Chapter 153 Suspend, Suspend or Suspend
After the start of the fourth quarter, Du Zhe's performance was indeed affected to a certain extent due to his physical strength, and his shooting rate also decreased.

Once again relying on running and cutting to get rid of the entanglement between Artest and Kobe, he received a pass from his teammates and began to kill inside.

Under Du Zhe's repeated attacks, Bynum, who was guarding the basket, was dunked so dizzy that he couldn't distinguish between east, west, south, and north.

But he still went forward decisively.

He is also a part of this team, and he also has to defend the dignity of the champion!
Du Zhe rushed in again, but this time he felt that his physical fitness was obviously insufficient when he took off, and the power under his feet was also a little weaker.

This slight difference slightly reduced his jumping height. Facing Bynum's defense, he actually dunked the ball away.

"Okay!" Jackson on the sidelines couldn't help but secretly applauded.

Although Du Zhe also missed a lot of shots in this game, it was different this time. He dunked the ball in a head-to-head confrontation.

This is enough to show that the Huaguo kid's physical strength is no longer enough.

Victory is expected!Jackson couldn't help secretly cheering up.

After landing, Du Zhe, who was returning to defense, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, regretting that the ball was not scored.

There is no way, he is both a father and a mother in this competition, and his physical strength is approaching the limit.

And this is also a helpless move. After all, Du Zhe knows the true level of the Warriors.

If it weren't for his presence, this Warriors team would be nothing more than a weakling at the bottom of the league. Let alone reaching the Western Conference Finals, it would be impossible to even reach the threshold of the playoffs.

Therefore, he can only take over everything and try his best to resist the team's progress.

It would be nice if he could rest for a few more minutes... Du Zhe couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

But this thought was only fleeting, and then he concentrated and turned his attention back to the game.

He still holds the "lore killer" card in his hand. Even if the Lakers close the point difference to within 5 points, he still has the confidence to solve the opponent in the last minute.

But Nelson, who was on the sidelines, looked at Du Zhe's state and felt a trace of worry in his heart.

Since the start of the playoffs, Du Zhe's burden has been too heavy.

Defeating the Mavericks, defeating the Suns, and even today's battle with the Lakers, almost all depended on Du Zhe's own strength.

And so far in today's game, Du Zhe has only rested for 2 minutes.

As the team coach, Nelson knows that it is his responsibility to organize and deploy troops.

But he is also a clever woman who cannot make a living without straw. The team's lineup is weak, so he can only go all the way to the dark side, hoping to rely on Du Zhe to show his prowess to win today's victory.

Looking at the old Nelson standing on the sidelines on the other side with a frown and a bitter face, Phil Jackson couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He and Nelson are both famous coaches in the league. They have competed openly and covertly for decades, but Jackson has always been the one to hold the pressure.

This also made Jackson very happy. Although he was not very successful as a player, he was a top player in the league as a coach.

So what if the old Nelson won as many championships as a player?As a coach, he can't surpass me after all!

Even if he has Du Zhe this time!
Thinking of these, Jackson couldn't help feeling proud.

But Old Nelson on the other side frowned, and after hesitating for a long time, he suddenly called a timeout.

The Lakers were about to get going, but their rhythm was suddenly interrupted by this timeout.

But Jackson didn't feel much panic in his heart. In his opinion, this was just Nelson's death struggle.

It just so happens that he can also take advantage of this timeout to rearrange his tactics and let the Lakers sound the horn of counterattack.

Back on the bench, Du Zhe sat heavily on the chair, picked up a towel to wipe off his sweat, and started drinking Gatorade at the same time.

After taking a breath, he raised his head, wanting to hear what the coach had to say.

Unexpectedly, the old Nelson did not make any tactical arrangements, but was just talking about some morale-boosting words.

Old Nelson's performance reminded Du Zhe of the Celtics coach Rivers.

"Could it be that this old man has also been documented?" He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Coach, is there anything else you want to explain?" Seeing that the timeout was about to come, and Nelson didn't make any new arrangements for the tactics, Ellis couldn't help but asked strangely.

"It's okay, just take the time to rest." Although Nelson answered Ellis' question, his eyes always stayed on Du Zhe.

The timeout soon ended, and everyone on the Warriors was about to go on stage to continue the game, but they didn't expect Nelson to call another long timeout with a backhand.

Now not only the Warriors players were confused, but the Lakers players on the opposite side also didn't understand at all.

The game has now reached the 4th quarter, and the score difference between the two teams is so close. Logically speaking, every timeout is very precious. Why did Nelson call two timeouts so casually?
But the development of the matter did not stop there. After the second timeout, Nelson made a prompt decision and called a third long timeout.

The fans at the scene were also in an uproar. The fans sitting in the front row didn't know why Nelson made such a choice, and some impatient fans couldn't help booing.

Those fans sitting in the back row were far away from the stadium and couldn't figure out what happened for a while, thinking that there was an accident that caused the game to be temporarily interrupted.

After all, in the first game just a few days ago, Du Zhe and Kobe once had a conflict.

Many good fans couldn't help but stand up, wanting to see the hot scene.

But what disappointed them was that the court was calm, and the players of the two teams sat on the bench leisurely, obviously nothing happened.

Calling three long timeouts in a row, the old Nelson used up all the long timeouts of the team in the last quarter.

Although most of the Lakers and Warriors players were confused, Du Zhe and Jackson understood Nelson's true intentions.

Now Du Zhe finally knew that his boss was not transformed into a He document, but a Tyron Lu.

He couldn't help feeling in his heart: "Everyone laughs at Tyronn Lue, so everyone is Tyronn Lue."

But in any case, these three long timeouts called by Old Nelson did win Du Zhe a precious breathing opportunity.

Moreover, due to the NBA's consideration of advertising, the calculation of the timeout time is actually not so strict.

Sometimes a long timeout can drag on for two to three minutes. Although the three timeouts called by Nelson were not so exaggerated, they still allowed Du Zhe to rest for five or six minutes.

On the other side, Jackson couldn't help cursing inwardly.

He didn't expect old Nelson, as the famous coach of Qiansheng, to be able to use this trick.

He used all the team's timeouts in the fourth quarter just to let Du Zhe rest a little longer?

Where is this old man's reserve and honor as a famous commander in thousands of places?
You must know that even if Kobe was so tired, Jackson never even called a timeout to let Kobe rest.

How could old Nelson do things without psychological burden?
