Almighty Coach

Boston North Shore Garden Arena.

Celtic center Fred wiped the sweat from his head. He looked at the man named Gray in front of him with a trace of fear in his helpless expression.

Fred couldn't help but think of the night a few years ago, it was the NCAA finals, the University of Florida led by Fred against the University of Kansas led by Gray. In that game, the University of Florida finally won, but Fred was completely exploded by Gray.

Fred still remembers how invincible Gray was on that day. When Gray was one enemy and two, he easily beat Fred and his other inside partner.

This is the psychological shadow of Fred's life.

Today, Fred is already an All-Star center, and the inside partner who was exploded with Fred on that day has also become an All-Star, and both have entered the NBA's best defensive player for a while, which can be described as a success. The genius center who knocked them out in the NCAA Finals fell due to injury.

After a lapse of years, Fred has even forgotten the opponent who embarrassed him. However, in today's game, Fred saw him again, and he is a gray state.

Fred seemed to see it, and then that one hand exploded his Gray.

The All-Star plus defensive center is not a normal thing. Even when he was young, he was the most talented player. Gray can be described as one enemy and two. It can only be described as "horror".

On the field, the Celtics played a pick-and-roll tactic. After the pick-and-roll, Gray switched to the Celtics guard.

I saw the Celtics defender suddenly speed up, rushed to the penalty area, and then got up to attack the basket. Just after the ball left, Gray's big slap suddenly stretched out and directly fanned the ball.

A pretty big hat!

It's a pity that this is Boston's home court, and their players ate a big cap, and the fans on the scene could not cheer.

On the bench, Celtic coach Arnold frowned, and he obviously did not expect that the ball would be taken down by Gray.

Arnold's record in coaching the NBA is very good, but his basketball coaching career started from the NCAA. He has been a head coach at Butler University for more than ten years. The coaching of the Celtics is his first stop in the NBA, so he Never experienced the era of super centers ruling the NBA.

Because of this, Arnold couldn't find a good way to deal with Gray for a while.

"Is there another super center in the league?" Arnold licked his lips.

There have been no new super centers in the NBA for more than ten years. People have even forgotten how perverted super centers are, and young coaches like him do n’t even know how to deal with super centers, because he has never played with super centers. The center played.

"What about super centers? The NBA is no longer the NBA more than a decade ago! Now the NBA has entered the era of small balls, and the era of a super center breaking a team is over!" Arnold sneered. With a cry.

At this moment, I saw a Clippers player take the ball at the three-point line, he suddenly started to face the defensive player, the ball broke through.

The Celtics' defensive player immediately retreated and wanted to block his way forward, and a defender on the other side was also prepared to help defend.

But he suddenly stopped suddenly, and then jumped, his body began to lean back.

After an emergency stop, the jump shot is raised, the posture is very elegant, really like a textbook.

The ball was shot, turned into a perfect arc in the air, and then hollowed into the basket.

The perfect backstop jumper is simply picturesque!

"Nathan Hall!" The commentary at the scene said the scorer's name in a low voice.

Celtic head coach Arnold subconsciously looked at the player data, when he suddenly found that he seemed to have forgotten a person.

That horrible "Huang Mamba" Hall!

The Mamba is a highly venomous snake, and the black shooting guard who ruled the NBA back then had the nickname "Black Mamba". The nickname of Hall "Huang Mamba" is also because his skin color is slightly lighter than that of the legendary "Black Mamba". In addition, he has many similarities with the "Black Mamba", the same Height, the same weight, solid basic skills, stable shooting, excellent physical fitness, all abilities are balanced, almost no weaknesses, and that picturesque mid-range emergency stop jumper.

For the past three decades, mid-range emergency stop jumpers have been the most commonly used scoring methods for guards and small forwards.

When a defender or small forward breaks through the ball, the defender cannot be too tight, which creates room for an emergency stop jumper. If you add a little back, the defender becomes a decoration, anyway. It also doesn't interfere with the shooting, it depends on whether the player can shoot the ball.

In the NBA today, three-point tactics have become mainstream, and there are fewer players using mid-range emergency stop jumpers. Many players, even with this technique, are more willing to stay outside the three-point line to find a shot.

In today's game, Hall once again used his best mid-range emergency stop jumper, which suddenly gave many old fans a feeling of being like a world away, as if they had returned to a few years ago.

Celtic coach Arnold was thankful. He had realized that the Clippers had activated a horrible presence.

"Wood, Gray, with the addition of the current Hall, super center and super guard, the Clippers lineup should not be underestimated! Fortunately, the Clippers are a team in the West, unless the playoffs reach the finals We will not meet each other. Let those Western teams have a headache! "

At the other end of the bench, Li Dai is also looking at Hall's statistics.

"Hall has scored more than 15 points in recent games. Although his shots are not many, his shooting percentage has been very stable." Assistant coach Kassel said from the side.

"His offensive methods are inherently varied, especially the emergency stop jumper he is best at. The stability is very high. I think we can try to give him more ball rights. Although he is shooting well, I don't want to Let him be a pure pitcher. "Li Dai said.

"Do you want Wood to reduce some shots?" Kassel asked.

