The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 48, an unexpected three-pointer.

Xue Ding attached great importance to Parker today.

And Parker and Popovich also attach great importance to Xue Ding.

"Focus on his breakthrough."

"Pay attention to the inside and help defend the basket."

"His three-point shot can be put down."

This is the defensive plan that the Spurs made based on their understanding of Xue Ding.

Xue Ding's tactical status in the eyes of the Spurs is second only to Roy.

What Popovich was worried about was the confusion of the defensive line involved in Xue Ding's impact, not Xue Ding's scoring assists.

If the Spurs are in chaos, it will be difficult to win the game.

The Spurs know Xue Ding very well. After the trial training, Popovich wanted to win Xue Ding. Originally, this summer, the Spurs were the closest team to Xue Ding!The Blazers are completely cut off!
The Spurs secretly used the Thunder's No. 25 pick to select Xue Ding, and then traded after the selection, but they did not expect Xue Ding to be taken away by the Blazers at No. 22.

After the start of the regular season, Xue Ding's performance really shocked Popovich.

At the pre-match press conference.

Popovich said that the goal of the Spurs team today is to prevent Xue Ding from getting a 20+ triple-double in the game.

It is conceivable that Popovich regrets that Xue Ding did not join the Spurs.

Popovich already knew he made a serious mistake!
He underestimated Xue Ding's natural attractiveness.

The game is about to start.

The players came out of the locker room one by one.

on the field!

Popovich was jealous when he saw Xue Ding who was constantly stretching his muscles.

He also looked at McMillan with some resentment in his eyes.

Aldridge, Roy, Xue Ding, Oden.

Popovich knows that these four are good seedlings. As long as they are well cultivated, they will be the team of a dynasty!

Each one can be used as a tactical core.

In addition to the attention of the media and fans in this game, celebrities also expressed their views.

In an interview, some celebrities believed that Xue Ding's style of play was extremely dependent on his body. They believed that as a point guard, he should organize the offense honestly, instead of trying to steal the limelight from his teammates every round.

Moreover, the celebrities complained that the league is too friendly to Xue Ding now. If in the past, as soon as Xue Ding's style entered the inside line, he would be overturned immediately, and he still wanted to dunk?

Dream it.

The big men of that era would tell Xue Ding, the little man, that the guards should stay outside honestly, and the inside lanes belonged to them.

The remarks of the celebrities have aroused the echo of many fans on the Internet.

A bunch of fans who boasted about the ancient times also began to boast about Xue Ding's data, and began to criticize the strength of the league's defense.

The NBA is very particular about respecting celebrities, and generally young players seldom respond strongly to criticisms from celebrities.

Xue Ding also doesn't mind that celebrities keep bragging about how awesome their era is, how good their own era is, and so on.

In the future, Xue Ding himself may have the same virtue, not to mention what they said is quite right, the NBA is indeed getting softer and softer.
The development of modern basketball has already surpassed the imagination of fans and experts. In the future, centers will go to the outside to compete with guards for three-pointers. How can you argue?
On the field.

The Blazers sent Xue Ding, Roy, Batum, Aldridge, and Oden to start.

The Spurs sent Parker, Bogans, Jefferson, Duncan, Bonner's starting lineup.

With the sound of the electronic buzzer, the referee ran to the center holding the ball.

Xue Ding ushered in the first starting game of his career!

After the game started.

Xue Ding played conscientiously and was not in a hurry to steal the limelight. His role in starting today is to defend.

Most of the team's offensive tasks were left to Roy and Adelaide.

Roy and Ade really lived up to expectations.

At the Rose Garden Stadium, the two showed their good form!
The middle distance hits consecutively and is full of lethality.

On the court, the Blazers have the ball.

"Roy holds the ball on the right side of the free throw line. His continuous tentative moves are very proficient. Jefferson, who is defending him, dare not act rashly. Roy has scored three consecutive singles with the ball today, and Xue Got rid of Parker in the corner, but, Xue, what are you doing outside the corner three point line? You shot 3% of the three pointers in the season, Parker is not worried about you shooting there, hey, Roy pass Ball, who is it for?"

"Xue!!"

Xue Ding's running position is very coquettish.

Parker, like his teammates, was very loose against Xue Ding's three-pointers, and most of them were just pretending.

Xue Ding, who fell to the bottom corner, did not hesitate when receiving the pass from Roy!
Xue Ding's calf tensed.

Bounce quickly.

Hold the ball in front of your head with both hands, and before Parker comes over, take a quick shot and push it out with your fingers.

Every three-point shot by Xue Ding will cause waves of cheers from the fans! !
"This rookie has changed his three-point shooting posture."

"The shooting speed is so fast!"

"Just by looking at the posture, you know you will enter!"

The fans were discussing enthusiastically.

We all know that Xue Ding is inaccurate for three-pointers, so the home fans always encourage such shots.

The extremely fast shooting speed made Xue Ding almost open. If he was open, his three-point shooting percentage was not as simple as 22%.

"Shh."

12:15.

Xue Ding completed his first shot in the first half of the game.

This is a three-pointer that he is not good at!
Xue Ding chose Martin's posture bag mainly because of his speed. This is also the reason why he gave up other shooting bags. What he pursues is the efficiency of scoring!
Xue Ding's running speed is easy to get out of the gap, and with Roy's presence, he can wait for the ball with peace of mind every time there is a gap.

Roy won't pass the ball if he sees an open spot.

Xue Ding's three-pointer surprised both Popovich and Parker.

He can shoot.

So confident.

If you don't stick to it now, he will easily complete the shot.

But if it is too tight, this kid's explosive power can definitely pass the defender one-on-one!
Difficult to guard against.

Spurs attack!

Parker dribbles over half court!
Parker is only 188 tall, and Xue Ding's body interferes a lot with him.

It is difficult for Parker to get past Xue Ding one-on-one without the help of a pick-and-roll.

Parker raised his hand for cover.

Enter Duncan.

Parker starts.

Xue Ding, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately turned around, circled around Duncan's body, and stared at Parker like a poisonous snake!
After Parker passed Xue Ding, he immediately accelerated a second time, spun around the top of the three-second zone, glanced at Xue Ding's position behind him, which was a little far away from him, and then avoided Auden's interference.

Jump up the bar and raise your hands for a layup!
"Snapped"

Xue Ding mercilessly blocked Parker!
"what!"

Parker didn't know how Xue Ding blocked the shot, but Popovich could see it clearly.

Parker had already avoided Auden and got stuck in Xue Ding's position, but Xue Ding did what he couldn't do.

His bullet speed is extremely fast!
Jump right after Parker jumps first!

Then relying on height and wingspan to make up for the gap in distance.

The ball after the block was controlled by Adelaide!
Ade quickly gave it to Roy, and then ran forward desperately.

"Oh oh oh!"

Roy and Adelaide launched a fast break!
Duncan and Bonner retreat quickly.

They were in a better position and did not give Roy a chance to attack directly. Seeing this, Roy could only calm down and wait for his teammates to come up.

After Xue Ding blocked the shot, he also chased him from the back!

Parker followed Xue Ding and returned to defense.

The 45-degree corner on the left of Xue Ding.

Roy gives the ball over.

Xue Ding saw Parker behind him.

Xue Ding caught the ball and made a gesture to shoot, Parker swooped in, Xue Ding then made another feint!
He completely shook off Parker who was passively chasing behind him!
It's still that kind of three-pointer! ! !
The shot is very hasty!

But that's the empty seat!

12:18.

Xue Ding's consecutive three-pointers made Popovich unbearable and called the Spurs' first timeout!
