physical strength can the main players on his side of the Clippers have?

If the bench is replaced, the Clippers are expected to collapse faster.

Sitting on the chair, Qin Zheng gasped for breath and took a few deep breaths, Qin Zheng drank a can of Gatorade to temporarily make up for his physical strength.

Dunleavy was still talking to the players, Qin Zheng could know from his tone that in the fourth quarter of the game, it is estimated that the main forces will go to the first three minutes, if they really can't catch up with the score, then replace the substitutes, if the score difference is still about 10 points in the last five minutes, then replace the main forces on the court for the last time, if it exceeds 15 points, then admit defeat.

It can't be said that Dunleavy's arrangement is wrong, it can only be said that the strength of the Clippers is still very lacking.

In addition to the poor strength of the team's players, the main thing is that the bench is not good, buy a few bench bandits, and the second is that there is no tacit understanding between the teams at all, and many of Qin Zheng's passes have become mistakes, and Qin Zheng's mistakes are basically like this.

And if you want to increase the tacit understanding between the players, you have to not only play together, but when you think that you will have to change a group of new players next season, Qin Zheng's brain is bigger, and he will have to run in again when the time comes.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Spurs did not arrange the main players to play, but all the substitute players.

There is a term for rotation on the basketball court, and it started with Popovich, which has never happened before.

But if you want to rotate, then the strength of the team has to be super strong, generally the third quarter of the game has to win, so that the fourth quarter can let the main players rest, and the players in the team must be that style of selfless, don't care about any data, so that it works, if they are all replaced like volutes, it is impossible to rotate.

But Qin Zheng led the main team to play with the Spurs' substitutes, but they didn't succeed in narrowing and shrinking the chasing points, and they were always around seven or eight points. The explosive scoring ability is a big part of what keeps the Spurs up the score.

When there were only eight minutes to go, Dunleavy replaced the main forces, this is not a surrender, but a break, no rest, until now, Qin Zhengdu has been playing for 36 minutes.

But with the bench players, the Clippers have become a mess of scattered sand, the offense is not good, there is no order, it is basically a chaotic battle, but the five volute chaos battles may be able to punch the master to death, but the five scum of the Clippers can only make the Spurs play easier.

Dunleavy, who had wanted to bring his main players on the pitch in the final four or five minutes, had already extinguished that thought.

By the fifth minute, the Spurs had a 17-point lead.

In the end, the Spurs won the game with a 21-point lead of 124-103, and the Spurs won without suspense.
