Chapter 369 Point Guard and Control Center

Back to the Timberwolves offense.

Mourning's style of play has always been very tough, but he is not brainless. Even if he plays low singles, he can beat most centers, but he has no confidence in Li Shengli, so his decision is...fly a kite!

"Come on, Li, come and play!"

After receiving the ball, Mourning hung outside the penalty area, teasing Li Shengli frantically, but Li Shengli froze for a moment, and Monk Zhanger couldn't figure it out.

This stuff...

Are you sure it was Mourning who stepped on the horse?

Are you sure you haven't been lowered by someone?

Some people are usually silent, but if they really want to make a fuss, it is simply scary. Mourning is such a typical example, and everyone except himself is a little confused.

"Damn, don't talk to Shaq in the future, don't let him lead you down!" Li Shengli cursed, bullying him, it is impossible not to defend, because Mourning's offense can be both inside and outside, let him hit the mid-range shot The threat is even greater than letting go of a backcourt player.

Seeing Li Shengli approaching, Mourning ran wildly and tugged, turning the battle into a chase between centers, and when everyone else was dumbfounded, Mourning slipped to the basket with a hit pass. Lucas ascended to heaven in place and succeeded in a dunk.

I rely on!

So simple?

What about the Smiths?

The Mavericks were caught off guard, and turned to look for Smith. This guy put his hips on his hips and watched the scene for a long time, and finally took a look at Lucas who was pulling the basket and shook his head, not paying attention to the strange eyes of his teammates.

Defend, bro!

You are on guard against riding a horse!

Even if you can't prevent it, you can hug him down, will you commit an active foul?

After scoring a goal, Mourning became even more excited and gave Lucas a high-five to celebrate, while Li Shengli suffered from embarrassment and said to Smith, "Smith, you...you...you are really talented!"

"I'm sorry, I... I'm a little distracted!"

"I'm on a horse... Can you still be distracted during the game? Cough, forget it, you concentrate. Guys, counterattack, show them some color!" Li Shengli originally wanted to curse, but couldn't stand Smith's "confession". With a good attitude, I can only give up and lead the team to counterattack.

……

Mavericks attack.

The same as Mourning's idea of ​​pulling Li Shengli's position, Li Shengli's side is simpler and rougher, attracting defense after taking the ball.

As expected, Mourning and Lucas rushed over to double-team together, and in order to prevent the leaked Smith from receiving the ball, the two also did enough fuss.

Mourning took on the frontal defensive task. Lucas always blocked the connection between Li Shengli and Smith to interfere with the pass, and Li Shengli knew very well...it was very risky for him to make a shot, but as long as his pass and reception were fast enough, Smith, who leaked out, still has a chance.

Li Shengli is the starting point, Kidd is the transfer point, and Smith is the offensive end point!

"Kid!"

"Got it, Smith!"

"Huh? What?"

Kidd has a strong view of the overall situation. Considering the whole team, he reacted quickly. He didn't even have time to blink when he received the pass from Li Shengli. A little hesitation, no one knows what this buddy is thinking.

Fortunately, Kidd passed and received the ball very quickly, which bought time for Smith. Even if the shot was a little slower, the air defense could still score, but the score was scored. The middle process... Li Shengli and Kidd was sweating.

"Good job, Smith, just hit like this!" Li Shengli boasted to Smith, then turned around and patted Kidd on the shoulder, but did not speak.

Kidd is so smart!

When Lucas rushed over, his reaction at that moment was absolutely top-notch, without sloppiness, without hesitation, even though the passing route was opaque, he still sent an exquisite assist, and this kind of ball is Stockton It may not be possible to pass it on.

The two glanced at each other, turned around and returned to the rhythm of the game again.

……

In this game, compared with playing the Magic, the Mavericks were like two different teams, and Li Shengli really felt Kidd's excellence.

To put it bluntly, the Timberwolves' tactics are very simple and quite efficient.

The offense uses Mourning to involve Li Shengli. If you can play, you can play. The magic trick, using heads to stack Li Shengli, restricts his shots.

However, Kidd's existence directly revealed the Timberwolves' background.

On the offensive end, as long as you are in position, you must pass to Li Shengli, no matter what the situation is, because the Timberwolves have only two choices... The first is to use Mourning to defend Li Shengli alone, but the defensive effect is very poor. It's double-teaming Li Shengli. Although this kind of defense will leak, the Timberwolves are not afraid of Smith who leaks out, as long as they try to put pressure on the opponent to pass and receive the ball.

