Chapter 411 The next Jordan

The game is like this. In order to prevent Stephen from scoring, the Grizzlies put on a defensive posture of the whole team. Even if Stephen is not good at assists, he can pass a few good balls to his teammates, not to mention that Stephen's assists are top-notch. It's even less of a problem.

So up to now, although the Grizzlies are ahead of the Sonics, they only lead by three points, because it is too easy for the rest of the Sonics to score, and if they relax a little, Stephen will only use less than half He scored eleven points in just one quarter. Although Stephen only scored fifteen points at halftime, he sent out eleven assists.

In the end, the Grizzlies decided that in the second half, except for Rudy Gay who continued to defend Stephen, his defense against Stephen was pretty good in the first half. If Stephen maneuvered outside, Michael Miller would wait for the opportunity to double-team. If Stephen is attacking the basket, Pau Gasol can release Wilcox for a while and double-team Stephen.

In this way, at least two positions will be freed up, and among the three people, only two people are really used. It is impossible for Stephen to be on the outside and inside. This double-teaming method is not a simple two-on-one double-teaming. For Stephen, it can be regarded as exhausted.

It's a pity that they don't know the phrase "the organ is too smart to calculate, and it will miss your life". At the beginning of the second half, Stephen played Rudy Gay with his back. Not bad, but the strength under his feet was not very solid, but Stephen didn't take advantage of it.

Up to now, Stephen didn't notice the opponent's resolute double-teaming, so he immediately turned around and started to play post-ups against Rudy Gay. and experience work.

However, Stephen's attack made it impossible for the Grizzlies to double-team. After seeing Michael Miller, just as he was about to come over, Stephen raised his hand and made a move to pass to Durant, which immediately scared him Going back, Pau Gasol naturally has nothing to do, he can't come over to help Rudy Gay stand up.

At this moment, Stephen moved suddenly, and his left shoulder sank. Rudy Gay immediately turned his attention to the right side, guessing that Stephen was going to turn from this direction, but Stephen made a fake move, and turned from his left side instead. turned around.

When Rudy Gay turned around and moved sideways, ready to block Stephen again, he felt it was too late. Seeing Stephen raised his hand to shoot, he involuntarily made a hand-holding movement. When he wanted to take it back, the referee had already blown the ball. The whistle sounded, and the ball in Stephen's hand had already flown into the basket.

Two plus one, as Stephen easily put the ball into the basket, also helped the team tie the score, but the Grizzlies, who came on in the third quarter, Kyle Lowry, took advantage of the breakthrough to cause Watson The foul also became a two plus one, and the Grizzlies took a three-point lead again.

Stephen scored two points again with a flying jumper. Rudy Gay learned the lesson from last time and did not dare to reach out again. Stephen just made a simple jumper in front of him, neither maneuvering outside nor breaking inside. In one-on-one situations, Rudy Gay only has a physical advantage.

But the little fat man broke through again with the ball. Although his height is similar to Watson's, he has a great advantage in strength. Two free throws, but the gap still failed to close.

Stephen didn't attack again this time, but passed the ball to Wilcox. Facing Pau Gasol's tall and long-armed defense, Wilcox passed the ball to Stephen again, and Stephen passed it again. Durant's shot missed, but Coupard won the card battle with Milicic, grabbed the rebound, and then took off for a layup.

But after coming back, Milicic also bullied him with his footsteps. He was selected by the Pistons. In addition to his excellent basket skills, he also has footwork and ball-handling skills that are not inferior to guards. Although Coupard is nothing Brother rough, but compared with others, there is still a big gap.

Nearly halfway through the third quarter, Carlesimo replaced Stephen. He should have rested Stephen in the first half, but because the two sides had been in a stalemate, Carlesimo did not dare to replace Stephen. , although it is still in a stalemate, it is impossible not to let Stephen rest.

This game is the second back-to-back game. Although it is the home game, it is not much better than the back-to-back away game. After a few games, Stephen's statistics are super high. At the same time, in addition to playing time, it also means that he needs to keep shooting. It also needs to compete with the opponent's defense, which is also a great consumption of physical strength.

