Chapter Ninety-Six: Helpless Loss

Maybe there really isn't a chance, but the Heat triumvirate is in great shape today, Ray Allen is hot, and Sean Battier can always get the ball where it should be. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The seventeen-point difference is as difficult to bridge as the huge gap between the overall strength of the two teams, and there is only one quarter left for the Warriors.

In fact, with the explosive power of the Warriors, chasing seventeen points in one quarter is not completely impossible. But it's only a theoretical possibility, after all, the opponent is the Heat, you have to make sure that you score every time you attack, and you have to be suddenly dumb by the Heat.

Obviously, this is a bit impractical. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors' players were not in high spirits. But the atmosphere is not gloomy, after all, many people have been mentally prepared for this situation.

"Looks like the warriors are in danger!" The narrator said with a sigh.

"It's still a collapse in the third quarter, and in the end it still can't control the Heat's wave of offense, and the Warriors are still too young!"

"Did you notice that the best defensive segment in the third quarter didn't get a minute of playing time, which left Wade and Ray Allen with little to no pressure! Do you think this was a mistake by the Warriors?! The narrator asked the guests.

"Well, that's true from our point of view, but we're not on the floor after all, maybe the Warriors' head coach has his own reasons for doing this?! However, the Warriors' starters really can't limit the Heat, I don't know how they will play in the final quarter, whether to give up strategically, or fight again! ā€

"I don't want to give up, I think the Warriors still want to win!" The narrator said.

"Then they're going to fight to the death, don't think about it so much, fight hard...

Actually, he was talking about the point, and the Warriors players gathered around Matt Jackson to talk about how to play in the final quarter.

"No way! Let's try one last time, fight again, and if it doesn't work, give up! Richard Jefferson said.

A season in the NBA is a long process, and there will be many games throughout the season, with wins and losses, and the loss of one game doesn't mean anything. The players are also able to regulate their emotions very well, as long as they work hard, even if they fail, they will not regret it.

However, defeat is always not as happy as victory.

"Okay, Stephen, Collet, you guys stay on the court in the fourth quarter, play for five minutes, and if you haven't improved, come down and give them some chance!" Matt Jackson skimmed the end of the bench.

This style of play is normal, and many teams choose this way when facing a big deficit in the fourth quarter.

There are as many as fifteen registered players in a team, but there are only about nine or ten players who can play in a game, and in addition to the main team and the regular rotation lineup, there are also many players at the end of the bench, who are still trying to get enough playing time.

Since Duan Tianqing was able to play, although he didn't have much playing time, because of his talent and performance on the court, he indisputably became the first substitute point guard, and even at some critical moments when he needed to defend, Duan Tianqing was allowed to serve as the point guard's organization, liberating Curry and allowing him to devote more energy to scoring.

Originally, Curry's backup point guards sat on the cold bench tragically waving towels.

After all, there is so much playing time, and the coach will definitely give the opportunity to the one who is more capable and can contribute more.

Duan Tianqing's strength is obvious to all, so although he is only a rookie, his status in the team is not low, and he is not like some rookie rookies in other teams.

Just like now, Duan Tianqing snuggled up to the chair, holding his head, chewing gum in his mouth.

As he spoke, Matt Jackson glanced at Duan Tianqing. Do you want to send this guy up?! In terms of ability, this guy doesn't have to say anything, but he is a thorn in his personality.

I don't know why, as soon as he saw Duan Tianqing sitting on the bench in a big way, he became angry.

Matt Jackson luckily turned his head away from him, but told the players who were about to take precautions.

There was almost no difference between the beginning of the fourth quarter and the third quarter, the same lineup, the same style of play, the same inaction.

Maybe the Heat also had the intention of closing the game quickly, and they still sent the Big Three to the court. The consequences were obvious, the Warriors continued to collapse, with Curry and Thompson shooting out of the box, James and Wade still breaking through sharply, and the gap widened to 20 points at the end of the game with more than six minutes to go.

Many of the Warriors' home fans began to leave, Matt Jackson's face was gloomy, and the Warriors' bench was also silent.

Everyone seemed to accept the defeat, and even Draymond Green, who was usually the most hungry for victory, felt that the game seemed to be like that. The dead ball was timed out, and the Golden State Warriors, who were one side behind, made the first substitution.

"Great work! Buddy! Duan Tianqing stood up and hugged his teammates one by one.

"Hey!" Curry sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"See the gap!" Matt Jackson said to the players.

"I'll admit that some of the players in this room are very talented, but you're still a lot close to becoming a superstar, even if it's a star, it's important to listen to the command!"

Hearing this, Duan Tianqing pursed his lips. Isn't this just talking about me, what does losing have to do with me, there are a lot of reasons for losing to the Heat, and if it weren't for me, I would have lost faster.

"Hey, Duan, the coach has trained people, sit better!" A young player on one side sat nervously. kindly reminded Duan Tianqing, who was sitting with a hanging.

"Hah, cup cat, do you have a drink?!" Duan Tianqing still didn't care.

This player's name is Bezemore, and because Chinese sounds like a cup cat, he was nicknamed a cup cat by Chinese fans such as Duan Tianqing.

He was also a rookie this year, but he wasn't very lucky and wasn't drafted, but was picked up by the Warriors with a base salary in the summer.

Because of his ability to be a person, Bezemore has a good relationship with almost everyone on the team. can put himself in the right position, Matt Jackson also likes him more because he is obedient.

"Duan, didn't you hear me speak?!" Matt Jackson said to Duan Tianqing with a gloomy face.

"Oh! Hear me, are you shirking your responsibilities!? Duan Tianqing said lightly.

"You..." There's not much Matt Jackson can do when he encounters this kind of prickly player, after all, he doesn't have a lot of coaching experience.

"Okay, everyone is in a bad mood when you lose, don't talk about it anymore!" An assistant coach saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed and quickly interjected.
