Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 317 Remember the elevator door?
After Korver heard Lian Feng's words, he was stunned.

"This game... I will be the main attacker?"

"To be precise, it's a three-point shot."

Korver brushes his brown hair lightly to hide his surprise.

This season, his three-point shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 46%, the champion of the league, but on the one hand, his playing time is only about 20 minutes, and on the other hand, his positioning is to help others open up space, so each shot is very limited, averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game.

When Lian Feng suddenly said that he was going to be the main attacker in this game, one can imagine how surprised he was.

"But……"

Lian Feng interrupted Korver and asked, "Remember the elevator doors?"

"Elevator door?" Korver frowned slightly.

……

The Hornets arrived at the venue 3 hours ahead of schedule to warm up.

When warming up, Lian Feng called Gasol and Ibaka while Adelman was not there.

"Listen, remember that elevator door tactic we used to practice?"

Gasol Jr. and Ibaka looked at each other, slightly taken aback.

In fact, this tactic was first used in Jordan's playing years. At that time, because it was the inside world, this tactic was not widely used.

Later, because of the emergence of Curry, the shooter was redefined, so with the joint efforts of the Warriors coaching staff, this tactic was revitalized.

There are two main points in this tactic, one is the quality of the center forward's screen, and the other is the player's shooting percentage must be high.

Because it can be used as a means to achieve miraculous effects at some critical moments, especially if the team has a big heart like a striker, Adelman organized other people to practice this tactic very early.

This tactic is a tactic that the Hornets can use but must know.

Launching this tactic requires two centers or power forwards with high pick-and-roll quality and a high percentage of shooters.The Hornets at this time just met this condition.Whether it's passing or pick-and-roll, Gasol Jr. has begun to show the league's top attributes.

When Lian Feng mentioned this tactic, both of them were a little surprised.

Because the current team is not suitable for using this tactic.

How does this tactic work in practice?Simply put, the two inside players stand at the free throw line after settling down, and the center responds to the guard's pass at the three-point line.Then the guard ran down the line, covered one of the team's shooters, and let the shooter run from the baseline to the free throw line.

The problem here is...

There is no such thing as a "guard".

unless……

Coincidentally, Gasol Jr. and Ibaka both thought of something and looked at Lian Feng strangely.

Unless Lian Feng is the "guard".

Then the shooter is naturally Korver!
But in this way, wouldn't the main attacker become Korver?

Lian Feng did not explain too much, and said: "When the time comes, I will direct you to move. What you have to do is to prepare for the elevator door tactics."

Although a little puzzled, Gasol Jr. and Ibaka didn't ask much.

This is Lian Feng's team, and he does what he says.

Lian Feng here must also thank a wave of Adelman.If the bishop of the Hornets is a coach who emphasizes execution like Sloan, then making his own claims will definitely cause conflicts.

It was because Deron chose tactics according to his own judgment that he finally broke with Sloan completely.

Adelman is just the opposite. He encourages the players on the court to decide how to deal with some important scenes and what tactics to implement.Of course, the prerequisite is that the player can gain his trust.

In Adelman's view, although off-court coaches can see the situation more clearly, the executors are players after all, and the optimal solution that the coach thinks may not necessarily be the optimal solution for the players.

For example, in the last attack, the optimal solution may be that Lian Feng attracts double-teams and then passes to another open player, but if this optimal solution is really arranged, then Lian Feng will not have so many classic lore shots.

Therefore, Lian Feng had the confidence to decide to implement the elevator door tactics.

Adelman won't interfere.What he values ​​more is the result, as long as he can win, the result will convince him.

……

Curry had already arrived at his seat, and when Lian Feng was warming up, Curry was chirping behind him.

"Lian Feng!"

"Lian Feng!"

"Lian Feng!"

Lian Feng had no choice but to turn around, seeing Curry's face full of laughter.This guy not only looks young, but also has a personality like a teenager, noisy, happy, full of curiosity and excitement about new things.

In fact, many years later, Curry has not changed at all.Lian Feng remembered that in another time and space, Curry, who had already won the championship, participated in the Huaguo Tour event, but he still spoke like a teenager, without thinking, although he was less likely to say the wrong thing on the scene-but when he was thinking of words, he rolled his eyes, and he still had the expression of a teenager.

Even for a fan who hates the Warriors, it's hard to hate Curry. This guy's gentleness, fun, and youthfulness... make him respect and welcome no matter where he is.

Lian Feng gave Curry a look, then shook three fingers at him.

Curry immediately understood what Lian Feng meant.

Pay attention to my three-pointer?
Curry also looked forward to it.Using three-pointers to defeat opponents and using three-pointers as the main means of offense are two different concepts.

However, the man acted in such a way that one couldn't help but want to believe it.

What is he going to do?Thinking of this, Curry's expression became serious.

Soon, the entrance ceremony of the Hornets' home court began.

The pitch was plunged into darkness.

This silence passed for a long time.

Suddenly, the lights on the screen come on, and highlights from Company and the Hornets start playing.

In the dark, Curry began to watch the highlights seriously.When Lian Feng hit the game-winning three-pointer on the big screen, the audience cheered, and Curry stretched his back in the dark, his eyes fixed on the screen.

After the highlights on the screen were played, the players of the Nuggets were first introduced, and then the players of the Hornets appeared one after another in the introduction with great enthusiasm and voice by the live DJ.

Lian Feng is of course the finale debut.

All the players lined up at the door of the player tunnel, waiting for their king to come on stage.

The sound came out: "Next, let us welcome the only king from the Hornets! The light of Asian basketball! The savior of New Orleans! The son of the truth! The king of lore! Lian! Lian! Lian! Lian! Feng——!"

Lian Feng ran out of the channel and high-fived every teammate.

Curry in the dark saw Lian Feng bathed in glory, with unspeakable envy in his eyes.
