Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 64 Tactical Core
There are only two offensive cores of the Sonics, Gary Payton and Wen Baker, and the others are in the position of tactical coordination.

Regardless of the tactics around Wang Hao at the beginning of the game, in fact, it was just an opening tactic.

The opening tactical arrangement, for most teams, will not arrange for the leading star to play.

On the one hand, it can be taken by surprise, on the other hand, it can also save energy for the assistant players to get through the decisive moment.

Regardless of the fact that it is only the third quarter, in fact, the decisive battle is imminent.

It's really going to be the last 6 minutes. With such a point difference and such a state, there is no chance.

What's more, at this time, there is still a chance of trial and error.

Since Wang Hao is going to take on the heavy responsibility of offense, the lineup has to be adjusted, and it will definitely not work according to the starting lineup.

Gary Payton and Ruben Patterson partnered in the backcourt, with Hores and Gerani McCoy in the paint.

I have to say that Paul Westphal is still a bit conservative, and this lineup obviously puts a solid defense first.

As for the offense, basically it can only be undertaken by Wang Hao and Gary Payton, and the cooperation between the two is crucial.

Fortunately, with more than a month of training and private teaching, the two are familiar with each other after all.

Gary Payton patted Wang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Rookie, come on, I'll pass the ball to you."

"Don't worry, Gary, I won't waste your assists."

No matter whether you can score a goal or not, at least you must have confidence first, otherwise, how can your teammates pass the ball to you?

At the beginning of the game, the Clippers had the ball, and Odom simply dribbled the ball by himself.

It can be seen that just for today's game, the Clippers coach gave Odom great authority.

Horace defended very seriously. Although he was old, he was unwilling to let young people bully him like this.

Even, he has figured out how to cut off Odom's breakthrough.

However, at this moment, ten seconds had elapsed since the attack time, and Odom directly shot a three-pointer.

This shot is simply unreasonable, so you can't play tactics?
However, in fact, the basketball was hollow into the net, and Odom actually felt like he had gone crazy.

Are the Sonics not doing well defensively?

No, but the problem is that people can enter.

If the defense is not good, then you can only count on the offense, otherwise, the score will only continue to widen.

In order to conceal the true tactical intention, Gary Payton is still low, attracting all the attention.

At this moment, Wang Hao, who was outside the baseline three-point line, suddenly accelerated and got rid of Nesby directly.

Rao ran to the top of the arc in a circle, and Gary Payton had already passed the ball.

Although Nesby was freed, he still followed Wang Hao closely, only one step away.

Wang Hao didn't delay for a moment after catching the ball, he just opened his hand and shot, a standard three-point shot after catching the ball.

Nesby rushed forward in a hurry. Although he failed to block the shot, he felt that he interfered.

No, Nesby, who had just landed, rushed forward subconsciously, wanting to fight back.

As a result, the basketball went into the net hollow.

"Oh my god, another [-]-pointer and Wang responds, it's a response to Lamar Odom."

"Oh, for a moment just now, I thought I saw Reggie Miller, saw Ray Allen, and another super three-pointer."

……

The on-site commentary cheered loudly, such a game is wonderful.

Especially the identities of Wang Hao and Odom, the two rookies seem to want to control the game, which is the most interesting.

"Nice job!"

A gleam of joy flashed across Paul Westphal's calm face. It seemed that his choice was all right.

Wang Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, the ball was a little bit forced.

It's just that, on the basketball court, where there are so many open spaces, it is normal to shoot against the defense.

He is also very fortunate to increase the three-pointers to more than 90.

Without experiencing the tempering of the NBA, he really can't imagine the difficulty of not having a skill.

If he didn't have a super three-pointer, how would he dare to play like this?The coach will not give him a chance?

At first, his idea was to improve his physical fitness.

This will certainly make him look more talented, and his performance will be more average, and he will not be so biased.

The same problem, he can't have such amazing moments.

Naturally, Wang Hao's performance was not a flash in the pan, I saw that he used the continuous cover of his teammates to hit another mid-range hit.

And when the Clippers adopted a substitution, he immediately changed his style of play, no longer blindly shooting, but breaking through.

You don't want to score, you can make kills, you can foul.

More importantly, with Wang Hao's outstanding performance, the Clippers' defensive focus had to shift to him.

At this time, teammates have a chance.

Ruben Patterson's air cut, Horace's mid-range, and even Gary Payton also made the first three-pointer of the day.

Of course, the state of the Clippers is still hot, and the two sides come and go, directly starting the scoring battle.

40:32 in a single quarter, with a total score of 88:92.

At the end of the fourth quarter, when Wang Hao left the field, the score difference between the two sides was only 4 points.

At this time, the advantage of the Sonics is reflected, and that is defense.

In the few minutes Odom was off the court, Gary Payton caused two consecutive turnovers.

In just two rounds, with the scores of Gary Payton and Wen Baker, the Sonics finally tied the game.

Clippers coach Chris Ford saw something was wrong and quickly replaced Odom and Morris Taylor.

However, the two failed to score easily.

Odom and Morris Taylor's shooting percentage has dropped, and the incredible goals are gone.

Taking advantage of this time, the Sonics successfully overtook the score.

They failed to completely widen the point difference when they were in a good state. In the end, the strength gap between the two sides became obvious.

With Gary Payton on the court, the Sonics played very steadily, but the Clippers led by Odom made many mistakes.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Hao played again and hit two more three-pointers, killing the game.

116:105
In the last minute or so, it was directly reduced to garbage time, and both sides replaced their main players one after another.

"Well done, king!"

Paul Westphal patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, and his simple sentence revealed more people's trust.

Not only the head coach, but other teammates also congratulated Wang Hao.

Congratulations on what?Naturally, his wonderful performance tonight.

Everyone understands that after tonight, Wang Hao will gain a firm foothold in the NBA and be reused more.

It can even be cultivated as the core of the team's tactics.

Wang Hao was very calm, not saying he was unhappy, but in his opinion, it was a matter of time.

It is naturally a good thing to get more performance opportunities.

It's just that this is just the beginning, and he still needs to work harder to become the real tactical core of the team.
