shooting guard era

Chapter 18 18. Baptism of the Strong Team

In today's game, because of Ye Han, TNT specially added a national live broadcast. Charles Barkley, who Ye Han had met once, was the commentator, and his partner was Kenny Smith, a member of the former Rockets champion.

The game starts, both sides jump the ball in the middle circle.

Can be called the No. [-] pick with extremely rough skills, Swift's physical fitness is very good, and he easily won the jump ball from Okafor.

The Grizzlies took the lead in attacking.

White Chocolate Jason Williams has possession of the ball.

Ye Han single-handedly defended against Jason Williams, who dribbled very steadily.

Jason Williams, who has only played for the Grizzlies for three years, is already the Grizzlies' assists leader, similar to Ye Han's feeling as the Bobcats' scoring leader.

Jason Williams is the No. [-] talent selected by the Kings in the shortened season. His passing ability is superb and he is known for his passing skills. The ball can't be defended, and the opponent will be fooled around. Sometimes the pass will not only fool the opponent, but even the teammates will be fooled.

Jason Williams dribbled the ball very casually. He seemed to be making fake moves, but he didn't seem to. Ye Han couldn't tell whether he was going to pass or shoot, and his whole body was full of fake moves.

Jason Williams dribbles very well and steadily, not fancy, but very good-looking, top in the league.

But good dribbling does not mean that the breakthrough is very good. Facing average defensive opponents, Jason Williams' breakthrough is not bad, but it is useless when facing top defensive players.

Jason Williams' fake moves were beautiful, but Ye Han was not disturbed at all.

Ye Han is different from ordinary defensive players. He is not the Bruce Bowen type of defense that sees through the opponent's rhythm and disrupts the opponent's rhythm.

His defense is more like Kobe, Jordan and McGrady in the Raptors period. He will not worry about the opponent's fake moves. His physical fitness allows him to face such offensive players without too much anticipation. If he moves after the real action, he will be able to recover the lost position.

This kind of players who break through purely by fake moves has good skills, but there is also a sad point, their physical fitness is really average.

Seeing that Jason Williams couldn't break through, Gasol stepped forward to pick and roll.Gasol's movement speed and pick-and-roll quality are at the forefront of the league, and he has a long-range shot. The pick-and-roll effect is one of the best in the league, and he can always attract the opponent's attention to him.

When Jason Williams bypassed Gasol, people suddenly discovered that the ball in his hand was gone!

The fans at the scene exclaimed for a while, and then Swift dunked successfully at the basket!

What the hell?How did the ball end up in Swift's hands?

The slow motion of the big screen gave the answer. Jason Williams actually passed the ball from Gasol's crotch, through Ye Han and Okafor to the penalty area!
This is so brave!Imagination is simply unmatched!
Fortunately, this group of people has been playing together for several years, otherwise even the teammates would not be able to receive this imaginative pass.In fact, not only the opponents, but even Jason Williams' teammates don't know when he passes the ball and how to deliver the ball to them. All they have to do is get used to it and get used to receiving the ball anytime, anywhere. into the basket.

Despite this, Jason Williams is often wasted a lot of good passes by his teammates, and turned into mistakes, and from time to time sent a good pass, his teammates were stunned and missed assists. .Although his passing ability may be the strongest in the league that year.

Got tricked at the beginning?

Jason Williams deserves to be the point guard who is most likely to make opponents angry. In front of his pass, opponents feel that their IQ has been insulted.

The Grizzlies have their pass masters, and the Bobcats have their own pass masters!The first-rate ball point guard Brian Knight signed this summer.

Blevin Knight, who is also a passing master, is different from the smooth dribbling of Jason Williams. It is obvious at a glance that he likes to play tricks.

Defensive Blevin Knight is the nicknamed President Sean Battier.

Blevin - Knight successfully broke through Battier with speed and beautiful flower work, and reached the inside.

But Blevin Knight, who had just entered the inside, was suddenly surrounded, and the Grizzlies' defense was too strong!The defender in front of him became Jason Williams defending Ye Han, Ye Han was entangled by Sean Battier, and Okafor on the inside was entangled by the energetic Swift , Gasol guards the inside, his long arms are like an invisible barrier, Gerald Wallace...he doesn't have too strong breakthrough ability, and his shots are not accurate.

The Four King Kongs in the Southwest Division!
The Hornets have fallen in the past two years, but the Grizzlies have stood up!Together with the top three in Texas, they form the most terrifying division. The four playoff teams are all teams that make the strong teams lose their skin.

The Grizzlies' defense messed up Blevin Knight, pass?Can't pass, few people have poor offensive ability with the ball, and his own offensive ability is very average, all of which are counterattacks and open shots.

The horror of the top three in Texas lies in their defense. Only people like Kobe who have no difficulty in creating and making it difficult will like to play against this kind of team. The Grizzlies have obviously become one of these teams.

Blevin Knight was forced to stop the ball one step inside the free throw line, a very awkward position, neither passing nor shooting.

The referee whistles!Offensive three-second violation!
The Grizzlies' iron barrel defense!

A 50-win team is not something the Bobcats can compete with. The team's discipline, player ability, tactical quality... etc., etc., the Bobcats are suppressed in all directions.

Halfway through the first quarter, no one scored for the Bobcats!

Although the Grizzlies played slowly offensively, they scored 17 points with a mid-range shot from Gasol, and the Bobcats were beaten 17-0!

The Grizzlies completed the attack again, Gasol held the ball high up and passed it back to Jason Williams who was running back like a guard, who made a floater.

19 is better than 0!

Jason Williams not only knows how to pass the ball, otherwise he wouldn’t be that big of a threat. His three-pointers and throw shots are very good. He was the point guard in the championship-level team Kings back then. Since his rookie year .

Bickerstaff called a timeout.

Is there any way to reverse the decline?
tactics?Even if Phil Jackson comes back to the Bobcats, he can't use tactics to reverse the gap with the Grizzlies in such a lineup.

"Coach, I have an idea, I don't know if it will be useful." Ye Han hesitated for a moment, then walked up to Bickerstaff and spoke.

"What idea?" Bickerstaff asked strangely.

"I watched the video of the Grizzlies' opening game a few days ago. They lost to the Suns by more than 30 points. The Suns' defense was worse than ours, but they played very well offensively, using misalignment and speeding up..." Ye Han said My own opinion.

Didn't the Grizzlies grind hard in positional warfare?Then play fast break!Without fast breaks and forced fast breaks, isn't the Bobcats' perimeter trio best at these?
But there are still some problems, Blevin Knight, Ye Han, and Gerald Wallace can run very well on the outside. Kapono is also a pitcher who can run, but not on the inside!
