Chapter 26 Playing at the most critical moment
"Zhou Yuhang once again recounts that he thinks the Spurs can't defend him!"
Similar discussions have begun again.
After interviewing Zhou Yuhang by reporters in the midfield locker room, many people started discussing this.
Zhou Yuhang on the Internet has now gained increasing influence and attention. From the initial discussion with a sense of ridicule, some people have been beaten to the present.
As for China, most fans certainly support it, especially after Zhou Yuhang's performance got better and better, but there were also certain black fans.
Now everyone is discussing what Zhou Yuhang said in the locker room, but after all, the sentence Zhou Yuhang said was said before the start of the competition, so everyone discussed it and stopped.
...Zhou Yuhang was still closing his eyes in the locker room, trying to recover his energy.
Rivers had already come to the locker room with a tactical board to discuss the tactics and various solutions for the second half with Paul and several assistant coaches. The team that got Paul was able to get an extra coach, and he was used to pointing fingers at the team's tactics.
"I think Zhou Yuhang should also be allowed to play in the second half as soon as possible!" Paul argued at this time: "We all understand that he scored a lot of goals in the first half, and he should be like this in the second half! He should stay on the court, this is giving him a chance, and this is also giving our team a chance!"
Rivers shook his head slightly: "Chris, I understand what you mean, but I have to say that our player needs to improve his physical strength now!"
After saying this, Paul also understood. He also recalled Zhou Yuhang's previous performances and so on, and he also understood a lot in his heart.
"OK!"
Zhou Yuhang himself also secretly lamented that physical strength is not so easy to recover. You should know that in NBA, even many superstars are troubled by physical strength problems. They may cut melons and vegetables when they are full of energy in the first half, but they are sluggish in the second half.
Zhou Yuhang was not just the consumption of the second quarter, but more because the direct withdrawal of the 30% physical strength value brought a huge impact.
Now he doesn't want to play immediately in the second half, worried that he will have physical problems.
Fortunately, Rivers did not allow him to play in the third quarter. In this quarter, both sides played offense and defense at the playoff level and even the finals level. However, the Clippers' excellent touch and Paul's 4 assists in this quarter made the score 68-60 at the end of the third quarter, and the Clippers were already leading by 8 points.
The defending champion Spurs seem to be falling at the feet of the Clippers today!
Zhou Yuhang watched the game from close range. He had completed the task today and got a lot of points, so he was in a relaxed mood now and was enjoying himself on the bench.
In the fourth quarter, the two sides still fought life and death at this rhythm, and each ball was fighting for everything, and everyone's physical strength was also falling rapidly.
With the last 5 minutes and 55 seconds left in this game, the score was 76-70, and the Clippers were still leading by 6 points, but from the moment, the Clippers are not stable either.
Su Han in the studio of the sports station shook his head and sighed: "After performing well in the second quarter, Zhou Yuhang has not been replaced. In fact, this is not very good for a young player who has already felt it!"
Su Han has always been a commentator who is very enthusiastic about the Chinese basketball career. Everyone knows his attention and appreciation of Chinese players.
He continued: "I think Zhou Yuhang must be anxious now and wishes he could go on stage quickly..."
When Su Han finished saying this, the camera of the live broadcast camera was just given to Zhou Yuhang. In the camera, Zhou Yuhang was lying on the bench stool, holding the backrest with his hands, and his face seemed to have been as comfortable and comfortable as if he had just taken care of his health. He seemed to notice that the camera camera was looking at him, and quickly straightened his waist and sat upright, looking like a spiritual shareholder who was worried about the situation on the field.
"cough!"
This scene made people speechless. Su Kao coughed dryly, and then quickly said: "Of course, it is also a good thing for players to have a good mentality, and we also need players to have a good mentality."
Just as they were talking, the Spurs suddenly completed a steal, then Ginobili hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and then both sides hit an iron, and then the Clippers continued to hit the iron, but the Spurs achieved a 21 by Duncan, the inside!
The score became 76 tied, and the two sides tied!
For a time, the storm on the court suddenly changed, and the defending champion was also showing his ability.
Then, the Clippers' offense still failed, and the Spurs played steadily. Duncan still used his steps to make Griffin unable to defend and hit a layup.
78-76.
The Spurs have already taken the lead.
Rivers shouted a pause.
After the timeout, Rivers wanted to curse, tried to suppress his emotions, and then said to everyone: "Fight well next time! Fight the success rate, defend hard, and don't worry about defending and counterattacking, fall into the positional battle!"
Then, he said to Zhou Yuhang: "Zhou, have you rested? You go!"
Zhou Yuhang didn't expect to call him, but he also said loudly at the first time. On the other hand, Barnes looked very ugly after hearing this sentence, but he also knew that he did not perform well before.
"Running, you can shoot when you catch the ball! But you must ensure the success rate!" Rivers said to Zhou Yuhang.
This is a very serious but a bit ambiguous statement to ensure success rate. This is the first time Zhou Yuhang has heard Rivers make such a request to him, but there is nothing to say now. Listening to the coach, he nodded and agreed.
The game starts again.
Opposite Zhou Yuhang is Leonard.
The first ball is from the Clippers.
Paul started to command after halftime, and Zhou Yuhang was running according to his command. After so long rest, his physical strength has indeed rebounded a lot, and the speed and mass of running are also increasing.
Paul George's running skills are better than Pierce. When Zhou Yuhang walked out of the inside again, Paul's pass had already arrived.
Leonard has already caught up. After Zhou Yuhang received the ball, he followed Rivers' guidance and shot as soon as he received the ball!
"Bang!"
The basket rejected him, to be fair, the ball was still disturbed by Leonard.
The rebound was picked up by the Spurs, and then immediately launched a counterattack. In the end, Parker caused a foul. Although it was just a free throw, the score had become 79-76, and the Spurs had already led by 3 points.
Chapter completed!
