NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 101: Not active in defense, ranked first in fast break!

The Hornets have focused on cultivating Kemba Walker in recent years.

pity.

So far, the results are very limited.

Last season, he averaged 17.7 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. He looked pretty good, but his efficiency was extremely low, with only a 39% shooting rate.

Last season was better, with a 42% shooting percentage. The previous season, Walker's rookie season, only 36%.

Blacksmith!

Logically speaking, Walker is not much better this season, shooting only 38%.

The result was completely unexpected.

this match.

That is, after Xue Liancheng made a free throw, this guy rushed to the frontcourt, scored a three-pointer, and made a hit.

This time it was Xue Liancheng's turn to speak out.

Because this guy scored a three-pointer over his head.

but.

He quickly adjusted his mentality, advanced quickly, and when he reached the center circle, he signaled to pull away again.

He didn't expect to be able to do the same thing, but he wanted to see if Henderson dared to reach out again.

really.

Faced with Xue Liancheng's debugging rhythm, Henderson did not dare to stretch his hand randomly anymore.

This made him overjoyed.

If there is any hesitation, start directly, with one lunge... ugh! If you walk vigorously, move forward.

Henderson's lateral speed is very fast and he can keep up immediately.

of course.

It may also be because Xue Liancheng is slow. If it were Wall or Wei, he would probably be able to rush over.

At the same time, Walker's double-team came immediately.

prior to.

Xue Liancheng usually passes the ball immediately. After all, as a qualified point guard, he must play reasonably.

But this time.

He did not.

Taking advantage of his strength, he leaned directly on Henderson and moved forward.

And Walker reached out directly and tried to grab the ball.

Haha ...

Xue Liancheng was overjoyed, passed through Walker's arm again, twisted his body and jumped up forcefully.

He glanced at the basket and threw the ball.

Beep!

At the same time as the whistle sounded, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the frame.

Thug foul!

Also scored!

2 + 1

Xue Liancheng felt happy all of a sudden.

It turned out that after a long time, it was still effective. He had been frightened by Henderson's constant physical pressure and the Hornets' brainless double-teaming.

It feels like once you break in, you will be in a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

Now it seems……

No.

He is the beast that scares everyone.

After opening your mind.

Afterwards, the offensive rhythm finally came back.

Xue Liancheng started a breakthrough mode that was like entering a no-man's land. Henderson no longer dared to reach out and could only rely on physical contact to try to put pressure on Xue Liancheng.

But in terms of size and strength alone, he is not inferior to any defender. At least none of the defenders he has come into contact with can withstand his impact.

Henderson?

No exception.

and so.

His breakthrough became much smoother and easier.

And once encountering a double-team.

If the defender comes to help defend, he will rush forward resolutely to see if the opponent dares to stretch out his hand. Once he reaches out, he will immediately hit the target.

But if the other party doesn't reach out, it can only be passed.

With two people on his back, he really couldn't break through.

If you encounter an inside player to help defend, it will be a bit difficult, because the inside player has bigger arms and strength than him, so he can't pull it!

and so.

In this case, he usually gives up the breakthrough and passes the ball out.

But whether it is an inside player or a defender, once they come to help defend, it means that a teammate will be open.

So……

Passing the ball seems to be a good option as well.

Especially as the collective feeling of his teammates warmed up, his breakthrough points were finally no longer useless.

Guys like Justin Hamilton are pretty good. After coming off the bench, he scored two consecutive goals, a cut and a two-point catch.

One battle is over.

At 23:24, the Heat were only 1 point behind.

If the Heat had not experienced a black start for four and a half minutes, there is no doubt that it would have been a different situation.

Xue Liancheng played the entire first quarter, so as soon as the second quarter began, he sat on the sidelines and watched.

result.

It made his tooth hurt.

Norris Cole is a useless guy who just keeps sliding the baseline with a ball. What's the use?

What's even more hateful is that I feel so stinky, and I shot desperately, missing three shots in a row, a total of 4 for 0 shots.

Spoel finally couldn't take it anymore and asked Uncle Wei to replace Cole on the field.

But Cole came off the court and the damage he caused to the team was huge.

The Hornets took advantage of this opportunity and scored three consecutive points, and the score was opened again.

"Xue, their conversion speed is so fast!"

At this time, Sean Williams suddenly came over and said.

Xue Liancheng: "..."

The conversion speed is not only very fast, but too fast.

The defensive counterattack was particularly good.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually not difficult to understand.

Walker, Henderson, Marvin Williams, and even the newly signed Stephenson are all young people.

Speeding up is the favorite offensive method of young people, and what they are attacking is the Heat's unstable footing.

Especially Stephenson, who is so funny.

That's right.

That's the idiot blowing into the ear of my great James.

Although the shooting is unstable and the style of play is very weird, it should not be said that Stephenson still has a good vision and the connection pass is also very good.

In this game, it played a very significant role in the fast break.

In addition, the Hornets actually fought very well in position battles.

As a member of the 20+10 club, Al Jefferson's small hook and mid-range shooting are textbook-level.

