Chapter 235: The Demon ...... Heads-Up!
"Wonderful!"
Sleep Train Arena, the 2011-2012 NBA regular season, the Kings' opener game is underway. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
“LET’S-GO-KINGS! LET’S-GO-KINGS! LET’S-GO-KINGS! ”
The Kings fans shouted incessantly, and at least three-quarters of the fans in the stadium stood up directly from their seats, waving slogans in their hands to applaud the wonderful performance of the Kings youngsters.
No one thought that in the opening game against the upstart Clippers, the Kings could play such a gorgeous offensive frenzy at home. In the face of the Clippers' star-studded new lineup, the Kings were not afraid at all, from starters to benches, there was only one thought on the court:
Attack!
"Cousin!"
The outside line was conducted, and the Kings players made continuous off-ball covers for Gu Yu. The big back was shiny, and he ran around the three-point line in the frontcourt, and suddenly turned and cut inward, and while receiving the ball in the middle distance of the baseline, the Clippers rushed up with at least three people to wrap up.
Can't let him score any more!
Negro watched from the sidelines with his teeth clenched, Gu Yu played so poorly at the beginning of the first quarter, once shooting 1 of 5, and his hand was extremely sparse. But as the game continued, Westfaal's wonderful change of formation completely opened Gu Yu's scoring valve.
The game is not over yet, Gu Yu has already scored a high score of 27 points, and he started in the first game of the new season.
"Don't let him play! Locked! Bottom Line Locked!! ”
Paul took the lead, Butler and Griffin attacked inside and outside, and the three of them raised their six arms high, completely sealing all the space around Gu Yu. After Gu Yu received the ball, he didn't even have room to dribble even once, let alone shaking the ball with both hands, he couldn't even move one more step under his feet.
Worst!
Xiao Yu on the sidelines was anxious in his eyes, Gu Yu's attack was based on his own personal singles as the driving point, so that he could use his own offensive firepower to contain and send some passes to revitalize the team's offense.
Now that the Clippers have locked Gu Yu's offensive space, with Gu Yu's court vision, it is simply a fool's dream to make some great passes.
"That's it, well done, that's it!"
Negro finally let out a sigh of relief and looked up at the scoreboard.
At 109-98, the Kings led by 11 points at home, with about 5 minutes left in the game, and the next dead-ball timeout, the two sides would switch back to full strength.
It is necessary to stabilize this point difference, and when the main team comes back, the Clippers will have a chance to rely on the absolute strength advantage of the players to chase the point difference back!
"I pass ......"
"Smack!"
Gu Yu raised the ball and wanted to pass it, but Paul in front of him didn't give him this opportunity, as soon as the basketball was raised above his waist, Paul had already stabbed the ball with a quick hand.
"Counter-Attack-!!"
"Bang bang!"
Turning and accelerating, Paul galloped like a bolt of lightning, and God knows how many feints he made when he shook Evans, almost pinning Evans' legs to the ground, and he couldn't move at all.
"Back to the defense! Back to Defense!! ”
The fastest retreat on the King's side was Garcia, who hurried to catch up with Paul near the top of the arc.
But the two wings, the Clippers' two outside lines, have been down into place.
“…… Sou! ”
Kaloon Butler!
Paul split the ball, Butler did not hesitate to get up in three steps after holding the ball, Garcia chased sideways, reached out to interfere with Butler's shot, but it was too late.
"Huh!"
“YES……!”
Layup!
"Single-digit margin!"
The on-site commentator was thrilled by the Clippers' concise and sharp fast attack this time, and said loudly: "The Clippers have been behind for so long, and they have finally narrowed the difference to single digits!" There is still enough game time, and the Clippers still have a chance! ”
"Beep beep!"
Westphal did not hesitate at all and immediately called a timeout.
"Whew...... Call...... Call...... Whew......"
Back on the bench, Gu Yu sat on the seat and gasped for breath, the water glass in his hand trembled slightly, and his physical exertion was obviously great.
"Change formations."
Westphaal glanced at Gu Yu deeply, knowing the Clippers' wheel battle defensive strategy, it was a great drain on Gu Yu's physical energy, and said: "We have to change the formation, they will also change the formation, if nothing else, their offensive efficiency will be increased by at least one level in the future!" ”
Fitness gap.
Westphall didn't say the second half of the sentence, he knew very well that relying on the wonderful lineup, relying on the perseverance and patience of the players, relying on the mediocre feeling of the Clippers, and relying on the slight advantage of the home court, the Kings were able to get this 10-point lead, which is already the limit.
After all, the Clippers have a superstar like Paul, and the offensive weapons inside and outside are also more abundant, coupled with the depth advantage of the bench, the overall physical consumption is far smaller than that of the Kings.
More critically......
"The Kings players are starting to have mental baggage."
