I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 640 The Role of Superstars

Antetokounmpo missed a three-pointer, and Yi Jianlian took the rebound.

Yi Jianlian is a bit used to it now. When Antetokounmpo shoots, he just grabs the rebound without thinking. The sooner he gets in the position, the better he can get the rebound.

On the contrary, the Monroe in front of him who has been pushing him and touching his buttocks is obviously much lower in consciousness. Antetokounmpo shoots, not only does not grab rebounds, but also looks at you stupidly at peat. !
Yi Jianlian twitched the corner of her mouth, it seemed that this Monroe was a bit stupid
Xu Xuan received the ball and gave it to Russell who advanced in the middle. He walked the bottom line to a 45-degree angle on the left, and Middleton defended him.

Russell arc top organization.

The Lakers also play the pick and roll.

When Xu Xuan was in possession of the ball in the middle, most of the pick-and-rolls were Yi Jianlian.

When Russell puts up the pick-and-roll, it's mostly Ingram.

Two young men pick and roll.

The Bucks switch defenses very quickly.

Seeing Ingram move, Terry, who was defending him, immediately moved up to defend Russell.

Strange to say, the Bucks' current matchup defense is to use Terry to face Ingram, use Brogdon to face Russell, and use Middleton to face Xu Xuan. Antetokounmpo is now playing the fourth position.

This matchup defense is a bit strange, because Terry is a point guard, and his height is only 188, which is obviously an absolute disadvantage against Ingram, who is 206 tall.

"I may be able to guess Kidd's thoughts. Assuming that Terry is used against Russell and Brogdon is used against Ingram in a normal matchup, it is likely to be double-bombed, because Brogdon is against Ingram. Mu is also a disadvantaged matchup. Needless to say, Terry played against Russell, and he was blown out." Yang Yi helped the mirror frame, and slowly analyzed, "Because the Bucks are using Middleton's dislocation. Defense against Xu Xuan is equivalent to the third position. They lack someone who can defend against Ingram.

And if you match up like this, maybe Terry's point against Ingram will be blown up, but first of all, Ingram's personal stability is not high, and the stability of scoring is not high. Gordon may have had a lot easier time coping.

I guess what Kidd is thinking is that instead of being completely blown out, it is better to keep developing all the way, which may have a miraculous effect, and Ingram's point cannot be the key to the outcome of the game.

It's a different kind of gamble. "

"Hey, Teacher Yang, I think you're right."

Ke Fan nodded, expressing his agreement with Yang Yi's point of view: "Kidd has always been a head coach who thinks a lot and does a lot. Maybe he thinks so."

On the court, as soon as Ingram mentioned it, Russell naturally faced Terry.

The Lakers forcibly changed the dislocation defense to the matchup defense.

Russell played Terry and has the advantages of height and footwork.

Ingram went down immediately after the pick-and-roll, and Brogdon had no choice but to defend.

Russell didn't hesitate, took advantage of Terry's slow moving speed, stepped over to the left side, and moved laterally to shoot.

Three points——

"Shh" sound!
There was a burst of white waves in the net.

in!

Three point hit!

100 is better than 98!

The Lakers overtook the score!

back.

The Bucks attack.

Terry advances to the frontcourt.

The Bucks moved the ball continuously on the outside, very fast, and everyone kept it in their hands.

The Lakers' defense was quickly disrupted.

Middleton got a chance in the bottom corner. Although Xu Xuanfang came back, Middleton still completed the shot.

"Shh!"

Three points also scored!

100 is better than 101!

The Bucks pulled back the score again.

The game became tense.

The Lakers attack.

Russell still asked Ingram for a pick-and-roll outside, but this time Yi Jianlian mentioned a 45-degree angle on the left and helped him do a second pick-and-roll.

"Did you see that Russell's status in the Lakers is actually very high. You see, since he came on the court, Xu Xuan has greatly reduced the time of possession of the ball and the number of shots. His teammates are also very active in pick-and-roll. Russell's status is obviously higher than that of Ingram." Ke Fan said.

"Ingram's style of play is indeed a little immature, compared with Russell at present." Yang Yi nodded: "I personally think that Ingram is a player with a very promising future, but in terms of growth rate And stability, I am more optimistic that Russell will enter the All-Star one step ahead of him, and Ingram needs to exercise and strengthen too much."

Judging from that game, his sense of presence is not as strong as that of the Bucks Brogdon. You must know that both of them are one-timers, but Brogdon is the sixth pick in the second round, and Ingram It is the second place.

