Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 506 There are no shortcuts in this game!

The NBA's opening game between the Lakers and Bobcats was hailed as the most watched game in NBA history before the game.

The amount of attention it has attracted and the amount of expectations it has received can be said to be unprecedented.

Almost every audience and fan who follows this game, whether professional or not, has their own expectations and imaginations about this game.

It can be said that this is a game that is destined not to satisfy everyone, and is even destined to disappoint many, many people.

Many experts and media reporters joked that after this game, the NBA's attention will drop off a cliff, and Coach D will encounter the biggest black wave in his career.

Who allowed Coach D to spend more than three months to draw attention to this game to such an extent? If he can't fulfill other people's expectations, doesn't he deserve to be scolded?

However, now, at Staples, the entire arena is boiling. Most of the Lakers fans present do not support a specific team in this game because the Lakers are their home team and the Bobcats have D The coach is also their home team.

As long as the game is played well and exciting, they support it!

At this moment, the Lakers fans at the scene were practicing their attitude in this game.

It's not that Ebanks' offense is not good, but that facing Ebanks, his athletic ability can keep up with him, his defensive skills and height can match him, plus Ebanks' offensive talent and His offensive skills are indeed not top-notch, so he can defend quite easily.

On the court, Xiao Ding was under great pressure, because now, standing in front of him was McAway. McAway did not pick and roll, and after half-time, he dribbled the ball directly to Ding Yanyuhang.

You can even use your original intention to slide and shovel.

"Because, at this moment, all 10 players on the field were brought out by Coach Xiao Du, and they have left the strongest mark of Coach Xiao Du on them!!!"

McAway!
Jordan!

Yao Ming!

Not only the Lakers fans at the scene were crazy, the players on both sides of the field were crazy, and even many of the commentators on the scene, no matter which country they were from, had the same excited and crazy expressions on their faces at this time.

Any spectator can see the incredible performance of the ten players on the field that shines like magic during the confrontation.

Maizi stared at Beasley.

The one he needed to defend before was Ebanks.

Any player on the court who gets the ball will get the warmest cheers, applause and the craziest shouts from the Lakers fans on site.

And the performance of these people on the court is worthy of the crazy support of the Lakers fans at the scene.

But in fact, there are not many Chinese national team members and youth team talents who sign up for the NBA draft every year.

Kobe!

At this time, Teacher Zhang Lili's emotions were almost out of control.

But now facing McAway, Xiaoding knew that he would not be so relaxed.

O'Neal stared at Yao Minggan.

Before this time, Xiao Ding's pressure was not that great.

At this time in China, I don’t know if Marvin Williams regrets it, but many Chinese players in front of the TV who did not participate in this year’s draft are really regretful! ! !

Regardless of whether he scored in the end or not.

"In such a game, we actually have two players from China, Dayao and Xiaoding. Our men's basketball team actually has two players who can participate in such a game. Thank you to Coach Xiao Du. Coach Xiao Du is not only for We trained Ah Lian and Dayao, and they also brought out Xiao Ding!”

Then, who the hell thought that in the end, Xiao Ding actually missed it!

The main reason is that the Chinese are still too shameless and feel that it is embarrassing to lose the draft. They even feel that the second round is embarrassing.

"Incredible game, I have never paid attention to the score of a basketball game like this before!!!"

"Thank you to Coach Xiao Du. Without Coach Xiao Du, we would never have seen a basketball game like this!"

McAway stared at Rose.

Ebanks!

Even Beasley and Ding Yanyuhang, who encountered great criticism and ridicule before the game.

"How exciting must a basketball game be before people no longer pay attention to the score of the game, no longer pay attention to the players' data, but only focus on the game itself. How exciting must such a game be? That’s how you can do it!”

Maddie!

Among them, Teacher Zhang Lili, who was the most easily moved and excited, had a hoarse voice and was slightly choked with sobs.

Therefore, in the past three years, no NBA team has guaranteed a first-round guarantee for any Chinese player. Therefore, unless you have a strong desire for the NBA, most domestic players with strength and talent are hesitant. Didn't participate in this event.

Coach Xiao Du chose Xiao Ding because he was the weakest one. If we damn ones participate in the draft, can we be the last ones selected by Coach Xiao Du?

O'Neal!
Ross!

