Chapter 378: Leading the team to reverse
As soon as they saw Zhang Yi and others start to warm up, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, because they bought tickets to enter the stadium to watch the performances of these stars.
Although they waited for halftime, at least the Lakers didn't disappoint them. Regardless of the WACKER coach's motivation to put these key players on the pitch until the end of the first half, the sense of anticipation was even greater.
In addition, the on-site commentators are constantly talking about how strong Zhang Yi and others are, and if they play, they will enter a completely different situation. So as soon as I saw them take off their coats, the audience's spirits immediately came up.
is also because the main force of the Lakers is preparing to appear, so there are a lot fewer trolls in the live broadcast room. After all, the fans of Zhang Yi and others have been waiting for it, and many people have even set up special prompt sounds.
Regardless of whether the final result of the game can be turned over, but being able to see Zhang Yi and others playing, this is the voice of most Lakers fans.
Some people are happy and some are worried, and Keane, the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, thought he had won the game. But it is obvious that Zhang Yi and others, who played at the end of the second quarter, still have the strength to chase the score back.
Because even if the difference is 30 points, the Lakers' offensive rhythm is already fast, and you must know that their average points per game can even rank first in the league.
Generally speaking, the offensive efficiency of super teams is high, but because they also pay attention to the quality of defense, the average points per game will not be too high, but now it seems that this point is wrong for the Lakers.
When the Lakers' starting five are all on the floor, they can also rank among the top three in the league in defensive efficiency. This means that they have the strongest spear and the hardest shield.
After all, the Dallas Mavericks are a team that has lost six in a row, and if they really compete for strength, these two teams cannot be considered on the same level at all.
A little more than two quarters, 30 minutes? It's really hard to keep it up to the end. So for Keane, who is desperate to win the game, the only way to ensure that he wins the game may be to start playing negatively.
The first thing to do is to use up all their offensive rounds, which will affect the team's offensive efficiency, but slowing down the tempo and running out of game time is the best option for them to come.
Just before the Lakers officially made a substitution, Keane immediately called a timeout when he thought of this. Anyway, he just wants to win, and it doesn't matter if he's praised or scolded.
"The boss of the Lone Ranger will also think highly of himself because of such an unexpected victory." Keane said this in his heart as he laid out his tactics.
Although everyone doesn't know why the head coach would rather sacrifice tactics than believe in their offensive strength, there is no way, who let the opponent have already won a terrifying dozen consecutive victories, so why not win.
In the end, the game restarted, and Keane not only replaced the high school forward, but also brought out five balanced players with an average height of about 2.05m. And they're obviously going to defend it.
Wacker also scratched his head, because the opponent did not know what strange tactics he would use to keep the win. Losing by more than 30 points at half-time was a bit out of his mind.
On the one hand, it shows that he has played a little too much, and on the other hand, it also shows that the Lakers' bench strength is still a lot worse.
In addition, because of various rumors on the Internet, in fact, Wacker also knows that his actions may damage the popularity that the Lakers have managed to accumulate.
But if you don't take advantage of this precious opportunity to bring the team's new and old players closer together, you won't be successful as a manager.
After all, the Lakers' lineup will not change for a long time to come. If the team's chemistry isn't good, it doesn't make much sense for them to get this win or break their winning streak.
As the game resumed, the Lakers took the lead on offense. Although Zhang Yi had a strong desire to perform at the beginning, he was behind the Lakers by a large score, so the best way was to help the team's three-point opening up the situation.
Although he can see that the Dallas Mavericks changed this lineup to defend three-pointers, these people are not strong in one-on-one defense.
If they have a helping defense, it means that if Zhang Yi resolutely uses his singles advantage, he still has the opportunity to create a hand for the outside players.
Seeing Zhang Yi dribbling the ball straight to the Yellow Dragon, the Dallas Mavericks players still resolutely implemented the tactical requirements of head coach Keane at the beginning, not to assist in defense, because he knew very well that as long as there was an assist defense, Zhang Yi would definitely pass the ball.
But he said that it is actually very difficult for players to do it. In particular, Zhang Yi is not an honest attack at all, he is completely playing with his opponent with the fastest speed. Then make the defender angry, and then force the opponent to help.
In the first round, Zhang Yi attracted two defenders. Because the other is defending Wali on the inside, but I never expected that Wali on the inside line also withdrew from the baseline and shot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
It was also an unexpected goal, given that Vali has always been the playmaker and rim protector. Three-point technique, this is still his first show.
Keane was angry, partly because the players didn't execute his no-deft tactics. What's even more infuriating is that I didn't expect the Lakers' lineup to shoot even three points inside.
Not to mention the 30-point gap, if the opponent is like this, he will be able to catch up the contrast in the blink of an eye.
After the hit, the Dallas people were also a little frustrated. A change in mentality can also cause them to make mistakes, just like the Lakers did when they first started.
In addition, the strength of Zhang Yi and others is also strong. Keane didn't expect the Lakers to start fighting back on the spot right away. And it's not the kind of dangling a shot. Zhang Yi and Robert, two players known for their flexibility, are waiting for their opponents to make mistakes in the front court.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped forward to grab, one of the tall guards made a dribbling error, was directly cut off by Zhang Yi and then made an easy layup!
was counted by the Lakers for five points in a row, Keane looked helpless, and he looked at the time of the second quarter before calling a timeout. But if this continues, the victory in hand will really have to be handed away.
"Focus! Don't be careless! Keane yelled at the court, but he still had to say it. The Mavericks' players also want to be upset, but they really feel the difference in strength.
Although this attack successfully led through the half, it soon made another mistake in the process of passing. Hit a chase three-point by Robert, who has a strange speed!
God knows how their hit rate is so high, maybe it's really suffocating on the bench. Keane's tears are about to fall, because if it goes on like this, let alone win by 30 points, it is really possible to be reversed before the end of the game.
