Chapter 417: Packing in advance
Tang Shuai's self-confidence filled his confidence and boosted the morale of the Clippers as a whole, but it failed to bring the team the next victory.
After the Clippers lacked Paul, the offensive strength was greatly reduced, although Smith was good, but the strength was obviously not comparable to Paul, and Tang Shuai failed to pack Pierce last time, the dribble bag has been reduced to blue, and the effect of playing the main point guard for a period is not ideal, plus Griffin has not been injured for a long time, which has greatly reduced the strength of the Clippers.
In the fourth round of the contest between the two sides, Beasley of the Rockets played the role of a wonder soldier, he came off the bench to shoot 9 of 18, contributed 25 points and 7 boards, and Harden also scored 30+ points, under the leadership of the two of them, the Rockets won two consecutive games at home, and the score of the series was rewritten to 2-2.
Once again, the two sides are back on the same page.
After the Rockets' winning streak, the local media in Houston began to hype up the series as a turning of the tide.
Head coach Bickerstaff also regained his confidence, and in an interview with reporters, he said bluntly: "The series is so wonderful, no one thought that we could turn around the decline at home, but we did it, and now we have to show 200 percent of our energy, take advantage of the Clippers have not come to their senses, and solve the game in six games." ”
Solving the game in six games, that's Bickerstaff's confidence, although a little inflated, but he clearly has the confidence to say it.
And the morale of the Clippers plummeted after the loss, and fighting with their backs can motivate the players, but morale is a big hit. And then decline,. Three and so on, two games have passed since Paul's injury. In the next game, it is no longer realistic to rely on the hard work of the players and the morale of the team.
Tang Shuai is also aware of this, and now that Paul is absent, he must find a way to improve his strength.
As soon as he had this thought, the figure of Iverson naturally came to his mind.
The last time I met two people, the relationship can be said to have improved rapidly, and it is definitely a good idea to ask him for guidance at this time.
As soon as he had an idea, he immediately called him, and it happened that Iverson happened to be in Los Angeles, and perhaps it was Paul's injury plus the back-to-back losses. Kassel had only scheduled half a day's training, and he rushed to see Iverson in time for noon.
On the previous date, he went with the attitude of enhancing the relationship, because at that time, the team's playoff situation was still very good, and he was quite tired from training, and he had no energy, and there was no good reason to think about packing things with Iverson.
But now, Paul's injury has taken a turn for the worse in the team's playoff season, and Harden has regained his form. Coupled with Beasley's wonder soldier, you don't have to think about how difficult the next home game will be, even if the timing is not so perfect at this time, the purpose of his appointment this time is to rush to pack.
Iverson in a basketball park in Los Angeles. He drove straight over.
On the way there, there was a little episode, and Duffy called him. He said that the fine that the league was going to issue to him in the last game was cancelled because the referee's report later determined that the killer was a misjudgment. Harden did have a foul before he threw the shot, and the ticket was naturally canceled.
"I knew it. The truth is always in the hands of a few, and now the damn media can shut up! Tang Shuai laughed and scolded, although it has been 2 days since the incident, and although the result of the game is irrevocable, it is still quite refreshing to see the league being slapped in the face by himself.
The two chatted for a while, Tang Shuai's mood was much better, and after hanging up the phone, he parked the car outside the park and went directly into the park.
After looking around the park but not finding Iverson, he then noticed that there were many people gathered around the half of the park center, and from time to time there was an exclamation of exclamation, and he unconsciously walked towards it.
"Cool!" As soon as I walked in, I heard someone shouting excitedly.
Tang Shuai looked inside, and then saw Iverson actually fighting bulls with people, and he also knew the person who fought the bull, it turned out to be the "street ball king" Alstom!
No wonder so many people gathered here, it turned out to be a duel between two masters.
It was at this moment that Iverson used his classic "corssover" past Alston and scored an easy layup, which drew cheers from the crowd of onlookers.
Iverson's ability, when the two of them got together before, Tang Shuai already fully understood.
