Legendary basketball manager

Time went back to 10 seconds ago, and the Rockets launched a counterattack from the backcourt.

Lawson advanced with the ball at high speed and passed the half court.

But this time, the Warriors' players all retreated in place and did not give the Rockets a chance to switch offenses.

Lawson had no choice but to slow down and prepare to organize a positional battle.

At this time, Curry, who was facing him, posted up, trying to interfere with Lawson's dribble.

And Lawson inadvertently made a small but realistic crossover.

Curry was shaken and his body shifted to the left.

In order to prevent Lawson from taking the opportunity to speed up his breakthrough, Mengshen stepped on the ground with his left foot, wanting to quickly return to the defensive position.

Who knows...an accident happened!

His left foot kicked hard, and after touching the ground, his ankle twisted...

The next moment, Curry fell to the ground in pain, clutching his ankle.

Lawson was also taken aback by this sudden accident.

Just as he was hesitating whether to continue the offense, the veteran Warriors David Lee felt rushed from the inside, fouled intentionally, and suspended the game.

The team doctor quickly came to the court to check Curry's injury.

After a simple treatment, Mengshen was supported by two team doctors and left from the player tunnel.

This situation made Larry Riley in the stands frown.

This is the second time Curry has sprained his ankle this season.

And the reason for this injury is really outrageous...

Curry actually sprained his ankle again because of his normal lateral movement while defending!

"Don't be sad, this is an accidental injury, don't take it too seriously."

Shen Fei spoke comforting words.

"What you just said does make sense."

"If you can't keep healthy, no matter how talented a player is, it's just a blank check, and there is no way to cash it."

Larry Riley said with a wry smile.

"Perhaps, we can consider reducing Curry's playing time."

"He hardly rested in this game. Once his body is tired, his movements are easy to deform."

"Curry's ankle is inherently fragile, and it is more prone to accidents during the physical bottleneck period."

Shen Fei analyzed.

Larry Riley nodded noncommittally.

But what he thought was:

[A young man in his early twenties, the second quarter is the physical bottleneck period?What a mess! ]

[I cultivated him as the cornerstone of the team, reducing time?Is it a substitute?Then how can it be the cornerstone! ]

Of course, Larry Riley did not share his true thoughts with Shen Fei.

After all, he is not 100% against trading Curry now, there is no need to say something that reduces the value of player transactions!

............

The game continues.

After Curry left the court, the Warriors' offense became more monotonous, basically revolving around Ellis and David Lee inside.

David Lee is a marginal All-Star with a certain scoring ability.

But today, he faced pj-Tucker's defense.

David - Lee tried two singles, the results are in vain.

Our brother Li is also a person who knows the current affairs. He immediately changed his style of play and began to look for opportunities by running without the ball.

In this way, the Warriors' possession of the ball is basically concentrated in the hands of Ellis.

Fortunately, the "Golden State Cyclone" is in a hot state today.

Whether facing Lawson or McGrady's defense, his breakthroughs are extremely sharp, frequently rushing to the basket to score points.

Relying on Ellis' outstanding performance, the game did not lose suspense prematurely.

And when he swayed on the court, Tony Allen and Sean Battier looked depressedly at the coach—Mark Jackson—on the Rockets bench.

After yesterday's training, Mark Jackson suddenly announced that the two of them would be rested this time.

This made Teacher Tony and Mr. President dumbfounded.

They are free from illness and disaster, and have plenty of energy (they don't play too much time in each game), so why do they need to take turns?

In this regard, Mark Jackson's explanation is-the need to practice the lineup.

When the two heard such an answer, they could only accept the arrangement, and both were dnp today.

At this moment, they were wearing suits and acting as VIP audiences on the sidelines.

What the two of them didn't know was that it was Shen Fei's intention that Mark Jackson arranged for them to take turns off.

............

Before the training started yesterday, Mark Jackson received a call from Fei Shen.

On the phone, the young Asians started making demands straight to the point.

"The next game against the Warriors will be a different defensive strategy for their two guards."

"Defend against Stephen Curry, flank when necessary, and don't give him an easy shot."

"For Ellis, put him on isolations, no help, no double teams."

"Tony Allen and Battier, the two defensive gates, put them on and let them rest for a while."

Mark Jackson recorded Shen Fei's words one by one.

He really wanted to ask the other party why such a tactic was designed.

But Shen Fei seemed to be very busy, after finishing his request, he hung up the phone.

Mark Jackson tried to decipher it to no avail, but he did.

After all, he now trusts Shen Fei's decision very much.

Mark Jackson even guessed that such a detailed arrangement this time is probably for "catching big fish"!

He was a little excited when he thought that the cards in his hand would continue to upgrade.

[As a coach for the first time, do I have the opportunity to feel the "full grade"? ]

[If I cooperate with Shen Fei, can I reach the pinnacle of my life and become a legendary coach? ]

With good fantasies, Mark Jackson began to formulate tactics according to Shen Fei's arrangement.

............

Look back to the field.

Ellis used 30 points in the half, barely keeping the difference between the two teams at around 15 points.

But in the second half, his own touch slipped.

For several consecutive offensive rounds, Ellis hit the iron one after another without being double-teamed.

In contrast to the Rockets, McGrady, Yao Ming, and even Ty Lawson fired one after another, helping the team hit a shock wave.

This time, the point difference was instantly widened to more than 20 points.

When the third quarter ended, the Rockets had led the Warriors by as many as 28 points!The game also lost its suspense.

In the end, the score of the two teams was fixed at 130:109, and the Rockets got their 16th consecutive victory as they wished!

After the game, Larry Riley personally sent Shen Fei away from the Oracle Arena.

On the way, he tentatively asked: "Ty Lawson should be a tradeable player?"

Shen Fei was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and said: "At least for now, he is."
