306. The story of Tian Ji's horse race!
306. The story of Tian Ji's horse race!
He presented three reasons.
Everyone was shocked and overjoyed.
"So... Su Hao did it on purpose tonight, even if he was just playing casually, he still managed to rack up 21 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks?"
That's really amazing!
David Lee was stunned.
"Hmm~"
Su Hao smiled and did not deny it. If admitting it would reassure his teammates, it was not impossible.
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Rasul burst into laughter, "So that's how it is! I knew we couldn't possibly lose to the Celtics by 19 points, we couldn't possibly lose so badly."
"So you weren't playing seriously."
Curry smiled and shook his head. "But you're right. A tough fight against a tough one, with the opponent outnumbering you, is definitely not a friendly one."
But what if you're physically weak?
When you're at your peak physical condition, and your opponent is at a lower level, your chances of winning will increase dramatically.
"Yes."
Su Hao nodded and smiled, "In our Dragon Kingdom, this can be described using the story of 'Tian Ji's Horse Racing'."
A horse with plenty of energy is a top-class horse; a horse with depleted energy is a medium-class horse; and a horse with exhausted energy is a bottom-class horse.
In a duel between top-tier horses, we have the advantage.
In a contest between medium-sized horses, we are at a disadvantage.
In a matchup between inferior teams, we still have the advantage. If this continues, we have a very high probability of losing the series.
But if we play against the Celtics, a mid-tier team, as an underdog tonight, we'll still lose, but at least we can recover our energy.
Thus.
Then we'll have the chance to compete against the Celtic mid-sized horses as a superior horse, and we can win.
They might even be wiped out in one fell swoop before they can react.
Rasul was still a little confused, but Curry, David Lee, Coach Dunleavy, and others all understood and couldn't help but applaud.
"This is great, this is absolutely amazing!!!"
Deng Liwei was overjoyed. "I've been worried lately too, not knowing how to deal with the Celtics' continued wear and tear on Su Hao."
This is like an unsolvable problem.
Now... the story of "Tian Ji's Horse Racing" has made me understand.
"Fight like this: take a break first, let the opponent relax, then bounce back and launch a strong counterattack."
"clear."
"Yes, Coach!"
Everyone said yes.
Su Hao added, "In short, no matter how bad the next game is, or how badly we lose."
As long as you haven't lost, you must believe you can win and maintain your faith.
If we back down and become afraid, then the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing will be meaningless!
"understood."
"learn!"
The crowd raised their arms and roared again. Just moments ago, they were in despair and about to lose their fighting spirit, but now they were as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their fighting spirit was high again.
……
On the Celtics' side...
They were indeed fooled, thinking that Su Hao was exhausted from the continuous and intense resistance and encirclement.
They are no longer able to perform at their best.
19 minutes of massacre.
They are leading by a large margin of 2:1.
This situation... looks like the championship ring is already on his finger, just waiting for President David Stern to announce it.
Gone?
That hasn't happened yet, but they are really confident enough to underestimate the Clippers.
Doug Rivers was also unaware of the problem.
He still felt that Su Hao was truly physically exhausted and couldn't perform at his usual level under the intense pressure from the inside game.
As for the 19-minute massacre.
That's normal.
After all... while the team has a strong defense, on the offensive end, the firepower of the "Big Three" is also in a class of its own.
Last offseason, they were hailed as the team with the most firepower in the league.
The Clippers, currently leading the East, have lived up to expectations. What's wrong with them, who slaughtered a bunch of kids and are rebuilding?!
Of course not!!!
