The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

From then on, Jeremy Lin understood that only by following coach Wang Xiao can he enjoy the victory like he did at Harvard University.

In the NBA, it is too difficult to do this. After all, Jeremy Lin is also a player with a maximum salary, and it is more difficult to trade, and whether it is in the Wizards or the current Bucks, there is no shortage of point guards. Especially the current Bucks, which mainly play the five major lineups of death, a guard under 2 meters on the court will become a drag instead.

Jeremy Lin is extremely fortunate now. Fortunately, he gave up his American citizenship and chose to return to China to play for the China Men's Basketball Team. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to join forces with Wang Xiao during his career.

Although the Huaxia men's basketball team can only be regarded as the middle and lower level in world basketball, and it is completely unable to be compared with the American dream team, Jeremy Lin has blind trust in Wang Xiao. A chance to beat Team USA!

...

In the game between the Bucks and the Nets, the matchup between Jeremy Lin and Antetokounmpo was the focus of attention, but someone took the lead.

Klay Thompson.

Although he joined the Bucks with a maximum salary, if people talk about stars in the current Bucks, Durant will be the first to be mentioned, followed by Antetokounmpo, and Thompson will be mentioned last .

He is such an unknown but stable player.

But in today's game, Thompson showed an extremely fiery touch from the beginning, hitting 3 consecutive three-pointers!

Seeing this scene, Wang Xiao's heart moved. He suddenly remembered that in another time and space, Thompson seemed to be the holder of the highest scoring record in a single quarter. In a game in January 2015, he scored 37 points in a single quarter. 9 of 9 three-pointers!

Due to the difference in time, characters and places, Thompson did not perform that crazy in this time and space, but Wang Xiao felt that judging from Thompson's current hand feeling, it is not impossible to reproduce the feat of another time and space!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao stood up decisively and walked to the sidelines, shouting loudly.

"Give the ball to Klay! Play around him!"

Wang Xiao's words made the players on the field slightly stunned, because Thompson usually plays off the ball, and only receives passes when he runs out of space or the opponent's help defense reveals a gap, although he occasionally attacks with the ball , but most of the time the ball is still in the hands of Antetokounmpo, Durant and Jokic.

But despite their doubts, the players still obeyed the coach's instructions, and the ball was quickly concentrated in Thompson's hands.

"I've given you a chance. Whether you can succeed or not depends on whether you can live up to your expectations."

The highest scoring record in a single quarter in the regular season is 33 points in a single quarter shared by Carmelo Anthony and George Gervin.

The highest score in a single quarter of the playoffs was 29 points in a single quarter maintained by the Warriors star Slippy Floyd.

Thompson has scored 9 points with 3 three-pointers in the opening 3 minutes. He only needs to score 21 more points to break the playoff scoring record in a single quarter.

...

Thompson didn't know what Wang Xiao meant, but he also knew that his hand feeling was exceptionally good today. When the ball was concentrated in his hands, he didn't hesitate at all, and shot immediately when he had the opportunity.

A large number of shots made his shooting rate inevitably decline, but even so the shooting rate is still extremely high.

Five minutes into the first quarter, Thompson made 7 of 9 shots, including 4 of 5 three-pointers, 1 of 2 two-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws to score 16 points.

The Nets began to realize that the situation was not good, called a timeout and arranged a targeted defense against Thompson after the timeout.

But at this time Thompson was completely open.

In the last 7 minutes of the game, Thompson made the fifth three-pointer.

In the 9th minute of the game, Thompson made the sixth three-pointer.

In the 11th minute of the game, Thompson hit the seventh three-pointer.

At this time, the Nets are already a little anxious!

7 three-pointers in a single game, that's 21 points! Coupled with Thompson's 2 mid-range shots and 2 free throws, Thompson has scored 27 points! Only 2 points away from the playoff record of 29 points in a single quarter!

If he is allowed to tie or even break this record, then all players in the Nets will become Thompson's background board and will be recorded forever until someone else breaks Thompson's record!

This is something that the entire Nets team cannot accept, so in the remaining 1 minute, they guarded Thompson strictly and did not give Thompson a chance to make a shot at all.

As time passed by, Wang Xiao, who was on the sidelines, became a little anxious.

Seeing that Thompson had no chance, Wang Xiao had the cheek to call a timeout.

At this time, there are 34 seconds left before the end of the first quarter. The Bucks have the ball, and the score of the two teams is 36:24. The Bucks have established an absolute advantage of 12 points.

Logically speaking, the Bucks, who are on the leading side, shouldn't call a timeout at this time, but in order to let his disciple break the record, Wang Xiao has no choice.

...

The Nets head coach's eyes blazed.

"The Bucks are bullying too much! We must defend the next goal no matter what! We can't let Thompson throw the ball in!"

On the Bucks side, Wang Xiao was arranging the tactics for the players to attack next.

Listening to Wang Xiao's tactics, the Bucks players were a little speechless, but Thompson's eyes were full of excitement.

The coach's arrangement is entirely to let himself break a record, and he even arranged a lore tactic for this!

As a professional player, no one doesn't care about personal honor, even Thompson, who has always been low-key and team-oriented!

"I must score the next goal! I must not disappoint the coach's expectations!"

After the timeout, players from both sides reappeared.

The player marking Thompson has become Jeremy Lin, the Nets' best perimeter defender.

At this moment, Jeremy Lin was also a little speechless. He originally thought that his most difficult task today was to defend Brother Antetokounmpo, who was 2.11 meters high, but he unexpectedly killed Cheng Yaojin halfway.

Klay Thompson, this person is also a player personally selected by coach Wang Xiao. I didn't expect him to have such a strong scoring ability!

At the start of the game, Jokic served from the sideline and passed the ball directly to Thompson.

Jeremy Lin didn't dare to neglect and rushed forward immediately, but Thompson had just moved, and when Jeremy Lin wanted to follow up, he immediately bumped into Brother Antetokounmpo.

"It's a pick and roll!"

The face of the head coach of the Nets on the sidelines remained unchanged. He had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but the next moment he opened his mouth wide in astonishment.

I saw that not only Antetokounmpo, Durant also blocked Thompson's other side almost at the same time.

Double cover! And it was Durant and Antetokounmpo who were the absolute core of the team to cover for Thompson alone!

When two big men over 2.11 meters tall are covering for Thompson at the same time, there is no obstacle in front of Thompson!
