Chapter 39 Your Mistake
"Didi..." On the sidelines, Nelson blew his whistle, ending the lifeless game.

Standing on the sidelines, Nelson pointed to Li Weisi and Price and said, "West, switch with Mark. You will be the substitute team. Mark, you will go to the starting team!"

The two got in without knowing it, but they switched sides and the game continued.

The seemingly inconspicuous substitution this time had an immediate effect. The originally lifeless confrontation game suddenly became fierce. The most obvious change was the offense of the substitute team.

Because after the side change, the substitute team has no offensive strengths, and the technical movements of each player on the substitute team have been roughly understood as early as in the summer. As far as I know, he is just a typical blue-collar power forward.

Therefore, Li Weisi took the initiative to take over the banner of offense, let Duckworth come up to the pick-and-roll as soon as he reached the three-point line, and then took advantage of Malone's lack of pounce, made a three-point jumper and scored.

After opening up the scoring drought for the substitute team, the match between the two teams gradually became more and more lively.

The eyes of the coaches on the sidelines all brightened, and at the same time they couldn't help but look at Frank next to them, and the eyes they showed showed one meaning: Hey, you really know how to play football?

Perhaps knowing his special status, Van Gundy took the initiative to ask Frank: "Frank, your substitution is really a stroke of genius, but how did you know that West would change his style of play?"

Van Gundy's inquiry was naturally what the other teaching assistants wanted to know, and everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to measure the level of their boss.

Frank didn't care, and said with a smile: "I know West's playing style very well. He usually understands the habits of his teammates before playing. As for the teammates of the substitute team, he has already understood it during the summer training. Playing on the bench, Waiters can take much less care, and it is easier to play his original strength."

Frank's explanation only put all the credit on his understanding of Li Weisi. Such a low-key answer took care of everyone's face and made the surrounding teaching assistants feel comfortable listening.

After all, this is not some kind of pretense. If Frank pushes you a little bit and talks about you all, and I don’t know as much as I do, will the coaching staff continue to do it in the future?

Therefore, after such an unobtrusive answer, the coaches' favor for Frank soared. In the past, it may have been for the sake of money, but now, it has gradually transformed into respect for interpersonal communication and professional knowledge.

Nelson, who was standing in the middle, did not change his face, but he admired him very much in his heart. He thought that this young man, who was about the same age as his son, was able to make such a big business. It was not just luck.

At this time, due to the offense of the substitute team on the court, the defense has gradually improved. This is how the game is, sometimes everything goes smoothly. Focused a lot.

No, in this attack, Mullin wanted to do the same thing. After passing Rodman, he was about to make a shot, but Rodman caught him from behind.

Of course, just one block can't explain anything, but Mullin's take-off speed and height seem to be significantly different from the beginning. How long has it been since he played for a while, and his physical fitness has problems?

After Mullin was blocked by Rodman, he was a little annoyed. He felt that his face was very embarrassing. After all, his success in his rookie season last year won him many cheers. How could this kid in front of him be comparable, even though this kid was younger than him? He is still big.

However, after the transfer of the ball, Li Weisi dribbled the ball extremely fast, and because Mullin was caught on the wing, the inside line had not returned to defense at this time, and the frontcourt became a two-on-two.

Li Weisi broke through and passed the ball to Rodman who was running down. The pass was quite in place. Rodman took the ball and jumped up without any pause.

Although Mullin had already returned to the basket at this time, his take-off was not sufficient at all, so he saw Rodman jump up half of Mullin's head, and then slammed the ball into the basket.

After Mullin landed, his body lost his center of gravity, and his back was slammed on the floor. Rodman stood under the basket and roared happily. He would never miss this opportunity to perform.

Li Weisi came to Mu Lin and reached out to pull Mu Lin up with Price, but Mu Lin ignored him and got up from the ground by himself.

The plateau red on his face that had dissipated a little due to the warm-up training had deepened a little at this time. He ignored Li Weisi and Price's concerns, and ran straight to the front court without making a sound.

This time when the starting team was changed to attack, Mullin took the initiative to ask for the ball, changing his previous attitude of being happy with the situation, while Rodman was in high spirits at this time, and he did his part and went all out.

What was originally an insipid intra-team match suddenly began to smell like gunpowder.

Facing Rodman who was defending himself again, Mullin stared at Rodman's ugly face with firm eyes, and made another shot fake, but this time Rodman did not take off.

Seeing that Rodman could not be fooled, Mullin immediately broke through from Rodman's left side. Rodman still did not lose his position, and pressed his body tightly against Mullin to prevent him from throwing himself away. I have to say, Although Rodman's basic skills are rough, his sense of defensive distance is awesome.

When it was found that the breakthrough was no longer possible, Mullin stopped suddenly when he reached the free throw line and was about to shoot. This time he finally succeeded in tricking Rodman. At the same time, because of the stoppage, Mullin could no longer dribble, so he used his left foot as the pivot. Xin rotated his body, avoided Rodman's block, and took off with one foot to shoot.

Although this kind of shooting was a bit impatient and he didn't fully adjust his body, but when Mullin shot from the distance of the free throw line, Mullin was [-]% sure to put the ball in.

At this time, Rodman, who had already started to fall, was unable to move in the air, and could only watch helplessly as Mullin took off and shot.

But when Mullin was about to shoot, he found that the ball in his hand had disappeared.

It turned out that at some point, Li Weisi suddenly appeared beside Mu Lin, and when Mu Lin turned around and was about to jump, he had already cut Mu Lin's ball.

After the steal, Li Weisi ran forward with the ball, but Rodman on the other side galloped away like a wild horse, and he was almost at the opponent's three-point line in the blink of an eye.

Li Weisi didn't stick to the ball, and immediately bypassed Mullin's block, and a long pass fell right in front of Rodman.

Rodman took the ball, ran up, and jumped in one go, and smashed the ball into the basket again.

Seeing Rodman's successful dunk, Li Weisi stopped, and said to Mullin, who was panting with his hands on his hips: "You are too eager to compete with Rodman, but you subconsciously ignore the pass. This is possible, so I can safely release Mark to double-team you, this is your mistake."
