Chapter 191 He is cheating

After a quick glance at the time, Nelson called a timeout.

He is a little panicked now and needs to take a pause to clear his mind and see what to do next.

If you don't think of a way, you will lose this game.

"Don, something is wrong." Harris gritted his teeth.

Speeding up the tempo and forcing Olajuwon and Ewing to run through quick counterattacks was a strategy they formulated before the game. It should be no problem, but who knew it would be like this.

Olajuwon and Ewing don't look like they are overexerted physically.

The players who walked off the field also started to complain.

"I really can't figure out how he did it. After running for so long, he can still run." LaFrentz was very depressed.

Although he was in the fifth position, his range of motion was wider. Olajuwon followed him back and forth. Even the 26-year-old was a little out of breath and felt his legs were weak. Olajuwon was as if nothing was wrong.

Nowitzki also gave a wry smile. In the first half, in order to consume Ewing, he not only ran, but also constantly challenged Ewing under the basket and fought hard: "I felt that he was already very tired. I didn't expect to come back after halftime." , he actually recovered like a vigorous person, it’s like a ghost.”

Others were breathing heavily and looking at each other.

Such a fast pace and such high intensity were a bit overwhelming for them. They really couldn't figure out how two 40-year-old guys, Olajuwon and Ewing, could handle it.

will?

No matter how strong your will is, you still have to consider your physical limits.

At this moment, Rivers suddenly said quietly: "Could it be because of Chen Yu?"

"What do you mean?" Nelson looked at Rivers in confusion.

Rivers frowned and said slowly: "I remembered something. The year before last, when I was the head coach of the Magic, during that period, because Hill was injured and absent, we increased the training intensity to a very high level. At that time, The Magic's lineup is also very old, and many players are complaining."

"At that time, Chen Yu opened a small clinic in Orlando, just near the arena. After every training, Monte Otero and the others would go to him for a massage to relax their bodies. In their words, Chen Yu's massage had a certain effect. This incredible magic can quickly relieve their fatigue."

"They also said that if it weren't for Chen Yu, they wouldn't be able to survive that kind of high-intensity training."

"Could it be that during the halftime break, Chen Yu gave Olajuwon and Ewing a massage to relax their bodies."

After hearing this, Old Nelson and the others were dumbfounded.

After the game, the physical therapist gives a massage to relax the muscles and use techniques to release accumulated lactic acid and relieve fatigue. Of course they know this.

But during the game, just a fifteen-minute intermission, a simple massage can relieve the fatigue of half the game, which is incredible.

What kind of magic power does Chen Yu's massage have to have to achieve this effect?

Old Nelson looked at Nowitzki and others and gave a questioning look.

No one spoke to me, and no one tried Chen Yu's massage.

Nowitzki frowned and said: "I remember chatting with Hardaway during the All-Star Game and talking about how he recovered. He said that Chen Yu's massage was very powerful, maybe like Coach Rivers. That’s what you said.”

"Can it be so powerful?" Little Nelson was full of questions. He knew that Chen Yu was very skilled in medicine, but he could quickly recover his physical strength with just a massage. Why couldn't he believe it?

Silver Fox Harris pushed up his glasses and said: "Maybe that's true. There must be something special about his massage and physical therapy. Otherwise, Olajuwon and the others would be able to play healthy in such a long season. If it weren't for something Special methods can relieve fatigue, but they will definitely not work.”

In addition to accidents on the field, fatigue is the biggest factor in player injuries. Over the long season, fatigue continues to accumulate, just like a bow, the bowstring continues to tighten and eventually breaks.

A veteran of Olajuwon's age has played 80 games this season and has not suffered any injuries. It is incredible to think about it now.

"Then this is simply cheating!" Old Nelson exclaimed.

Forget about the regular season, now is the playoffs. What is the biggest problem for teams that make it to the playoffs? Physical fitness is definitely one of them.

It is completely different from the high-intensity games of the regular season, and the schedule is intensive, with five games and seven games in one game.

Why so many teams hope to advance quickly is because they want to give players a few more days to rest and wait for work.

To really fight all the way to win the championship in seven games, the drain on the players is simply incredible.

Now that Chen Yu has such an ability, he can quickly restore the players' physical strength even during the game. This is not cheating, what is.

It can be said that stimulants are not as effective as Chen Yu.

Several assistant teachers had ugly expressions.

Harris also glanced at Rivers resentfully, knowing this situation, why didn't you tell him earlier.

If they had known that Chen Yu had this skill, they would never have formulated such a strategy before the game. Now, the plan has completely failed.

"Dirk, Michael!" Old Nelson came back to his senses and looked at Nowitzki and Finley: "There are still seven and a half minutes left, we are 8 points behind, we still have a chance. Control the rhythm, we can't Any faster, we need success rate.”

Increase the speed, the rhythm becomes faster, the Mavericks consume more people, and the attack success rate is not high.

Now that we know that speeding up is useless, there is no point in going faster. We must slow down and ensure the success rate.