Although he has degraded a bit and is slower now, Jefferson still has a natural advantage in the paint.

Anyway, with Bo Erye's tonnage and strength, it is difficult to compete with him.

"Confronting them like this doesn't seem to be the way!"

Sean Williams said to himself again, "We don't have anyone on this team who can speed up."

Although it is true, Xue Liancheng is not happy to hear this. You seem to be thinking about me? I have to refute, where did you put me, Uncle Wei, "Who said no, Dwayne is very fast."

Sean Williams didn't seem to realize the problem and said to himself, "But... he has to hold the ball!"

Ok?

and many more……

Yup!

In fact, Wade's speed is very fast. Even though he is old and has been plagued by knee injuries, speed is still Wade's absolute advantage.

But after holding the ball, Wade really can't be as fast as he was back then.

in case……

Use him to advance with the ball, then pull out Uncle Wei and go straight to the basket.

Then, their defensive counterattack seems to be able to fight.

After all, Wade's speed and his passing vision are naturally suitable for defensive counterattacks.

I never had this awareness before because he, Bo Erye, Luol Deng, and even Sean Williams are not fast players.

Since he can't run fast, why do he still play transitional fast breaks?

Subconsciously, they think that it is impossible to type at all.

Even Spoelstra thought so.

Therefore, there is no awareness of this aspect at all.

In addition, as a point guard, he is slow and cannot move quickly when advancing. Wade is also following the trend, slowing down and waiting for his teammates to get into position.

Or when Wade advanced, he lost the demeanor of the Flash, and subconsciously wanted to wait for him and Bo Erye to take their positions.

This resulted in no conversion attempts.

If you leave everything behind.

Judging from the cooperation between him and Wade, it seems that he can pick up the transition fast break and try it again.

An idea suddenly flashed in Xue Liancheng's mind, and he suddenly thought of a new tactic.

There are more than six minutes left in the second quarter.

Xue Liancheng replaced Chalmers.

He did not go straight to the frontcourt, but came to Wade who was advancing with the ball, "Dwayne, I think with your speed, it would be a pity not to go for a fast break."

Uncle Wei was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

Xue Liancheng explained, "What I mean is that we can try to play defensive counterattack and quickly switch. I will advance with the ball. You just run into the frontcourt at full speed and wait for my pass."

Wade was obviously confused, "Then my teammates..."

Xue Liancheng interrupted directly, "Don't worry about them, you just need me to cooperate with you."

Wade was obviously hesitant, "Is this okay?"

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows, "Did you forget that when you partnered with LeBron, did you change the power of the fast break?"

When Wade heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but soon dimmed, and he immediately retorted, "But the problem is, LeBron and I are both very fast!"

Xue Liancheng said firmly, "My passing speed is faster."

Wade finally understood, "You mean, let me play fast break alone?"

Xue Liancheng nodded and said, "That's enough! You only need one person to score. Of course, you have to have this awareness. When your opponent shoots, regardless of whether it goes in or not, you don't care about it, and don't think about grabbing rebounds. , but rush forward the first time, and when the time comes, the ball will naturally be passed to your hands, allowing you to score easily."

"This……"

Wade hesitated.

Doesn’t this mean you are out of touch with your teammates?

Not participating in defense and not following up on rebounds was completely contrary to his basketball philosophy, and he couldn't accept it.

Xue Liancheng said sincerely, "Scoring is the first priority. As the leader of the team, you need to score more points, so we have a greater chance of winning."

That's right!

He just hopes that Uncle Wei will learn from me, James, who is not active in defense and ranks first in fast breaks.

Although it is often criticized by fans, it is effective in personal testing. My example of James is here.

Just like what he just said.

On the basketball court, scoring is the first priority, everything else... is for scoring.

In positional battles, you work hard, you pull me, all kinds of movements, all kinds of screens, all kinds of coordination, all tactics have only one purpose, and that is to send the ball into the basket.

As for fast break, you can score without so much trouble, so why not use it?

If it weren't for his slow speed, he would have been flying upfield.

Defense?

It's none of my business to talk about the difficulty.

To be subtle, is it important to have a score?

As long as the opponent takes a shot in the offensive round, it doesn't matter whether the ball goes in or not. It is the king to start a fast break as soon as possible.

This truth is very simple and anti-human.

But on the basketball court, it is the most practical.

I, King James, have always done this, and the results achieved are remarkable.

Just like Pengci, everyone scolds, but everyone wants to have the talent of Harden, and everyone wants to be like Harden.

How easy it is to score!

Uncle Wei's advantage is that he is fast, and he is one of the best. Of course, he must take advantage of this speed to the extreme.

This is not a waste of talent.

This was the reason why he encouraged Uncle Wei.

If Uncle Wei's speed is as slow as his, or very average, and many players can catch up, then there is no need.

Because...this is not your advantage.

No matter how much you exert yourself, you will never be able to exert your greatest influence.

Xue Liancheng took a deep breath and said, "Dwayne, do you want to win?"
