The tough guy on the bench looked at Bradley, his eyes full of the shadow of himself when he hit the basketball hoop here.

Big Johnson took a baseline kick and Curry was preparing to cross half court.

But when he turned around, he saw Bradley waiting for him in the backcourt.

Curry is convinced, come again?

Do not you upset!

Stop pestering me, it's impossible for us!

Before Curry could dribble beyond the three-point line, Bradley came around.

This time, although Curry successfully carried the ball through half the court with his speed and excellent dribbling skills, he was still knocked out of rhythm.

It's just past half time. It's completely different to come over easily and to do it during a confrontation.

Wayne looked at it and said it was scary. If Bradley is placed in the international arena like this, the current Chinese team may not be able to survive half a game.

Curry was so distracted that he passed the ball to Tony after halftime.

No wonder, in Wayne's previous life, Curry once said, "Holiday, Allen and Bradley all defend very well, but Seth defends me the best."

Even in Curry's mind, Bradley's defense is extremely good.

Tony caught the basketball and was ecstatic.

Hahahahaha, no one guarded me!

Huh? Something's wrong? Why are there only four people on the field in Green Kai?

It wasn't until he lowered his head that Tony realized that little Thomas was in front of him...

It’s not that there was no one on guard, it’s that Tony didn’t see it.

After all, you can't see it when you look up.

Thomas's height of 1.75cm is destined to be a big hole on the defensive end.

However, young coach Stevens can often use the power of the system to hide Thomas on the defensive end.

Against the Trail Blazers, the way to hide Thomas is simpler and more crude, just let him defend Tony.

Although Thomas is short, his fighting ability is not bad. If Tony wants to have a confrontation, he may not be able to beat Thomas.

If you want to beat Thomas, you can only use your height advantage to shoot over his head.

But if Tony shoots, it's not Thomas who blows the ball, he can just let Tony take two steps.

Tony: Funnymudpee! I just don’t take action easily, because as soon as I take action, it will kill the game!

Looking at Thomas in front of him, Tony could only give the ball to Wayne with tears in his eyes.

You can only watch it from a distance and don't play with it. It's so fucking stupid.

As soon as Wayne received the basketball, he was double-teamed by Amir Johnson and Olynyk.

Amir Johnson is a conscientious blue-collar No. 4 position who defends fiercely and loves confrontation.

Let alone Olynyk, he is a complete butcher.

The boy band that Stevens arranged for Wayne really made Wayne very uncomfortable.

Two big men, one white and one black, come up to you and start beating you up and down without saying a word. Who can stand this?

Fortunately, Wayne is very capable of hitting the ball from double teams.

He passed the ball through a gap in the crowd to Big Johnson, who was left open. Big Johnson took off and dunked under the basket.

Although the Blazers scored a goal, Marshal Lu Kai showed a faint smile.

He succeeded!

In his mind, the most important thing on the defensive end is not to prevent the opponent from scoring a single point, but to contain the opponent's top scorer.

As long as Curry and Wayne can be forced to pass the ball, the defense is successful.

You ask Olazhuki to dunk, you ask him to dunk as hard as he can, even to the point of collapse from exhaustion.

If he can kill the game, I lose!

Wayne began to find that this game was difficult to play, and Green Kai was really confrontational on the defensive end.

For the Blazers, who are playing back-to-back games, encountering this kind of defense is the most uncomfortable.

Moreover, Lukai's tough defense also made the fans at the scene even more unscrupulous in their criticism.

"Hey, you're a weakling."

"Aren't you quite capable? If you have the guts, you are a weakling. Why are you trying to blame me?"

"It must be very painful for your wife to meet a softie like you. After all, Asian sizes are not good, they are still soft!"

In the stands, there were already several people yelling and cursing.

Wayne turned his head and glanced at the audience, but it was impossible to find who was cursing. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Fuck, a bunch of bastards!" Wayne gritted his teeth. As a person who played from the No. 1 position to the coaching bench, he really didn't mind upgrading to play from the No. 1 position to the audience seat.

But there is no way, we can't be like Artest in the original history, who just goes to beat people indiscriminately without looking for the right person.

Lukai attacks, this is also Lukai’s first positional battle attack today.

Facing Thomas Jr., Tony was ready.

I didn't hit you on the offensive end just now, but I won't let you go on the defensive end.

I don’t understand the offense thing, but don’t even think about it!

In the NBA, there is a saying: "Superstars make the game easy."

Either open up one-on-one singles, or split the ball after being double-teamed. Superstars often only need the simplest tactics to defeat most teams.

But Thomas, the Celtics' leading scorer, is not such a player.

On the contrary, Coach Stevens customized a very complex, running-heavy, pick-and-roll offensive system for Thomas.

If Thomas is allowed to focus on singles, the final result will inevitably be that Celtics No. 4 becomes an inefficient scorer instead of an efficient All-Star.

Stevens knows this very well, but Thomas has excellent explosive power and finishing ability. His strengths and weaknesses are very obvious.

So, he tried to find a way to let Thomas use his advantages.

Thomas didn't get the ball and just rush forward, but gave the ball to Bradley.

Subsequently, Thomas cut inside without the ball.

Just as he ran into the three-second zone, he made a sharp turn and circled outside the three-point line.

At this time, Bradley had already passed the ball to Olynyk in the high post, and Olynyk exchanged hands with Thomas, and also provided a screen for Thomas.

Hand-to-hand while running is Thomas's best style of play.

This style of play allows him to fully utilize his speed advantage.

Tony was already a bit unable to keep up with Thomas, and when he was blocked by Olynyk, he was completely out of position.

Seeing this situation, Big Ji quickly changed his defense, but Little Thomas kicked the ground hard and was able to accelerate!

With a whoosh, he passed by McGee who was on defense.

The league's top breakthrough speed is the characteristic of Thomas Jr.

After the breakthrough, facing Wayne who came up to defend, Thomas made a mid-range jump shot before Wayne could pounce on him.

The basketball hit the net steadily, and Thomas made it in his first shot.

This is Thomas, and this is why he can become an All-Star at a height of 175.

When watching football in the past, Wayne was actually very puzzled. Why should someone like Thomas Jr. do this?

Why is he able to average 28.9 points per game and rank second in the league in scoring, almost winning the scoring title with a height of 175?

Why can he score 53 points in a single game in the playoffs?

Why can he bring the mediocrely talented Lu Kai into the Eastern Conference Finals?

But looking back now, everything makes sense.

He is a capable player, but he is also a system player. He and Lu Kai complement each other.

Without Thomas, Stevens' system would be meaningless.

Without Stevens' system, Thomas Jr. would not have been able to create miracles.

Only when Thomas meets Stevens will Green Kai's progress be complete.

If a player with good ability encounters a system that is most suitable for him, it is not surprising that he can achieve dazzling results.

4 to 2, in just a few rounds, Green Kai showed their strength on both offense and defense.

And Wayne could feel that Green Kai was more prepared for this game than the Trail Blazers.

The last game in February may not be that easy to win.
