Chapter 666: Soldiers Take Risks
"How?" He asked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"I want to stay on the pitch all the time." Tang Shuai said directly.
After listening to what Tang Shuai said, Billups was stunned for a while, and then suddenly said with a smile: "Tang, you must be me and joking." ”
"Coach, I'm not kidding, I know it's going to be a lot of physical exertion when you play a lot of time, but I can try to distribute my energy in the game." Tang Shuai said very seriously.
After listening to what Tang Shuai said, Billups realized that he was not joking, and began to think seriously.
'I've watched a lot of Aaron Iverson games and he knows how to use his attacking threat on the pitch to help his team-mates attack, and as well he will allocate his energy in the game to keep himself on the pitch at all times, so I want to try.' Tang Shuai said with a firm gaze.
Billups remained silent, and there was silence in the office.
Tang Shuai didn't speak again, his proposal was only from his own point of view, and Billups must have his judgment as a coach.
I don't know how long it was, when Tang Shuai felt a little soreness in his legs, Billups finally raised his head and said: "Every game in the playoffs is crucial, and it is not wise to make this attempt at this time......
Hearing what Billups said, Tang Shuai's eyes couldn't help but flash with a burst of disappointment.
"But ......" just when he thought Billups had rejected his proposal, Billups suddenly changed his words, "with the current strength of the team, this risk is still worth trying." ”
Tang Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you really want to try, I will cooperate with you tactically, you can rest assured that you can do it according to your own ideas." After Billups made his decision, his tone became less hesitant.
"I'll try, Coach." Tang Shuai nodded vigorously, Billups's trust in him, even if he tried his best, it was worth it.
"Well, I'm tired from training today, so you can go back and rest first." Billups followed.
Tang Shuai nodded, and then left the office.
After the Warriors beat the Lakers in two straight games to win 10 straight playoff games this season, and the Cavaliers and Celtics tied 1-1, the team's call for a championship reached its highest.
It is impossible for Tang Shuai to do one or four, and the Cavaliers, who have not performed well in the playoffs, will lose to the Warriors sooner or later.
At this time, there is no such thing as undefeated character, and many experts have begun to discuss the historical place of this Warriors team in the history of the NBA, and the question of who will eventually win the Finals MVP.
In fact, this is indeed a very interesting question, after all, the regular season win record was refreshed, Kerr was named the best head coach, Bobby Myers was elected the best general manager, except for the MVP was unexpectedly won by Tang Shuai, they have been quite smooth along the way, as long as they win the championship, it will really become the strongest team in history, and it will be written into history forever.
To paraphrase Green's arrogant but very practical words in an interview: "Everyone is witnessing history now, and you are all witnesses to history." ”
Perhaps the only thing to keep an eye on is whether the Warriors can win an undefeated championship and who will win the final MVP.
Under this strong public opinion, the Lakers sat at home and ushered in the third game against the Warriors.
Despite the one-sided trend of public opinion, the fans of Los Angeles still expressed their support for the home team at the most important moment, and the stadium was full on this day, although there was little hope, they still expected a miracle to be born.
Nicholson, a die-hard fan of the team, even carried his little golden man directly to the scene, according to the Chinese, to add some luck to the home team.
It was in this high-profile situation that the match between the two sides officially kicked off at the Staples Center.
The Lakers made personnel changes in this game, Billups removed Gasol, put Deng on the top of the No. 4 position, and then put Mike Dermott in the starting lineup, directly playing with the Warriors in a small lineup.
This change of formation was somewhat unexpected by Kerr, but he was only surprised and did not make any lineup or tactical changes.
After the start of the game, because of the small lineup, the direction of the game changed somewhat from the previous two games, but the change was not big, the Lakers still relied on Tang Shuai's play and the Warriors struggled, and when the two sides entered the rotation, the Warriors maintained a slight lead of 19-16.
When the substitutes on both sides came on the field, some helplessness flashed in the eyes of the fans on the spot.
In fact, the Lakers' main players have performed well enough, but the overall strength is indeed much worse, the game has four quarters, and the hope of winning is too slim.
On the Warriors' side, Durant and Green, who didn't play much in the first quarter, led the team.
At this time, the fans unconsciously opened their eyes and looked at the Lakers, Billups didn't replace Tang Shuai off the court!
"What happened?"
Fans can't help but talk to each other, Tang Shuai has done his best in the first half of the game, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, and his physical exertion is very great, but he is still on the court at this time?
"Could it be that Billups is ready to Tang Shuai? This is chronic suicide! ”
The fans couldn't help but talk about it again.
