"At the last minute, I want to try."

This......

When Gu Yu said this, the Kings players were stunned.

What to try? Everyone knows it very well in their hearts.

A day earlier, the Sacramento team center, Gu Yu and Cousins, received private instruction from the great god Bernard King.

Everyone was there when Bernard King came to the court, so it was clear to everyone that the main purpose of Bernard King's trip was to teach about low singles.

With Cousins' technical characteristics and physical condition, the low-post singles is simply a technique tailored for him. Abundant finishing means, good skill level in passing and control and position, and a certain shooting threat...... Cousins came to the low post, a beast, and in an era when the low post was increasingly undervalued, almost no one could stop him.

However, in the face of the Thunder, in order to deal with the Thunder's aggressive defense and the harsh interior environment, Cousins had to retreat and use high post attacks and strategies to free up interior space for his teammates.

The reason for this is simple, the second and third games of the series have proven that if the traditional style of play is adopted, Cousins plays a low single, Gu Yu flanks a heads-up, and Evans switches the offensive distribution ball, the Kings will definitely lose.

Against a team like the Thunder, who have excellent individual ability, the Kings must play with a 12-point spirit, give 200 percent of their hard work, and use some weird moves to have a chance to win.

The traditional Gu Yu + Cousins "single-point explosion drives the whole team" style of play is obviously not enough to challenge the Thunder.

And now, although the Thunder Ibaka has completely exploded, he has played the best playoff performance of his career. But the Kings were able to bite the score and were not pulled away until the last minute, just because they didn't suffer too much on the offensive end.

That is what Bernard King and Gu Yu said: forcibly explode each other.

But now, the team is 5 points behind, and in the last 52 seconds, Gu Yu ......

"It's going to ruin the whole rhythm."

Evans frowned and said: "It's hard to get used to the current style of play, we have all fought to this time, you are going to go to the low post singles and settle the position in the traditional way?" I don't support it! ”

"Hmm...... is debatable. ”

Even Suoton, who had always stood firmly on Gu Yu's side, shook his head: "You just learned a new technology, and you want to use it immediately on the field, I can understand it, if it's me, I definitely want to try the skills you just learned in this game." But now the situation is too special, and to let you go to the low post singles is to completely destroy the rhythm that we have insisted on for so many games, and the whole team is easy to be at a loss! ”

"Yes, yes, cousin, think twice!"

"That said, it's not that we don't believe in your strength, it's just that it's a bit ...... to do this at this time."

"Something?"

Without waiting for his teammates to finish speaking, Gu Yu raised his eyes, stretched out his finger and pointed to the scoreboard, and said with a smile: "You think it's not good, then tell me, what can we do to catch up with these 5 points in 52 seconds?" ”

I......

The crowd was speechless.

Oh, yes!

The Thunder is leading by 5 points, and the team's key players Durant, Wei Shao, and Harden are not vegetarians. Ibaka feels so explosive that if you are a little distracted, you will be stolen in two.

With this amount of time remaining, the Thunder will undoubtedly slow down the pace of the game and prevent the Kings from making quick counterattacks. I'd rather have a 24-second violation than let the king easily send a long pass.

The difference of 52 seconds and 5 minutes does not seem to be a difficult distance to catch up, but the Thunder is a Finals-level team, and the playoff experience is much stronger than that of the Kings, and the tactical execution is not a grade.

In addition to continuing to believe in Gu Yu's singles outburst, what other tricks can we have?

How many times have we faced a desperate situation before, and it wasn't Gu Yu who led us out and went to victory?

Why don't we believe him when it comes to life and death??

“…… Let's just fight! ”

Westphal looked at the players quietly, and began to accept Gu Yu's statement one by one, and his heart was also a lot calmer, and he nodded and said, "But your own words...... Can you get to that low? ”

"You need to cover and take people away, feint and make Harden's defense a little bit looser."

Gu Yu told the truth.

“…… OK。 ”

Westphaal picked up the tactical board: "Then let's run like this, after a while Tyrek takes the ball and walks to the left side, DeMarcus goes to the free throw line to make a move, Francisco and Thorton, you two cross the bottom line, don't rush to the bottom corners on both sides after crossing, remember to open up the strong side space and take away the defenders......"

Half a minute later.

"Beep beep! The game continues! ”

"Whoosh!"

The Sideline Ball was kicked out, and the Kings were quite cautious, facing the Thunder's extremely strong physical contact, and steadily sent the ball to Evans.

"Pull away!"

Evans commanded the attack, although there were still many questions and uneasiness in his heart, but the coach said so, and he could only do it.

"Hold the middle!"

Brooks felt that the victory was in his hands, but he didn't let up, keeping his eyes on Cousins' position. He knows very well that Cousins' position is the starting point of all the Kings' tactics today, and to cut off the Kings' offense, he must control Cousins' movement and vision from the free throw line from the middle......

Well?!!

"Bang......!"

Hitting the ground pass.

Unpretentious movements, Evans looked at Cousins with both eyes, and his hand movements were like passing to the two shooters who were finishing in a cross run on the baseline, but when Garcia came to the ribs and suddenly turned around and ran to the weak side, he sent such a pass.

Who is this for?!!

Brooks was confused and had no idea what medicine was being sold in Evans' gourd.

Cousins didn't move at the free-throw line, Thorton was out of position in the bottom corner of the weak side, and Evans' pass was headed inside and it was obviously impossible to pass to these two guys.

