Chapter 458 Coach's Game
Booker was very fast and the interception occurred outside the three-point line, so it was too late for other Warriors players to retreat.
Booker rode his way to the frontcourt, and when he was one step away from the three-point line, he was just a one-handed slash.
Although it was a buckle, the height of his wheel was very high, and the bouncing was at least 40 or 50 centimeters, which looked particularly elegant.
As soon as this action was done, the audience on the scene was immediately exploded.
Although Booker is black, he looks like a white man because of his skin. More importantly, he always gives people the impression of being a three-pointer pitcher. No one expected that he would show such a powerful dunk in the fast break.
"Bang!"
Booker pressed the ball hard into the basket with one hand. After dunking, he seemed extremely excited. After waving his fist to the sky, he roared like a beast.
Tang Shuai smiled and nodded when he saw this scene. Booker was indeed not a good player at dunking, but after training with him, he deliberately trained this aspect because he felt that Booker was too gentle. It doesn't matter in reality, but sometimes you have to be tough when playing NBAs. Such dunks are obviously the best way to stimulate this potential in your body.
At least from the performance of this ball, it can be seen that Booker has completely entered combat mode at this moment.
When Booker ran to the backcourt, he took the initiative to ask Shuai Tang to high-five, and he could see the burning fighting spirit in his eyes.
In the Warriors' offense, Brewer defended Curry without giving him a chance. Barbosa held the ball and was suspicious for a while. Seeing that the attack time was approaching, he could only choose to attack himself.
Barbosa is the kind of guard who wins at speed. He accelerates to rush to the basket, but facing Tang Shuai's defense, the speed that his body, which is no longer at its peak, can be brought to rush to rush in. He accelerates to rush in, and Tang Shuai easily leans on it together.
As he was about to get to the basket, Barbosa turned around and raised his hand to prepare for a throwing shot. Tang Shuai had been waiting there for a long time, and there was a block that was facing up and down.
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball was slapped down and was grabbed by Booker, who was quick-witted.
The Warriors retreated in time this time. After Booker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he directly called Smith to make a pick-and-roll, and then went straight to the basket.
Spetts, who changed defense, couldn't keep up. When he tried to block the net while making a layup, he was hit by Booker with a speed difference. Not only did Booker score the ball, he also lost a foul.
After scoring the goal, Booker raised his head excitedly and roared, and after Jordan Jr., he also began to explode.
At this time, Cole finally realized that he had made a mistake. In such a physical confrontation game, players like Barbosa and Sbetts could not play at all, and the contribution they made was basically a negative one.
He could only replace Bogut and Curry who had been resting for less than a minute.
Tang Shuai was in the opposite mood at this time. In the most important game, his teammates exploded one after another, and the hope of winning in this game also increased by a factor of a rise.
Booker hit a free throw steadily, helping the Clippers to expand the gap to 9 points 40-31.
In the Warriors' offense, Curry pushed the ball into the frontcourt, reached out to ask for a pick-and-roll for Bogut, and then went into the inside with a throw.
Jordan Jr. almost caught a strong cover interference, and the basketball swiped off the other side.
Green of the Warriors grabbed the frontcourt board and prepared to make a layup, but Jordan Jr. reacted quickly and was disturbed again, and the basketball passed by again.
He didn't score in two consecutive attacks at the basket, and it really responded to what Barkley said, the Warriors are a weird team with three-pointers more accurate than two-pointers.
The rebound fell into Curry's hand, and Curry turned around and ran out, with Jeff Green behind him chasing him reluctantly.
Curry reached the three-point line without any preparation, so he raised his hand and threw it away.
Jeff Green pressed directly on like a rabbit-like goshawk.
Curry saw Green flying over and deliberately reduced the speed of attack. With a "slap", he directly caused a foul by Green's thug.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and Green also hugged his head and looked annoyed after landing. Curry's free throw shooting rate was very high, and free throws were basically equivalent to giving away points.
Curry's quick move also made the defender dare not let go. In fact, if Green did not jump this ball, Curry might raise his hand and hit another three-pointer.
When Tang Shuai saw this, he went over and patted Green on the shoulder and signaled that it was okay. Only then did he get better.
Curry made three free throws with three free throws, which was equivalent to another three-pointer, helping the team to catch the score to 6 points again.
Kassel called Booker and Brewer at this time and gave some advice.
In the Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai got rid of Thompson's defense and rushed to the basket, bypassing Bogut's backup defense and a shot from the board. However, this time his luck was a little worse, and the basketball bounced into the basket and then bounced out again.
