Chapter 223: The Player Who Gave the Spurs a Headache...... (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, 3/3)
"Isn't it amazing?" Zhou Yang said to him with a smile after coming back like stepping on cotton at this time.
"I actually scored in a few minutes......" Famar, who was sitting directly next to Zhou Yang, didn't know whether to be happy or sad after saying this......
"There is something more magical~ as long as it is ......" The appearance of stopping and smiling attracted the attention of his teammates. What is Zhou Yang talking about here?
"Zhou Yang, I will save money again......" For a first-year student like Famar, he only signed a one-year contract. With an annual salary of only a few hundred thousand dollars, he feels pain in his flesh when he goes to class right now......
It's not like Mime, who gets more than 4 times his salary...... He also did the math...... $50,000 a week for memes. On average, one class a day is more than 7,000 dollars.
And he also mentioned this matter to Zhou Yang again. Meme's class is more than $7,000, and his is $10,000...... But no matter what, he couldn't resist Zhou Yang...... It was also said that it was earned...... Did Zhou Yang's math teacher really not come over to ask him for an explanation?
According to Zhou Yang, his current ability to pay, it would be good to be able to attend classes once a week. And it only costs $10,000 a week. It's a lot less than memes...... It's really irrefutable......
And in the lively game, Famar doesn't care much about that now. He even wanted to take another class right away! Looking at Mime, he was a little greedy. It's a week for them to go to class!
However, at this time, Mime is in the "holiday" stage. Zhou Yang discovered that this job was not very easy after he became a teacher for the first time. Outside of intense games and daily training, Yang also had to find time to prepare for Mime's lessons......
After two weeks of this, Zhou Yang felt that he was not gaining muscle, but was about to lose weight...... Classes are held for the first two weeks of the month and the last two weeks off! This is the principle pursued by Zhou Yang now! If there are new students, we will talk about it next month!
The Zen master didn't immediately talk to the players about tactics when he saw the end of the first quarter. But after thinking about it again, the difference from before the game is because the Spurs have already prepared, and Jackson has to think about how to deal with them a few times in advance!
In other words, many of the previous drills will be invalidated! When he was about to call the players, he didn't understand what Zhou Yang and Famar were talking about.
"Well, time is running out. Let me say a few words. Famal! Don't talk, you continue to play for a while, and Zhou Yang will warm up at the beginning of the second quarter of the game. The other players came ......."
Zhou Yang, a second-year student, would not pay much attention to it if he was placed in some ordinary teams. The Lakers have a lot of players to shine on right now. But if teams like the Heat, Spurs, and Rockets are different!
A player can always put in good numbers. You can not be taken seriously by other teams in your first season. But can it still be the case in the second season? In recent years, the emergence of Anthony, LeBron, Wade, and Howard has also made the media pay attention to young players and newcomers who have just entered the NBA league!
It's hard to say which players will become the new team leaders in the future? Now Paul and Anthony are already the absolute core of the team by default!
"Bryant should pay attention to passing the ball to Mime and Brown more. You have to get some points yourself. Wharton's words should also be more offensive...... "If you do that in the team, the players can still accept it. But the Spurs may not be able to adapt to the Lakers' current rhythm so quickly.
Popovich was a little puzzled to see that Zhou Yang of the Lakers did not show up after just talking to the players. In fact, at this time, Lakers fans are also waiting for Zhou Yang to play!
Zhou Yang was not in a hurry, sitting on the bench and chatting with O'Neill. The Zen master also glanced at Zhou Yang on the bench. This kid is quite calm!
The game came back again, and Kobe Bryant saw that the opponent's Duncan had returned! The old man knows that the Lakers seem to be in chaos right now. Or maybe the other coach's coach is deliberately creating chaos! Because it can disrupt the rhythm of the whole game. In the process, the strength of the Spurs has also been weakened a little!
There's only one on San Antonio's side! That's to end today's game as soon as possible!! Famar was still a little uncomfortable when he came on the pitch. In fact, the same is true for the Spurs now.
More of the other side are in a wait-and-see state when dealing with Famar. At this time, the Spurs still had a vague impression of Famar. The stats say he played well in college. But since the start of the regular season, Famar doesn't seem to have played any outstanding statistics.
"You'd better cooperate with us, or you'll be out of the game!" Kobe Bryant said something to Famar angrily and ran over to catch the ball. He's not on good terms like his teammates.
And Kobe Bryant felt that Famar had a very good attitude towards him so far this season. There were so many turnovers, few assists, and just 2 points in the last quarter...... When Zhou Yang came to the Lakers, he made a lot of mistakes, but his scores, rebounds, and assist data were okay!
