Chapter 499: Mind Reading

Fear from the future!

"Bang Bang Bang"

“HERE!!”

"Whoosh——!!"

Gu Yu was trapped, and the three-person rotation position on the strong side was tactically cracked.

But the Kings' offense didn't mean to stop in the slightest.

"Good shot! Cousins catches the ball with his back!! ”

Quickly transfer the ball, although Gu Yu has not improved in terms of assist data. However, the ability to handle the ball at critical moments has obviously gone up to a higher level.

"Bag Clip !!"

Cousins received the transfer ball from the strong and weak side again, leaned his back, and suppressed Jordan Jr. by half a step.

As soon as Negro's shout sounded, Cousins had already turned around with a heavy shoulder, not giving the Clippers a chance to adjust at all, and opening his hand was a baseline licking basket.

"Huh!"

Middle!!

"Flowing !!"

“YEAAAAAAH——!!”

The Kings' offense is not only extremely decisive and resolute in moving the ball, but they can always put the ball in the hands of the right person before the Clippers make the next defensive adjustment.

And since having Gu Yu, the entire Kings team seems to have changed as a team, from Cousins to Evans, from Garcia to Thornton, from Thomas to Gimmer.

Everyone, the moment they receive the ball, will not hesitate at all, and immediately start to make a quick judgment and make the most suitable offensive choice.

It's a decision!

"In terms of tactical preparation, the Clippers have actually done it to the extreme, but ......"

The on-site commentary was also quite excited, seeing that the home team was about to touch the threshold of the division finals with one hand, all Kings fans around the world seemed to have smelled the breath of the long-lost second round, and even wanted to close their eyes and stay in this moment to enjoy the gorgeous moment when victory was coming and the darkness was about to dissipate.

"Dang!"

THE HOUSE LEAK HAPPENED TO RAIN OVERNIGHT, AND THE CLIPPERS RELIED ON PAUL'S FORCED CARRY AND GRIFFIN'S SPORADIC SINGLES TO FINALLY BITE THE SCORE, BUT AT THE MOST CRITICAL MOMENT IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, THEY BEGAN TO DROP THE CHAIN.

It has almost become the "signature" of the Clippers, dropping the chain at critical moments, and always appears in the team with Paul.

No one would think that Paul's key ball ability is weak. In fact, Paul's ability to handle the ball at critical moments and put the ball in the basket is already historic.

But with Paul, the rest of the players don't seem to be able to play key balls.

"Basket, Basket, Ball, !!"

With a "snap", Cousins picked off the rebound fiercely, jumped high in the air, and while grabbing the rebound with both hands, his eyes were already looking at the frontcourt.

The score gap is 8 points, and as long as this attack is scored, the difference will be stretched to more than 10 points.

At this moment, the psychological pressure brought by a two-digit score difference is completely different from a single digit.

So

“…… Whoosh——!!! ”

Passing the ball at the speed of light!!

"Wings up front! Cousin and Evans are running fast attack! The ball fell to Evans, and the Clippers were in trouble! They don't know who to defend against!! ”

Who is the right person to guard against?!!

Paul and Jordan Jr. were both back in the half, and defensively they were two-on-two, and they didn't suffer.

But the problem is that one Gu Yu is enough to trick two people, and the score is like picking up something. Now add Evans, Sao Paulo and Uncle Liu, who can increase their power by 30% in the transition between offense and defense, and they don't know what to do all of a sudden.

Anti-Evans?

With Evans' vision and passing skills, he will definitely attract the Clippers defense to an unadjustable position at the last moment, send a pass, and assist Gu Yu to score easily.

Prevent Gu Yu?

Wouldn't that just let Evans go and send the latter to score a layup??

We......

"What the hell are we going to do!!"

With the shouts of fans in the Clippers' home stands, Evans changed direction in front of an emergency stop, although the speed was not fast, and the explosiveness was not terrifying, but the rhythm was so good that it exploded.

Tall body, strong body, skillful skills, excellent ball ability, and quite good vision and passing skills......

If it weren't for the big gap in three-point shooting ability, Chris Paul would even have to suspect that the man he was facing was not called Terrick Evans.

It's called Deron Williams.

"Bang ......"

"Defend the !! under the basket"

Evans had already rushed straight to the basket, Paul had to make a choice, and shouted in desperation, reminding little Jordan to keep an eye on Evans and protect the basket, while he rushed to Gu Yu with an arrow, saying that he couldn't give Gu Yu a chance to vacate the spot.

It will definitely be passed on!!

According to his own understanding of Evans, Paul is 99% sure that Evans should not be Jordan Jr., and at this moment, he will definitely choose to pass.

