Chapter 208 207: Phoenix turned into chicken?There is always a way out!
After the game against the Warriors, the next two games were still underdogs. The Nets played at home and the Timberwolves played away. The Suns once again won the game without bloodshed.
Everything is moving in the direction set by acting coach Robert.
In Robert's view, to fight against strong teams in the league, one must strive for victory; while to fight against underdogs such as the Nets and Timberwolves, one must win.
Just like an exam, there is a certain probability of whether you can get points for the big questions, but you must win the simple questions for sending points.
Weak teams are given points.
……
After winning the winning streak, the Suns finally faced a decent opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.
The last time they fought against the Eagles, the Suns won relatively easily. At that time, Lin Feidu hadn't weakened his physical fitness yet, so the three-point rain beat the Eagles to pieces.
Although the Eagles lost the game, they are definitely not underdogs. The team has singles Joe, Josh Smith, white ghost Mike Bibby, and coquettish Crawford. This team is a mixed bag in the East. The current record is only behind James' Cavaliers, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.
Last time, the Eagles lost to the Suns' three-point rain, but now, the Suns no longer use the three-point rain tactic. In this case, the threat to the Eagles is suddenly much weaker.
Game start.
In the first quarter, the Eagles showed a strong combat strength as soon as they entered the battle, and it was obvious that this group of guys was aiming for revenge. From the beginning to the end, they played very aggressively.
In the first quarter, the Suns played 23:18, leading by 5 points.
In the second quarter, the Suns were still playing against the Suns, but fortunately, the point difference did not widen. At the end of the halftime, 44:39, the point difference was still five points.
During the intermission.
Robert began to cheer up the players in the locker room. To be honest, Robert was a good motivator, including before Irwin asked for leave. Sometimes when he needed to be inspiring, Irwin would send Robert to give some speeches.
"The third quarter, it's the third quarter! Let's not wait any longer, just in this quarter, overtake them!" Robert waved his fists, emotionally, which quickly aroused everyone's emotions.
"Okay!" Everyone responded loudly.
The third quarter begins.
Sure enough, the Suns began to reverse.
In a basketball game, it is important to boost morale, but of course it will never increase the combat effectiveness of players just because of morale boosting. The fundamental reason is that the Suns themselves are indeed very strong. At the bottom of the box, the Suns have enough strength to challenge any team in the regular season.
With 16 seconds left in the third quarter, the Suns finally caught up to the point difference, 70:70, and the two teams tied the score.
But the ball is in the hands of the Suns.
beep! !
Robert called a timeout and replaced Lin Feidu, who had only played for less than 3 minutes so far.
"This! Robert seems to want Lin Feidu to play the buzzer in the third quarter!"
With the precedent of Lin Feidu hitting the Celtics with a three-pointer at the buzzer last time, everyone immediately knew the purpose of Robert sending Lin Feidu to play at this time.
And seeing Lin Feidu play, the members of the Eagles immediately tightened their minds.
Pause ends.
Lin Feidu received the ball and attacked.
The offense in this round is different from the last time they played against the Celtics. Last time, the Celtics only defended three-pointers and not two-pointers.
And now the Eagles can't let go of three or two points.
The Eagles are still the best defensive singles, Joe defends Lin Feidu.
"Lin Feidu seems to be going to play with the ball." Everyone held their breath.
Generally speaking, for scoring key goals, Lin Feidu mainly plays without the ball, but when Nash is not on the court, Lin Feidu runs out of space, and others may not be able to pass the ball in time.Robert had thought of this in advance, so he directly instructed Lin Feidu to play with the ball.
In Robert's view, as long as Lin Feidu has enough physical fitness, it's the same with or without the ball, and the difference in efficiency is not big.
In this singles game, Qiao played very well. The last time he played against Lin Feidu, he was very afraid of Lin Feidu's three-point shooting.
The defense was very close, and Lin Feidu overwhelmed him for a while, then passed him in one step, and then used his teammates' body movements to gain space for shots.
Swish!
Two points at the buzzer were scored.
"Haha, Lin Feidu really scored at the buzzer." The commentator and fans cheered.
Robert greeted Lin Feidu who came back after completing the buzzer, and gave him a hug. He smiled and touched Lin Feidu's hair: "Lin, I knew that as long as you have enough physical strength, no one can attack in a single round." Guard you."
Lin Feidu smiled when he heard the words, this was actually a bit exaggerated, so let's just let it go.
70:72
After the start of the fourth quarter, the ball was still in the hands of the Suns.
Nash scored two points in a pick-and-roll, 70:74.
The Suns seemed to have started their scoring journey. In the fourth quarter, the serfs turned around and completely overwhelmed the Eagles.
This is the role of superstars like Nash and Stoudemire. Even if the Eagles lead the Suns by three quarters, once the superstar moment arrives, they can only hope and sigh.
At the end of the game, the Suns won a big victory.
Robert is very happy and has won 3 consecutive victories.
Winning the game, as a member of the team, Lin Feidu should be happy, but now, he is caught in a conflict.
He has played many consecutive games without scoring more than 10 points.
Against the Warriors, scored 6 points; against the Nets, scored 5 points; against the Timberwolves, scored 6 points, and today against the Eagles, only 4 points.
"The scoring average has slipped below 20 points per game."
Lin Feidu sighed in his heart.
But there is no way, playing as a substitute, playing too little time.
And it wasn't until he came off the bench that Lin Feidu knew how fierce the competition in the NBA was. The players who came off the bench were too eager to have a chance to perform. Basically, a few substitute teammates will not pass it back.
It is not like before. When he was the main force, he was the end point of the offense. Now everyone is a substitute and wants to perform, so there is no such thing as an end point.Moreover, even if Lin Feidu is a substitute, he is also the object of key care. The teammates of the substitute see him being entangled, and they will not pass the ball back easily.
……
The fact that the scoring average is getting lower and lower, troubled him tossing and turning.
More than a month ago, he was still dominant in the league, and was also known as "the strongest rookie in history", and was regarded as one of the strong contenders for the scoring title this season.
In this short period of forty days, the situation turned sharply, and suddenly it turned sharply like a fall.
The scoring has changed from scoring 30+ per game to scoring double now.
Phoenix has become a native chicken!
All kinds of pressure came to his heart one after another, Lin Feidu tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep for a while.
In the insomnia, his thoughts are wandering...
A memory suddenly appeared in his mind, Lin Feidu suddenly sat up from the bed, and a strong vitality glowed on his face again: "There is no unparalleled road!!"
