Chapter 814: Embattled!
"Beep beep beep!!"
When the referee's whistle sounded, the fans were stunned.
The fans are really scared, there are still about 5 minutes left in this game, although the team's main player Chen Mu is in quite good condition, but the team's No. 2 person, Stephen Curry, is a little lost at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
This is the second game of the finals, and Curry is still a little uncomfortable with Wei Shao's mad dog-style offensive and defensive style. In addition, the defensive strategy of the Kings is extremely strange, Curry played two games, but he didn't get a complete vacant opportunity, and every time he shot, someone would always appear in front of him and interfere.
Although for a star of Curry's level, whether there is anyone interfering in front of him does not have such a big impact on the shooting percentage. But Curry is a projection-first player after all, and he can't find a feel for his projection, and it's not easy for you to ask him to force a reversal of the disadvantage with a breakthrough or some other way.
The Kings adhered to the principle of the triangle system and vowed not to give Curry a chance to vacate the spot, resulting in Curry's every shot, which was a strong shot in a defensive situation. Even if it is a breakthrough, there will definitely be people in front of you who will interfere.
It's just once or twice, and now it's like this every time, and it's hard to find your own rhythm like Curry.
The offensive end doesn't feel good, and Curry has shot less than 40 percent from the field for two consecutive games, which is definitely not what he should be doing at his current level. In the market, there are endless discussions about whether Curry is Chen Mu's best partner and whether he has the ability to become the super Pippen next to Chen Mu, which invisibly adds more pressure to Curry.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the offense didn't go well, and in this game, Curry had four fouls due to too many shots. If you get another foul, you're going to have to take a break and maybe get the last two or three minutes to come back.
For a player like Curry, who is in a very good state, this kind of chopped playing time will affect his shooting feeling even more, and it will definitely be quite detrimental to the subsequent Philadelphia game.
This time, Gu Yu's shot was violated by Curry's space, and when the referee's whistle blew, almost everyone thought that Curry would be fouled.
however
"Sacramento Kings No. 22, technical foul !!"
As soon as the referee awarded the penalty, the audience was in an uproar.
“…… What do you say?!!! ”
Gu Yu exploded on the spot, he just yelled at the referee a few times before, but he didn't care about anything at this time, he was about to go crazy when he rolled up his sleeves.
"Cousin, forget it......!" Fortunately, George was quick and noticed that Gu Yu's direction was wrong, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Gu Yu, for fear that Gu Yu would say something more and eat another technical foul.
Two technical fouls in a game are to be sent off the court, and all fans know this. George's behavior is undoubtedly helping Gu Yu fight for the opportunity to continue to stay on the court, which is absolutely correct.
But few people perceive one thing:
Gu Yu is not far from being banned.
"You know, so far in the playoffs, my cousin has accumulated 6 technical fouls. One of them was against the Spurs, one against the Thunder, and four more, all against the Clippers. ”
On the side of the commentary stage, Smith immediately flipped through the technical statistics prepared at hand and introduced: "I don't know why, this cousin seems to be very emotional when he is facing the Clippers." Especially against Reddick, the trash talk in his mouth didn't stop for a second. Of the 4 technical fouls, 3 were for insulting Redick, and 1 was for Redick's small movements, and the cousin swung it directly with an elbow, although it didn't hit anyone, but the referee still blew the technical foul. ”
After reading the data, Smith also felt a little strange, and was puzzled: "I haven't heard of any holiday between my cousin and Reddick before, why did he target Reddick like this??" ”
"Cut, a guy like Reddick, he deserves to be scolded by his cousin!" Barkley apparently heard some rumors through the grapevine, and said disdainfully: "If I am on the field, and a clown like Reddick dares to cross me, I will go back on an elbow, without negotiation!" Fortunately, now there is a cousin on the field to do the road for me, the sky has eyes! ”
What's this......
Smith was also speechless, but he was keenly aware that there must be a reason why Barkley didn't say what he said, so he didn't ask anymore, but continued to look at the technical statistics and said: "According to the current rules, in the NBA playoffs, a player will be suspended for one game as long as he accumulates 7 technical fouls, and then every two more suspensions." So my cousin's current situation is a bit tricky, he must control his temper, otherwise he will be suspended in the finals, which will be a big loss. ”
"Keep your temper in check?" Barkley squinted at Smith, shook his head with a smile and said, "Cousin, I'm good, players like us, if you can control your temper, will you still love us?" ”
The fat man's words left Smith speechless.
yes, it always seems a little weird.
