vertical and horizontal point guard

Chapter 38
Chapter 38 Destruction

Although the triangle offense is a championship tactic, it has never been valued in the American basketball circle. Even though Phil Jackson is known as the most successful head coach in the NBA, he has not been recognized by the authoritative American basketball circle with this tactic.

This is due to its essence, and its power depends more on the star's own singles ability.

Now this tactic is used by the Timberwolves on the Trail Blazers, but it is surprisingly easy to use, one hit is accurate!

Once this tactic was used, the Timberwolves' scoring became stable and efficient. On the other hand, the Blazers' offensive touch began to cool down. Not only was the score overtaken by the Timberwolves, but the point difference continued to widen.

McMillan called a timeout, stood with his hips on the sidelines and stared at the group of young disciples, but the thinking in his mind was running rapidly, looking for countermeasures to deal with the triangle tactics.

The Timberwolves' triangle tactics mainly consist of a strong side triangle consisting of one point on the inside and two points on the outside. In the inside, Al Jefferson and Kevin Love are both tall and strong low-post players with good offensive capabilities. Their passing skills are very good. Once they are double-teamed at the basket, they can pass the ball to an open player in an instant.

On the outside, Brewer and Li Shihao are like a weakened version of Jordan and Pippen. The two attack and defend. Brewer plays Pippen on the defensive end. He has a pair of super long arms and is extremely fast. , Cooperating with Li Shihao's defense, it is enough to form an outside blockade against Roy from the outside.

Li Shihao's best scoring method is the fadeaway jump shot. He grew up watching Jordan's games, and he practiced this scoring method the most.

His fadeaway jumper has a very high hit rate in a certain space, and it has stable attributes.

If he doesn't double-team him on the outside, Li Shihao can shoot his opponent to death in a game!
Now after the Timberwolves' inside line resorted to the triangle tactics, the inside and outside lines were instantly activated, especially the firepower of the outside line was fully utilized.

Li Shihao has the attributes of being able to shoot and pass suddenly. He began to move from the point guard position to the shooting guard position, swinging between the two positions.

His low-post singles skills may be less effective against tall point guards with strong physical fitness, but against Roy's defense, he is extremely smooth.

Roy's style of play is very similar to that of Li Shihao, and they both belong to the type of players whose physical fitness is not favored.Although Roy is known as the "Yellow Mamba" and is called another Kobe by many media, in fact, Roy's scoring is a conventional scoring method, and there are very few difficult goals. Step jumpers and pull-up jumpers are the most common means.

In the previous confrontation with Li Shihao, the two formed a mutual explosive situation, but after the Timberwolves changed their tactics, Roy not only fell into a passive position on defense, but also suffered great restrictions on offense. Pressing every step of the way, with Brewer watching on one side, he will face the risk of blocking and stealing at any time. Such defensive pressure has gradually cooled his touch.

McMillan also had no good solution, he could only say some persuasive words to Roy, trying to make this proud disciple get rid of the constraints of defense on the offensive end and lead the team to victory.

But this game was destined to disappoint him.

The Timberwolves' triangle offense is mostly copied from the Bulls period. Their inside offense is not too much. With a rebounding machine like Love, their offense focuses on the outside.

Similarly, the Timberwolves' blockade of the outside line was also extremely powerful, which caused Roy to lose his standard. Not only did he not have a stable score on the offensive end, he was also intercepted by Brewer twice, and the Blazers fell into a predicament.

Roy is extremely important to the current Trail Blazers. In the eyes of coach McMillan, Roy is now at his peak. He needs to use this instant combat power perfectly until Oden and Al on the inside line. Until Delici grows up, the talented Trail Blazers will become a terrifying team in the West by then.

At that time, the championship is not a fantasy!

It is true that the blueprint conceived by McMillan is very attractive, and on the basis of ideals, it has certain feasibility!
The current Roy is indeed extremely strong. He has trained in the NCAA for four years, and his playing style has been honed to an extremely mature level. It can be said that he is very happy in the NCAA.

In his rookie season, he averaged 16 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds per game. He was almost unanimously elected the best rookie of the year.At that time, fans on the other side of the ocean complained one after another. Roy was quite the demeanor of the "Ten Mile Slope Sword God" back then, and he almost came out of the mountain after reaching the full level in Xinshou Village.

Roy, who has been honed in the college league for four years, is often not weak against the top guards in the league, but facing the Timberwolves' tactic tonight, he is quite passive.

On the offensive end, Brewer, whose defensive attributes have greatly increased, was blocked. On the defensive end, he met Li Shihao, who exploded tonight.
This game was not as tense as the media predicted before the game. On the contrary, the young Timberwolves had the upper hand and finally pulled the score to more than 8 points in a wave of 0:[-] in the third quarter. The Blazers replaced the starting five. , giving up the game.

