Chapter 603: Let Cole dismiss the get out of class
"Hey! This is the first team I've seen quarrel in the finals, and it's my own home court. I feel that the first playoffs in history is already waving to the Pacers 16:0." O'Neal shook his head. Although there is still one and a half quarters and a half, the Warriors are only 5 points behind, but he is no longer optimistic that the Warriors can still play back this game.
Kerr tried hard to solve the problem, Green and Durant. One was the team's defensive core, and the other became the team's most core player on the offensive end when Curry just missed the three-pointer just now. They had problems. How could they defeat this Pacers who united and wanted to sweep them?
Cole, who can coach such a full-level team, is naturally a chicken soup master. Last year, an incident like Green's formula occurred. In the end, Durant did not choose to leave the Warriors but stayed here. This year, he still played at the MVP level and made great progress on the defensive end.
But at this moment, he had no choice but to come and go first and let the players focus on the current game, and all the locker room problems will be left behind.
Then there is another provocation method. If you lose the game, you can only go home to fish. You don’t want to go back in 0:4 and become a background board for a new history.
In order to make his players more awake, Cole didn't say a single tactic for two minutes, it was all chicken soup.
Lin Sen himself never expected that he would pass the ball to Grant and scored two consecutive goals, but now he actually had such an effect. If he had known that such an effect would have been, he would not have to feed Grant until he vomited? It seems that the Warriors' locker room was not as harmonious as he saw at the beginning.
The Warriors who returned to the court did not make the imagined turnaround. After Durant asked, he did not seem to have the intention to continue attacking with the ball. It seemed that he was not just angry because he did not get an offensive opportunity.
Durant transformed into a space player and became a fixed-point three-pointer. At this time, the pressure all came to Curry. Now he is a player who tries to attack with the ball, but he is faced with the Pacers' highest defensive team, Oladipo's close-fitting defense and Lin Sen who may appear on the breakthrough route at any time. Even when he takes a three-pointer, he may be interfered with Lin Sen.
The rhythm has begun to move in an uncontrollable direction. The Warriors' state has not come back. Instead, someone on the Pacers' side has started firing again. Garlinari and Linson, a complementary inside combination, always went crazy together. At the beginning of the previous games, in addition to Linson helping them stabilize the situation, Garlinari also performed well at the beginning. The Pacers' slow warm-up habit was spoiled by the two of them.
Lin Sen's condition undoubtedly made Garlinari feel comfortable when he hit the ball. The first three-pointer shot widened the gap to double digits. Warriors fans were helpless about the scene that happened in front of him. They were obviously their home court, and they were doing some repairs and maintenance. How could they refuse to shoot at their own shooting so stable? When they met the opponent's attack, they became soft-footed shrimps, especially the big man on the opposite side, one by one, one by one.
Lin Sen's playing time in the third quarter was full and he had no intention of going down to rest. Lin Sen's two breaks in the second quarter were for this time point, and with the function of Chamberlain's perpetual motion machine, Lin Sen was ready for his full play in the third quarter at the beginning of this quarter.
Cole was expecting Lin Sen's condition to get a little worse. To be honest, in the third quarter, Curry and Durant were not in good shape. Why could Lin Sen keep in such a good state for a whole quarter? In this half quarter, Lin Sen was already the one who took the lead in 15 points and 3 assists.
Lin Sen's performance will not be as buggy as before! Cole thought so in his mind, and once again changed his strategy slightly because of Gallinari's three-pointer. But after a little relaxation, Lin Sen hit a throw again at the middle distance.
In this scene, Cole directly wanted to smash the tactical board in his hand. As a shooter player who scored a key kill in 1996 and had extremely strong psychological qualities, he also won the championship in 2015 in the coach position and was completed a 3:1 super comeback in 2016. He was the runner-up again in 2017. Whether it is a player or a coach, Cole has experienced a lot of ups and downs.
These times have allowed him to remain calm in most cases, but he couldn't calm down when he saw Lin Sen's performance in the history of the finals with the highest scoring efficiency. You should know that he has been a teammate with Jordan, the player with the highest average score in the finals. His scoring efficiency in the finals is also top-notch, but he has never seen such a performance in Jordan.
"I haven't seen Steve like this on the sidelines for a long time. He has been on the sidelines for most of the time. He has the best lineup in the league, and he can stay calm in many cases. However, not including the current situation, I can see his panic. He once again lost to his old opponent with the strongest lineup in the league that was predicted to win the championship. He won three consecutive games. Maybe it can be accepted by others. He gave it to the Warriors? That might be the get out of class that was dismissed."
"It's true. For a lineup like the Warriors, if you don't win the championship, you will fail, and the second place is failure, and the runner-up? Who will remember who the runner-up was that year? My partner Kobe said that the second place is the number one loser. Obviously, the Warriors may not be able to escape the bad luck this year."
This passage is very straightforward, from the former head coach of the Warriors, Mark Jackson, and it seems to be very rational. At that time, Mark Jackson led the Warriors to the Western Conference semi-finals unexpectedly, but this did not allow Mark Jackson to stay with the Warriors, but was replaced by Cole. The facts proved that there was nothing wrong with this substitution. The Warriors won the championship the next year. Now, it is Cole's turn.
