Chapter 91: Change of Strategy

Seeing Chen Shu being ravaged by Wei Shao on the field, sweating profusely, Gentry still decided to replace Chen Shu, take a rest, and calm down.

In the first half of the game, the Suns' outside line was greatly restricted, and the inside Morris and Gortat were also speechless by Ibaka and Perkins to ask the sky, there was no way, the difference in strength was huge.

Gentry called a timeout, and he didn't have a good way to change the status quo of the team.

Telfil replaces Chen Shu, and the others remain the same, this is already the strongest lineup of the Suns, and the difference will only get bigger and bigger when others are replaced.

The game continued on the field, Wei Shao looked at Chen Shu who was sitting on the bench with disdain, and smiled, this is the gap, Wei Shao, who has recovered his composure, is a few grades stronger than Chen Shu.

In fact, Chen Shu was indeed a little disappointed at this time, he didn't expect that his current strength and speed would be vulnerable in front of Wei Shao, and the proud 3-point shot was also at a loss under Wei Shao's close squeezing defense. This hit Chen Shu hard.

"Chen, don't be discouraged, this is your rookie season, the opponent is the favorite to compete for the championship, Russell may be the most impactful point guard in the league, and it is not wrong to lose to him, you still have a long way to go" Gentry began to comfort Chen Shu, he has always been very relieved and satisfied with this Asian American, the team's 4 consecutive wins, Chen Shu has contributed a lot, and it is normal to suddenly encounter a strong opponent and not adapt.

"Well, I understand, coach" Chen Shuqiang cheered up.

"Well, that's good, Chen, you take a break first, when you are on the court, you and Brown switch defenses, defending Russell is too physical, we need you on the offensive end, and don't be reckless and go head-to-head with Russell, this is not wise, look for more blocking, the effect will be good."

"Coach, now we are not as strong as our opponents on the outside, and we can't penetrate the defense of Perkins and Ibaka on the inside, we have to change this game"

"Oh, what do you think?"

"That's right, I don't think Ibaka and Perkins are shrunk on the inside and can't come out, are we going to switch to a space-type inside line, pull these two out, if they go out, we can hit the inside, if they don't go out, we shoot them on the outside."

"Well, good idea, I was thinking about how to configure the players before, you take a break, when we play, we play you, Brown, Morris, Hill, Fry" Gentry still has something to say, that is, the team's internal and external strength is very lacking, and Reed used to be an All-Star, but now it basically has no effect, and since this season, the 3-point shooting rate is only 28%. Although Brown is young, he has some chicken ribs on offense, and there is no doubt about the role players, and the outside players can really take shots.

Seeing the configuration of the Thunder team, Gentry felt that the opposing head coach Brooks was really a mediocre talent, with such a strong overall strength, he did not form a good system, and all relied on superstar singles to drive the whole team, but the record was so good, you said that he was not angry...

Three minutes later, with three minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 14:26, and the score had stretched to 12 points, and Gentry called a long timeout.

"Guys, we're going to change our strategy, we're all coming here, and the next lineup to come on the court is Chen, Brown, Morris, Hill, Frye. Brown, you come to guard Westbrook, this opponent, the breakthrough is very strong, you can put him outside projection, pay attention to put pressure on him, stimulate him, because he is a hot-headed guy, Chen Shu did a good job at the beginning. As for Durant, Morris, you come to mark, Durant is top offensive, accurate shooting, and very good without the ball, but his confrontation is very poor, Morris, all you have to do is to give him a confrontation, but pay attention to fouls. The others pay attention to the defense, as long as you choke these two and take you, we can move back to the situation. ”

"After talking about defense, next, let's talk about offense, Perkins rebounding, interior single defense, covering, etc. are very strong, but he is heavy, too slow, Fry, your role is to lead him out of the restricted area, he can't keep up with your rhythm, at this time you can still choose to shoot outside, or involve him, clear the box. Hill, Ibaka will be handed over to you, the same is to take him out of the penalty area, reduce the opponent's interior defensive intensity, we focus on interior attack, Chen Shu, you have to pay attention to the distribution of the ball, this game, each of us must participate, in order to have a glimmer of life. ”

Gentry said a big push, but I have to admit that Gentry can become the head coach, which is indeed a certain level. He understands each player's technical characteristics, weaknesses and how to deal with them.

At the beginning of the game, the Thunder team attacked, Wei Shao smiled at Chen Shu with a big tooth: "Hey, Chen, come and defend me."

Chen Shu could only endure it, if it weren't for the coach's tactical arrangement, he would have to defend even if he couldn't prevent it. But now I can only pretend not to hear and keep an eye on Sephorosa.

Brown defends Wei Shao, throws but does not break through, as long as Wei Shao wants to break through, Brown will be close to him and put pressure on him, the strength of the two is not much different, and Chen Shu is making up for the defense at any time, Wei Shao did not make any money, so Wei Shao retreated to the 3-point line.

At this time, Durant asked for the ball at Wei Shao, "Russell, come on." ”

But in the first quarter of the game, he didn't make much of a move when he patronized hand-to-hand combat with the opponent before, so Wei Shao pretended not to see Durant who opened his hand.

The 3-pointer pulled out his hand, and Durant clapped his hands and turned his head to look at the basketball. It happens from time to time that Wei Shao ignores himself, but there have been more and more recently, but under normal circumstances, as long as the ball can go in, Durant generally doesn't say much.

"Bang" the basketball smashed heavily on the rebound, the ball was a little too deflected, and the basketball was picked up by Hill. At this time, Durant, who had been angry for a long time, finally expressed his dissatisfaction, think about it, the clay man still has 3 points of earthiness, the team boss asks not to give, you take a second master to waste, just once, but this situation is more and more, and the soft schoolbag Du is finally not happy.

"Russell, play with your brain, ok?" Durant pointed to his head and said to Wei Shao.

"Huh" Wei Shao replied in a nasal voice, which was a response.

Chen Shu came over with the ball, and Wei Shao, who was unhappy in his heart, hurriedly greeted him, and he wanted to use this Asian to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Haha, was you educated by the boss just now? Haha, as the second master, you have to be honest to know, right? Chen Shu stimulated Wei Shao to his heart's content, waiting for the opportunity, so that the conflict between the two broke out.

"If you want to take care of it, you can defeat me first, people who don't have strength are not worthy to talk to me" Wei Shao was annoyed.

"Haha, admit it, even if you have the strength, aren't you just a second-in-command, what's the big deal, I'm the boss of the team now, haha, envy it"

Wei Shao couldn't stand the stimulation and increased his defense, Chen Shu hurriedly retreated and called Frye to block and dismantle, so that if he changed the defense, Chen Shu could face Perkins, small and big, if he didn't change the defense, then there would be space in the middle to pass or shoot.

Sure enough, although Frye was a little thinner, the quality of the blocking and dismantling was okay, and after the dismantling, Chen Shu played a big game, a fake sudden real shot, and a 3-point shot.

"Huh" lived up to expectations, and after 3 consecutive losses, he finally scored a 3-pointer.

At 17:26, the score was instantly narrowed to 9 points.
