NBA: God-level emperor

Hearing this, Su Bai looked at Jerry Sloan: “You plan to use all 3 long pauses here?” ”

The NBA’s timeout rules, Su Bai is of course very familiar with, each team has 6 long timeouts and 2 short timeouts.

This does not mean that if you have no use in the first three pauses, you can take them all out in the fourth section and enjoy them all at once.

There is a joke in the ancient Dragon Kingdom, once upon a time there was a poor oil seller in his family, who only had two grass houses and barely survived by selling oil.

In this case, his wife still steals a little oil every day to save it.

The oil seller didn’t know, and if he knew, he would definitely suspect that his wife wanted to take his things to honor the old king next door, and ride his wife on a wooden donkey to the streets.

As a result, at the end of the year, the oil seller ran out of money, so his wife took out all the oil he had saved and said, “Sell these for the New Year.” ”

As a result, the two had a good year.

This matter was known by the calendar seller next door, and the wife who sold the calendar also began to save a calendar every day, and at the end of the year, the calendar seller had no money.

The wife who sold the calendar took out the saved calendar and said, “Sell these and take them for a good year.” ”

But who would buy these expired calendars?

Pause this kind of thing, but like the calendar, it will expire and become void.

In the fourth quarter of an NBA game, each team can only use up to 3 long timeouts, with no limit on short timeouts.

After all, the NBA is a commercial league, and it is mainly necessary to take care of the feelings of the audience.

If you accumulate a bunch of pauses together, the audience will be drowsy and will probably fall asleep, who is still in the mood to watch the game.

Therefore, this rule is to avoid the suspension of the game for too long and affect the look and feel of the game.

“Do you know why I didn’t call a timeout just now?” Jerry Sloan said slowly.

Su Bai smiled in understanding, of course he knew.

Jerry Sloan may have some differences with Su Bai in tactics, but in these reasonable application of rules, he is definitely an old quack and has more experience than Su Bai.

Just this tactical pause shows how powerful Jerry Sloan is.

If Jerry Sloan had called a timeout just now when Andrei Kirilenko was injured, there would have been an absolute adverse reaction.

Andrei Kirilenko’s injury probably won’t improve quickly in just three long pauses.

If the injury does not improve quickly, Andrei Kirilenko still lies there lifeless after calling 3 timeouts, which will cause a strong psychological burden on the players on the field.

You may think that Meow will be 4-on-5 until the end of the game, and everything is over.

Once the team is equalized or even overcome, even if Andrei Kirilenko can play with his injury, what is the use.

He is not the indispensable core of the team like Su Bai and Lebraun-James, but a marginal player close to the substitute and the water cooler.

But now Andrei Kirilenko is sitting there alive, and everything is different again. He immediately became a spiritual symbol of morale.

Unlike Thibodeau, Jerry Sloan is also good at using players for long periods of time, and uses the same iron-blooded defensive style as Thibodeau.

But I never heard of any Utah Jazz player who was scrapped and crippled by Jerry Sloan.

A situation like Derek Ross, who was only in the league for a year or two, was used by Thibodeau with a full body injury, which is unlikely to happen with Jerry Sloan.

It was Postman Carl Malone who was used by Jerry Sloan at the age of 35 or 6 and could win the NBA MVP.

Assist king John Stockton, who was used by Jerry Sloan to have a long life to assist record no one can match.

Because Jerry Sloan is a coach who pays a lot of attention to the health of his players.

Combined with Andrei Kirilenko’s injury report, he can estimate at a glance how long it will take for Andrei Kirilenko to recover.

When Andrei Kirilenko was injured, the Utah Jazz were still 12 points ahead, and there were some points to consume.

Using these Miami Heat points chasing time in exchange for Andrei Kirilenko’s physical recovery, Jerry Sloan thinks it’s worth it.

And now it’s different, Andrey Kirilenko has already begun to resume activity.

Give three more pauses directly, and I believe Andrei Kirilenko will be able to play alive.

“5 on 5 is definitely better than 5 on 4.” Jerry Sloan smiled meaningfully.

This smile, Su Bai has only seen on the face of Spurs head coach “Silver Fox” Popovich.

Jerry Sloan has always been a serious coach in his eyes.

“No tactics are needed.” Jerry Sloan warned, “After playing, you can’t let Andrei Kirilenko go into battle immediately, you can’t use anything like Lebran James, and you can’t let him grab rebounds.” ”

Su Bai smiled: “Just let him go to the bottom corner to defend James Jones’ three-pointer.” ”

Jerry Sloan nodded slowly, this tactic is excellent.

Then he suddenly sighed and said: “Sue, you know, it is often said that Lebraun James is a player with his own system, I think…”

Su Bai smiled and said, “Think I’m a little similar to him, right?” ”

“Nope.” Jerry Sloan said, “He just brings his own player system, you even have the coaching system, with you, I just need to tinker.” ”

“No matter how strong a coach is, he needs players.” Su Bai said, “The 4-on-5 just now was really risky. ”

This sentence is not moist at all, just a few rounds of 4-on-5, thanks to Su Bai’s unreasonable three-pointer, and unreasonable full-court long pass, barely kept the lead.

Otherwise, with the state of the Miami Heat’s three giants full of firepower, a few back and forth, I am afraid that they can get more than ten points.

The Utah Jazz didn’t lead by six points, they could have equalized or trailed.

When the first long timeout came, Jerry Sloan slowly called a second long timeout.

He still didn’t arrange any tactics, but chatted unhurriedly with Su Bai.

Andrei Kirilenko carefully stretched his whole body, and it seemed that it was no longer a big deal.

The Miami Heat audience couldn’t sit still, and it seemed that the 5-on-4 advantage was gone.

Several waves of 5-on-4, only chasing back six points, the face of the Miami Heat Big Three over there is somewhat ugly.

“We’re only going to have two short timeouts left in a moment.” Jerry Sloan said, “Sue, it’s up to you next, we have to break the cauldron!” ”
