Chapter 207 Tie-break ([-])

"Greg, are you really not saying anything anymore?"

Sean Elliott looked worried. Hearing the tsunami-like shouts inside and outside the American West Arena, he was really worried about the prospect of this game. After all, the Spurs had such a good chance in the last game but they were defeated The rookie took the victory back from the Spurs abruptly with a shocking performance. It was an epic individual performance!
Recalling the game two days ago, Sean Elliott still had a surge of energy in his heart. As a participant, he was shocked to witness such a miracle, but it is a pity that they are opponents. If a bystander If he is a player, then he will not hesitate to praise that rookie for being great, but as an opponent, he will watch the replay immediately after the game, trying to find the reason for their failure.

But after studying with other Spurs coaches for a whole night, they could only come to one conclusion. There was nothing wrong with their tactics, but that rookie was too perverted, like a perpetual motion machine, he would not get tired at all, eating alone Lost nearly two-thirds of the Suns' possession of the ball!

What is the concept of eating most of a team's ball rights in a game?
This means that most of the team's offense is done by him alone, and basically every offensive ball has to pass through his hands. Before the last game, everyone thought this was unbelievable. Such a thing would only happen in the ancient times of the NBA, but there are still people who can do this to this extent. The most terrifying thing is that he is still an outside player, which is really unimaginable.

Even the Chamberlains of ancient times were all insiders. It is extremely difficult for them who are closer to the basket to do this. This is a great test for their physical strength. A livestock-level player like Chamberlain It is very difficult to do it physically, but in the modern era where the offensive rhythm is much faster, there is actually an outside player who has achieved this level.

This is a huge blow to the confidence of the Spurs players!

Thinking of Bowen who was covering his head in disbelief after the game and Parker who was devastated, Sean Elliott couldn't help sighing. The fact that the proud Spurs were defeated by a rookie was too cruel. It's hard to accept this fact, and now the tiebreaker is about to start, the players' confidence doesn't seem that strong, and this is still at the home court of the Suns, thinking of these Sean Elliott is very impatient, looking lost in thought Popovich, who didn't say a word, couldn't help asking again.

Popovich, whose thinking was interrupted, seemed a little irritable. Looking at the impatient Elliott Popovich, he shook his head helplessly. He knew that his former disciple's heart was in a mess. What is taboo is the confidence of the main general. Their words and deeds will affect the players. Elliott, who is full of tactical talent, is a good assistant coach, but he will definitely not be a good head coach!

"Bowen, at the beginning of the game, you should defend Gao Tian first. If you can, it's best to let him play alone. Don't let him shoot with a touch. It's an old habit. You can let him take a step and move him to Tim. Hurry up, but absolutely don’t give him a chance to make three big strides, you must keep harassing him!”

"Tim, you still do your job well. You may have to do a little too much in today's game, but you must do your best!"

"We today..."

Seeing Popovich, who is still tirelessly arranging tactics with the Spurs players, Sean Elliott doesn't understand why he doesn't encourage them when he knows the morale of the players is not high, but directly rearranges them Tactics again, this is too absurd!
Sean Elliott wanted to interrupt Popovich's speech, but he hesitated seeing Popovich's serious face. Popovich hates people interrupting him when he is talking, so wait. Let's talk to him after Popovich finishes talking.

Listening to Popovich's tactical arrangement, Sean Elliott, who was originally very impatient, gradually became addicted to it. He was thinking about tactical issues, and his restless heart gradually calmed down. It wasn't just him, The locker room was extremely quiet, and everyone was listening to Popovich's speech with full attention. Even the substitute players who were unable to play were very serious. No matter how noisy the outside was, they couldn't reach here, as if there was a kind of magic power , here is not one person after another, this is an inseparable whole!

The atmosphere in the home locker room on the other side is very similar to the previous atmosphere of the Spurs. Almost everyone’s face is full of the word nervous. Nash has been habitually touching the soles of his feet when moving his body. The tied shoelaces were untied and re-tied. Even Ricky Davis, who was the most nervous, dared not speak. He stood in front of the mirror in the locker room and kept arranging his hair.

Except Gao Tian.

The eyes of D'Antoni and everyone in the locker room glanced over the relaxed face of Gao Tian from time to time, watching him in a daze, changing clothes and shoes normally, doing everything normally, Everyone was speechless in their hearts. They couldn't understand why Gao Tian was not nervous at all. How could his nerves be so thick?

But this is also a good thing. The Sun players, whose palms have been sweating all the time, looked at Gao Tian, ​​who was not affected by the frenzied atmosphere of the outside world, and their hearts slowly relaxed. After all, it was this man who led them to the victory in the last game. Victory, now Gao Tian is the omnipotent god in their hearts, no matter who is Gao Tian's teammate, seeing the omnipotent Gao Tian in the last game will subconsciously rest assured and hand the ball to Gao Tian's hands!
They cheer themselves up like this in their hearts.

When the sky falls, there will be a big man on top of it, and Gao Tian is the biggest man in the sun now.

Gao Tian couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at his teammates' subconsciously expecting eyes. There is no doubt that a great star is beneficial to a team, but he is also a sharp double-edged sword. He is omnipotent and leads the team to victory, but there must be a degree in everything. Once the speed is not well grasped, it will cause fatal damage to the team, just like Jordan in the early years to the Bulls.

When teammates habitually hand over all problems to Jordan, the Bulls already have a fatal weakness.

Jordan will subconsciously choose to solve everything by himself, and it is impossible to lead the team to win all the time by fighting alone. Everyone is caught in this unsolvable endless loop. In the end, it was Mayfair Jackson who persuaded Jordan to believe in his teammates. With the triangle offense.

Shaking his head, Gao Tian put these boring thoughts to the back of his head. Although this is indeed a big problem, it is not a problem at all for the current Sun. The current victory is what everyone, including Gao Tian, ​​is considering. Gao Tian looked at the empty panel and sighed. His heart was bleeding, but he had no choice but to continue. After paying, Gao Tian felt that he might be sick.

He desperately needs a lot of victory points to cure his disease.

People have only one disease, and that is the disease of poverty.
