Starting with 2006

Chapter 35
Lagabel and Stoudemire couldn't help laughing at the lively scene on the Clippers side, and couldn't help being amazed at the arrogant Kassel's submissive appearance.

I don't know how arrogant Kassel was when he played against the Suns in this year's playoffs. He kept provoking the Suns, and Nash, who was originally good-tempered, couldn't help but want to beat him, but in the end he held back under the persuasion of coach D'Antoni. With this tone, they are united and can finally eliminate the Clippers.

But the bad breath towards them still exists, and seeing their ashamed faces now, I really feel extremely comfortable in my heart.

Dunleavy forgot how long it had been since he had lost such a big temper, he felt humiliated!

The entire Clippers team faced a mere rookie, and several people took turns to defend and attack.

This made Dun Levy think deeply, is he too confident?
This is why he played so uselessly at the very beginning of the season.

He didn't need to look to know how dark the face of Sterling, the boss of the VIP seat above, was.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head, and said fiercely: "Once he enters the free throw line in the next game, you will pinch him!"

"what?"

Brand and Cassel shouted in unison. They looked at each other and asked again with some uncertainty: "He's just a rookie! Flanking, isn't it too cautious?"

No wonder they are so unbelievable, after all, flanking is synonymous with superstars!

Hearing what they said, Dunleavy's face darkened even more. Looking at the Suns players and the fans holding mobile phones, he lowered his voice and roared, "If you can defend him, why would you attack him?"

Then he gave Corey Maggette another look, which startled Corey Maggette.

Seeing the referee coming to urge him, he glanced around, finally looked at Brand, and said, "Elton, you are the leader of the team, and you have to assume the responsibility of the leader next!"

"it is good!"

Yes!

As the leader of the team, I must lead them not to be bullied by that rookie!

Brand secretly encouraged himself.

Gao Tian was also quite speechless. In fact, he admired these Clippers players. He had not shaken his confidence after being hit like this, especially that Brand, who seemed to have been beaten to death. He deserved to be a professional player!

After all, Cassell is a veteran player. With his sober brain, he no longer rushes in without thinking. On the offensive end, he began to rush in more to feed Brand and Kaman. On the defensive end, he called his teammates to start pinching. And help defend Gao Tian.

And Gao Tian also felt trouble. These are all veterans with extremely rich experience, and they grasped the timing of assist defense and flank attack very well, which made him very uncomfortable, and slowly his hit rate began to drop.

But the strange thing is that D'Antoni never instructed to change, and continued to let Gao Tian play singles by himself.

And the Clippers played brilliantly. After one quarter, the Clippers went from being [-] points behind to only three points behind.

Liz looked at Gao Tian who was sitting on the bench panting heavily. He thought for a while and couldn't help asking D'Antoni who was smiling beside him: "Why did you let Gao Tian play singles in the first quarter? Seriously implement it." In terms of tactics, the Clippers are not our opponents at all?"

"Indeed, with Gao Tian, ​​our tactics are indeed stronger, but this is facing the Clippers, what if we are facing the Spurs and Mavericks? Do you think our tactics will definitely be able to play?"

Speaking of this, his expression was a little serious, and he pursed his lips and said: "Gao Tian has the strength now, but what he still lacks is experience! The experience of really fighting tough battles!"

"Oh! I see! So you want Gao Tian to face different opponents, various types of defensive players, and adapt to this tense game atmosphere as soon as possible!"

Liz admired.

"This is indeed the best method. There is nothing that can make people grow faster than actual combat! But, in this case, at the really critical moment, he is likely to make mistakes!"

When Liz said this, he looked at D'Antoni with some concern.

"It doesn't matter! Making mistakes in the regular season is far better than making mistakes in the playoffs. We give him a chance, just hope he can meet our requirements."

Liz looked at Gao Tian's still young face with some doubts, could he really shoulder this burden?

In the next game, Gao Tian will no longer fight against them. When the main players are on the field, he will play tactics seriously to get a better chance before making a move.

When he led the bench by himself, he didn't blindly play singles, but used his own traction to attract double-teams, and then passed the ball to open teammates.

If the offensive Gao Tian makes people feel unable to defend, then the Gao Tian who puts more emphasis on defense and organization is hopeless!
Dunleavy felt like he was about to collapse, how would he play this game?
Your main force is in a tight fight with other people's substitutes, and you can't always take the lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Clippers fans were surprised to find that the Clippers, who had been clinging to the score, were stretched instantly after their main players came up.

When Nash became the dominant player of this team, the Suns' offense was like mercury pouring down the ground, directly smashing the Clippers' seemingly tough defense.

Just 5 minutes after the final quarter, the Clippers were hit by a 22:2 score. Seeing that two timeouts were useless, Dunleavy gave up the game directly. Taking advantage of the dead ball, he replaced all the main players and replaced the substitute Replaced it.

Dunleavy stared at Gao Tian, ​​who was smiling and high-fiving his teammates. He knew that it was because of this man's own team that the Suns beat him completely helpless. You know, they just played seven games against the Suns in the playoffs. field.

It stands to reason that the sun just upgraded Marion to Gao Tian, ​​and it doesn't seem to have changed much, and Marion is more experienced.

He fits the Suns' running and bombing system so well!

Dunleavy let out a long sigh, and the west is even more chaotic!
It was originally a battle between the bulls and horses, and the Suns were always slightly inferior to them, but now in Dunleavy's view, the Suns are not weaker than the Spurs and Mavericks at all!

This rookie can run the point guard in the main lineup, wait for Nash's pass, and then make an open three-pointer that is extremely simple for him. On the defensive end, he can participate in assisting defense. Whether it is inside or outside, he is a perfect defense. By!
In the second team, he can also play his singles ability with a substitute, which instantly improves the strength of the Suns substitute, who was originally not a good bench lineup.

He is so perfect!
While Dunleavy was sad, he also had a deep desire, if...

If I can get this player, the Los Angeles Clippers can completely upgrade to a higher level and enter the championship competition!

But this is simply impossible!

It is impossible for the sun to let people go, unless their management is out of their minds!
He looks impeccable!

No matter which team gets him, he can make a perfect upgrade, which is really elusive!

In the end, the Phoenix Suns, who came from afar, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 120:102 in the away game. The team started with two consecutive victories. Gao Tian scored 30 points, ten rebounds, eleven assists and five blocks. Data, won the MVP of the game.

At the press conference after the game, Gao Tian looked at Dun Levy, who was a little embarrassed by the reporter's tricky questions, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic in his heart. This old man is so pitiful!
Of course, when Dunleavy saw the conspicuous photo in the newspaper the next day, Gao Tian didn't see the scene where he was so angry that he almost fainted, otherwise he would have sympathized with the poor old man even more.
