"Coach! I think..."
"Bai Qiang, I have decided on this matter! As the head coach, I have the obligation to be responsible for my players. You are a very talented player. You will shine in the NBA. Give it a try!"
Nash said with a smile.
In this life, there are too many things that people have no control over; if you are brave once in a while, maybe life will be more exciting!
The players in the locker room looked heavy. No one knew what kind of punishment head coach Nash would face after the game. If you dare to go against the top management, you will get good results!
…
Cavaliers bench.
"Guys, cheer up, the Big Three are no longer able to resist, victory is only one step away from us!"
"Coach, that Asian yellow guy is going to play!"
Bickerstaff looked towards where Okoro was pointing and saw Bai Qiang dunking under the basket to warm up.
"shit!"
Bai Qiang, who retired in the second quarter, returned to the game. His appearance made the Cavaliers slightly uneasy.
"Guys, in the second half we adopted a 2-3 zone defense tactic and focused on defending the basket. Don't let Huang Pizi score easily in the penalty area!"
"Coach, the Nets also have a lot of outside shooters. If they adopt a 1-star, 4-shooter tactic, wouldn't we lose more than we gain?"
"Man, judging from the Nets' performance in the first half, they couldn't make a shot even if they were open! As long as we defend well, they can't play!"
In the first half of the game, the Nets played really badly. In the final analysis, the defense was too poor, which led to continuous points loss, a loss of confidence, and finally the feeling became ice...
"Beep!"
The second half started with the Nets attacking.
Positional warfare is Brooklyn's strength, but they never played their own characteristic offense in this game.
Cleveland's defense in the penalty area is so intimidating that Durant also suffered two big blocks under the basket. The person who invited him to have hot pot was none other than former teammate Allen.
Harden made a sudden move at the top of the arc, successfully shook Okoro, and hit the inside.
But as soon as Harden reached the free throw line, he found that the Cavaliers' inside line quickly recovered and was perfect.
This is the advantage of the 2-3 zone defense, absolute protection of the inside.
Harden was stunned for a few seconds, and then he immediately understood that his opponent would catch their shots in the first half and changed their defensive tactics.
This is too much to look down on the team with the most offensive firepower in history!
Harden observed Joe Harris who was open in the left corner, hit the ground and passed the ball, and the basketball passed by two Cavaliers players.
Harris received the ball and made a decisive jump shot!
I thought I could defeat the enemy with a hundred steps, but I didn't expect it and voted three no-sticks!
Bai Qiang was about to fight for the rebound, but to his surprise, he was caught in the middle by the Cavaliers' Zhuang Shen and Nance Jr., making it difficult for him to move forward.
Even with the blessing of the gold-wrapped super system, there is nothing Bai Qiang can do unless he can fly!
Okoro grabbed the rebound and quickly advanced with the ball.
The Nets defended quickly, but still failed to limit their opponents' scoring.
Sexton in the bottom corner received the pass, took a feint shot, deceived Harris, took a step forward, and made a steady hit from mid-range.
Two more points were taken, and the score difference reached double digits.
Commentary desk.
"What a disgrace to the Big Three of the Nets! The point difference has been widened to 11 points. Talking about the best offensive firepower in history and the finale of the league are all nonsense!"
Buckley said bitterly.
He originally supported the Nets. Harden, Durant, and Irving were core players for any team, but no one expected that they would become a piece of shit when they got together!
O'Neal watched the excitement without taking it too seriously, and said: "I have said before that there will be no good results if you stick together! Young people in the league have long forgotten their loyalty. What's the point of jumping around for the championship!"
The NBA is just a business league, how can it be loyal or disloyal?
What's wrong with a player fighting for a championship?
Moreover, when a player reaches the end of his career, the team will still remember your contribution and always keep you in the team!
Life is cruel, follow your heart, do what you think is right, no matter what others say!
…
Back to the game.
Bai Qiang knew little about basketball tactics, so he asked Harden for advice when serving, and the latter replied:
"The defensive tactic used by the Cavaliers is a 2-3 zone defense. The advantage of this tactic is the absolute protection of rebounds. It will be even more difficult to score inside!"
"Then just shoot from outside!"
"Yes, if you want to break this tactic, you must use three-pointers. But the problem is that we are not accurate on the outside!"
After Bai Qiang understood the situation, he already had a countermeasure.
His teammates can't shoot, but he can do it himself. As far as the Cavaliers' current defensive strength is concerned, Bai Qiang's three-pointers are not worthy of the super system if they don't hit the frame.
Harden dribbled past half court.
Bai Qiang ran out from the inside, took Harden's hand, and took a quick shot!
[Ray Allen three-point shot]
"Poof!"
Bai Qiang took the lead in breaking the team's scoring drought by hitting a three-pointer!
In the next offensive round, the Nets used the same tactical cooperation, and Bai Qiang hit another three-pointer at the same position as before.
The double-digit score difference was instantly chased to 5 points, which shows the terrible scoring efficiency of this team.
"Beep!"
The Cavaliers request a timeout!
Bickerstaff never imagined that this yellow-skinned Asian center plays like a defender, with flexible movement and precise shooting, and is as terrifying as a demon on the court!
Nets bench.
Harden was so excited that he almost climbed on top of Bai Qiang. This man had saved himself from the pillar of shame twice.
Harden's first show in Brooklyn was originally thought to be a game of abuse. Unexpectedly, the Magic team rose up to resist, and everyone was at their wits' end.
The Nets almost lost the game, but fortunately Bai Qiang made a three-pointer at the last minute and sealed his throat with a sword!
Today, in the first game of the Big Three, the Cavaliers, a civilian lineup, got stronger when they were strong, beating the Nets to a pulp.
When the game was about to lose suspense, Bai Qiang stood up again and scored consecutively to stabilize the situation.
Whenever Harden is in a storm and unable to move, Bai Qiang will always appear by his side and give him a helping hand!
"Man, come down here, I'm going to choke!"
Harden hung on Bai Qiang, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Brother, that's great. I really saw you right. You are the strongest center in the league!"
Bai Qiang once said without hesitation at the press conference after his debut: I am the strongest center in the league!
At that time, he was ridiculed by everyone. It was really unbelievable that an undrafted guy who had just entered the league dared to speak so wildly.
Now it seems that Bai Qiang does have the strength to compete for this position and become another big man with both offense and defense.
"Man, needless to say, I am the strongest center in the league!"
Bai Qiang replied calmly.
"Brooklyn is no longer the Big Three, it has to add another giant!"
Harden continued.
It is not an exaggeration to say that, if things go smoothly, Bai Qiang will play better and better.
Nash looked at Bai Qiang with relief and said:
"Man, you were right, you are a really good player!"
Bai Qiang walked to Nash's side without saying a word.
He originally thought Steve Nash was a pig-headed coach who would do nothing to help the Nets except standing on the sidelines chewing gum.
At this moment, Bai Qiang has a little more respect for Nash, respect from the bottom of his heart!
