Chapter 145 Didn't You Notice This Pattern?
At this time, the Utah Jazz dared not let Sashiro shoot anymore.
After all, this super long three-pointer is a three-pointer! !
Three points is three points...
It seemed like something was wrong, but it also seemed like there was nothing wrong.
Anyway, in the following game, they adopted a full-court press tactic against Sashiro.
Mitchell went right up to Sashiro, leaving him almost no space.
But Sashiro doesn't care about this situation.
He pushed the ball to the right as if no one was around, making a breakthrough move, and when Mitchell stepped back at the same time, he just pulled up for the shot.
Shoot, score a long three-pointer!!
After scoring the goal, Sashiro spread his hands helplessly and said:
"I told you not to let me shoot. What is this, shooting practice?"
There were a thousand horses running through Mitchell's mind.
Damn it.
Did I let you shoot the ball?
You can take action as soon as you get a chance, who can defend against you? ?
Of course the game continues.
The Jazz are still trying to deplete the players' energy through fast breaks.
And what they did did work.
One person's physical exhaustion was very obvious, and he even showed some obvious symptoms of fatigue.
"Coach...I can't do it anymore."
"Ah? Mitchell, you are kidding me?"
...
That's right, the person who was panting and looking exhausted was Mitchell!
The Jazz coach would never have dreamed that the first player to get tired would be one of their own! ?
"What's the matter? Are you really tired?"
Mitchell nodded.
Although the coach felt a little emotional, he called a timeout reluctantly.
Looking at Mitchell sitting on the bench, the coach looked confused.
Re-examine the situation and think about what you did wrong.
According to my idea, shouldn't the Lakers players be the first to run out of energy?
How come one of the main players of his team is now the first to fail?
All this was a little beyond his expectations, but after thinking for a moment, he understood the problem.
That is it.
Although they have advantages in terms of venue and environment, everyone's physical fitness is similar.
In the case of an unequal and drastic decline, it is normal for one's own team to be physically exhausted first.
Especially Mitchell.
Not only does he have to take on the team's fast break mission, but he also has to contain Sashiro on the defensive end.
This is indeed much more tiring than the average person!!
On the other side, during the Jazz's timeout, Sashiro said to his coach:
"Coach...I..."
Lakers head coach Luke simply waved his hand and interrupted Sashiro.
Got it!
He nodded and waved to the bench.
The man on the bench also understood instantly, put the towel aside, tied his shoelaces tightly and walked onto the court, the whole action was done in one go.
No extra communication.
This also made the audience laugh a lot.
"I am dying of laughter. Extremely skilled!"
"Substitutes are on the field again!!"
"This has been rehearsed in advance."
"Luke: I see. I'm familiar with this."
"Hahahaha, the point is Sashiro didn't play much in the first two games, and he's taking a break now?! That's outrageous!"
"The three-point shots I made just now have brought the score down to single digits. Isn't this wonderful?"
"I was thinking of throwing a few more and tying the score!"
"f**k, do you really think a three-pointer from that far is that easy to shoot???"
...
In fact, Sashiro chose this time to leave not because he felt unmotivated.
It's not because he doesn't want to tie the score right away.
But it's because, super long three-pointers... are really tiring!
Ordinary people can try it, but many people can't even touch the basket when standing at the three-point line.
Not to mention the shot went in, it couldn't even touch the net...
In this situation, it is quite difficult to shoot a three-pointer from the baseline of the court.
After Sashiro threw several times in a row, he felt a little tired.
This situation is not only caused by ultra-long three-pointers, but also because at such an altitude, more oxygen is consumed than usual, making the body extra prone to fatigue.
So Sashiro didn't plan to tie the score in one go.
otherwise.
How to play the next two quarters?
If I continue to play like this and shoot seven or eight more three-pointers, I'm afraid I won't have any strength left for the rest of the game.
This is not a good thing.
Besides, Sashiro felt that the mysterious message he received made sense.
In the first few quarters, it doesn't matter if we lose a few points.
They need to adapt to the current intensity of the game and adjust their bodies to a relatively balanced state, and then try their best to decide the outcome in the last quarter! !
However, being able to drag Mitchell off the court was something Sashiro had not expected.
On the court, the competition between the two teams continues.
The Lakers successfully ran back to create an open space and then easily scored off the rebound.
The Jazz on the other side quickly responded.
Their inside players will directly turn around for low-post singles, and when they see an opportunity, they will directly pass the ball and cut to the empty field.
Rubio easily scored two more points with a layup! !
At this time, the difference between the two teams is not big.
It remained at around 7 points and did not change any more.
Obviously, Nick Young and others on the court have gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game here.
On the contrary, the Jazz played too hard in the first two quarters, which resulted in them lacking physical strength.
This also resulted in their offensive momentum not being as fierce as before.
"The second quarter is almost over, and it seems that the Jazz will enter the third quarter with a leading advantage."
"It has to be said that the Jazz had a big advantage in the first two quarters. As long as they can maintain this advantage, they might have a chance to beat the Lakers at home!!"
"That's right. The key now is whether they can maintain their advantage in the third quarter."
"But I personally think the Lakers might have to fight back at this time."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Don't you see a pattern? Every time Sashiro comes back on the court, the Lakers' score will be much higher."
"yes!"
The other commentator also suddenly realized it at this time.
In other words, the Lakers are temporarily behind at this time, but it is only on paper.
But this situation can be reversed at any time!!
At this time, all the Jazz fans looked at Sashiro with serious expressions.
It was as if they had seen some evil star...
Sashiro just wiped the sweat off his face with a towel and when he looked up, he felt the strange looks from people around him.
Um??
What just happened?