At that time, Kobe Bryant was still not sarcastic and excluded Zhou Yang!
"You're the boss of the team, I don't ...... fight with you," Famar thought silently and turned away......
"Don't sleepwalk there! I'm going to pass the ball now, which hand do you take to catch it?! Kobe Bryant suddenly yelled from behind!
"He's the boss of the team, he's Kobe Bryant......" Farmar began to take a deep breath at this point...... He suppressed his anger and immediately sped up his run, and Finley glanced at the panting creature before turning his attention back to Kobe.
Bryant glanced at Farmar and began to pay attention to Parker's defense. He didn't understand why the Zen master had let Famar come up. It's good to have 2 points and 2 assists in a game.
Wharton took the basketball without the slightest hesitation, and started directly, and suddenly stopped and jumped for 2 points without a few steps, and hollowed into the net! 28:26! Ginobili, who was defending him, was a little surprised, wasn't he the one who organized the game? Why did you suddenly start attacking?
Parker deliberately slowed down after taking the basketball, and almost came to the front court with an eight-second foul and passed to Bowen on the ground. Duncan then took the basketball and made a small hook at Meme's to score easily~ Without O'Neal's defense, the offense is simply not too easy~
The Spurs have a lot of pressure on the players on the floor right now. Popovich tasked them with stretching the margin to more than 15 points in the first half. The Spurs staff on the side estimated that hearing this was also unlikely.
This task is a bit more demanding. But Popovich thinks that he can't be so consumed with the Lakers anymore! Who knows what players they will use and what tactics they will play in the next games?
The Zen master's approach did affect the overall rhythm of the Spurs to a certain extent.
......
"Zhou Yang, how are you warming up?" The Zen master turned around and suddenly saw that Zhou Yang was still warming up there, and suddenly remembered something. The second quarter was almost over......
"I feel like it's almost cool," Zhou Yang sat on the ground and watched the game quietly, and only got up and walked over when he saw that Jackson seemed to have the intention of calling him.
"Okay, you can go back and rest."
"What?" Zhou Yang looked at Phil in surprise and thought in his heart.
"Warm up after the break and before the start of the third quarter. Ahem...... "The Zen master seemed to know what he was thinking from Zhou Yang's expression. So I wanted to relieve the embarrassment a little. Kobe Bryant started wrestling with the Spurs after a few rounds!
The first half ended with 60:52! Although the Lakers scored 28 points in a single quarter of the game! But compared to the Spurs, they still couldn't catch up with them, and the point difference became even farther.
I don't know why, Popovich feels that Zhou Yang of the Lakers is not very comfortable if he doesn't play. If Zhou Yang comes up in the second quarter, the Spurs can also play to this extent, then basically they will be relatively stable in winning this game.
Famal played the second quarter! In the first half, he got 5 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 2 turnovers! Finally, there are some statistics, although Famar has basically averaged less than 1 in a few games so far...... But it's better than that "0", right......
Wrong! Famar suddenly realized! So far in the regular season, the only number he has averaged more than 1 per game is turnovers......
"I guess you are also targeted by the Spurs in this game"
"Me too?" Mime had just been chatting with Zhou Yang in the corridor about today's game when Zhou Yang replied. Although Memes have also scored now in the account. But he felt that he didn't play well compared to the previous game, and he was hatted several times......
"I watched two quarters of the game...... I feel that the Spurs have a more in-depth analysis and response to many people on the Lakers tonight! "This is also something that Zhou Yang has been worried about!
If the other side analyzed several Lakers players, did they analyze him? It should have been analyzed! Take this season's preseason as an example, Zhou Yang has brought a very eye-catching problem to the Spurs......
One of the conundrum ahead of the Spurs now is, what does the opponent's third-quarter lineup look like?
The old man had been chatting with the coaching staff since he left the court, and he didn't leave until it was time to play the third quarter. If Popovich looks at the West this season, he thinks that the three teams of the Mavericks, Rockets and Lakers are worthy of their Spurs seriously!
The Rockets' Yao Ming and Maddy are difficult to deal with, and they also welcomed former Grizzlies star Battier this season! And the Mavericks' current momentum feels that they will be a very formidable enemy if they don't get it right this season!
"There are still a lot of players who can play and score that haven't come up. That's why I want you to not slack off in the third quarter! I don't ask for much in this section, as long as the score difference continues to stay at 8 points! ”
The Spurs players now feel like they're basically fine with winning this game. Just pay more attention to the third verse. In two quarters of the game, they scored 60 points! That's definitely a high score for this season!
