God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 548 Worn Down

Facing the Bobcats in this game, Brown began to regret why he recruited so many veterans.But in fact, this is a last resort. Any team is composed of stars, young people and veterans, and to some extent, signing a veteran at the same price is more expensive than signing a rookie. It's a good deal. After all, the veterans have proven their strengths and can bring more experience to the team. This is the fundamental reason why Brown likes to use veterans.

But now he only hopes that there are more young people in the team, because the veterans obviously can't keep up with the offensive and defensive speed of the Bobcats players, so Brown has to let the young people rush into battle.However, he soon discovered that the young people under his command could not bear the opponent's long-term running. The decline in shooting percentage was an obvious feature, and their physical strength was no longer enough to support shooting.

Brown was very surprised. You must know that this is only the third quarter, and the physical fitness of the players began to call the police. So what will happen in the second half?He didn't dare to make a promise, but he didn't have much confidence, so he could only take one step at a time.

Fortunately, Brown has James available, and he is the only guy on the team who can be compared to the Bobcats in terms of physical fitness.The only difference is that James was born, while the Bobcats players were trained by Chang Wei.Chang Wei has confidence in the players he has trained. When Jackson asked whether the offensive and defensive rhythm should be lowered, Chang Wei thought there was no problem. This is the Bobcats' style of play, and the players' physical fitness can also support such a game.

Chang Wei's statement reassured Jackson a lot. He just thought that with the intensity of the playoffs, it would be difficult for the players to maintain a fast-paced offense and defense for a long time. But since Chang Wei thinks it is possible, he will choose to believe it.In fact, the Bobcats now also occupy the advantage of the field, and the Cavaliers' players, except James, are also starting to pant.

With 1 minute and 25 seconds left in the third quarter, Pavlovich staggered and almost fell to the ground after a breakthrough layup.Then his expression began to twist, his hands pinched his right calf tightly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.Chang Wei's eyes froze. He didn't need to go over to know that this was an obvious cramp symptom. It seemed that the Cavaliers could no longer hold on.

Pavlovich's fall made the Cavaliers' bench a mess, and Brown opened his mouth in surprise. He has coached NBA teams for a long time, and he has hardly seen players cramp on the court. You must know that there are only 48 games in basketball games. Minutes, it is not easy for a player to cramp in the middle of a game, let alone a young guy like Pavlovic.

The rest time before the start of the fourth quarter was not enough for the Cavaliers players to recover their physical strength. Most of them had some symptoms of muscle tremors, and it seemed a little unsustainable.But it is impossible for Brown to give up the victory of the game at this time. The Cavaliers are now behind 69 to 79, with only a 10-point gap. He believes that there is still a chance to complete the reversal in the fourth quarter.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Bobcat players who were still fierce and fierce played an 8-0 spurt. What made Brown feel even more embarrassed was that it was not the Bobcats' starting five tigers on the field at this time, but they role players.In this game, the Bobcats bench headed by Ellis also caused a lot of trouble for the Cavaliers. Thanks to their outstanding performance, the Bobcats were able to maintain their fast offense and defense for almost the entire game without being caught. Knight seized the loophole.

Halfway through this quarter, the Bobcats had widened the point difference to 15 points. Seeing the players running hard on the field, Brown sighed and withdrew all the starters, which meant that he shot in this game. The son confessed.However, Jackson still seemed very cautious. After the Cavaliers' starters were off, he let the Bobcats' five starters play for nearly 1 minute, and waited until the general trend of the game was set before substituting them for the opponent to leave. The last dignity.

To everyone's surprise, when Roy and the others were substituted, the fans stood up and applauded for them, which was a great improvement.The Bobcats' record and style of play in the past two seasons have attracted the attention of many fans. However, Charlotte still has a majority of NCAA fans. Originally, all the tickets for this game were sold out, which made the Bobcats management very impressed. Surprise, I didn't expect that at this time, because of Jackson's substitution, the fans spontaneously stood up and cheered for them.

So basketball is the same as other competitive sports. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as you can win the game, you can be loved by the fans, but if you lose, besides being a tragic hero, It's useless.

Although Jackson replaced the main players, there were no more twists and turns in this game. The Bobcats easily defeated the Cavaliers 101-92 at their home court, rewriting the big score to 2-1, and also defending their first place. a home field.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the key to this game is physical fitness. The Bobcats have good physical fitness, so they won the game, and the Cavaliers have poor physical fitness, so they can only accept the loss.After the game, the commentators praised the Bobcats players' physical fitness. In their opinion, as long as any team's players have such physical fitness, why not do great things?

At the press conference, Brown also focused on the opponent's physical advantages. He told reporters: "The Bobcats are the best physical team I have ever seen, not even one of them. Such a team is very scary. Seeing the performance of the Bobcats, I realized that the physical training I emphasized was just a child's play, which also provided a reference for our off-season training."

"Obviously we lost this game due to lack of physical fitness. In fact, in my opinion, only LeBron can keep up with them. How to limit the speed of the Bobcats in the next game is our top priority. "

And Jackson attributed all the advantages in physical fitness to his chief assistant coach: "I have to say that the team can play such a fast pace, which is entirely due to Chang's credit. This is a very capable team. But this is also closely related to everyone's hard training, after all, the game still needs players to play."

After Chang Wei heard Jackson's words in the audience, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. Now his reputation in the league no longer needs his old friends to advertise for him, but Jackson still told the truth.Chang Wei could easily guess what he was thinking. As the head coach and good friend, he didn't want to take credit for Chang Wei.
