Chapter 302 Different Types of Number 2
Xie Kai found that DeRozan's first step is not so fast. Compared with the No. 1 position in the league who has a quick first step like McGrady, his speed can only be said to be average, but this back-up footstep, he himself Think not as good. If the No. 2 player plays post-up, Kobe today and Jordan in the middle and late stages of his career are all very good. Amazing.

DeRozan almost doesn't shoot 3-pointers at all. In Xie Kai's view, as a No. 2 position, it is not a good performance.Even if James' breakthrough power is far stronger than shooting, he will take a certain amount of 3-pointers every season.It's not that these 3-pointers who are worse than 2-pointers are so cost-effective to shoot 3-pointers, but that they add an important skill to their arsenal.

A player who almost doesn't shoot 3-pointers at all will have to drop a lot in the low position, because the opponent only needs to defend your mid-range and breakthrough, so the ability to open up space will be much worse.If the opponent lets you go, if you can't punish, it will also affect your breakthrough and middle distance.

Of course, DeRozan chose a more cost-effective offensive method because his mid-range is far more reliable than 3-pointers. But in this league, 3-pointers are becoming more and more important. This is not the last century. In the 90s or early 2004s, pull-up jumpers became popular among wing swingmen.Since the NBA abolished the hand check in 3, not only have players who like to break through find the gospel, but the outside 3-point shooters have also ushered in a spring.In the past, defenders on the line could touch the opponent's torso with their hands, but now they can't touch it at all. This objectively makes it easier to shoot [-]-pointers, and the cost performance has gradually surpassed those with two-pointers.

Conley dribbles over and runs the offense at the top of the arc.

The inside line of the Raptors is very short, whether it is Amir Johnson or Joey Dorsey, the height is less than 208cm.But they are short, have tonnage, have no vertical height, but are wide enough, so the defensive area standing under the basket is not small.

The Grizzlies started as usual to find a touch for the black bear Randolph.

Randolph forced Amir Johnson inside, held high and hit the basket, and the two sides fought to a 2:2 tie.

Here DeRozan cuts out from the left wing, and Xie Kai is a little slower by half a beat. He still has a mid-range jumper after catching the ball!
The Raptors lead 4:2!

Xie Kai still blamed himself for the ball, because he didn't defend well, and the opponent was obviously the "little prince of CIC", but he still missed it.

On the Grizzlies side, Randolph is still going low to dig Amir Johnson. The latter is not a vegetarian, and he uses his stocky body to firmly withstand the opponent.

Randolph used his footsteps to turn around and enter the penalty area, but was slapped by the cunning Calderon!

DeRozan got the ball and advanced it by himself.

Xie Kai decided to increase his strength. DeRozan's excellent physical fitness is just an appearance. He is a technical style of play in his bones. He only makes sudden dunks occasionally. The main scoring methods are various mid-range and cut-ups. basket.

Xie Kai started sticking to DeRozan from outside the 3-point line, not giving him room to speed up and letting him go left.

"DeMar doesn't have a 3-point threat. Is it a bit of an overreaction for Kane to stick close to him from outside the 3-point line?" Kevin Harlan asked.

Steve Kerr explained: "I don't think Kane's purpose is not to be afraid of DeMar's 3-point shots. He should be to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm. This kind of defense also has two drawbacks. One is that it affects physical fitness. The requirements are relatively high, and the other is the need for excellent lateral speed, otherwise it is easy to be passed by."

DeRozan received Xie Kai's defense and caused a dead ball. He distributed the ball to Calderon.

Calderon forcibly kills the basket with the help of cover and points to Kleiza on the flank!

Kleiza received the ball, and the referee's whistle sounded at this time-stepped on the line and made a mistake!
"Kane's defense is working!" Kevin Harlan laughed.

Steve Kerr said with a smile: "Kane's extremely aggressive defense is still very effective against DeMar, who is not very experienced."

The Grizzlies attacked here, Randolph attracted double-teams inside, and scored Conley at the arc.

Conley then divided the right wing 45 degrees to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai catches the ball and makes a decisive 3-point shot - yes!
The Grizzlies immediately overtake!
The screams of the Grizzlies fans in the stands sounded immediately. The offensive idea of ​​this ball is very clear, from the inside out, and it is very enjoyable to watch.

"Isn't Demar too big for Kane on this ball?" Kevin Harlan said incredulously.

Steve Kerr smiled bitterly: "Maybe he thinks other shooting guards in the league don't like shooting 3-pointers as much as he does!"

The Raptors attacked, and Dorsey received a pass from Calderon inside and hit the iron hard-Xie Kai received the rebound and came over with the ball by himself.

Facing DeRozan, Xie Kai used the cover of his little sister-in-law at the top of the arc, and suddenly cut inside. Here, Amir Johnson assisted in defense, and he immediately distributed the ball to the black bear near the baseline.

The black bear doesn't even jump when catching the ball, it's easy!
The Grizzlies lead 7:4!

"Talk about Kane and DeMar at this stage, Steve." Kevin Harlan said.

Steve Kerr said: "It seems that although the two play in the same position, their styles of play are completely different. In terms of offensive value to their respective teams, Kane can finish and serve as an offensive starting point. Marr will be worse. But this is DeMar's second season, and Kane will play one more season, so the prerequisites for the comparison between the two are different."

For the Raptors, Kleiza hit a mid-range jumper and the point difference was narrowed to 1 point.

Conley slowly dribbles over.

Xie Kai moved without the ball in the frontcourt, Randolph asked for the ball in the low post, and Xiaojiasao responded in the high post.

The Grizzlies made a pass, and Randolph got the ball in the low post.

After Xie Kai made a fake move of cutting outward, he suddenly cut inward!

Randolph saw Xie Kai who made an empty cut in the middle and immediately gave the ball.

Xie Kai received the ball and directly forced it, without even dodging, and pressed in across Amir Johnson.

Amir Johnson was naturally not to be outdone, and gave him a slap in the face!
Xie Kai was hit on the left cheek, but still dunked the ball in!

"And one!" Kevin Harlan exclaimed.

"Amir's movement on this ball was a bit too big. The referee may look back at the video and consider whether to give a technical foul." Steve Kerr said.

Sure enough, the referee temporarily suspended the game, and then went to the technical platform to watch the technical replay.

Xie Kai's teammates gathered together, including the team doctor of course, to ask how he was feeling.

Xie Kai signaled that he was fine and all right, and then everyone began to wait for the referee's final penalty.

The Grizzlies fans in the stands booed, and a few Xiekai fans even swear at Amir Johnson in the arena.In their opinion, how could such a handsome face of their idol be beaten like this!