Although Stephen's current performance on the field does not show how tired he is, Carlesimo feels that this is just Stephen in a normal state. If Stephen is replaced by a physically healthy Stephen, he will definitely not be stalemate with the Grizzlies for such a long time. Moreover, players are also human beings, and they also have desires for scoring.

Stephen's scoring desire should have been almost released in the previous four games. Coupled with physical factors, it is also possible to consider such a low performance in this game. Carlesimo wanted to let Stephen rest for more than half a quarter time, and then give it a go and have another showdown with the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter.

In this half of the quarter, Stephen has increased his score to 24 points and [-] assists at the same time, but it is true that Carlesimo's physical strength is also a little lacking. The serious thing is the lack of energy, and the consequence of insufficient energy is insufficient investment in the game.

Stephen is more willing to pass the ball is also the reason for this, because after passing the ball, he doesn't have to worry about it. Sometimes he doesn't deliberately go lazy, but his physical strength and mental strength make him do it subconsciously. s Choice.

Carlesimo's understanding of Stephen far surpassed anyone else's. Even Vivic didn't know Stephen that well. After all, when he was in the Spurs, Vivic didn't have much time to deal with players.

After being replaced, Stephen sat on the bench and panted heavily while wiping the sweat off his body with a towel. He was not so tired, but this would help his physical strength recover faster. Dele, after taking a few sips, Stephen put it down and continued to observe the situation on the field.

This is a quality that a player must have. If you don’t pay attention to the situation on the court because you are not on the court, but focus on other places, such as caring about your own hair style, wandering around the world, and paying attention to whether the fans on the court are beautiful These, such players usually take a long time to enter the game state after they come on the court or return to the court, and if they don't understand the game situation and opponents, they will naturally not perform well.

Many players who are not bad in physical talent and good in technique do not perform well on the court. The key point is that they are not ready to participate in the game at any time, whether it is psychological or physical. Up.

Jordan is an obvious example in this regard. Before entering the league, although he was very good and led the University of North Carolina to the national championship in the college basketball league, he was not the undisputed first choice. No one could predict He can achieve such a great achievement, otherwise it would not be the Bulls' turn to select him with the No. [-] pick.

In his rookie season, he averaged 28 points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists per game, but at that time Jordan was still very immature, his offensive range was limited to a few points, and his defense was relatively lazy. Good player, but not the best.

In the second season, due to a fracture, Jordan missed most of the regular season games, but after returning to the court, he scored 63 points in the first playoff game against the Celtics. This record is still in the playoffs. The highest scoring record in a single game, and it will be achieved after being absent for nearly a season.

Do you doubt that he was just recuperating quietly when he was injured? When the media revealed that even though Jordan was sitting in a wheelchair, he had to practice shooting every day. In addition to shooting, he was watching the video of the game. , There are also other teams, so all this is understandable.

Since then, his offense has been unstoppable, but all of this is based on his super personal strength and his constant attention to the game. His offense can always attack the opponent's weak defense. In order to stop him, the Pistons The Pistons invented the Jordan rule, that is, as long as Jordan is on the court, the Pistons will always have two or two players double-teaming him, keeping him out of the finals for several consecutive seasons.

In response to the accusation that he can only score, he has seven consecutive triple-doubles and ten triple-doubles in eleven games. Among the players who have triple-doubles, only his triple-doubles are for fighting spirit. , after Stephen played in the fourth quarter, he quickly scored seven points, raised his own score to 31 points, and also increased his own rebounds to 31 points.With more than seven minutes left in the game, Stephen had already scored a triple-double, and it was a large triple-double with [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists.

I don’t know what’s going on, but when he saw Stephen on the field and saw that he was still able to score easily under the double-teaming of two opponents, Carlesimo couldn’t help but think of Jordan. Will he create another Jordan? , Carlesimo couldn't help but look forward to it, hoping this is not a delusion.
