Chapter 114 Pessimism and Optimism
Su Yang walked quickly to the bench, raised his hand to take the towel handed over by the staff, wiped the sweat on his neck, and hurriedly stood in front of Van Gundy. in a circle.
"We had issues on both ends of the floor..."
Van Gundy opened his mouth slowly, admitting that he underestimated the offense of the Grizzlies team, especially Gasol's coping ability. The conventional defensive routine of besieging the middle is not easy to use, but there is no other better way, so he can only continue to use it.
After talking about defense, Van Gundy talked about offense again. First, he pointed out that there were too few air cuts and did not make full use of the characteristics of the Grizzlies who like to pinch the ball holder. In particular, he pointed out that when Su Yang faced a double-team, Randolph and Jordan should resolutely attack the basket basket.
Secondly, it is emphasized that you can shoot more three-pointers and more singles, speed up the offensive rhythm, and avoid the perfect rotation of the Grizzlies.
Su Yang nodded while listening. His thinking is basically the same as that of Van Gundy, but the Grizzlies are also a group of young players, and they will not be at a big disadvantage when encountering a fast-paced offense. .
In the end, Van Gundy said that he can be a little more proactive, instead of waiting until the Grizzlies start to change every time.
"I have a supplementary idea..." Stevens continued, "It is suggested that Su Yang play shooting guard and switch to Davis as the main control, which can not only take advantage of Mayo's off-ball running advantage, but also increase the Conley's weight advantage."
Hearing this, Su Yang and Davis looked at each other and nodded at the same time to express that they could try.
Stevens then arranged the tactics after the timeout ended, and the whistle sounded to continue the game soon.
...
For the Clippers frontcourt, Su Yang stands on the right waist, and Randolph stands on the left elbow.
The referee blew the whistle and the short corner on the right of Davis lifted beyond the three-point line, received the pass and turned around to wait.
Su Yang and Randolph followed closely, and they set up a human wall for double cover.
Davis shifted to the left by a large margin, while Su Yang moved parallel to the left elbow area, pretending to be a positioning screen for Gordon, but actually turned his back against Mayo, raised his right hand and asked for the basketball, and Davis immediately gave it to him. Tactics are half the battle.
The rest of the Clippers shifted to the right one after another, leaving a large space in the left half. Su Yang caught the ball and swept down to the bottom line, trying to cross the bottom line to break through.
That once thought, Mayo gave a strong physical resistance, directly hitting Su Yang and forced to slow down.
The referee didn't call the penalty, but Conley called back from the right side with a 45-degree contraction, and Su Yang hurriedly passed the ball in the opposite direction.
As soon as Davis took the ball and stood up, Conley returned to the defense in a flash, and had to change hands and shake his crotch.
Seeing this, Jordan stepped forward to cover the wall, Davis accelerated to the top of the arc, and chose to pass the ball back.
As soon as Su Yang received the basketball, Conley went up to double-team again, and Griffin was also eager to try.
Strong play is definitely not enough. Now we have to pursue the success rate. Su Yang thought for a moment, turned around and passed Davis, and mentioned the top of the arc by the way, set up a wall to block Conley who returned to defense, and then disassembled the outer bounce to the right 45 degrees three point line.
Davis broke through at full speed and tacitly returned the pass, but with only 2.8 seconds left in the attack time, Mayo still pounced on like a hungry wolf. Su Yang caught the ball and had no time to make more preparations, so he grabbed the rhythm and made a long shot.
The basketball hit the front of the rim, rebounded into Gay's hands, and the Grizzlies launched a counterattack.
Conley took the ball on the left side of the front court, observed for a while and made a long pass to the right sideline, Mayo received the ball and waited.
Su Yang turned his head quickly, and found that Griffin wanted to get a position on the right waist, and fought with Randolph who was circling forward.
The two fought for a long time, Jiang was still hot, Griffin failed to get a position, and Mayo passed the ball back.
Conley took the ball to the top of the arc, waited until Gay and Gasol cooperated to clear the left half, immediately hit the ground and passed the ball, and ran to the bottom line to create a threat of inward coordination, forcing Davis to chase and provide Gasol Create singles spaces.
I saw Gasol turn to face the frame with the ball, stepping continuously with his right foot as the axis, and suddenly took off to make a mid-range shot.
when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.
Players from the two teams scrambled to the basket, Gordon succeeded in a chaotic battle, and the Clippers launched a counterattack.
Davis caught the ball and took it to the right wing of the frontcourt. With the help of Jordan's cover, he was double-teamed on the spot. Although Jordan went to the inside according to the coach's arrangement, Gasol immediately went to the basket and still failed to get a chance.
In a hurry, Davis turned and passed the ball to the top of the arc, and Randolph caught the ball and turned and passed to the right wing.
Su Yang raised his hand to catch the ball, took advantage of the trend to cross and stride, forcibly squeezed Mayo away, and dribbled the ball with his left hand to the baseline.
He shot the ball with great force, the sound of the basketball hitting the floor, and the sound of the sneakers rubbing against the floor played one after another, as if the majestic "March of Triumph" was being played, which attracted the audience to grow their mouths in advance and prepare to cheer.