Bogut grabbed the rebound and threw it to Curry and prepared to launch a fast break.
However, just as Curry was preparing for a fast attack, Booker suddenly ran to Bogut and then made a foul without the ball.
Bogut hit the free throw line.
Just now, Billups told Kassel about concerns about the players' physical strength. After discussing, the two of them prepared to use the tactic of killing Bogut.
Bogut gasped and walked to the frontcourt free throw line, reached out to wipe the sweat from his face. From his slightly white face, it could be seen that this high-intensity physical confrontation and this level of physical exhaustion had exceeded his ability to withstand it.
But at this time, Cole had no choice. Spets's appearance had been proven to be a mistake. At this time, he had to use it even if he didn't need it.
In fact, let alone Bogut, even other players bent down and gasped. This level of game is a huge test for physical strength.
Bogut's first free throw was obviously unstable in control of his power, and the basketball hit the back edge of the basket and jumped out of the basket.
The first penalty is not made.
"beep!"
Just after Bogut finished the first goal, the whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the Clippers made personnel adjustments, and Kassel replaced Jordan and Smith with "Big White" Aldridge and Pierce.
When Tang Shuai saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. Kassel was really quick enough to react. When he cut others, he knew to replace his own people first. After all, he really had to count it. Jordan and Smith were also half-tied with Bogut.
"Bang!"
Bogut's second free throw was still out of the basket, and this time it was even more outrageous than the first ball.
In fact, Bogut's free throw shooting percentage this season is only 40%, and after his physical strength decreases, this shooting percentage will only go further down.
Aldridge used his height advantage to grab this defensive rebound.
Cole did not replace Bogut immediately. When Sbett and Azeri were not overused, he had to choose this way. After all, it has proved that it would not work before.
With the Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai once again entered the inside line and scored a trolley in the air around Bogut.
This time, Bogut had no energy to interfere, so he could only watch Tang Shuai score.
Seeing this, Cole reached out and patted his forehead, turned around and called Barnes. It seemed that he still had to use the five small ones to make a transition.
This time, Kassel's response was slower. When the five smalls came up, Thompson ran out of the opportunity through his teammates' fast pick-and-roll. After receiving Curry's pick-and-roll, he raised his hand and hit his sixth three-pointer in the game. He scored 6 three-pointers in the half, which had already broken the playoff three-pointer hits in the half.
In this most critical game, Thompson chose to stand up first.
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Kassel turned around and replaced Jordan Jr. on the court.
Cole also reacted quickly on the other side. As soon as Jordan came up, Barnes directly pressed up and chose the tactic of killing people.
The fans were particularly focused on watching the scene. When the scoring tactics were released in the past, most of the fans were unhappy. After all, buying tickets was to watch the game, not to watch the free throws. However, during this time, the head coaches of both sides made the game of both sides excited.
In fact, this is the game. As a player, you must do your best to exert your strength. As a coach, you must maximize the ability of the player through continuous personnel adjustments and tactical deployment, and then take the initiative on the field. This is exactly the same as the confrontation between the two armies. The only difference may be that this kind of war takes place on the field.
52 to 44, at the end of the half, the Clippers still held an 8-point lead, and they obviously performed better in the game full of physical confrontation.
During the halftime break, Tang Shuai was "accidentally" by Christina again.
Tang Shuai was a little panting. In addition to the rest of more than one minute in the second quarter, he almost played the full half, and his entire physical strength was extremely exhausted.
"Dang, you played very well and the team was ahead, which is really a great thing." Christina congratulated him as soon as she came up.
"Yes, this is a good thing. I hope we will perform like this in the second half." Tang Shuai said, wiping the sweat with a towel.
"But I also noticed that the players' physical energy was a bit expensive, but the game was only halfway through. Will this have an impact on the subsequent game?" Christina continued to ask.
"No, we will do our best to the competition, and we will always maintain this fighting spirit until the last moment." Tang Shuai said without thinking.
"Isn't it really going to be an impact?" Christina couldn't help asking with concern when she saw Tang Shuai's face turned pale.
"Yes." Tang Shuai gasped, suddenly remembered something, turned to look at the direction of the bench, and then suddenly said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, Charles said, 'Don't change me, I have time to rest after I die'. I think this is the case now and my teammates, we have the confidence to win this game."
When he heard Tang Shuai talk about Barkley's famous sayings, and when he saw Tang Shuai's face turned pale but unyielding, Christina was moved without hesitation.
If Tang Shuai had just won her interest with his football skills before, then the personality charm that Tang Shuai showed now has made him very moved.