The strength of the two teams can be said to be comparable. Even if there is a gap, the Blazers should have a slight advantage.

But after the game, when the technicians counted the data, the media reporters present were stunned. Li Shihao scored 41 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds, and was once again elected the best player in the game.

This year's rookies are really a gathering of talents. The reporters present faintly feel that the league is about to change. The 96 generation is still ruling the league. The 03 generation has not yet succeeded in taking the top position. However, the rookies of the past three years have already begun to rise , They are rising at an already surprising speed, trying to break people's perception of basketball.

Look at Durant in the 07 class. He averaged 30 points per game this season, and he is very likely to become the youngest scoring leader in NBA history. Who can guard him at the small forward position?
Look at Rose, Westbrook, and Kevin Love in the 08 class. They already have people who have begun to lead the team to rise. Last year, the young Rose led the team to the playoffs in his rookie season and succeeded in the playoffs. They fought against the defending champion Celtics for seven games. Although the rookie finally lost in the tiebreaker, they also indirectly shattered the Celtics' championship dream. The physical exertion of the tiebreaker, The injury-ridden Celtics exhausted their energy and eventually lost their championship contention.

This year, Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, Evans of the Kings, Bruce Lee of the Timberwolves, Griffin of the Clippers, James Harden of the Thunder... There are too many rookies in this rookie that are memorable!
The most outstanding thing is probably Bruce Lee who played a dominant performance tonight. He led the team to use triangle tactics for the first time in the game, and successfully defeated the western powerhouse Trail Blazers.

It seems that the report of this game needs to be changed. There are too many topics worth writing about tonight's game. At this time, the reporters present all looked at each other, feeling a little helpless.Sometimes too many choices can be a big headache!

The next day, the basketball section of the New York Daily News published this commentary:
[The NBA league that is about to usher in change?

With the new season in full swing, everyone's attention seems to be on those championship teams or top stars, and there is nothing wrong with that.

However, the author is here to tell you the news that the league is about to usher in changes in the future. The stars who rule this league should pay attention, your challenger is here!
还记得今年上半年在波士顿北岸花园里发生的“惨案”吗？卫冕冠军凯尔特人让一个毛头小子德里克罗斯在季后赛砍下了场均19。7分+6。28板+6。4助的数据，他们让一个仅仅在联盟内打球一年的新秀，追平了天勾贾巴尔的季后赛36分记录！
This is a disgrace to the Celtics, but we have seen the most thrilling point guard duel in the past 20 years!
Now the flames of war in the new season have been completely ignited. The Cavaliers and Celtics in the East, the Lakers, Suns, and Spurs in the West will compete for the only championship, while the Chicago Bulls, Oklahoma City Thunder, and other young players The team is joining this war as a young guard. Who can say that they are not eligible for the O'Brien Cup?
It's a game!
But look at the performance of those young people in the new season!
Kevin Durant, the No. 07 pick in 30, is attacking for the throne of scoring champion. With an average of [-] points per game, I am afraid he will become the youngest top scorer on the planet, right?

Rose's performance this year is astonishing, maybe he is very popular as an All-Star, maybe another All-Star guard will appear in the windy city of Chicago, but this is very likely to be the next Jordan!
Mr. Jennings, the youngest 50-pointer in the Eastern Conference, has led the Bucks towards the playoffs. DeRozan of the Raptors is also doing well, and Jeff Teague of the Atlanta Hawks. Shine your own light!

But don't forget, the competition in the West is the fiercest!

由华裔新秀布鲁斯李领衔的新秀之争变得战火朝天，这里的硝烟浓度绝对远超东部，布鲁斯李场均26分5。6助攻4。2篮板的数据笑傲新赛季，而埃文斯场均20分的数据追赶在身后，斯蒂芬库里场均19。1分紧随No.3。

Are you sure these three young players are rookies this year?
Our No. 3 pick, Mr. Griffin, was unfortunately reimbursed for the season and lost the opportunity to compete. The second pick, Mr. Thabeet, was relatively successful in attracting firepower for Griffin, averaging 1 points and 3 rebounds per game. Such shabby data , Memphis fans are cursing the incompetence of the team's management every night, and our No. 6 pick, Mr. James Harden, seems to have lost all his strength to compete for the best rookie, and he is still worried about his playing time!
After reading the new season's battle report, the author was surprised to find that this year is a great year for guards, and this season's shocking rookies are basically playing guards!

Such a gathering of elite defenders gathered in the east and west reminds me of the grand occasion of the 96 golden generation. Who will be the best rookie this year?Who will win the much-anticipated championship?Who will have the last laugh?
This is a puzzle, and the author is willing to wait with everyone for the end of the new season! 】

When this comment from the New York Daily was released, the fans in the United States were detonated. Is this a rookie contest or a guard contest?

Which of them will be another Jordan?Who will dominate this league?