In the case of No. [-] pick Simmons offseason, Ingram should dominate, but now he can't even compare to a second-round pick.

On the field, the game continues.

Ingram, who had been complained about by teacher Yang Yi just now, faced Brogdon's defense and hit a strong two-pointer.

Ke Fan burst into laughter immediately: "Mr. Yang, you are really open-mouthed. You just said that Brother Ying has to study, and he immediately scored points."

The Bucks attack.

Antetokounmpo received the ball after the pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, and rushed in with the explosive bag.

Xu Xuan had a hard time defending against it.

There is no way, this advantage of height and weight cannot be erased.

But this time, he saw the opportunity, and when Brother Antetokounmpo was dribbling, he slapped him and broke it!

With a "snap", the ball flew from Antetokounmpo's hand.

Antetokounmpo is a little confused.

It is true that he has a sharp breakthrough, but in fact he rarely dribbles, and often takes three steps up in one step inside the three-point line, so he rarely dribbles, and he never thought that he would be cut off by Xu Xuan. It can only be said that Xu Xuan seized the opportunity this time is really good.

With a slap down, the ball was slapped towards the midfield by Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan was overjoyed instantly, and slipped past Brother Antetokounmpo like a snake.

Half time, catch up with the ball.

Under the roar of Kidd on the sidelines, the Bucks hurriedly withdrew.

But Xu Xuan, who was accelerating at full speed, was already a block away from them, and everyone in the Bucks could only follow behind to eat ashes.

"boom!"

When he came to the frontcourt, Xu Xuan was not polite at all, he pulled it up directly, his body stretched in the air, like a wild goose fluttering its wings, his arms straightened, he held the ball, and faced the basket with a burst of "chug!"

104 is better than 101!

The point difference became 3 points again.

bottom corner.

Brogdon missed a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Monroe protected the offensive rebound and threw it to the outside line again.

Antetokounmpo catches the ball.

Without even hesitation, Brother Antetokounmpo is a three-pointer when he pulls it up!
Sixth three-point attempt of the game --

"Shh!"

Hearing the familiar sound of surfing the Internet, Kidd heaved a sigh of relief on the sidelines.

Finally got in! ! !

If he doesn't come in again, he's ready to make another coffee
Who made it [-]-for-[-] before? This hit rate is so touching.

104: 104 flat!
"Brother Antetokounmpo's three-pointer. Got it! It's not bad, he hit a three-pointer, and the shooting percentage is one of six."

Listening to Kefan's explanation, the corners of Yang Yi's mouth couldn't help twitching. The hit rate of No. [-] in No. [-] is not bad?
Old hermaphrodite.
Tied again!

Anxious situation!
Lakers offense.

Russell holds the ball across half court.

In such a tense situation, Russell was also a little flustered. He was almost cut off during the dribble, and barely protected the ball by rolling and crawling, but it was already a bit difficult to organize an attack.

Seeing this, Xu Xuan hurried up to catch the ball.

arc top.

Facing Middleton.

Middleton adopted a close defense and did not want Xu Xuan to shoot from the outside.

The Bucks still defend the zone defense.

The inside line Antetokounmpo suppressed the basket, but Monroe was on the flank.

Xu Xuan observed it carefully.

From a purely defensive point of view, the Bucks' defense is obviously more than that of the Lakers.

Middleton's idea is to force Xu Xuan to go to the basket, because they have a defense and height under the basket, and Xu Xuan will be very uncomfortable going in.

I have to say that this defensive judgment is also very good.

With Middleton's long arms entangled, it was very difficult for Xu Xuan to get rid of him and shoot a three-pointer.

But Xu Xuan also has a way.

Faced with such a close defense, there are two options, either to run in or take a step back.

With the opposing inside defense in place, Xu Xuan didn't choose to run into it, but stretched and took a step back—a series of small steps followed by a three-pointer—

At this time Xu Xuan has pulled to a position one step beyond the three-point line.

Middleton was swayed by Xu Xuan's forward movement at first, but he couldn't keep up with Xu Xuan's small steps when he came back immediately.There's a vacancy--

It was just an instant opportunity, but for a player like Xu Xuan, it was enough.

"Shh!"

In the next second, the basketball was out of his hands.

Middleton couldn't catch up, and could only watch Xu Xuan complete his shot.

A three-pointer hit the net, and white waves appeared in the basket.

107 is better than 104!

