Chapter 371: Four Throws
In the same way as Messina's analysis, Leonard did a good job of limiting Harden's explosiveness.
Whether it's football or basketball, the biggest variable on the court is the individual performance of the superstar, which is completely outside the tactical system.
So it just needs to strangle this point and suppress the possibility of his personal outburst to a minimum.
This is also the biggest confidence that Vicky dares to continue to press a bunch of main forces on the bench.
After a few more minutes, the Rockets did not tie the score for a long time, and they were already a little slack in momentum.
This change can be captured in the expressions of the players and the details of their movements.
Seeing this scene, ** Vicky knew that it was time to make substitutions.
Looking at the table below, there are 7 minutes and 58 seconds left in the fourth quarter.
The timing is just right, too.
The Spurs led by six points at 106-100.
At this time, the substitution went up, just in time to harvest the game.
On the bench, he explained his arrangement to the players.
"Deng Hongfei, you go to the second position, Harden, you are very stable in receiving the ball today, continue to use the previous strategy to play Harden."
"On the defensive end, you should also pay attention to proportion, you can refer to Leonard's defensive method just now, don't let him shoot comfortably."
Speaking of which, Duncan added next to him, "Pay attention to the referee's position when defending, sometimes you can disrupt his defensive rhythm with a little action." β
"For example, when he changes direction, inadvertently throw his elbow to slow down his momentum, similar methods, I have taught you a lot, you still have a lot of foul space now, and you would rather pay for free throws than let him easily get space to shoot."
"I understand."
Deng Hongfei listened carefully to the advice of the coach and the old stone Buddha and kept it firmly in his heart.
"Toney, you dominate the ball at the No. 1 position, use frequent impact, to attract the attention of the Rockets' defense, especially to attract their interior and Harden's attention, you can put the strong side on Harden's side."
"Deng Hongfei."
** Vicky took the tactical board and nodded to the three-point zero angle, "Your position still belongs here." β
"Just like you did before, remember?"
In this regard, Deng Hongfei raised his own questions, "I have beaten Harden like this twice before, won't he learn a lesson?" β
"Of course, people will learn lessons, but there is another sentence, the nature of the country is easy to change, a dog will not be taboo just because it eats a piece of stinky, you remember."
After Vicky finished speaking, Messina next to him reminded: "Greg, timeout is running out. β
"Okay."
Nodding slightly, ** quickly explained the rest, "No. 3 position, Danny, you first replace Kehuai for a few minutes, let him recover his strength, pay attention to defending Ariza's off-ball running, just do this well." β
"No problem, Coach."
Danny Green makes an OK gesture.
"Four, Burreth, your mission is still given to you by Jones, Tim, and Dwight."
"Okay, keep the current advantage, they are already starting to get discouraged, let's go all out and open up the difference!"
The old man handed the tactics board to Udoka, stretched out his hand and took the lead in calling for the slogan, "E are inner!" β
βe are innerοΌβ
The generals roared in unison.
All the overlapping hands suddenly scattered and opened, and a majestic momentum rushed away.
After playing.
Deng Hongfei strictly implemented the tactical instructions of ** Vic, just quietly stayed in the bottom corner and shook his limbs casually and lazily.
It looks a little listless.
VIP room in the stands.
Holt sat up slightly straight, his eyes locked on Deng Hongfei, and waited for a long time for the latter to return to the court.
But after returning to the game, he did not show any strong fighting spirit and **.
Neither the ball nor the movement is active.
Buford also said beside him: "You see, he inevitably has this kind of wandering moment. β
"Distracted?"
Holt repeated his words, thoughtful, "Are you sure he's wandering and not that Greg is deliberately arranging this?" β
"Could it be that Mr. Greg arranged it on purpose?"
"You've worked with him for so long, don't you know his style?"
Holt gave Buford a somewhat strange look.
"I think it's just that this little guy's acting skills are relatively good."
"Acting?"
Buford blinked.
He quickly understood the meaning of Holt's words, and also understood the intention of ** Vic's arrangement.
On the court below, Deng Hongfei went on the court and was invisible on the offensive end for several rounds without much performance.
Not only did he not shoot or receive the ball, but what made people even more anxious was that he didn't even move.
Although he has performed similar performances before, with two accurate three-point catches, everyone has forgotten about his laziness.
Just when the fans were a little anxious, Deng Hongfei came to an exchange of eyes when he was face to face with Duncan, who asked for the ball in the low post, on the court.
Harden's defense has begun to get used to being loose.
Parker had just used the shifting pick-and-roll with Burrece Dior to create several beautiful pick-and-roll combinations.
Unconsciously attracted more of his attention.
That's how one gets used to defending.
It was this defensive habit that made Harden once again miss the wariness of Deng Hongfei, who was lazy and wandering, suddenly speeding up, as if he suddenly stepped on the accelerator of a stationary supercar.
The speed was very fast, and in an instant, he completely left Harden behind.
Duncan gave him a flawless cover, and Parker saw it clearly, and when the dribble changed direction, he threw a backhand scalpel that hit the ground with a very fast ball!
It bounced into Deng Hongfei's hand with great precision.
The latter burst out with the ball, faced the empty basket, and smashed the backhand into the basket!
After landing, Deng Hongfei vented and roared at Howard, who came back to pick up the ball.
Then accelerate back to the half.
The fans are depressed, how can he not be depressed?
As a super scorer with an offensive power, it is also extremely painful for him to force his own requirements.
"Not bad."
Vicky nodded slowly.
In this way, Deng Hongfei's strong impact and aggressive attack seem to be limited.
However, there has been no reduction in offensive efficiency.
**The one in his hand is holding a pen, and he has been writing and drawing since Deng Hongfei came on the field.
Now calculate it.
Deng Hongfei's efficiency in unit time on the offensive end did not decrease.
On the contrary, it has improved.
Although it has something to do with his shooting percentage, it is normal for this kind of player who is good at playing without the ball to have a high shooting percentage.
Just thinking about it, the strong attack on the Rocket's side was Duncan's hat!
Parker quickly launched a fast attack, giving Deng Hongfei to the frontcourt, and Ariza quickly retreated into place.
He faced Deng Hongfei and kept a certain distance.
But the latter stepped on the three-point line a little outside the three-point line and got up and shot directly!
Bang!
Hand up and knife down!
Four shots in a row!