At this moment, they all received huge support from the Lakers fans at the scene.

Because Kobe was staring at Jordan.

However, if you want to become a first-round pick in the NBA, it is not that easy. No matter how outstanding the performance of Arab League, Dayao and Du Kang is, if you don’t have any real ability, it is impossible to get a first-round pick. In the NBA, a second-round pick is You can gamble, but the first-round pick must be carefully considered and will never be used to chance.

At this time, I don’t know how many people were envious, jealous, and hateful to the point of separation.

“I still have a bad mentality, worrying about gains and losses, and the psychological pressure is too great!!!”

In fact, given the popularity of the NBA in China in recent years and the performance of Du Kang, Yao Ming and Arab League, there should actually be more Chinese players participating in the draft.

Thankfully none of the ten players in this game are James.

McAway has tremendous speed and burst.

Offensive players like McAway, Rose, and Westbrook have always been the last thing defensive players want to face.

They won't compete with you on skills. They will compete with you on talent in the first step. As for technology, we can talk about it after you show off your talent.

After the game started, no one of the ten players from the two teams lost their position or was defeated in the frontal attack and defense.

He certainly didn't want to start this game off like this.

He knew that it was impossible for a player to make zero mistakes in a game. Players would eventually make mistakes and be beaten by their opponents. However, Xiao Ding definitely didn't want that person to be him.

But he also knows very well that he is definitely the player the Lakers want to penetrate first.

When McAway came to him, it was obvious that the Lakers star wanted to change his mind and break through one first, and then break through the Bobcats' defense.

And he, the worst official player in NBA history, is indeed a player suitable for being beaten.

As long as he is penetrated, other Bobcats teammates will expose space and loopholes in order to help and save themselves. In this way, Kobe, McGrady and Dayao will have a greater chance.

Kobe and Tracy McGrady definitely wanted to destroy themselves, but they couldn't get away with it, and McAway took the initiative to take on this task. After all, McAway was also a young junior, and bullying him was not considered bullying the younger.

On the court, Xiao Ding, who was stared at by McAwee, was under a lot of pressure, but the expression on his face was still expressionless and calm.

Looking back on Bowen's career of more than ten years in my dream, he went from being a player who didn't dare to defend defensively, to being blown by Bobo's hair dryer to being the blackest and best defensive player in the NBA, to retiring his jersey and blaming the jersey on the Holy City.

He has seen too many powerful offensive players.

Kobe, Carter, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Wade, too many superstars, too many short-lived pops, even the so-called little emperors like LeBron James were scared to the point of weakness under his sliding tackle. He is no longer a weak person, just because this game is really stronger than ever before, and the opponent in this game is also stronger than ever.

McAway, the neurotic knife, the breakthrough maniac, is also Mr. Key.

In less than 1 second, Ding Yanyuhang's mind flashed over how to defend McAway this time.

This attack is when McAway is at his most energetic. Don't let him go just because his shooting is unstable. This shot must put the greatest pressure on McAway!

Players whose defensive shots are inconsistent cannot be released casually. They need to be discouraged first.

If the energy is gone and the spirit is gone, even sharp shooters like Curry and Klay Thompson may miss 10 shots if they let go.

McAway stared at Ding Yanyuhang outside the three-point line with a pair of eagle eyes, and then Ding Yanyuhang came over. This really surprised McAway.

Defending him, not to mention letting him go completely, but taking half a step like Rose did is already considered Rose is confident that his burst of speed is very good, and he is not afraid of McAway. In fact, most defensive players, especially tall defensive players, guard against him. Take at least one step.

“A rookie is a rookie!!!”

"China Ding is still confused. He is the only one among the ten players on the field who may not be worthy of this game!!!"

Is he so good at defending McAway?
Isn't this crazy?

McAway pulls away, and then accelerates, and he can make McAway, a rookie, even his mother not recognize him!
They really couldn't figure out why Coach D would start Ding Yanyuhang in such a great game.

Now, even fools can see that Ding Yanyuhang has become the weakest link of the Bobcats.

The duel between Kobe and Jordan.

The duel between McGrady and Beasley.

The duel between O'Neal and Yao Ming.

The outcome actually depends on Ding Yanyuhang.

Can this Chinese rookie be able to shoulder such a critical task?

