NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 13 Talking about basketball skills and tactics on the mahjong table!

Mahjong can not only make the journey full and not boring, but also build team chemistry.

It is always good for a team to communicate more.

"Brother Monta, if you can force the offensive players into my defensive area, my defense will be more powerful."

"Thirty thousand."

In the new round, Qin Dong played cards while communicating with his teammates about the defensive strategy on the field.

As soon as this word comes out.

Stephen Curry, who was sitting opposite Qin Dong, had a look of shock and fear on his face.

"My goodness."

"Qin, he is too brave."

"Although Monta's defense is not as good as his own, but you say it so openly, others don't want to lose face."

"You know, others are the bosses of the team at this stage."

Stephen Curry thought to himself.

Monta Ellis, as a well-known card player in the league, is easily overwhelmed by a strong outside line with tonnage and strength. If Qin Dong is by his side, he will immediately go to help defend against delays, or even double-team.

But if you are too far away from Ellis, this will give the opponent's ball holder plenty of time to play the ball.

In addition, even if Qin Dong arrives, once the opponent passes the ball, Qin Dong will have no time to replay it, and it will be beyond his reach.

However, if Monta Ellis can block the opponent's direction of holding the ball and lead him to Qin Dong's defensive area, Qin Dong can quickly help defend and double-team.

Even if the opponent passes the ball, Qin Dong can return to the defense in time.

Of course, Qin Dong's opposing defensive players may choose to cut to the basket or other positions after Qin Dong assists in defense.

But this is not a small challenge for the ball holder.

After being double-teamed, the player's field of vision will be limited to a certain extent. At the same time, the teammates are still in the "dynamic running" and will be very staggered. After holding the ball firmly, the defensive player has already arrived.

For those who are not tall enough and have poor passing ability, they will make direct mistakes.

"Okay, Qin."

"I will do my best to drive the opponent to your area, and at the same time, I will tell the opponent behind you about their position."

"Nine barrels!"

Monta Ellis, who was sorting out mahjong, didn't think as Curry thought, so he was angry.

Ellis accepted Qin Dong's suggestion very naturally. In addition, he also offered to help Qin Dong observe the defensive situation on the field.

Although Qin Dong has a keen sense of defense, he doesn't have eyes behind his back, so he needs to use his teammates to tell him the opponent's offensive position.

"By the way, there's you, Anthony. If the opponent gouges you in the low post, I'll come over to help defend the moment the 'ball is dropped'."

"You're in charge of taking the ball and disrupting his offensive rhythm."

"I'm 'air defense', interfering with and blocking his strong shots and attacking the basket."

"bump!"

"Three!"

Qin Dong said directly to Anthony Randolph.

Anthony Randolph is 206cm tall with bare feet, with a wingspan of 221cm. He has excellent wingspan and superb athletic ability. He has a run-up jump height of 0.89 meters.

typical jumper
But this product is too thin, only 89.4kg, 3.6kg lighter than Qin Dong.

84 kg bench press 7 times, far inferior to the baby-faced Stephen Curry.

In addition, Anthony Randolph's defensive position and defensive habits are very hip.

The Warriors in the previous life entered the NBA in 08. Anthony Randolph, who was intended to be trained by the Warriors management, was almost always on the bench in the second year of his career, except for starting injuries.

After playing for a few years, he became a homeless man in the NBA.

but now it's different
The joining of Qin Dong allowed Anthony Randolph to secure the team's starting power forward at this stage.

This is not to say that the arrival of Qin Dong enlightened Anthony Randolph.

But Anthony Randolph is very obedient. Qin Dong asked him to stand where he stood, and let him cut the ball decisively. The most important thing is that he has no bad habit of poking his butt in high positions and outside the three-point line.

Anthony Randolph, who is obedient and athletic, has gradually improved his defensive efficiency under Qin Dong's defensive command.

It's just that light tonnage and poor strength are flawed in today's league playing inside. When facing a strong inside, no matter how good the defensive position and anticipation are, the opponent can directly crush you with their bodies, making you unable to jump at all.

For this reason, Qin Dong will formulate an inside defensive strategy of [Anthony Randolph defends the bottom line, Qin Dong defends the air].

Among the interior players, the flexible Anthony Randolph can quickly lower the waist and steal.

Qin Dong, who has good bullet speed and excellent wingspan, can block shots very well. In addition, if the opponent passes the ball, Qin Dong can also return to the defense immediately.

As the head coach, Don Nelson saw that the players on the mahjong table listened to their skills and tactics more seriously than they did in the team's [Video Analysis Hall].

It made him cry.

However, seeing the players discussing basketball so seriously and focused, he has no reason not to let the players play mahjong on the plane.

After all, this is much better than hearing players chatting about which nightclub is the most open and which nightclub has the most beautiful women on the plane.

"Head, are you a young man?" At this moment, a young assistant coach saw that Don Nelson's mahjong tiles were a bit shorter than everyone else's.

"Really?" Don Nelson hurriedly collected his mind and counted the cards.

"Fuck!"

"Did you steal my card?"

Don Nelson, who realized that there were really few cards, stood up abruptly at this moment, and spoke 'elegantly'.

"Haha."

"Haha."

Suddenly, Qin Dong and Curry at the next table couldn't help laughing when they heard Don Nelson.

In the entire cabin, there were laughter and laughter one after another.

Golden State Warriors vs Minnesota Timberwolves.

before the game starts.

The media interviewed the Timberwolves' rookie this year, Jonny Flynn, the 6th pick in the first round.

"Johnny, are you prepared to face the best shooter and defensive master of your class tonight?" a white female reporter said.

"Best shooter? Defensive guru?"

"Sorry, I don't know who you're talking about."

Jonny Flynn said in a haughty tone with his nostrils upturned.

Jonny Flynn, who is 183cm tall, currently averages 12 points per game, ranking behind Qin Dong, who averages 13 points per game.

As well as TNT commentator Kenny Smith's news about Qin Dong's bet and donkey's marriage became popular all over the meter.

Qin Dong became the most popular rookie in the 09 class.

The first echelon of rookies in 09: Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings and Qin Dong.

Only these 3 people.

The second echelon of heat is led by rookies such as Stephen Curry and James Harden.

As for high-draft pick Jonny Flynn, like most rookies, there's little discussion outside of his team's city.

The jealous Jonny Flynn would naturally not admit the strengths of Qin Dong and Curry in front of the media.

on the other hand.

Some media reporters conveyed Jonny Flynn's words to Qin Dong in the locker room.

But what surprised the reporter was that Qin Dong didn't feel angry because of this. On the contrary, he said in a very flat tone: "Sorry, I really don't know him."

Reporters who missed the breaking news were disappointed.

But Qin Dong's teammates, at this time, looked forward to it as if they were about to watch a good show.

The expression on Qin Dong's speech just now was a little contemptuous with sincerity, and he always had this expression every time he was asked to play big cards on the mahjong table.
