The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 125 The Correct Way to Open the Divine Beast
After the first quarter, the score is:
33:28
Tu Man scored 13 points in a single quarter, but everyone else scored less than 5 points, and his shooting percentage was nearly 5% lower than the opponent's. It seemed so natural to be behind by [-] points.

Gentry began to scratch his head. If he wanted to win the game, he had to increase Tuman's shots, but he also wanted to feel good from the outside, which was very contradictory.

There are still eight games left in the regular season. If these guys don't play well, Tu Man will play one against five in the playoffs, and it will definitely be a round...

It's all to blame!
If he didn't provoke Tu Man, how could Tu Man be banned from the game? How could the Suns have lost [-] games in a row? Without [-] games in a row, how could the Suns have become a blacksmith shop?

After much deliberation, I still have to use the outside line.

For Tu Man, there is nothing to practice in the regular season, but he has no idea about the intensity of the playoffs. It is better to gain experience in the playoffs sooner rather than later.

The sun must go as far as possible!
With the tactical board in between, Gentry put his arms around Tuman's neck, and cast out his inner worries in as gentle a tone as possible.

"Alvin, are you underestimating me?"

Tu Man looked at Gentry with a grin.

"I'm still a child, I don't understand anything. If you point east, I dare not go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I dare not chase a chicken. Do you need to be so careful?"

Gentry was speechless for a while.

you are still a child

Who has seen such a useless adult's child?
The NBA has been full of stars since ancient times, but which star can drive the so-called "uncrowned king" reporter to social death?
The "Atlanta Charter" couldn't wait to announce on the front page the dismissal of the fat white reporter who was suspected of being pro-***. In the Jewish politically correct America, there is a high probability that this fat man will end up in a refugee camp...

Of course, Tu Man has no objection. This season has already been regarded as a bumper harvest. It’s okay to lose a few weeks of being the best. The key is to see next season and get more honors. If the record is not guaranteed, everything is empty talk. Teammates must work hard!
Moreover, one must be content.

Don't you see that Gentry has cultivated him so much that he has made all the rookies in the league cry?
Therefore, Tuman only took two shots in the second quarter.

But he did his best on the defensive end, completely forced the Thunder into a jump shooting team, and also grabbed 8 offensive rebounds!

Unfortunately, the Suns made only 13 of 2 three-pointers.

Harden on the opposite side scored four by himself!
Can't eat hot tofu in a hurry...

At the end of the first half, the score becomes:

61:51
By the third quarter, the shooters still felt cold, making 9 of 0 shots.

On the opposite side, Adu stood up, and the young Reaper showed his black scythe, and began to harvest the competition...

In fact, compared with the previous three years, this season is very unfriendly to Kevin Durant, and he played very hard.

Since the explosive Russell Westbrook seems to be the one who supports the team's future ceiling no matter in terms of physical talent, leadership temperament or growth rate, the team intends to let the "veteran" Adu accommodate Westbrook. style of play.

Therefore, after two seasons of tempering, Adu, who finally made his possession and off the ball balanced and reasonable, had to return to the off-ball style of his rookie season.

In the first half of the season, he also added air cuts to attack the basket, but with the integration of Perkins, Ibaka's finishing ability in the fourth position was fully released, and the offensive space inside became crowded.

It is difficult for Adu to cut into the inside to score as before, and even for the sake of the team's space, he has to try to shoot more three-pointers instead of the mid-range shots that he is already familiar with, because these positions are overlapped by multiple people...

He must shoot from the outside as much as possible to make room for the team to attack the inside and mid-range, so that Westbrook can hit the basket and create opportunities for Ibaka and Perkins.

Therefore, Adu's shot completion rate this season is as high as 81.6%, and the assist rate is as high as 62.4%. You must know that JJ Redick, who is called an off-ball model this season, only ends up with a shot rate of 84.6%, and the assist rate is 69.5%. %.

But he is just a role player with an average of 7.6 shots per game, but Adu is the core of the team with an average of 19.7 shots per game.

Shooting off the ball, controlling the space, and making the ball for others, this style of play is equivalent to sacrificing the ball-handling ability that Adu has just developed, and there is no way to exert his full ability as a historical scorer.

However, this is extremely important to the growth of Westbrook and Harden, and fortunately.

Adu is a generous and gentle big brother. If he is replaced by any scoring champion in history, such as Iverson, Kobe, Anthony and others, he still wants me to adapt to the rookie style of play?
Go play with mud!
Adu's character has made the three minors and the team a success. This is the reason why they successfully reached the finals after two years of running-in.

However, the talents of the three young masters are all too good!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, let alone the Thunder have three MVPs?

This is something for later. The Thunder at this time is quite harmonious. In the season Harden left, if the Thunder were generous with another 2000 million...

Of course that's impossible!
After the third quarter, Adu helped the Thunder lead by 20 points. The score is:
88:68
Gentry changed his mind again.

With eight games left, the Suns still have two tough fights with the league's No. [-] Spurs and one with the league's No. [-] Bulls. There's no chance of winning.

If they lose this game again, maybe the Suns will have nothing to do in the playoffs, and it will become meaningless to feed this group of shooters, so it's a hot shot!
At this time, Perkins also ran away.

Brooks had to rotate Nazr Mohamed and Nick Collison at center, so Gentry replaced Robin and moved Tuman to the four, giving him as much coverage as possible while maximizing his defensive coverage. He fed the ball and let Tuman finish the offense.

Suddenly the situation changed suddenly, a dedicated Mutombo disappeared on the defensive end, and a flying O'Neal turned out!
Seeing Tu Man's dunks in the paint area, one hit two, one hit three, led by Nash, a group of outsiders interspersed and moved, constantly cutting inside and running back, disturbing the Thunder's defense line...

Brooks was stupefied. He had adjusted the dystocia on the spot, and met Tu Man, a big monster who couldn't be steamed, cooked, pounded, or fried. He could only scratch his head constantly, almost bald!

Put on Perkins, it doesn't work.

Let Perkins, Muhammad, and Collison besiege, it is still not easy.

Then, cut him?
Tuman's response was——

A 2+1, plus 7 of 7 free throws!
finished calf...

The Suns scored 47 points in one fell swoop, not only filling in the 20-point hole, but also achieving a lead with 2 minutes left in the game, and thus sealed the victory.

At the end of the game, the score is:
110:115
Tuman scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks in the fourth quarter!
It was only then that people remembered that he was not only the most dazzling rookie this year, but also the monster who almost turned the All-Star Game into a Rookie Challenge!