And as long as he passes the ball......

"Whoosh!"

"Cousin——!!!

That's a flank one-on-one!!

"Smack!"

Gu Yu, catch the ball!

“…… One!! All the players in the backfield are still on their way! Paul had to find a way to stop his cousin alone!! ”

Stalling for time!!

The nervousness of the on-site commentator did not affect Paul's mind, his eyes were fixed on every movement of Gu Yu, and Paul could only gamble once.

He can only bet that Gu Yu will not shoot directly.

Because Gu Yu also has a height advantage in the face of Paul, if Gu Yu doesn't care about the direct two-stage jump shot and uses Kobe-style shots, Paul has no way to stop it.

But if Gu Yu hesitated a little and let Paul get completely close, he could only solve the problem by breaking through.

Then Paul, with the confidence to use his speed and explosiveness, stick to Gu Yu and prevent him from making the first move.

Just procrastinate for time.

As long as we delay the time until our teammates come back, we still have a chance to defend this goal!!

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry !!"

On the sidelines, Negro was already in a hurry, eager to go on the field and directly beat the other players with a whip to make them run faster, faster.

As long as all the players return to the halfcourt and don't let the Kings score this offense, we still have a chance to turn the tables!!

This year's king is very strong, and it is not a very shameful thing to be defeated by them.

Although our players look more experienced and have better stars.

But we're also a team that has just been rebuilt and there's still room for a core squad. In this respect, we are the same as the king!

Even, the current core lineup of the Kings has been running in for a little longer than ours. It doesn't matter if you lose this year, as long as you fight back next year!

But just because it's acceptable to lose doesn't mean it's okay to be swept away.

If losing is a failure, then being swept is a humiliation!!

"Don't think about the past!!"

"Bang bang!!"

Paul's gamble was successful, and after a moment of hesitation, Gu Yu really didn't choose the second stage to jump out, and the moment he sat down with his waist and began to dribble, Paul directly used a sticky trick, and the whole person desperately pasted it.

See through his movements.

I've got to see through his every move in this round!!

"Come on!!"

Paul kept roaring, and it was extremely rare that he even began to use words to cheer himself up.

But the next moment

"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"

Through the transparent mask of the characteristic, Gu Yu's slightly dull, but revealing a different kind of murderous breathing sound, came over.

Look at the eyes.

All along, Paul's defense has been pursuing the realm of "mind reading".

Just like his idol Kidd, Paul's defense is also an important part of his dominance across the field.

But Paul's defense, on the one hand, is limited by congenital physical conditions, and he always suffers a little from tall point guards. On the other hand, he is also too entangled in the gains and losses of each round, and even the gains and losses of every action, resulting in his defense looking fierce and a lot of steals, but he can always only limit the opposing players to a certain extent, but cannot affect the overall situation.

In contrast, Kidd's defense is closer to the realm of mind reading.

Body entanglement is one thing, the oppressive force of a strong physique is another, and Kidd's defensive horror is here. Maybe once in a while you feel good and can brush up on his head with pretty good scoring stats. But your tandem organization will be very uncomfortable by him. Even if the assist stats are good, it only affects the "rounds that got assists", and there is no way to affect the overall situation.

The most important difference here is that Kidd is always looking at things from the perspective of the whole game, or even the entire series, both offensively and defensively.

His every decision may not be the most perfect choice at the moment, but it will definitely have some positive effects on his team.

And when these positive effects accumulate, gradually and gradually, you suddenly find that it is pitch black around you, except for your own fun, the rest of your teammates are like wandering spirits, and there is nowhere to use them.

Then you suddenly realize that you are a point guard, and you need to connect the team, organize the offense, and make your team a better team in order to win the battle in front of you.

But at this moment, Kidd will begin to exert his strength.

Steals, fouls, turnovers, forcing you to get into the wrong position, forcing you to make difficult shots, forcing you to make the wrong choices.

That's how the so-called mind-reading defense came about.

It can be said that the greatness of Kidd is that his perspective is close to God's perspective, and he always thinks about problems from a macro perspective.

He doesn't bother with whether a pass will form an assist, he just wants his pass to be guided by the situation, so that his teammates can be more comfortable and more suitable for handling the ball.

He doesn't bother if he misses a steal, he only cares about whether it will affect your team's offensive ambition if you get into this position.

The more you look at these details and the more you play, the more obvious Paul feels.

Now on the Clippers, there is a first-class helper, Paul, who also wants to be a player like Kidd:

A winner.

And Gu Yu, who was standing opposite him, went to the other extreme.

Everything, it depends on the ...... of this round!
