God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 188 The pressure surges
Chang Wei's words made Lewis feel tremendous pressure. He hurried to the team's video analyst to see how his opponent performed in previous games.The more you look at Lewis, the tighter his frown is. Although Thomas doesn't look as flexible as Garnett, his movement speed is not much worse. If this guy insists on one-on-one marking, Lewis really needs to spend a lot of effort to find the right one. The shooting position is not much less difficult than facing Garnett.

Only then did Lewis understand why Chang Wei told him not to be too happy, this is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with.In the previous few games, Lewis still played with ease. First, he only had to face the opponent's substitute players. Second, there were not many inside players in the league who could and dared to defend. That's why he didn't encounter any problems. challenge.

But this time he was facing another formidable opponent, and he didn't know that Chang Wei had already greeted the opponent in private. If he knew the inside story, he would probably be even more tired.But Chang Wei doesn't care whether he is tired or not, with Thomas as a free strong laborer, why don't he test Lewis' physical strength quickly?
Lewis' mental tension lasted until the day of the game. Chang Wei could see it, but he didn't plan to do anything.It’s very boring to always help players solve problems, especially psychological problems. Any great star is good at self-regulation. Although Lewis can’t reach that level, Chang Wei also hopes that he can solve problems by himself .

The pressure was everywhere from the start of the game, at least according to Lewis.Although Thomas only trained under Chang Wei for one season, his progress has not been small, which is largely due to his own talent.After entering the NBA, Thomas still maintained the habit of adding extra training to himself. Although he did not consult Chang Wei, he was able to dig out some items that could continue to be used from his own training plan in college.

This also allows Thomas to play well on both ends of the offense and defense, and when he puts most of his energy on the defensive end, Lewis feels overwhelming pressure.Thomas is very smart, and his physical fitness and speed are also top choices. It is not difficult for him to mark Lewis in the high post, and he even has time to return to the inside to help defend.

Seeing Thomas's relentless pursuit, Lewis also gritted his teeth and started running, his physical strength was crazily lost from the moment the timer was started.However, Lewis' devil training in the past week was not covered, and such a crazy run can't beat him for the time being.However, Thomas' defense made his running positions more cautious, especially when Lewis was interfered with when he shot outside the three-point line for the first time, he became more cautious, and he didn't run out of the open space easily.

The Bucks are not a strong defensive team, but they are mostly young people, and there are basically no veterans over the age of 30 among the starting five tigers, which means that their speed when switching defenses is guaranteed.In addition to facing Thomas, Lewis has to be careful of Glenn Robinson, nicknamed "Big Dog". If he defends, he can also interfere with Lewis's shooting.

Lewis kept running on the field, and he seemed to have found the feeling of running 10 kilometers on the sports field or on the treadmill every morning, but this time it was different, he had to shoot!He worked hard to adjust his breathing rhythm, hoping to slow down the speed of physical exertion, after all, there would be no Chang Wei drink waiting for him later.

Thomas followed closely. Lewis circled two screens in a row before barely finding an open space at a 45-degree angle on the flank. Iverson, who had already reached the inside, passed the ball at the right time.Of course, he wanted to continue rushing to the basket, but the opponent's big center was already waiting for him to throw himself into the net, and now it is the best choice to distribute the ball.

Lewis had a solid grip on the ball, Iverson made a good pass, and the ball flew at a height that any player would be comfortable with, which also meant that Lewis didn't need much adjustment to get his shot.And now it is 5 minutes and 38 seconds after the opening, which also means that Lewis and Thomas played hide and seek for five and a half minutes. He might have been out of breath in any previous game, but today his state There seems to be something different.

When he took off, his legs were very stable and powerful, and the familiar feeling came back when the ball was shot. At least Lewis couldn't find a reason for not scoring this goal.Of course, his greatest confidence comes from Thomas, who was blocked by his teammates twice in a row. He is rushing towards this side with a grim face, but judging from the distance between the two, it is too late.

"Shua!" The sound of a basketball entering the frame is always so wonderful for any pitcher, and Lewis is no exception. He clenched his fist and waved it fiercely in the air, as if to cheer himself up, and his teammates also ran Come over and give him a high five.Lewis glanced at the bench, and Chang Wei was nodding at him with a smile, obviously approving his performance.

Of course, as Lewis' defender, Thomas was a little upset, even if Chang Wei asked him to test Lewis.At that time, he joked about whether to let the water go, but in his heart he was very concerned about the outcome of the game. Speaking of which, it was also a habit he developed in Villanova. Now he was attacked by an opponent with a three-pointer. How do you get better?

However, Thomas still admired Chang Wei's vision. He didn't know where Chang Wei dug out such a wonderful insider.In his opinion, inside players should fight inside with elbows and arms crossed, and score at the basket with fangs and claws, instead of running outside the three-point line to shoot like the guy wearing the No. 7 jersey on the opposite side.

Although Lewis' style of play is not in line with Thomas's aesthetic, he also has to admit that this is a huge threat, if he can maintain a high level of three-point shooting.Thomas is keenly aware that such a player will make the throat of almost all opponents, and only a team with an inside player like himself can compete one or two.

This kind of understanding instantly gave Thomas the urge to see Liexinxie. He no longer only considered the coach's defensive requirements and Chang Wei's instructions before the game, but wanted to really weigh Lewis's weight.But this is just curiosity. If Chang Wei knew what he was thinking, he would pat him on the shoulder and say old-fashionedly: "Tim, don't worry. There will be many, many players of this type in the future. You can challenge them one by one." , can always gain something..."
