Chapter 261: Big Van Gundy with Egg Pain

The Rockets lost the second game of the Western Conference Finals, but it was not a loss without resistance, even if the Zen master calculated first, and the Lakers players were in great shape, but Totoro's four unreasonable three-pointers in a row at the last moment still made the Zen master and Lakers fans break out in a cold sweat.

Two of them pulled out directly in front of the defenders, one leaned back under the three-man package, and the last one shot in the midfield logo area, these four unpredictable three-point points made the Lakers almost think that the God who created the Maddie moment had descended on Totoro again, but fortunately, Totoro did not score three points in the last fight, so that Kobe Bryant seized the opportunity to score a chase two points to reopen the difference, otherwise I don't know who will die in this game.

Although Totoro lost the game, he was on fire again, he was not in the first three quarters, and even the first half of the fourth quarter was not in shape, which may also have something to do with the fact that he was not the main point of attack today, he only shot 4 of 12 in three and a half quarters, and only got 13 points, 11 boards and 4 assists, but he relied on the four three-pointers in the last three minutes to suddenly make the data of this game become 25 points, 12 boards and 4 assists, which has changed from a qualified report card of a main player to an excellent report card of a star player?

My Neighbor Totoro's short-term scoring explosion is incredible, and his three-point play in the final stage also made everyone's eyes shine, especially those quick three-point shots, which seem to make people see a new tactic.

D'Antoni, who was far away in the Knicks, was greatly inspired, and now the league still uses two points as the main tactic, and three points are just the icing on the cake, just seeing the three-point power of Totoro, the mustache can't help but think, if everyone in a team has three-point ability, how terrifying it should be, it doesn't matter if it's not allowed for a while, as long as it is opened for a certain period of time, wouldn't it kill the game in minutes?

And Stephen Curry, who has finished playing in the NCAA league and is preparing to participate in this year's draft, also feels deeply when he looks at the TV, three points is his specialty, but he seems to see his shadow from Totoro's shot, the same fast shot, the same accuracy, and the same self-confidence, people who are not confident will not choose to shoot near the midfield when they have time, and Totoro has done this more than once.

Of course, Curry doesn't think Totoro is copying his own style, he feels that he and the other party are just a coincidence, because he is still an unemployed person who has not entered the NBA, and he is indeed a hot rising star in the league, and once he entered the league, he broke various rookie records, and led the team to compete for the championship in the first year, how could such an emperor superstar study his game tape?

And to go to those teams for training this year, Steve Curry has long been prepared, in fact, all rookies are the same, almost as long as they are not rookies in the big forward and center positions, they will go to the Rockets to go for a while, everyone knows that the Rockets have a top three picks, even if he can't win the championship this year, who doesn't want to join a championship seeded team with a high pick?

The Houston people are seriously understaffed in the two positions of small forward and scoring guard, and every time they play, the two positions are made by Totoro Iguodala and Battier in turn, which is also too tiring, and in the organization guard and power forward, confident rookies are not impossible to try, rotten tofu I don't know if it will stay next year, David Lee has also been proven to be at this level, Lowry still only has one hand to break through, Calderon is decent and has no development prospects, At least Curry is very confident that if he can be selected by the Rockets, he will be able to snatch the main position with half a season's effort.

"Hey, hello, may I ask you are My Neighbor Totoro, right?"

After the game, the Rockets packed their bags and took a plane back to Houston overnight after the press conference, but as soon as they got off the plane, several media were already waiting at the airport for interviews, and several of them were familiar faces that Totoro couldn't even refuse.

"You are Zhang.... Director Zhang, right, disrespectful, disrespectful, why did your old man come back to Houston! ”

My Neighbor Totoro is not very familiar with the Chinese media, but I don't know anyone who can't help but know the reasonable master! Since the time when he had memories of watching basketball in his previous life, Mr. Zhang appeared in the studio rain or shine to explain every NBA game related to the Rockets, it can be said that the basketball youth of his generation was not only brought to him by Da Yao, but also brought to him by Director Zhang, and the other party's humorous commentary style also made Totoro like it very much, but I don't know why, Master Reasonable has a lot of black fans outside to make Totoro very depressed, doesn't this old man just like to praise his players and like Kobe very much? Is this going to be sprayed with blood?

"Hey, you still know me, that's great, I came to Houston to prepare to explain your next two games, and today I just heard that you came back from Los Angeles, and the current owner of the Rockets is also our own people, so I came over to get to know you."

Master Reasonable is called a happy ah, he originally thought that Totoro, a banana man born in the United States, would not be very awkward to see him, or that it would not be very embarrassing to communicate, but when he heard the smooth Mandarin in Totoro's mouth, Director Zhang immediately felt that he was communicating with an ordinary Chinese.

And more importantly, Totoro is not pretending to have an amiable attitude towards himself, and he has to put other banana people, such as a certain scholar or something, but he has no feelings for his compatriots from the mainland.

Master Reasonable likes basketball very much and is also very patriotic, his lifelong wish is to see Chinese in the NBA to make a difference, Yao Ming's rise is considered to have satisfied half of his wish, and now when he meets Totoro, Master Reasonable really feels that he has no regrets in his life.

Several people hit it off, and after chatting for a few days, they went to Yao Mingkai's Yao restaurant for a supper, Totoro talked a lot about his own growth experience and his perception and experience of playing NBA, and they chatted very late this night, so that the next day when the team resumed training, Totoro was almost late because he got up late.

Adelman looked at Totoro with an unkind expression, Totoro knew that he was wrong and didn't say much, and consciously ran to the side and did 200 push-ups as a respect.