Obviously the Timberwolves chose the latter, which Li Shengli and Kidd both knew, and Kidd... was almost playing around Li Shengli, as long as Li Shengli handed him the ball, he passed it to Smith in a completely different way. To be sure, even if Smith is distracted again, the perfect shot will make his performance in the first quarter very eye-catching.

5 of 4 shots and 2 of 0 free throws.

The hand feeling is not good, but the opportunity is too good to stand up. Smith was fed 8 points purely by Li Shengli and Kidd.

Even though Timberwolves head coach Bill called a timeout, returning to the game to double-team Li Shengli's tactics remained the same, and transferred people to Smith's side, but Kidd also turned the wind and began to send the ball to Curry, making Curry feel comfortable going to heaven.

……

The first quarter, 24:35!

The Mavericks led by 11 points in a single quarter. It wasn't that there was a problem with the Timberwolves' offense. It was because the Mavericks played too smoothly.

Li Shengli hit the inside line, and if two people don’t come, they will single-handedly blast your basket, dunk from close, and shoot from far. Although he scored 6 points in the first quarter, he made 3 of 2 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. It feels hot, and the Timberwolves dare not let it go.

But if you really want to come with two people, the defense is bound to miss someone. However, Kidd is not like a rookie at all. He runs aggressively like a marathon runner and never stops. It makes Li Shengli's pass very comfortable. At the moment of passing the ball, he handled it very decisively, and he could always pass it to his teammates on the strong side.

9 assists in a single quarter!

1 for 0 shot, it doesn't matter even if you don't make a shot!

It is worth mentioning that the rebound data of the offensive and defensive rounds cannot be ignored. Although Mourning and Lucas cooperate well, rebounds are Li Shengli's housekeeper. Even if Smith can't help, it's okay, because Kidd can.

No one knows how Kidd ran. Maybe he gave up his shot and made him elusive. Maybe he was a center in his previous life. Anyway, he can always see this guy in every rebound competition. He was stuck by an inside player. He can't compete for rebounds, but no one can compete with him for those who fall farther.

In addition to 9 assists, Kidd also had 4 rebounds, and at this point, Li Shengli only had 5.

……

"Damn, you little lunatic, cough, I'm sorry, Crotty, I'm scolding Kidd!" Curry, who was taking a break during the festival, scolded the street, and Crotty glanced at Curry when he heard the words of the lunatic. .

"Good job!" Li Shengli also smiled, because he played so comfortably in the first quarter.

"That's not the case. To be honest, it's Lee, you are too deterrent. If it wasn't for Mourning and Lucas double-teaming you and causing them to miss, 9 assists? It is absolutely impossible!" Kidd at this moment He was elated, but he still knew Li Shengli's horror.

None of the 9 assists came from Li Shengli, and Li Shengli's 6 points were all scored by himself in a state of incomprehension. Kidd even doubted...even without his 9 assists, it was all Li Shengli This big brother took the lead and worked hard, and the Mavericks were able to lead their opponents in the first quarter.

However, if you can take it easy, who wants to work hard?

Li Shengli no longer needs to use statistics to prove himself. It is really a good thing to raise Kidd's confidence in this game, and Kidd is obviously not that arrogant and egotistical character. He clearly knows that the basis of his performance is Li Shengli. It made Li Shengli feel comfortable getting along.

"Okay, don't brag about me!" Li Shengli smiled, "Since your first show blew up, then use the second game to make up for it. You will show as many skills as you have. Now that you have the lead, remember to make a few more shots. You have to get 10 points for good or bad, we will give you a hand today, as big as you are...you can play as big as you want!"

"Let's stop? The opponent's defense may change in the next quarter, and I may not be able to play as smoothly as the first quarter!"

Kidd replied sensibly, but Curry on the side slandered Kidd for being too conservative, "I'm afraid, your brat's aura just now, Li is guarding us, you can play with confidence, brother today For better or worse, we're going to get you a triple-double."

Three pairs?

Did happiness come so suddenly?

Kidd was almost stunned, but after thinking about it, he is a point guard.

First of all, assists don’t need to be considered. Breaking doubles is a certainty. He can score if he wants to take shots. Even if the shooting percentage is not high, the number of shots can be made up. As for rebounds... Li Shengli really wants him to break doubles.

The crux of the problem now is that if his shot delays the game, can Li Shengli survive?Obviously, Kidd already had the answer in his heart.

Even if the opponent in this game is not the Timberwolves, but other teams, no matter how the lineup changes, no one can deal with Li Shengli. He is only a point guard, but Li Shengli is... a control center, there is no such thing as unstoppable possible!
