The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 126 The Turkish Magician

This is a typical superstar victory.

It cannot be said that the Thunder's three young players did not play well. Adu scored 25 points, Harden scored 26 points, and Westbrook scored 18 points and 10 assists.

It's just that Tu Man is even better. He is so unstoppable, and he chose to explode in the fourth quarter when Perkins was exhausted.

At the press conference, Brooks praised the Thunder's three juniors, Ibaka and Perkins one by one, bravely took responsibility for the loss, and said that he underestimated the strength of the Suns, especially Tu Man, which led to the team's first victory. Win and lose.

He exaggerates Tuman to the fullest, as if the Big Five, the Green Army, the Big Three, the Heat, the defending Lakers, and the Spurs who have become demons have to run away when they see him...

When he said this, San Shao's mood immediately improved a lot.

A good head teacher never says:

You guys are the worst class I've ever led!
In the same way, if you change the way of inspiration, it will become:

You are the class with the most potential I have ever led...

How nice!

It is said that the Thunder will draft, but are they just drafting?
They are still MVP making machines!

The Suns won three consecutive victories, and the Hornets just lost, and their ranking rose to seventh in the Western Conference.

After winning the game, Gentry no longer worried about the shooter's touch.

Because, a bigger problem was exposed!
The Suns' perimeter defense is too bad——

It's so bad that Thunder Thunder's third young master wants to break through, it's easier than the Phoenix [-]st Avenue in the early morning. Although Tu Man blocked the paint area, the distant water can't save the nearby fire!

There are only two ways to win in the NBA:
Score more than the opponent, or let the opponent score less than yourself.

When the offense is enough to solve the problem, the defense will never be a problem, but when the offense is not good, all the bad points on the defensive end will be shaken out at once!
Nash didn't fight, Richardson had poor consciousness, Hill and Turkoglu were slow...

For the first time this season, Gentry is thinking about trading. If he wants to go further next season, he must add one or two outside gates during the offseason!
Andre Iguodala?
But even if the first brother in Philadelphia is here, how can it be said that Adu abused me day after day!
Before the trade deadline, the trading plan proposed by the Magic came to mind.

As soon as Nash came back and began to take full control of the ball, Turkoglu's role seemed to have become less important. Should he satisfy the magic of unrequited love?
Turkoglu, who was taking a shower, shivered coldly. He looked around and found nothing unusual, thinking:

"No wonder this game feels so rubbish, do you have a cold?"

After the game, the players dispersed.

But the lights in Gentry's office stayed on all night, and he and Sumait even dragged Blanks back from under the heat to join in the heated argument.

The sun rises over the Phoenix horizon.

Three disheveled, unkempt men with dark circles under their eyes walked out of the US Airways Center arena.

They have reached an agreement, the most important issue now is no longer shooting three-pointers, no longer cultivating savages, but——

Hurry up, make Turkoglu bigger, let the magic burn your body, and scratch your heart with a hundred claws!
On April 4st, April Fool's Day, the Clippers came to give gifts.

Earlier, the NBA officially announced the best rookie in the East and West in March. This has nothing to do with Tu Man who missed [-] games. The double champion dominates the list:
John Wall averaged 18.1 points, 7.3 assists and 1.67 steals per game.

Blake Griffin is averaging 20.5 points, 10.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists.

Griffin was a little guilty, with such an honor on his head, coming to Phoenix to see Tu Man, he felt a bit like asking for a fight...

Tu Man still had a smile on his face, but his heart was already filled with embarrassment.

At the beginning, he rewarded Griffin with two big caps, and directly forced this beast to the outside to play point guard. As for the newly acquired decent point guard Mo Williams?
This is Griffin's team, does he dare to say a word?

After playing for a few minutes, Gentry called Nash to the sidelines and whispered:

"Steve, let Xidu hold the ball more from now on, let him organize the offense, try playing off the ball, let's play a trick!"

Nash froze for a moment, but he never questioned the coach's decision. He quickly suppressed his doubts, ran to Turkoglu, and conveyed the coach's will.

Ever since, the real point guards on both sides watched from the sidelines, and the actual organizers of the team became two strong men with a height of 2 meters.

After two more rounds, Gentry replaced Robin with Hill, moved Tuman to the four, and allowed Turkoglu to return to his most comfortable position at the three.

In this way, with Tuman restraining Griffin, the Turks were immediately liberated, and Turkoglu returned to the silky and calm state during the 23-game winning streak.

If Griffin does not assist in the defense, Turkoglu will be three steps slower and hit a mid-range shot against Jamalio Moon. If he assists in the defense, the missed Tu Man immediately responds with a dunk!
Also as a point forward, Turkogruber is much happier than Griffin. Although the group of shooters behind them are equally skilled, Tuman and Jordan are not players of the same dimension at all, especially on the offensive end...

At halftime, the score is:

44:62
Griffin was too difficult. Except for the round-faced Gordon, he couldn't find a passer at all, and Gordon himself had a very low shooting percentage, 10 of 4 shots and 5 of 1 three-pointers.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with it.

That's what a 28-47 team should have.

If you encounter a team that is not strong inside, Griffin can also control the ball by himself, cut inside, dunk by himself, and run back by himself...

But when he met Tu Man, he could only be bullied, and the audience won a straight flush:

8 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 fouls, 4 turnovers.

Fortunately, this is the home court of the Suns, otherwise, if he is at the Staples Center, facing the folks in Los Angeles, how can he hold up the Rookie of the Month trophy?

Tuman scored 32 points, 16 rebounds and 6 blocks.

However, today he is not the most handsome boy.

Turkoglu exploded!
He played 40 minutes, scoring 13 points, 17 assists, 3 rebounds, 5 steals, 1 block, and only one turnover in the game...

In contrast, Nash had only 12 points and 4 assists.

17 assists created a new career high for the "Turkish Magician", and 5 steals is also a new record. It really shines when you give it some sunshine!

Gentry rubbed his hands together, look at this baby, it's still very useful.

I'm a little bit reluctant...

After the game, Gentry took Turkoglu to the press conference, and he was full of praise for his organizational talent, worthy of the title of "Turkish Magician"!

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!
Turkoglu, who was sitting on the sidelines, was heartbroken. He was not an ignorant rookie, but a veteran who had been in the league for five years and had been in the league for ten years.

Gentry's tone of voice, why is it so similar to the price gouging before the transaction?
