Chapter 258 267: The Old Fox
Compared with the fans, the commentator's performance is considered calm.At this moment, Staples is like a hot oil pan being poured into a basin of cold water.
The boiling feeling quickly spread among the 2 people in the arena. The blood of the fans was burning, and their passion had undoubtedly reached its peak.
"Traitor, this is your retribution!"
"Kneel down! Traitor, this is God's punishment for you."
"Lamar, one more, we love you."
"Boom!" With the playback on the big screen again and again, the waving hands of the fans were like branches in the forest. When the strong wind blew, they waved their branches heartily.Lamar Odom's dunk was like a gust of wind, and the shouts of fans kept echoing in the forest, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Roar!" Lamar Odom only felt the exhilaration of what he had done before. He had never felt this way before. It turned out that the feeling of riding a dunk was so cool.Immediately after he landed, he ran in front of Michael Finley, and the two of them bumped their chests and shouted at the fans, which once again stimulated the secretion of adrenaline from the fans.The fans of the Zijin Army were almost berserk. Their crazy shouts seemed to make the ground tremble. Their waving arms seemed to form an irresistible wind, blowing across every piece of land in the arena.
What happened to Robert Horry at this time?Sitting on the ground, he felt that his powerful heart seemed to be about to stop. He knew that this time he was humiliated, let alone in front of his old club.Brent Barry walked up to him and pulled him up, patted him on the back, and said, "Robert, it's okay, isn't it just the background of a dunk? Think about your lore, everyone It’s a team of people who serve as your background! Just think of it as saving character for future lore!”
Robert Horry smiled wryly and said, "Brent, do you know? I didn't even dare to look up to watch the replay on the big screen. I was so embarrassed and embarrassed at that time. Tell me, am I ashamed of my appearance just now?"
"What's there to be ashamed of? When using others as a background, you must have the awareness to be others' background. Okay, you go down and rest first! It doesn't matter, this is just a goal. Today's winner must be San Antonio," Brent Barry reassured, punching Robert Horry in the chest.
Huo Li touched his chest, only feeling a faint warmth there, "The Holy City is my last stop, but no matter what, I want to retire here." '
Gregg Popovich made the decision to substitute, and Robert Horry silently walked to the bench.Robert Horry was replaced, and the fans in Los Angeles became more energetic. Their boos shook the arena ceiling again. They hated those who had achieved glory in Los Angeles to leave here.
"Robert, you should never have left Los Angeles."
"Traitor, you should thank Lamar, you will definitely be in the headlines tomorrow."
"Old guy, how long has it been since you made the headlines? Let's help you relive that feeling again."
'Shouldn't I have left in the first place? ! 'Robert Horry sat on the bench and looked at the purple gold, the tumbling golden ocean, how familiar he used to be, but now this familiarity has added a strangeness.He silently closed his eyes. As a member of the Zijin Army, he was once proud, but for the sake of the ring, he resolutely chose to leave.Looking at it now, it doesn't matter whether that choice was wrong or right. The important thing is that he has decided to retire in the Holy City.It seemed like yesterday that he enjoyed the crazy cheers of the fans after the lore, but today he was wearing the San Antonio silver-gray armor. For this jersey, he had no choice. He is only a San Antonio native now. You can only fight for one team.
His big heart, which had endured countless pressures, still had a trace of fear just now, but now it became extremely firm again, it was beating powerfully, and it was under pressure from all directions all the time.No matter how much pressure is around, it will not tremble, because he belongs to the greatest clutch player among active NBA players-Robert Horry.
……
Qin Tao has been watching everything on the field coldly, he knows the trend of tonight's game, and he also knows what happened after this buckle.It wasn't until Gregg Popovich made the choice to make a substitution that he handed Brown Shaw an instruction to replace Luke Walton with Chris Webber.The Lakers must win this game anyway, so after Tim Duncan re-enters the game, Chris Webber must also return to the game.
After Tim Duncan came on the court, he was restrained by the Lakers' defense again. The chemical effect of GDP is very important to each of them. There is only one Duncan. Qin Tao is very relieved to let Chris Webber and Chris -Anderson goes to double-team him.Lamar Odom's shift to small forward didn't slow down the Lakers' bench, and the Lakers even played crazy and fast offense in the next few minutes.
Chris Anderson jams Tim Duncan, Chris Webber grabs the rebound, Michael Finley and Derek Fisher sprint in, and Lamar Odom runs in the middle He still has an advantage over Brent Barry, who is facing him in height.After a pause, Fisher dragged the ball with one palm and hit it hard. The basketball penetrated Nesterovic's defense that stood between him and Odom.After getting the ball, Odom made a simple change of direction and broke through to the basket. Facing Brent Barry, he easily licked the blue to end the attack.
