Chapter 161 The real power of running in(2/3)
The ball didn't go in.
Humphries protected the rebound.
When the Bobcats retreated, Larry Brown didn't say a word.
The teacher still has the original way of thinking!
Gentry, who saw this scene, also said something in his heart.
Larry Brown is really stubborn.
And this stubbornness is reflected in many aspects of his life, including on the court.
Gentry estimates that to this day, Larry Brown still believes that "defense is everything."
But in fact, in this era, if you want to become a truly strong team, defense and offense are indispensable.
If you want to win the game, the era of relying solely on defense is really over!
"Whoosh!"
The Suns completed an outside shot on the next possession.
The score difference came to 4-0.
Teacher, have you seen it?
Gentry unconsciously glanced at the Bobcats' bench again.
In this round, the Bobcats actually defended well enough. It took the Suns more than ten seconds to find an opening. Fortunately, Ariza took advantage of the opening.
But you can't say the Bobcats' defense failed.
It's just that this era is like this. Changes in rules have weakened the impact that defense can have on the game. Even the defensive quality of the Bobcats cannot stand up to the Suns' constant running tactics on the offensive end.
A team without offense really can't go far in this era!
Unfortunately, this was just Gentry's idea, but Larry Brown thought that the players on the field were slack and did not defend well, so he called a timeout directly.
Then he scolded these guys severely.
"Bang!"
As a result, when they returned to the court, the Bobcats ended the attack with a strike.
Obviously, Larry Brown's curses did not have any positive impact on these guys.
The Suns took advantage of the momentum and completed a 17-7 scoring climax in the next seven or eight minutes. At the end of the first quarter, the Suns had already opened up a 14-point gap.
"..."
Only then did Gentry realize that his teacher seemed really old.
He is still coaching the Bobcats the way he did a few years ago, which may allow the Bobcats to enter the playoffs, but, in Gentry's view, that's all.
Gentry was speechless.
Originally, he regarded this game as a big test.
Unexpectedly, the "examiner" has been eliminated by the times.
So far in this game, he has not felt as much pressure as he did in the last game against the Wizards, who were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats still did not slow down. Although the Suns' state also had ups and downs in the second quarter, they still successfully opened the point difference to more than 15 points.
However, just when Gentry thought the game was going to end like this.
In the second half, the Bobcats suddenly showed resilience, and their defensive quality went to a higher level. Not only did they hold the Suns scoreless for nearly three minutes, but on the offensive end, Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace also successfully attacked the frame.
The score difference was successfully reduced to less than 10 points.
After DJ Augustin hit a three-pointer from the outside, the team narrowed the point difference to 7 points!
This gave the Bobcats the biggest cheer of the game so far.
They were really depressed in the first half!
Michael Jordan's expression in the box did not change much, he remained calm.
In fact, as long as Lin Ri performs well in this game, he will not feel comfortable.
But the problem is that Lin Ri's performance cannot be bad.
Therefore, when he saw the game, he suddenly realized that he was just paying for the pain.
Gentry also finally felt the style of the "Larry Brown" team in the Bobcats' tenacity to chase points!
That’s the flavor!
This is what a team coached by Larry Brown should look like!
Finally it feels like taking an exam...
However, Gentry was not too worried. Even though the current situation on the court was extremely unfavorable to the Suns, he still looked at the court with a calm face and folded his hands on his chest.
He wasn't worried at all, and he wasn't pretending.
But there is something to rely on!
He could see that there was no panic on the faces of Lin Ri and Stephen Curry, and he could also see that Richardson, Ariza and Humphries were still moving very aggressively.
As long as the players on the court don't mess up, he believes they can stop the decline and reverse the situation on the court.
However, he was not in a hurry, but Steve Nash, who was sitting on the sidelines, was a little anxious.
Seeing the team being so close to the score, he could only sit on the sidelines, which was the most unacceptable thing for him.
In fact, the swelling in his ankle has almost subsided. If he didn't feel the pain at all if he didn't run for a long time, he would be able to play. He also decided to play in this game against the Bobcats, but the team doctor and Gent
They still put him on the injured list, and their attitude was that they would wait until he was completely recovered before letting him come back.
Gentry even patted his chest and told him: "Don't worry, the team has no problems at all."
But in the three games the Suns have played recently, they lost 2 and lost 1. The only game they won was through a comeback, and the team they had to come back to win was currently ranked last in the Eastern Conference.
One of the Wizards.
Steve Nash couldn't see any better.
It's just that the team won in the end, so he couldn't say much.
But at this moment, looking at the score that was quickly approaching, Steve Nash made up his mind this time. Once the game was really lost, no matter what Gentry or the team doctor said, he would definitely come back in the next game.
.
He can no longer watch the team lose and do nothing.
Thinking of this, Steve Nash couldn't help but glance at Gentry's back. Seeing that he still looked relaxed, there was some confusion in his eyes - why can this guy be so calm?
"Come on, guys, start running, they can't run anymore!!"
Lin Ri's shouts on the court at this time attracted Steve Nash's attention.
On the court, Stephen Curry handed the ball to Lin Ri, who held the ball in the high post and began to signal his teammates to move.
After several days of continuous training, Lin Ri's command after receiving the ball has become more and more impressive.
Even Steve Nash has to admit this.
"OK, OK! Look here, look here!"
Lin kept pointing his hand to the left, and then gave a loud reminder. But the moment he finished reminding him, he suddenly dribbled the ball and turned around, completely throwing away Diaw behind him. This move, this move is "pretending to direct."
.
Mohammed was attracted to step forward, and Lin Ri did not hesitate to pass the ball to Humphries, who was completely open at this time.
"Boom!"
Humphries dunked easily.
"Nice!"
Lin Ri waited for Humphries to return to defense, then reached out and gave him a high-five.
Isn't this how I play?
Dio looked at Lin Ri, all he could see was himself.
I want to hit one like this too!
Diaw took the ball directly outside the three-point line and drove to Lin Ri's right side.
Unfortunately, Lin Ri's pace was not slower than him, and he successfully intercepted him near the high post. However, Diaw did not panic at all, quickly turned his back, and with his back against Lin Ri, he passed the ball to Stephen Jackson on the outside, who
The shot was released and the ball entered the basket steadily.
The "French Magician" made a comeback.
However, in the next round, Lin Ri and Stephen Curry also had such a cooperation, and the latter successfully responded to Stephen Jackson's shot.
The point difference returned to 9 points.
Stephen Curry has scored 14 points so far and has made 3 three-pointers!
