Chapter 62: Iowa Energy (Part II)

Until the end of the half, the defenders were still trailing by nearly 20 points.

40-57, a gap of 17 points, made the defenders feel solemn up and down.

Tang Qian's personal performance was good, with 9 points, 9 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 2 assists, and the data was quite comprehensive. But this didn't make him happy, because Tang Qian didn't like to fall behind, and he hated losing even more.

"Damn, that Curtis. History. Ting Sheng is so hateful! "Manny. Harris has become the biggest victim of the defenders, and tonight, somehow, he is always with Curtis. History. Tingsheng formed a counterpoint, so the ball came down at half-time, and the latter scored at least a dozen points on his head. Again and again was stealed, again and again was broken through, and again and again by Yan. Shoot, this feeling, no one can be better than put on it.

"Manny, don't be angry, he was the MVP of the last season, he has a strong offensive ability, no wonder you." Seeing that it was the person he was supposed to defend, Andre. Ingram said with some embarrassment.

"Can I not get angry? You try it??? "Manny. Harris replied angrily.

After some grumbling, the head coach of the Defenders, Phil. Hubbard opened the door, and he walked in slowly, "Young men, don't be too impatient, although we are still lagging behind for the time being, we are not without advantages. ”

"What advantages? It's almost 20 points behind, what advantage can it have? "Manny. Harris Road.

Phil. Hubbard wasn't angry, he just pushed his glasses and said, "Of course it's an inside advantage." ”

"Inside advantage?"

"That's right." Phil. Hubbard took out a record sheet, then pointed to the record sheet and said, "This is the record sheet that the assistant coach just gave me, and it has a rough count of the first half matchups. It can be seen that although Iowa Energy has high scores, most of them are concentrated in the middle distance and three-point line, and the number of breakthroughs is only a handful. ”

"What does that mean?" Manny. Harris asked.

"This means that the Iowa energy is afraid of our inner line." Phil. Hubbard Road.

"Fear? why? ”

Phil. Hubbard smiled, took out another stat table, and said: "If you look at the offensive weight chart of Iowa Energy this season, it is obvious that they are breaking through and shooting 5-5, so although they scored a lot today, they are not the best offensive way for themselves." In this way, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

"That's what it looks like, huh? So Mr. Hubbard, how do we turn defeat into victory? "Manny. Harris asked, as if he didn't understand.

"First point." Phil. Hubbard looked at Manny. "It's about you going to be less sticky and more efficient and quicker," Harris said. ”

"Oh, good, good." Manny. When Harris heard this, he blushed and whispered.

"The second point, as I just said, is to use our tall inside advantage to score points with Travis."

Phil. After Hubbard finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Tang Qian and said, "How is it, hot, are you confident?" ”

“No.problem。” Tang Qian didn't think about it, so he nodded and agreed.

……

Halftime passed quickly, and the second half was opened by Iowa Energy, who lost a scrum.

"What? Little Manny, haven't you been scared by me? "Curtis. History. Tingsheng looked at Manny in front of him. Harris scoffed.

"Shut up!" Manny. Harris replied angrily.

"Haha, shut me up? You don't have the qualifications yet! "Curtis. History. Ting Sheng suddenly made a move and broke through Manny. Harris immediately made a pull-up jumper and the basketball went into the basket.

At 40-59, the scores of the two teams increased again.

“You.suck!” Curtis. History. After Tinson scored, he rushed at the defender Manny. Harris said defiantly.

"Damn it, Shi. Tingsheng, I want you to look good......" Manny. Harris shouted in anger again.

"Manny, calm down, and don't forget Mr. Hubbard's instructions!" See Manny. Harris is going to be hot-headed again, and his nearest Karim. Rush immediately dissuaded.

"But Karim, that shit......"

"All.right, All.right, I know, but the only way to wash away the shame is to win, isn't it?"

"Um~OK, I see, I'll play according to Mr. Hubbard's arrangement."

"Don't worry, we'll all work hard and try to make you brush up on two more assists!" Karim. Rush Road.

On the defender's side, it's still Manny. Harris dribbled forward, but unlike the impulsiveness of the first half, he dribbled with a very patient pace this time. After all the players were in position, Manny. Harris observed the changes on the court, and a high hanging pass sent the basketball to Tang Qian's hands.

"Oriental, don't you want to score again!" As soon as he saw Tang Qian get the ball, Iowa Energy's center Patrick. Christopher immediately clung to him.

Tang Qian glanced at the German center, didn't say anything, turned his footsteps, and made a frontal singles posture.