And in the midst of this doubt and doubt, Tang Shuai took Gasol, Mozgov, Stephenson and Halix on the field to continue the game.
As soon as the Warriors came up on the offensive round, Green received a pass from Livingston, passed the ball to Durant with his hand, and then immediately made a block, Durant directly hit a big two-pointer from the back to help the Warriors expand the score.
This goal shows Durant's stable projection ability, but the focus of the fans on the scene is not on this, but all on Tang Shuai.
Stephenson advanced through the half court with the ball, Tang Shuai received the ball on the outside, attracted the Warriors' defensive center of gravity, beckoned his teammates to open up space, and then hoisted the ball high into the inside Gasol, Gasol held the ball and hit Green directly.
The Warriors packed, and Gasol scored the basket against Mozgov.
After Mozgov was frozen by Billups in the second round, he learned from the pain of practicing the basket, and at this time, he received a pass from Gasol, and Pachuria, who used his weight to carry back to the defense, put the ball directly into the basket, which caused a burst of cheers from the fans.
On the Warriors' offense, Durant continued his heroic play, catching the ball with his back to Halix, and after a beautiful turn, he stepped back and hit a shot.
The Warriors have been able to achieve where they are today, and Durant's consistent shooting is an unobtainable factor.
Looking back, the Lakers attacked, and it was still Tang Shuai who received the ball on the outside, made a three-threat posture, and then saw the opportunity to hang Gasol on the inside.
With the experience of the last goal, Pachulia did not dare to go out easily, and because of Tang Shuai's containment on the outside, Iguodala did not dare to return to defense easily, and Gasol got a great chance to play alone.
Green is obviously not a vegetarian either, and he calmly did not let Gasol go in.
Although his mouth is very stinky, Green's strength is still obvious to all, especially with such a short height but extremely excellent defensive ability.
Gasol didn't move, and directly leaned on the punch to the outside, which is a standard backward shot.
Green has a calm undergame and is quite useful against Griffin's power-dependent interior, but against Gasol's technical interior, the limitations are more limited.
Gasol leaned back this time, and he basically had to look at it with dry eyes.
"Huh!"
Gasol's back-to-back hit steadily.
The fans burst into cheers, and after two rounds, the fans finally understood Billups' decision to let Tang Shuai continue to stay on the court not to let him continue to maintain his previous offensive intensity, but to let him form a defensive containment on the offensive end, and in fact, the main point of attack of this lineup is Gasol on the inside.
It's a tactic that hasn't been used in the previous two games, but at least for now, it's perfect for what it was supposed to do.
After Tang Shuai made the decision to stay on the field all the time, Billups's lineup made his proposal the most effective, and for this alone, he is already one of the best as a coach.
By the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had caught up with the score and relied on Stephenson's three-pointer with a hint of luck to overtake the score 32-29 at the last moment.
The emotions of the fans at the scene couldn't be more excited, and after the Lakers made a surprise move, the home team finally turned the momentum around.
What made the audience even more unexpected was that in the second quarter of the game, Tang Shuai was still on the field!
At this time, even Cole was a little dumbfounded, is this preparing to fill the audience?
This is considered to have won this game, but what about the next game?
Cole was able to lead the team to break the regular season record in a row, and it is obviously not a vegetarian, at this time, letting the players run tactics and let Livingston hold the ball in the low post is ready to consume Tang Shuai's physical strength on the defensive end.
Tang Shuai directly fouled in advance, and Billups reacted quickly and replaced Mozgov with Knoll on the field.
When the game continued, Livingston hit Tang Shuai with his back again, and Tang Shuai defended twice and walked out, allowing Livingston to turn around and go to the basket.
The defensive pressure came to Knoll's side.
Knoll was clearly prepared, reaching out to interfere with Livingston and successfully defending the ball.
This is also Billups's coping strategy, the Warriors want to consume Tang Shuai's physical strength on the defensive end, so he will transfer this defense to the inside, although there is a high probability of making the interior fall into a foul crisis, but the soldiers take a risky move, and there must be trade-offs.
Seeing this, Kerr immediately focused his defensive focus on the inside, and Tang Shuai seized the opportunity and did not pass the ball inside, but a beautiful corssover passed Iguodala, and then hit a direct dry pull-out jumper.
One of the obvious effects of this goal is to tell you that the Warriors, although they don't dominate the offense, as long as I'm on the court, I'm a full offensive threat.
For the first time in the series, Cole frowned, and for a moment it became clear that there was nothing he could do with this trick. (To be continued.) )
