The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 18 18. Revisiting

Not to mention that the narrator Jinger felt incredible this time, even his old partner Karen's eyes widened.

Although Su Jiu's body was very strong in the No. [-] position, it was written in the draft report at the time:

"Excellent physical fitness, but poor long-range shooting ability, organizational ability is not up to the main force level, poor defensive experience, slow reaction, can only rely on the body to fight."

But in the defense just now, not to mention the defensive experience, Su Jiu's personal reaction on the field and the focus of defense have reached the point of perfection.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to readjust the center of gravity so quickly and complete a successful defense against Rose.

If this defense was on one of the league's defensive masters, or a player whose survival depends on it, then it would definitely not shock anyone.

But this time the defense came from an undrafted pick whose defense was named by a scout, except for his body, which was below the league average.

Just when Su Jiu had just shown his offensive talent to the crowd, and before the fans had finished digesting it, he once again showed his defensive talent on the field.

This brought even greater shock to others.

At this time, Su Jiu, who was the party involved, just clapped Turkoglu's hands, without much expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Facing Rose's frontal change of direction at first, even he himself thought that he might be in a big embarrassment and be knocked down by Rose, but Su Jiu himself was surprised by his body's defensive ability far exceeding the normal training level.

He didn't seem to understand something until just now, because what he drew in this game was the Klay Thompson experience card for the 14-15 season.

As a 3D player who can be ranked in the history of the league, Thompson not only has a stable three-pointer on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is also the main figure for the Warriors to defend the sharp knife on the opposite perimeter.

So in addition to acquiring Thompson's offensive ability, Su Jiu also successfully acquired Thompson's defensive ability.

In addition, the overall quality of this body is already very good, so it successfully interfered with Rose's attack.

If it wasn't for the obvious difference in speed between Ross and Ross, then maybe Ross wouldn't even have the chance to pass Su Jiu.

This successful defense obviously made Su Jiu very excited, because he already has a very good physical fitness.

Coupled with the help of the system, this made Su Jiu feel that he is not far away from gaining a firm foothold in the NBA.

I thought that Thompson's experience card was drawn in this game, and facing Rose might be embarrassing, but in the end he took the lead in making contributions on the defensive end.

The original Su Jiu put most of his focus on the offensive end, thus ignoring the ability brought by the defensive end.

Now calm down and think about it, a game is not only about offense, defense is also crucial.

If he can perfectly suppress Rose's offense in this game, wouldn't he be completely popular in the league? !

Even Su Jiu had already thought up the title of the next day's Basketball Daily.

"The No. [-] pick was ruthlessly sanctioned by the undrafted pick? "

"Undrafted show great power, counterattack the top pick and reach the sky in one step? ! "

"After many years, the Chinese demon star is stirring up a storm in the basketball world! "

As soon as this thought came into his mind, Su Jiu became even more excited.

After the timeout, all the magic team's bench gathered around and celebrated Su Jiu.

"Sure, Su, you're really hiding something. You actually defended against Derek's attack in one-on-one. Tell me, how many things have you kept from me!"

As soon as Su Jiu left the field, Courtney Lee immediately hugged Su Jiu's neck. He was very excited, as if he was the one who defended Rose on the field just now.

Although every player will have great fantasies from the beginning of entering the NBA, fantasizing that he can become the pillar of a team, or even the star of the team.

But the reality is often cruel. Most players can only become a team's rotation players, and they can't even serve as an indispensable part.

That's exactly where Courtney Lee is in the NBA right now.

No matter how good he was in college, in the NBA, his style of play is only suitable for the development of 3D players.

That's why Van Gundy assigned him the main task of three-pointers and defense in normal times, and Courtney Lee also worked very hard in normal times, but just now, he saw that Su Jiu first made an unreasonable three-pointer on the offensive end, and successfully restricted Rose's offense on the defensive end.

This made him seem to see what he would look like on the court in the future.

In addition, Su Jiu is his good brother, so the whole person is even more excited than Su Jiu.

"You did a good job, Su. The defense just now was very exciting."

After the players left the field, Van Gundy also showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Originally, Van Gundy had a rough estimate of the level of the players on the team.

Because in the scouting report and the preseason confrontation, there will be a general understanding of the overall performance of the players.

But after the last game, Van Gundy thought he had misunderstood Su Jiu's offensive talent.

I didn't expect Su Jiu to stage such a wonderful defense on the defensive end in this game.

Although it seems that he did not fall into a disadvantage in the duel with Derrick Rose, but among the rookies in the same class, there are only a handful of people who can prevent Rose's front change in single defense.

This was obvious to all in the rookie training camp in the summer.

Although Su Jiu was at a disadvantage in terms of speed, his successful defense this time meant that he still had potential to be tapped on the defensive end.

That's why Van Gundy re-examined the failed rookie named Su Jiu.

"I am very satisfied with everyone's performance on the court. I will continue to maintain this style of play. It is estimated that Derek may call Aaron's pick-and-roll on the next offensive end. So Sue, you should pay attention to this."

"I hope you can still play such a wonderful performance in the future."

Since the Magic's current lead on the field is relatively obvious, Van Gundy doesn't need any special adjustments.

He just publicly praised Su Jiu's defensive attitude on the field during the timeout, and encouraged Su Jiu to continue this state in the next game.

After all, for rookies, being recognized by teammates and coaches is what makes them most proud.

"Okay, coach."

Hearing Van Gundy's words, Su Jiu scratched his head in embarrassment.

From the bottom of my heart, I secretly warned myself, "Next, we must pay close attention to performance. Now is the critical period for Van Gundy to observe himself. This is obviously starting to give himself a chance..."