Li Dai pondered for a few seconds, then nodded: "Although Wood's assist data is not high, but his assist ability is also great, I remember he had the best 17 assists in a single game? As a point guard, He has the ability to connect the entire team. "

Li Dai's remarks set a tone for Wood to score less and pass more, and Hall will increase the chance of shooting.

...

On the court, Hall got the ball, and then started a breakthrough after a fake. The opponent greeted him immediately, but he didn't expect a sudden stop of Hall to change direction and rushed into the three-point line.

The defensive player was shaken away by Hall and suddenly felt very faceless. He rushed up with the fastest speed and wanted to stop Hall.

Hall was a sudden brake, and then took off directly, but the defender was too fast because of the sprint. When he stopped, he was already one and a half meters away in front of Hall. At this time, he even took off. Can't stop Hall's shot.

This is equivalent to an unmarked mid-range shot. Hall's soft touch made the ball steady and scored two points.

From fake movements, to singles breakthrough, to change direction and rush, followed by an emergency stop jumper, Hall ’s set of technical moves are extremely smooth, if you slow down to watch frame by frame, you can take basketball players as Textbook of a sudden stop jumper.

Hall did not celebrate after scoring, but subconsciously looked at his knee.

The knee feels good, no problem at all.

Hall's heart settled a lot.

Fake movements, continuous gear shifts, emergency stops and emergency starts, and jumps after emergency stops are all technical actions called "knee terminators". The meniscus on both knees of Hall is GG. Given by technical action.

After retiring and returning to the arena, Hall was originally converging. He dared not do those technical moves that hurt his knee, and he played relatively conservatively. But here is the NBA after all. The opponents are better than one, and one is desperate. If you want to play health basketball, you must attack without defense, defense without defense, and both ends of the attack and defense are completely exploded.

Top players such as Hall naturally have a face. If the field is completely exploded, the face will not be able to hang on. So after playing down the game one by one, the scope of Hall ’s technical moves is also increasing. Big, gradually began to try those "knee terminator" technical moves again.

A Hall that dared to use difficult technical actions also meant that the frightening "Huang Mamba" was resurrected!

...

In the next game, the Clippers away from home against the Lakers.

The home stadium is actually held at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, which is also the home of the Lakers.

The Lakers are one of the deepest teams in the NBA. They are well-deserved players in the Los Angeles sports world. The Lakers have more fans than the Clippers, so whenever the Clippers meet the Lakers, even the Clippers At home, the Lakers will have more fans than the Clippers.

This is actually quite unfair to the Clippers. The two teams have to fight four times a year, each with two homes, but the Lakers ’home is the Lakers’ home, and the Clippers ’home is also the Lakers’ home. The ship is equivalent to two home games for no reason.

In recent seasons, the Lakers have entered a period of reconstruction, the results have deteriorated a lot, and the attention of fans has declined. The Clippers have recruited a large number of veteran players this season, which has attracted the attention of many fans. The Clippers also have a very good record this season. They are currently ranked second in the Pacific Division, and the Western Conference has been ranked in the top eight for a chance to enter the playoffs. Therefore, the situation of the Clippers at home this year is much better. The Clippers and the Lakers fans are probably in a situation of 50-50.

The Clippers' pre-game deployment increased Hall's shooting power, and Wood, as the point guard, also strictly implemented the coaching staff's arrangements. In fact, for a point guard, revitalizing the team's offense is more important than scoring. If his teammates can give more power, Wood does not want to be like a bunker, rushing to the basket with the ball to connect with those strong inside short soldiers.

Hall also did not disappoint the coach and his teammates. The continuous shifting of the speed change was a breakthrough. With the mid-range emergency stop jumper, the Lakers' defense line failed.

"Swoosh!"

Another emergency stop jumper, as the basketball hollowed into the frame, the fans on the scene also sounded a loud cheer.

Not only the Clippers fans, but also the Lakers fans began to cheer, because they saw the long-lost banned jumper, that kind of picturesque emergency stop jumper.

The first man in the league, "Black Mamba", used this picturesque emergency stop jumper to lead the Lakers into the playoffs time and time again, winning all championships. And since he retired, the Lakers fans even thought they would never see such a picturesque emergency stop jumper.

But now, "Huang Mamba" is resurrected, which is also a picturesque emergency stop jumper, which triggered the fans 'memories and ignited the fans' feelings.

The city of Los Angeles ~ www.readwn.com ~ has a long history of sports. There are too many people who grew up with the Lakers, and there are too many senior fans here, and for these senior fans Feelings are really a kind of thing that can easily cause emotions.

In the small ball era, the rapid offensive and defensive conversion is indeed very ornamental, the unreasonable three-pointer is enough to make people wonder, but in Los Angeles, in the hearts of this generation of fans, this is not as picturesque as anxious Stop the jumper. Because this represents the youth of a generation, it is the memory of a generation!

No matter how bad the memories are, they are always wonderful.

Those good memories are like the first love, they are always so beautiful in my mind, it is hard to let go like honey. In fact, when you take out the photos of that year, you may find that the girl you liked was actually quite ugly.

...

In this game, Hall felt great, scoring 35 points, and the Clippers won the Lakers.

The next day the major media NBA sections were also occupied by such a title:

"" Huang Mamba "resurrected! 》
