NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 397. Chapter 398. Exercising
Randolph stood at the corner and took the ball, facing the defender who was the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi who was put on the starting lineup by Liu Rui in this game.

Roughly staring at Randolph in front of him, the muscles of the whole body are tense, ensuring that he can keep up with Randolph's rhythm immediately under any circumstances.

After all, although Randolph has vaguely carried the title of data brush now, but he does have two brushes in one-on-one singles against the basket.

Although the hit rate is not high, but can always find the right time to shoot, strictly speaking, this can be regarded as an ability.

In addition, the main purpose of this game is to give Da Zhi playing time and use Randolph as his sharpening stone.

Although he may suffer some losses in the confrontation, since he already has this idea, Liu Rui will naturally not double-team Randolph.

Therefore, facing Randolph with the ball, Wang Zhizhi was very cautious. Apart from the hard-earned starting position, he also did not want to disappoint Liu Rui's trust in him.

Wang Zhizhi knew better than anyone else that he was able to take the starting position because of Liu Rui's cultivation of him.

Otherwise, with his current level, it would be a luxury to enter the rotation in any team.

Facing the general situation, Randolph pretended to falter twice, but although Wang Zhizhi was a little nervous, he didn't falter.

Taking a cursory look at Wang Zhizhi's figure in front of him, Randolph planned to try his best to hit the basket with a post-up single.

In the competition of strength between the two sides, Wang Zhizhi was undoubtedly at a disadvantage, but he held his breath and tried his best to confront Randolph head-on.

It can also be seen from this that the training of the Development League during that period also brought a lot of benefits to the general.

If it was the previous Wang Zhizhi, I'm afraid he would be smashed to pieces in these two blows.

Seeing that the opportunity was almost too close at this time, Randolph then chose a turnaround jumper after turning around.

Because Randolph's shooting range is within the three-point line, this kind of turnaround jumper behind the back is even Randolph's forte.

sigh~
0:2
Due to holding his breath all the time, Wang Zhizhi's face turned red at this time, and the clearly visible veins on his neck bulged.

However, seeing that the ball was still scored by Randolph, he sighed in frustration.

Even though he had tried his best to defend Randolph on the court, he still scored the goal, which made Wang Zhizhi feel somewhat frustrated.

However, Liu Rui on the sidelines did not have any dissatisfaction. He even stood up and clapped his hands non-stop, and shouted to Wang Zhizhi on the field:

"Not bad, not bad, this ball defense is good, and he has been maintaining it like this. As long as he doesn't lose his position, his touch can't be so soft all the time."

Hearing Liu Rui's words on the sidelines, Wang Zhizhi looked up in surprise, and saw that Liu Rui not only didn't feel dissatisfied with him, but also actively encouraged him.

It also caused a warm current to flow in Wang Zhizhi's heart. At this time, he secretly vowed in his heart that he must try his best to play well in every next game, so as not to embarrass Liu Rui.

Although Liu Rui stood up mainly to encourage the general, but as he said, on the defensive end, Wang Zhizhi did not miss Randolph's defense in any way. This ball was just a lack of strength.

Although this was not a successful defense, it was definitely not a failure either. At least in Liu Rui's view, Wang Zhizhi's progress on the defensive end was already very obvious.

Although it is not enough to gain a foothold in the NBA's inside line, but the skyscrapers are built on the ground, not to mention Wang Zhizhi's talent is limited, so Liu Rui has always been patient with him.

Compared with the defensive end, the Bobcats have to play with ease on the offensive end.

The Blazers' defense can be said to be horrible, full of loopholes.

Among the five players on the field, except for the starting center Pulzbila, several other players don't know what defense is at all.

Or he has a heart that wants to actively defend, but Naihe has not grown a body that can participate in active defense.

If it's just like this, it's not too bad. The bad thing is that Randolph obviously has a body that can participate in defense, but he doesn't have a heart that wants to defend.

After all, before the appearance of nightclub Deng, the person who has been called defensive eyes is by no means a vain name.

Therefore, facing the Blazers' defense, the Bobcats only need to pass a few simple off-ball screens to create many offensive opportunities.