Playing seven games with the Kings, Brooks is about to memorize this tactical run, and the usual practice at this time is to wait for Garcia to come to the bottom corner and then send him a pass. Evans cut into the ribs of the inside line himself, and borrowed a no-ball cover from Gu Yu to the weak side. At the same time, Gu Yu ran back and cut out, and held the ball in the ribs to open the ISO heads-up. Finally, Cousins moved a little to the weaker side and continued to retreat to give more space from mid-range.

In this way, the court space will be divided quite obviously, and there will be no assistant defenders on both sides of Gu Yu, so he can focus on one-on-one Harden. Harden is good defensively, but his feet are slow and he is good at countering and not good at tracking his pace. Gu Yu can use his shooting advantage to mobilize Harden's defensive center of gravity, looking for opportunities to cut or pull up for a jump shot.

But at the moment, Evans' passing route is clearly given to a deep low post. Garcia didn't hesitate at all to turn and run, and it was impossible for him to suddenly stop receiving the ball in the low post - it didn't make any sense for him to catch the ball in that position, did it?

So who is this ball for......?

"Smack"

On the court, the follow-up actions of the Kings players gave Brooks an answer.

“…… Hairstyle brother falls low?!!! ”

On the side of the commentary stage, the two living treasures went crazy in an instant.

To be honest, the design of this running position is quite exciting, and Garcia's sudden reverse run to the weak side has a hint of cutting the back door. If Evans passes the ball to Cousins, Cousins has a chance to send an overhead pass for Garcia to catch the ball and go to the basket.

Therefore, Harden had to retreat a little behind Gu Yu and make a defensive position in the three-second area under the basket to prevent Garcia from receiving the ball smoothly.

Gu Yu took the opportunity to take a big step back, just came to the absolute low position, and received the ball smoothly.

Everything was great, everything was perfect, the tactical execution, the details, there was nothing wrong with this movement.

Here's the problem......

"Will the hairstylist brother play singles in a low position?!!"

Smith can't understand this game anymore, isn't Gu Yu a master of the face frame? Why let him receive the ball in the low post?

In terms of face frames, Gu Yu can also use small skills and footsteps to maneuver with Harden. can fall to the low position, Harden's power advantage, won't he completely have the upper hand? ?

What the hell are the Kings thinking???

"Hoo ......"

After receiving the ball, Gu Yu stepped on one foot in the three-second zone, leaned back with his back, and felt Harden's defensive position.

It's already on top.

There is no problem with Harden's position, although he is asked to go so deep, as a low-post defender, it is already a failing performance. But considering that Gu Yu has never been on the court and has shown that he has the strength of a low-post single, Harden's defensive options are not a problem.

Then it's time to fight for technology.

The clock is quickly turned back to a day ago.

Second training ground.

"Remember, when I singled Garcia, what moves did I use?"

Bernard King asked.

"Hmm...... The back should be placed in the low three-second zone, then turn around and take the middle feint, then turn to the bottom line, and hook the left hand to feint. The first time, here, Garcia was lit up. ”

Gu Yu recalled: "Then you turn back to the middle and score a low-handed layup, and Garcia can't keep up at all." ”

"Uh-huh, what about the second time?"

"The second time, Garcia thought you would use the same routine, and when you took the baseline left-hand hook, one step ahead of you and went directly to the middle lane. As a result, you continue to do a one-footed pivot and turn around to walk the baseline and score a backhand layup. ”

After Gu Yu recalled, he sincerely admired: "In the final offensive choice, you have a lot of means, you judge the situation and adapt to the situation, you play with a time difference, and you have a wonderful back-to-back routine. ”

"Hehe, the analysis is good, but it's wrong."

Bernard King smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "My low post offense, no routine." ”

"Huh......?"

Gu Yu didn't quite understand what the King of New York meant.

"Do whatever you want."

Bernard King held out a finger, his eyes flashing with a strange brilliance that only a scoring maniac can have, and smiled: "If the back moves are too routine, it will be a failure." Because no matter how many routines there are, there are only a few offensive methods, and defenders with enough experience can see through it. ”

"I can understand that most players will follow a certain or certain pattern when attacking in the low post. Combine your physical characteristics, find the most suitable way to shoot, mobilize the defense, and do a little bit of improvisation when you make the last shot, and score a goal. But this kind of low-post offense works well in the regular season, and in the playoffs, an opponent plays seven games with you, and the same player plays against you for more than ten hours, and the fool knows how you like to play. ”

"And I don't have a set routine, I can attack as I want. Garcia was shaken because he thought I had a routine. I can say that if I hit the low post 10,000 times, I will use 10,000 different so-called 'routines' in front of him. Therefore, in this world, there is no invincible routine, if you have to say that there is, there is only one ......"

Bernard King continues:

"That's that there are no routines."

Continuing at the end of the previous chapter, why do I feel a bit flirtatious for LeBron?

Because on the defensive end, IT is easy to target, and of course Irving is too, but he still has the height and weight to support him. The Cavaliers' biggest imaginary enemy is still undoubtedly the Warriors, and the most terrifying thing for the Warriors is Curry and Durant's blocking. After the block, Durant singled IT ......? This picture is a bit ......

Again, I love IT very much, because he has the shadow of Iverson on him, and the brothers who know me well know that I am an Iverson fan......

I just like it, I have to face up to my flaws, and no matter how much I like Iverson, I have to admit his weaknesses on the defensive end, and the same goes for IT.
