The convulsion superstar of basketball

Chapter 228 227. This is from the same root (seeking a monthly ticket)

Seeing that the team's situation on the field is gradually at a disadvantage, although Stan Van Gundy is also full of thoughts at the moment, he still takes advantage of a dead ball stage and gradually regains his main lineup.

Faced with the substitution adjustment at this stage, Van Gundy also chose to let Su Jiu rest for a while off the court. Instead, he took the lead in taking the more energetic Warcraft Howard.

Because compared to Su Jiu, Howard's physical strength on the court will definitely be better.

So even though Su Jiu performed very well in the first quarter, Van Gundy still made an orderly arrangement for Su Jiu's rest time.

After all, after defeating the Cavaliers last time, Van Gundy also deeply realized the problem of Su Jiu's playing time.

In particular, Su Jiu still has some past injury hazards so far, so this also makes Van Gundy have to become more cautious.

Once Su Jiu has any troubles on the court, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the current Magic team.

With Howard's reappearance, the pressure on the Magic's offense has also been eased.

After all, no matter how strong Birdman Anderson's shot-blocking ability is, he is only in the upper reaches of the league in defense ability, but his low-post ability is definitely at a disadvantage in the center position.

Especially in this game, the person he is currently in charge of defending is Warcraft Howard, who has always been famous for his physical fitness.

So in this low-post defense, Anderson didn't take advantage of it at all.

Although Anderson has a height of 103 meters, his weight is only [-] kilograms, which is definitely considered lean at the center position.

Although facing most centers, Anderson can use his speed and flexibility to make up for it.

However, facing Howard, a reckless man who only used his strength to attack the basket, Anderson was beaten a bit depressed.

This also led to the birdman in this game not only not being proud of the whole field, but being completely suppressed by Howard like an old hen lying on his nest.

After seeing Howard back on the court, the Magic have clearly undergone a qualitative change on both ends of the offense and defense.

Nuggets coach George Karl couldn't help but frowned.

For George Karl, who has always disliked double-teaming tactics, it is the most correct adjustment to replace Nene on the field to try to interfere with the Warcraft Howard who is showing great power at the basket at this time.

Taking advantage of Howard fouled Birdman Anderson again at the basket, George Karl also directly took Nene.

After all, Nene has a height of 113 meters and a weight of [-] kilograms. At least if he defends Howard in the low post, he will not suffer at all.

Because no matter how you say it, it is absolutely undeniable that Howard's offense at the basket today does not have the slightest skill. He relies entirely on his brute strength and physical fitness to fight.

So as long as there is a center who can withstand Howard's tonnage at the basket, Howard's offensive efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced.

And this can be regarded as a major event that everyone in the league knows.

Seeing the substitution adjustment on George Karl's side, Van Gundy also raised his head and glanced at the time on the court.

Then, after Howard hit the first free throw, he directly took all the main players including Su Jiu.

After all, the current Magic team cannot be compared with the Nuggets. With Lewis absent due to injury, the Magic team is currently very poor in lineup depth, which also forced Van Gundy to increase the playing time of some main players.

Among them, at the beginning of the season, Pietrus averaged only 31.2 minutes per game.

But in the period since Lewis was sidelined due to injury, Pietrus' average playing time has increased to 38.1 minutes per game.

And there were a few big-score victories among them, and the main players left the game early to rest.

So it can be seen from here that when Lewis was injured and unable to play, the Magic's rotation encountered a serious problem.

Among them, this is also thanks to Pietrus's relatively grass-tolerant physical condition, and he is still alive and kicking even after playing more than 40 minutes in a game.

This kind of scene really made Su Jiu very envious, and even made Su Jiu sigh in his heart, for this kind of defensive player who only does some dirty work on the field, his physical strength is indeed stronger than the other! !

As the main players of the Magic have all returned to the field, the head coach of the Nuggets, George Karl, seems to have no plans to replace all the main players, and the whole person does not seem to be too flustered.

After all, JR Smith and Kleiza on the Nuggets bench can be said to have the strength not inferior to the main players.

So this also allows George Karl to allow the main players to get more rest off the court so that they can perform better in the next game.

After returning to the court, Su Jiu saw that the person who was holding the ball against him at the moment was replaced by the Nuggets' backup point guard Anthony Carter.

Although the name does sound like it has some background, it's Anthony and Carter, but it can be said that Anthony Carter hasn't learned anything from these two people at all.

If you really want to name an advantage, then Anthony Carter's organizational skills on the court are indeed pretty good.

And the ability on the defensive end is not weak at all, which is the main reason why George Karl did not send Billups in the first place after Su Jiu played.