But it's not right, everyone likes players like Gu Yu and Barkley, and there is indeed a part of it because of their fiery temper.
“…… Swish! ”
On the court, Curry executed a technical foul and hit a free throw.
“YEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!”
When the fans cheered in unison, Curry also clenched his fists tightly and whispered to himself: "YES! ”
Although it is just a free throw, being able to have this kind of undisturbed shot opportunity is definitely a good thing for Curry's recovery.
The action just now, Curry himself knows, is definitely a foul. It's just that the referee's angle is not very good, and he didn't mean it, so the referee didn't blow it, and he escaped it.
"Mom, blow a whistle, you think you're a woo woo woo ......!!!"
Looking not far away, Gu Yu was covered by George's crying and laughing, and his hands were still waving around, looking like he was going to fight with the referee, Curry really didn't know what to think.
Defeating opponents with dignity is Curry's bottom line of playing, and it is also his highest pursuit. Now that I have taken advantage of a controversial blowing penalty, how should I adjust this mentality?
"Trouble pause, thanks."
On the Kings bench, the players were laughing like crazy, and Phil Jackson was also crying and laughing, politely asking the referee for a timeout, which was in stark contrast to the ghosts and snakes under his hands.
King, Gu Yu.
This team, this opponent......
Curry took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.
It's really difficult......!
"They've noticed it."
Just as Curry was thinking about it, a big hand came up.
Curry looked back, Chen Mu.
"Wei Shao probably just noticed it, and the other Kings players may not even have thought of it. But I believe that Phil Jackson and Xiao Gu must have noticed it early on. Pulling Curry to the bench, Chen Mu lowered his voice and said, "They have long been aware of the fact that you have a foul problem." ”
Stephen Curry, four fouls.
Will the Kings professionals not notice something so obvious?
Don't say it, it's really possible.
The so-called authorities are obsessed, when playing on the court, the players are in a state of adrenaline, the basketball is in hand, the decision is a matter of a moment, and there is generally no time to think so much.
Not to mention professional players, it's just that you and I usually play wild ball, the pace is so slow, and when you really think about all the details on the court, how many times?
To be able to perceive the fouls of everyone on the other side in that situation, the feeling of the opponent's shot, where the opponent likes to create chances, and who in the opponent's lineup is particularly accurate at a certain point today for these messy people, without exception, all of them are at the star level of the golf quotient.
As far as the current situation on the court is concerned, Chen Mu, Gu Yu, Curry.
These three people are probably the first to notice Curry's troubles.
"In that attack just now, after he passed, he could have used his speed and strength to kill the basket, and directly accelerate you to pass, but he didn't do it."
Back on the bench, Philadelphia coach Carlisle also put forward the same point as Chen Mu: "So I deduce that my cousin should have been killing you in a targeted manner." If nothing else, when you return to the court, Phil will lay out more detailed tactics to attack you. ”
His eyes fell on Curry, and Carlisle said solemnly: "You have to be ready, the defensive end, it's really not good, you just let it go." But only if you have to find a way to feel and get the rhythm back on the offensive end. ”
“…… I'll give it a try! Curry nodded, knowing that the responsibility was great, and said no more.
At the same time, the Kings bench.
"I rely on this referee, and I can't blow my hairstyle if I'm jealous!"
Gu Yu is angry here.
"People are bald, and if they are jealous of your hairstyle, they will have a ghost......"
Bynum on the side also couldn't cry or laugh, and complained.
"Hehe, don't make a fuss."
Phil Jackson hurriedly stopped the players from messing around again, and said with a smile: "The situation is very delicate now, and in the next few rounds, whoever doesn't handle it well will be embattled." ”
…… Well?
The players were stunned when they heard this, and they didn't understand what the coach meant.
Only Gu Yu calmed down all of a sudden, took a deep breath, and nodded: "The old man of the winged bucket is right, every next round is very crucial. Especially on your side, Russell. ”
"What's the key, just rush!" Wei Shao is angry and bloody, and with a wave of his fist, he is very arrogant.
"On Lao Chen's side, no matter how good our tactics are, it is impossible to completely control him." Gu Yu completely ignored Wei Shao's nonsense and continued: "But it's hard to say Curry, what happens next...... It's a foul thing. ”
Gu Yu's words, his teammates didn't fully understand them all of a sudden.
But after about two minutes, everyone understood.
