Chapter 299: A truce
In the next few days, Lei Shui focused on scattered low-intensity training, and went to the hospital for ultra-low temperature cold therapy recovery after training every day.
The so-called ultra-low temperature cold therapy is to briefly enter a freezer, the temperature inside will reach more than minus 150 degrees, which is very helpful for the recovery of muscles, after two days of adjustment, Lei Shui gradually recovered to the previous level in training, and with the help of the trainer, began to train more skills to get rid of defense, in order to reduce the consumption of physical energy.
In the first game after Thanksgiving, it was the Pelicans who faced him, and although Lei Shui told Old Man Bobo that he had adjusted his condition well, Old Man Bobo still hoped that Lei Shui could rest for two more days, and still put him on the injury watch list.
Although he didn't play, according to the rules, he still had to sit on the bench in a suit and cheer for his teammates.
In this game, the Spurs started center Gasol, power forward Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Green, and point guard Parker.
The Pelicans started with center Asik, power forward Davis, small forward Cunningham, point guard Moore, and point guard Frazier.
At the beginning of this game, the focus of both teams was on defense, so the offensive efficiency was not high, but the Spurs, who are known for their wear-resistant, slowly grasped the advantage in this situation.
The Pelicans hurriedly adjusted, and Davis, the thick-eyebrow brother, carried the offensive banner, took advantage of his talent, and played a wave of 8-0 with a pass, directly overtaking and leading by 4 points.
Old man Bobo hurriedly adjusted his strategy and replaced Bertans, who had three-point offensive ability, to contain Davis, which had a certain effect, and the difference was always controlled at a gap of about 3 points.
In the second quarter, after the two sides changed from defense-oriented to offense-oriented, Mills got the opportunity to score 5 points in a row to overtake the score, but due to the injury to Ginobili, Thunder Water is in the adjustment period, the Spurs' bench rotation is limited to a certain extent, Mills is okay for a while, once he is targeted by defense, Mills's height injury cannot be changed, and after two consecutive misses, the Pelicans regain the lead.
Davis played strongly, and when he came back from the break, he continued to score points, Davis was too comprehensive, and the Spurs failed to limit him by several people on the inside line, and on the defensive end, Davis's basket made the Spurs return several times in vain, and under the leadership of Davis, the Pelicans' scoring efficiency began to rise, and gradually opened the score.
Old man Bobo once again used Belstein to attract Davis out of the interior, but Davis was unmoved, although Bertans had a lot of vacant opportunities on the outside, but the Pelicans' scoring efficiency was higher than him, so the Pelicans used the outside rotation defense to interfere, that is, not to let the Spurs turn the offensive point to the basket.
At halftime, the Pelicans led the Spurs by 8 points, the key problem of the Spurs was that the interior defense was not good, Ade was not a defensive inside, Gasol's pace could not keep up with Davis, and David Lee's height was limited, these disadvantages made Davis score 25 points efficiently in the half and had 7 rebounds.
Old man Bobo took measures to contain Davis in the second half in order to limit him, but Davis is a person who has played point guard, and it is said that he, like Garnett, is a player who can play all positions on the court, and his passing ability is also very good.
Sure enough, Davis, who was trapped, began to pass the ball, constantly assisting his teammates to score.
Although the old man Bobo has played the lineup to the extreme, but Davis's personal talent is difficult to limit after all, the defense is hopeless, and he can only start from the offensive side, so the two sides started an offensive battle, Leonard and Ade also put their main energy on the offensive end, although the efficiency is not bad, but the Pelicans are also-for-tat, and the key is the bench, the Spurs' player talent is also slightly inferior, the Pelicans have the little prince Jones and the all-round point guard Holiday on the bench, which can ensure a good output, The Spurs' bench is a bit stretched and difficult to stalemate with the Pelicans.
Under the suppression of all-round talent, the Pelicans have maintained the advantage accumulated in the early stage until the last moment, and the old man Bobo saw that there was no hope of winning, so he took the initiative to withdraw the main force and give up the game, and the Spurs lost the game 110-123 Pelicans.
Thick eyebrows brother Davis cut 48 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks of super data, and the Spurs' two interior starters Gasol and Ade combined only scored a total of 31 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, it can be said that Davis alone blew up the Spurs' interior line, although Leonard also scored 28 points, but after all, it is difficult to support alone, and it can't stop the Pelicans from blooming everywhere.
After the game, Old Man Bobo didn't have too much dissatisfaction, but put the tactical study of the Pelicans on the work schedule of the coaching staff, after all, there are still 3 encounters in the future, and Davis can't be allowed to play so gorgeously again.
In this game, Old Man Bobo knew that the lack of the main force and the main substitute force had a great impact on the team, especially the defense of Lei Shui, if there was Lei Shui, the defensive coverage would be further expanded, and the defensive effect on Davis would not be so vulnerable.
In the interval between training on the second day, Old Man Bobo found Lei Shui and said, "Lei, I see that you are recovering well, it's time for you to return to the court to play, and I will send you to play tomorrow against the King." ”
Lei Shui was also a little impatient: "I've been ready for a long time, tomorrow it's McClymer who will face me..."
"Or maybe Barnes!" Old man Bobo said.
Barnes is a well-known villain player, the defense has always dared to fight and grab, very tough, Lei Shui twisted his neck and clicked: "It's a hard stubble when you come back, it's okay, try the results of the past few days of training." ”
Old man Bobo suddenly rolled his eyes: "Lei, you start playing from the bench tomorrow, after Manu is injured, someone still needs to stand up at the bench time, and you will play Manu according to the tactics I gave you during that time." ”
Although it is a substitute, it is not easy to play the position of Ginobili, the old man Bobo asked Lei Shui to play, that is very trusting of Lei Shui, Lei Shui nodded: "I hope I can complete the task well." ”
Old man Bobo said to Lei Shuichong, who was sitting on the sidelines playing with Ginobilinu: "Now go talk to Manu and see what kind of advice he will give you." ”
Ginobili has a leg injury so he can only sit and practice dribbling, very boring, Lei Shui came over and said that he was going to play the sixth man tomorrow, Ginobili immediately squinted his eyes and raised his head and said: "Ah, my position, then you have to master the rhythm, this is not an easy thing..."
"Yes, yes, does Uncle Manu have any experience to impart?" Lei Shui immediately lowered his body and humbly asked for advice.
Manu straightened up and pretended to be a deep thunder water and beckoned: "Come here, give you a little advice..."
The next day, the Kings visited, the Spurs' last back-to-back home opponent, and similarly, the Kings had a strong interior player — Big Cousin Cousins.
