unfinished glory

Chapter 191
After the timeout, Li Chongxiao made a free throw and scored 11 points personally. The Grizzlies trailed the Spurs by 32 points at 41:9.

Ginobili waved, after receiving the pass, took a tentative step, and hit a three-pointer over Battier's head, and the point difference was widened to 12 points.

In the next round, Li Chongxiao habitually took the ball to prepare for singles, and found that the Spurs had resumed their defensive strategy at the beginning of the first quarter, focusing on marking themselves.

He is not afraid of this kind of defensive intensity. Three people defending such a large open space have every reason to shoot.But thinking of the coach saying that winning depends on his teammates, he still passed the ball patiently.

Conley was very upbeat and made a 2-pointer.The rest of the teammates behind couldn't do it. Although Li Chongxiao attracted the defense and left all kinds of good opportunities, he just couldn't score.

The Spurs took advantage of the situation and played a wave of 8:0, extending their lead to 18 points.

Li Chongxiao played very awkwardly on the court. He had already done everything he could, and he forced a single without the ball, but the team fell further and further behind.

When the Spurs scored a goal to make the score 54:34, Carlisle couldn't sit still and called a timeout in advance. He probably knew the team's problem.

The Grizzlies have undergone too many changes this season, and their tactics are built around Li Chongxiao's technical characteristics.Li Chongxiao is an attacker, not an organizer. Most of the team's organizational tasks are shared by Gasol and Conley.

Gasol was injured and couldn't play, and Conley was a little immature at the moment and couldn't completely replace him, so Carlisle let Li Chongxiao replace him.

But this is a new lineup, and everyone has finally gotten used to some tactics and passes from the inside. Now Li Chongxiao, who has become an outsider, will naturally feel a little uncomfortable.

Carlisle doesn't say some things, but Li Chongxiao also knows that as the boss, only other players study their own catching and shooting habits, and he has never paid attention to his teammates' catching and running habits.

Popovich is an old fox, and it is easy to see the problem of the Grizzlies. The wrong tactics have curbed Li Chongxiao's offense and made him turn to an organization that he is not good at. Naturally, both the players and the team played awkwardly.

This problem can't be solved for a while, it has to be slowly adjusted, and the top priority is how to win this game.

Seeing Carlisle frowning, Li Chongxiao couldn't sit still, and said to everyone: "Don't get entangled, let's play Kobe tactics! In any case, we can't enter the second half with a big point difference."

……

There were only 3 minutes left in the first half of the game. After entering the field, Li Chongxiao raised his hand and gestured for a "1". The audience was in a commotion.

During the opening game, Li Chongxiao just counted from one to five, and then defeated the Spurs.Some viewers didn't care about being reserved, and started shouting "Traitor (traitor)" again.

This kind of attack had some effect the first time he yelled, but now Li Chongxiao has become an old fritter and turned a deaf ear to it.After getting the ball, he faced Bowen and observed the Spurs' defensive formation while dribbling.

Taking a step inside, Ginobili who was near the center circle shrank back. Li Chongxiao moved a step to the right, making a gesture to pass to Mike Miller in the center circle, and Ginobili turned his head quickly.

But this was just a fake move, Li Chongxiao didn't think about breaking through, nor could he pass the ball.After pulling the center of gravity of Ginobili and Bowen, he stepped back and stood outside the three-point line and shot.

The ball hit the iron, the rebound was still taken by Duncan, and the Spurs organized the offense calmly.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies had just mobilized and worked together to defend the Spurs' ball.

Li Chongxiao dribbled the ball by himself. From the backcourt, he stretched out his right hand and made a "V" sign, indicating that he would play No. [-] tactics.

The teammates pulled away. After Li Chongxiao started, he was still double-teamed by Bowen and Parker, and his jump shot near the free throw line was short again.

The Spurs seized the opportunity and widened the point difference to 22 points.

When it was the turn of the Grizzlies to attack, Li Chongxiao stretched out three fingers, the number three tactic.This time, the teammates talked even more, so that the Spurs didn't know how to defend. They deliberately continued to double-team, and Li Chongxiao could create an open pass with any pass.

Li Chongxiao didn't care about the opponent's hesitation, he still rushed to the free throw line and just made an emergency stop jumper, and this time he finally made it.

During this period, he didn't look at his teammates' positions at all. If he knew the inner activities of the Spurs players, he would definitely sneer:

Once the "Kobe Tactic" starts, you can't stop. Even if you miss 30 balls, you have to keep shooting.

The No. [-] tactic was finished, and the No. [-] tactic came as scheduled. This time Li Chongxiao chose to break through.The teammates opened up such a large gap, and it would be a waste of everyone's kindness not to go in and make a backhand layup.

The point difference returned to 18 points, and both sides had a chance to attack.

The Spurs still controlled the ball until the time was almost over, and then Parker slid to the baseline and made a throw, which was missed.The rebound was taken by Gasol Jr.

In the remaining 13 seconds, Li Chongxiao must be playing singles, so he doesn't need to think about anything.

Li Chongxiao still stretched out his palm and gestured a No. [-] tactic, leaving the players on the field speechless for a while.He dribbles outside the arc, goes left to right, and right back to left.

There were only 3 seconds left in the time, and then the three Spurs players all rushed out. They forgot for a while, those ultra-long three-pointers that Li Chongxiao once made.

Li Chongxiao was in a very casual state, so naturally he couldn't be disturbed. A slightly backward three-pointer, like a sharp arrow, passed through the Spurs' net.

……

0.5 seconds for the Spurs can't make any big waves. Ginobili's push ball missed the frame, and the two sides returned to the locker room with a 15-point difference.

During the intermission, the commentators and the audience were not talking about Li Chongxiao's ultra-long three-pointer, but the "digital tactics" he used on the court.

When this tactic was implemented, the final result was that Li Chongxiao played singles, and the other players didn't even touch the ball, but why did they make one to five gestures? Is there any hidden meaning or story in it?
The performances of the two sides in the locker room were also different. The winning Spurs looked like they were losing. Popovich lashed out at several defenders, thinking that they did not complete the task well, so Li Chongxiao was in the end. At the critical moment, he scored 7 points and scored 20 points at halftime.

Duncan wanted to say a few words for his teammates, but he held back after thinking about it.After he is getting old, he is no longer the most important one on the team.Now the loudest voice in the team is already Popovich.

The visiting team's locker room is much more harmonious, and it doesn't look like they are 15 points behind.

The Grizzlies don't have a winning culture, and Carlisle and Li Chongxiao didn't mean to blame everyone. Now everyone is talking and laughing.

For Carlisle, it's better to win this game, and it's not a pity to lose. He already knows the problem of the team, and he can just prescribe the right medicine in the training from the wire.

There are 82 games in the regular season, and it is still in the opening period. Winning or losing a game does not affect the overall situation.

Li Chongxiao let go here, since he can't organize well, he can do it himself.He can beat the Cavaliers, the Lakers, and the Spurs with his offense.