"You are stars. I need you to stand up and win the game for us. We must win one of the two away games. There is still a chance in this game because Hardaway came back too quickly and was in poor condition." Old Nelson said calmly vocal channel.

In the playoffs, when both sides fight to the end, after eliminating tactics, physical strength, and other factors, the final test is the ability of the stars.

After watching today's game, Nelson also felt that in terms of paper strength, the Mavericks are not as good as the Suns.

The Suns, with a well-organized lineup, are terrifyingly powerful.

But now there is a chance, because Hardaway may come back in a hurry and be in average condition. If this game is given up, wait two days until the 24th, and the Suns will be more difficult to deal with after Hardaway has rested.

If they lose two away games, the Mavericks will be in danger.

Nowitzki and Finley looked at each other and nodded vigorously. You are a star, and you have the highest salary in the team. If you don't stand up, who will?

After the timeout ended, Skiles immediately discovered that the Mavericks had slowed down their rhythm and started to run tactics steadily, which improved their success rate.

"Did they give up?" Jim Boylan turned his head and glanced at the other side.

Old Nelson still stood on the sidelines with a serious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Probably so." Scales snorted, his expression still calm.

In this game, he hardly made any adjustments. He played how he usually played and how he played today.

The main thing is to let Hardaway return to form quickly.

On the Mavericks side, there were two obvious moves.

The first is to set up a zone defense to limit the Suns' breakthrough.

But the effect is limited. As for zone defense, it’s not like the Suns haven’t practiced.

Then there's speed.

Skiles is not worried about this at all, because he knows Chen Yu. During the meeting with the medical team yesterday, he raised this issue with Chen Yu and hoped that Chen Yu could protect the players during the halftime break. Restore the physical strength of Olajuwon and Ewing as much as possible.

He knew that Chen Yu had this ability and had seen him more than once during the season, although he didn't know how Chen Yu did it.

As for the Mavericks adjusting back and slowing down the pace, Skiles is even less worried.

The Mavericks, who return to their regular play style, will only die more miserably when encountering the sun.

Because the Suns are very inferior to the Mavericks in terms of lineup.

Especially Kidd restraining Nash.

The two are no strangers to each other. When Nash first entered the league, he was a substitute for Kidd.

Kidd has excellent defensive ability that a point guard should never have, while Nash is thin and his performance can be imagined under Kidd's defense, which is familiar with him.

In this game, it was through speeding up and chaotic fighting that Nash got some chances to take action. If it really came to a one-on-one positional battle, his performance would definitely be the same as in the last game.

Hardaway's performance in this game was average, but it was offensive and defensive. Hardaway was still very active.

His defense can only be said to be above the standard, but he has height, wingspan, and good basic conditions for preventing breakthroughs. Seriously, his defense is not bad. Finley only scored 16 points today, and it was Hardawei who defended him.

But Hardaway's touch is really a big problem.

Skiles frowned, he didn't know what caused it now.

Is your wrist injury still not healed? Or is it already healed, but I haven’t played for ten days and can’t find my form?

Just as he was thinking about it, Nowitzki met Ewing in the low post and hit another jump shot.

Skiles frowned slightly and returned from the timeout. Nowitzki seemed to have scored two in the same position.

It's not that Ewing's defense is not good enough, he is already very good, but that Nowitzki is a little bit unreasonable.

After all, he is also a star, so he can't stop him when the touch comes.

But the key now is the Suns themselves, who still haven't taken any outside shots.

With an 8-point difference, there were only 4 points left in the blink of an eye.

Just when Skiles was considering calling a timeout to adjust, Ewing suddenly reached out and asked for the ball.

He seemed a little anxious.

Kidd glanced at Ewing's position from the corner of his eye, but didn't give it.

"Give me the ball!"

Ewing sat down on Nowitzki and yelled at Olajuwon.

Olajuwon put his back against LaFrentz, ducked and hit Ewing, quickly turned around and cut straight to the basket.

He wanted to cooperate with Ewing.

Ewing didn't seem to see it. He roared and hit the ball.

Nowitzki staggered, feeling as if he had been gored by a bull.

He gritted his teeth and hit the ball hard, but Ewing obviously had more experience in low-post offense. He lowered his shoulders and tried to get up, deceiving Nowitzki. Then he quickly stepped forward and picked the ball into the basket from a small angle with his right hand. .

Ewing, who succeeded in the attack, hammered his chest with a fierce look on his face, but roared at Hardaway who was not far away.

"What on earth are you doing? Can you concentrate? They are already catching up!"

Ewing glared at Hardaway fiercely.

He felt that Hardaway was sleepwalking in this game, and his condition was in a mess.

He knew Hardaway was injured and made a hasty comeback in less than ten days.

But there is no way.

If it was the regular season, he wouldn't say anything, but this is the playoffs and there is no time for you to slowly regain your form.

If you are the core of the team's offense, then you must stand up.

Because I want to win!
