Chapter 197: Ordered in Danger (Second Update!) )
Tang Shuai's worries became a reality.
A player, especially a top player, becomes extremely scary when the touch comes, and that's what George looks like on the field right now.
In the first round after Tang Shuai got off the court, Paul patiently organized, passed Jordan Jr. to the basket and scored two points, and George turned around and used the block to break the three-point line followed by another dry three-point pointer.
This one really has it!
In just one minute, George hit two three-pointers in a row!
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, if it was Curry who had such a performance at this time, they might not be so surprised, but this is George, who was a somewhat lame sports forward with three points last season!
"Don, do you have George and Tracy in the same way?" Smith said, couldn't help but turn his head to Tang Shuai and said, when he entered the league to play, Maddie was still at his peak, and he also witnessed a lot of style, Maddie is known as the most talented player in NBA history, although he was not able to get the honor he deserved because of injury, but his strength was still respected by other players.
Tang Shuai nodded, George is known as Wheat Di, this time after returning from injury, he used more dry pulling, and he really looked more and more like Maddie.
Speaking of which, he now has Maddie's dry bag on him, and he meets George, Wheat Di, and I don't know if it is a kind of fate.
“Bang!” Brin shouted his trademark commentary, and just now, George stole Paul's pass, quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and came directly to a violent dunk.
The fans at the scene were emotional, and instead of booing like other times, they gave George a round of applause.
For a player who has returned from a serious injury. Being able to complete this level of violent deduction is already admirable.
George's performance continues. The Clippers are playing against him at this time, veteran Pierce, although Pierce has a lot of experience. But after all, he is getting older and his pace is much slower, and he really can't cope with George's flexible and interspersed style of play.
Empty cut dunk, fast-break layup, and dry pull-up jumper after blocking and dismantling, George has become a point that the Pacers have not solved during this time.
After seeing that Pierce couldn't keep up, Cassel had already replaced Stephenson in advance, but George was also experienced, and Stephenson came up. He uses more back-to-back shots and back-to-back shots, and the height gap between the two is large, and his score is still rising.
By the end of the second quarter, with George's strong performance of 15 points in the second quarter, the Pacers led the Clippers by 10 points at 58:48.
"I have to admit that the Clippers have played very well in this game, but the Pacers' George has gone crazy, and the Clippers want to end this embarrassing streak at home. I'm afraid it's not that easy. Before the end of the second quarter, Van Gundy couldn't help but say that after such a period of silence, he finally recovered from the embarrassment of being slapped in the face by Tang Shuai before.
"It's really a classic return of the king (pun intended. Also referring to the title of the third step of the Lord of the Rings movie), I'm sure this year's All-Stars will definitely reserve a seat for George. Brin chimed in and said that George's performance had conquered him.
The Clippers' locker room. The players were a little sullen when they returned to the dressing room.
"Don, you come out for a moment." Kassel is long overdue. After coming in, he said directly by name.
Tang Shuai was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Cassel suspiciously. After seeing him nod, he was sure that he was calling himself.
"Don, call you!" Stephenson saw that Tang Shuai didn't react, and shouted at him.
He stood up and ran towards the door.
When he got out of the locker room, Cassel turned his head and said, "Don, have you practiced your back-to-back offensive skills during your time in the NBDL?" ”
Tang Shuai nodded, there was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, but he still looked at Kassel suspiciously, not knowing what Kassel's purpose was for suddenly asking.
"Do you have any experience defending back-to-back singles?" Cassel followed.
"I guess there is." Tang Shuai said uncertainly, when Johnson taught him back singles, he more or less mastered some skills, but if you want to talk about real combat experience, he doesn't seem to be able to count it.
"Sort of?" Cassel looked at Tang Shuai suspiciously.
"Yes." Tang Shuai said with certainty, it is true that Johnson is also the owner of a purple back bag, and he can still handle it, which means that as long as it is not the owner of Kobe Bryant's own back bag, it should not be a big problem.
"Okay." Cassel got the answer he wanted, and then said, "You saw the game in the second quarter, Paul is old and can't keep up with his footwork, and Lance is inexperienced in defending his back......"
Before Cassel finished speaking, Tang Shuai knew what he was going to say next, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Coach, are you going to let me defend George?!" ”
His height is only 1.9 meters, and George's height is 2.06 meters, not to mention anything else, it is the height difference of 16 centimeters that makes this thing unrealistic!
Cassel nodded: "Although your height is a little shorter, you should also observe that after George's serious injury, his current style of play is outside, he is more with the help of shooting after blocking and dismantling, and there are not many air cuts, what you really have to watch out for is his back play, so you are now the most suitable for defense in the team." ”
After listening to what Cassel said, Tang Shuai nodded all his understanding, but it was really like that.
"Do you have faith?" Kassel didn't wait for Tang Shuai to think about it, and asked directly.
"I can't guarantee that I will be able to prevent it, but I will do my best." Tang Shuai nodded and said.
"This is actually an opportunity for you, I believe what you just said is not a lie, but NBDL is only NBDL after all, this is your test, you will understand a lot of things when you cross it." Cassel followed.
Tang Shuai nodded, Kassel is right, NBDL is just NBDL, and the NBA's defensive intensity is not the same, if he can really go to the same position with George once, I believe it will be very helpful to his growth, which is the same as the principle of raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, some things can only be truly experienced after experience.
"I'm in danger this time, I hope you can play well, but even if you can't prevent it, you don't have to have a psychological burden, after all, the guy you want to fight is nearly twenty centimeters higher than you, and it is reasonable that you can't prevent it." Cassel followed.
"Coach, I'm still the same, I can't guarantee that I will prevent it, but I will do my best." Tang Shuai said with a firm gaze, since Kassel has chosen him to defend, then he will not make a second choice except to face it.
"Good!" Cassel patted him on the shoulder, "I'm looking forward to your performance in the second half, let's go back to the locker room!" (To be continued.) )
