Chapter 10 The Summer League Begins

Las Vegas.

The summer league has begun, and the first opponent of the Lakers is the Kings. The core of the Kings is very similar to that of the Lakers, with one inside and one outside.

Last season, Dearon Fox showed good physical fitness, sharp breakthrough and explosive power.

Mu Xiaobei took the beats earphones that Karlin bought for him into the arena to do warm-up activities, thinking about the coach's instructions and pointers.

The whistle blew and the game began.

The referee tossed the basketball high, and Mu Xiaobei and Bagley jumped at the same time. Bagley bounced fast and jumped high, while Mu Xiaobei was tall and had long arms. In the end, Hart managed to get the basketball.

Bagley's running and jumping are his strengths, but his ball-holding low-post offensive skills are relatively rough, and his shooting ability is poor. He can let go of shots if necessary, but he must pay attention to his rolls after pick-and-rolls, air cuts and offensive rebounds. rush to grab.

According to the coach's tactic, it was naturally a horn tactic at the beginning. This tactic has been practiced many times by these people in the previous two seasons.

Hart went in the direction of Mu Xiaobei's pick-and-roll, Mu Xiaobei expanded in the opposite direction, and Williams went down.

The Kings defended well this time, but Bagley was obviously a bit overbearing, and directly let Mu Xiaobei take two steps. Maybe he thought that Mu Xiaobei was just a turning point, not the point of the end.

Mu Xiaobei looked at it and thought: who do you look down on!

He raised his hand and threw it, a three-pointer went into the net, and the Lakers took the lead in scoring.

Bagley obviously didn't expect the opponent to have a three-pointer. Of course, as the No. 20 pick, he didn't need to study a play style that was more than [-] picks lower than himself.

In the defensive round, Hart and Mu Xiaobei clapped their hands to indicate that they were very happy that they could easily succeed in their first tactic.

Head coach Dave Joerger obviously didn't expect that the head coach of the Summer League Lakers who chose rookies for training would let Mu Xiaobei and the others play tactics like this.

But since it is military training, it is up to the disciples to solve the problems on the field by themselves.

On the defensive end, when defending Bagley, Mu Xiaobei clearly felt that Bagley was really fast, and he would not sit in the low post like a traditional center and wait for post-ups, but was more like a third position through screens and innocence. The ball runs looking for opportunities.

Fast and energetic, this is the most troublesome type of player for Mu Xiaobei who needs to be matched up, because Mu Xiaobei can't run, and if Mu Xiaobei is taken away, the deterrent force at the basket may not be so strong.

Fox received the ball and changed direction continuously, relying on his speed to make a sudden breakthrough, relying on his physical fitness to squeeze away Hart, and took three steps towards Mu Xiaobei and was about to make a layup.

Mu Xiaobei dodged back for a while, making sure to jump up when Fox took the third step.

When Fox took the third step, Mu Xiaobei opened his big hand, but he didn't expect that Foles, who was flying in the air, lowered his arms, lowered his hands, and sent the ball to Bagley.

It was not easy to send the ball under Mu Xiaobei's huge body. Bagley was a little crooked when he caught the ball, so he adjusted it a bit.

This adjustment just gave Mu Xiaobei time to turn around.

In this attack, Bagley did not choose to dunk, but leaned back slightly, raised his right hand high, thinking of using a throw to hit the board to send the ball into the basket.

However, Mu Xiaobei's tall body still interfered with the 210cm-tall Bagley's sight. When he hit the board, he tilted a little bit, and the ball hit the left edge of the basket. Mu Xiaobei just received the rebound.

To the surprise of many people, Hart did not step forward to ask for the ball, but Mu Xiaobei dribbled the ball and tried to cross the half court. It was not until Fox on the opposite side forced him up that Mu Xiaobei passed the basketball to Hart, and Hart Just one step outside the three-point line, there is already a big open space.

Hart raised his hand and shot a three-pointer, hollow into the net.

The counterattack was successful.

Why do you say that Westbrook and James are terrible?Because they are fast and have a strong ability to take defensive rebounds, so when they take off the defensive rebound, they can directly launch a counterattack through their abnormal speed.

This is why Draymond Green's tactical status in the Warriors is very high. As we all know, the Warriors' counterattack is very strong. A large part of the reason is their Green and Iguodala. fight back.

This is why Mingming Green's offensive data and skills are not so top-notch, but he can still be selected as an All-Star in the strong Western Conference.

