In the final moments of the game against the Rockets after the trade deadline, Tang Shuai considered finding someone to play a free throw bag, but in the end, he didn't think it could be implemented immediately. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the wave. Povic, an old man who is more cunning than a fox, actually noticed this in the game, or perhaps it was premeditated, and even sent Tang Shuai to the free throw line several times in a row.

Such a move immediately caused a wave of agitation among the home fans, who slashed the defenders during the game, which is absolutely rare in NBA games.

But it worked.

If Harden is the most famous "porcelain king" in the league, then Tang Shuai is just the complete opposite, he is the player with the fewest free throws among the guards in the league who played more than 30 minutes and averaged more than 10 shots per game.

On the one hand, it is because of his high shooting percentage, and on the other hand, he rarely uses his body to hit hard, so the number of fouls is naturally less.

That's why in most games, he often takes thirty or forty shots, hits more than half of them, and doesn't score more than 50 points very often.

It is precisely because of the few free throws, relying on his strong psychological quality, that he has a good grasp of fewer free throw opportunities.

But the free throw, once the amount is large, the level will naturally be reflected.

The green skill package has a free throw shooting rate of only about 6 percent.

When the wave. After Povic sent Tang Shuai to the free-throw line four times in a row, and he only hit four of them, the veteran coach finally discovered a problem that seemed ridiculous, but very real.

Letting Tang Shuai go to the free throw is more effective than letting him shoot in the game!

Tang Shuai took a deep breath, this was his 10th free throw of the game.

"Bang!"

The free throws bounced out of the basket again, and the rebound was snatched up by Aldridge.

He shook his head in annoyance, then turned to look at Bo in frustration. Povich really scolded the most ruthless old man in the league several times.

On the Spurs' offense, Aldridge hit Knoll with his back and turned around and leaned back to score another 2 points for the Spurs.

After this goal, the Spurs have stretched the score to six points.

And in the next second, Mills rushed to Tang Shuai and pulled it again.

The referee's whistle sounded.

After the referee signaled a foul to the technical table, Tang Shuai once again walked to the free throw line.

Tang Shuai's whole expression was crying and laughing, he really didn't expect that he would really encounter the day when he was cut down.

Billups frowned for the first time.

Nine times out of ten, the Lakers' offense revolves around Tang Shuai, and it is obviously unrealistic to replace Tang Shuai on the court, but at this time, it seems that he has to be replaced again.

After Tang Shuai missed the first goal, he got up and waved to Stephenson, signaling him to come on the field to replace Tang Shuai.

The second penalty went in, and Tang Shuai was also substituted.

When Tang Shuai was gone, Billups went up to comfort him, but in fact he was a little broken in his heart.

When he was with the Clippers, Tang Shuai didn't know how good free throws he had, but what he didn't expect was that when other skills were improving so fast, free throws would still be so bad.

Tang Shuai sat on the sidelines, watching the Spurs play an offensive climax, pulling the score apart little by little, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his face vigorously.

This time, I didn't just stop thinking, but I was forced to do it.

But after really getting to this point, he was relieved.

He looked up at Batum and Mike Dermott on the court, the only two players on the team to have a high-level free throw bag, both of whom were normal versions of the purple basketball bag.

Because he got the sweetness from the weakened version of the skill pack that could be upgraded, he originally aimed for the weakened version of the purple penalty pack, but now he has no choice.

After comparing it, he felt that it was better to find Batum to pack.

After making up his mind, he then turned his head to look at Deng beside him, the master who had degenerated into a weakened version of the blue skill pack, was the master of his transition.

He just needs to find a chance to get the two people together, and then pack them together, that is, upgrade to the purple bag at one time, and this problem will be solved.

106-96, the Spurs relied on slashing tactics to successfully end the Lakers' four-game winning streak.

Tang Shuai made 20 free throws in the game, but only hit 10 of them, and these 10 points were just enough for the difference between the two sides.

Winning or losing a game doesn't matter for a long season, but the problems exposed by this game are dangerous.

After the game against the Spurs, the Lakers boarded a plane to Chicago the next day, where they will meet the Bulls for the second time of the season and their final meeting of the season.

Tang Shuai originally planned to pack at the end of the half-day training, but perhaps to relax the players, after arriving in Chicago, Billups did not arrange training in the afternoon, but took them to Chicago's famous Lincoln Park to play.

Lincoln Park is the largest park in Chicago, most of the attractions are free, and the arrival of the Lakers caused quite a stir, in addition to playing and relaxing, the interaction with fans has also become an important part of it.

