NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 411 Defensive Rating

This is a comprehensive test for the Mavericks, so the whole game was played like a regular game, and several assistant coaches acted as referees. Dengdu watched every move of the players from the sidelines.

In the first round, Li Shengli's team took the lead.

Because it is an intra-team game, the selection of candidates for each position is not so strict. Except for Li Shengli and Kevin, the other three new teammates are outside players, and one of them is Reggie Slater, a rookie who was not drafted. Crotty faced off, starting the first round of the new-old contest, but everyone was a little stunned at the beginning of the game... because Lei Jie's dribbling was like playing acrobatics, the wind was blowing in the crotch, and he dribbled for a long time Nothing else happened.

This is a street player?

But this operation is too coquettish, right?

I can’t say that I look down on streetball players, but there is still an essential difference between streetball and the regular game. Occasionally, in the intra-team competition of a professional team, it doesn’t make sense for you to hold a 40-meter machete instead of cutting people, and insist on performing for everyone to cut flat fruits, right?

"There are too many extra moves, and I can't enjoy it in professional games!" Kidd's head hurts. If he is allowed to play ball, he can play more fancy than Lei Jie, but what is said here is that practicality is king, and he can't pass People are all useless, "Crotty, stop playing with him, send him away!"

Send him away?

Hearing Kidd's shout, Crotty smiled rarely, and it was cruel.

Specializing in defense, he knows every type of opponent and the intention of every opponent's actions, while the weakness of Lei Jie on the opposite side is too obvious. The extra movements make his first step start slow and break through stiff.

To be honest, even if the follow-up can be slow, the first step is absolutely not.

Bang!

Grasping the strong gap, Crotty broke the ball with ease. Reggie's face turned green, and Kidd's team moved quickly, and the defensive counterattack started quickly.

……

Reggie was just an episode. The original plan of the Kidd team was to smash Kevin Garnett. After the frontcourt was settled, Kidd directly handed the ball to McLeod for two-man singles. Li Shengli also did the same. Falling under the basket, I watched the little brother's first official performance with peace of mind.

Speaking of which, McLeod's height is a few centimeters behind Kevin Garnett, but his body is obviously thicker than the latter, and in the case of tonnage, it is a pity not to use this advantage to gain muscle , So McLeod turned around and hit Kevin with a low back, using all his strength.

But what is surprising is... the seemingly thin Kevin was able to withstand McLeod's back attack, and McLeod felt his face was hot and lost face, so he had no choice but to turn over and shoot a jumper in the low post to end the situation. attack.

Bang!

A clean big hat!

McLeod's face became more and more ugly, and he couldn't push his back. Can he still be blocked when he turns over and jumps?

Everyone was amazed by Kevin's defensive awareness and timing. Li Shengli saw it more clearly at close range, and felt an unspeakable joy in his heart. To be honest, McLeod was a bit careless in this shot, but even if he was more careful , Kevin can also harass his shooting and lower his shooting percentage.

pretty good!

Li Shengli gave Kevin's defense a good evaluation for the time being!

……

The next mutual attack was basically the torture of the rookie by the three defenders of Dallas, but the difference in the interior... the rookie Kevin actually used defense to torture McLeod crazily.

In one-on-one singles, Kevin can always stick to McLeod no matter where he is or when he makes a shot. He wants to push with his body and imitate Li Shengli's bulldozer style, but Li Shengli does not allow it.

Good or bad is also an intra-team competition. Li Shengli's idea is...to ensure a fair environment for Kevin. After all, in the regular arena, unless it is a crushing fast push, the opponent's teammates cannot remain indifferent.

After going back and forth like this, McLeod was really crazy.

The shooting efficiency in singles dropped to a rare trough, and he really gave up. The offense of Kidd's team was handed over to Kidd's three guards again, but McLeod's handing over the shot did not cover up Kevin's high efficiency. Defensive, for all to see...

Kevin moving speed?

That's really fast!

Divide the defensive half into two parts based on the line from the top of the arc to the basket. Wherever McLeod is, the pressure will be great, and Kidd's three guards rely on pick-and-rolls to throw off the defense and always be there when they want to make a shot. They saw Kevin's shadow in front of them.

To be honest, an inside line with both height and speed is very fucked. Unless Kidd's three guards shoot three-point long-range shots, or stagger to the other side of the offensive half, Kevin facing 211 will die. When Li Shengli didn't make many shots, Kevin used defense alone to tie the scores of the two sides together.

……

After 6 minutes of playing, Gordon let Li Shengli off the field, and another substitute came up to try his luck, while Toby, Gordon, and Li Shengli watched from the sidelines, all three of them had smiles on their faces.

"Well, this kid can do it?" Toby is very proud, because he is the one who handles the team operations in the draft. The better Kevin Garnett plays, the more it proves that Toby and the management have vicious vision. .

"Very good. Although the intensity of the game is not high, his performance has exceeded my expectations." Gordon also said happily, but he was not at the level of excitement. "Single defense is not very good, but he The help defense is doing very well, and he is also very active in rushing and grabbing rebounds, which has greatly improved our overall defense."

After Gordon finished speaking, he glanced at Li Shengli. In his opinion, if Li Shengli and Kevin defended alone...

Whether Li Shengli defends alone or assists in defense, he is definitely a ghost in the league. ,

As for Kevin, single-defense can barely reach the passing line. Don't look at this game that tortured McLeod very badly, but McLeod is not worth mentioning in the fourth position of the league. When encountering top power forwards such as Malone and Barkley, single defense is absolutely useless. All you can see is his excellent defensive ability and exaggerated defensive area.

But there is one thing to say.

The Mavericks have Li Shengli's defense, and the strength of the inside line is already abnormal. Coupled with Kevin in this development period, one can imagine how disgusting the Mavericks' internal defense is, it's like wearing a pair of iron underwear - poke Impenetrable!

"Li, what do you think?" Gordon handed over the topic to Li Shengli.

"I don't see much, I like this kid! Damn, his defense is so suitable for me, really, as long as he can give me half of the backcourt, even with Shaq and Karl, I can... Cry for them!" Li Shengli has been aggrieved for a season, until now he finally felt a little elated when he saw Kevin, but Gordon and Toby glanced at each other...

O'Neal + Malone?

Wasn't riding a horse the configuration of Jazz, you + Malone?

But is that thing that people can move? You don't know what the Jazz looked like last season?

"Cough... I believe you!" Gordon coughed dryly, "Now the defensive assessment is complete, and our defensive end will usher in a leap forward. Now we still need to look at his offensive ability. Seriously, if you are When the opponent double-teams, his offensive ability will be magnified. And the level of offense will determine how important he is to us!"

"It's easy!" Li Shengli nodded, and then shouted to the field, "Kevin, it's time for you to attack, let go."