"Guys, let me tell you, it's not time for us to enjoy the win, we're tied 1-1 with the Lakers, and even though we got homecourt advantage back, that's on the premise that we're holding on to the next two home courts, you know what I mean? If you slack off now, I can guarantee that you will lose much more in the future than you have gained now! ”

The old coach meant something, Totoro obviously heard that the old coach was alluding to him, Adelman has always deliberately emphasized that players are not allowed to contact the media privately, thinking that the media's interview reports are easy to affect the form of the player's preparation, and now it is good that he has become the first person to eat crabs, and it is strange not to be scolded by the old coach.

But this is also Totoro, even if he violates the rules that are expressly prohibited, the old coach can only turn a blind eye, no way, the number of people is big, if other players dare to learn from him to do this, hehe, it is estimated that the next game will have been next to the water cooler.

"Yesterday, I pondered and meditated on a new set of defensive formations, aimed at someone else, it is Kobe, today we have no other purpose in recovery training, is to help me practice this defensive formation for me to be familiar with, we want to give the Lakers a group of aristocratic lords to take a look, we have done our best here, don't they always call us a blue-collar team? Just let them know that blue-collar workers from industrial cities are not easy to mess with. ”

"Long live the mud legs! Long live the working class! Down with all imperialist reactionaries! ”

Totoro immediately raised his hand and shouted like taking the wrong medicine, this can make the big Yao on the side laugh, the little giant heart said that you are shouting in Chinese, this group of foreigners do not understand, otherwise the American imperialists present will be the first to beat you first.

The Rockets were in full swing training here, while the Magic and Celtics took the lead in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Because Big Van Gundy didn't make any mistakes after the last game, he put aside that vigorous blowing and dumping, so the Orlando reporters who were idle and had nothing to do processed Van Bald's determination to change the way, and if I didn't win the second game, I would resign as a coach, and if I lost a home court, I would quit the basketball circle from now on, and all kinds of remarks spread in the city of Orlando.

When fans saw that the head coach had expressed his position like this, they naturally said that they would not spray each other, and everyone used their coaching career as a bet, why didn't they give the other party a chance, it also seemed that they were too unkind.

But when Da Van Gundy saw the news reported in the newspaper, the chrysanthemum tightened, and he didn't think when he said this to the media after turning over and over his memories, isn't this the old birthday star who has a long life? If he had the kung fu, he really wanted to take all those few nonsense media to court, which was definitely looking for his own happiness.

Originally, Big Van Gundy wanted to shake off the pot, but now it's good, the pot of the last game defeat is still shaken off, but it seems that the situation he will face next is even more cheating, how can he be called good?

With a nervous mood, Big Van Gundy came to Amway Arena with magic, but he was now full of nothing related to the game, but he was thinking about what the fans would do if he lost this game. Will there be a mass march calling for their dismissal? Will I lose this job?

A coach has so many messy minds, the good team that can be commanded on the court is really hell, the Yan Shi Reeves on the opposite side doesn't know what happened to Van Gundy, he used a change of formation in this game, and took Pierce off the starting line to be the super sixth man, but Van Gundy didn't have any response to this, and I don't know if the big fat man was watching the starting list of the game, Magic and the Celtics just played a quarter on the court, the score was 23-25, and the Magic was slightly ahead by two points.

But in the second quarter, when Uncle Pi led the bench lineup to play, the situation on the court changed abruptly, and the Magic side was not ready to deal with it at all, and was fouled by Pierce and suddenly made a foul, scoring 8 points in a row, and the Magic instantly went from leading by two points to falling behind by 7 points.

Doug Rivers on the other side laughed, he didn't know what happened to Big Van Gundy, but it was true that he was not in shape today, although in the past he would be slow to teach himself on the spot, but it would not be like today, his team's head was about to be smashed and indifferent.

I've also heard about the news reported by the Orlando Times, but the other party shouldn't be so insane today because of this influence, right? It stands to reason that it's impossible, everyone is a professional coach, and they won't be affected by off-field factors, right?

But no matter what the reason, the enemy is tired and I fight, and I want him to die when he is sick, Rivers will not accept this big gift from others.

"Give me a full attack, I want you to defeat the Magic team in the second quarter, we have to take a long-term view, there are more veterans in the team, physical strength has become a problem, since the opponent now gives us a chance, I will end the battle at halftime and reserve physical strength for the opponent in the Finals."

Rivers also deliberately called a timeout, sending Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo, Davis, the most powerful lineup they currently have, in fact, Rivers doesn't need to bother at all, and the truth of the wolf king is not a rookie player who doesn't know anything on the first day of playing in the league, they have long seen that the Magic team is in a state today, and the collective is not in a state, and the fact is not so, if you want to say that a core player is the team's example, So the head coach can affect the state of a team even more, even the commander is lost, can the players under him not be cool?

After this timeout, the Green Shirts suddenly gave the Magic team an attack wave, but on the other hand, the Magic were unprepared, there was no decent resistance, there was no contact between the players, everyone was taking care of their own data, hoping that even if they lost their report card in this game, they could be more beautiful, and they could be sprayed less by the fans after the game.

At halftime, the Celtics led the Magic by 25 points, 64-39, and the home fans at Amway Arena began to retreat in a sparse manner. It's just that they ran away in the fourth quarter of the game in the first game, and today they actually advanced by one quarter? If this situation continues, won't they end up saying goodbye at the end of the first quarter?

It's just that it's likely that they don't even have the chance to say goodbye next time, the Magic lost both home games by a big score, and the gap between the two teams can be seen at a glance, and the home team has to play badly They can make a difference away from home, maybe they will be swept back to fish in four games?
