The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 276 Affecting the Style of the Whole Team

Xue Ding's sudden three-pointer made Griffin a little unexpected. In such a backward state, such a long-distance three-pointer can be said to be a very unreasonable style of play.

But Xue Ding didn't even think about whether to enter or not. He just felt that since the opponent had set up a defensive trap and waited for him, he had to make a response.

The breakthrough is to tell the other party that in the face of your traps, I can come and go freely.

I made a breakthrough, and the result was a three-pointer, also to tell the defenders that you have strengthened the strength of the defensive trap, and I didn't get caught at all.

A certain aspect of the game is to master the rhythm, which requires reading ability. Obviously, after more than two months of competition and leading the team during this period, Xue Ding's ability to read the game and master the rhythm has improved a lot.

Since then, the Clippers' defense has been very uncomfortable, especially Griffin, and the defensive pressure has increased instantly.

Because Xue Ding's ultra-long three-point distance directly expands the range of defense. Once the range is expanded, the space is expanded. Whether to mark or place a suitable distance is a difficult problem for Griffin up.

Defense up, there is enough space, Xue Ding will definitely break through directly, put a suitable distance, and he will immediately hit a three-pointer.

Although Xue Ding had such a super long-range shot before, from the beginning of the unknown to the great success, all teams focused on Xue Ding. From the analysis of all his game videos, in fact Xue Ding was in the game. The probability of long-range three-pointers in the Super League is still very low on average.

For example, in a previous game, he took 10 shots and made 8 hits. The hit rate was very high and it was scary, but the next time Xue Ding made a shot like this, it would be after seven or eight games, so in the end basically every one of them would be successful. A conclusion was drawn, that is, Xue Ding's ultra-perverted three-pointer is like a grand prize, and whoever meets it will be unlucky.

Therefore, basically no team pays too much attention to Xue Ding's ultra-long-range three-pointer. After all, the league has not yet entered the era of small balls.

Griffin is no exception. He doesn't think Xue Ding can make a shot every time, so he still adopts an appropriate distance on defense to prevent Xue Dingtu from breaking through and causing damage to the inside.

When Xue Ding saw Griffin's defensive position, he understood his defensive intentions, so he just dribbled the ball, made a breakthrough movement, and shot directly as soon as there was room for a shot.

For three rounds in a row, Xue Ding succeeded easily and single-handedly beat the Clippers 9:0 with a score of 63:60, taking the lead again.

The Clippers coach Dunleavy saw the situation and quickly asked for a timeout. Xue Ding couldn't play too high. Since the previous defensive strategy didn't work, he had to adjust it immediately.

The adjustment strategy is also very simple, directly use Rathall Butler, who is taller and longer but faster, to defend Xue Ding.

A pair of Xue Ding felt the opponent's defensive strategy. He replaced Griffin and replaced Butler, so that the defender should not confront him, but to harass him closely to prevent three-pointers. As for himself, he wanted to break through the penalty area. Hold it off as long as possible.

Xue Ding laughed a little in his heart. After this fight, the opponent's defense against him returned to the strategy of the first half, and he also admired the rich experience of the opponent's old coach.

But no matter how the opponent adjusts, Xue Ding feels that his mentality is completely open, that is to play his own style, and play according to the style he is best at. As long as he can live up to this point, his teammates will also be alive.

During this period of time, I lead the team to attack. Considering the overall situation, I always think about how to link up with my teammates. I think about whether I want to focus on the offense or put the full-scale offense in the first place. I have never made a conclusion in my mind. I feel tired from winning.

Today, it can be said that the home court atmosphere ranks among the top three arenas. The momentum is suppressed, and it is also suppressed by the opponent's continuous insulting attacks. I didn't think so much at all. For the sake of my brothers, I directly returned to my original playing style. It turned out to work surprisingly well.

Only then did Xue Ding realize that he joined the Trail Blazers and played comfortably all the time. The fundamental reason for the team's better record is not because of his own skills and top-notch physical fitness, but the key lies in his explosive playing style.

Skills and physical fitness can only guarantee that you can achieve good results, but if your style can infect and drive people, it will be easy to mobilize the passion and enthusiasm of the whole team.

After realizing this point, Xue Ding felt light all over his body, like a person with great strength who has found a satisfactory inner strength method.

Xue Ding felt that his whole body was full of strength, as if he had returned to the state of passion when he first played on the field.

Whether you and I confront each other, or harass and defend, I decide to attack.

Xue Ding quickly dribbled the ball, accelerated with one step and passed Butler, who was only harassing the defense, and rushed to the inside. The second defensive line built by Griffin directly made up.

Xue Ding slowed down, and started playing singles with his back. The fans on the scene booed him. He felt that Xue Ding was very arrogant. He who was not dominant in height and weight wanted to single-handedly fight his own Geli Fen. No need to say anything, just booed give up.

Holding the ball in his left hand, he kept hitting Griffin with the rhythm of his dribble. At the same time, he also paid attention to the defenders around him. Got it, the Clippers are full of confidence in their teammates.

Xue Ding still felt the difference in weight between the two when playing with his back, and he couldn't fully push away, but he didn't want to play inside, he needed to push the opponent to a deeper position. The space is enough.

Continue to speed up the pace, hit Griffin behind him, after the last hit, quickly turn left, widen the distance between the two, shoot quickly, hit steadily, although Griffin made up in time, but did not cause any damage. Impact.

The teammates walked over to celebrate with high fives in a very tacit understanding, all of them had happy and relaxed smiles on their faces.

Griffin's two strong deductions before brought too much pressure on everyone's hearts, and now Xue Ding repeatedly pushes them back. This feeling is really cool.

As soon as Xue Ding became stronger, his teammates also became stronger unconsciously, and the defense also became tougher and more active.
