Chapter 702: It's Not a Multiple Choice Question
After Redick finished speaking, the others fell into deep thought. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's the right idea, but what if we still can't limit Don and Don also uses individual scoring to help the team win?" Noah followed.
"yes, we could all feel in the first half that Don's offensive success rate was significantly higher than that of his teammates." Ross chimed in.
"Then let's consider ourselves unlucky." Without waiting for Redick to explain, Hornacek said directly, "Don is just a player after all, he will have a lack of physical strength, he will also lose his hot touch, if you can't defend well, then change the game according to the way JJ said, and the way you are best at it." ”
After he finished speaking, the rest of the Knicks team nodded one after another, and indeed, that was the only thing they could do in the second half.
Unlike the slightly dignified atmosphere in the Knicks' locker room, the Lakers were very happy, and Tang Shuai scored 39 points in the first half, breaking the 60-point scoring record seems to be a sure thing.
Tang Shuai himself seems more calm, although his strength has improved a lot compared to before, but he believes that the Knicks players, including Hornacek, will not be willing to have a new record born on this night.
Returning in the second half, Hornacek replaced Evans with Redick and the team played the attacking card.
This change made the fans at the scene a little incomprehensible, but after the Knicks' consecutive scores closed the score, they finally understood that Hornacek was going to replace defense with offense.
Redick is much weaker than Evans in terms of single defense ability, but in terms of understanding Tang Shuai, it is obviously completely different, and he can be said to know some of Tang Shuai's offensive habits.
And the change brought about by this subtle detail is that Tang Shuai's offensive success rate has decreased.
After half a quarter of the third quarter, he only made 3 of 7 shots in this quarter, and the offensive efficiency dropped significantly, and the Knicks also took the opportunity to chase the score to 70 draws.
In fact, it is normal for Tang Shuai's hit rate to decline, first of all, Redick's familiarity with him makes it easy for him to encounter "high-intensity defense" when he shoots, such as he turns around and leans back, Redick tries to pull out the ball in a targeted manner, you really can't ignore it, and once you dodge, the action will be a little deformed, and the accuracy will naturally come down, you must know that even if it is an exclusive skill package, under this defensive intensity, his hit rate is only more than fifty percent.
Seeing the strategy work, the Knicks players were extraordinarily engaged on the court, and their enthusiasm increased significantly compared to the first half, and the ensuing effect was that they played more engaged on the offensive end, which was like a snowball, and they were anti-friendly in this quarter, and by the end of the third quarter, they were leading 84-80.
In this quarter, Tang Shuai only hit 4 of 10 shots, and did not make a single free throw, scoring only 8 points in a single quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Knicks won the bet, and they successfully limited Tang Shuai's play by attacking instead of defending, and the problem was then thrown to Tang Shuai and the Lakers.
In the end, it is to continue to score high scores, but to win the game and reduce the number of shots Tang Shuai, which seems to have become a multiple-choice question as Redick said.
Tang Shuai sat on the bench thoughtfully, and was also thinking about how to play in the fourth quarter.
"Don, it's not a multiple-choice question." Gasol sat next to him and turned to speak.
"Huh?" Tang Shuai looked at him suspiciously.
"I know you must be thinking that your hand has dropped now, should you assist your teammates more?" Gasol asked.
A look of surprise flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes, and he nodded.
"Actually, it's not right for you to do this, other people don't shoot or score much in the whole game, can you expect us to play more consistently than you? It's a pretty obvious thing. ”
Gasol's words touched Tang Shuai for a while.
"Go attack the basket, I know you made a lot of progress in the free throw shooting last season, and I believe that with your strength, it is not difficult to break through to the basket, the closer you get to the basket, the higher the success rate, I think, even if it is you now, it is applicable." Gasol finished his sentence in one breath.
After Tang Shuai listened, he suddenly had a feeling of epiphany, yes, he didn't expect such a simple truth.
Actually, this is not a multiple-choice question, even if he doesn't have an exclusive breakout pack, but he just hit a throw-up pack, and attacking the basket, which is something he's been doing for the past few seasons, and he has the ability to do it.
He really jumped into the pit dug by the Knicks, in fact, it would be nice to go around it directly from the side!
"Thank you, Paul." Tang Shuai said to Gasol from the bottom of his heart.
Gasol smiled and didn't speak, just patted him on the shoulder and said the most insipid words: "Come on." ”
Tang Shuai nodded, then stood up.
At this time, the long whistle on the sidelines just remembered that the fourth quarter of the game between the two sides officially began.
In the final quarter, Billups sent Don Shuai on the court at the beginning.
This is also a signal to the Knicks and fans that I am going to let Tang Shuai break the record.
