Chapter 307: Clippers Welfare Team!
The level of long-range investment has been increased!
Still without using the special training card, this made Sun Zhuo very pleasantly surprised. Speaking of which, Sun Zhuo practiced the most on weekdays was three-point shooting, and he had long felt that his three-point shot was not just as ordinary as the A-level of the system rating.
A two-meter-and-three-meter-high player with A+ long-range shooting ability, this is definitely not a common thing, in today's league, with the same height and position, there are probably no more than five with such long-range shooting ability, and Kevin Durant's height is taller than Sun Zhuo's long-range shooting ability, and the demon who can shoot to the S level has not yet appeared.
Today's game is completely a three-point battle, Warriors leader Byron Davis, after the team's style change, has become more like a fish in water, he likes to shoot three-pointers, he has to shoot ten times a game, and the shooting rate is also good, as a point guard in O'Neal, once the opponent is completely afraid of his three-point shot, he can more easily break through the basket to score or point the ball.
Relying on Davis, Dunleavy, Richardson and others, although they have lost a lot of games, they have also defeated league powerhouses like the Spurs, Mavericks, and Heat one after another, and these strong teams have all lost to the Warriors' crazy three-point shooting.
In the game when the Heat lost to the Warriors, Davis threw in 6 three-pointers, Dunleavy threw in 5, Richardson threw in three, Fisher threw in three, and the Heat was stunned in one game, and O'Neal shouted to Buffett in an interview after the game, don't listen to Sun Zhuo's advice, he wants to turn the Warriors into a three-point circus!
In everyone's perception, relying on three-point shots will never win the championship, and the Warriors are so strengthening the number of outside shots, reducing inside shots, and cultivating players' three-point shooting ability, which is a wrong route.
The Warriors manager also gave feedback to Buffett from time to time, but Buffett did not change the course of taking the three-point shot because of these voices, just like those long-term trades he has always liked to do, the loss in the early stage is not important, the important thing is that the trend is right, as long as this is determined, there will be a harvest one day.
By mid-January, the Magic had a special opponent and another Mike Dunleavy.
"Well, I have a headache." On the plane from Los Angeles to Orlando, Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy Sr. has been sighing for a long time.
"Coach, are you feeling unwell?" Shaun Livingston noticed something was wrong with his coach the day before yesterday, and he always looked like this in the training gym for the past two days.
"Yes, I'm not feeling well, very uncomfortable." Dunleavy still kept his head down, his eyes closed.
"If you're sick, you don't have to come with us to Orlando." Sean Livingston cared.
Dunleavy smiled helplessly, "Trust me, I definitely don't want to come." ”
Dunleavy is not sick, the reason why he is so tormented is Sun Zhuo, he has seen how crazy Sun Zhuo is this season, he scored 66 points in the third quarter, how many points do he have to score in the fourth quarter? 80? 90? At the thought of this, Dunleavy was about to collapse.
Last summer, Dunleavy asked Sun Zhuo to help him make a lot of money, and in return, when he met the Magic team, he had to do something, not to block Sun Zhuo's bottom corner three-point, and in addition, when Sun Zhuo scored a particularly high score, he couldn't be cruel to let him have no chance to shoot the ball.
In fact, not only Dunleavy is worried, but Sun Zhuo, who is the one who takes advantage, is also worried, he is worried, whether to break his personal career scoring record again in this game against the Clippers and hit the second highest score in history of 80+!
Sun Zhuo's original plan was to let Kobe break the record first, and after Kobe scored 81 points, Sun Zhuo would challenge and surpass, but the problem now is that Sun Zhuo has already met the Clippers, and Kobe has not yet met the Raptors.
Of course, the Magic will meet the Clippers again after Kobe meets the Raptors, but is there a possibility that Sun Zhuo will discuss with Dunleavy? This old fox would never let Sun Zhuo go in the second fight, he would say, "I gave you a chance, but you weren't sure."
Before Kobe Bryant scored 65 points in the third quarter, Sun Zhuo challenged Kobe, this time, you might as well come first for Sun Zhuo and let Kobe challenge him.
The Magic are at home, and both the Magic and the Clippers have already entered, and in what many people think is just an ordinary regular season game, but only Coach Son Zhuo and Coach Dunleavy know how unusual it is.
