The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 87, The Fighter.

When the game was about to start, Xue Ding heard the system's notification tone.

"Dang, according to the judgment of the system, the strength of the host has been promoted to A-level, and the skill "fighter" has been comprehended.

After a summer of training, coupled with preseason + regular season training, Xue Ding was promoted at this time.

"When the Brawler skill is triggered, the host is colliding with the opponent, including pushing the opponent away when grabbing rebounds, rolling with the back, pushing without the ball, and interfering with shooting. The host is more capable than without this skill. Consumes the opponent's stamina, when the confrontation occurs in the above situations, the combatant can increase the stamina consumption of the opponent by 40%"

"The combatant?"

Divine skill, divine skill, this is absolutely divine skill!

Physical strength will directly affect the offensive and defensive ability by 90%-100%.

When the physical strength is insufficient, the ability is only 90% of the normal state.

As the game progresses, nba players reluctantly take shots due to the decline in physical fitness and the termination of offensive actions.

Insufficient physical fitness, the shooting efficiency has dropped drastically.

Xue Ding is very aware of this fighter's defying nature!
In the game, it is one of the skills that insiders must learn.

This is simply a bug in the game!

It is definitely not a BUG in reality, but the effect should be very strong.

Especially defense.

Xue Ding could already imagine how painful it would be for others to confront him.

However, as an outside line, Xue Ding would definitely not have as much physical contact with his opponent as an inside line.

Xue Ding is also thankful that his style of play is learned from Westbrook. If he learned from Harden, Xue Ding doubts whether the fighter can trigger it.
Harden wanted to touch the opponent, but the opponent probably avoided it.
And Westbrook's style of play is very unbeatable, and anyone with a strong body wants to fight against Westbrook.

Come on, now Xue Ding is not afraid of ranting.

Before the game started, Xue Ding closed his eyes, opened the system panel, and quickly looked at the changes in his attributes after he was promoted to A-level.

Xue Ding found that many of his attributes had improved slightly, and the 2K score of the overall evaluation was divided by 2 to reach 85 points.

Looking at the attributes in the system, Xue Ding is very excited. The training is still effective and the improvement is obvious.

With the increase in the number of professional training in the NBA, Xue Ding also believes that his body data should have improved compared to when he was drafted.

In addition to attributes, Xue Ding's height has grown taller, and his arm span and palms have also grown a bit.

20 years old is indeed still growing up.

Even though Xue Ding is 20, he still feels that he is still young and should be taller in the future.

Hey, it will be easier to grab rebounds then.

Xue Ding has become stronger in every aspect.

Xue Ding turned his eyes back to the court, and the halftime break was approaching.

He is looking forward to playing himself.

The referee blows his whistle.

The two sides changed sides and fought.

The second half of the game begins.

The Blazers' starters are Blake, Roy, Fernandez, Aldridge, and Przybilla.

The Lakers are, Farmar, Kobe, Artest, Odom, Bynum.

The Blazers kicked off from the center line.

Xue Ding quickly adjusted his mentality, carefully reading the flaws of the Lakers' lineup off the court.

It seems that Xue Ding feels that the point guard is the Lakers' shortcoming.

The No. 1 position is an eternal pain for the Lakers.

The West has first-class young point guards such as Deron Williams and Chris Paul, as well as experienced guys such as Parker and Billups.

Compared with them, the 35-year-old Fisher and the immature Jordan Farmar have rightfully become the Lakers' shortcomings.

But the Lakers have never been a team that relies on point guards.

The Lakers' point guard doesn't have to do much playmaking on the team, and their primary responsibility is more like bringing the ball downfield and serving as an ambush killer.

However, on the defensive end, if this position cannot directly withstand the impact of the first-class point guards, it will directly affect the team's confrontation record.

Xue Ding did a good job in the first quarter, using his powerful impact to beat Lao Yu enough, so the Blazers gained a certain advantage.

But in the second quarter, when they let Kobe control the ball and Xue Ding tried to challenge Kobe or Artest's defense, his efficiency would decrease.

It's not that Xue Ding can't fight Kobe and Artest.

It's that Kobe and Artest's defense will make Xue Ding make many ineffective moves, and his attack methods will become inefficient.

Xue Ding spends more physical energy and time to pass others or play singles, which will inevitably affect the overall fluency of the team.

Then Xue Ding's own mistakes increased, so it is inevitable that the team will be at a disadvantage.

Although Xue Ding was not solely responsible for falling behind in the second quarter, Xue Ding felt that he had to take the blame.

The main injury is not an excuse for Xue Ding to compromise and admit defeat.

Injuries are a time bomb for every team, like the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers are no exception.

There are also old injuries in the Lakers team. Kobe has been relaxing for a summer, but he has not performed finger surgery for a long time. His back and knee injuries are also hidden dangers, but there is no truce;

Gasol injured his fingers on his left hand before competing in the European Championships this year. After last year's Olympic Games, he dedicated his summer vacation to the national team again;
Bynum's knee has made him incomplete for two consecutive seasons; Odom also left an old back injury in last year's playoffs, and unlike other teams, the Lakers still need to worry about the head coach health.

Zen Master's summer physical examination report shows that he is competent for the coaching task of this season, but his health problems are the heart disease of the Lakers.

The Blazers are all major injuries, while the Lakers are minor injuries.

Everyone is half a catty.

In addition to the inside line, the Blazers have shortcomings on the front line.

Batum's absence puts Webster on top, but this guy's offense can't put enough pressure on Artest, often allowing Artest to help defend Roy and Xue Ding, which is very difficult.

The joining of Artest has become the biggest change for the Lakers in the new season.

Artest, who has more experience and more offensive methods, is indeed an important pawn on the way for the Lakers to defend their title.

On the court, the Lakers' defense suddenly became loose.

Roy scored consecutive 3-pointers, bringing the score back to 4 in an instant.

Roy's shots are all absolutely open.

No matter how the Zen master roared, the players on the Lakers field seemed a little careless.

At the same time, Xue Ding also discovered another potential hidden danger for the Lakers.

Point guard is the obvious flaw of the Lakers, so the mentality is another potential hidden danger of the Lakers.

But the mentality of the Lakers has been clearly exposed. Many games this season have given opponents an opportunity because of their own relaxation.

Almost many people can see that after winning the championship, Kobe and the Lakers players also had a long-cherished wish, and lost the sense of mission of redemption.

When it comes to mentality issues, we have to mention Odom, who has been criticized for being distracted in games in the past few years. In the contract year of last season, Odom performed well.

But in this summer vacation, Odom has been dragging on the issue of contract renewal, saying that he hopes to get a long-lasting and guaranteed contract, and after getting a fat contract, Odom is even more proud of his love, spending money to marry Hollywood celebrity Kohler -Kardashian.

Xue Ding is very clear that this is also the call for Odom to start to decline.

Kardashian, the best defensive player in the league, began to show his dominance in the NBA.

After Odom, there will be Harden