In the media seat, a reporter frowned and said: "As soon as the opening game is behind, even the Kings players will feel that it is expected." After all, there is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams, and it is only natural that the Clippers should take the lead. ”
"But then the king overtook him, and he played a wave of super attacks, and he has been holding the lead since then!" Some reporters expressed puzzlement.
"That's why the mentality of the Kings players is starting to change at this point."
The old reporter analyzed: "At this time, there is still a double-digit advantage in hand, and the Kings players just don't have any ideas, and they will unconsciously think that they have a chance to win." As long as you have this kind of psychological baggage, you will start to seek stability when you play, and you don't want to lose your hard-won advantages. As soon as the psychology changes, technical movements, tactical ideas, and running choices will all go wrong. ”
This is the saddest hurdle for a weak team after facing a strong team and gaining an advantage.
On the plane where you and I are, in the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese team also faced the powerful Spain, most of the time when they played with their opponents, and they were anxious.
This is the wonderful effect of the dog mentality, the players fought to the death, put aside all the pressure and let go, the technical and tactical play exceeded their usual limits, and the performance on the field naturally rose to a higher level.
But when the game came to the last moment and the Chinese team found that there was a real chance to win the game, everyone's mentality changed.
Timid, fatal mistakes, and the usually simple open shots also hit the iron. Basketball is round, and anything can happen. But why a weak team is a weak team is not just a gap in skill and talent.
The difference is the spirit of being a strong man.
"Change back to the starter!"
On the sidelines, Westphal made adjustments with a wave of his hand, and in the last five minutes, he had to fight to the death.
"Tyrek, Kid Head, Francisco, Jason, DeMarcus, start on the defensive end!"
Drawing quickly on the tactical board, the old coach gave tactical instructions: "Attack to find opportunities to push fast attack, and the defensive end is the focus." They still have an advantage on the inside, the breakthrough ability of the No. 1 position is terrible, Francisco, you have to make up for the defense and cruise, Crumon Butler's outside shooting is not too stable, if it really doesn't work, just let it go a little bit, it's not a big problem! ”
"Yes!"
"Little ghost."
After assigning other people's tasks, Westphaal looked at the exhausted Gu Yu: "If we fall into the position, our team's ability to cooperate can't compare to theirs, and the task of attacking ...... It's on you. ”
"Whew...... Singled out......? ”
Gu Yu took a sip of his drink and looked at Westfaal.
"Heads-up."
The old man nodded heavily: "Remember the combination of sudden throws, the others ...... Go all out to grab rebounds for the little ghost, open up space, and don't have too many runs, which will affect the little ghost's offensive options. ”
"Understood!"
The timeout was over quickly, and the Kings players regained their confidence and were about to roar into the game.
As soon as they saw the lineup sent by the Clippers on the opposite side, everyone's hearts were groaning.
"W-What ......?!"
Garcia, in particular, couldn't believe his eyes.
At such a critical moment, not the full starting lineup??
What the hell is the Clippers going to ......
'They're only a little bit good at the number three, so Garcia will definitely be around.'
Negro, for his part, is also seizing the time to make the final tactical arrangement: "Morris, seize the opportunity." ”
“GOT-IT-SIR!”
Mo Williams, the third is here!
"This ......"
Xiao Mo's shooting rate outside the three-point line is extremely terrifying, averaging more than 38 percent per game, and Garcia will be tantamount to digging his own grave if he lets go of Xiao Mo to make up for the defense.
But if you don't make up for it, you can ...... in other positions
"It's too late to adjust, old man."
Gu Yu, get up.
"Let's see the effect first, if you can't defend it to the end, the idea of the Clippers is to force us to wrap up at the No. 1 and No. 4 positions and give us a chance to shoot from the outside. Anyway, with Griffin and Jordan Jr., the rebounding advantage is in their hands. ”
Moving his wrist, Gu Yu's eyes changed.
"They're going to force us to attack, and then make a fuss with the success rate, since that's ......"
In his eyes, the fighting spirit appeared.
“…… Then I'll go head-to-head! ”
"Beep beep!"
The game continues!
"The game goes on, the game goes on! Both sides have made personnel adjustments, Butler on the Clippers' side is in the No. 2 position, and Mo Williams is in the No. 3 position, a very wonderful position exchange, to force the Kings to play against each other! ”
The professional commentator saw the crux of the problem at a glance, and Zhengse said: "If you can't keep up with the pace of the Clippers, the Kings are likely to fall behind quickly in the next few minutes." To crack this situation, the Kings must find a strong spot as soon as possible where they can score unlimited singles, will it be Evans or Cousins? We'll see! ”
Evans? Cousins?
Hey......
Gu Yu stepped into the court, and the innate ferocity came out vigorously.
"Sacramento's heads-up demon is my Gu Yula......!"
"Cousin!"
When they came to the frontcourt, the Kings players cooperated as soon as possible, and when the basketball was delivered to Gu Yu's hands......
"It's all for Lao Tzu to pull away-!!"
Gu Yu, singles open ......!