Before the game, Sun Zhuo took the initiative to walk to Coach Dunleavy and shook hands with him very respectfully: "Coach Dunleavy, meet again, we are a very young team, I hope you will raise your noble hand and don't be too cruel to us." ”
Coach Dunleavy has the face of a movie villain, very similar to the actor who played the prison sergeant Brad Berwick in "Prison Break", Sun Zhuo saw Coach Dunleavy's face, and unconsciously thought of him in uniform.
Coach Dunleavy couldn't cry or laugh, and said secretly in his heart: "Don't be too ruthless!" ”
Sun Zhuo saw that Coach Dunleavy was nervous, but Sun Zhuo's request was not excessive, he didn't let the Clippers perform or release the water, he just hoped that they wouldn't target, don't target the bottom corner three-point defense, and don't let Sun Zhuo not even catch the ball when he was about to break the record.
"God forbid, Sun's score in this game should not exceed 60 points, no, as long as it does not exceed 70 points, I can accept it!" Before the game, Coach Dunleavy had been praying silently on the bench.
Sun Zhuo will not make money for Dunleavy in vain, he will definitely kill this time.
"I was blocked by those damn coaches before, and I was able to shoot my best three-point shooting in the bottom corner, and today I can finally make a good shot!" Sun Zhuo was also very excited.
The two sides soon entered the game, defending Sun Zhuo was Sean Livingston, who was about the same height, the first attack, Sun Zhuo couldn't wait to run to the bottom corner, and reached out to his teammates to ask for the ball, his teammates passed a little slowly, Sun Zhuo was also a little lax, after all, the opposing coach was bribed, got the ball, and threw it out in the corner.
Syllable.
As soon as the ball was shot, it was capped by Livingston.
"Haha, haha, haha." Seeing this scene, Coach Dunleavy continued to laugh staccatoly, he didn't expect that without any arrangements and explanations for Shaun Livingston, Livingston himself predicted Sun Zhuo's shot and blocked it successfully.
Dunleavy: "Daniel, did you see Sean block Sun's bottom corner three-pointer?" ”
Daniel Ewing: "See, Coach. ”
Dunleavy: "I didn't tell him to be careful or guard against Sun's bottom threes, did I?" ”
Daniel Ewing: "Yes, Coach, I didn't hear you say anything like that. ”
Dunleavy: "Haha, haha, haha. ”
Daniel Ewing: "......"
Coach Dunleavy's laughter was very strange, "ha" was laughed into two sounds, and Daniel didn't know how a block could make the coach excited like this.
On the field, Sun Zhuo glared at Dunleavy very angrily, and Dunleavy hurriedly made an innocent statement and told Sun Zhuo with his actions, this has nothing to do with him, I didn't tell him what to do!
Sun Zhuo believes that Dunleavy will not be untrustworthy, so the block of this ball is not the coach's arrangement, but Livingston's own judgment.
Even if you get the opponent's coach, it's these players who are playing on the field, and for some smart players, these players know what to do without the coach's advice.
"Sean, good defense. Go on. Sun Zhuo did not get angry, but praised the opponent, if even Shaun Livingston can't deal with it, Sun Zhuo doesn't have to challenge Kobe.
Immediately afterwards, the Clippers missed the offense, Dwight Howard touched the rebound under the basket, and then came out of the basket and took two steps out to hold the ball firmly, Sun Zhuo was already ready for a fast break.
Sun Zhuo is in a good position, as long as the ball reaches him, with his speed and fast-break finishing ability, it can definitely be converted into a score.
However, Howard saved the ball far away, and he was a little anxious to pass the ball to Sun Zhuo, and he was particularly hard, smashing the ball directly on Sun Zhuo's face, resulting in the failure of the fast attack.
"Haha, haha, haha." Coach Dunleavy began to gloat again, a second ago he was still worried about giving Sun Zhuo another chance to score easily, but he didn't expect Sun Zhuo to be cheated by his teammates, and this time the score failed again!
Did Coach Dunleavy feel that his prayers were starting to work?
Coach Dunleavy laughed from the sidelines, and the Clippers players laughed along, which caused disgust among the Magic fans at the scene.
"Why is the coach of the Clippers so gloating? Since Sun's first three-pointer was covered, he has been like this, what's so funny? ”
"This old man is so hateful, I feel that he is targeting Sun, I understand his coaching style, he has always been very serious and unsmiling, I don't know why he is like this to Sun, speaking of which, his son Mike Dunleavy with the same name and surname can now be used by the Golden State Warriors, or thanks to Sun's advice, he has gone too far!"
