Chapter 170: Battle Warrior (10)
The rest of the group was also being targeted, with Mills opting to pass the ball to Ade, who was standing low, but the latter passed the ball back and shouted, "Shoot!" ”
Mills looked at He Dong, who was caught by the double, and it seemed that the ball had to come by himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With no one in front of him, Mills slightly adjusted his shooting posture and immediately shot a three-point shot!
The audience was praying, hoping that Mills' plug-and-play ability would explode and blow the Warriors with a few shots in a row, but what he thought in his heart didn't work out, and Mills shot out of the frame this time.
Durant took the defensive rebound and launched a counterattack, strode to the three-point line, and immediately raised his hand and shot!
is worthy of being a historic scorer, the basketball hollowed into the net, and Durant scored 3 points with a knife in his hand to help the Warriors overtake again.
The score came to 92-93.
When the Spurs served, He Dong took the initiative to ask for the ball and planned to organize an offense, but as soon as he passed the half, he was caught by Durant and Curry, and he suddenly felt bad in his heart.
Durant stretched out his long arms to envelop He Dong, and Curry looked for an opportunity to break the ball on the side, and He Dong could make a mistake if he was not careful. And if there is a mistake in the half, there is only one ending, and Curry or Durant can score easily.
Mills rushed to He Dong's vicinity and asked anxiously, and he didn't know if He Dong could see it, Durant's arms were too long and covered a wide area, blocking He Dong's vision.
In critical condition, Ho threw the ball out of Durant's crotch and into Mills.
The latter faced the big vacancy again, and this time He Dong was also shouting: "Shoot!" Believe in yourself! ”
Mills was slightly nervous, some people are like this, when someone defends, they can play normally and score goals often. But once there is no defense, there will be a strong sense of discomfort, which will affect the feel, and in severe cases, it may cause psychological disorders.
For example, he was once used by Jordan to say, "You little man, even if you are given an empty seat, you can't vote." The mocking "little bug" Boggs, because of that empty shot and Jordan's taunts, led to his subsequent career, the empty mid-distance has not played stably.
Mills is also not tall, and now the league is in the era of point guard blowouts, and he has always faced opponents who are much better than him, and under this pressure, he is a plug-and-play scorer.
But now suddenly there is no one to defend and the pressure is lost, which makes him feel very uncomfortable on the court.
Taking a deep breath, Mills slapped the ball to adjust the rhythm of his shot, and then made another three-point shot, this time he made an adjustment in his mentality, which was like a three-point shot in training on weekdays.
This time he didn't disappoint the fans in attendance, the basketball fell firmly into the basket, and Mills scored three points for the Spurs.
He Dong breathed a sigh of relief, Mills should be able to play normally now.
Thompson then fired a shot from beyond the three-point line, causing Mills' beaters to foul and make 2 of 3 free throws to bring the score to 95-95 and the two sides returned to the same line.
In the Spurs' next offense, Mills was let go again, this time he didn't hesitate, he made a decisive three-point shot, the feeling was slightly off, and the basketball spun around the basket and then brushed out of the basket.
Although he didn't score, it seems that Mills has become decisive and adapted to the rhythm of unguarded.
Next, Curry used the cover to enter the restricted area and make a low-handed layup to cause Ade to foul, and hit all 2 free throws, giving the Warriors a two-point advantage.
However, Mills quickly hit a second three-pointer for the fourth open time to push the score to 98-97 and the Spurs were once again in the lead.
Kerr was hesitating, and Mills' three-point performance on 2-of-4 shooting left him in jeopardy, wondering if he should continue to let his open shots continue.
As he pondered, the Warriors' offense ended with Durant's mid-range pullup jumper, and He Dong took a defensive rebound to launch a fast break and send the ball to Mills.
Mills made his fifth open 3-shot shot of the fourth quarter, and this time he felt really good, and he had confidence in his eyes that he could throw the ball into the basket!
Sure enough, the ball went into the net in the cheers of the audience.
The crowd chanted Mills' name and cheered for him, and he made three three-pointers in the fourth quarter!
The score came to 101-97, and the Warriors trailed by four points.
Cole immediately called a timeout.
"Guys, I don't think you can let Mills go any longer, he's in great shape today, Stephen, you're still going to defend the point guard. Kevin, you defend He Dong one-on-one, whether you can win this game depends on your performance. Cole looked distressed, and Mills played more than he expected.
At this time, someone spoke out dissatisfiedly and shouted: "This is your dereliction of duty!" You simply don't have a good defensive strategy! ”
Green and Kerr have always had contradictions, the former as the Warriors' tactical organization core on the court, sometimes knows how to connect teammates better than Curry, he has his own set of offensive ideas and defensive strategies, for Kerr, the head coach, many times he is dissatisfied.
As the head coach, Kerr also has the support of management behind him, and in order to maintain his authority, it is easy to quarrel with Green, who is not easy to control his emotions, many times.
Green is in a bad mood now, he has been playing with the Spurs for so long, and now the score is still behind, and his anger immediately rises, and he angrily vents the head coach.
In the face of Green's reprimand, Cole shrugged helplessly: "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"I'm here to guard against that Chinese man!" Green immediately roared, he wanted to restrain He Dong one-on-one.
Durant on the side doesn't care, it's okay to defend Ade by himself.
The timeout ended quickly, and Kerr finally had to compromise because the players were on Green's side, and as the head coach, even if he wrote a defensive strategy, he probably wouldn't listen.
Kerr feels at stake, unable to establish his credibility with his players, and may soon be leaving the Warriors.
On the court, the Warriors attacked, Curry and Green blocked and covered at the three-point line, and the former entered the restricted area to attract the defense and put the ball in the hands of the latter.
Green received the ball, dumped a shot, and then slammed into Ibaka with a roar and made a successful foul.
After hitting 2 free throws, Green's mood also eased a little, and the score came to 101-99, with only 2 points left. Next, the Warriors just need to defend well.
He Dong controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and this time he did not encounter Curry and Durant's bag again, but the person who defended him alone became Green.
If Leonard is the No. 1 choice for the best defensive player, then Green is the No. 2 player, and although he often uses small movements, his defensive strength is evident for all.
He Dong confronted Green, who took the initiative to step forward to press.
Suddenly accelerating, and then pulling the ball back, He Dong shook Green's center of gravity, and then accelerated from the other side to break through.
Green's footsteps were fast, and his body was close to He Dong, not allowing him to make a move easily.
The two were entangled, and He Dong finally suddenly moved sideways and strode to stagger his position, and stopped at the free throw line!
