Pick Westbrook

Chapter 230 He is Chinese

Iverson threw the ball with one hand and jumped into the air.

He tricked Elton Brand into a leftward shift with the eye-fake necessary for a guard, and then immediately followed up with an aerial pull-bar loop to collect the ball.

hiss!
The audience at the scene gasped, this lever is too handsome.

The basketball flew towards the backboard with an extremely fast spin speed, and then hit the basket steadily.

Swish!
"Good job!"

On the CCTV commentary station, Yu Jia slapped the table and said excitedly.

Su Qun watched and applauded, and couldn't help sighing, "I don't know if there will be a small player like him in the NBA after Iverson."

"Even if there is, the opponent will never play like Iverson."

On-site commentary desk.

Barkley, who played with Iverson, knows very well how Iverson played after entering the league.

"Putting his body into the paint over and over again."

You must know that place is dominated by inside giants, but Iverson dared to enter the inside to challenge the authority of all league centers.

Which of the four major centers of the year was not humiliated by Iverson?
Even the No.1 O'Neal in the league at that time could not avoid such a tragedy!

on the field.

O'Neal, who has not made any achievements, raised his hand and asked for the ball.

Spencer Hawes still remembers O'Neill's shameless request for a penalty kick at the beginning of the game. He swears he has never seen such a shameless player in his life.

"Is your grandma really from Seattle?" Spencer Hawes asked curiously.

Iverson passed the ball steadily, and O'Neal heard the question from Spencer Hawes behind him after receiving the ball.

He turned his head and glared, showing a shark-like fierce look and said, "Your grandma!"

call!
While speaking, O'Neal made a very quick turn around and found room for a shot, and made a low-handed layup.

In the coaching bench of the 75ers, Doug Collins, who saw the ball, frowned and was very upset.

He is a defensive coach, so how could he allow his players to defend in such a way on the court?

"O'Neill's turn was too easy."

On the court, Elton Brand and Iguodala also frowned, watching Spencer Hawes very unhappy.

"Bro, where's your defense?"

"You let a 39-year-old man score so easily on the court?"

Spencer Hawes exhaled the exasperated Captain.

It made him very uncomfortable to be scored so easily by O'Neal, and it was even more uncomfortable to be accused by his teammates for not knowing the inside story.

The point is, Spencer Hawes is also very aware of the temperament of his head coach Doug Collins, which is very serious about defense.

Therefore, the shaky defense just now will definitely be scolded bloody by Doug Collins after the game.

Spencer Hawes thinks he must tell the truth at this time and clear up his grievances.

So he looked at Elton Brand and Iguodala and explained very angrily: "He greets my grandma!"

The first quarter is over.

The Bucks trailed the 24ers by 26 points at 75:2.

Kenny Smith was very surprised by this result.

"How can the Bucks play so closely with the 75ers with such a lineup?"

Barkley was also surprised, but he found the cause of the problem and said directly: "That's because Iverson and O'Neal played so well."

"However, it is impossible to wrestle with this 75ers team only by the efficient performance of the two."

"In the first quarter of the game, when O'Neal and Iverson were double-teamed by the help defense, Danny Green hit 2 three-pointers with spot-up shots."

"That's why the Bucks were able to play like this against the 75ers in the first quarter."

Of course, there are still many pictures on the court that cannot be shown by the data, and Barkley can also see it clearly.

That's defense.

Danny Green's defense made Barkley's eyes shine, because the opponent successfully defended Iguodala twice in a row.

Although Iguodala is not known for his offense, but because of his excellent physical condition, he is the current boss of the 75ers, and he is very good at cutting off the ball and breaking through with the ball.

So with a lot of ball support, teammates support and his own ability blessing, Danny Green was able to defend Iguodala twice in a row, which is really not easy.

75ers coaching bench.

Doug Collins was also attracted by this player named Danny Green.

He let the assistant coach quickly find the player's data performance this season.

Danny Green played 81 games this season, 80 of which were off the bench and 1 starter. He averaged 10 minutes per game and averaged 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist per game.

At first glance, this data seems to be mediocre, but when Doug Collins continues to look behind, he has to feel that this player is really a good piece of jade.

If you carve it well, it will definitely be a top-level jigsaw puzzle in the future.

