explosive dribbler

Chapter 72 Uncle Drew's Education

The game starts soon.

Let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides:
Home: Orlando Magic:
Point guard No. 19 An Xiaonan,

Point guard No. 4 Elfrid Payton,

Small forward No. 10 Evan Fournier,
Power forward No. 0 Aaron Gordon.

Center No. 9 Nikola Vucevic.

Head Coach: Frank Vogel.

Away: Boston Celtics:
No. 11 point guard Kyrie Irving,
Shooting guard No. 7 Jaylen Brown,
Small forward No. 0 Jayson Tatum,

Power forward No. 42 Al Horford,

Center No. 46 Aaron Baynes.

Head Coach: Brad Stevens.

After the coaches of both sides greeted each other, the referee led the ball to the middle circle.Baynes and Vucevic make a jump ball.

The first time the ball was given to the Magic.As soon as An Xiaonan received the ball, there was a wild cry from the audience: "An's crazy! An's crazy! An's crazy...!"

"Kyrie, did you see, this is my popularity in Orlando." An Xiaonan dribbled the ball and came in front of Irving.

"Rookie, the NBA is not a place where you can spread your wings and fly."

Owen responded lightly.

An Xiaonan passed the ball and started to execute tactics.

On the first offense, Fournier missed a mid-range jumper, Horford took off the rebound and passed the ball to Irving, and then Irving led his teammates forward.

Boston Celtics.

An Xiaonan secretly thought: Under the training of young coach Stevens, the system of this team has matured.

An Xiaonan knew that the Magic's system was simply too childish compared to the Celtics.

The Celtics are the best defensive team in the league, bar none.So far this season, the Celtics' defense is not at the same level as the other 29 teams...

It seems that every game of the Celtics is so ordinary. In fact, as long as the team that has played against them will change their colors when it comes to their defense.

Players' individual defense ability is sometimes not so good, but they are grasshoppers in a line, and the attacking team's shooting rate is often reduced to an extremely low level...

An Xiaonan stood in front of Owen, watching the ball in Owen's hand vigilantly.Because he didn't know when Irving broke through himself with a fancy dribble.

But to An Xiaonan's surprise, Irving passed the ball to Tatum as soon as he dribbled the ball across half court.

Non-stick ball?
"Hey, Carey, I want to fight you one-on-one." An Xiaonan wanted to provoke Owen's competitive spirit.

Owen said indifferently: "Rookie, I am in a mature system."

An Xiaonan frowned.

"Basketball is not a one-person sport. The team I'm on has the best talent." While talking, Irving suddenly made a reverse run and pulled beyond the three-point line to receive the ball.

An Xiaonan was about to step forward to defend, but bumped into Horford's body.Feeling bad in his heart, Owen directly broke through to the free throw line.

I won't let you pass... Gordon thought to himself.

Irving was not in a hurry to break through, so he roughly looked for the position of his teammates, and then gave the ball to Brown on the three-point line in the bottom corner.

Brown is definitely the most promising rookie in the Celtics, and his offense is indispensable for the Celtics.

As soon as Brown got the ball, Payton rushed over.Brown made a breakthrough in a stride, passed Payton directly, and headed to the inside.

At this moment, An Xiaonan suddenly couldn't find Owen.

When he was about to defend Brown, he saw Brown pass the ball to the outside again.

I saw Irving took a half step back after receiving the ball, retreated beyond the three-point line, and got a big open.

Not good! It turned out that he ran to the three-point line! An Xiaonan yelled in his heart that it was not good. It was too late to defend Owen, so he could only watch Irving throw the ball.

The ball arced perfectly in the air and went hollow into the net.

"See, under a mature system, I don't need to be singled out with you to score goals."

Owen smiled and stepped back halftime.The Celtics' offense looks so relaxed and freehand.

An Xiaonan looked at Stevens, a handsome white guy in a suit and leather shoes who was sitting calmly on the bench off the court, secretly admiring his young and promising personality.

An Xiaonan brought the ball to the frontcourt. Next, the Magic tasted the horror of the Celtics' defensive system.

Although the Magic didn't make a mistake, they felt a little uncomfortable whenever they took a shot, and then they didn't get blocked.

Three consecutive attacks, the Magic failed to score.

Irving personally picked off the rebound and went straight to the frontcourt.An Xiaonan retreated first, and Irving made a long pass to Tatum.Tatum received the ball and rushed directly to the inside and caused a foul by Vucevic.

With two free throws and two free throws, the Celtics started with a wave of 6:0.

An Xiaonan was secretly surprised: As expected of the Green Army, is this the strength of the championship team? Sure enough, it wasn't a cover.

An Xiaonan realized the gap between the Magic and a real championship team. Their defense is too mature, like a shield.But the spear of magic is not enough to pierce the shield.

So the Magic were directly suppressed by the Celtics.

In the opening 4 minutes, Irving never made a shot except for a three-pointer.The remaining four of the Celtics also scored.

In 4 minutes, the Celtics directly hit the Magic with an [-]-[-] offensive climax.So far, the Magic have not scored a single point.

If you just look at the score, no one would think that this is a battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. They will only think that this is a game between a champion team and a poor team...

An Xiaonan looked at the relaxed Owen opposite, and secretly decided in his heart that he must break the scoring shortage.

After the timeout, An Xiaonan directly asked for the ball for singles.

The corner of Owen's mouth twitched slightly: Brad really guessed right, An Xiaonan really played singles.

The tactics Stevens deployed during the timeout were singles against An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan kept dribbling the ball and approached Owen, and then suddenly turned forward and bent forward to break through to the left.For some reason, Owen seemed to be directly passed by him.

An Xiaonan felt something was wrong, and suddenly felt a huge pressure coming from behind him.

The ball is about to be intercepted! An Xiaonan thought in his heart that it was not good, he put the ball together with both hands, found Payton on the other side, and passed the ball.

At this moment, a big hand blocked An Xiaonan's pass halfway.

An Xiaonan's pupils suddenly shrank, and the one who stole him was Brown!
How is it possible, how could they see through my pass!
Marshal Stevens crossed his hands on his chest off the court, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he was secretly proud: I knew you would do this.
