Chapter 763: Recovery!
"Good...... What a clever calculation! ”
Courtside, media gallery.
It was time for the half-time break, and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room to rest for a brutal second half.
The score of the two sides, after continuous back and forth of wide opening and closing, ended at halftime and was fixed at 67-65.
Kings, leading on the road.
"I see, I really didn't expect it at all!" At the media table, many reporters are staring at their mobile phones, reading an article, and at the same time looking back from time to time, with extremely reverent eyes, looking at the Oriental beauty who is struggling to write a book and typing a manuscript not far away.
Xiao Yu.
"I see, I see, I see, it's ......" A local reporter in Oklahoma was stunned for a while, and finally finished reading the whole article, and immediately raised his head and gave a thumbs up to Xiao Yu: "Beauty, I really didn't see it, you have such a deep understanding of basketball tactics, admire!" ”
"Nonsense, you don't, if you want to talk about the level of understanding of basketball tactics, in our entire media circle, I am afraid that the only one who can be compared with Xiao Yu is the royal reporter Justin in Philadelphia!" Another reporter was obviously more knowledgeable, and said with a smile: "Both of them are cronies of their respective team leaders, and they can walk into the scene of team training, private practice, and tactical arrangement meetings." If you wanted to get into the Thunder's tactical meeting, guess what? Security won't knock you out! ”
"Yes, yes, human conditions are unique, can we compare?" Some people felt sour in their hearts and whispered, sounding like they were praising Xiao Yu, but anyone with a discerning eye could hear that this was actually secretly expressing dissatisfaction.
"Don't be sour, won't you? People have the ability to become the cronies of the players, and that is also the ability of others! Someone immediately stood up and took the initiative to help Xiao Yu speak, his eyes looked up and down on the sour reporter, and said disdainfully: "What about you?" What can you accomplish with just that little bit of lip service? If you have time to be sour here, you might as well hurry up and improve your business level! ”
"It's just ......"
Although there is some hypocrisy in the media circle, there are more people with a sense of justice, and everyone scolded the sour reporter, and the person who scolded didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to hurriedly apologize to Xiaoyu.
"Haha, it's okay." Xiao Yu didn't raise his head, and continued to write: "Everyone must be a little quiet, I still have a little bit here to finish this report, I'll tell you later!" ”
What a dedication......!
Looking at Xiao Yu's indignant appearance, the other reporters at the scene were also embarrassed. Compare yourself, after so many years, I am still making some leftovers and lace reports, when will I really break into the team and get first-hand information?
Looking at the reports that Xiao Yu has published, even if there is internal information, how many people have the confidence to explain such complex tactics clearly in such a short period of time?
At the same time, the locker room.
"Cousin, what are you doing?? Why did you let Xiao Yu know?? ”
Looking at the mobile phone, Wei Shao's anger was not to fight anywhere, and he pointed to the mobile phone screen and said: "Look at it, our tactical ideas have been all reported by her, this is good, if the opposite Thunder formulates the tactics for the second half according to her report, we will be passive!" ”
"Come on, you, where do I have the opportunity to communicate with Xiaoyu? Just the way you played in the first half, where do I have time to rest! Gu Yu choked back: "What else do you say?" Xiao Yu reported our tactics? Let me see?? ”
Taking the phone, Gu Yu took a closer look, and also took a deep breath, and in the depths of his heart, he gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up.
She is worthy of the woman I fancied!
The whole report is concise and clear, explaining the somewhat strange tactical rotation of the Kings in the first half from the perspective of the audience, even the most uninitiated fans can understand it.
"The idea of the Thunder team is to use Terrick Evans' familiarity with the Kings' tactics, especially his cousin Gu Yu's style of play, to carry out the assault. Evans is extremely calculating, and he has to judge the Kings' offensive and defensive tactics while running the Thunder's tactics and respond to them in advance. Judging from the effect, that wave of 13 to 2 proved Evans' success. ”
Xiao Yu wrote: "And the Kings didn't find a suitable way to crack it at the beginning, and fell into passivity. It wasn't until that timeout that Coach Phil Jackson, a strong contender for the all-time No. 1 coach, finally gave his answer. ”
That is to change the rotation rhythm and let Gu Yu deal with Evans personally.
What Xiao Yu wrote, of course, the Kings players know in their hearts.
Gu Yu's playing habits, although Evans is clear, but this season's Gu Yu has a super evolution. More back-to-back singles is an area that Evans is completely unfamiliar with.
For the rest of the details of technical changes, Gu Yu, who is paranoid, has been perfecting himself. Evans is familiar with Gu Yu, and his personal talent and physical condition also determine that it is impossible for him to completely seal Gu Yu.
On the contrary, the terrifying single defense ability that Gu Yu has shown this season is something that Evans has not really tried in person. With Gu Yu to keep an eye on Evans, the Thunder's wishful thinking will naturally come to naught.
