Chapter 210 Dazed Gentry

Chapter 210 Dazed Gentry

Suddenly trailing by 16 points, Gentry panicked.

He subconsciously asked for a timeout, but he didn't think of a solution, and he didn't even think about what to say.

But Nash and others have already returned to the bench, so they can't stare at each other, they can only bite the bullet and say a few words.

He tried his best to stabilize his expression, took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and said slowly: "Everyone, don't panic..."

Immediately afterwards, ambiguous words such as paying attention to the timing of double-teaming, careful selection of supplementary defense, etc., came out of Gentry's mouth one after another. The expression on the face became more and more confused.

After Gentry finished speaking, Nash went on to say: "Don't be nervous, we just didn't make the investment, and there were still a little mistakes. We used to have this kind of situation often in the past. Everyone continued to play according to the plan. There is still a lot of time..."

"Yeah, Steve was right, we had a good offense, we just couldn't make the shot..."

The big stone hanging in Gentry's heart finally fell. The reason why the Suns suddenly fell behind by as many as 16 points was because they failed to make the damn basketball. In addition, the Clippers seized every opportunity to counterattack. Once you go, one will ebb and flow.

Fortunately, Nash pointed out this point, so there is no need to think of any solutions, and the team will not be lost.

"I'm still inexperienced..."

Gentry felt emotional, and suddenly recalled the time when he was the head coach of the Clippers at the beginning of the century. It was the first time he officially served as the head coach of the team. Lamar Odom and other potential rookies.

It's a pity that he only won 70 games in the first two coaching seasons. In the third season, Andre Miller finally joined him. As a result, he only had a record of 19 wins and 39 losses before the All-Star Game. He was fired before the end of the season. .

"It's better to bring a veteran..."

Looking at the back of Nash walking towards the court, Gentry felt a little warmth in his heart.

...

The timeout ended, and the Suns kicked off from the bottom line in the backcourt.

Nash dribbled the ball forward with his left hand, raised his right hand and shouted tactics, and the Suns put up a V-shaped formation.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang slowly lowered his center of gravity and walked towards Nash in small steps.

One of the main ways to crack the V-shaped tactic is to expand the defensive area. After Su Yang activated it, Randolph and Jordan Jr. bent their knees slightly to lower their center of gravity, and at the same time raised their hands on the waists of their respective defenders, ready to start chasing at any time.

Nash took the ball across the center line, saw the Clippers in such a posture, and immediately twisted his hips and diverted to the left wing.

The top-of-the-arc screen is no longer needed, but the offense has to be launched through the pick-and-roll, but the partner is replaced by Hill.

Gordon followed Hill to the left wing and decisively chose to stay inside to block Nash's breakthrough space.

He let Hill disassemble the outer shell, and the bet was that Hill couldn't catch the ball and hit a three-pointer quickly. That hit also recognize.

Seeing that Gordon stayed inside, Su Yang gave up going around the screen to intercept, and squeezed through the screen to chase instead.

For a while, Nash had nowhere to go, and there were chasing soldiers behind him. He raised his hand and passed without thinking.

Hill bowed to catch the ball, turned around to face the basket, and didn't immediately shoot a three-pointer.

Gordon hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, able to prevent breakthroughs and have a chance to block shots.

Hill put down the basketball with both hands, turned around and passed back to Nash, and the Suns wasted 11 seconds of offensive time.

Nash rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, continued to run to the right with the help of Stoudemire's cover, and then used Lopez to cover it.

Jordan's step up was delayed, and Lopez took the opportunity to turn around and cut in, but was blocked by Randolph.

But Randolph also let go of Stoudemire, and Nash, as if he had expected it, suddenly hit the ball towards Stoudemire's position.

The basketball rebounded from the ground, passed through the cracks precisely, and flew comfortably into Stoudemire's hands.

