New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 305 Pacers' Psychological Warfare

Philip's breakthrough is actually not fast since the serious injury, and the pressure span of his first step due to the knee is not large, so it should not be difficult to defend.

But Robert couldn't keep up with Philip, because the rest of the Pacers lifted him up and made a wall for him the moment Philip held the ball.

Although it was only a momentary cover, Robert delayed the timing of chasing and defending.In a basketball game, an offense can be completed in the blink of an eye, and Philip is very experienced in cooperating with his teammates, all of which are completed in an instant.

Even in the rehearsal before the game, these two goals were exactly as Duncan expected.No matter how harmonious the relationship between a head coach and players is, it is impossible for everyone to be convinced if they cannot lead the team to achieve results.Obviously, Duncan's god is in the control of the game.

This is an undisclosed secret in the Pacers team, because if this kind of anticipation confrontation is also tested by other teams, their advantage is likely to disappear.

And that's why Duncan has a friendship with the players, so everyone keeps the secret for the sake of friendship.

For at least so many years, Duncan has always been respected in the Pacers, and no player has leaked this matter.The charisma of a good coach can affect a player's impression of him for life, even for those players who are traded.

And under Duncan's command, you can quickly increase your worth, which is like gold-plated in the Pacers. Wait until the market is good and sell it at the best price.Although there is no guarantee that the receiving team will be able to find the player's manual.But at least, Duncan, the seller, will not pay a premium.

This also makes the Pacers' trade a gold standard in the league's annual offseason.Because they are so reliable that the league has a rule that does not become a rule, that is, transactions involving the Pacers do not need to be reviewed.

As odd as it may seem, it's the long-term credibility that Duncan's influence in the NBA has shown in this place.If he does something that could hurt the league, the cost of losing his brand is too great.

After the restart, Wally's foul this time was also revoked.But reconsideration is definitely not a smart choice.Many head coaches may not use it for the entire game, because it is a question of the refereeing system, and the direct result is that the referee of this game will become harsh on your team.

In Duncan's prediction, the reason why Wally was chosen as an insider is not because this player is the easiest to make fouls.Instead, he comprehensively considered his strength, his importance in the team's overall tactics, and his relationship with the head coach.

Of course, Duncan until Wacker is a very professional head coach, it is impossible to make a choice for his son that may affect the situation of the game, but his brilliance is to give Wacker a situation that is impossible to refuse.

Wall-E's state of mind is that scene.With one steal and one foul at the beginning, the inner burden for this rookie will instantly increase.

If he is hit with a goal and then inexplicably gets a second foul, his mentality will definitely be hit hard.

And Duncan also sent a message to Wack that he would keep fouling Wack until the Lakers had no one available inside...

In this case, the idea of ​​​​stopping this situation immediately must have arisen in Wacker's mind.Obviously, the game has just begun, and reconsideration is the best choice.

However, Duncan is very clear that this is also the worst choice.No matter how strong Zhang Yi and others are, if they can't control their bodies well, this is also a common mistake for rookies. Once the referee's tolerance is lowered, the game will become a free throw show.

Of course, the Pacers won't win by drawing fouls, because even if there is no foul, Philip can break through and score smoothly. All of this is Duncan's layout outside of tactics.

In addition to this, of course there is Plan B, which is also another rookie of the Lakers, Robert.The state that this player has always shown is that he is easily emotional, and Duncan has already set a trap for him.

Zhang Yi said to Wacker in a cold voice, "The opponent seems to have a plan to do this." Hearing this, Wacker also nodded.Although I don't know what Duncan is thinking, it is obvious that all this is by no means accidental.

The game restarted and the Lakers resumed their offense.This time, considering that Wall-E's mentality has been affected to a certain extent, Oscar's first reaction is to find Zhang Yi, the most stable point, to control the rhythm.

But I didn't expect Zhang Yi to be caught up by the opponent as soon as halftime passed when he re-attacked.Although this opponent's overall strength is average, but in terms of pure defensive skills, he is still good.

After Oscar received this message, his experience told him that if Zhang Yi was made strong, the opponent would probably double-team Zhang Yi just like double-teaming WALL-E.

"I can't fail again." Oscar just thought this way, and the basketball stopped for a second in his hand.Everyone in the Pacers seems to have received this message.

The players defending Zhang Yi immediately circled forward to defend. This move also made Oscar make up his mind. He and Robert made a cross screen to let the team's second scorer solve the round.

Duncan put his hands in his pockets with a calm expression on his face, as if he was just a spectator, and he was the kind of fake fan who didn't care about the result of the game.

But if you look closely at his eyes, Duncan is not chasing the ball, but can always see a step earlier, including this attack...

Zhang Yi also noticed the change in the Pacers' defensive formation, but he didn't realize how it would affect Robert's offense.

Phillips was brought out by Oscar, but the Pacers' defense wasn't messed up at all.In view of the characteristics of the player Robert, he does not let go of the shot, and he sticks very tightly.

Robert didn't expect to move very fast, and Oscar's pick-and-roll quality is indeed very high.But he didn't have a chance to make a move at all.

Considering that Wali was intercepted by an inexplicable double-team in the last round, Robert just wanted to end the battle quickly.Zhang Yi couldn't pass the pass, so now he can only break through.

Robert's physical condition makes his first step very fast.Not to mention a second-rate defensive player, even if he is a top player based on his body alone, Robert is very confident.

But he just passed the defensive player in front of him with one step, but the other side immediately rushed over to help defend, and as if he had guessed Robert's action, he poked the ball away with a big wave of his hand.

"What the hell! This is impossible!" "Can these people predict the future?!"
