The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 253 A Difficult Task

Xue Ding was completely immersed in self-improvement training, and did not feel the changes in his teammates and head coach's perception of him. The most important thing in Xue Ding's mind during this period was how to complete the assist task.

Time passed too quickly, and the second game started on March 3.

Wachovia's center of gravity arena can accommodate more than 2 people, and there are no empty seats.

The 76ers' current performance in the league is not very good. The best performance in history is the finals led by passing star Iverson.

It has been almost ten years. Although this result has not been broken, it is more in the first two rounds of the playoffs, but the overall team is young, and now it is led by Iguodala, known as the little AI, so this City fans are as enthusiastic as ever in their support.

Xue Ding felt the warm atmosphere as soon as he entered the court. It is indeed a team where the passing star left youth behind. The basketball culture in the whole city is very strong.

Such a warm atmosphere and such a difficult task in his heart made Xue Ding feel a little heavy.

Amidst the cheers of the fans in the audience, the preparations for the game began.

Trail Blazers starters: Xue Ding, Batum, Webster, Alder, Chandler,

76ers starters: Williams, Willie Green, Iguodala, Brand, Jason Smith.

The referee picked up the basketball, and Chandler easily passed the ball to Xue Ding. Although Smith is 213cm tall, his bounce is relatively weak.

Xue Ding holds the ball and controls his speed very slowly. The 76ers are a young team with an average age of only 25 years old. Facing such a young and energetic team, it is not advisable to fight for speed when they come up, let alone the opponents Without a center in the traditional sense, the overall speed is much faster.

As the hardest-working player of the 76ers, Willie Green came up to defend Xue Ding. The height difference between the two was 5cm, but Green looked stronger.

Xue Ding slowly dribbled the ball, Ade mentioned the high position, and the defensive Smith followed closely. The chance of passing the ball is not very good, and he must be able to get assists.

With the same thought, Xue Ding accelerated, threw Willie Green away, and went straight to the inside. Ade took away the defender, leaving space.

So facing Xue Ding who was going forward without slowing down at all, Smith quickly came to defend, not afraid of being bumped at all, and his attitude was very tough.

However, Xue Ding didn't take off at all. When Smith came to defend, Xue Ding directly threw the ball towards the basket, creating the illusion of a shot. Smith flew over to cover it, but it didn't help.

Chandler, who was open under the basket, leaped high and poured the ball vigorously into the basket with one hand.

The first assist was successfully obtained, Xue Ding raised his arms excitedly, and there were 19 more times, unconsciously chanting in his heart.

Williams holds the ball and is 188 tall. As the league's shortest combo guard, he averages 14 points and 5 assists per game. His biggest feature is his speed and his focus on breakthroughs.

As the team's main point guard, he has great power to handle the ball, so Williams directly chose to break through to open the 76ers' first attack.

William Moss's brisk body and continuous left and right changes of direction directly made Batum's center of gravity unbalanced. Before the others could react, he rushed to the inside line like a gust of wind.

Ade was stuck and couldn't move laterally to defend, but the inside line of the four big men also seemed very crowded.

William Moss wisely chose to throw the shot and hit it steadily.

In the first attack of the opening game, both sides played smoothly, 2:2, the two sides tied.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball for half the time, observing the positions of his teammates while dribbling. Although Green kept provoking Xue Ding with physical contact, they ignored him at all.

Ade pulled the man out again, Xue Ding passed Willie Green with one acceleration, without any hesitation, no matter what 213 Smith would do, he didn't think about it at all, rushed up, took off, and grabbed the ball with one hand , Desire to split the basket.

Smith flew forward without hesitation, without any worry that it would be a passive collision and a situation where he would be easily injured.

Xue Ding did not adjust any direction at all, but just when the two were about to collide, he easily passed the ball to Chandler who was vacant again under the basket. Buckle up.

Chandler is most familiar with this kind of alley-oops. With the partner of the queen bee Paul before, after a game, he averaged 8 alley-oops per game, which has become a scenic spot in the game.

Now this feeling seems to be back again, Chandler is very happy, not only high-fiving each other to celebrate after winning, but also hugging Xue Ding to express his excitement.

Xue Ding can understand this kind of mood very well, just like he has always been a brutal person, but for the sake of the overall sphere, he still wants to go further, and he has made adjustments and sacrifices in this regard.

The same is true for Chandler. When he was brought in by the Blazers, he was introduced for his defensive ability. Because the champion Lang Oden was scrapped for the season, the Blazers were in serious danger inside, but Chandler played before. But happy basketball suppresses the opponent through defense and makes the opponent make mistakes.

Then grab the rebound, and under the leadership of the queen bee, he breaks quickly and always uses alley-oops to solve problems easily.

But when it came to the Trail Blazers, they basically rarely played the role of the offensive end, but after all, offense is the easiest way to win favor, so there were two successful alley-oops at the beginning of the game, which made Chandler extremely excited.

Feeling the excitement and excitement of his teammates, Xue Ding also felt that the pressure in his heart was much less, and his obsession with completing the task was not as strong as it was at the beginning.

After halftime, Williams' style of play is still very single. As soon as the inside line opened up the space, he rushed in directly, making an emergency stop and making a jumper with ease.

Faced with this situation, Xue Ding was also helpless. The opponent's defenders would not cause him too much trouble, and now Batum could not restrain the opponent's main point guard.

Xue Ding knew that Batum's speed, bounce, and body were very good, but he just couldn't guard against him. Not to mention that the opponent was too fast, and his 47% mid-range shooting percentage also made Batum suffer.

The two sides maintained their own characteristics, and the score rose alternately. The time soon reached 6 minutes and 44 seconds, 12:16, and the Blazers were still 4 points behind.

But Xue Ding, the main point guard, was not in a hurry at all, and continued to suppress his speed.

After halftime, the top of the arc fell, and the distance from the three-point line was still far away. His teammates also stretched wide. To give the fans affection, Overlord Xue was about to single out.

In fact, Xue Ding got rid of Willie Green with continuous shaking, easily broke through the first line of defense, accelerated with one step, walked up with three steps, took off, gliding, and passed the ball to Chandler in the open space.
