Chapter 200 Unexpected Lineup!
The second grade called a timeout adjustment, and they changed their play style. They adopted a combination of internal and external methods, which made the first grade lose sight of the other. They also played a small climax and evened the score again. After all, it is a temporary team, and the offense can be relied on. Talent, but the defense is not able to see results in a short time.

There is no lack of talent in the second grade. Beasley, Mayo, Westbrook, Love, and Gasol all have extremely high talents. Even if some people have not been recognized at this time, but in later generations It seems that these guys can play together how star-studded.

Beasley and Love made efforts at the same time. After all, the first-year insiders are relatively weak. Love pulls out from the three-point line. In Slee's singles, no one could protect the frame. In addition, Mayo and Westbrook repeatedly hit the basket, and the first grade lost steadily.

At the end of the second quarter, the first grade fell behind by 6 points.

Jeff Van Gundy, Mike Breen and Mark Jackson discussed the matter during halftime.

"The first-year rookie Sheng is good at shooting outside, but the inside is weak, while the second-year has strong inside capital, and the striker has Beasley as an offensive master, although Gatsby and Tyreke Evans teamed up to suppress The backcourt of the second grade, but this is not enough, to beat the second grade, they have to show more ability." Mark Jackson said.

"There is only De Juan as a center in the first grade. It is not known how much physical strength he has after two quarters. In my opinion, as time goes by, the inside line of the first year will suffer more and more, and the inside line will collapse. The freshmen will still follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, this year is estimated to be the eighth time that the first grade will lose to the second grade, and an extra year of training is crucial." Mike Breen said.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled and said, "Don't talk so early, you two, look at Gatsby's statistics, 21 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals at halftime, can you see anything?"

Mike Brin wondered: "This data is normal for Gatsby. It is already a very good data. Is there any problem?"

Jeff Van Gundy smiled: "It's a big problem. After all, the Rookie Challenge is not a very important game. Judging from Gatsby's performance on the court, he didn't play at all. With some good shots, he hasn't exploded in scoring yet. The scary thing about Gatsby is not that he can send nearly ten assists per game, nor that he can get close to three steals, let alone his impressive picture. As for his inferiority complex, the most frightening thing about him is his scoring ability!

To him, scoring [-] points in one quarter is like making no shots. I guess he won't have too many shots in the next third quarter. He will focus on breaking out in the fourth quarter and make a fatal blow! "

Sure enough, Gatsby didn't score much in the third quarter. In this quarter, he scored 3 assists and pushed the score to 30 points. The second grade's shooting percentage was declining, and the two sides tied the score at the end of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Gatsby rested off the court for the first half of the quarter, and the second grade began to explode. At the end of the half quarter, the point difference was stretched to 6 points. A timeout was called, and a strange lineup came on.

Freshmen on the court: Gatsby, Stephen Curry, Tyreke Evans, Jonas Jerebko and Taj Gibson.

What kind of strange lineup is this?
"Is Dantley crazy? With three guards, two forwards, and no center, has he completely given up on interior defense? How can this lineup withstand the impact of sophomores on the interior?" Mike Breen said dumbfounded. .

Mark Jackson thought for a while: "This is the ultimate small lineup. Dantley gave up DeJuan, who was too physically exhausted. Anyway, he didn't have much energy anymore. It's better to replace him with Jerebko, who has more physical strength. Give it a try. As for the three defenders on the field, it depends on how they defend. I estimate that they will use unlimited defense changes, use speed and footsteps to defend the opponent, and then partially flank the opponent, using the high-speed rotation of small men to limit the opponent. This may be a new method. Thoughts, but it is certain that we will suffer losses on the inside, and I hope that the offense can be played, otherwise the first grade will lose."

Jeff Van Gundy, who is good at defense, agreed with Mark Jackson: "This is a desperate lineup. If the offense is not good, there is a high probability that the first grade will lose the game. Their defensive thinking may have merit, but it is too difficult to achieve. .

Love, the center, likes to pull away from the three-point line. Jerebko's follow-up is not a big problem. The main thing is who will defend Beasley here. Gibson must defend to defend the taller Gallinari. Whether it is Evans, Curry or Gatsby who are defending this point of Slee, they are all misplaced. I think this is a big problem! "

After he came back, he had the ball in the second grade. The three commentators saw Gatsby defending Beasley for the first time. They all looked at each other. Beasley was 6 feet 10 inches (208cm) tall and weighed 235 pounds (106.6 kg ), while Gatsby is only 193cm, 83kg, a full 15cm height gap and 23kg weight gap, how should Gatsby defend?

But then they saw that Gatsby used the forward defense to deal with Beasley. Because of Beasley's obvious advantage, the second grade came up to find this dislocation. Gatsby circled forward, and they could only choose to pass , After Beasley received the ball, he found that Jerebko inside had already flanked him, and Love was emptied from the three-point line. Beasley hesitated. Love had a three-pointer, but it was not too accurate. Should I give it.

When Beasley hesitated, he was blocked by Jerebko and Gatsby, but he was taller than Gatsby, and it was still possible to pass the ball outside, but it was obviously not that simple. Beasley passed When the ball was played, Evans had already rotated, and Beasley's passing route was cut off. Evans broke the ball and immediately launched a fast break. Westbrook hurried back to block Evans' breakthrough route.

Evans was not in a hurry. He waited for Gatsby to come over, and then gave the ball to Gatsby. Gatsby then passed the ball to Curry. He got into the crowd and found Gibson's cover. Beasley's defensive attitude Sometimes people admire, sometimes people can't wait to throw him into the river, just one screen, Beasley was got rid of by Gatsby, Gatsby ran to the bottom corner, Curry passed the ball very quickly, Gatsby Than immediately took off the moment he caught the ball, shot a three-pointer, and hit it!

Personal No.30 three points!

The point difference is approaching 3 points!
The sophomores didn't feel the crisis yet. They thought it was just an ordinary mistake. Even ESPN only praised the freshman's active defense without realizing anything.
