Chapter 699 Almost succeeded
Snyder was surprised. Tang Shuai had never shown a throwing move before, but after all, he had been coaching in the league for many years and his mentality was easily adjusted, and he only regarded it as a temporary performance.
When the team was defending and turning to offense, he shouted on the sidelines to signal Gobert to improve his defensive attention.
In the Jazz's offense, Millsep wanted to play at a low post. Noel's assisting defense was in place. He finally failed to get a good chance to make a phone shot. Finally, he made a strong three-pointer to Hayward, and the rebound was turned and caught by Noel.
The basketball was passed to Tang Shuai's hand, and he pushed the ball into the frontcourt. Before the Jazz's defense could be fully restored, he accelerated and rushed into the rush.
Snyder shouted on the sidelines, Gobert shrank the basket, and Millsep took the lead and defended.
Tang Shuai accelerated and changed direction, using his speed advantage to pass Mircep. Seeing that Gobert was still huddled under the basket, he took a big step forward, half a meter away from Gobert, and it was directly a high throw.
Gobert saved to defend, but the shot point was too high, and even his long arm could not block it.
The basketball went high over Gobert's fingertips and fell straight downward after reaching the highest point.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Tang Shuai's throw hit again!
"How is that possible?!" Snyder looked shocked. Tang Shuai actually scored twice in a row with a move he had never used before.
Although it's only three things to say, it's enough to prove that such a thing happened twice. Tang Shuai has the technology of throwing and throwing.
In fact, Snard is indeed very careful. After synthesizing the skill package, Tang Shuai's current breakthrough power is much weaker than last season, especially because there is no high-level layup package and Westbrook's existence, he rarely breaks into the inside in the new season.
He noticed this, so he made targeted defense on defense, mainly against Tang Shuai. If this were a few days ago, it would have been effective as defending Westbrook.
But there is a saying that people are not as good as God is. He probably never expected that Tang Shuai suddenly had such strong throwing skills.
The Jazz's offense returned in vain again. When they returned to the defensive end, the Jazz still maintained their previous strategy. This time, Tang Shuai was even more thorough. He did not call a teammate to run, and even called a pick-and-roll. He directly pressed Hill into the free throw line. He stopped and pushed Hill with his strength. After he started, he threw another throw, and there was still a shot!
Snyder couldn't sit still at this moment, so he got up and called for a pause.
When Tang Shuai was out, the fans suddenly burst into cheers of extremely excited. Snyder swore before the game that he wanted to limit Tang Shuai and Westbrook, but as soon as the game started, he was slapped hard by reality.
After the timeout, Snyder adjusted his defensive strategy, and his defensive formation was generally out of bounds, but Gobert's defense was obviously more outward.
However, this did not bring the effect he wanted, and the French sports car throwing bag possessed more than this.
In the Lakers' offense, Tang Shuai got rid of Hill's defense and rushed to the basket. Facing Gobert who was snatching it, he leaned up and turned around with Gobert as the axis to get around the blocking. Then, before turning completely, he swung his hand and made another small throw.
Gober's eyes followed suit, and his hands were significantly slower when his body was pressed.
"Bang!"
After the basketball took action, he played on the rebound along the track and then bounced into the net bag.
Gobert, who had not been covered, seemed very upset and even slapped himself.
Tang Shuai looked at Gobert with a smile, then turned around and ran back.
In addition to the long-distance throwing in the offense, Parker's throwing also has another move, which is to rotate the top in place. The move in the rotation is very difficult to predict.
Snyder was really stunned now.
Tang Shuai not only knows this throwing, but also knows it very well.
There was a huge loophole in his prediction.
Although the NBA coach has a high level, it is difficult to deal with it in the game if the arrangement is completely wrong before the game.
The Jazz were slapped by Tang Shuai at the beginning. The defense they depended on for survival did not work, and the trend of the game was decided. Although Snyder made another arrangement of the defense at halftime, Tang Shuai's performance could not be restricted.
127 to 110, the Lakers finally won their rivals at home, won the 11th victory of the season, and successfully achieved 11 consecutive victories, which is considered to be a seven-game winning streak in the preseason. They have not lost for more than a month.
In the whole game, Westbrook scored a triple-double with 18 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. Gasol was old and strong and contributed 16 points and 9 rebounds. In addition, Stephenson and Batum also scored in double digits, and a total of 5 players in the team scored in double digits.
