NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 123 Wade, let me teach you two moves?

After two consecutive victories.

The Heat's record has reached 14 wins and 8 losses, and they have regained a foothold in the Eastern Conference and will not have the illusion of crumbling.

Si Bo could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

And as the Cavaliers lost to the Thunder, the Heat surpassed the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls, both 13-8, and ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

And the first three.

They are the Toronto Raptors, who are experiencing two consecutive losses, with a record of 16 wins and 6 losses.

And the Washington Wizards and Atlanta Hawks, both 15 wins and 6 losses.

The records of these six teams are very anxious, and the rankings may change at any time. If they lose one or two more games, they may fall behind.

But for the Heat, it's not a big problem.

Because in the next game, they need to challenge the Utah Jazz, who have 6 wins and 16 losses in the Western Conference.

They are very hopeful to consolidate the fourth ranking in the Eastern Conference.

But the game is played the day after tomorrow.

So the next day, Xue Liancheng spent time in the arena as usual.

just.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Wei came.

Uncle Wei was very surprised, "Hey... Xue, are you still training?"

Xue Liancheng wiped his sweat and said very seriously, "This is my life."

Ok……

Sean Williams is a bitch, but I haven’t taken him to a beach party yet.

It's the other way around!

Didn't take him seriously at all.

Uncle Wei chuckled and looked at Xue Liancheng, his eyes shining brighter and brighter, "Xue, I appreciate you more and more."

There are not many people who can calm down and stay in the basketball hall all the time.

He himself had been one.

However, as knee wear and tear has become more serious, the amount of training has been significantly reduced over the years.

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Just appreciate it.

It's almost enough to introduce a girl.

Since coming to the country of Mi Li, he has never contributed his best to the country. He feels that he is unworthy of the motherland and the people.

I finally met Anna, but she turned out to be a trickster.

It's so sad...

Uncle Wei slapped the ball and suddenly became interested, "A game? Ten balls?"

"Basketball is a sport for five people. I am extremely opposed to one-on-one duels." Xue Liancheng is very self-aware and will not humiliate himself. If one goal determines the outcome, he can still consider it.

Ten balls?

forget it!

In terms of offensive skills, offensive skills, and offensive capabilities, he can't compare to Uncle Wei in flattery.

Whether we can catch up in this life, or whether we have a chance to catch up, is a huge question.

because.

Uncle Wei's breakthrough ability is definitely of historical level, there is no doubt about it.

Comparatively speaking, his breakthroughs all rely on pushing, hard pushing, and there is no skill at all.

Against those slender defenders, he has an absolute advantage, but for a player of Wade's size, although he can push, he is really reluctant.

Because Wade weighs nearly 100 kilograms.

That's right!

Not much lighter than him.

But Uncle Wei doesn't look fat, he is very fast and his explosive power is amazing.

This is weird!

I don't know if Uncle Wei's weight has grown on his cheeks.

of course.

If we compare the strength of his upper and lower limbs, he should be a little bit stronger than Uncle Wei.

So, each has its own pros and cons...

Uncle Wei laughed, "If you can't beat me, you can't beat me. You're a chicken if you object..."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Brother!

Is it necessary to be so straightforward?

You can't save some face for the little brother!

Seeing Xue Liancheng's defeat, Uncle Wei raised his eyebrows, feeling quite proud, "How about... I'll teach you two moves."

Xue Liancheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

But it quickly dimmed again.

When he first came to Miami, he hadn't thought about asking Uncle Wei for a few tricks. He even wanted to do it for a while, but after practicing together, he wanted to do it.

He found that the famous Mizongbu was not suitable for him.

Because Wade's lost step is a combination of fast and confusing.

At the same time, the speed is extremely fast, and the direction is drastically changed, confusing the defenders while advancing, allowing the defenders to leak their flaws. At this time, Wade's amazing explosive advantage came out, like a speeding truck, swishing past.

But the premise of all this is.

--quick.