Regarding Billups' choice, Hornacek seemed calm, and did not put the main force on the court, but just replaced Anthony and played one-on-one with you directly.
The first offense in the fourth quarter, because Noll jumped to win Noah, and this quarter was the Lakers' first attack.
Tang Shuai advanced to the front court with the ball, and did not choose to pull up after the breakthrough as before, but directly called Gasol to make a block near the free throw line, and then took the opportunity to kill the inside line, facing O'Quinne's defense and throwing a shot after turning the top on the spot.
O'Quinn was five big and three rough, and seeing that he had no chance to defend himself, he directly slapped Tang Shuai's hand, destroying his attack.
The shooting action had already come out when he was beaten, and Tang Shuai got two free throws.
Walked to the free throw line and hit two free throws steadily, Tang Shuai increased his personal score to 49 points.
On the Knicks' offense, Anthony hit Halix with his back in the low post, slipped the baseline with a beautiful turn, and scored a direct backhand dunk, which attracted a burst of cheers from the fans.
Looking back, Tang Shuai rushed to the basket again, and O'Quinn still wanted to block it, but he paid for another foul.
Parker used the throwing bag so well that it was obviously not so easy to prevent it.
When O'Quinn was substituted and looked annoyed, Tang Shuai hit two free throws from the free throw line to improve his personal score to 51 points.
The fans at the scene fell into a burst of restlessness, and after a quiet quarter, Tang Shuai seemed to have found a new way to score.
Hornacek reacted quickly when he saw this scene, and directly replaced all the starters on the field, seemingly determined not to let Tang Shuai break this record.
A shot from the Knicks, Redick's three-point shot, helped the Knicks pull away again.
Looking back, Tang Shuai encountered Redick's oppressive defense after holding the ball, and this former teammate directly became the most difficult opponent.
Tang Shuai motioned to his teammates to pull away, didn't think too much about it, firmly protected the ball, and pushed it directly inside, and then turned around and rushed to the basket like oil on the soles of his feet.
Redick originally wanted to withdraw his strength, but Tang Shuai's back play technique was upgraded in the offseason, and his prediction was skewed, and Tang Shuai turned to the basket.
Noah under the basket interferes with the start.
Tang Shuai directly turned and leaned back, avoiding Noah's defense and then scoring the ball steadily.
53 points, Tang Shuai's score began to rise again.
Hornacek reached out on the sidelines and shook his head.
Redick's strategy, after a successful section, suddenly became ineffective again.
In fact, just like Tang Shuai's shooting percentage in the third quarter, this is also a fairly normal thing, an excellent scorer with rich offensive means, like Jordan and Kobe, is unlikely to be limited for the whole game.
Tang Shuai constantly breaks through the basket to make kills, this way of scoring makes the Knicks seem helpless, Noah and O'Quinn are the kind of tonnage inside, natural disadvantages in speed, not to mention Tang Shuai's brilliant small throw.
After struggling for nearly half a quarter, Hornacek and his Knicks finally realized they couldn't dodge tonight.
The Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai dribbled on the outside with the ball.
It was a simple offensive round, but at the moment there was a lot of agitation.
Because before this, Tang Shuai had already won the scoring record of his career, and there were still more than 4 minutes before the end of the game, and this goal is likely to tie or break Anthony's previous record of 62 points set in 2014.
Tang Shuai was pressing the rhythm, and the Knicks players were a little nervous, although they knew that being nailed to the background wall was inevitable, but they always hoped that this moment would come later.
The Lakers players have completely pulled away at this time, and it is clear that they want to give Tang Shuai the opportunity to create this new record.
Tang Shuai lowered his center of gravity, took a deep breath, and after a cross-step shaking, he faced Redick's defense and rushed directly to the basket.
Redick tried to steal with his right hand, and he knew that Tang Shuai liked to go to the right side.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that Tang Shuai's right hand was changed to his left hand, and he directly chose to go to the left.
This time on purpose!
After being disturbed for so long, Tang Shuai deliberately chose the side he was not used to, although it was not as smooth as the right side, but he successfully deceived Reddick.
After owning a positional breakaway, he quickly hit the three-second zone.
Noah under the basket pounced with a fierce face at this time, and he would never give him an easy chance to shoot.
Although Redick behind him was squeezed through, he was also in hot pursuit, and he would not let him shoot easily.
In the case of being surrounded by successive front and back, Tang Shuai had no good chance to pass the ball, he held his breath, made a sudden stop, and waited for the moment when Noah came up, jumped directly to the side, and then threw a throw.
"Smack!"
Redick jumped up from behind and hit Tang Shuai's hand.
However, although the ball hit, it did not stop Tang Shuai's shot, and the basketball fell straight towards the net bag after crossing a small parabola. (To be continued.) )
