Chapter 160 Thank you for your text message(3/4)
"Get out of class quickly, idiot, my son can draw two strokes on the tactical board more effectively than you!"
As Gentry walked through the tunnel back to the locker room, his ears were filled with such trash talk.
It's hard for Gentry to say anything. After all, in the NBA, if a player doesn't perform well, it's normal for the coach to take the blame. It's his final bottom line not to hit him with an empty bottle.
"Guys, in 10 minutes, I hope to hear an effective change of formation!!"
Of course, he himself knows that if he wants to avoid being scolded, he must reverse the game in the second half, otherwise he will die even worse after the game. And in the current situation of the Suns, if they want to win, they must change their formation.
But an effective set of formation changes is so ideal!
The teaching assistants were all scratching their heads and had no idea at all.
It was Gentry who first stated the key point of the change: "First we have to let Stephen Curry score more points!"
The only one who is performing particularly poorly in the Suns is Stephen Curry, so before changing the formation, we must first let him play as confidently as usual!
"You can ask Trevor and the others to pick and roll him. This is how Stephen played when he was in college. Playing this way must be the rhythm he is most familiar with!"
As soon as he spoke, assistant teachers immediately followed up with suggestions.
Let Stephen Curry play the same screen-and-shooting style he did at Davidson.
This proposal was approved by Gentry.
But then there is a question...who will control the ball?
You can't put Dragic and Stephen Curry on the court at the same time. Then the defense in the backcourt will be impossible to watch. Moreover, Dragic's style of play requires too much possession of the ball, and the sun can easily become a tool.
people.
This definitely won't work...
So who can do it?
Gentry frowned slightly.
- Man, I think The Sun looks like Chris Webber, what do you think?
Suddenly, he thought about the message Steve Kerr sent him.
A sharp slap on the thigh.
yes!
You can let the sun provide support!
This guy is very capable!
Why didn’t I think of it earlier!
That’s it!
Gentry said to the assistant coaches: "Listen to me, in the second half we..."
After hearing Gentry's idea, several assistant teachers nodded and thought they could give it a try.
Then Gentry said directly in front of all the Suns players: "In the second half, the sun, I hope you will move to the high position more. Stephen, you have to give the ball to the sun as soon as possible and let him organize the offense. Then you
His main task is to run, how you ran without the ball at Davidson University, for the rest of the game, you will run how you did, others listen, give Stephen Curry more cover!"
If Gentry pays a little attention, you can see that Stephen Curry suddenly relaxed a lot when he heard that he was not needed to organize the offense.
Obviously, for the current Stephen Curry, letting him take action has never been a problem, but if he alone decides how to play tactics, when to pass the ball, when to take action by himself, and when to hold on, it is really too difficult.
It’s even harder than Sanwu!
Then he finally no longer had to torture himself.
…
The Suns fans at the scene were waiting for halftime to end. They had never felt as miserable as tonight this season.
They were eager to know what kind of changes Gentry made during halftime.
Or, is there a change of formation?
Because I really can’t afford to lose!
If you lose again, it will be three consecutive defeats!
When the Wizards returned to the scene, probably because they were leading in the first half, their expressions seemed a little more relaxed than in the first half. The sight of them made the Phoenix fans on the sidelines feel heavy.
The Wizards were already in good shape in the first half, and now that their mentality is still so good, their performance in the second half can't be better!
The Suns are going to be even harder to beat!
Why!
While they were sighing inwardly, the second half of the game officially began. The Wizards hit a three-pointer from the outside, directly extending the point difference to double digits.
This three-pointer made a big sigh from the audience.
Some Suns fans even said in their hearts: It's over, this game is over.
"It's okay, take your time, use our tactics, and we can respond to their goals!"
Gentry was not in a hurry. After clapping to attract the attention of the players on the field, he shouted loudly.
On his way back to the scene from the locker room, the more he thought about his change of formation, the more feasible it became.
At this moment, I feel that as long as the Suns implement the tactics he deployed, with their ability, it will be easy to reverse the Wizards!
Even now they are 11 points behind.
Stephen Curry quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Lin Ri who moved to the high post. Then he started running without the ball as Gentry said. Ariza and Richardson also followed the tactics.
After setting a screen for him, Curry soon ran out of the open space. Lin Ri showed his excellent vision at this time. The first time Curry ran out of the open space, a through ball was passed to Curry.
The "elementary schoolboy" picked it up and voted.
"Whoosh!"
The ball simply hit the net and made a crisp sound.
This is also a three-pointer.
The score difference returned to 8 points.
There was a huge cheer at the scene. In the eyes of the Suns fans, this was not just a three-pointer, it was a reassurance.
You know, in the past two games plus the first half of this game, there are not many scenes of Stephen Curry making such decisive shots and scoring goals so cleanly.
This made some Suns fans whisper: Problem solved?
No one answered their question.
But the Suns' smooth offensive screen again in the next round told them that this problem has indeed been solved!
"Force the rookie, don't let him take the ball and direct the team's movements!"
The Wizards head coach still has two skills. In two rounds, he saw that the Suns' current playmaker has changed from Stephen Curry to Lin Ri.
He quickly asked the Wizards players facing Lin Ri to force Lin Ri so that he could not pass the ball with ease.
But now Lin Ri's dribbling ability has already reached B- level, and he is about to reach B level. Even ordinary pressure can make him unable to dribble.
Lin Ri turned his back to the person who was forcing him, pushed his butt, and easily separated the guy's interfering hand. He continued to move at a leisurely pace, waiting for a Suns player to run out of space.
This time it's Ariza.
Lin Ri quickly threw the ball over.
"Whoosh!"
Ariza hit the ball.
The score difference unknowingly returned to within 5 points.
At this time, 1 minute and 54 seconds had passed in the third quarter, not even two minutes, and the Suns' entire offensive performance was as if they were a completely different team.
The auditorium at the scene has also returned to its previous liveliness, and cheers of all kinds can be heard endlessly.
Gentry looked at the field with a pretentious look on his face, "Look, let me tell you, it will definitely work!"
The Suns suddenly exerted their strength, and the Wizards were obviously stunned. They gradually revealed the true appearance of their weak team. They couldn't score on offense and couldn't defend on defense.
Very soon!
With Stephen Curry shooting a three-pointer.
The Suns reversed the point difference and officially became the leading team!
At this time, only more than 5 minutes had passed in the third quarter.
After Lin Ri hit Stephen Curry's goal, he reached out and gave Stephen Curry a hard blow on the head.
Stephen Curry almost got kicked out because of this.
But he looked very excited.
The happiness is beyond words.
During this time, he found himself again, how could he be unhappy!
To be continued...
