Chapter 230 Alternate lead
The score is 94:95, and there are 2 minutes and 55 seconds left.
Prichard quickly called for a timeout, and when the opponent's firepower was strong, he had to change his strategy.
"If you want to stabilize, there are still three minutes left. As long as you stabilize, we will win."
"Defense change should be timely, don't chase the ball, don't make them shoot so easily."
"Defend it, the success rate of the fight is here. Xue sees you, and others are also ready to take action."
"Come on, kill them, they can no longer run!"
...
After the head coach's passionate roar, Xue Ding and his teammates stood on the court again.
The score was very tight, and no one dared to relax first, and there were no substitutions on both sides.
Xue Ding knew the coach's intention was not to let the Suns play the rhythm they were good at.
Now I am in the lead. As long as I keep it steady and play every attack well, the pressure will be on the Suns.
Xue Ding was shocked by the adjustment of the Suns, and Xiao Si stopped entering the inside.
The five people were running pick-and-roll on the outside, and they took action immediately when they had the chance without hesitation.
The five people have three-pointers. Whoever has the chance to take action will instantly master the initiative. The hands of the three-pointers are frequently used, and the Trail Blazers' defense will always be slower.
Faced with this situation, Prichard had no better way, he could only hope that Xue Ding could lead the Trail Blazers to continue playing steadily. The reason is very simple. The hit rate cannot always be so good.
Xue Ding held the ball, Hill rushed up directly, and just made an attack wave. Xue Ding felt that Hill's confidence seemed to be much higher, and kept squeezing himself with his body.
Xue Ding protected his space with his left hand, and accelerated and stopped quickly and took a step back under his crotch. Hill rushed out.
Jump up, take action, hit two points on the free throw line, extremely relaxed.
In the face of all provocations, the best counterattack is action, which is Xue Ding's usual philosophy.
The Suns served quickly, Nash dribbled quickly, and the Trail Blazers changed their strategy and did not continue to press the whole game. They quickly landed, followed their defenders and did not give the Suns a chance to run.
Prichard's adjustment is very effective. Although it is a slight adjustment, it is very targeted.
The Suns, who had just run wildly, suddenly realized that they could not run anymore.
The Trail Blazers follow the defensive formation and look forward to their position. They don’t press the whole game or follow the ball, which instantly disrupts the Suns’ rhythm.
After leaving the free space, the ball returned to Nash's hand, and Xue Ding quickly pushed him up.
The other teammates were also closely following their own people.
The defensive intensity increased instantly, which was also why Xue Ding admired Prichard. He could make changes quickly based on the situation on the field, and it was also very practical.
First, the whole game pressed tightly, forcing the Suns to run wildly. When the situation was wrong, they immediately adjusted and implemented a half-time press.
As a result, the Suns' rhythm was disrupted again. I found that no one was chasing me and I couldn't run anymore. As soon as my speed dropped, I continued to fall into the most annoying positional battle.
But Xue Ding liked it very much, and caught the ball at low post. He tricked Hill with a fake move and rushed to the inside line. Barbosa had long been ambushed at the bottom line on the right and rushed over to make up for defense.
Xue Dingren was in the air, with Fry on the front and Barbosa on the side. He tweeted his left hand behind and the ball flew straight to the bottom corner on the left.
Batum, who had been waiting for a long time, received the ball and made a steadily three-pointer.
Batum ran over and slapped Xue Ding to celebrate the cooperation between the two.
Score 95:93.
The Trail Blazers took the lead, and there were 2 minutes and 55 seconds left.
Nash quickly passed the half with the ball. Facing Xue Ding's pressing, he dribbled the ball sideways to the 45° position on the left. Hill raised a quick pick-and-roll. Nash accelerated in one step and broke through inwards. Fernandez, who was replacing defense, followed closely.
Nash leaned against Fernandez and hit the basket with his right hand.
The score is 95:94, and the Trail Blazers lead by 1 point.
Xue Ding knew when he saw Nash's attack that Nash didn't dare to take risks at this time and was also pursuing steady progress.
All the home fans stood up, and at the final decisive moment, everyone shouted.
“mvp”
“mvp”
“mvp”
...
Xue Ding passed the ball through half the game, and it was obvious that his teammates pulled the space openly. Everything was left to you.
Hill was waiting for Xue Ding one meter away at the three-point line.
Fry also consciously leaned towards Hill's weak side to prevent Xue Ding from breaking through.
Xiao S kept getting stuck in the inside and wanted to carry Chandler behind him, and everyone was ready for Xue Ding to break through.
Xue Ding stopped the ball and pushed the ball directly on the spot.
Prichard on the sidelines shook his arms angrily, and he never expected that Xue Ding would throw three points from this far distance at this time.
The two teams have 1 point difference in scores, and there are 2 minutes and 16 seconds left. If you play steadily, you basically succeed in attacking and then successfully defending one.
So it depends on who made the mistake first. Xue Ding, who was very calm in the fight, did take action at this time.
The fans who were watching the football felt the same. They were shocked at first, and then started shouting wildly.
A three-pointer with a long distance score of 98:94, and the Trail Blazers led by 4 points.
Xue Ding looked relaxed and didn't feel anything wrong. He thought in his mind that his 810 penalty spot was not a waste of money.
Gentry immediately called a timeout to relieve the pressure on his team members.
If the offense cannot respond and continue to let the Trail Blazers score, their mentality will definitely collapse.
It’s very simple. The voices of home fans are motivation and can instantly turn into pressure.
As a senior coach, he is not only very professional in tactics, but also has rich experience in controlling this situation.
"Now you don't have to think too much. Treat this game as a very common game in your life. Take it easy, yes, just relax."
"No one here can put pressure on you, except you yourself?"
...
On the Trail Blazers side, Prichard was also quickly making tactical adjustments.
"Defend the outside, don't give them any chance to shoot three-pointers"
"Tyson, expand directly, don't hesitate, don't hesitate, just defend against three points, victory is ours."
...
The suspension ends and both sides continue to play.
Nash dribbled through half the game, and the arc top was placed, Barbosa and Hill were in the corner, and Sir was standing at the free throw line. Chandler immediately rushed up, and Fry came up to pick-and-roll and hid Xue Ding.
Nash rushed to the inside line in one step, Chandler instinctively cut across and repaired defense, Sir quickly ran to the 45° three-point line on the right, and Fry quickly landed towards the arc top three-point line, forming two open positions in an instant.
Chandler instantly realized that it was a mistake for him to fill the position, but it was too late to make up for defense.