And they feel that the other party is not expected to be in good shape in this section. Unless Kobe Bryant plays! Their Odom is still wearing a suit on the field. O'Neill didn't dare to let him go up to see their manager.
"The players on the outside are more protruding. Three-pointers, if you can, shoot more. If Turyaf feels that he can't defend against the opposing player, he can immediately ask Mime to go up and help. In short, this quarter must be held back by the opponent's offense, and they can't be allowed to score like this again......"
The Zen master also wanted to win this game at this time, but the opponent's attack today was indeed a little too fierce......
When the game came back in the third quarter, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became warm! The lineup on the Spurs' side is Elson, Robert, Ginobili, Yudri and Parker! The Lakers are Mime, Turiaf, Zhou Yang, Evans, and Vujasic!
The opponent's O'Neal and Kobe Bryant didn't play! And the defenders on Smush, Fisher also sat on the sidelines and watched the game quietly! Are the Lakers going to give up early? Some fans can't help but think so.
At this time, Zhou Yang was indeed a little uncomfortable, and he felt that his hands and feet were a little cold in the first two quarters of the game. The state is not very good, and now Zhou Yang feels that he can only gradually get his state back on the field!
Mime was much happier when he saw Zhou Yang playing! He's getting mixed feelings about his teammates with the Lakers right now. It was supposed to be O'Neal, Odom, and Kobe Bryant who should have been excited when they came up.
Odom can't come up just yet. And now, after Zhou Yang comes on the field, he will be as excited as the main team of his team! Although it is rare, Mime also had the illusion that he thinks that Zhou Yang, Kobe, and Odom seem to be about the same in strength......
Maybe Odom hasn't seen him on the field for a long time. It made Mime feel like this. As long as he thinks about it, he will know that Zhou Yang actually has a gap with Kobe and Odom.
"Zhou Yang, this guy, if you go to help defend with Ginobili, don't believe too much in his every move," Parker said to Yudri very seriously.
With the ball to the frontcourt, how did the Spurs feel that Zhou Yang's speed was much slower. Ginobili immediately followed, but he didn't dare to make a rash move! Zhou Yang, a second-grader, he has been taught.
Yu Dry looked a little frozen, and he also planned to wrap Zhou Yang in the past! Two people prevent you from seeing how you Zhou Yang passed us! The Lakers players present were also stunned...... Zhou Yang, what are you going to do? It's almost 24 seconds!
Just after 20 seconds, Zhou Yang suddenly passed the ball to Evans! At this time, Evans should have Yudri with him. With no one to defend it, Evans hit a direct three-point shot!
"The warm-up is almost over~" Zhou Yang whispered and ran away......
"He's just in ...... Warm up? Ginobili was closest to him, and although he said it quietly, he heard it......
"It's hard to prevent!" Yudri just remembered that Parker told him to be careful of Zhou Yang! This kid took the ball and dribbled for 20 seconds, which is okay?!
"Who would have thought?" Popovich hugged his shoulders from the coaching staff at this point, and after speaking, the assistant coaches around him laughed...... The old man laughed angrily. Just now, whether it was the fans on the scene, the bench players on both sides, the coaches and the players on the field, they all watched Zhou Yang dribble there for 20 seconds before passing.
The Spurs players on the court didn't dare to go up and break his ball......
"One defense, one defense! One against one! Parker shouted to his teammates when he got the ball! Originally, the score difference was not big, but they were the ones who were passive for a few rounds!
After Ginobili took Parker's ball, he immediately saw Zhou Yang running over and passing the ball directly to Robert! The latter forced Turiaf and made it 2+1 after the opponent received a foul!
......
"The Lakers have a lot of players who look great. But they can't do much damage when they get there," Rashid said as he watched the livestream.
"Maybe that's just how you feel. Don't you usually watch other teams' games? The Lakers are the only team in the league that hasn't lost right now," Billups asked, looking at Rashid with some confusion.
"So what! What team hasn't won a season in a row? It's normal. The Lakers' winning streak looks like we're coming to an end! After Rashid finished speaking, the emotions of his teammates also came up!
Although the Pistons have only won 3 games so far...... But they won the Lakers in the Finals last season! They feel like they can beat the Lakers when they meet them in the regular season!
The other party is now more restrained by O'Neill. Odom heard that he was coming back for the next game, but how far can the players who have just returned be able to play? At present, the center in Los Angeles has more playing time, and it is the substitute center Mime!
So Rashid feels that although the Lakers have a luxurious lineup, they look vulnerable! The Pistons are strong both inside and outside! Maybe Kobe Bryant can score a lot of points, but the Pistons will win the game!