And with this activity, Tang Shuai's idea of packing was also postponed.

On the night of the 5th, the Lakers visited Chicago to challenge the Bulls.

Before the trade deadline, in addition to trading with the Lakers, the Bulls also sent Ty Gibson from the interior in exchange for Kover from the Hawks. A future first-round pick is also a powerful addition to the team's outside three-point capabilities.

At the beginning of the game, with the cooperation of his teammates, Tang Shuai continued the hot form of the previous game, and the Lakers also took the lead at the beginning, and they led 15-9 at the end of the half-quarter.

And it was at this time that Hojberg learned from the waves. Povic's routine even began to use the tactic of cutting Tang Shuai.

After being cut three times in a row, there was a ridiculous scene on the scene, Tang Shuai used his speed to run in the half, not to attack, but just to avoid the Bulls' foul.

But it did work, and the Bulls slowly tied the score.

Billups had to replace Don Shuai early.

The commentator at the scene also couldn't laugh or cry: "I think this is the first outside superstar in history to be replaced because he was cut, which is really incredible." ”

Tang Shuai also kept shaking his head off the field.

But maybe it was Billups who let the players relax and relax, and after Tang Shuai got off the field, they didn't play badly, and they actually bit the score.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Billups replaced Tang Shuai on the court again, and at this time, Hojberg did it more simply and cut it directly.

He seemed to have grabbed the Lakers' life and tried to hit it to the end.

Billups seemed calm at this time, and simply didn't replace him, even if the difference was widened a little, he didn't move.

Although Hojberg is a famous university coach, he is more than Bo in terms of level, especially the level of use of slashing tactics. Povich is still a lot worse.

Because of the premature slashing, the cumulative number of fouls on the Bulls team soon reached 4, and the number of fouls by the main players like Wade and Lopez also followed.

Only a third of the way through the second quarter, he had to replace his main players early and rest early, ready to use role players to continue to cut people.

Billups was also ruthless enough, and when he saw Hojberg replace him as a role player, he also replaced Tang Shuai.

In this way, the Lakers quickly pulled the advantage back.

And once Hojberg replaced the main force, he replaced Tang Shuai without saying a word.

Unlike substitutions in football, there is no limit to the number of substitutions in basketball, and Hojberg really can't help it.

In the end, he was honest and didn't foul anymore, and the two sides started to play normally, and the Lakers finally won the game 98-94.

The win was gratifying, but Tang Shuai's free throws were still a bit dismal, he only hit five of his 12 free throws, and if it wasn't for Hojborg's rush, the game might have to be accounted for again.

The good news is that the team will have two days off after back-to-back games, and he finally has a chance to upgrade this free throw package.

In the locker room after the game, because of the win, the players talked and laughed, and Tang Shuai was also discussing with Deng and Batum about making an appointment to practice together after training tomorrow.

He flipped his wrist from time to time, and in the first half of the game, the Bulls players chased him for a foul, because of the slippage under his feet, he accidentally fell off the court, and his wrist was crushed, and there were some slight sprains.

"Don, there's someone looking for you outside." Just then, Grant leaned into the door and shouted.

A trace of doubt flashed in Tang Shuai's eyes, Mike Dermott spent two seasons with the Bulls, and had a good friendship with many Bulls players, and returned to Chicago for the first time at this time, after the game, he stayed in the away locker room for a while before going to the Bulls locker room, and Grant also went with him.

Still, he stood up and walked outside, confused.

When he walked out of the locker room, he saw the person standing next to Grant who was none other than Calderon, the Bulls' backup point guard.

"Hey, Don." Calderón greeted.

Calderón, Spain's main point guard, China and Spain have played many times in the Olympic Games, Tang Shuai knows him, but the two are in the league, at most, they have played each other, and they have never been teammates, far from the point of post-game communication.

"Hey, Carl, nice to meet you, you're looking for me?" Tang Shuai said suspiciously.

"Your wrist, are you alright?" Calderon asked with concern.

My wrist? Tang Shuai reacted immediately, as if the time he fell, Calderon was chasing him, if memory serves, the two should have fallen out together at that time.

"Well, it's not too much of a problem, it should be fine in two days." Tang Shuai waved his other hand to signal that he was fine.

"Doug (referring to Mike Dermott) said on my side that you're not doing well, so I'll come over and take a look." Calderón explained.

Tang Shuai suddenly realized, it turned out that Mike DeMott said it in the past, and it was normal to think about it, he had been moving his wrist since the end of the game, and Mike DeMott mostly saw it, and it was normal to mention it in passing. (To be continued.) )
