Chapter 23 Wall's Speed
~

15:6, the point difference between the two teams narrowed to single digits.

Offensive and defensive transitions, Wall holds the ball and advances forward.As the leader of the team, Wall has put in too much effort during the Wizards' rise, and he is also used to declaring to others that Capital One Arena is his home court.

In the Wizards' double shot in the backcourt, Wall's ball-handling breakthrough is sharper, and Bill's mid-range shooting percentage is a little higher. In addition, Pierce is also a firepower.Therefore, even if Fang Xiaotian and Sanders are restrained with the inside twin towers, they still have plenty of firepower.

Wall prefers to fight alone at this time. Although his reputation in the league is not very famous, there is a sturdy breath in his heart.Throughout Wall's career, it is not uncommon to go it alone.

In this round, Wall didn't seem to be playing tricks on others. He held the ball and saw outside the three-point line on the right. After his teammates opened up the space, he singled out Knight.

Bang!Bang!Bang!
The impact of the basketball and the floor is very rhythmic, fast and powerful.Looking at Knight in front of him, I saw Wall took a step back, then accelerated in a change of direction, and the ball was switched from left to right, and Knight was left behind by him.

When Wall rushed inside, Fang Xiaotian was entangled with the Polish Hammer with his back turned to him.With just a 'swish', the ball was easily put into the basket by Wall.

This product is too fast!Fang Xiaotian was a little dumbfounded.Nima, he just turned around, and Wall rushed in from beyond the three-point line and put the ball into the basket. What did the defenders do?
Fang Xiaotian looked at Knight, "Brandon, why did you let him in? I'm not even ready!" His tone was full of helplessness. If he saw Wall rushing in, it might be a hot pot.

"Made, this guy's speed is too fast, the first step is scary. I just saw him take a step back, and the next moment he slipped away from me." Knight said. "You must pay attention to him later, otherwise he can make a mess of our inside by relying on his speed."

"Well, yes." Fang Xiaotian said.

Wall's lightning goal brought the difference between the two sides to double digits again, and the cheers of Capital One Arena resounded through the sky.Originally, there were not so many fans, but everyone wanted to come and see Fang Xiaotian, who dominated the top ten balls in the past two days, so the arena was full, and some local Chinese also walked into the arena to support Fang Xiaotian.

Seeing the ball in Sanders' hands, he didn't attack Hilario, but transferred the ball to Mayo on the outside because Mayo ran out of space.

Bang!
Mayo, who was open, didn't seize the opportunity. He missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the ball bounced high on the basket.

At the same time as the basketball bounced, several players on the inside were in a scuffle, and everyone wanted to get the rebound.Hilario, who is closest to the basket, jumps high, ready to catch the ball.

Sanders, who is facing up, has been stuck in his position and it is difficult to compete with him, so he didn't think much about it, thinking that there is no pressure to win the ball.However, the next moment, Hilario was dumbfounded. The basketball he hadn't touched was pinched away by a big yellow hand, and he leaped high like a background board.

"Little O, continue." Fang Xiaotian casually threw the ball to Mayo in the air, asking him to do it again.

In fact, Fang Xiaotian didn't need to shout, the moment the basketball hit the basket, Mayo was already ready to shoot again.He believed in Fang Xiaotian's ability, the method of getting coins from the backboard by casually bouncing was no joke.

The Wizards players never expected that Fang Xiaotian would get an offensive rebound in this situation and pass it directly to Mayo in the air.As Mayo's matchup, Bill is ready to run back and participate in the team's offense.

Therefore, Mayo took aim for a few seconds after receiving the pass from Fang Xiaotian before shooting the ball. Bill stood staring blankly from afar.

Swish!
Steadily hitting a three-pointer from the bottom corner, Mayo made a contribution. He narrowed the point difference between the two teams to 8 points.Now that the first quarter has not even passed half, 8 points is not a point difference that is difficult to catch up.

On the sidelines, Kidd nodded secretly while sitting on the bench.The step of replacing Fang Xiaotian by himself was indeed correct. With the Bucks' strong rebounding competitiveness, they would not be beaten in a mess by the Wizards; if they were replaced by Pachulia, the Wizards' attack might have succeeded.

Fang Xiaotian's rescue achieved results, Kidd was happy, but Wizards coach Randy Whitman was unhappy. "Ma Xin, pay attention to entangle the matchup, get stuck in the position, and don't let him take off wantonly."

Polish Hammer is still in a daze, he was startled by Fang Xiaotian's bounce just now.Nima, who can catch an offensive rebound between two people, and then throw it to his teammates in the air, such a powerful explosive power and waist and abdomen strength, made Gortat unable to recover for a while.

"Okay, coach." Gortat nodded to Whitman and ran to the bottom corner to serve.

As the game time passed bit by bit, Fang Xiaotian gradually adapted to the game, and he began to cooperate with his teammates.However, speed has become an important factor limiting his defensive ability to the basket.

Many times he is entangled in the matchup, or he is not locked in a good position, so he is easily attacked by Wizards players, um, others seize the opportunity to attack the inside.Not to mention the lack of explosive power, just because he just grabbed the offensive rebound with his bare hands has already proved this point, but the common problem of big men who are slow to turn around is fully demonstrated in Fang Xiaotian.

No, after Wall made an air cut and ran into the inside line, he accelerated in vain, and flew to the basket to complete the dunk, and Fang Xiaotian turned around at this time.

Fang Xiaotian didn't know what was going on, but the head coach Kidd understood that Fang Xiaotian's basic skills hadn't been mastered yet.If the basic skills are done well, then he can make conditioned reflexes on the court, instead of thinking about what to do next every moment.Without the formation of a conditioned reflex, you can't figure out the situation on the field just because you want to use your brain to memorize seeds, because the field changes rapidly and no one knows what will happen.

But these are things for the future, the basic skills need to be practiced hard, and there will be no results at all in a short while.

Fortunately, at the end of the first quarter, the point difference between the two teams has been evened out, 32:32, no one has the advantage.

The Bucks players smiled when they left the court, and they couldn't even think about being happy!Although the back-to-back games had some impact on them, and the shooting percentage was a little bit worse, it didn't matter. They took more shots and used quantity to make up for quality.

After Fang Xiaotian came on the court, the outside players enjoyed a lot.Fang Xiaotian still missed the first shot, and Fang Xiaotian also missed the second shot. Although this rookie who came off the bench did not catch offensive rebounds every time, he had no problems at all.

After a game, outside players basically have one or two more shots, which was unimaginable before.Therefore, their desire to build a good relationship with Fang Xiaotian became more and more intense. Everyone wanted to have a few more offensive opportunities when they played, so that a small increase in scoring would be no problem at all.
