Drummond made a few pushes and found that he couldn't get close to the basket, and by this time the back time was almost five seconds.

It is a violation to carry your back for more than five seconds.

In desperation, he could only pass the ball. At this time, Reggie Jackson, seeing his embarrassment, came to answer. He passed the ball to Jackson.

At this time, the offensive time was no longer enough to organize another tactical attack, Reggie Jackson had to single Clarkson, and after a few changes of direction, he accelerated to the basket and forced Randle to throw a shot, but he couldn't hit.

Drummond wanted to make amends and grab the rebound. He's confident in his rebounding abilities.

But he found himself blocked again!

When he looked down, it turned out that it was Brandon Buss who was in front of him again. Bass stood up on the pile, and the lower plate was as steady as rooting, and Drummond squeezed him desperately, and the action was so big that he could blow the foul before squeezing through.

At this time, Drummond's opportunity to grab the rebound in the front court had long disappeared, and Randle grabbed the ball and protected the rebound in the backcourt.

The biggest contributor to the success of this rebounding protection is, of course, Buss, who is stuck in position.

Drummond was a little frustrated that he couldn't make up for it, and he took a deep look at Bass as he turned back to his defense.

Unexpectedly, there is such a number one person in the alliance.

What I didn't expect was the tens of thousands of fans at the scene.

replaced a blue-collar player, and actually prevented Drummond, who had been dominating the basket before?

Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy is a bit of an idea.

The disciples he taught, he himself knew best.

Drummond's physicality is undoubtedly the top of the interior players, power, bounce, and a rebounding machine alive! But the shortcomings are also obvious, the wrist is stiff, there is no feeling at all, and the hook hand under the basket has been practiced for several years but in vain, and the hit rate is not guaranteed at all.

Van Gundy knew that although his disciple was a tough guy King Kong, he guarded the giant under the basket. But when it comes to attacking, there is not much confidence at all. Therefore, despite his central position in the team, he rarely takes the initiative to ask for the ball and rarely plays singles.

The more you don't dare to attack, the more your skills will not be honed. Perhaps this has become a vicious circle that has seriously hindered Drummond's growth.

Van Gundy knew this very well, and had told Drummond many times. Drummond was also anxious and tried to change, but he just couldn't change.

No progress in sight!

At the beginning of tonight, Van Gundy let Drummond's trump card shine, and the result was a successful dismissal for the Lakers.

And Drummond scored 14 points in the first quarter, which not only made Drummond himself secretly happy, but also made Van Gundy, a master, shine in his eyes.

Isn't this kid enlightened tonight?

However, the good times were short-lived, and in the second quarter Drummond was revealed.

The Lakers are just a blue-collar interior who can defend top.

Drummond failed to attack once, and he was indignant in his heart, and continued to play singles next time, trying to save face. And this time, after he took a few big strokes, he resolutely turned around!

However, because he didn't go deep into the basket, he turned around and couldn't go to the basket. In the end, he took the plunge and showed the hook he had practiced countless times.

Drummond's hook hand, the ball that hooked out, always felt a little softer, a little stiff. Finally, he stumbled on the front of the basket and fell right into Buzz's arms.

Drummond, who did not believe in evil, singled Bath for the third time. This time he was much bolder, with a back-to-back shot, a back-to-back layup, and then a forward turn, completely tricking Buzz away.

However, when he was in an empty seat, his heart was inexplicably tight.

Because of this distance, it is not far or close, it is unrealistic to make a layup, and it will not be able to throw, only shooting.

But when he thought of shooting, he remembered the fear that the free-throw line brought him.

The shooter stiffly pulls the ball out—

The results can be imagined. And this time, I didn't even touch the basket.

Drummond's three consecutive singles defeats proved that Scott's line-up worked. The Pistons wasted three offensive opportunities as a result, and the Lakers took the opportunity to pull away the score.

At 44:36, the Lakers' lead came to eight points.

Stan Van Gundy asked for a timeout.

It was a timeout he called specifically for Drummond.

"Andrey!"

Van Gundy called Drummond aside, "Calm down! ”

Three times in a row, he was defended by an unknown blue-collar player, which embarrassed Drummond, who aspired to be a super center.

Of these three singles, the last one or two can even be counted as emotional balls. He is not good at attacking with the ball, and if he is still emotional, it is reasonable that the attack will not be fruitless.

"Andrey, this is a hurdle, a hurdle, you know? As long as you pass this level, your offensive skills will definitely improve greatly in the future! ”

Van Gundy knows his children well. Drummond's offensive skills have not been able to be practiced, although there are physical reasons, but the main one is psychological.

Just like one of the top super centers in history, Shaquille O'Neal, claims that his only weakness is free throws. Many people believe that this is the reason why his palms are too big.

But in fact, it's just that he's too lazy. He has spoken to the media many times about his lack of attention to training. So he shot just over 40 percent from the free-throw line in some seasons and 60 percent in others.

Maybe his oversized palm affected his free throws, but it wasn't insurmountable. If he doesn't train hard, his shooting percentage will naturally not go up, and the "shark hacking tactics" developed by other NBA teams to deal with him have invisibly made him think that his free throws are hopeless. In the end, he was also trapped in the psychological barriers created by others and himself, and he couldn't extricate himself.

The current Drummond is similar, as long as the psychological barrier is broken, it is really a worry-free future.

"Face it up and don't be afraid! Get over it, beat it! ”

Van Gundy stared straight into Drummond's eyes, "Look at me, Andre, tell me where your courage is?" ”

Drummond slapped his chest hard, "Endless courage, it's all here!" ”

"Boss, just wait for me to triumph!"

Drummond knew that these singles were indeed a bit reckless, but he didn't regret it. And in this game, as long as he has the opportunity, he will continue to play singles!

Although he didn't score any three goals, he found that his actions in training can also be done in the game! And it's getting easier and easier!

As long as you dare to use these technologies, then there will inevitably be a day when you will use these technologies perfectly!

Didn't you just not score?

No big deal!

If you don't score this goal, it's good to score the ball next time!! (To be continued.) )