"Shooting 48% from the field and 41% from three-pointers, averaging at least one three-pointer per game."

"The most important thing is the efficiency value on the defensive end. In limiting the opponent's shooting percentage, it can make the opponent 4 percentage points lower than the shooting average."

"When Danny Green is on the court, the Bucks' average points per game are a full 5 points lower than when he is not on the court!"

"This is his value!"

Doug Collins murmured.

This is why Danny Green was able to defend Iguodala twice in a row.

Seeing this, Doug Collins couldn't help heaving a long sigh.

So there's a reason the Bucks are the defending champions.

They are better than most teams in the league in terms of team player reserves.

"A player who can almost be regarded as the third team can have such good strength and play such an excellent performance. One can imagine how strong the overall strength of this team is."

At this time, Li Lai also let Doug Collins once again see how strong the overall strength of the Bucks is.

The second quarter begins.

Bucks bench lineup: point guard Jeremy Lin, shooting guard Andre Ingram, small forward George Hill, power forward Jermaine O'Neal and center Cousins.

75ers bench lineup: point guard Antonio Daniels, shooting guard Evan Turner, small forward Andres Nocioni, power forward Thaddeus Young and center Marreese Speights.

"The 75ers didn't have a bad bench."

Marshall reminded Li Lai very cautiously.

Li Lai nodded, agreeing with this very much.

Antonio Daniels was once the champion combo guard of the Spurs, with excellent court experience and playoff experience.

More importantly, Antonio Daniels was born in the Spurs system, and Popovich coached the team most strictly and seriously, just like treating a king team.

So because of the habit of playing for the Spurs for a long time, Antonio Daniels will never play around on the court.

Letting him be a team's backup point guard will definitely allow the bench to play well on the court.

Coupled with Evan Turner, the second pick in last year's draft, his physical talent is extremely amazing. He can play with and without the ball.

In this 75ers bench lineup, he is the strongest point of scoring and defense.

And Thaddeus Young at the power forward position is a combo forward with outstanding finishing ability. He is good at layups with his left hand. Except for his unstable shooting, he has almost no major shortcomings, and his offense and defense are extremely balanced.

Marreese Speights is also a very good player.

If Li Lai remembered correctly, there was a figure of the other party in the warrior dynasty in the previous life.

"However, good players are one thing, and whether these players can complement each other and play a stronger role is another matter."

"More importantly, have the 75ers adapted to these players' tactical system?"

Li Lai can say with certainty that the Bucks have offensive and defensive tactics that are very suitable for their rotation.

The second quarter begins.

Jeremy Lin advanced with the ball.

Antonio Daniels did not put a lot of defensive pressure on the opponent as soon as he came up like his teammate Jrue Holiday.

Because of his Asian body, Jeremy Lin did not start fast in the first step.

This is also the reason why it is difficult for most Asian guards to make a head start in the NBA.

For a defender who wants to survive in the NBA, the first step must start quickly.

But Jeremy Lin has his own advantage, that is, his speed while holding the ball is even better than last year's No. [-] pick Wall.

Therefore, Li Lai arranged for the opponent the pick-and-roll tactics with the outside ball at the beginning to solve the problem of Jeremy Lin's starting speed in the first step.

O'Neal mentioned that near the free throw line gave Jeremy Lin a very solid off-ball pick-and-roll.

The 75ers power forward Thaddeus Young decisively chose to switch defenses.

Jeremy Lin remembered the pre-match report given by assistant coach Marshall. Thaddeus Young is a very athletic inside player with a height of 203cm. If it weren't for his lack of three-point shooting, he could even play small forward.

So in perimeter defense, Thaddeus Young is also extremely strong.

"You can see that the 75ers have drafted players with great physical talent over the years."

While Barkley was talking and distracted, Jeremy Lin decisively held the ball straight to the basket.

Thaddeus Young shrank back extremely quickly and immediately followed the opponent, but he never expected that Jeremy Lin would suddenly march forward and smash the ball, and then received a huge pull back.

"Fuck!"

Thaddeus Young did not expect that an unknown Asian player would be able to make such a move. When he wanted to return to the defense, he almost made a split on the court because of his unstable center of gravity.

