Chapter 244 Settle Calderon First

Jose Calderon, this guy is the signing star of the No. [-] sports brand in China, and even made his own signature shoes for him.Calderon's logo is a villain, standing naturally, with two arms half-raised, and three fingers stretched out from both hands, forming two 'OK' shapes.

This reflects his characteristics from the side, and his three-point shooting ability is very strong.But don't forget, he's still a point guard!

Some people may ask, shouldn't Hu Lin face Maurice Peterson now?

When the Knicks are attacking, Hu is of course going to face Peterson, but when the Knicks are defending, Hu has to look at Calderon. After all, Crawford is taller than Hu, so of course he has to Went to watch Peterson.

Originally, Calderon has been suppressed by TJ Ford. International players generally have to adapt for a while when they first enter the NBA, and Calderon is the same.However, when TJ Ford was injured before, Calderon played quite well, which is why the Raptors have been able to maintain the pressure on the Knicks in terms of record.

But now Calderon has to return to the bench, and TJ Ford is back, but I don't know if the Spaniard will be unwilling.

The Spaniard's normal offensive method is naturally his three-pointer. He is a guy with very strong shooting ability, and he is a team player with a good overall view.Judging from the international competition, he can make the Spanish team explode with great strength.

However, facing Lao Hu today, Calderon seems to want to play something different.

The basketball turned around and returned to the Spaniard's hands.At this time, the Raptors' offense was somewhat stagnant. Although Bargnani came up, this guy prefers to cruise outside. At this time, the Raptors have a lot of outsiders. The fight was a little awkward.

Everyone else has nothing to do, so it's up to the point guard to solve the problem himself!

But it was very unexpected. Originally, Lao Hu thought that Calderon's normal choice should be to catch the ball and shoot it, but he didn't do it this time.Since people don't shoot, then focus on the opponent's movement.

Seeing that Hu Lin sank his weight and stared at him very intently, a smile appeared on Calderon's face. .

coming!

Maybe you don't want to make a fuss at all, because Calderon is just a simple dribble forward, it doesn't seem to be a breakthrough at all!

Of course, Lao Hu would not lose his position, and followed him very easily.

bang bang...

Suddenly the tempo changed and Calderon seemed to pick up the pace.This trick is very similar to the rhythm change that Lao Hu often uses, but it is only used while advancing. It seems that the power is not that great.

Anyway, Lao Hu was not broken through, he was still following his opponent closely, not letting go.

It changed again, the speed slowed down a bit, and Calderon seemed to be getting space by retreating so that he could make a shot.

Naturally, Lao Hu couldn't let his opponent go, so he immediately stepped forward and pressed hard.

With a bang, it changed again, and it seemed that the Spaniard was not going to shoot, but to break through.

When he moved again, Lao Hu obediently withdrew his feet back. This defensive action was not difficult, because Calderon's speed was not very fast.

boom!Seeing that Hu Lin's center of gravity moved again, Calderon changed again. This time his speed suddenly increased, and he was no longer moving slowly before.Moreover, he dribbled behind his back this time. After this action, Calderon immediately took the ball and shot it!

With a bang, two points hit!

"Ahaha!..." The Raptors fans gave the Spaniard enough enthusiasm.

"So that's what happened!" Although the ball was shot by the opponent, Lao Hu already had a plan in his mind.

Calderon also plays rhythm changes, but he is different from Lao Hu. The Spaniard's speed is not fast. It should be said that most of the movements are completed at a slow speed.I'm afraid this has something to do with his flexibility and physical fitness. He probably just can't play very fast.

Not only this ball, Lao Hu also watched Calderon play before. Although there are relatively few face-to-face faces, he can still have a more intuitive feeling.But in any case, the real threat of the Spaniard is his shooting.

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, Lao Hu gave the ball to Crawford very irresponsibly. The reason is very simple. Calderon is now facing Crawford. Generally speaking, the personal defense of international players The ability is relatively poor, and Crawford is a master of singles.

Sure enough, Crawford lived up to Hu's expectations. Crawford called the Spaniard's life easy, and finally completed a layup in front of the Italian champion. Of course, the referee also came to help, and Crawford succeeded It hit a 2 plus 1!

"It seems that facing the Raptors' lineup, we can definitely add some more individual singles!" After seeing this ball, Lao Hu immediately thought of the current crux of the Raptors.