At the critical moment, Xu Xuan stood up!
"Xu Xuan's retreat step is also very effective, and the footsteps are clearly explained, one-ball, one-step, two-step. Shot." Yang Yi analyzed: "There is no redundant movement, and there is nothing worthy of controversy. "

I suspect you are implying someone.
"Indeed." But Ke Fan still nodded, and said truthfully: "There are really many stars in the league who will use this move of stepping back, but there are not many pleasing ones, and Xu Xuan is one of them. "

Brother Deng's step-back jumper is really a bit unsolvable.

Generally, there will be people who learn and imitate tricks that are relatively unsolvable.

Like fadeaway jumpers, big dream steps, sky hooks, etc., some of them can be imitated better, or even innovated.

It's like Xu Xuan's accomplishments in the fadeaway jumper.

And there are a lot of bad imitations.

Xu Xuan is the better one to imitate. He doesn't use much step-back jumper, but he takes it out to save the emergency at the critical moment, and the effect is very good.

The Bucks attack.

Antetokounmpo rushed to the basket.

Xu Xuan caused a defensive foul.

Being pulled up by his teammates from the ground, Xu Xuan patted his butt helplessly.

Antetokounmpo is unreasonable to fight like this, and there is no way to target it.

Made both free throws.

107:106.

Lakers offense.

Outside the three-point line, Ingram and Russell pick and roll.

The pick-and-roll did not find a chance, and the Lakers continued to transfer the ball from the outside.

But there was no loophole in the Bucks' zone defense at all, and everyone moved quickly without delay.

This makes the Lakers' offense feel a bit stalemate.

Xu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to ask for the ball again, Russell took a step through the pick-and-roll, Xu Xuan scored the ball, Russell made a three-pointer——

"Shh!"

in!

"Wow, beautiful three-pointer! Beautiful arc! Xu Xuan will help the team make contributions one after another this time."

Superstar role!
On the Bucks side, Antetokounmpo stood in a low position and set up a lower screen for the wing players, who used the screen to cut horizontally.

At the same time, on the other side, Middleton is also running towards the basket.

However, Brogdon's lateral air cut was not successful.

Xu Xuan pulled back from the top of the arc to defend in place.

Brogdon took the ball, flicked it to the opposite side, and passed it to Middleton.

Everyone under the basket quickly turned around. Yi Jianlian also rushed towards Brogdon just now, and there was already a gap under the basket.

fortunately.

At the critical moment, Xu Xuan arrived again, filling in the loophole.

After Brogdon's air cut failed, he went directly to the top of the arc from the left free throw line, and Middleton didn't have a good chance, but Brogdon's move left the Antetokounmpo behind.

Middleton didn't hesitate either. In fact, the Bucks' complicated tactic was to run out of position for the air cut.

Antetokounmpo catches the ball.

At this time, Xu Xuan was still playing Middleton, but Yi Jianlian was under the basket, but to the left of the basket.

When he came back from the defense, Antetokounmpo had already reached the basket, and while giving him a physical confrontation, he successfully scored the ball.

110:108, leading by two points.

"Don't you think this tactic is a bit too complicated?" Yang Yi clicked his tongue.

Continuous air cuts, continuous moves, and continuous passes are prone to mistakes.

Yang Yidao: "The Bucks can actually have a better way. For example, just let Antetokounmpo handle the ball in the low post. It is not too difficult. After all, it is Xu Xuan who defends him. Antetokounmpo has a huge advantage in height and size. Strong If you fight, it's probably not a big problem."

What kind of team is the Bucks at this time: They play teamwork, play coordination, play screens, and play air cuts. Their air cut frequency last season is second only to the Golden State Warriors.Unlike the Warriors who use the three-point threat to contain the force to fight back, the Bucks are simply obsessed with air cuts and cannot extricate themselves. They frequently play screens and find opportunities for air cuts. air cut.

Even, they are a little too obsessed with air cuts, it seems that they are making air cuts for the sake of air cuts.

In stark contrast to their second-highest air cut frequency, the Bucks' three-pointer frequency last season was only in the lower reaches of the league.What's even more surprising is that their three-point shooting percentage is obviously very good, ranking among the top ten in the league, but they don't seem to want to shoot three-pointers. Ignore it, and want to cut empty.

This is Kidd's coaching policy. There is nothing wrong with it. Complicated tactics have complex benefits, but in the face of today's faster and faster pace, and the pick-and-roll split ball and three-pointers that are admired in this era, this tactical play is still a bit clumsy.

Of course, this may also depend on the player. Xu Xuan remembers that the Bucks of later generations are Antetokounmpo and four pitchers to shoot three-pointers. The rhythm is simple and clear.