And due to his poor personal defensive ability, McMillan also arranged a lot of defensive tactics on the field.

I want to make up for the lack of personal defense as much as possible through the player's ability to move on the field.

This defensive style is very common and not a big deal.

When someone in the team has extremely poor defensive ability, but has to use it on the offensive end, many teams will use this defensive method for rotation.

Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers encountered the Bobcats in this game, a team that can shoot outside the three-point line except for the center.

And still very much like the team that ends the offense outside the three-point line, and the shooting rate is also considered outrageous.

This kind of continuous defense on the defensive end is bound to lead to imperceptible leaks.

And only need a little open opportunity, Bobcats players can quickly complete the shot outside the three-point line.

After all, this is one of the places where the entire Bobcats team focuses on practice during the offseason.

Therefore, under this offensive method, Wang Zhizhi also got a lot of offensive opportunities in the first quarter.

His task on the offensive end is very simple, that is, to stand outside the three-point line and move the Blazers inside out of the penalty area as much as possible, and then complete the open shots after his teammates score. This is his entire task on the court.

Although it sounds relatively simple, it is generally as long as these tasks can be completed perfectly and the three-point shooting rate can be guaranteed.

Then Liu Rui can guarantee that even if he leaves the Bobcats, he can get a pretty good contract in the league.

Because the NBA, as the top basketball stage in the world, has never lacked talents with multiple offensive methods.

All that's missing here are hard-working players who can maximize a field.

Just like defensive players can gain a foothold in the NBA only through defense, 3D players can become the main force of the team through defense and three-pointers.

The same is true for Wang Zhizhi. The role of an inside fortress is considered a relatively lucrative occupation, whether it is in the previous life or the later life.

So this is also the main reason why Liu Rui was able to train Wang Zhizhi patiently instead of Battelle.

In the absence of unexpected circumstances, at the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats also succeeded at home with:
34:21
It directly led the Blazers by 13 points and ended the first quarter.

Although the Bobcats' offensive firepower is relatively strong, but the Bobcats scored 34 points in a single quarter, it can be seen how bad the Blazers are on the defensive end.

And Wang Zhizhi's performance in the first quarter was very good.

首节大致一共出场了8分46秒，个人5投3中，三分球4中2，单节就拿下了8分2篮板1助攻的抢眼数据。

Although this has a lot to do with the fact that the Blazers are really poor on the defensive end, and the teammates passed the ball non-stop, which also created a lot of open shooting opportunities for Wang Zhizhi.

But in any case, being able to grasp this kind of open shooting opportunity is also an ability in itself.

How many people face the opportunity, but in the end they can only hear the sound of Bangbang's iron strike.

Therefore, being able to perform like this in the first quarter not only satisfied the Chinese fans in front of the TV, but even Liu Rui who was sitting off the field was also very satisfied.

However, compared to his roughly offensive contribution, Liu Rui has a more thorough view from the sidelines.

Although Wang Zhizhi has also made great progress on the offensive end, in Liu Rui's opinion, this is at best more stable than before.

At the very least, when faced with an opportunity, he can shoot without shaking his hands and without nervousness.

If that's all, it won't make Liu Rui feel satisfied.

What really surprised Liu Rui was Wang Zhizhi's performance on the defensive end.

Facing Randolph, although Wang Zhizhi has always been at a disadvantage, he still gritted his teeth and persisted after playing for up to 8 minutes.

In every competition of strength, even if he fell into a disadvantage, there was no physical exhaustion.

This is what really makes Liu Rui feel satisfied. After all, no matter how good the offensive end is, if the defensive end is a colander that is targeted everywhere, it will definitely be more and more marginalized by the team.

Therefore, only when Wang Zhizhi's performance on the defensive end is raised to the average level of the league as much as possible, then his stability on the offensive end can enter the eyes of the head coach.

Fortunately, after Wang Zhizhi came back from the Development League, although his overall progress is not obvious, he has been greatly improved on the defensive end.

If he can keep exercising at this pace, within two years, Liu Rui is confident that everyone will see a new general...
