Guoshu basketball

Chapter 67
At the end of halftime, Li Du had to admit that Kidd's way of passing the ball was too difficult!
Kidd's movements seem simple, there is no exaggerated pass behind the back, and there is no breakthrough to attract the opponent's defense, and then pass to the open position suddenly like a ghost. Several times, Kidd didn't even move his feet when passing the ball!But with every pass, it hits the opponent's weakest defense precisely, or directly on the defensive loopholes.

This requires not only superb passing skills, but also the need to be familiar with the characteristics and shortcomings of every teammate and opponent on the entire field. Precisely judge in advance where is the defensive strength and where is the defensive weakness!

This is the control of the entire court, and even the entire game!

Li Du came to a realization: "No wonder no one has been able to imitate Kidd for so many years, let alone block his pass! Compared with him, I have so much to learn!"

When Li Du was feeling emotional, Kidd was baffled by him on the Nets side.Throughout the first half, besides not allowing Kidd to score, Li Du didn't even stop him from rushing inside!Such a defensive strategy may be uncomfortable for many offensive-oriented defenders today, but for a master of pass control like Kidd, there is no pressure at all!

In Kidd's view, today's Li Du is very abnormal!Kidd has watched Li Du's previous games, and even analyzed them with the coaching staff. It is absolutely not an exaggeration for Li Du to be called "a nightmare for opposing players"!

But today, Li Du's defense against Kidd seemed to be very good. Kidd did not score in the entire first half, and he rarely even made a phone call. To score?
Kidd is a very traditional point guard who puts organizing the team's offense first. His desire to assist is far greater than his desire to attack.In many cases, Kidd's score is not high, usually around [-] at most, so defending his score is basically irrelevant to the entire Nets.

In fact, from another perspective, players like Kidd are the most difficult to defend among all players!Anyone who has experience in playing ball knows that it is not difficult to prevent a person from scoring, but it is too difficult to prevent a person from passing the ball, or even to stop the pass!

It is extremely difficult to break the pass of ordinary people, let alone a pass master like Kidd.However, this pass master basically doesn't need to attack by himself, and with just the right pass, he can drive the entire team to run smoothly!
A top player who only passes the ball and does not attack, is almost impossible to defend!

The atmosphere in the Lakers locker room was not good. Before the game, Coe hoped that with Li Du's desperate defense, Kidd would be blocked and the Nets' offense would come to a standstill.For any team, as long as the offense stagnates, it will inevitably bring about weaknesses in defense. The transition between offense and defense in basketball is extremely fast. If the offense is not good, the defense may not be timely!

As for Li Du's defense against Kidd, it can't be said that it was not good. In the first half, Kidd only took two shots, and Li Du seriously interfered with both of them, and finally failed to score.Moreover, Li Du did not foul, and Kidd had no free throw opportunities. After the entire first half, Kidd did not score a point!
Although Kidd didn't score a point, he got 9 assists!He got 9 assists in the first half alone. If the whole game is over, maybe how many assists he will get!With Kidd's assist ability, it is not impossible to get 20 assists!

Driven by Kidd, the Nets ended the first half with a huge lead of 53 to 41 and 12 points.The whole team of the Nets is blossoming. Carter scored 15 points in the first half, and Jefferson scored 12 points. Many of their high scores are closely related to Kidd. This is also the reason why the Nets can lead the Lakers by as many as 12 points in the away game s reason.

The Lakers were not very good. Kobe also scored 15 points in the first half, but the others basically had no contribution. As the second scoring point, Odom only scored 7 points, and Li Du only got one shot. Just hit a three-pointer.

Li Du's mind isn't on the score right now, he's still recalling the terrifying way of passing the ball when he saw the opportunity and controlled the overall situation when he was playing against Kidd.He sat in his seat, lowered his head, frowned slightly, and kept muttering something in a low voice.

"Li, Li!" Kobe called Li Du twice, but Li Du didn't hear him. Kobe walked up to Li Du, patted him vigorously, and asked, "Li, what's wrong with you today? Even calling you twice No answer!"

"Oh, boss." Li Du looked up at Kobe and responded, "It's nothing, I was just thinking that Kidd's way of passing the ball to drive the entire team is too powerful, if I can be like him alright."

Seeing that Li Du didn't show mercy just because he liked Kidd, Kobe didn't say much. Fisher smiled and said, "Li, do you think Kidd is so easy to imitate? He grew up on the street court. His pass looks simple, but it is actually carefully calculated! Over the years, many people have studied and imitated him, but no one has ever succeeded!"

Seeing that everyone else agreed and looked thoughtful, Li Du took a deep breath and said seriously: "It is true that Senior Kidd controls the game with passing. I can't do such a powerful performance for the time being, but our Chinese There is a saying that the emperor pays off! I believe that as I fight him more and more times, I will learn it sooner or later! And..."

Li Du smiled proudly and said, "It's not that I haven't learned anything. At least, I understand how to pass the ball to the teammate who is most likely to score when there is a loophole in the opponent's defense!"

"Huh?" Kobe and Zen Master's eyes lit up when they heard that, and Kobe immediately asked, "Li, are you sure you can see the opponent's defensive loopholes and pass the ball at that moment?"

Following Kobe's question, Zen Master's eyes were also fixed on Li Du.So Li Du solemnly replied: "Boss, coach, don't worry, I can see the loopholes in the defense and pass the ball through! I am fully sure of this!"

The Zen master kept smiling and said: "Li, you have a talent that even Kobe is jealous of, but no matter who it is, it is impossible for anyone to learn to see through the defensive loopholes in such a short period of time, let alone pass the ball at that moment." The pass has passed. You know, the basketball court changes extremely fast, and opportunities are fleeting! Many offensive opportunities need to be predicted in advance! Without rich game experience, it is almost impossible to do this!"

The Chan Master’s words are denying Li Du’s point of view, but what he said is more about asking Li Du, why can he do it?