In the next 2 minutes, the Lakers sent a wave of 10 to 4. They successfully expanded the point difference to double digits, but in front of such a double digit lead, Qin Tao still did not have any smile on his face .He knows how this lead came, he used the potion of agility, and only with the speed bonus of the potion of agility, Lamar Odom could complete that dunk in the sprint.
Popovich still has no expression on his rigid face, and everyone wants to know what expression he will have when the team trails by as many as double digits, but his face is still stone, even the skin is thick. Didn't smoke.Perhaps Tim Duncan was influenced by Popovich to become the most famous poker face in the league!When the team fell behind by more than ten points, his expression remained unmoved.The director cut the shots to them again and again, but they didn't have any feedback, as if they knew in advance that the camera was going to be shot, and then deliberately kept their faces straight.
"It's fine that Popovich and Duncan are expressionless, why is Qin Tao's face like this? Does this indicate something?"
"I think Qin Tao's face has always been like this! He is extremely calm, and there is no wave in the ancient well. Sometimes I even suspect that he is an old man with a very deep palace!"
"No, Qin Tao's expression is still a little cold today. I always feel that something else is going on. It may be difficult for the Lakers to maintain this advantage."
"Hehe! Could it be that now his face can also become a weather vane foretelling the game?"
"If you look closely, his face can really be used as a pointer to the rhythm of the court."
"Popovich made a substitution, he put Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and others, but he didn't change Brewer Bowen. Ugh, he also changed Robert Hugo Here, this is probably the most powerful lineup for the Spurs on the offensive end, what does Popovich want to do?"
What does Popovich want?Qin Tao is the clearest. He clearly knows that his opponent is an old fox. During the nine encounters last season, the old man has thoroughly studied the habits of the Lakers.He is very clear about what happened just now. The Lakers must have entered what the media called a "twitch moment" just now. According to past experience, he knows that after the Lakers' "twitch moment" is over, there will definitely be a period of low tide.
For this low tide period, Qin Tao has specially studied it.In the section where the potion is used, even if it is used by another player, the potion will no longer be effective. It seems that the upper limit of the number of people who use the potion in each session is 5 people.And during that low tide period, Qin Tao didn't know what happened.Later, after referring to the explanation of the human body in "Energy", he came up with some ideas of his own.He felt that it should be just an adaptation process of the human body, and it should be a kind of stimulation of the potential after using the potion, although there were no side effects displayed on the controller.But everything in the control is data, and her reality is still a little bit different, so the low tide period should be a natural reflection of the human body, and has nothing to do with the potion.
This low tide period is actually not very obvious, but it is often caught in the gap against some very strong opponents.It's just that most people are rarely able to grasp this so-called low tide period, but Gregg Popovich's judgment can be described as quite terrifying.Qin Tao originally wanted to use the agility potion on the bench in order to catch the Spurs by surprise, but Gregg Popovich, a staid old man, was so clumsy about the timing.His keen sense of smell told him that there must be a chance for the Lakers to seize this moment to fight fiercely.
Qin Tao knew Popovich's terrifying timing, and he also made adjustments when the Spurs made substitutions. Who made him "prophet"?The main force was all replaced by him, and he also replaced Sabo Sefolosha to strengthen the defense and limit the demon knife Manu Ginobili.
But in front of such a Spurs, the Lakers still did not stand up, and the Spurs narrowed the point difference to 10 points in one fell swoop 2-4.And inside the Lakers, Tim Duncan was like a thorn in their heart, making them uncomfortable.Kwame Brown is too immature, and Chris Webber is a little bit out of his depth.When facing the wolf king Kevin Garnett, the Lakers dared to shrink their defense, but against the Spurs, would the Lakers dare to shrink?Tony Parker's speed and Manu Ginobili's snake-shaped breakthrough are very terrifying weapons, plus the Spurs and Robert Horry are super key players.
The outside didn't dare to let go completely, and Tim Duncan inside was very strong. Before halftime, Duncan tied the score with a [-]-degree board.
"Damn it." Seeing Duncan clenched his fists secretly celebrating, Qin Tao cursed.The changes he made did not change the score at halftime, and the Lakers still tied the Spurs at 49.Rejecting the reporter who wanted to interview him, Qin Tao quickly walked back to the locker room. Gregg Popovich's grasp of the timing allowed the Spurs to seize the opportunity to tie the score, but what can Qin Tao do?Apart from cursing the old fox in his heart, he could only arrange it in the locker room. The result of the first half was the same as that of the controller.He's going to try to get the same result as the controller in the second half.Undoubtedly, this is a battle between the old fox and the young fox, and it was just their first round of contest.