Even Popovich on the sidelines looked at Du Kang in confusion at this time.

Before this game, Ding Yanyuhang's performance was indeed very distinctive in defense. It can be seen that coach D is really good, he really teaches, and he really teaches.

but……

Judging from the way he defended McAway, he still didn't have enough experience.

Rookies have to pay a price after all, but it is too painful to regard this game as the price.

And just when Popovich didn't understand Du Kang's idea of ​​reusing a rookie in this game, the Lakers fans who were cheering at the scene suddenly exclaimed.

Popovich suddenly turned his head and looked towards the court!
Then, I saw a shocking scene!
McAway did take half a step out.

McAway is indeed preparing to force a start to break through Ding Yanyuhang.

but!

so perfect!

Ding Yan Yuhang's sideways half step was so perfect! ! !
It just blocked McAway's accelerating breakthrough route and left a little space for McAway so as not to block the foul.

McAway hit Ding Yanyuhang at high speed. Ding Yanyuhang did not fall down, but took advantage of the situation and knocked the ball away from McAway's hand!

"Oh my God!!! I defended McAway from the front and succeeded?!!!"

James stood up from his seat almost instantly.

Ding Yanyuhang's defense reminded him of when he was paralyzed by Ding Yanyuhang on the field.

This rookie's lateral defense is simply invincible, as if he has been playing against opponents like Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Iverson, Carter and LeBron James Wade for a lifetime.

The grasp of that space is so perfect that it makes people despair!

His defense is like Bowen. According to Ray Allen, he was defended by Bowen for a game. Bowen could touch his whole body, confrontation without the ball, confrontation with the ball, small action confrontation, regardless of your athletic ability. Neither an outstanding small guard nor a shooting guard with invincible running ability can escape Bowen's ubiquitous defense. This will upset and discourage offensive players. Even players like Kezi and Leizi are extremely annoyed. .

Ding Yanyuhang's defense is very similar to Bowen!

Bowen saw it himself.

but!

"He's better than me!!!"

Chinese Ding will also place its center of gravity very low. When the opponent moves, Chinese Ding will also adjust his position. Chinese Ding will not stagger or move blindly. He will also predict the opponent's direction and adjust his posture. , position, when the opponent rushes over, he will collide with the opponent very hard, put pressure on the opponent, and completely block the opponent's breakthrough route.

Almost exactly the same!
but!

"Chinese Ding is more flexible than me and has better athletic ability than me!"

More importantly, China's Ding should be 2 meters tall naked, but only 01 meters tall with shoes on.

His lack of athletic ability and height made it difficult for him to deal with Kobe's backsliding throughout his career. He couldn't scare Kobe by standing on tiptoes, so he was always manipulated by Kobe.

This is the only weakness in his defense, and his weakness may not exist in this Chinese Ding!

"Incredible Chinese Ding, incredible Coach D!"

It took more than three months, just over three months, to build a rookie's defense like this, which made Bowen feel as if he had fed a dog throughout his career.

The key is that China Ding's defense was not an accident!
After Ding Yanyuhang pointed the ball away, McAway chased the ball back with his super athletic ability.

The second time he beat Ding Yanyuhang forcefully, he was still pinned down by Ding Yanyuhang, and there was no way he could break through.

Finally, with 24 seconds approaching, I could only forcefully stick to Ding Yanyuhang and pull him out!
Then, the opportunity was seized and Ding Yanyuhang, who had excellent bounce, blocked the shot directly!

"24 seconds violation!!!"

"Xiao Ding's defense became the first 24-second violation in his NBA career, and he blocked one of the best breakout players in the NBA, McAway!!!"

Teacher Zhang Lili is crazy.

McAway on the court was shocked.

This was the first time in his career that he was guarded like this. He didn't even think about it for 24 seconds.

Even if he beat James and scored a quadruple-double in the first game of his career, and James took revenge on him crazily in that game, he had never been so embarrassed!
James, who was still standing at this moment, was sweating profusely at that moment.

He may really only be able to play the role of water cooler manager for these two teams.

But Buckley's voice pulled him back to the display.

“There are no shortcuts, there are no shortcuts in this game!!!”

"Chinese Ding is not a shortcut for Coach D to stay, so fight, superstars!"

"Please, fight as much as you like!!!"