Not only should you start quickly, but you should also be fast after passing people. In just one or two steps, you can directly hit the basket.

And what he lacks most is speed.

If the speed is not fast, then it is still a matter of imitation.

Seeing Xue Liancheng's silence, Uncle Wei suddenly became unhappy, "Hey! How many people want to learn my steps and skills but I still don't teach them. You are still hesitant?"

Xue Liancheng was filled with bitterness, "I'm not fast and I don't have explosive power. Am I really suitable to learn Mi Zongbu?"

Uncle Wei: "What's the point? What you learn is the pace and breaking the rhythm. It has nothing to do with whether you are fast or not. Even your lack of speed can be an advantage."

Why are you bluffing me?

Of course, Xue Liancheng couldn't believe such nonsense, "Dwayne, thank you for comforting me so thoughtfully, but it's really unnecessary."

Uncle Wei pulled a face and said, "I'm serious."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

He showed an expression of "Are you stupid?"

Slow speed is also an advantage?

Isn't this nonsense?

Uncle Wei was amused when he saw Xue Liancheng's dying expression, but he explained patiently, "Have you ever heard of taking three steps slower?"

"Ok?"

Xue Liancheng's heart moved.

Of course I have heard of this.

Anderson, the squirming essence of humanity, is one of them.

Some other stars also occasionally use this breakthrough pace.

“What is the essence of Three Steps Slow?”

"The first point is that there are many changes. Because the speed is low, you can have enough time to observe the defender and change your offensive options according to the defensive action made by the defender."

"Second point, as the offensive side, you have an advantage. This will help you pull the defensive players into your slow rhythm, and the opponent will not adapt and make uncoordinated moves. At this time, you can do whatever you want to confuse the opponent."

"Third point, after you slow down, you and he are not in the same channel. Some defensive players have already completed take-off, block shot, and landing before you take the second step. What you are doing is a misplaced time difference. It is easy. If you let go, you can complete the layup."

Wade patiently answered Xue Liancheng, and finally asked, "Isn't this the advantage of being slow?"

For a moment, Xue Liancheng was speechless: "..."

It seems... there is a little truth in it.

But he always felt something was wrong.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered, "The kind you are talking about can only have three steps slower in a fast attack state. Like a positional battle, it may not even be able to pass people."

In fact, he still hasn't said anything. Even if it passes, help will come soon.

He is already slow, but if he takes three steps too late, isn't he just waiting for others to flank him?

And it's a high-position attack.

Such a breakthrough has no effect and is completely in vain!

It would be better than his bulldozer style of play, which is to bully you for lack of tonnage and unstable base, and go straight into the penalty area, causing effective damage and threats.

This is the correct way to break through.

Uncle Wei didn't notice that Xue Liancheng was not interested at all, and continued, "So! What I want to teach you now is how to get ahead in positional battles."

Xue Liancheng knew that Uncle Wei had good intentions and even regarded him as his successor, so he was willing to teach his unique skills.

But he really doesn't want to learn.

With this time, he might as well practice his strength again, especially the strength of the lower body. As long as the strength is full, he can really do one trick and eat it all over the world.

He can ravage 90% of the league's defenders at will.

Although it would be difficult for him to push the remaining 9%, it was not a big problem.

There is still 1% that he can't push, so let's play pick-and-roll and make substitutions...

Uncle Wei saw that Xue Liancheng was speechless and instantly understood Xue Liancheng's thoughts. He couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, "Xue, I know what you are thinking. Do you think that with absolute core strength, you can conquer the entire alliance?" Player?"

Xue Liancheng smiled, "Although I didn't eat all of it, it was still enough."

This answer is actually a disguised rejection.

Uncle Wei shook his head slowly, and suddenly became serious, "If one day you are the boss of the team, you will know how naive your thinking is."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Uncle Wei continued, "Unless you are willing to be inferior to others for the rest of your life, then there is no need to learn."

Xue Liancheng was a little dazed.

