Chapter 478

"I think our thinking should have changed. The situation is not as bad as we thought. Minnesota is not without a chance of winning." Bai Jidong's performance gave Brin great confidence.

Brown nodded and said: "Yes, if you continue to play like this, Minnesota is likely to reverse, but Pat Riley will not allow this to happen, just wait and see, I believe they will change soon .”

Brin didn't think so, "What Pat Riley is going to do, Larry Brown did it last year. We all saw the result. It is because of the existence of players like the White Wolf that we know What a terrifying energy human beings can burst out in the face of hopeless hopelessness, let us continue to read."

Riley's adjustment surfaced as the timeout ended.He replaced the flamboyant and reckless White Chocolate with Gary Payton, who followed the Sharks for the championship.

The name Payton has always been a shining name from the 90s to the beginning of this century.

The Seattle SuperSonics that Payton was on were full of passion. They had many flaws, but they were scary enough, and their style of play was very different from traditional basketball.

They have great abilities, but their personalities are as hot as fire.Instead of being ahead of their time, they were from another planet entirely.

No team played like the Sonics in the '90s.

In an era of post-ups, singles and slow tempo, the Sonics played like crazy.

Their defense is full of traps and plays non-stop in transition.

Their goal is to force turnovers and make you extremely uncomfortable, and when they get there, they end the round with a dunk or an alley-oop.

Afterwards, they will tell you all about it.

In the era shrouded in Jordan's halo, superstars such as Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and John Stockton missed the championship, but for the Sonics, that period of history is different.

They were regulars in the playoffs for a few years, but then they fell apart.There is no transition period in between.When they were at their peak, they were invincible; but when their era was over, they fell like meteorites, sadly leaving a trail of disgrace in team history.

As the core figure of that legendary team, what kind of person is Payton?Once the best college player in the country, nine NBA defensive first teams, two first team, Defensive Player of the Year. Under these glamorous honors, there is a history of blood and tears of opponents who were defended by him as Havlicek. (Note: Kobe Bryant's previous historical iron king.)
Payton is a jerk who breaks players down with defense and shadows people with trash talk.

His trash talk is often accompanied by shit and fart, which belongs to the dirty-mouthed jerk.Now, he is old, and he gave up his former glory for the championship, and followed the Sharks from the Lakers to the Heat, just for a championship ring.

After replacing Payton, the Heat's outside three are Wade, Payton and Posey.It's an interesting combination. This trio is no worse than the trio of Bai Jidong, Battier, and Ukic.

Bai Jidong may be the strongest defensive player among the six, but Wade Payton Posey's defense is too balanced, and they can switch defenses infinitely and double-team them at will.

They can set traps each turn if they wish.The only question is whether Payton's physical strength can support it?
That's why Riley hid him until now.

Payton played vigorously, defended Ukic, and helped Posey double-team Bai Jidong and Wade at the right time.

The Heat have formed an amazing defensive chain. In terms of defensive toughness alone, the combination of these three is the strongest in the league.

"You think you're playing good? You think you can trash talk me? Let me tell you how you fuckin shit fucked up back to Croatia, I'm gonna piss in your face right now and you'll Tell me what urine smells like!"

Payton finished his trash talking, made a jumper in front of Ukic and made a hit.

Payton's jumper helped the Heat widen the point difference to 17 points.

Payton's trash talk is more famous than his nickname, and Ukic has long been mentally prepared.

He knew Peyton's trash talk would be bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

Such trash talk is undoubtedly unbearable. Ukic wanted to fight back, but was stopped by Bai Jidong: "Don't try to prove anything. What you have to do is to control the rhythm of the game just like you did just now."

"We need to maintain the hit rate, you know? This requires a stable offense. Only when you are stable can our offense be stable. You are the brain." Bai Jidong said earnestly.

No matter how impulsive Ukic is, he will never disobey Bai Jidong, "I understand, don't worry."

Bai Jidong was staring at Posey, and Peyton and Wade beside him were staring at him. They didn't care about their counterparts.

Bai Jidong knew that Riley must have said something to them just now.

A trap is being formed around him, Bai Jidong wants to know what the trap is, so he can try it himself.

If Payton was still in his prime, he probably wouldn't try, but now Payton doesn't have the defense of his prime.

Bai Jidong thought for a while, he could give it a try.

To get into the trap, you have to pass Posey's level.

Posey will definitely want Bai Jidong to fall into the trap, and the defensive end will deliberately show his flaws.

These are all routines, and Bai Jidong often uses them too.

Sure enough, as Bai Weidong tried to dribble, Posey took the risk of stealing, leaving a space for Bai Weidong to break through.

Bai Jidong couldn't understand the defense of inviting the king into the urn like this, he rushed in without hesitation.

Just past Percy, Peyton appeared.

This is the first stage of the trap, giving up on Ukic.

This is due to the instability of Ukic's three-pointer. Bai Jidong controlled the ball and paid attention to Wade's position. Wade was also walking towards him.