Even the referee heard Coach Dunleavy's weird laugh and reminded, "Be careful with what you say and do, Coach Dunleavy." ”
The referee has also known Dunleavy for many years, and knows that Dunleavy can't be a coach for a few years, and this year may be the last year, and the referee doesn't want him to end up with a bad reputation in his final year.
After being reminded by the referee, Coach Dunleavy laughed even harder, because he suddenly thought of Tim Duncan, who was sent off for laughing some time ago, if he was also sent off, wouldn't he have to worry about this? No matter how many points Sun Zhuo scored in the end, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
Dunleavy laughed at the referee a few more times, and these laughs made the Clippers players sitting behind them laugh dumbfounded, the opponent was just a passing error, is it so funny......
"Damn, this old man wants to run away." Sun Zhuo saw Dunleavy's old guy's thoughts, and hurriedly stepped forward behind the referee, put his hands on the referee, kept him away from Dunleavy, and said as he walked: "You don't have to be familiar with him, I don't mind his behavior, I heard that he has a mental illness, you know, he is 52 years old, this is probably the last season of his career coaching, just give him some privileges." ”
The referee was impressed by Sun Zhuo, and the referee on the opposite side laughed at Sun Zhuo like this, but Sun Zhuo did not force the referee to punish the other party, but stood up to speak for the opponent, which is indeed difficult to see, besides, the referee will not really send Dunleavy out of the game because of his laughter.
"Magic No. 1 is still quite generous, you can take proper care of it, the Clippers dare to be so arrogant on the road, and it is the head coach who takes the lead in mocking, although I don't dare to send you out directly, but you will pay some price for it."
At the beginning, Sun Zhuo's offensive state was not good, his teammates were not in good shape, and coupled with a series of mistakes, it was easy to affect the mood, but when Sun Zhuo saw that the referee was a little biased towards their side, Sun Zhuo had no worries, boldly killed the Clippers basket, and repeatedly got free throw opportunities.
Seeing Sun Zhuo's score slowly rising, Coach Dunleavy began to laugh.
After one quarter, Sun Zhuo scored 18 points in a single quarter.
Shaun Livingston mainly stared at Sun Zhuo in the first quarter, but let him score so many points in one quarter, he felt very embarrassed, and he also felt that he would be scolded to death by the coach, but what made him strange was that Coach Dunleavy did not scold him at all.
"I'm sorry, Coach, I didn't take precautions." Livingston voluntarily admitted his mistake.
Coach Dunleavy has already accumulated hundreds of swear words in his heart, but according to the agreement, he can't do this, the players are what they are, and Dunleavy can't influence them.
As a result, without the coach scolding at all, the Clippers' defensive intensity against Sun Zhuo still did not improve.
In the second quarter, Sun Zhuo was even more demanding, and got many opportunities to shoot at the bottom corner with three points, and at halftime, Sun Zhuo scored more than 40 points!
"Oh my God, Sun scored so hard today, 40 points in the half, and today is another 60+!"
"The point is that there is not a lot of score difference, if you can play in the fourth quarter, won't Sun be able to score 80+?"
During halftime, the Clippers locker room.
After returning to the locker room, Coach Dunleavy didn't say a word, didn't do any ranting and scolding to the players, he only had one thing in mind, he couldn't let the suspense of the game last until the fourth quarter, if the Clippers trailed by more than 20 points in the third quarter, then Sun Zhuo should not play again, and his score was maintained at about 60.
However, seeing Coach Dunleavy so abnormal, the Clippers players were very uncomfortable.
"Coach, you can scold us, we know we played badly in the first half!" Livingston said frustratedly.
Coach Dunleavy gently touched Livingston's face and said, "No, you guys are doing well, it's good to continue to be in this state, the important thing is not to win or lose, but whether we have grown." ”
Everyone wondered, this is not like what Coach Dunleavy said, he was not like this before!
"Eh, did you say the coach gave up on us? He doesn't demand anything from us today, it's not like his style. Mobley whispered to Elton Brand.
Brand whispered back: "He retired after coaching this season, we played so badly, he really can't raise the strength to reprimand us, brother, in the second half we have to fight for some gas and make some results for the coach to see." ”
"Hmm." Mobley agrees with Brand.
As a result, the game that could have ended in three quarters was maintained until the fourth quarter under the combined power of Mobley and Brand......
