Starting with 2006

Chapter 32 Conspiracy of Two People
Los Angeles Clippers head coach Dunleavy looked at last season's bitter host Phoenix Suns with some headaches. They regrettably lost to the Suns in the Western Conference semifinals in the tiebreaker, but they were not discouraged. They had captain Brand and outsiders. A strong player like Starman Cassell, as well as a potential rookie Sean Livingston, originally planned to make a comeback this season and even break through the history of the team, but...

Dunleavy looked at the vigorous Suns and shook his head secretly. This game is really hard to play!

The advantages and disadvantages of the Suns last season are obvious. The regular season went smoothly, but they are easy to be targeted in the playoffs. Almost all the teams in the playoffs have good inside lineups, and they all consistently catch the inside of the Suns. So in the playoffs last season, the Suns struggled extremely!

Doesn't look like a real playoff team at all!
But they are also aware of their own problems, and they are willing to bet on the future of the team to sign Gao Tian, ​​which is unbelievable!
Because they are not a big team, they have been a strong team under the leadership of Nash.

A heaven, a hell.

From the looks of it so far, they've fixed at least one flaw, it's just...

Thinking of this, he looked at Gao Tian with a little disdain and smiled, he was just a rookie, maybe he played very well in the regular season!

But in the playoffs like a grindstone, is he really as strong as you think?

Why is veteran so important?

It is easier for experienced talents to find themselves in the lost playoffs!
And many veterans of my own Los Angeles Clippers have rich experience in the playoffs. When they face the Suns again in the playoffs, they must give them a good look!
As for this regular season, let's see how their lineup is, try it out, ahem, it's just a regular season after all, winning or losing doesn't matter...

Dunleavy blushed a little at the thought of this. After all, he was a famous coach anyway, and it was only human to pursue victory, but he felt a little headache looking at the old men on the team.

The regular season can only be played at a low level, and if you lose against a strong team, you will lose, as long as you play your strength in the playoffs.

And this game, hum!
Give that rookie some good looks!
After all, the Suns are one of the Clippers' competitors in the playoffs, and Gao Tian is the rookie they focus on training. If Gao Tian can't meet their requirements, or can't play at all, then the strength of the Suns will drop a lot !

Thinking of this, he told the careless Corey Maggette again. Seeing his indifferent expression, Dunleavy shook his head and couldn't help saying: "His strength is not just a rookie! You must know that Kobe even personally recognized his excellence. , don't be careless, remember, you must call the defense!"

"Okay, okay, I see."

Corey Maggette looked at the long-winded old man in front of him with some annoyance, isn't he just a rookie?
Is it necessary to be so cautious?
Anyway, I am also an old fritter who has been in the league for six or seven years, so I am afraid that when a rookie arrives, the media may not know what to say about me!
But it's true that you can't take it lightly, after all, even the paranoid Kobe can admit his strength.

But, hey, a rookie is a rookie after all, so let me welcome this rookie with a special ceremony.

Corey Maggette rolled his eyes, looked at Gao Tian who was warming up, and smiled sinisterly.

Gao Tian didn't see the two plotters, otherwise he might have been prepared, but now he is ready and ready to go.

He knew the reason for his arrogance.

If you play well, someone will praise you, and you will be greeted with overwhelming applause and flowers.

But as long as you play poorly, or even make no progress, everyone who used to greet you with a smile will question you and scold you, even your own teammates and coaches.

Why would they choose themselves?

It is because of the confidence that their strength brings them. If one day their strength continues to decline, will they still treat themselves with such concern?

Won't!
Because the NBA is a business league, everything should be based on interests, so those rare warm stories are so touching.

"Gao, let's go! We're entering the arena."

Looking at Stoudemire who smiled and patted him on the shoulder, Gao Tian smiled gently. Business is ruthless, but people are sympathetic, just be yourself!

The humble and gentle Nash, the reckless Stoudemire, the loyal Lagabel...

It is really a blessing to have some lovely teammates!

I will not disappoint their efforts, come on, boy!Gao Tian secretly encouraged himself.

"Beep~", as the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air, the game officially started!
Seeing the white center on the opposite side jump to the ball, Gao Tian was a little surprised. Stoudemire's bounce speed is very good, and his arms are long and his hands are long. He grasped the timing of the jump ball very well. In my impression, Chris Kaman was just playing tricks!
Gao Tian reminded himself not to underestimate anyone, those who can enter the NBA are already among the hundreds of best people in the world!
Alien Cassell dribbles the ball across the backfield slowly. He is 31 years old and in the prime of his career, and his current team is also very good. He is quite satisfied with all this.

However, he hated the Phoenix Suns in front of him, only one game away!You can enter the Western Conference Finals!
Obviously there is a chance, but the damn Phoenix Suns persisted tenaciously to the end. Cassel admired their persistence, but as an opponent, all he had to do was to find a way to destroy the enemy!
Looking contemptuously at Nash who was defending him, he directly knocked away the thin Nash in a disguised form. Although Nash had tried hard to defend, Cassel used his strong body to push him directly behind him, and a throw was directly hit.

Nash felt a little helpless, but he was used to such a scene. Since he entered the NBA, he knew that there was no game where he was not physically bullied by his opponents, but no matter how many points they scored on him, he would help his teammates get more points!
This is his way!

Nash dribbled the ball quickly, just passed the middle circle, and the moment he ran out of the open space at the high nadir corner, the ball arrived!
Gao Tian caught the ball without making any adjustments, raised his hand and threw it, and hit a three-pointer!
The sun's classic high-day off-ball tactics!
Corey Maggette looked at the expressionless Gao Tianhen's teeth itchy, this rookie is too cunning!
With the help of Stoudemire's cover, he ran to the bottom corner, and when he took two seconds to squeeze past Stoudemire's broad body, he could only watch him calmly hit a three-pointer.

damn it!
Those who like to drill around are all mice!

How can there be such a tactic in the league? A tactic specially designed for off-ball shooters is really troublesome.

Turning the ball to the Clippers, Cassel looked at Corey Maggette who was asking for the ball in the low post and couldn't help hesitating. This is not their tactic, but looking at Gao Tian behind him, he decided to let Maggette try first. give it a try.

Corey Maggette received the ball and turned around to look at the bent Gao Tian, ​​his eyes flashed coldly, he pretended to make a fake shot, and instantly swung the ball in Gao Tian's face with the ball in his hand!
