vertical and horizontal point guard

Chapter 74
Chapter 77 Big reversal at the end
A large number of rookies have poured in this season, and this year is a big year in the eyes of many experts. The outstanding rookie guards have reinjected a powerful booster into the league.

In the global league of the NBA, every year, people age, or leave the league, or even retire, and bid farewell to this stage. This is a kind of sadness, and it is also the inevitable result of the metabolism of this league.

This year is a well-known big year for defenders. Not only talented defenders in the United States, but also young people from all over the world have chosen to participate in the draft this year.

Who will be the number one shooting guard in the league today?Wade or Kobe?Many people have different answers in their minds. Wade’s breakthrough is unsolvable. The Flash’s first step is too fast. You can’t keep up with his rhythm. A strong contender for the championship, even if Wade sometimes slumps in the regular season, but who knows if this is a sleepy nap of this Flash?

As long as the game is at a critical moment, many people believe that the aggressive and terrifying Wade will still return to the game and use the iconic lost step to solve the battle.

And what about Kobe?Now Kobe has won four championship rings and the MVP of the regular season. Now he is attacking for the fifth championship in his career. The strong guy, with comprehensive offensive methods, three-pointers, fadeaways, post-up singles... which one of the perimeter offensive methods does he not know?
These two years may be his peak two years. Whether Peter Pan can match or even surpass Jordan in the historical low position depends on these two years.

And who is the league's number one point guard?

The Suns leader Steve Nash who is in good shape this year, the little fat Deron who is constantly improving in Salt Lake City, or Chris Paul who has been confirmed to be reimbursed due to injury this season?

Timberwolves' Chinese rookie Li Shihao was selectively ignored. As a rookie, his performance is indeed amazing, and his personal data may not be surprising. Looking at the entire league, there are a lot of people who are better than him in terms of personal data.

However, on the rookie list, the Chinese boy Bruce Lee is only a first-year rookie, but he has already completed such an amazing performance.

In the history of the league, it is not uncommon for a rookie season to play All-Star data, but what is rare is to carry the team's record. This is the double standard to measure a player's true strength.

Regarding the topic of who is better among the rookies this year, some people think it is Li Shihao, and some people think it is Tyreke Evans. In the United States, there is even such a view that Evans is not worse than Li Shihao, but his teammates. It's not as good as the teammates of the Chinese boy.

If you replace him with a bunch of young and talented players like the Timberwolves, Evans will do very well.

This view is not unheard of. On the contrary, it is very popular in the United States. Evans was once the number one high school student in the United States. His physical fitness is excellent, and his skills are also in line with the mainstream type of American shooting guards. He is the most popular, even the champion Griffin is not as high as him.

However, where there is black, there is white, and where there is white, there is black.

There are also many black fans in the United States. They don't like the way Evans plays, they like Curry's way of playing, and they like more skilled guards.

This year, when Curry is still adapting to the league and the Chinese boy Bruce Lee has suddenly emerged, many fans have paid attention to this yellow-skinned boy far away in Minnesota.

Obviously his physical condition is not good, why is he still scoring so easily?Obviously the speed is not fast, why are the players defending him as stupid as puppets, and are often easily broken through.Obviously he came from that ancient country that only produced excellent big men, why does he have an excellent overall view and passing vision...

Many, many unreasonable reasons made many fans fall in love with this Chinese boy, and this game was also regarded by many fans as a knight duel between the two.

If you don't fight, you will be done, and if you fight, you will be victorious!
When the knife sees blood, it will not rest until death!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the score gap between the two teams had been reduced to 11 points, and it was the last quarter that decided the outcome of the game.

The offensive and defensive efficiency of the Kings this season is very interesting. Their lineup is very young, and there are many masters of chaos in the team. Since the start of the new season, their defensive efficiency ranks second to last in the league, and their offensive efficiency ranks tenth.

Don't underestimate the tenth ranking. Among the [-] teams in the league, not many can beat the Kings in terms of offensive efficiency, such as the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and so on.

The Kings lineup is very young and indeed inexperienced, but they don't have too many requirements for offensive and defensive transitions, and they are more about attacking. Once two points in the team open their hands, it will be difficult to contain this team. Offensive tempo.

To put it more clearly, this team has no offensive rhythm yet, and basically relies on individual singles and outstanding talents to compete. Once it encounters a state of overwhelming hands, then it is the rhythm of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas.

