Guoshu basketball

Chapter 66
After the opening, Li Du faced Kidd as requested by the Zen master.Like all previous games, Kidd was still unable to get past Li Du in one-on-one.

But the most terrifying thing about Kidd is not his offense. Throughout his career, Kidd rarely scored more than 20 games, but he launched a fast break after assists and rebounds from the backcourt, and in the fast break Seemingly simple, but in fact exquisite passing is his trick to become the top guard in today's NBA!

Kidd was very smart. He had watched Li Du's game video before, and he knew how strong Li Du's defensive ability was.

Giving up on passing Li Du doesn't mean that Kidd is restricted in this game!

In the first 7 minutes of the first quarter, Kidd scored 4 assists!His passing is very special, not as fancy as "White Chocolate" Williams, and not as chasing after the wind as Nash. His movements are unpretentious, and even amateurs who are new to basketball can easily imitate them. His passing speed is not too fast, and often gives people a feeling that they can be broken by tentacle. However, every time he passes, he can drive the rhythm of his teammates, and he can pass to the opponent in the shortest time every time. The weakest point of defense!
Under the leadership of Kidd, Carter and Jefferson broke out in the first quarter.Carter made 5 of 4 shots and scored 10 points, one of which was a one-handed slam dunk from Kwame Brown in the air, which shocked everyone!Jefferson also contributed 8 points, in addition to 3 rebounds.

In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by 24 points 33 to 9!And this is the result of Kobe seeing that the momentum was wrong, he fired all his firepower in the first quarter, and scored 14 points by himself.If not, I'm afraid the Lakers will fall behind by more than 10 points in the first quarter!
Faced with Kidd's exquisite pass, Li Du had no way to do anything. He could prevent Kidd from breaking through, and even seriously interfered with Kidd's shooting, but Kidd didn't attack at all. He always took Li Du away. The inside line is very far, and then through his rich experience and passing the ball, he can penetrate the entire Lakers defense in one go!
The weakness of the Lakers' interior defense was fully exposed in this game.At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Du and Kobe sat on the sidelines to rest. Li Du stared blankly at where Kidd was in a daze. Seeing Li Du like this, Kobe thought he was hit by Kidd. He patted him and said, "Lee, don't think too much, if Kidd is so easy to be defended, he won't be the great core guard who brought the team to the finals by himself!"

Li Du nodded, and said seriously: "Senior Kidd is indeed very powerful. He can drive the entire team with his passing. There are too few such people. Steve Nash is also known for his passing, but his passing The threat of the ball is mainly in the pick-and-roll and fast break, Kidd is different, he seems to be able to adapt to any style of play and tactical system!"

As he said that, Li Du murmured, "Seize the opponent's defensive flaws, and use the pass to give a fatal blow. In Senior Kidd, I seem to see another possibility for myself!"

After playing in the second quarter, Kidd suddenly discovered that Li Du's defensive strategy had changed!Without a sense of oppression, he would not be allowed to break through easily, but Li Du did not stop Kidd from moving the ball to the inside or other places, but just followed him step by step.

Of course, once Kidd wants to attack, Li Du's reaction will be very fast, and he can block between himself and the basket in an instant!Kidd had a feeling that if he wanted to break through against Li Du, as long as he didn't make a shot, Li Du wouldn't stop him either!

"What does this kid want to do?" Kidd was puzzled by Li Du's defensive strategy.

Just when Kidd was puzzled, Carter said to Kidd when he returned to defense: "Jason, be careful, I think that Chinese kid has bad intentions! In the first quarter, he pressed you every step of the way. If it weren't for you Because he can't prevent your pass, I'm afraid he will let you enjoy the same treatment as Steve Nash! Now, I suspect that he wants to see through your pass route and cut your pass!"

"Really?" Kidd smiled indifferently. If Li Du really wanted to cut off his pass, he had made a mistake.Kidd has been in the league for so many years, relying on two points: one is the exquisite, deadly pass delivered with his own unique rhythm.The other is his strong physical strength, but the defender's body has no less strength than the center forward!In the transposition defense, even against the inside players, there is no disadvantage at all!

Break Kidd's pass?Li Du is not the first person to think so, nor will he be the last, but after so many years, who can stop his pass?

Observing secretly, Kidd found that Li Du really seemed to want to observe himself carefully, and then steal the ball!Unconsciously showing a sneer, Kidd yelled in his heart: "Fantastic rookie, do you want to stop my pass? Then let you try!"

Thinking this way in his heart, Kidd is more sharp on the offensive end, and sometimes even when he pulls Li Du close to the center line, he waits for Li Du to defend and then passes the key ball!
"So it is!" Li Du looked back and saw that even near the center line, Kidd still passed the ball accurately and rhythmically to Carter who made an air cut into the inside line. After receiving the ball in the air, Carter dunked directly!The sky, that's Carter's territory!
The Lakers were already 13 points behind the Nets, but Li Du didn't seem to care at all. He was near the center line, and it was easier for him to see the entire Lakers' defensive formation and the Nets' offensive strategy.

He muttered in a low voice: "Separate me and the boss, two players with excellent defensive ability, and then Carter cut through the screen and staggered the position. When there was a loophole in the defense, Senior Kidd's pass The ball was passed to Carter at that time! Sure enough, this kind of pass is very powerful, and the passer needs to see the intention of his teammates and the opponent's defensive mistakes in advance before launching an attack!"

Raising his head, Li Du looked at Kidd, and sincerely praised: "Senior, you are really strong, I am not as good as you!"

Kidd didn't understand what Li Du meant, so he stepped back and said perfunctorily, "Thank you for the compliment, you're not bad."

In fact, not only Kidd and Carter, but even the Lakers teammates misunderstood Li Du.For a long time, Li Du's impression on the field is that he is mainly defensive. Just like what he said when he first joined the team, for him, when he is defending, he can attack freely!
So if Li Du is thinking about something, everyone's first reaction is that this guy is thinking about how to better defend the opponent!
But this time, Li Du didn't think about defense. His defense had reached the limit of what he could do so far. Unless there was another major breakthrough in boxing, his defense could only be like this.

It's true that Li Du was observing Kidd carefully, but he hoped that through his careful observation of Kidd, he could learn Kidd's seemingly simple but deadly pass that can drive the team's offense!