Anthony Carter is only 1.8 meters tall, but has a weight of 89 kilograms. His slightly fat body also makes Anthony Carter very strong.

Not to mention facing most of the point guards in the league, even if he switches to the second and third positions, it is not in vain, at least he will not be inexplicably attacked by a wave.

Looking at Anthony Carter, who was holding the ball and observing the position of his teammates, Su Jiu also let out a sigh of relief on the defensive end.

After all, Su Jiu is quite familiar with this guy. Apart from his excellent organizational skills on the court, he is completely messed up in terms of offense.

The biggest method is probably to use one's own tonnage to forcibly seize.

Unfortunately, Su Jiu has never been afraid of this, because in the current league, it is not easy to find a player who is taller than Su Jiu as a point guard.

Because in this day and age, point guards with a height of 1.9 meters and above are definitely very rare.

Otherwise, if LeBron James makes his debut a few years later, then he can definitely serve as the team's point guard...

Seeing that there were no good opportunities among his teammates, Anthony Carter also directly handed the ball to JR Smith on the wing. On the entire bench, only JR Smith was left who could play without tactics.

Facing Pietrus with the ball, JR Smith didn't feel any tension on his face, and his continuous crotch dribbles interfered with Pietrus.

Seeing JR Smith's gaudy offensive rhythm, Pietrus is also very calm, responding to all changes without changing, and has no intention of deviating from the center of gravity.

After all, no matter how you say it, Pietrus can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. Let's not talk about whether he can guard against it. First of all, in terms of temperament, he is definitely not comparable to the current Xiao Lizi.

After continuous crotch dribbles, JR Smith also suddenly accelerated to the right.

Of course, such a sudden acceleration failed to pass Pietrus' defense, but this situation did not seem to exceed JR Smith's expectations.

So while Pietrus' center of gravity was still moving down, JR Smith suddenly came to a sudden stop and completed a very fast mid-range shot with a sudden stop.

"Shu~"

With JR Smith's shot, the Pepsi Center Arena also unsurprisingly rang out the fans' shouts.

Faced with this situation, Pietrus, who failed to defend against JR Smith's attack this time, has no regrets.

The whole person did not change his face at all, as if the defense had nothing to do with him this time.

This is not because Pietrus' psychological quality is relatively strong, but because this kind of scene of being blown up has been staged many times in Pietrus' entire career.

As long as the opponent has a knife-level scorer on the back line, the head coach will be the first to send Pietrus to defend.

This also led to the fact that in Pietrus' career, most of the matchups were legends such as Kobe, Iverson, Carter, and Tracy McGrady.

Therefore, Pietrus's defensive mentality has undergone a very big change. At least he will no longer have the helpless behavior of Xiao Lizi who is dejected because of a defensive mistake.

"Oh, isn't it just being blown up by someone, I'm used to it..."

As for the Magic, when Su Jiu held the ball for half court, it was of course Anthony Carter standing in front of him to defend him.

The reason why Anthony Carter is outstanding on the defensive end is because he has a very good physical condition.

But Anthony Carter is actually like a weakened version of Nelson. Both of them are also a little fat player. The main scoring methods on the offensive end are throws and mid-range shots.

The same is true for the two of them, that is, although their slightly fat bodies have given them strength, it has also slowed down their movement speed to a certain extent.

So when facing Anthony Carter, Su Jiu did not blindly attack, but used his own personal advantages to target him.

After continuous crotch dribbles, Su Jiu also suddenly accelerated and started from the right side. Anthony Carter on the defensive end also tried to keep his center of gravity as low as possible to ensure that he could keep up with Su Jiu's footsteps breaking through the inside.

But when Anthony Carter was still rushing down, Su Jiu suddenly pulled back just after speeding up.

Then the whole person did not hesitate at all, and directly completed a mid-range emergency stop jumper on the spot.

"Shu~"

As Su Jiu's emergency stop jump shot hit the net, Anthony Carter was a little messed up in the wind.

Because apart from being a little unreasonable, Su Jiu's ball almost made him feel a little familiar.

Suddenly thinking about it, Anthony Carter also reacted. Isn't this the same offensive method that JR Smith used against Pietrus in the last round? !

Is this he...

While Anthony Carter was a little depressed, JR Smith turned his attention directly to Su Jiu who was retreating.

"Are you provoking me?"

Seeing that JR Smith obviously had such a questioning gaze, Su Jiu smiled calmly, and looked at him without any fear.

Even when Su Jiu looked at JR Smith staring at him, but didn't let out a fart for a long time, Su Jiu shook his head very flatly, and then murmured softly:

"Hey, they were born from the same root, so why rush each other..."

　Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket! !