The king's main thing this season is to train new players, and they are not too demanding on the record, so that in the king's games, players often play unreasonably. Can't stop it.

Even the strong defensive teams in the league can't stop them. The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics are not the only ones who died tragically under the King's chaos this season?

Random punches can kill the master, not to mention a bunch of crazy young players!
It's a pity that they met the Timberwolves in this game. The Timberwolves' lineup is very balanced, with rebounds, defensive gates inside, swingers on the outside, and the strength of the point guard is not bad. Any ordinary role player can barely play a role, this lineup can face most teams in the league.

As long as the Timberwolves don't encounter a strong team like the Spurs and Celtics, or an unsolvable team like the Los Angeles Lakers, the Timberwolves can play brilliantly. This season, the Cleveland Cavaliers will fall to the young Timberwolves hand?
The game has reached the fourth quarter, and the Timberwolves are still 11 points behind. Their momentum has risen. The current situation is that the Timberwolves can score steadily, and the Kings will not score no matter how they play. As long as they continue to suppress the Kings' touch, the Timberwolves will be able to finish in the final quarter Go-ahead, successfully won the game.

The strength of the Kings lies in their perimeter. Their small forward positions and shooting guards are not too bad. Once they play well, they are roles that no one can stop.

Timberwolves coach Frank Vogel thought about it for a while and switched Brewer to the [-] position in the fourth quarter. Ability to contain Tyreke Evans.

After the new lineup was introduced, the effect was obvious. Evans, who had started to feel cold at the end of the third quarter, became even more depressed. He began to be restrained on the offensive end and could not perform well at all.

Corey Brewer's defensive attitude really doesn't say anything, it belongs to the diligent type, you want to score?Do you want to break through?
no way!Don't even think about it!

Corey Brewer's talent is outstanding. McHale chose him because of his outstanding physical condition, and he was optimistic about his ability to play.

What is unexpected is that Curry did not play a star role on the offensive end. Instead, he evolved towards the defensive end. He has more and more meanings of "Pippen" on the defensive end.

Originally, if the Timberwolves did not select Li Shihao, Corey Brewer might still be hesitating between offense and defense, but after Li Shihao came, Corey made up his mind to focus on the defensive end.

For any player, the first few years of his career are an important stage, and the future of many players is shaped during this time.

Fortunately, Corey Brewer has found the right development path. He is not suitable to be the main scorer of a team. You can also add some offensive firepower to the team by shooting open jumpers from the outside.

This positioning is undoubtedly very suitable for Brewer. The Timberwolves have no shortage of offensive firepower. The team has Li Shihao on the outside. Although he is a first-year rookie, he has comprehensive offensive methods, can shoot suddenly, and has excellent passing ability. One person revitalizes the team in the game.In addition, the team's new Ryan Gomez is not bad, this is also a swingman, a lottery gem in the 05 draft.

Gomez's skills are very comprehensive. He can make excellent low-post singles, turn around and step back jumpers. The open catch jumper is not bad, and he can occasionally make a few three-pointers.

His shooting is very accurate, but not too stable. Once the shooting is not accurate, he will choose to use breakthroughs and basket fakes to solve the battle.

Gomez spent two years in Boston and studied with Paul Pierce for a few years, and his breakthrough and fake moves are very good.The defense is not bad, the only flaw is that the speed is too slow.

In this game, Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel had a whim and mentioned Gomez to the second position, wanting to try a new tactic. As a result, this young man was very shameless and was blown away by Evans, which made Frank Some old people blushed and quickly switched him to the small forward.

Otherwise, if the game is lost, the headlines of tomorrow's media may be gimmicks such as "The Timberwolves head coach is stupid, leading to a disastrous defeat at home".

The suspense of the game was finally stifled by the full-strength Timberwolves. The Kings encountered a scoring shortage in the early part of the fourth quarter. Well, the latter overtook the score with a dunk.

The Kings, who led by half the score, were discouraged at the last moment. After seeing the bright red score being overtaken by the Timberwolves, the young players of the Kings felt uncomfortable.

Naihe felt cold and couldn't help the team at all.

Evans rushed to the basket twice at the last moment and succeeded, but he was still unable to make an effective change to the situation.In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Kings at home with an advantage of 110:103.

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, Evans just panted with his hips on his hips, with loss and confusion in his eyes.

Gone was the confidence he had had before the game, and he began to question those voices who boasted that he was the future of the team.

Maybe, I'm really not as good as him?
