The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 21 21. Defense

Since Rose played the entire first quarter, as soon as the second quarter came up, the Bulls became Kirk Hinrich at point guard.

Hinrich is also a point guard with height and consciousness. He is as tall as 1.9 meters three. On the defensive end, he can even reach the position of a small forward with his body. Overall, he is about the same height and weight as Su Jiu.

However, because Rose suffered some small losses in the matchup with Su Jiu in the first quarter, Hinrich didn't dare to have the slightest contempt when he came on the court.

It can be said that Su Jiu's marking was inseparable and closely pressed.

But fortunately, Su Jiu didn't think too much of the limelight. He played the role of a 3D player conscientiously on the court, and gave more possession of the ball to Howard in the low post.

After receiving the assigned pass, he will shoot outside the three-point line when he has the opportunity, and increase his efforts on the defensive end if he has no opportunity, trying to make a better impression on Van Gundy.

"We can see that after Dwight came back in the second quarter, Sue significantly reduced his ball possession time and gave more of the ball to Dwight in the low post for processing."

"I played an off-ball role instead, but even so, he performed very well on the defensive end. He forced Cork to make mistakes a few times before."

"You have to know that Kirk has been in the league for many years. Even before the Bulls selected Derek, he has always been the Bulls' key training object."

"So Su really showed us his ability on the defensive end in this game. It can also be said that we paid too much attention to Su's performance on the offensive end in the last game, but ignored his ability on the defensive end."

"But after this game, I have a hunch that Su Jiu's name will be known by more people in the league."

Facing the Chicago Bulls, the Magic have obvious advantages on both offense and defense, especially after Derrick Rose is off the court, most of the Bulls' offense is in Ben Gordon's hands.

Ben Gordon has averaged 26 points per game so far this season and is the Bulls' leading scorer.

And Redick, who was in charge of defending him, was beaten into a sieve in a short period of time.

The whole person ran back and forth on the field, like a dog.

Redick's performance on the defensive end was also so angry that Stan Van Gundy yelled off the court.

In the end, Van Gundy was so angry that he yelled at Su Jiu on the field during an offensive and defensive transition:

"Change defense, Su, you go to defend Ben."

Hearing Van Gundy's call, Su Jiu nodded in response on the field, and then signaled Redick to switch defenses.

So when the Bulls attacked again, Ben Gordon found that the person defending him in front of him had changed from the original Redick to the recently undrafted guy who has been in the limelight.

But Ben Gordon didn't care too much. As the Bulls' top scorer, if he gave up offense because of a player's defense, then this is the biggest joke.

What's more, this player is still an undrafted rookie who just entered the league? !

However, in the next offensive end, Ben Gordon's expression changed from indifference to gradual surprise, and finally frowning.

Because Su Jiu has successfully restricted his shooting in one-on-one defense in two consecutive offensive rounds.

Regardless of whether Ben Gordon made an inward or outward shot, or what kind of fake moves he made, Su Jiu's center of gravity on the defensive end was very stable.

There is no obvious loss of position in the defensive action, which makes Ben Gordon, who can't get a good chance, can only rely on the emptiness of the pick-and-roll to make a shot that is not a good chance.

For the defensive end, this situation is already a successful defense.

"God, Sue once again defended Ben's shot in one-on-one, and in the few rounds after the switch, Ben hasn't made a field goal yet."

"He was completely different from when he was dealing with JJ before. I thought I had a high enough opinion of Su, but so far, it seems that he is still refreshing my understanding."

Karen: "Yes, the most important thing is that Su's defensive movements are very standardized. We all know that when a defensive player moves laterally, the most difficult thing to ensure is the adjustment of defensive movements and center of gravity."

"If you want to keep your center of gravity free from false moves, it will take a long time to train. Even if he is a defensive genius, he will have to pay unimaginable hard work in the late stage."

"And Su is currently so young and has just entered the league. As far as the defense in this game is concerned, he is already fully capable of building a football team with his defense."

"What's more, his performance on the offensive end is also excellent, so I really don't know what kind of courage it is that makes these teams in the draft choose to give up such an excellent player."

In the end, the commentator Karen became more and more excited as he talked. If the Magic hadn't given Su Jiu a signing contract in the summer league, then this player might have lost his life in the NBA.

And the loss of such a player in the draft is like a joke no matter how you look at it, so this is what makes Karen feel excited.

As the game continued, Su Jiu's defense against Ben Gordon was always in place. Although it was impossible to completely lock Ben Gordon and not score a point, it also greatly reduced Ben Gordon's offensive efficiency in a short period of time.

In the end, with more than 6 minutes left in the second quarter, the head coach of the Bulls really couldn't stand it anymore. He took the lead in making adjustments during the dead ball stage and took the team's main lineup ahead of time.

Otherwise, if the game continues like this, the Bulls will easily be beaten by the Magic in one quarter.

Seeing the adjustment of the Bulls, Stan Van Gundy didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, and took advantage of the trend to take the main force of his team.

The substitute players on the field were replaced, which naturally included Su Jiu.

Because Su Jiu has played a lot of time on the field, even in terms of physical strength, he should get a period of rest.

Moreover, in the perception of all coaches in the league, the biggest shortcoming of yellow players is that apart from poor physical confrontation, it is physically difficult to gallop like black players.

Although Su Jiu's physical fitness is obviously very good, but the skin of the yellow race is still fascinating.

After leaving the field, Su Jiu also enjoyed the hugs and celebrations from his teammates. Among them, Courtney Lee was even more excited and kept asking questions around Su Jiu.

"Su, why are you suddenly so accurate with three-pointers?! I remember you were not like this before!!"

"Su, when did your defense become so good?!"

"You can actually make both Derek and Ben suffer under your hands?!"

"Su, you're not taking drugs!!"

Seeing the simple-minded Courtney Lee keep asking questions in his ears, Su Jiu shook his head helplessly.

Lie down on the chair directly, cover your face with a towel, and whisper softly in your mouth:

"What a cute Tiehanhan..."

　Today I asked everyone for a hexagram. I asked the master, and I said: "How can I make everyone rich and purple."

　　The master told me like this: "Old man, let me do the math, and the brothers who voted for you will definitely be the dragons and phoenixes in the future, and they will become powerful, and even become the richest man, and it is just around the corner."