The reason is simple, that is, the current lineup of the Raptors has too many international players. In addition to Bargnani and Calderon, there is veteran Anthony Parker...

Wait, wait, isn't Anthony Parker an American? !
That's right, but this guy has been playing in the European League before this season, which is basically the way international players play!

Three of the five are already international players, so it is hard to believe that they will not be affected by this lineup.

Therefore, using the personal abilities of Knicks players should get very good results on the offensive end.

However, the key now is to suppress Calderon!
Bargnani is not tough inside, even a slow center like Cato can defend him well.But he can't go out yet, because there are already a lot of outside players. Sam Mitchell used too many inside players in the starting lineup. They all need to rest, so he can only send a lot of outside players now. , and even let Joey Graham, who was originally a guard, play the inside position.

The current offensive and running positions of the players on the field are very chaotic, and no tactics can be seen at all. Therefore, this lineup change of the Raptors really means that it hurts the enemy a thousand and hurts itself.

In this way, Calderon will come out again to solve the problem.This is also helpless, Bargnani can't play, and Peterson is used to playing a supporting role, so it's okay to let him set up a shot. Anthony Parker and Calderon are not much different, so Calderon should do it himself.

coming!Calderon dribbled the ball again, still seemingly trying to break through Hulin's defense.

It started slowly again, but this time Lao Hu was not fooled, anyway, you just want to shoot.

Sure enough, this Calderon still wants to shoot, he is strong in this trick, why not use it!
It's just that this time the process was much simpler, probably because I saw that Lao Hu was always not fooled.

A simple cross step, retreat immediately, and then you are ready to shoot!

Lao Hu's response is to move forward vigorously. To be honest, it is actually more difficult to block outside players, because their skills are very good, and they always have to open up space before they can shoot.And one-on-one is even more difficult, unless the gap between the two sides is very large.

Therefore, Lao Hu didn't want to block the ball directly, but followed Lao Li's example, that is, he used his body to stick to the opponent as much as possible, then raised his hands high, and used the most standard defensive posture to interfere. Opponent's shot.

Bang!It worked!

Of course, Hu Lin didn't completely copy Lao Li's defense. Lao Hu added a little change, that is, when he took a step, he took a lot more.In this way, it is tantamount to forming a position with Calderon who goes deep between his legs with one foot.

Well...if it was between a man and a woman, it would be more ambiguous, but between a man and a man, it would be very creepy.

Of course, everyone, don't think too much, Lao Hu doesn't want to be gay yet.His defense is actually like Bruce Bowen's guy, that is, this guy's bad foot, after the opponent takes off and shoots, he puts his feet on the opponent's landing position, so that the opponent will immediately hit the ground. If you step on Bowen's foot, you will sprain your ankle.

That's right, it's the defensive trick that made Vince Carter almost unable to fly up and dunk. Of course, this trick is now banned by the NBA, so isn't Lao Hu afraid of being punished by the NBA?
Of course Hu Lin was also afraid, so his foot was simply a feint.

But this time, the impact on Calderon is not small. Shooting is such an instant thing. As long as he is psychologically disturbed at this instant, it will really have a great impact.After all, Calderon is a player of the Raptors. Even if he hasn't seen how Vince Carter was injured, he has heard of it. Therefore, Lao Hu's trick is really effective.

As soon as the goal was missed, the Knicks had their chance. Balkman grabbed the rebound and handed it to Lao Hu immediately.

The Knicks immediately played a skillful fast-break coordination. Lao Hu moved forward quickly, entered the three-point area, and handed the ball to Crawford, who was also advancing. Crawford immediately passed the ball after a fake attack Called back to Lao Hu, and then Lao Hu easily scored a layup.

"Shhhhhhhh..." Seeing the Knicks score so easily, the Raptors fans booed loudly, as if they were defending their sovereignty.

In the next game, Hu Lin led the Knicks' bench lineup and completely suppressed the Raptors' bench.The score opened up by the two sides in the first quarter was slowly drawn closer.

boom!Swish!After another fast break, the Knicks had already chased the score, 28 to 32. At this time, only 3 minutes and 20 seconds passed in the second quarter.

　Happy New Year everyone!Hehe, the fox is here to wish everyone a new year, and the year of the snake will bring great luck!
