Chapter 167: Growing up in the game

"So you have to trust your teammates, and at the moment you are blocked, you have to immediately and decisively let your teammates go to make up for it, only in this way, you can defend Stephen to the maximum extent, you have to trust your teammates, even Blake, even DeAndrew, they can defend very well."

Tang Shuai nodded thoughtfully, in the previous games, including the preseason, he had not defended a player of Curry's level, and most of the time he was able to keep up one-on-one, so he did not consider the problem of changing defenses in defense, because he knew that changing defenses would inevitably mean misalignment, and misalignment would cause a sharp decline in defensive quality.

But what Paul just said is right, his thinking is in a sense not trusting his teammates, because in essence, even Jordan Jr., in addition to his movement speed, is also a guy with a purple defensive bag, and if he can complete the change of defense quickly, the defect of movement speed can be avoided.

Seeing Tang Shuai nodding, Paul continued: "As for Andre, his single defense ability is indeed very good, but you have teammates, you don't see how Stephen does it, the blocking and dismantling is born for this kind of occasion, understand?" ”

Tang Shuai nodded vigorously this time, Paul's words made him wake up all of a sudden, he couldn't get rid of Iguodala, that was because he didn't run enough times, if he really ran as crazy as Curry, the chance of getting rid of it would naturally increase exponentially.

Paul smiled and patted Tang Shuai's shoulder, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, at least Tang Shuai is still smart, and he will open up with a click.

"Don, CP3, you're ready to play." Reeves walked over to the bench and shouted.

Tang Shuai and Paul heard the shout, took off their training clothes, and then walked to the bench waiting area in front of the technical table.

At this time, the score on the court was 38:23, the Warriors were ahead, Tang Shuai and Paul were not on the court, the Clippers' offense could only be organized by Reaves Jr., and the game was chaotic, and the score difference was further widened.

"Toot!"

The referee blew the whistle, Reeves Jr. blocked the foul, and the game went into dead time, Tang Shuai and Paul came on to replace Redick and Reeves Jr.

At this time, the second quarter had only started for more than 1 minute, and Reeves replaced Paul early, obviously realizing that if he continued to play like this, the game might be spent in the half.

On the Clippers' side, the other three positions are Jordan Jr., Smith and Stephenson.

On the Warriors' side, Thompson and Green are playing with Livingston, Iguodala, and Speights.

Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Warriors' top defense came up as soon as possible.

Paul reached out and made a "3" tactical instruction, and Tang Shuai and Stephenson went straight to the basket.

The Warriors' defense rotated quickly, and when Tang Shuai ran out, Green's supplementary defense was in place as soon as possible, and Stephenson was the same over there.

If this had been placed before, Tang Shuai would definitely pull away and let Paul choose again, but after listening to what Paul said to him on the bench earlier, he immediately changed his mind, and suddenly turned around and re-entered the basket, and when he entered, he didn't want to shout Smith's name.

When Smith saw Tang Shuai go and return, he immediately made a block and dismantle it.

However, Green also reacted quickly, and quickly dodged during the run, and it could be seen that they had done more for Curry to block and dismantle, and they obviously paid a lot of attention to defense.

Tang Shuai glanced back at Green's still existence, and suddenly turned around again.

Smith didn't block Green in front of him, and he was a little annoyed, but when he saw Tang Shuai turn around again, he directly hit Green's body, and most of his body pressed up, and he didn't let him pass even if he was dead or alive.

Tang Shuai went in and out three times, and when he ran out again, he finally got rid of Green, who was making up for the defense.

When Paul saw Tang Shuai run out of position, he passed the ball out as soon as possible.

Man to ball to.

Tang Shuai received the ball, didn't stop for a second, and threw it directly.

The three-pointer got up and down, scoring his seventh point of the game and helping the Clippers chase the score to 12 points.

The fans, who had been silent for a while, finally erupted into enthusiastic cheers again, and the home team had been pressed and beaten, they had held back for too long.

"Oh hoo, today's game is good, the Chinese kid's running just now made me mistakenly think that he is Stephen, this kid is learning the game too fast!" O'Neill couldn't help but praise and said that he found that he was becoming more and more fond of this Chinese guy.

"Hey, Shaq, although the Chinese kid is doing well, your evaluation is too high." Barkley said disapprerovingly.

"Haha, Charles, are you still not convinced because you lost the bet before?" O'Neill teased back.

Barkley smiled but didn't say anything.

When O'Neill saw Barkley's appearance, he was also energetic, and then said: "Charles, why don't we also bet on whether the Chinese kid can pass 20 points in this game?" ”

"20 points? Shaq, are you sure you're not kidding me? Barkley said with a surprised face, "It's the Warriors on the other side, they're the defending champions, and the Chinese kid is just a substitute, are you really sure you're right?" ”

"Hey, Charles, I know what you're talking about, it can't be a block, right?" O'Neill also said without showing weakness.

"Afraid? I'm not afraid of the whirlwind kid! Bet on it, let's say, what about the loser? 'Barkley clearly has a lot of confidence in himself.

"It's easy, as long as you buckle up a basket in that sexy cheerleading uniform." O'Neill clearly came prepared.

"Oh my God......" Barkley covered his face with one hand, O'Neal's proposal was too bad, such a huge body, wearing a cheerleading uniform, and having to dunk, that picture ......

"How?" O'Neill is here for real this time.

"Shaq, are you sure you're not joking?" Buckley took his hand away and said solemnly.

O'Neill nodded noncommittally.

"Okay, I don't believe it!" Barkley slapped the commentator's seat, "But if you lose, how about you wear the same sexy cheerleading uniform as me?" ”

"It's a deal!" O'Neill didn't hesitate at all, stretched out his hand and gave Barkley a high-five, and the agreement between the two was officially effective.

The negotiation between the two on the commentary bench was completed, and the game on the field was also hot.

Tang Shuai was extremely active during this period of time, constantly turning back and running, constantly creating opportunities, hitting a three-pointer and a mid-range shot again, and using the Warriors' defense to assist Paul to score a layup, increasing the score to double digits, and also chasing the difference to within 10 points.
