The conversation between Li Dai and Gray came to an end.

Li Dai felt that since Gray knew where his shortcomings were, there was no need to interfere too much, and players who could come to the NBA to play were not fools, and they should know how to re-adjust their shortcomings.

For Gray, the problem of this foul is like a threshold, like the so-called rookie wall in the NBA, as long as he can successfully cross this threshold, it is like a carp leaping gantagonal door, dragon out to sea.

As for whether it can finally successfully cross this threshold, it is worth looking at Gray's own understanding.

There is a saying that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and in the NBA also has a special phenomenon, that is, the better the body, the easier it is to foul.If you look at the NBA's per-game foul list in order, the top ten are definitely some physical talent explosion of the table.Those who do not run fast and do not jump high, but it is not easy to foul.

This is like Li Dai analysis, this group of devil muscles can run and jump, in the defense, always feel that you can beat the enemy.It was only necessary to interfere with it, so that the opponent's attack hit the wall, they had to completely prevent the opponent from death, so there will always be a relatively large defensive action, and the number of fouls will increase.

Although Gray is playing the NBA for several seasons, due to injury reasons, only played more than a hundred games, he can only be a high-end rookie, and it is impossible to get a "star whistle" in the referee, many times that kind of ambiguous foul, or can not blow, the referee will not give him face, directly blow him foul.If one day Gray becomes an All-Star, the referee will be looser when blowing a penalty foul.

In fact, foul problems, for each inside line is a must-have trip, look at the league's excellent insiders, whether it is active or retired, if there are no six offenses every season, are embarrassed to say that they are an inside line.

...

The next game, the Clippers came to Oracle Stadium in Oakland to challenge the defending champion Warriors.

The Warriors are the strongest team in the league right now, and the Clippers belong to the Pacific.

According to the NBA schedule rules, teams in the same region have to play four games a season.Under this system, once a particularly strong team appears in his own division, it is not good news for the other four teams in the region.

For example, in the Pacific, the strength of the warriors is super strong, the other four teams, the Lakers, the Clippers, the king and the sun, are not the opponents of the warriors, as long as the warrior seriously do not let the water, the other four teams are certainly to receive a four-game defeat.At the end of the season, the record was counted, and there were several negative performances compared to other teams.In the competitive West, the difference between the wins and losses in 0.5 games will cause the difference between two or three, if you lose one or two more, it is directly related to whether you can enter the playoffs.

Oracle Stadium, the game has not yet begun, on the bench on the sidelines, Warriors coach Nicholas pouting, looking at the arena is warmed up by Carabi.

"Karaby even rejuvenated the second spring, it really let the Clippers pick up a big cheap!"If we had players like that, this year's championship would be even more stable."Nicholas said to himself.

This season, Carabi suddenly returned to his youth, which also made him a favorite player of many teams, including the first Warriors in the league.Carabi has a height, there are bouncing and moving, his cap ability in the defense is enough to protect the team's penalty area, and in the attack, he has the ability to shoot, and even shoot three-pointers, which is very suitable for the Warriors' play.

Karaby's only drawback is that it is too thin, but this is not a problem for the Warriors, now the NBA's most popular small ball play is the Warriors team to bring up, in the Warriors' tactical system, the traditional position of the opportunity is not much, the traditional meat shield big man is not as good as the space-type inner line.

Nicholas can't help but glance at his own backup center, although the guy is also a physical explosive player, playing is also very energetic, but the brain seems to be a little bad, put on the court is like a time bomb, maybe when will stab themselves.

Nicholas pondered, and some red eyes looked at Li Dai on the guest bench.He remembered Li Dai's previous resume, when Li Dai was the head coach of the US team, he had let many very old athletes find the second spring.

“It’s good to be young!”Nicholas sighed, not knowing whether he was talking about the athletes who were back at the top, or lamenting Li Dai's youth.

...

Clippers and Warriors game, the first two sections of the two sides have played back and again, but in the third quarter, the Warriors seem to suddenly feel, a blink of an eye on the Kung Fu hit a wave of 28 to 8, the score Warriors pulled up to 23 points.

The Warriors played their own characteristics, the third quarter of a wave of flow, which is also the Warriors' traditional way of winning, the first quarter let the start warm up, the second quarter let the replacement warm up, the third quarter blow, the fourth quarter hit the card off work.Statistically speaking, the Warriors' positive side value in the third quarter is +130.Today, this method is also used against the Clippers.

This set of tactical system of the Warriors, so many excellent basketball coaches in the league can not be cracked, Li Dai this half-hanging basketball coach is no way.In the face of this situation, the only thing Li Dai can do is to use the visa box to see if God can help himself.

“Sign up!”Li Dai somewhat depressed looking at the result of the signing, if it is signed, the game can be reversed, now just a signature, there is no use.

