The Golden Invincible of Basketball

v3 Chapter 685: Set yourself a small goal

After Benson told his story, he did not leave in a hurry, but chatted with the team members one after another.

This kind of gossip helps a lot to the team members' self-confidence.

I waited until he left, and the team members were still working hard.

After training, Tang Tian took Jokic for a chat.

Jokic's first two games came back very well. In the second game, he scored 4 three-pointers, which was the team's winning player.

But the feel of the next two games dropped significantly, and the previous game was 0-for-3 from the 3-point line.

Now that Williams is starting with Jokic, his feel will have a greater impact on the Pelicans.

And Jokic is the kind of player with a very high CQ, knowing that he doesn't feel good, he will not reluctantly take a shot, and will go to the basket more.

选择 This choice is correct, but the problem is that his strategic significance is not so great.

His defense is not as good as Whiteside, so the starting effect will be worse than Whiteside.

"Nicholas, AD also couldn't find the touch after his initial return. I said to him to continue shooting because the next goal must happen after the next shot."

Tang Tian used the example of Davis to encourage Whiteside, and now he also uses it to encourage Jokic.

"I know your concern. You worry that you will hurt the team if you miss it, but believe me, as long as you continue to shoot, it will help the team."

He then added.

我 "I shoot three-pointers. If I don't score, it is likely to be a long rebound. The Spurs will seize the opportunity to fight back."

Jokic expressed his concerns.

He really understands the game well.

"Despite the vote, the defense is over to me."

Tang Tian said this, giving a full sense of security.

Jokic nodded, Tang Tian talked about this, and he didn't even vote.

Tang Tian talked to Williams privately the next day.

Talking about the team's defense.

He said in front of Jokic that the defense was handed to him, that was just to give Jokic a peace of mind and build confidence for him.

Because most of the opportunities outside Jokic's three-point line came from his sudden points, he was mostly in the Spurs restricted area at that time, and it was too late to retreat.

真正 At that time, what really needed to back off was the Pelicans' outside players.

It's not a matter of whom, but the team needs to do the corresponding defensive deployment.

Williams agreed with what Tang Tian said, and adjusted the morning training class to use the retreat as the special training content.

That night, the fifth game of the Pelicans and Spurs series kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

The attendance rate in the arena is full.

Although the team is 1 to 3 behind, and the outside world is looking down on them, the support of the New Orleans fans for the Pelicans remains.

之前 Before the game began, the Pelicans were preparing for the game.

With the stimulation of Holt's interview and the spiritual encouragement given by Benson, the Pelicans' morale is not low now.

出发 Before departure, Tang Tian also pulled the team members to pour chicken soup for a while.

I was just different from what I said before.

"Forget the big scores of the two teams now, forget our current situation, don't think about how we can win this series, don't think about the next game, let's set a small goal for ourselves and win the game tonight , Just win the game tonight! "

Tang Tian's words were loud, and the players nodded hard after listening.

I think how to win the whole series will become as hopeless as the outside world talks, but if we focus our attention on the situation, the situation will be completely different.

Because of them, they just need to win the game tonight.

And in a game, the chances of the two sides winning are equal!

The TNT Big Three also came to the scene to explain.

Whether the Pelicans will be eliminated tonight is of course a topic they cannot escape.

"of course not!"

O'Neill still implements his tactics and stands firm with the Pelicans.

"They will not lose this home."

However, what was unexpected was that Kenny Smith was also fighting this time, and was in a camp with O'Neal.

克利 Buckley looked at his old partner and the new partner with disdain.

他们 "They will lose this series, but they should not lose at home."

Barkley's voice did not fall, O'Neal and Smith had already laughed.

With disdainful eyes, they thought that Barkley was going to be tough, but they did not expect to join them in the end.

O'Neal smiled and pointed his finger at Buckley.

It is okay to turn enemies into friends.

Buckley himself laughed.

However, he was not stupid, and the last time he was beaten, he summed up his experience.

Wasn't it true that the Pelicans should be down 1 to 3, but when he saw the spirit of the Pelicans when they came out of the player's channel, he knew that things were bad.

So he decisively chose to support the Pelicans.

Rarely, the TNT Big Three are bullish on the Pelicans tonight.

This also makes some fans who have not been able to go to the scene, especially domestic fans excited.

This is a very positive sign.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams' starters introduced one after another.

队 Both teams have the same starting point, and Jokic still replaces Whiteside as the starting center for the Pelicans.

Davies jumped to win over Gasol, giving the Pelicans the opportunity to lead the offensive ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Tang Tian held the ball in front of the field, the Spurs' strategy is the same as in the previous games, it is still a team with Tang.

However, Tang Tian's choice was very decisive. After a change of direction, he drew his hand against Green's defense.

"唰!"

He maintained the excellent form of the series, and the first shot came up.

The cheers on the scene are constant, this is a very good start.

The Pelicans went to the next city first, but when they looked back, the Spurs' hammer tactics were finished and Parker faced Jokic.

I saw Jokic defending and he hit a low-handed layup after a change of direction.

The Spurs' offensive thinking is clear, and they are still holding Jokic's defense.

As the Pelicans attacked, Tang Tian broke through to the top of the arc and gave the ball to Jokic.

Jokic took a decisive three-pointer.

"咣 当!"

Hit the iron.

Feeling this kind of thing, once you lose it, it is really not easy to find it.

However, the Pelicans' perimeter defense was fast and did not give the Spurs a chance to defend and fight back.

Retreating to halftime, Parker then misplaced and played Jokic. This time Jokic contracted the basket, he chose to shoot from the middle distance.

"唰!"

Parker also advanced in the middle distance.

The Spurs started 4-2.

At this moment, the Pelicans' trouble came.

Jokic's feel doesn't seem to be found, and Parker's condition looks good. Jokic's defense will be infinitely targeted.

At the side of the field, Whiteside glanced at Williams at this time, and the expression had written everything he wanted to say on his face.

I don't think you need me to start. If you continue to play like this, you will definitely lose. I am now the best choice for the Pelicans starting center.
