Chapter 66: The Verge
~
Relative to the frustration of the players, the coaching staff acted as if nothing had happened, except to encourage the players, and the rest was to do what to do.
This is not to say that they are not confident in victory, but they are used to seeing the sudden changes in the situation on the field, and they have seen many victories and failures, so they don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place.
There are seven games in the series, and they have already won two of the three games, so what else is there to worry about?
The Clippers won one game, but it was just a big score of 2:1. As long as the team plays properly, they can win the game sooner or later, and now is not the time to be frustrated, the most important thing is to develop the right strategy, analyze the weaknesses of the Clippers, and play to their strengths.
After the game on the 12th, the Pelicans stayed at a hotel not far from the Staples Center arena to rest. Racing all season has exhausted their bodies, so it's a good time to take a break between races.
Of course, it's a waste to finally come to the second largest city in the United States, and not to have a good time. There are players on the Pelicans team who want to go out and play, after all, the City of Angels is far more prosperous than New Orleans, and Aminu and Gordon are ready to go out. However, the coaching staff stopped the pointless wandering, trapping the players in the hotel and resting for the next game against the Clippers.
"The One, can you not play this game, it's too bullying!" In Yang Yi's room, Gordon's handles complained to Yang Yi.
He was forbidden to go out to wander, so he came to Yang Yi's room to pester the fat man to play 2k together, and the players chosen by the two were all themselves. But Yang Yi chose to fight backs every time he was heads-up, and Gordon couldn't bear it at all, just once or twice, and every time it was like this, it made Gordon angry.
The problem is that Yang Yi's back-to-back attributes are higher than most of the league's insiders, and if he goes head-to-head, his back-to-back play is completely crushing Gordon's existence, which makes Gordon very angry.
To be honest, everyone was not in a good mood after losing the last game, and it was to relax when they came to play 2k, but Yang Yi came again like this, and Gordon's nose was crooked.
"Eric, let's not play and rely on playing, how about comparing three points." Yang Yi proposed.
In fact, he has already made Gordon a lot, you must know that he was a 2k enthusiast before he got the system, although there was no role for him at that time, but he operated Deron Williams is superb, and now it is not a piece of cake to choose himself with more powerful attributes to deal with Gordon!
"Alas, it's boring to stop playing." Gordon shook the handle and walked out in style. The Gordon attribute he operated was 108,000 miles different from Yang Yi, and his skills in playing games were not as skilled as Yang Yi, so he originally wanted to take the opportunity to abuse Yang Yi, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate. Therefore, no matter what Yang Yi said, he just didn't stay and play together.
"You can pick any player, like Kobe Bryant or something!" Just as Gordon was about to walk out of the room, Yang said loudly.
Gordon didn't say anything, but waved his hand behind Yang's back and strode out of the room. At this moment, his heart was broken, he originally thought that Yang Yi was a rookie, but he didn't expect to encounter the ultimate boss.
Gordon left, Yang Yi was not interesting alone, so he simply closed the game, lay on the bed to rest, and by the way thought about the gains and losses since this season.
Losing one game or two is nothing, the most important thing is to be able to sum up the gains and losses after the loss, so that you can keep improving. Before the system was upgraded, he could draw different skills by lottery to make the opponent unable to figure out the reality, but now he can only rely on himself after there is no lottery. Anyway, there are only a few skills, the key is to rely on on-the-spot play, how to judge the gains and losses, and think about the victory or defeat is a problem worth considering.
He combed through his own strength and the strength of his teammates, and then judged the strength of the Clippers, replaying the previous losing scene in his mind. Thinking about it, but I fell asleep unconsciously.
When he woke up, it was already late in the evening, he only felt refreshed, and after eating something, he returned to his room, closed the door and quickly entered the system training.
On May 14, Game 4 of the Pelicans-Clippers was held at the Staples Center, the home of the Clippers.
In the last game, the Clippers players beat the Pelicans by 18 points one after another, which made the Clippers fans excited, and the Staples Center was crowded in this game. All in all, the Clippers' victory made it hard to get tickets.
Clippers fans are proud to beat the Pelicans at home, their old rivals Lakers were swept by the Pelicans, and the team they championed was a home win over the league's youth army.
Clippers fans are confident that the home team can beat the Pelicans again, and the players are also very steady, and their shooting is consistent during the warm-up. However, the Pelicans were not to be outdone, the loss in the last game made them very unhappy, saying that they would end the game in Los Angeles, but they lost the game because of the opponent's explosive seed. Their morale also came back after a day of rest, and at least for now, the shooting percentage was solid in the warm-up.
"Chris, stop struggling, wouldn't it be nice to go on vacation happily? Why fight so hard in the playoffs! As the two teams were about to jump the ball, Yang Yi smiled as he passed by Paul.
Paul glanced at the fat man, he didn't know if this was the fat man's agitation method or the fat man really had this strength, 3 was a gentle man, and he never showed his thoughts on his face. He didn't want some people to show off their strength after getting a sudden ability.
Seeing that Paul ignored him and walked straight over, Yang Yi was not angry, he was telling the truth. Believe it or not, Paul won the game, no matter how much it cost.
If they don't get the match point first, the next game will be difficult to play, and they will have to spend more energy than the Clippers before to cope with the next series.
You must know that the big score of the two teams is now 2:1, and the Pelicans are one game ahead, and if the Clippers are allowed to tie the game, the Pelicans' morale will definitely be strongly impacted. Not to mention that the Pelicans are regular season champions or something, the regular season and the playoffs are completely two different copies, and the results and difficulty of each pursuit are different, how many regular season champions can't make it to the Western Conference finals? The alliance has been established for so long, if not fifty, there are thirty!
Besides, the Pelicans can only be regarded as a rookie in the playoffs, they have not received the cruel baptism of the playoffs at all, and their mentality is also unstable, and it is easy for one to fall if he is not careful.
Winning this game will make the Pelicans' playoff path less bumpy.
The two sides are ready to jump the ball, and the fourth game is on the verge of breaking off!