They dare not let Battier, because Battier has three points.

After the confrontation, Bai Jidong roughly understood the whole content of this trap.

The double-teamer was changed, and Williams was replaced by Payton.

This increases the aggression of partial double-teaming and the diversity of rotation defense. These three can defend from the first position to the third position, and they are almost born for rotation defense.

Bai Jidong passed the ball to Ukic.

If Ukic can make a goal, Payton would not dare to double-team him like this.

After Ukic hesitated, he made a three-pointer.

Although he has practiced three-pointers for a whole season, his shooting still hasn't improved much.

This is also normal, Ukic does not adapt to the NBA's three-point line.

The three-pointer with high hopes left a sigh with a loud iron strike.

O'Neal caught the rebound, threw it to Payton, and was about to counterattack, but Bai Jidong and his teammates had already returned to defense.

The Timberwolves' defensive toughness has always been praised. This is the team culture that Bai Jidong and Garnett spent two seasons painstakingly building.

After two seasons, the Timberwolves' offensive and defensive system has been established.

Their defensive structure, overall defense, tacit rotation, and defensive speed are all top in the league.

The integrity of the defense requires a lot of mutual understanding. If you are not familiar with each other, it will be difficult to defend in place.

The Timberwolves' defensive system is mature, and there are two defensive cores as pillars.

The problem now is that only one of the two pillars remains.

The inside line is a big problem. Olowokandi has four fouls on his back, and the defense dare not use it.

This is also Riley's arrangement during the timeout, focusing on attacking the Timberwolves' restricted area.

Wade's cut is very fast, fully worthy of his nickname.

Payton's ball is also fast, one hit the ground, the man arrives and the ball arrives.Wade picked up the ball and was about to dunk again. After hesitating, Olowokandi jumped up to block the shot.

This is an instinctive reaction, and he no longer cares about whether he commits a foul or not.

Wade's dunk was blocked, but it was not in vain. He caused Olowokandi's fifth foul.

Olowokandi was as out of control as Garnett. He could swear on anyone's name that his blocks were clean and he didn't touch Wade.

How could the referee care about him? He blew his whistle and stared at him coldly. If he refuses to accept it again, he will give it to T.

Bai Jidong rushed up to hold him back, "Sir, this guy recently lost his love and has a bad temper, please forgive me."

"Bai Lang, take care of your team members!" The referee didn't take a good look at Bai Jidong either.

"Yes, I will keep him under control."

Bai Jidong took Olowokandi aside and said angrily, "Do you want to go down to rest? Hmm? It's fine for the foul. Why are you fighting with the referee?"

"I didn't foul!" Olowokandi was still struggling.

"Michael Olowokandi, how many years have you been in the NBA?"

"I"

"answer me!"

"8."

"Very good, you have been playing for 8 years, but you still don't know what the referee decided is unchangeable, and you still want to use your emotions to let the referee know that he made a wrong decision. Do you think this is useful?" Bai Jidong stared at him: "What do you think this can save?"

"I" Olowokandi is speechless.

"You should know your importance better than anyone else." Bai Jidong wanted to beat him up: "If you are sent off, do you want old Kevin to defend Shaq? Or let Wayne defend?"

The sound of substitutions came from the sidelines, and Old Willis played again. He replaced Olowokandi.

When Olowokandi came off the field, he kept apologizing to his teammates, and everyone said it was okay.

The more this happened, the more Olowokandi blamed himself.

He should have continued to fight with them, but now he fell into a foul crisis because of impulsiveness.

Old Willis walked on the court, only feeling like a dream.

In any case, he never expected to be reused in the finals. As the only player on the team who can match O'Neal in size, he is under tremendous pressure.

"Kevin Willis continues to write the old legend, let's see how far he can play." Breen said.

Looking at Old Willis, Brown sighed: "Twenty years ago, I watched Kevin's game for the first time. Now, players of his generation have all retired, and he is still giving off heat in the finals. He is really An admirable player."

"May the god of basketball favor him, and hope that he can show the face of the older generation of players." Brin said.

Wade made two free throws, and the point difference returned to 19 points.

The point difference still made people despair, Bai Jidong threw the ball to Old Willis: "Kevin, I'm a little depressed."

"You will be depressed?" Old Willis looked in disbelief.

"Please tell me a few examples of big reversals, I need to increase my confidence." Bai Jidong said.

"It is said that in the finals 11 years ago, the Magic once led the Rockets by 20 points, and was finally reversed by the great Hakeem Olajuwon." Old Willis opened his mouth.

"This is good, I also thought of a game."

Bai Jidong said: "MJ's "Flu War", the Jazz once led us by 16 points, and we also reversed in the end."

"So, what have you got to be upset about?" asked Old Willis.

"No." Bai Jidong shook his head.

Old Willis patted Bai Jidong's buttocks: "Then use all your strength to get back the points!"