Seeing that Gasol may be the first to complete the station, he decisively gave up the next dribble and took off early.
boom!The two collided head-on.
The basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the net, and the cheers in the arena suddenly exploded.
But the referee blew his whistle immediately, waved his hands crosswise to indicate that the goal was invalid, and whistled for an offensive foul at the same time!
The cheers stopped abruptly, Su Yang took Jordan's hand to stand up, and ran forward quickly.
He knew very well that it was indeed an offensive foul just now. In fact, he could have swayed away with a European step. It didn't matter whether he made a layup or assisted Jordan.
In an offensive and defensive transition, Conley dribbled the ball across the center line, raised his hand and passed it to Mayo on the right wing, and strode towards the bottom corner.
Mayo took the ball and passed it to the top of the arc, Gasol caught the ball and ran to the left, positioning Gay as a cover.
Gordon was already at a disadvantage in stature, and he had no choice but to encounter a delay from the big pyrenes. Jordan hurriedly switched defenses to intercept.The other three Clippers shrunk to the paint at the same time. Gay rushed to the free throw line with nowhere to go, raised his hand and threw the ball to the right wing.
Conley just reached the right wing with Mayo's cover, caught the ball and turned to face Su Yang to change defense.
Perhaps intimidated by Su Yang's desperate attitude of "I must guard you down", Conley didn't even want Griffin to pick and roll, but chose to pass the ball back to Guy at the top of the arc, and at the same time directed Gasol to go Do a pick and roll fit.
Gasol stepped up quickly, blocking Gordon as before, and Jordan Jr. flanked without hesitation.
Gay shifted to the left and couldn't get away, so he simply threw the ball to Gasol who opened the inside cut.
Su Yang saw it, and quickly walked around in front of Gasol, and slapped the basketball away.
The cheers exploded, but Gasol reached out and snatched the ball back, turned around and threw it to the unguarded Conley.
Davis scrambled to rotate to cover the defense, Conley passed the ball to the short corner, and Mayo cut and received the ball for an easy layup.
17 to 7, more than a minute after the timeout, the Clippers scored zero and were widened.
There was an irritable expression on Jordan's face, and he almost made a mistake in serving the ball. It was Su Yang who gestured to remind him at the center line. Davis and others didn't pay attention.
Van Gundy clapped and cheered, and the audience also cheered and cheered led by DJ.
In a blink of an eye, Davis took the ball to the top of the arc.
Seeing this, Su Yang started running from the bottom corner on the left, with the help of Randolph's cover in the elbow area, crossed the free throw line and moved to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, received the ball from Davis, turned around and faced Mayo and posed Triple threat pose.
Seeing his actions like this, the three teammates moved to the left one after another, and only Jordan went up to the wall to cover.
Gasol took the lead to block the space on the right sideline. Su Yang chose to move towards the top of the arc. Unfortunately, he failed to find a better breakthrough opportunity and immediately passed the ball back to the left 45-degree three-pointer Davis.
Randolph moved up to cover Davis almost at the same time, then immediately turned around and cut inside, took the basketball and rushed into the paint area, but faced with the simultaneous attack of Gasol, Griffin, Mayo, and Conley, he had to take the Throw to the right wing.
Su Yang received the ball wide open, and the Grizzlies had no one to defend, so he made a steady three-pointer.
when!The basketball hit the basket and flew out in two circles.
Mayo grabbed the rebound, slowly took it across the center line, handed it to Conley, and moved to the right from the bottom line.
Gasol took the pass from Conley at the top of the key and walked slowly toward the right elbow, just as Mayo arrived.
The two cooperated hand in hand. Mayo caught the ball and used his speed to forcibly get rid of Jordan, who was changing defenses. He rushed to the top of the arc like driving a Ferrari. Ignoring Su Yang, who was defending from a long distance, he forcibly took off and shot a three-pointer, staged a big collision in the air.
Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.
The referee blows his whistle to indicate that the three-pointer is valid, and an additional penalty will be given.
Boos erupted in the arena, and Mayo stood up excitedly, blinking and smiling at Su Yang.
The meaning of provocation was very strong, so Su Yang ignored it.
He looked up at the big screen and found that there were 5 minutes left before the end of the first quarter. The Clippers were 7-20 behind.
Van Gundy beckoned, Elthorton came in for a replacement, and he walked back to the bench to sit down and rest.
The first quarter of the game ended quickly, and the Clippers fell behind 17 to 34.
Little Jordan walked up to Su Yang and sat down, gasping for breath, and said with a slightly irritable expression: "The Grizzlies seem to be cheating, especially that Gasol, we have never been so far behind, okay It's hard to chase."
Su Yang chuckled: "You said that pessimistically, do you know what optimistic people would say?"
Little Jordan tilted his head and stared suspiciously.
Su Yang snapped his fingers: "Our opportunity for a big reversal has come, and we can just enjoy it!
But until then, we need to keep working hard, it's a tough game! "