Big Ben is heading to the Chicago Bulls this season, but they have a veteran Webber with good experience and personal ability! So this season's Pistons are still more confident in defense.
The new season has had a big impact on them. But they were the champions last season! The team's morale has not been affected in any way by the lack of wins ahead.
......
It didn't take long for Popovich to get to the sidelines, and he didn't know how to deal with the current Lakers lineup. Zhou Yang shouted to his teammates, ready to catch the ball, and hit a three-point shot directly......
The Spurs players didn't know that Zhou Yang's sentence was true, and that sentence attracted their attention. When they started to retreat, this kid still had a certain amount of accuracy in shooting!
Bryant and O'Neal were watching their own teams attack on the court as if they were watching other teams play...... It's rare for two people to be together and be so happy. I don't know when the atmosphere began to become a little depressing as soon as the two of them sat together.
The Zen master was also a little speechless at this time. Zhou Yang made the already chaotic game even more chaotic......
Robert didn't believe that Zhou Yang could evade his defense, so he pounced directly on Mime and scored with both hands after getting the ball! Parker got the ball up front, and Popovich eventually asked for a timeout.
......
At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs players lost their halftime spirits...... 82:81! Vujasic's final three-pointer allowed the Lakers to finally overtake the Spurs!
Duncan didn't play after the timeout. Instead, he sat until the end of the third quarter.
"If Zhou Yang continues to play, don't defend his outside shots, and mainly do a good job of defending the inside! O'Neal is trying to get him to six fouls before the end of the game! Zhou Yang let him shoot, and the opponent's defenders couldn't let them attack at will if they had hot hands. To ensure offensive efficiency, we have to find opportunities to attack......"
Later in the last quarter, Zhou Yang's shooting accuracy dropped, so Popovich made this arrangement! He didn't believe that Zhou Yang could shoot and score so much!
'Fisher don't go in too much to catch the ball, you pass the ball on the outside or just come yourself. Zhou Yang continued to organize the team. O'Neal has to score more points under the basket......"
Back in the fourth quarter, the Spurs came on the court with Duncan, Elson, Bowen, Brent, and Parker! Parker still stays on the field and organizes the team! On the Lakers' side, they are O'Neal, Brown, Zhou Yang, Fisher and Kobe!
Mime had already gone off for a break at this point. Playing in the third quarter made his physical fitness drop rapidly!
At the beginning of the game, when Zhou Yang dribbled, he could clearly feel that the opponent was not very defensive against himself...... But even then he didn't dare to shoot rashly, and at this time he found that his accuracy was not as high as when he first went up in the third quarter.
Kobe Bryant took Zhou Yang's pass and forced it to rush in and scored a jumper! 84:81! The Lakers seem to be pulling the difference apart at this point!
Popovich was mentally prepared to lose the game at this point. If you really lose the game, is it all because of this guy named Zhou Yang? Not exactly, but this kid did play well!
Brent went to the front court after getting the serve, and after using Bowen's cover, he directly pulled out a three-point jump shot and went into the net! The score is tied by itself! When both sides are strong, as long as the regular season meets each other, the game will be extraordinarily exciting! Today's game is no exception!
Fisher missed a three-pointer after taking the basketball. O'Neal got the rebound and passed to Brown, who didn't have a shot! O'Neal got another rebound...... This time he scored directly by himself!!
Duncan's hook hand was picked up by Elson without a back rebound! Bowen didn't have much time to see it, and after receiving the ball, he went directly into the net with three points! Then Zhou Yang went to the frontcourt, and Kobe Bryant got his ball and went to the basket quickly! But the speed is a little faster, and the basketball comes out again after a lap.
Duncan got the rebound and passed the ball to Brent, and Elson took Brent's pass and passed it straight to Parker! The Lakers, on their side, failed to keep up with the Spurs on several occasions. Parker jumps a three-pointer and hits the basket!
"These guys are looking at how much strength I have...... Parker, who was already a little tired, finally fell to him...... But fortunately, these three points were shot.
"Run faster!" Zhou Yang said to his teammates at this time. O'Neill took Zhou Yang's ball and dunked it directly...... Fortunately, Fisher appeared in time and made a direct jump shot with a long-distance 2-point hollow shot!
The game between the two sides has entered a stalemate again! The fans at the scene began to shout wildly! At this time, suspense is everywhere! Kobe Bryant was also excited! Look at Zhou Yang, he has no intention of attacking again!
Then the main offense in the back should be his Kobe and Fisher's! At this point, Brent got the basketball and let O'Neal get a foul directly after using Bowen's body to pass Fisher!
