God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 238 Pick and Roll
The fans of the Bucks are very entangled in the situation on the field. The scene of the two sides fighting each other is really good, but now the home team is obviously at a disadvantage. The fans are vacillating between the excitement of the game and the final victory. .

In fact, Karl was a little ecstatic at the beginning of the game, because he felt that his three major shooters were in good condition in this game, and he thought the team could win this game.But after Brown replaced Reid, the firepower of the 76ers suddenly rose to a higher level, which made the Bucks feel a lot of pressure. In their first home game of this series, no one wants to lose.

However, in many cases whether to lose or not is not determined subjectively by the players. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the 76ers, they quickly became the lagging side, and it seems that the point difference is about to widen further.Karl can only call a timeout to arrange tactics for the players. He really doesn't want to see the team lose to the same opponent again in a confrontation.

"Tim, we need you to go to the high post to set a screen, and then don't attack the inside again. I don't want to see your layup being slapped outside the bottom line by others. After pulling to the outside line, you You can drive, you can pass, you can do anything you think you can do, just remember not to make mistakes and give the opponent a chance to counterattack."

Thomas smiled and said: "Can you shoot directly coach? I think I can do something in terms of three-point shooting."

Carl shook his head and said: "I know your range is very long, Tim, but let's leave it to the professionals to shoot three-pointers. I hope you can transfer the ball to their hands near the free throw line in time. !"

Thomas' eyes darkened for a moment, he nodded and did not speak.He is very confident in his three-point shooting, but Karl has always pinned his hopes on Ray Allen and the others. Is there no place for a power forward like himself in this team?He couldn't help turning his attention to Lewis, who was also listening carefully to the head coach's tactics, and then secretly sighed, when will he be able to have Lewis's position among the 76ers in the Bucks?
After the game restarted, the 76ers players were surprised to find that the Bucks started to play pick-and-rolls. Although it is not surprising that shooting-type teams play pick-and-rolls, the Bucks really rarely used such routines before. In many cases, it relies on the stars to directly hold the ball for singles, or to create shooting space by constantly moving the ball.

Thanks to the existence of Chang Wei, everyone knows that the power forward in the Bucks is actually a guy with the same range as Lewis, and he has a tough style that Lewis does not have.So when Thomas pulled up to the high post to set a screen, every 76ers player was ready, and Lewis was of course the most nervous one.He was educated by Thomas during the first match in the regular season, and it would be a bit difficult for him to defend now.

But Lewis quickly discovered that this was a very leisurely task, because Thomas received the ball after the screen and did not shoot, but re-passed to another teammate.At first Lewis thought he was just here to confuse himself, but after a few rounds he found that Thomas really didn't shoot, and his defensive enthusiasm suddenly dropped a lot.

Thomas did want to follow Carl's instructions, but in the final analysis he was an offensive player. Facing Lewis's paperless defense, he couldn't suppress his desire to shoot.When the ball belonged to the Bucks again, Thomas received the ball after the screen, but he no longer intends to pass it out. Instead, he chooses to shoot directly when Lewis is completely standing in place like a stake. Basketball is like Obediently got into the basket as if he had eyes.

Looking at Lewis who was stunned in place, Brown jumped up from his chair and shouted at the court: "Rashad! Keep your attention, okay? If he shoots easily in front of you again, I think I have to consider a replacement!"

Lewis was flushed with shame. He didn't really care if Brown would replace him. He just felt that he was too embarrassed just now. Who stipulated that Thomas didn't shoot the first time and then the second, third, fourth, and fifth times. What about not shooting?I still took it for granted, so I easily gave up the shot space, which is undoubtedly a shame.

Seeing Thomas hit a three-pointer from the outside, Carl had a strange expression on his face. Logically speaking, he should be happy that the team had an extra point of fire from outside, but his expression was not that excited.In fact, he is used to relying heavily on Ray Allen, Cassel, and Robinson. In his opinion, other people should be supporting these three shooters, and Thomas is used by him as a block most of the time. Cover walls and rebounders to use.

This time he was designing tactics for outside shooters, but he didn't expect Thomas to shoot a three-pointer on his own initiative. Although he made a direct hit, it was completely different from his original idea.However, it is impossible for him to continue to let Thomas pass the ball to his teammates now, so he can only let him do what he wants, so the expression on Carl's face is extremely tangled.

Thomas can't control that much. His only idea is to help the team even out the point difference or even overtake. Whether it is offense or defense, as long as he can contribute to the team, it doesn't matter what he does.It's just that in his opinion, it was the best choice to shoot the ball by himself in the offensive round just now, so even though there was a conflict with the coach's arrangement, he simply shot it neatly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Of course, if he hit the iron directly for this three-pointer, he might be more cautious in the next attack.But now, since it seems to feel good, Thomas still plans to do the same in the next round. Lewis' defense is almost negligible in his opinion. Although he heard Brown yelling at Lewis because of this negligence, he did not. I think Lewis can defend himself when he cheers up.

In fact, Lewis himself doesn't know whether he can affect Thomas's shooting next time, but he can't do nothing like a log on the court like this time, right?Although the probability of preventing Thomas from shooting is so small that it can be ignored, Lewis does not allow himself to make such mistakes again. If Thomas makes another three-pointer, where will he save his face?