"Is this okay?" Su Yang was a little shocked. This pass is really difficult. It requires boldness and carefulness, strong hands, excellent vision and long-term practice to ensure a certain success rate, let alone a post-season pass. Competition environment.

Also shocked was Stoudemire. Although he had a tacit understanding with Nash for many years, he was still unprepared.

In a hurry, he subconsciously lowered his racket, adjusted his rhythm and posture, and raised his hand to aim at the basket.

But after such a little hesitation, Randolph stood in front of him again, raising his right hand to interfere.

Stoudemire couldn't continue dribbling, and the attack time was running out, so he simply jumped up and shot.

In order to avoid blocking the shot, the arc of the basketball's flight was pulled very steeply, and it slammed to the front with a bang.

The basketball rebounded and fell, Randolph stuck Lopez with his back, and Jordan rushed to grab the rebound.

The Clippers launched a counterattack. Su Yang took the ball across the center line and found that Richardson and Nash switched defenses in advance.

This operation is clearly to protect the weak defensive Nash and prevent the defensive formation from collapsing.

Su Yang recalled the side lane of "seize the opportunity to fight to death" formulated during the timeout, and immediately waved to Davis, indicating that this wave can start the "roll call tactic". Whoever defends Nash asks who to play the pick-and-roll, it is always Chase Nash.

Seeing this, Davis immediately started to rush to the top of the arc, and Nash was forced to run out.

The screen was established immediately, and Su Yang pulled the ball to the right, intending to face Nash at the 45-degree three-point line.

Richardson and Nash quickly switched defenses, as if they had been prepared for this, but Davis set up a screen again.

Richardson still wanted to continue to switch defenses. Su Yang went straight forward and turned his back, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity to forcefully push Nash. Relying on his weight and strength advantages, he successfully reached the elbow area, stuck in the five-second violation time, pulled the ball back and turned to walk to the baseline .

At this point, the basket has been emptied.

Su Yang seemed to be in no man's land, Nash raised his hand to make a tactical foul, then put it down and stood still to watch.

Bang bang!Su Yang dunked with both hands and scored, and the Clippers led 57 to 39.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Nash took the basketball in a second, turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

The Clippers retreated quickly, with Gordon and Davis defending the elbows, and Jordan sitting at the free throw line.

Su Yang and Randolph followed closely, and the three-two defensive formation was established in an instant, forcing the Suns to play on the sideline.

Nash didn't think much about it, and pulled the ball straight to the right wing, and Richardson lifted it from the bottom corner with the help of a screen.

The two cooperated hand in hand, but Su Yang and Davis teamed up to block, only moving with the basketball and not changing defenses.

Richardson didn't dare to shoot directly, and passed the ball back to Nash, who beckoned Stoudemire to raise it again.

High position support is a classic way to break the zone defense, but it is a pity that Stoudemire is not Gasol, he does not have such a strong basketball IQ, nor does he pass the ball with one hand, and he is not Dirk Nowitzki. point.

Su Yang yelled, don't worry, Randolph immediately stopped his rush and stayed at the free throw line to wait.

Nash and Hill cooperated with an off-ball screen on the baseline, and ran out of the receiving space with difficulty.

It's a pity that Stoudemire passed the ball a little slowly.

Nash received the basketball, Davis has regained his close defense, and can only run and shoot with one leg against the interference.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Randolph caught the rebound with a light jump, Davis caught the ball and advanced, Su Yang and Gordon followed up on both sides.

The three of them reached the three-point line in parallel, and started the roll call tactics to guide the running position. Su Yang faced Nash again.

He pressed the ball with his left hand on his shoulder. Seeing Nash retreat, he immediately stopped his movement and pulled back, and he jumped with the ball.

Maddie-style hesitant step!

Boom!The three-pointer hit the circle and entered the net.

The Clippers led 60 to 39, the cheers in the arena went straight to the ceiling, and the audience was excited.

Gentry was bewildered: "We really didn't invest in it...?"