As soon as he walked to the locker room, Qin Tao suddenly discovered a mistake of his own. Maybe this mistake is not too serious, but if this detail is handled well, the Lakers might be able to take a small lead, even a double-digit lead. Leading into the second half!
When the Spurs replaced the strongest offensive lineup in the team, the Lakers should not choose defense, and Qin Tao should not think about restricting Manu Ginobili, he should even put Lamar O Put Dom on the court and use Chris Webber to play center. This lineup is used to attack the Spurs.In the game after the second quarter, the Spurs obviously focused on offense rather than defense. Their focus on the defensive end must not be as good as before, so this is not only an opportunity for the Spurs, but also an opportunity for the Lakers.
It's just that the Spurs have always been the kind of team whose defense is as stubborn as a rock in Qin Tao's impression. He subconsciously thinks that such a team can't attack, and the offense is not strong.So when the Lakers took the lead and the Spurs put on a strange lineup, he subconsciously chose a conservative style of play. As long as the Lakers survived the second quarter and the Lakers ushered in a wave of offensive climax in the third quarter, then victory would be guaranteed. It's completely in my hands.But in the end...it taught Qin Tao a good lesson.
In the first round of contest between the little fox and the old fox, Qin Tao was considered to have lost.However, he only lost a small battle between the two of them. In the overall situation of the game, the two of them were still tied. As for who will win in the end, it's hard to say.
Standing in the locker room, Qin Tao smiled and praised every player, especially Lamar Odom and Leo Bailey.Leo Bailey sat aside frowning. It was obvious that he still didn't know how to use his strength advantage. Any opponent he faced before was directly smashed by speed.The same is true in the NBA, as long as his speed rushes up, almost no one can defend him. Now he has to learn to use the advantages of strength in the game, squeeze the opponent away with strength in a small space and accelerate with force.But he has never felt like this, he must learn, and he will definitely learn, but now it seems that he must master such power in this game, which seems to be a bit difficult.
Leo Bailey kept frowning and thinking about it. He couldn't understand this question but he couldn't ask his teammates, because Qin Tao said that he couldn't tell anyone, he could only rely on himself.This is a kind of pressure. This kind of pressure even makes Leo Bailey feel a little out of breath, but this feeling is much better than the scolding in the away game.
Qin Tao is holding the tactical board to summarize the first half and the tactics of the second half. In fact, the main function of his tactical board is not to draw tactical diagrams and running routes, but to write some key words and criticize Who should be praised, or who should be taken care of in the second half, and who can be more relaxed in defense.Because he feels that players must memorize the tactics before the game, so that they can perform better on the field, and only need to make fine-tuning during the game. If you want to rearrange the tactics on the field, that kind of game is basically lost.
At this time, in the locker room of the visiting team, Monty Williams stood aside, listening carefully to every word Gregg Popovich said, but he felt quite satisfied in his heart.Today he learned another trick. In the second quarter, Gregg Popovich actually guessed Qin Tao's countermeasure.He just took advantage of people's subconscious feelings about certain things and made adjustments. At that time, if Qin Tao really chose to play fast break with him desperately, he would really have to fall into a passive position, but Qin Tao didn't. He chose to play conservatively, which allowed Gregg Popovich to seize the opportunity.
Sometimes it is not an unfeasible method to take risks. The old man wanted to win this game, but he didn't want to play as hard as the finals, so he used a clever trick in the second quarter.Such a tactic didn't cost him much, but it brought him back more benefits.This is the old fox!Qin Tao, a little fox, is a little worse than him.
……
In the second half, Gregg Popovich once again built an impenetrable wall in front of the Lakers.In the first half, he might be able to catch a little bit of the Lakers' flaws and hit a wave of climax, but it seems impossible for him to use such a method in the second half.So he didn't think about those tricks at all. He directly instructed the players on the field to put up the strongest defense and restrain the Lakers.Even if you can't score or let your opponent score, the final victory is still ours.
And what about Qin Tao?In front of the impregnable Spurs, his choice is still to attack.He might make some tempo changes in the second half, but overall he has to attack.The atmosphere in the first half was already tense for the fans, but it was just a warm-up for the normal game.In the second half, the atmosphere of last year's Western Conference Finals will come back, even better, because the Zijin Army's strength has been improved today, and Qin Tao's experience is also growing.He will not let the tricks of the old fox reappear in front of him, and the old fox will not give the Lakers a chance in vain. As for the final victory, no one can predict...