Li Dai even asked for the results of the signing are too lazy to look at, he thought, since he can not win, decided to simply vote to take responsibility.It doesn’t matter if you lose 82 games in a season.Moreover, the opponent is a strong warrior, and it is not shameful to lose to the Warriors.

“Change someone!”Li Dai pointed to the few "water dispenser managers" who can't usually play, and a few players who can't enter the rotation at all will be happy, and they have more than a day to perform.

"Coach, I want to play a little longer."A voice suddenly sounded, and Li Dai turned his head and spoke to Gray.

"Grey actually took the initiative to ask to play, is the last conversation has been effective?"His foul control today is not bad, not related to the opponent is the Warriors.The Warriors players still score mainly by shooting, not too much impact basket."Lee nodded, and again at Gray's request, he said, "If Gray wants the ball, give him the ball."

...

After a dead ball, the Clippers replaced it with a "water dispenser."

“They gave up!”Nicholas had a proud smile on his face, he felt that the game was all under his control, and then he turned his head and signaled the substitute to warm up.

The next time the ball was recorded, the Warriors also changed all the replacement lineups, the main players and several major rotations all sat on the bench, and the three-part game played cards and left off the job, which is the rhythm of the game they are familiar with.

...

The game has more time.

Gray ran to the low to ask for the ball, and then with his skilled low offensive skills, he hit the ball into the basket.

For this very traditional low attack, the Warriors defenders seem to be a little surprised, or some water and soil, he does not know how to defend.

The American basketball culture is more and more do not pay attention to low-level attack, the league is good at low-level attack of the big man has become less and less, the physical quality of the top of the big man is a handful, in which team are the baby, the Warriors these non-rotating players usually can not contact this kind of survival, so I do not know how to deal with this traditional low attack.

Moreover, Gray is not the kind of slow-moving traditional center, his flexibility is very outstanding, in terms of agility and speed comparable to the defender, this height long arm, excellent physical quality, speed is not slow inside, in the one-on-one attack congenital advantage.

Several times in a row, Gray scored the ball, although the score was not pulled in, but Gray had a feeling of fish in the water.

He liked the low-level ball, and then the feeling of one-on-one singles, every time he scored the ball, Gray was able to gain a sense of accomplishment.

The Warriors are really unable to defend Gray, they are too lazy to defend Gray, after all, the Warriors' attack is very dependent on three-pointers, and has a more than 20 points lead, they have the opportunity to squander.

At the end of the third quarter, the game came to the fourth quarter, the Clippers had just approached the advantage of the score to less than 20 points, and the Warriors had two consecutive three-pointers, and once again opened the score gap.

Both sides are the last player on the bench, compared to the Warriors bench is stronger, the Warriors are after all, the champion team, it is easy to recruit stronger fighting power, some players want to hold the thighs.

And the Warriors are indeed better in terms of tactics, and the experience of several championship trophies makes the Warriors' tactical system more mature.In terms of the Clboat, Li Dai is like a palm cabinet, insisting on playing the "star ball" strategy, and there is no tactic to say at all.

When the game entered the final five minutes, the Warriors still maintained a 20-tenth lead, and the result of the game was basically no doubt.

However, on the bench of the Warriors, Coach Nicholas was not happy at all.

"Grey has 28 points and 17 rebounds."Nicholas looked at the latest statistics, he felt that if he continued to fight, Gray could get the big double of 30+20.

More importantly, Nicholas could feel that Gray was gradually playing with confidence.Looking at Gray, who was running on the field, Nicholas seemed to see that a future super-forward was about to be born.

Nicholas couldn’t help but think of Gray’s scouting report when he entered the draft, and everyone thought he would be the strongest center in NBA history, a presence that transcends the Big Four.

“Super center!”The fear in Nicholas’s eyes flashed.

He was also an NBA player, and personally experienced the era of the four major centers, he knows the terrible things of the four center, even in retrospect, he still has a feeling of cold back.

Nowadays, the era of super center has long passed, the NBA has not had a super center for a long time, "small ball system" was born, there is no super center in the league, so Nicholas does not know the Warriors "death five small" can deal with the super center, but the "five small" lineup lack of height is an indisputable fact, the Warriors every time they encounter the kind of speed and height of the big man, will always be asked by the other side.

Gray in front of him is obviously the kind of big man with both speed and height, and has excellent strength and excellent offensive technology.In the face of such an opponent, the only thing Nicholas can think of is a multi-person bag.

The game has entered the final two minutes, the Clippers will be close to the score to less than 20 points, and Gray has successfully brushed out the big double of 30+20.

However, this has not affected the outcome of the game, and the Warriors can celebrate the victory in advance.

But Nicholas did not feel the joy of victory.

"Winning a game, but the opponent came up with a super center, how can we lose it!" 」Nicholas was full of thoughts.