Originally, according to the Thunder's idea, after the timeout, the Kings would replace the bench. Phil Jackson's habit is to go up five up, five down, Thomas Jr. comes up to play point guard, and the scene must be very miserable against Evans, who is still on the court.
"At this point in time, the Kings disrupted the Thunder's plans. The tactical strategy of the follow-up Thunder throughout the game all failed. ”
Taking Wei Shao's mobile phone, George saw that everyone was interested in this article, so he simply acted as a reader and read it: "Evans is almost full in the first quarter, and when the second quarter starts, it is impossible to stay on the court." The Thunder's backup point guard is Fisher, and speed is his biggest disadvantage. But his strong body and rich experience can play a certain defensive role even in the face of Wei Shao. ”
At this time, the Kings replaced Thomas Jr. Compared with Wei Shao's rampage, Thomas Jr. is also terrifying in speed, and has more accurate projection ability, as well as more bewitching running ideas. Fisher's attempt to catch up with Thomas Jr. is simply unthinkable. With this one in, the Kings extended their lead to as many as 15 points midway through the second quarter. ”
"Hehe, but later, the Thunder played very successfully."
Phil Jackson's voice sounded, and everyone hurriedly put down their phones and looked at the old handsome in unison.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's also a kind of progress to read more articles from media reporters. Especially Xiaoyu's article is very insightful, and it's a good thing to read more. Phil Jackson smiled: "They traded back to Durant early, simply used Evans, started the offense from the inside, and resolutely gave Cousins the ball." Andrew ate two fouls in a row, had three fouls on his back, and was afraid to make moves defensively, and was taken several balls by Cousins. ”
“…… Alas! Bynum dropped the towel.
"Cousins opened it, my cousin had to go in and wrap it, and the outside line was alive again, and Durant began to wield. Here, Paul ...... "The old handsome's eyes swept to George: "Your defense is not strong enough." ”
George was speechless.
That's right, after Cousins turned on, Durant took over the game. George's defense was always half a beat slower, and Durant was able to get about half a step of space from time to time.
Half-step space, for most players, that's not space at all.
But for scoring maniacs like Durant and Gu Yu, half a step is as wide as the ocean.
"Paul, you ...... Do you want to change guards? The old man asked a sharp and direct question.
"I ......" George gritted his teeth, not knowing how to answer.
Let's change it, it must be better for the team, George has a hard time defending Durant, but it's no problem to defend Safrosa or Butler.
Say not to change it, the anger in George's heart can be calmed, after all, they are all athletes, and there is a flame in their hearts, just admit defeat like this, and they are still somewhat unwilling.
To change or not to change, the question ......
"You can't change it."
Without waiting for George to understand, Gu Yu spoke first: "If you change it now, that is Paul admitting defeat." I went to defend Durant, and the effect was definitely good, but it was a tactical compromise, and my morale was down. We might win this game, but what about the next game? Will I always be in the position of Durant? After the Thunder, what about facing Philadelphia? Am I going to guard against Chen Mu? Is it realistic?? ”
Gu Yu's words were direct and sharp, so that not only George, but also the rest of the king players on the scene lowered their heads.
Yes, I always think about it, there is a cousin, there is Gu Yu, there is him in attack, and there is him in defense. If you can't score, give him the ball and he'll take us to victory. If you can't prevent it, give the opponent to him, and he will help us block the opponent's arrow figures.
That's true, but is it really a long-term solution?
Definitely not.
"I also think, don't change." Wei Shao said: "Also, I also hope that in the second half, I can continue to start, and Evans will not be handed over to my cousin, I will defend him." Grandma's, I don't believe I can't prevent it! ”
"Good." Phil Jackson nodded, and his wise eyes fell on George: "Paul, what do you mean?" ”
“…… Don't change! Finally, George raised his head, and a flame rose in his eyes.
Who am I? I'm Paul George!
From the Pacers, no, from the NCAA, even from high school, from junior high school, from elementary school when I first got into basketball, I Paul George, on the basketball court, what kind of enemy hasn't been touched??
Before the injury, LeBron James came, and I did the same, although I lost, but I didn't back down and played my own glory.
Now, just because of the injury, because of the hesitation and fear in my heart, I leave the problem to my teammates and cousin?
Absolutely not!
It's not my Paul George's style, and it's not the Sacramento king's style.
No matter how strong Durant is, he is still a human being, and as long as he is a human being, he will definitely have weaknesses.
I can't guard Durant, so how does my cousin guard him? Recalling carefully, I will definitely find a breakthrough!
"That's fine." Phil Jackson saw that George had begun to recover, and nodded with a smile: "Next, it's the tactical arrangement of the second half......!" ”