The exclusive AI.crossover package, the weakened purple exclusive dribble bag, the weakened purple exclusive pull-up jump shot package, just these skill packs he has, if it weren't for the severe decline in physical fitness after getting older, the NBA would still have a place for him.
"Aaron, I lost, and you're in pretty good shape." After Alston was shaken again, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, although Alstom still holds the title of "Street King", his strength has long been much worse than before, in fact, even if he is at the peak, he is far from Iverson's opponent.
"Raff, it's just for fun, don't care." Iverson laughed and patted Alston on the shoulder.
After the two of them glanced at each other, they couldn't help laughing, and after greeting the fans around them, the two walked to the sidelines to rest.
Seeing that everyone was almost scattered, Tang Shuai walked up to the two of them and said hello: "Hey, Aaron, I'm here." ”
"Don? There you are. Iverson saw that it was Tang Shuai, got up and hugged him.
"Hey, Don, good game." Alston also said hello, although the Clippers lost twice in a row, but Tang Shuai scored more than 25 points, and it was no problem to say that it was good.
"Thanks, Raff, you played a good game." After Tang Shuai shook hands with Alstom, he said with a smile.
"Mine?" Alston was puzzled.
"A few months ago, at Rock Park, when I first arrived in the NBA, I saw you play against Dwyane." Tang Shuai followed.
"Oh, you said that." Alston also immediately recalled the game at Rock Park, when he appeared with Wade in anticipation of the fans. The two have also had a head-on confrontation.
After he finished speaking, he thought it was wrong. He looked a little surprised: "You were on the sidelines at that time?" ”
"Yes, I had just arrived in the U.S. at that time. It was before the draft, and I went to New York ahead of schedule, so I naturally had to go to such a well-known place. Tang Shuai followed.
"Haha, I didn't expect time to fly fast." Alston said with emotion.
Tang Shuai nodded with a smile and sat next to the two.
"Don, I saw that the league canceled your ticket, you did a great job, the media. It was a foul ball. Iverson suddenly scolded and said that after getting along more, he didn't deliberately hide his personality anymore.
"I watched it, on the street, it's not a thing, but it's in the NBA, it's not the same place as this street, and the referees obviously forgot the field under their feet." Alston agreed, as a player who entered the NBA from the street court. He was clearly most impressed by this.
Tang Shuai smiled and nodded, it seems that Iverson and Alston are the same as him, they are the few people who have mastered the truth.
"By the way, you said you were coming to me to practice. It's really the right time and the right place. Iverson said and stood up, "Then come on." Don't waste any more precious time. ”
Tang Shuai saw Iverson so simply, and then stood up.
Iverson's best thing is his breakthroughs. It is also known as "corssover", which means cross-step and fast passing people in Chinese. It's a simple technical move, but the simpler the move, the more powerful it becomes when you take it to the extreme.
Tang Shuai tried to play against Iverson, and he soon found that even Iverson is now struggling on the defensive end.
Although Iverson's speed is not as good as before, his judgment of timing is to beat him completely, and it is also an exclusive skill pack, and the drunkard breakthrough pack is like scum in front of this, and there is no comparison.
"To maintain your concentration and want to pass your defenders, in addition to solid dribbling skills, the most important thing you have to learn is to judge the timing, there is no perfect defender, in front of your enough feints, no matter how strong the defense will be, there will be holes." Iverson tirelessly taught Tang Shuai, and he was unruly, but at this moment he seemed to be incarnated as a famous coach.
Tang Shuai listened carefully, as far as breaking through this technology is concerned, Iverson said the first, and it is estimated that no one dares to say the second.
The guidance went quickly, and Tang Shuai's understanding of the breakthrough improved by leaps and bounds.
If it was said that he relied on his ability to master the breakthrough of this end, now that he has this technology, he has a deeper understanding, which is completely qualitative.
When Iverson's guidance was almost over, Tang Shuai naturally proposed a friendly duel.