Is this to test him?

But it doesn’t look like Uncle Wei’s expression!

The team boss took the initiative to mention the boss handover issue, which... made him feel numb for no reason.

Uncle Wei, what does this mean?

Uncle Wei saw Xue Liancheng dumbfounded and his expression became more serious, "Honestly, I know my state myself. Sooner or later, the team will be in your hands."

Xue Liancheng quickly asked, "Dewayne, what's wrong with you?"

Uncle Wei did not explain too much and said in a deep voice: "I just want to tell you that when you are the boss of the team, your defensive pressure will increase exponentially. At this time, the team is in trouble and you need to stand up. When you come out, you will know that you can't eat all the food just by relying on one trick."

Xue Liancheng frowned: "..."

Uncle Wei raised his voice, "Don't you understand? If you are the boss of the team, you will be targeted. Especially in the playoffs, other strong teams will trade players who can restrain your core strength to target you. You, at this time, what do you do?"

Xue Liancheng: "..."

At this time, he just felt like his head was buzzing.

It felt like being hit with a sledgehammer.

What the hell!

He didn't think so far!

In other words, now that Uncle Wei and Second Master Bo are here, he is not yet the leader of the team, so he doesn't think about these things.

Now hearing what Uncle Wei said, it was like a thunderbolt!

No wonder Uncle Wei said he was naive, now think about it...

It seems that I really didn't think far enough.

Mainly, he is just a rookie who has played more than ten games, and he hasn't thought about it at all.

of course.

He has thought about being the boss.

But he felt that not now, Uncle Wei could still play for another two years. This was something he knew clearly.

This was also the main reason why he didn't think that far ahead.

And Uncle Wei went on to say: "For example, in the playoffs, if I come to defend you and don't switch defenses, how will you respond?"

Xue Liancheng: "..."

He was immediately speechless.

He could barely break through Uncle Wei one-on-one, but in the game, his reluctance meant he couldn't break through.

If you squeeze a few steps, others will come to help defend you.

At this time, when you are in a high position, basically all passes will become useless passes. There is no space left. What is the use of passing the ball?

Uncle Wei did not give up, and continued to report a lot of names: "What about Kawhi? What about LeBron? What about PJ-Tucker? What about Giannis Antetokounmpo? Draymond Green Woolen cloth?"

Xue Liancheng: "..."

This time.

He was completely confused.

These people are fast, flexible, and most importantly, strong. Who can he push?

this time.

He suddenly realized that he couldn't push many of the heavy artillery forwards in the league.

What do you do when you meet these people?

As the boss of the team, can he stand up and solve the problem?

The answer is obvious.

No!

Before, he always subconsciously believed that the players stronger than him were inside players.

When facing inside players, he can completely use his footsteps, relatively light body and solid basic skills to feint past others.

For example, when he encountered Millsap guarding him when playing against the Hawks, he had a very clean life.

But those people mentioned by Uncle Wei above are not slow at all, and their bodies are also very flexible. Many of them are even faster than him.

Why did he break out?

It’s completely unstoppable!

At this time, he finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

If it were in the playoffs, he would be easily strangled.

and so.

What Uncle Wei said about practicing breakthrough skills seems to be very necessary.

With this in mind, Xue Liancheng resentfully said, "Dewayne, for your sincerity, I will try to learn."

Uncle Wei finally smiled, "Do you understand?"

He looks like a teachable child.

Xue Liancheng was so embarrassed: "Ahem... let's start directly!"

No matter how straightforward it is to refuse, it would be rude to lick it back.

Next.

Uncle Wei began to explain how to swing the body greatly, how to adjust the rhythm of changing directions, and how to see through the defender's intentions, such as looking at the defensive player's legs, looking at the defensive player's shoulders, and seeing where the defensive player's center of gravity is tilted.

There are also how to dribble, how to fake the ball, and how to use your body to prevent the defensive players from catching up after breaking through others and continue to defend.

and many more……

Too much.