The picture froze for about a second, just as Patrick. Christopher relaxed slightly, and Tang Qian's lightning activated. When it comes to foot movement speed, this Christopher and Tang Qian are not of the same order of magnitude at all. Tang Qian only dribbled the ball, and Christopher's figure was left behind him, but the German was not an amateur, as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately moved his body and rushed out after Tang Qian.

"Andrew, help with the defense!" Christopher was not stupid, knowing that he was likely to be out of reach, he suddenly called out to another inside lineman of Iowa energy, Andrew. Harrison came to help.

Andrew. Harrison didn't hesitate, and as soon as he stepped on his footsteps, he blocked in the direction of Tang Qian's advance.

Want to hit people with the ball? Tang Qian looked at Andrew. Harrison's movements, the corners of his mouth curled, as if there was no one in his eyes, and swept straight towards the inner line of Iowa's energy.

This Oriental guy, what does he want to do?

Are you going to put it on my head?

When pigs fly!!!

I'm not going to let you succeed!!

Andrew. Harrison stood still, his hands on his hips, and then waited for Tang to ram into the ground.

It's a pity that Tang Qian didn't plan to go this ball himself. After Harrison was attracted over, a back-push of the left hand, Andrew . Harrison could only watch as the basketball brushed him by.

Oops!

Andrew. Harrison wanted to react, but how could a human react be faster than a pass? Travis. received Tang Qian's wonderful pass, rose directly from the ground, and ended the attack with a two-handed slam dunk.

At 42-59, the Defenders also fired the first shot of the second half.

"Patrick, don't stick too tightly when you defend this Oriental, his steps are fast, and if you don't pay attention, you will be cleaned." Curtis. History. Tingsheng said to the center of Iowa Energy.

"I know, this kid's speed is indeed extraordinary." Patrick. Christopher nodded.

In the following time, the two teams entered the offensive phase, and the main scorer of Iowa Energy was Curtis. History. Tingsheng, the main scoring point of the defenders is the inside twin towers, Tang Qian and Travis. . With just four minutes left in the third quarter, Iowa Energy realized something was wrong. Instead of having much of an advantage, the difference between the two teams is getting smaller and smaller. History. Ting Sheng looked up, and at some point, the score difference between the two sides was only 6 points. This situation makes Curtis. History. Tingsheng took the initiative to ask for a timeout.

"Guys, we can't fight like this anymore!" Curtis. History. Ting Sheng said, "This is a trap for the defenders. ”

"Trap?" The Iowa Energy team members wondered.

"Didn't you notice? It's the same attack, but the difference between the two teams is getting smaller and smaller, why is that? ”

"Why?"

"Because our offensive success rate is not as good as that of the other side." Curtis. History. Ting Sheng looked at Tang Qian's back and said.

Compared with the outside offense and the interior offense, it is indeed too much of a loss, to paraphrase the ** Tiantuan former NBA player Kenny. Smith's words, when the interior players attack, they don't rely on the touch, because the basket is too close to them.

Kenny. Smith's words are the result of the current confrontation between the defenders and the Iowa energy.

One relies on the inside to score, the other relies on the outside to shoot, which is strong and which is weak, at a glance.

Curtis. History. Tingsheng's reaction was not slow, so he was the first to discover the problem.

"What then?" After listening to Curtis. History. Tingsheng's explanation, the Iowa Energy General asked.

"The success rate of the attack must be improved!" Curtis. History. Tingsheng replied.

"Patrick, Andrew, can you play a few more balls?"

"Me? We? "Patrick. Christopher and Andrew. Harrison glanced at each other, shook his head and said, "Very, I'm sorry, I'm afraid we're ...... alone."

"Forget it, the offensive and defensive strength of the defender's interior line is indeed better than the two of you."

Curtis. History. Tingsheng also understands Patrick. Christopher and Andrew. Harrison's difficulties, don't talk nonsense first, just Tang Qian and Travis. 's height makes Iowa Energy feel oppressed. The interior line of two seven-foot-long men is not something Christopher and Harrison can win. Even if he frequently succeeds on the outside, he can't help but be on the verge of collapse on the inside of Iowa's energy.

Damn, when did the Defenders get so strong on the inside???

"yes, yes, Curtis, isn't your breakthrough technique very good? We'll cover for you later, why don't you just go and attack the defender's inner line? "Iowa Energy's starter SG Michael. Harry suggested.

"Yes, yes, Curtis, with your breakthrough ability, the defender's outside line shouldn't be able to defend it, right? I think Michael's proposal is okay. ”

"yes, Curtis, just give them a little color! Let them know how powerful our Iowa energy is! ”

Michael. As soon as Harry finished speaking, the members of the Iowa Energy team immediately agreed and said, but Curtis. History. Ting Sheng's face changed slightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