Wharton wanted Mu Xiaobei to play the role of Dream Chaser Green in the team's counterattack round, but it didn't work very well because Mu Xiaobei was too tall and his dribbling speed was not fast, so it was difficult to promote the counterattack .

But Mu Xiaobei has a good view of the pass, and the pass is relatively good. Sometimes it is not bad to let his teammates go directly to his own half and let Mu Xiaobei launch a long pass.

But these have not been systematically trained. Walton means to test the feasibility of these ideas through this summer league.

With Bagley's empty cut layup, the Lakers requested a timeout, and the time came to the last 3 minutes of the second quarter of the game. The score was Lakers 55: Kings 50.

Bagley's speed is indeed difficult to deal with. Since Mu Xiaobei has never played against this type of athlete, he was at a loss at first, but now Mu Xiaobei has found some tricks.

It is said to be a trick, but in fact there is no way.

Williams made an off-ball screen for Mu Xiaobei, and Hart passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei in a blink of an eye. Obviously, this kind of coordination has been practiced many times by the team.

Mu Xiaobei took three steps. The king's power forward, well, Mu Xiaobei couldn't name him, and he didn't even stop him. Mu Xiaobei directly dunked.

During the Kings' offensive round, this time Mu Xiaobei let Bagley run however he wanted and stayed near the three-second zone. Anyway, your shooting ability is not strong, so if you dare to shoot, I will let you go.

Bagley missed a mid-range jumper from the corner three-point line, and Mu Xiaobei took off the rebound.

Following Mu Xiaobei's defensive method of betting that you won't score but just won't let you layup, Bagley seems to have gradually opened up his shots, hitting consecutive mid-range jumpers from the free throw line, and even hit a three-pointer. , and almost recovered the score in the final period.

As the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score between the Lakers and the Kings in the first game of the summer league was fixed at 98 to 93, and the Lakers won by five points.

全场比赛木小北上场27分钟，得到28分11篮板4助攻2封盖的数据，投篮18中12，其中三分6中3，罚球2中一。

哈特出场32分钟，得到23+3+4的数据，其中投篮15中7，三分7中4，罚球5中5。

Bagley, who played against Mu Xiaobei, played 25 minutes and scored 18 points and 6 rebounds. He made 16 of 6 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and 6 of 5 free throws. Hit again and again, even hit a three-pointer, it can be seen that the No. [-] pick has not neglected training this summer.

After the game, A Nuo from Penguin Sports approached Mu Xiaobei and was going to interview Mu Xiaobei.

"Xiaomu, congratulations on winning the game. You played very well in this game. Statistics also suppressed this year's No. [-] pick Bagley. What do you think of this?"

Mu Xiaobei knew that this was domestic media and wanted to create momentum for himself, but Mu Xiaobei didn't want to be too ostentatious, so he responded: "Getting good data is because the tactics arranged by the coach are very successful, and I am also very grateful to my teammates for doing it for me. Ball. Bagley also played very well tonight, the misfire in the middle is just that he lost his touch. He is a very aggressive and impactful player."

"Okay, the second question, being drafted by the Lakers this year, how do you feel about your status in the team?" Arnold seemed to understand Mu Xiaobei's thoughts, and did not raise the question of provocation again.

"The team is great. Coach Walton is a very wise head coach. He has a very thorough understanding of basketball. The other teammates are all young people. They take great care of me."

"The last question, your domestic fans are very happy when you play in the NBA. Do you have anything to say about your team's domestic fans?"

"Thank you for your support. I can only say that I will follow the example of Uncle Yao Ming and strive to play well in every game. I will not disappoint the fans in China."

"Okay, thank you Xiaomu for the interview, and I will follow up and report on other games."

Everyone can probably see that when Xiaoqiao wrote about the game, he basically wrote about a few rounds, and then wrote about the results and basically summed it up. The main purpose is to highlight the technical characteristics of the world's players.

Xiaoqiao can write a few more rounds, but Xiaoqiao feels that there is suspicion of flooding, but Xiaoqiao will focus on writing more when the season starts and there are important games.

Since the new season has not yet started, Xiaoqiao is about to start writing. There will definitely be many predictions that do not match the real life, but we have the protagonist.

In addition, if you feel that Xiaoqiao needs to focus more on the game itself, please leave a message in this chapter, and Xiaoqiao will consider and adopt your suggestions.

Newcomers and new books are on the road, please support me a lot, thank you very much.