Interpersonal relationship is the most important part of being a person, take Tang Shuai's current situation as an example, having a packaging system does not mean that he can pack unscrupulously, some people may choose to force the opponent in a hard way, or use the agitation method, but for players with status and prestige like Iverson and Pierce, relying on the previous method will definitely not work, but if the relationship develops normally, a friendship duel is unlikely to be rejected.
Iverson clearly had no reason to refuse Tang Shuai.
Tang Shuai knew that he was struggling to defend against Iverson now, so he didn't care about face or anything, and directly chose to attack first.
Alston saw that the two were about to stage a showdown, and he was also interested, shouting loudly at Tang Shuai, jokingly saying that he wanted him to "avenge" his previous defeat.
At the beginning, Tang Shuai used his own understanding and the drunkard to break through the bag to attack Iverson.
In the first ball, Iverson couldn't keep up with the speed because he was older, and he was passed by Tang Shuai, allowing him to score the first point.
However, soon, Iverson adjusted his defensive posture, and when Tang Shuai wanted to repeat his old tricks for the second ball, he obviously had no chance.
If Tang Shuai had a bad temper and had to prove himself, then Iverson, who was far superior to him in terms of experience and consciousness, would probably have no chance, but Tang Shuai was obviously not such a person, and he clearly knew what his purpose was for Iverson.
So after seeing that there was no hope of a breakthrough, he directly changed his offensive method.
In the second ball, Tang Shuai saw that Iverson's defensive focus was on breaking through, and after dribbling two steps forward, it was followed by a sudden stop-and-go jump shot.
With a "bang", Tang Shuai won the second goal steadily.
When the goal was scored, Iverson and Alston were stunned for a moment, perhaps they didn't expect Tang Shuai to attack in a way other than a breakthrough.
"No, it's not allowed, is it?" Tang Shuai saw the two people who were stunned and asked.
Iverson came back from his stunned stupor, shook his head, and said, "Allowed." ”
Tang Shuai took the ball and started the attack of the third ball.
Iverson's face became serious at this time, originally if Tang Shuai was just breaking through, he was full of confidence, but otherwise, he was really not 100% sure.
Normally, he doesn't care much about this, but today he doesn't know how to get struggling.
Tang Shuai also knew that Iverson would get serious, Iverson didn't know anything, but he knew that the system would force the opponent to play 100% of his existing strength.
Iverson used close defense this time, Tang Shuai had no chance to pull out, he also completely let go, and after leaning on Iverson, he turned and leaned back.
He's more than half a head taller than Iverson, and the back-to-back ball can be said to be dominant at this point.
Truth turns back and the pack is activated.
With a "bang", he leaned back and hit steadily.
The score is 3-0, and with just two more wins, he can get his coveted first-class breakthrough package.
Tang Shuai took a deep breath, dribbled the ball to look for it on the outside, and did not rush to attack, the more he had to be more careful in the end, if he was accidentally defended, then it would be quite difficult for him to face Iverson's attack again.
"Come on, don't hesitate." Iverson couldn't help but clap his hands when he saw that Tang Shuai had been walking outside.
Tang Shuai nodded, seeing the opportunity to speed in.
Iverson quickly pushed up to his breakthrough route, and although he was small, his strength and judgment were not bad at all.
Just like the previous round, Tang Shuai's breakthrough was restricted, and he could only choose to use the turn and lean back.
Judging from the duel between the two, this is the safest way, and after he hits it, he turns out and prepares to shoot backwards.
"Smack!"
But at the moment when he turned around, there was a clear sound, and he felt a lightness in his hand, and when he looked again, there was still a ball in his hand.
Iverson steals Tang Shuai.
"Haha, it's my turn to attack now." Iverson said with a smile.
Tang Shuai felt a chill in his heart at this time, he was too careless, he had focused all his attention on Iverson's understanding of the breakthrough, but he forgot that even now, Iverson also had a purple steal bag on him.
You must know that Iverson was a player who has dominated the steal list for a long time and won three steals in his career!