You can't learn it in a short time, it takes time to accumulate, and at the same time, you can slowly comprehend it in the game, so that you can master it.

……

……

12 number.

The Heat flew to Utah to challenge the young Jazz.

The result was no surprise.

The Heat defeated this Western Conference player without any blood at 108:95.

The Jazz are aiming to develop new players this season, such as this year's rookies Exum, Hood, Ingles, as well as second-year Frenchman Gobert and point guard Burke.

It doesn’t matter if you lose.

But the Heat need this win very much.

Three in a row.

Let them keep their fourth position.

Xue Liancheng clocked in three quarters again, with 14 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. He was also in good shape, shooting 11 of 5 from the field.

Uncle Wei contributed 30 points and 7 assists, and was a major contributor to the win.

Bo Erye 22+9 is also very good.

Luol Deng finally picked up in this game, scoring 7 points on 5-of-14 shooting.

After the game.

Xue Liancheng took a deep look at Hayward, the king of broken legs. He originally had a bright future and was a rising star, but he was accidentally knocked down by me, Emperor James, and was given a weird smile. There is no way to get back to the top.

I don’t know if he will change after this butterfly comes.

What a pity!

Back in Miami, they only had one day off.

We are about to face a formidable enemy.

--Chicago Bulls.

Yesterday, the Cavaliers lost to the Pelicans, and the Bulls defeated the Trail Blazers. The Cavaliers are currently ranked sixth with 13 wins and 9 losses.

The Bulls are ranked fifth, with a record of 14 wins and 8 losses, only half a game behind the fourth-place Heat, which is 15 wins and 8 losses.

and so.

This game is very important. It is a key position battle. Whoever wins will be the fourth player.

At present, this bull has not withered with the withering of roses. It has to be said that Thibodeau is awesome.

The defensive system he created is top-notch, and his defensive philosophy is also famous in the league.

He believes that the protection of the basket and the restriction of breakthroughs are the absolute core.

By executing on this philosophy, he became highly respected in the league and went on to achieve success with the Timberwolves and New York.

At the same time, he is also very good at coaching players. He knows how to stimulate the strengths of his disciples and cover up their shortcomings. He is especially good at cultivating players' defensive awareness.

Players such as Butler, Wiggins, Noah and other players are defensive warriors created by Thibodeau.

but.

He has also been criticized.

That is to blame the main players. The main players' playing time can be said to be overloaded. Many fans feel distressed when they see it.

And the training intensity is so intense that many players can't stand it. Especially when they were with the Timberwolves, young people were disgusted with Thibodeau's approach.

But no matter what, Thibodeau's existence makes no one dare to underestimate the Bulls.

This game is destined to be a tough one.

And before the game starts.

The Heat received another bad news.

Mr. Bo Erye is not feeling well in his ankle and will definitely have to sit out this game.

What can be said to be afraid of.

Originally, the full lineup was facing each other, but they didn't dare to guarantee that they would win the Bulls. After all, Xue Liancheng was still in the stage of restricting his playing time. Now that he lacks Bo Erye, the situation has suddenly become even worse.

The Heat's starting lineup was the same except for Anderson, who replaced Bo Erye in the starting position.

Bulls side: point guard screw, shooting guard Butler, small forward Dunleavy, power forward Gibson, center Paul Gasol.

Since the injury, Screw's condition has plummeted, and he no longer has the demeanor of the youngest MVP.

This season, strictly speaking, Butler, who averages 20+ per game, has grown into the team's boss, forming an internal and external dual-core with Dajia.

This can be seen from the order of appearance.

Butler is now in the finale.

Before the game started, players from both sides were applying powder, giving people a feeling of gearing up.

A smell of gunpowder has filled the arena, and the war is about to break out.

Xue Liancheng glanced at Butler subconsciously.

This young guy with a bit of a lousy style of play actually made a name for himself with the Heat and reached the Finals twice. It’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance!