However, the biggest contributor to the victory in this game was obviously Tang Shuai. He made 28 shots in the game, hitting 18 of them, including 7 throws, and scored a game-high 43 points.
At the press conference after the game, the team sought after Tang Shuai's performance and even made Snyder's remarks before the game, comparing it with the dual-core performance of this game.
Tang Shuai was unprecedentedly calm about the reporter's words. He said bluntly: "There are 82 regular season games in the league, and we have to face different opponents every night. I know our opponents will study us, study Russell, and other players, but in fact, we are also doing this kind of thing. Coach Quinn is a good coach, but in fact, he almost succeeded."
Almost succeeded!
The reporters didn't feel much about these remarks, but after the media made it happen, it immediately aroused strong response from the fans.
Blue Wind and Snow Strike: Basketball is a sport of five people, but when one of them is too strong than the others, and even if a defensive system cannot be defended, it will become another sport. Just like Michael Jordan did, really, what Tang Shuai said is right. Snyder is an excellent enough coach. This can be seen from his tactical arrangement and adjustment in the game. He is just like other coaches, but he is not able to limit Tang Shuai, really!
Yi Cun, Time: To be honest, do you think Tang Shuai can really be defended now? More than 60% of the three-pointers were hit, more than 60% of the two-pointers were hit, and the low-post back hit was stable compared to the backwards. Now there is such a difficult-to-defend ecstasy. I have no other problem. The question is, can this really be defended?
Free bookshelf: No, in fact, any player has weaknesses, there is no doubt that even as strong as the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan, his three-pointers have always been poor, and of course Tang Shuai also has his weakness, his own! Although he is not as stable as a human, in fact, he may still be in poor condition!
...
Tang Shuai is in excellent form and has performed strongly in the next match against the Nuggets and Heat.
Under the leadership of him and Westbrook, the Lakers continued to work hard and won an amazing 13 consecutive victories!
In just two months, the Lakers' Two Young Masters, Tang Shuai and the Lakers have become the hottest team in the league. Because of Tang Shuai's existence, it is even more eye-catching than Tang Shuai's Warriors team.
After 13 games, Tang Shuai averaged 34.2 points per game, scoring 5 points ahead of second-place Harden, which was completely crushing.
His strong performance has also attracted unanimous praise from the media and experts.
From the doubts he encountered when he entered the league at the beginning, to the disapproval of the All-Star vote, and even the injustice he encountered in the Best Rookie selection, none of this stopped him from moving forward.
Step by step, he kept correcting himself with his continuous improvement performance, and also made those who questioned and looked down on him change his views step by step.
Kenny Smith is the most typical example. At the beginning, he and Barkley joked that Tang Shuai was not much different from other rookies at that time, but when Tang Shuai was controversially selected for the MVP in the rookie season, he expressed his dissatisfaction. Although he didn't know where this feeling came from, he did become Tang Hei for a long time. However, as time went by, Tang Shuai's performance became more and more advanced, and his gentleman performance in the face of the media and fans made him begin to reflect. After that, he naturally turned into a fan and turned into a black man.
This time, Shuai Tang and Westbrook led the Lakers to such a strong performance, and he also praised him without hesitation: we witnessed a team with different styles not long ago (Warriors), which let us know that shooting can also bring championships, but this season, we have seen another possibility, which is somewhat retro (dual cores), but it seems like it has never been (dual cores on the outside). But Don and Russell are proving with one night after another, proving that we are all witnesses of history at this moment.
Smith is just one of many commentators, Weber, O'Neal, etc., they have been moved by Tang Shuai step by step with his performance.
In the new MVP ranking list, Tang Shuai finally defeated Durant, Curry, James and others and became the number one person on the list.
This is also the first time he has appeared in this position in his career, and his influence in the league has reached a new level.
Like Curry's existence at the beginning, Tang Shuai felt a vague taste of becoming the number one person in the new league.
But at this moment, a comment from Old Barry caused an uproar.
"Tang is very stable, but he is not a truly outstanding scorer. Although it is wrong to use three years of career to determine a person, his highest score in his career is only 53 points, and he only achieved one game. A player who relies on scoring has only such results. He obviously cannot become the number one person in the league." (To be continued.)
