Chapter 507 Tyronn Lu's Tactical Suggestion (Second Update!)
"My mother! The second person in history and the third year as a rookie, this is too... too awesome?!"
"What's even more amazing is that Tang still has the opportunity to compete for the MVP. He may only have one less steals title than Jordan in a single season!"
"Why do I think Don is already on the way to chase Jordan?"
"He is a lion, a growing lion, and when he grows up, he will be the next spokesperson of the league!"
"Ahem, old buddy, it's not that exaggerated. The competitors in Jordan's era were very perverted. Tang's main competitor was Noah..."
"That's true, but this honor proves that Tang is really good enough!"
"At this time, we have to mention our Comrade Buford."
"Buford: ..."
...
After the Pelicans won the third game, the promotion situation is very good.
Correspondingly, the Clippers' promotion situation has become severe.
If they lose in the next game, then this round of the series will most likely have to be accounted for.
Rivers is under a lot of pressure.
As the champion coach, he was acquired by the Clippers management with a draft pick.
If he was hacked six in the first year, then he would really lose face.
He was worrying, Lu came to his office.
Lu was best known as a player for defending Iverson and being stepped over by the opponent.
As a player, he was average, but as a coach he did a great job.
Born in 1977, he was actually only one year younger than Kobe.
After retiring from the Magic in 2009, he served as an assistant to Rivers in the Celtics.
When Rivers arrived in the Clippers, he followed him and became Rivers' chief assistant.
At such a young age, if it weren't for his appearance, he could be called a young marshal of the league.
"Taylor, you're here."
Rivers saw Lu coming, smiled and motioned him to sit down.
Rivers' chicken soup league is famous, but in addition to chicken soup, all of his assistants are also excellent.
Like Thibodeau and Lawrence Frank, who have already played well, they were all assistant coaches of Rivers.
There are also Gent Li and Tyronn Lue who are now under the account, and they will also be NBA head coaches in the future.
"Any suggestions?"
When Lu sat down, Rivers asked directly.
Lu is a tactical genius, and some of his tactical ideas are very creative, which is also the main reason why Rivers trusts him.
"I think our focus on Don may be a bit too big. We need to focus more on Davis."
Lu said.
Rivers nodded thoughtfully after listening.
In these three games, Tang Tian scored 28 points in the first game, 33 points in the second game, and 23 points in the third game.
And Davis, 30 points in the first game, 13 points in the second game, and 30 points in the third game.
A very clear fact is that when Tang Tian scores high, the Clippers win, and when Davis scores high, the Pelicans win.
"Don is now like a weakened Kobe, or we can treat him as Iverson. In the playoffs, he scored high points and can't help the team win."
Lu went on to let Rivers know what his suggestion was.
Let Tang Tian score and limit other Pelicans players, which will give the Clippers an advantage at the tactical level.
Rivers nodded and looked at Lu with a smile, his eyes full of admiration.
My teaching assistants never disappoint.
With one day left until the series kicks off, the Pelicans and Clippers are preparing for battle.
The training atmosphere of the Pelicans is very good.
2 to 1, playing at home, these are all reasons, not to mention that the team has just harvested the best general manager and best defensive player.
This is a great affirmation of their performance this season.
After the training, Tang Tian and Davis rested on the sidelines, and they had to practice again later.
"They will definitely defend you in the next game. You have to be mentally prepared."
Tang Tian vaccinated Davis first.
His intuition as a coach told him that if Davis performed so well, he would definitely be targeted.
"Defend against me? That's a good thing, so your defensive pressure will be less."
Davis spoke.
Tang Tian smiled and patted Davis on the arm.
This guy actually has moments of inspiration.
Playing is like playing chess. The Clippers' total defense is fixed, and whoever they lean towards will definitely have less defensive pressure on others.
On this night, the series of other groups continued.
The Heat have swept the Eagles 4-0, and the momentum this year is extremely strong.
The Lakers also lead the Warriors 3-1, and the promotion situation is very good.
What is somewhat surprising is the Spurs and the Rockets. Harden performed bravely and led the team to a 2-2 draw with the Spurs. No one in the Spurs can restrain him well.
The second brother performed well, and the eldest brother can't be left behind.
Durant contributed a 3-point lore in the game against the Grizzlies, helping the team tie the game at 2-2 after falling behind 0-2.
It's not so easy for him to be eliminated in the first round, he must beat Tang Tian's Pelicans!
...
A day later, the game between the Clippers and the Pelicans continued at the New Orleans Arena.
The scene is still crowded with people, and the excitement on the faces of the fans is stronger than that of the previous game.
Because of winning this game, the Pelicans are about to win the match point of the series!
Tonight's commentary is from ESPN's Brin and Miller, but in addition to them, the commentary booth also has a special guest, Tracy McGrady.
McGrady joined ESPN shortly after retiring and became a guest commentator.
Special invitation means that he will not be permanent, but he will be invited to explain if necessary.
"T-Mac, do you think the Pelicans can take a chance and win tonight?"
The game hadn't started yet, the commentary booth warmed up the game first, and Breen immediately asked McGrady a question.
Brin has been a professional commentator for more than ten years, and digging holes is already a habit.
"Yes, they have a chance, a great chance."
McGrady's commentary experience is almost the same as that of Houston before, and he answered quite simply at the moment.
Brin smiled and looked at McGrady, waiting for McGrady's next words. This kind of commentary partner is his favorite.
Miller chuckled secretly, and he couldn't count how many guests were passed by Brin.
"I like Anthony Davis, he's as talented as me, and I like Don, he's just as handsome as me."
But McGrady's next words made Brin and Miller laugh.
McGrady's words are pretentious and irrefutable, and they are very explanatory!
Explaining this thing also depends on talent, O'Neill is the kind of talent bursting, it seems that McGrady also has great potential!
"So because you like them, you think they have a chance?"
Brin asked after laughing.
"That's just one aspect. In this crucial battle, my instinct tells me that Tang will definitely explode. I know that guy very well."
Maddie continued.
Ever since Tang Tian beat Harden fatly at the beginning of the season and passed on his dry-drawing technique, he couldn't like Tang Tian very much.
Brin and Miller nodded one after another after listening.
McGrady has been teammates with the Spurs and Tang Tian, and he has the right to speak in this regard.
And Tang Tian said, he has a super big heart, and he has always played more stable in the more critical games.
While they were talking, the scene had entered the opening ceremony, and the starting players of both sides were introduced one after another.
The starting lineups on both sides are the same as in the last game.
On the Clippers side are the Big Three Garbarnes and Redick.
The Pelicans are also the twin stars Gaho Ledi, Evans and Morrow.
Tang Tian was the last to appear, and the decibel level reached a peak when he appeared.
Tonight, they are going to win!
Thanks to Xi_Ren, 1025 Long 1025, and Yun Xi for their rewards for riding the wind and sword.