Barkley was amazed again and again. He really wanted to say that the No. 7 Asian player on the court still has something, and the opponent is indeed qualified to stay in the NBA.

At this time, a scene that shocked everyone suddenly happened on the court.

After Jeremy Lin pulled back, he picked up another crossover, changed direction and went to the basket again.

call!
One-handed throw.

hit!

"Oh my God!"

"That was just now."

Kenny Smith was already shocked in his words.

Barkley nodded with certainty and said, "That's right, that was Iverson's action."

Who would have thought that an Asian player could use Iverson's classic breakthrough skills on the court.

Although Barkley can say with certainty that this Asian player has not even learned 50% of Iverson's breakthrough ability.

But that was Iverson after all.

A defender can master 50% of Iverson's breakthrough ability, which is already very good.

At least in the NBA enough to have his survival position.

CCTV commentary desk.

At this time, Yu Jia worked hard to introduce the No. 7 player to the audience friends in front of the TV.

"His name is Jeremy Lin!"

"His father is Chinese and his mother is Chinese."

"So he is also Chinese."

Su Qun watched the broadcast camera in front of him and praised repeatedly.

On the field, Bucks players Andre Ingram and George Hill touched Jeremy Lin's head one after another to show encouragement.

Su Qun had noticed Jeremy Lin as early as this season's preseason. At that time, the opponent was really not suitable for living in the NBA.

But after just one season of training and playing with the Bucks, Jeremy Lin's growth rate can be seen with the naked eye.

Just breaking through this move just now is enough to make Jeremy Lin a qualified backup guard.

If the opponent can practice his ball handling ability and certain tactical execution ability in the future, it is not impossible for him to even become an NBA starting-level player.

You know, Jeremy Lin was originally an undrafted pick!

Among the draft players this season, even the first-round picks have players who have been abandoned by the team, but he stayed.

"The Bucks really deserve to be the most powerful player identification machine in the league."

"This team can always discover players that others are not optimistic about, and can train the opponent to be extremely good."

In the next round, the Bucks continued to attack.

The 75ers deserve to be the team that can rely on defense to make the playoffs this season.

After being scored by Jeremy Lin in this way, they decisively double-teamed defense when facing Jeremy Lin's pick-and-roll.

At this time, Jeremy Lin did not have a strong ability to deal with double-teaming and turn it into an offensive advantage.

Therefore, when he encounters a double-team, he can only pass the ball to his teammates as early as possible.

Jermaine O'Neal catches the ball from a high position and has a wide open space in front of him, but he doesn't have the ability to shoot long-distance two-pointers.

Barkley, who saw this scene, was extremely puzzled.

He is very aware of the strength of the Bucks coaching staff.

It stands to reason that they shouldn't have made such a big mistake on the court. After O'Neal was allowed to pick and roll, the opponent couldn't directly complete the next offense. Isn't this a waste of an offensive opportunity and defended himself?
But soon O'Neal's way of handling the ball told Barkley the answer.

Cousins ​​suddenly plunged into the paint from the waist and demanded the ball strongly.

Jermaine O'Neal hit the ground and passed in, and at the same time moved to the free throw line to attract the defense's attention.

At this time, the Bucks are still ambushing three shooters Jeremy Lin, Andre Ingram and George Hill on the outside.

Doug Collins has a deep memory. He clearly remembers Andre Ingram's excellent performance in the playoffs in the first two seasons.

The opponent is also a player who knows nothing but shooting, but he can shoot!
Therefore, Doug Collins, who saw this scene, rushed to the center line of the court and shouted: "Don't double-team, the opponent's outside line is full of marksmen!"

Kenny Smith at the commentary desk heard Coach Doug Collins' shouting at close range, and he agreed with the opponent's tactics very much.

This season, the Bucks are the first team in the league in both the number of three-pointers made and the field goal percentage. Westbrook and Artest, who are the worst three-pointers in their team, both have 37. % or more three-pointers.

So to defend this team, don't easily let go of the shooters outside the three-point line.

"Fortunately, the inside center for the 75ers is Marreese Speights."

"A player who can match Cousins ​​in terms of height and weight."

"So with him, Cousins ​​may not necessarily be inside"

boom! ! !
