64. The Who Mamba Style Part II
There are coaches like Gentry who tend to miss their youth, coaches like Old Nelson who like to try, and of course coaches like Smart who have a cold personality.
The outstanding performance of Sun Ce, Curry, and Randolph was recorded in a strict manner, and there was no encouragement to praise the three for their good performance.
Randolph is used to this staid assistant coach, Sun Ce and Curry are a bit difficult to adapt.
But there is no way, this is the society of adults.
In the summer league, just look at the performance. No matter how well these three players played in the first quarter, Smart only let them play for ten minutes in a row before making large-scale personnel adjustments.
After a three-minute intermission, Watson, Coby Carr, Tucker, Devin George, and Chris Hunter were replaced.
For the Bucks, since Jennings only played 27 games a year in Europe, as long as there are games in the summer, the Bucks want him to play more, to get used to the feeling that the opponent has NBA players .
And the lineup of the Bucks is really shameless and shameless.
In addition to Jennings, the Bucks also sent the 2004 second-round pick Royal Ivey, veteran Charlie Bell, veteran Dan Gadzuric and veteran Primoz Brezek's insiders. combination.
Although the Bucks are inferior to the Rockets' lineup except for Delfino, Ilyasova and a few other two or three people, they are still NBA players!
All of them are above D+ level!
Facing such a lineup, Sun Ce looked at Watson who was about to do something big. Originally, Sun Ce was still worried about his teammates who were playing now, and he was still slandering the Bucks for using the NBA lineup shamelessly. Come to play in the summer league, but seeing Watson... Sun Ce feels that the Bucks are really doing the right thing by sending such a lineup!
...
Back from the break, the Bucks attacked.
11 points on 13 shots...Jennings is about to be blown up!
During the intermission, although the head coach of the Bucks summer league and the assistant coach of the Bucks, Jim Polland, did not curse at anyone. After all, it was the summer league, but he was very disappointed with Jennings' shooting choices and style of play, with a disappointed expression beyond words.
Fortunately, Jennings' skills and talents have been revealed in the trial training and training. Jim Pollan has enough patience. Since the young players can't make Jennings have the idea of scoring, then send a group of players A veteran of over five years!
Jennings has hated that look since he was a child. If he hates and ridicules him, it's better, Mamba belief will give him endless motivation, but he can't stand the look that turns into disappointment with expectation in the end!
On the Warriors side, Watson looked at Jennings who was advancing, and felt that he could show his prowess.
Both Curry and Sun Ce can play against the former No. 5 high school student in the United States. Although Watson knows that he can't compare with Sun Ce or Curry, he feels that he has two years of NBA experience. Yes, the two rookies can handle it, and he feels that he can handle it too.
Curry was replaced, and Jennings looked down on Watson at all. When Sun Ce was there, Jennings didn't pay attention to Sun Ce and focused on dealing with Curry.
After reaching the three-point line, seeing Watson wanting to use Curry to defend him and let him go inside, Jennings, who has calmed down a lot now and wants to win the game, took advantage of this and made a breakthrough posture .
Watson retreated immediately, but Jennings didn't rush forward. He slapped the ball and took a step horizontally. After catching the ball, he immediately jumped up and shot a three-pointer...
The assistant coach of the Bucks, Jim Pollan, was speechless. It seemed that he really chose a solo... "Watt?"
Jim - Pollan saw Jennings's wave shot three-pointer hollow hit!
The feel is coming!
Although the choice of the ball is extremely poor,
But it's a good goal!
16 to 27, the point difference narrowed to 11 points!
"The guy who shoots three-pointers is the most annoying!" Watson saw Jennings' three-pointer and thought of Curry, who would definitely take away the starting point guard position if he entered the team.
To return it!
Be sure to return it!
With lofty ambitions, Watson wanted to beat Jennings to save face, but Jennings, who is now highly focused, stabbed the ball out of Watson's hand!
Jennings jumped up towards the ball and poked the ball again before Watson frantically snatched the ball back. Ning Si jumped forward like a four-legged beast, grabbed the ball first, got up and rushed towards the frontcourt!
Jennings steals and counterattacks!
No one was chasing, Watson fell when trying to fight back, and Jennings scored two points with an empty basket.
18 to 27, Jennings chased 5 points in a row and narrowed the point difference to 9 points!
"It's not like this! Those two rookies didn't play like this when they played games. Is this guy so strong?" Watson was about to doubt his life!
Watson is very self-aware. He is afraid of Curry and Sun Ce because he has self-knowledge. After Crawford left, a spot for the starting guard became vacant. Watson knew he could not compete with Curry, but he wanted to give The two rookies took off one by one, and the focus was actually on Sun Ce. It was enough to frighten Sun Ce and dare not compete with him for the position of the first guard substitute.
He feels confident that he can beat Jennings because Sun Ce can beat Jennings...
But now, he feels that Jennings is not at the same level as him at all, he is a real elite player!
Watson felt the deepest malice from this world!
As the saying goes, when someone is worried, someone is happy. Sun Ce looked at Watson who was played by the crazy Jennings on the court, and his mood was very complicated!
The score has been narrowed, it has become more difficult to win, and the state has been beaten by Jennings.
But seeing Watson being abused, how happy he was.
I almost laughed out loud.
The same goes for Curry. Curry wants to win, but he can't bear to watch the picture of Watson being abused.
The defensive end is overwhelmed, and the offensive end may also be affected. Watson's mentality is a bit broken now, and his self-confidence is about to be crushed. His performance is not as good as the son of a famous coach.
Since there are only two timeouts in one half of the summer league, there are relatively few substitutions in the first quarter, and a timeout was called in the first quarter.
After staying until the sixth minute of the second quarter, the point difference was only 4 points behind Jennings' performance of 8 points and 2 assists in the half quarter, and the Warriors called a timeout.
35 to 31, the Warriors are still leading by 4 points. The Warriors scored 8 points in 6 minutes, which is not particularly bad, but it has nothing to do with Watson. Crap! Met the explosive Jennings!
It has not been called a timeout for so long. Smart's purpose is very clear. This is just the summer league. It depends on the performance of more players. Secondly, Coby Carr and the insider Chris Hunter performed well. The two work together Got 6 points.
However, if the game can be won, it must be won. Let players develop the habit of striving to win from the beginning of entering the NBA. The main reason is Curry, a rookie who has shown extraordinary shooting talent.
With 4 minutes left in the first half, Smart replaced Sun Ce with Curry and Randolph.
Coby Carr and Chris Hunter also stayed on the court.
The current lineup is the five best performers among the 11 players who played today.
Seeing that he was only 4 points away from being chased, and the opponent's future 55-pointer was in a state of explosion, Sun Ce felt the pressure came again.
"I really want to win!" Sun Ce is now really determined to win the summer league, which was originally just a springboard to enter the NBA!
The competition among the rookies of the same class!
Not only Sun Ce, but the other four really want to win! Randolph also just finished his rookie season, and five first- and second-year players are now eager to win!
Stimulated by Jennings' explosive performance for more than half a quarter!
