The world of basketball

Chapter 97: Offensive Rebound Concept Change

Looking at the hot Paul, Mu Xiaobei felt a little hesitant. Do he really want to repeat the mistakes of the last game?
Then, Mu Xiaobei shook his head, wanting to get that bad thought out of his head, he still had to fight hard, after all, no matter how good Paul's hands were, he was only one person.

Mu Xiaobei picks and rolls for Mudiay at the top of the arc, Mudiay speeds up and kills towards the basket, Mu Xiaobei cuts outside, Kuzma goes out, and Mu Xiaobei makes a no-brainer for Kuzma near the free throw line. Ball pick and roll.

Then, Kuzma went to the basket. Tucker, who was defending Mu Xiaobei, and Kuzma's defender, Ennis, went to the basket to defend Kuzma. Kuzma threw his big hand out. Walker catches the ball.

Walker gets the ball and points out, and Mu Xiaobei catches the ball at the top of the arc and shoots directly outside the three-point line.

shhhhh--

In the last game, Mu Xiaobei's scoring was basically on the inside, and he rarely had the chance to shoot outside, but this did not affect Mu Xiaobei's touch outside the three-point line.

Harden didn't want to pick and roll from the outside, but chose to single Lonnie Walker directly.

Harden continued his extremely rhythmic dribble left and right, and then Harden dribbled the ball back from the crotch, and Lonnie Walker lunged forward.

But there was no retreat as Walker imagined. Harden suddenly accelerated to the left. Walker adjusted his center of gravity and followed.

Then, Harden spun around with his left hand and stepped back with his right foot. This time Lonnie Walker couldn't keep up anymore, and Harden shot with his left hand.

when--

Fortunately, he didn't score. Harden didn't feel good with the ball. The ball just now was completely open and the rhythm was good, but Harden still couldn't score.

Right, luck can't always be on the opposite side, the goddess of luck should always help me once.

Mu Xiaobei caught Tucker with his back in a low position, and Mudiay gave Mu Xiaobei a high-profile pass. Mu Xiaobei turned around, dribbled the ball with his left hand, and put his right hand against Tucker's chest.

Then, after Mu Xiaobei dribbled the ball and saw Capela who was assisting him, he flicked the ball to the left with his left hand, and the ball flew into Adelaide's hands.

The two sides came and went, and the fight was very anxious.

Sure enough, the three-pointers of the Rockets' shooters are no longer very hot. Except for Paul who hit four three-pointers, only Tucker hit a three-pointer.

With 6 minutes left in the first quarter, the Rockets replaced Capela and Paul with Gordon and Zhou Qi, and the Spurs replaced Walker and Mudiay with Jeremy Lin and Belinelli. rotation phase.

Mu Xiaobei mentioned that Jeremy Lin was doing a pick-and-roll in a high position, and Zhou Qi jumped out. During the period when Lin was crazy, it was D'Antoni who coached Jeremy Lin, and the two had a lot of exchanges.

Jeremy Lin knows very well what kind of energy a defender can explode under D'Antoni's system. After all, when he became famous, it was because D'Antoni gave him a chance (of course, it was also because the team's first, second or even third vacancy couldn't play. ).

And D'Antoni knows exactly what kind of energy is contained in the body of this yellow man. He deeply knows the explosive power and speed of this young man. The most important thing is that he knows how many doubts this yellow man has experienced along the way. , I also know how much this young man loves basketball, and even more know how strong this young man is.

Jeremy Lin took advantage of Mu Xiaobei's pick-and-roll to speed up and go directly to the basket. Mu Xiaobei followed and went down. Zhou Qi stretched out his long arms vigorously, waiting for Jeremy Lin's layup.

But no, Jeremy Lin hit the ball to the ground, Mu Xiaobei received the pass, faced Gordon, grabbed the ball with his big hand, and pushed the ball hard into the basket.

Harden dribbled the ball left and right, but Belinelli's defense was not outstanding, so he could only try his best not to let Harden go left, but let go of the right.

Harden accelerated away from Belinelli's defense, and then Mu Xiaobei jumped to the basket. Harden flicked his left wrist, and the ball flew towards the three-point line in the bottom corner at a strange angle.

After Zhou Qi received the pass, Ade quickly defended and rotated in front of Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi didn't stick to the ball and flew the ball to a 45-degree angle. Eric Gordon received the pass and ignored the defense. The three-point line Pull it up and cast.

when--

The ball hit the front of the basket, Kuzma protected the rebound and gave it to Jeremy Lin.

Fortunately, neither Gordon nor Harden seem to have a good outside touch, but even so, the point difference between the two teams has not widened.

This is also because Harden knows that he doesn't feel good, so he breaks through the basket more or drives his teammates.

Gordon is different. He does this job. Although his basket assault has increased a lot in the past two seasons, his main means should be shots from outside the three-point line.

Lakers star Kobe Bryant once said: Even if the first 20 shots are missed, No. [-] should make a decisive shot once.

Gordon is like that, and D'Antoni is asking him to do the same.

After all, as the champion of the three-point contest, Gordon definitely has this kind of strength.

Adelaide put his back against Zhou Qi in a low position, Jeremy Lin passed the ball safely, Adelaide used his back and hips to squeeze Zhou Qi, then turned around and fell back for a jumper.

when--

The ball hit the front of the basket, Mu Xiaobei caught Tucker, raised his arm lightly, took the rebound, and then passed the ball to the top of the arc. The defense was in place in time, but the Spurs also went back to help defend.

In a two-on-three frontcourt, Mu Xiaobei turned around and shot a jumper against Tucker. The ball still failed to hit, but Kuzma, who had just rushed to the frontcourt, rushed to grab the rebound, and then made a small throw to hit the ball. Enter.

The two teams the Spurs encountered in the playoffs were very good at playing defensive counterattacks, so Popovich sometimes made players give up rushing for defensive rebounds.

But Popovich thought it was a bit of a loss again. Why can't a 2.24 center, a 2.08 power forward, and a 2.06 small forward not be able to grab rebounds, so Popovich encouraged the players to grab rebounds in this game.

The effect was immediate. The Spurs had already scored eight points through the second attack, but now the entire Spurs team only scored 25 points in total.

Gordon came out of the pocket, Harden arrived in time with a pass, Gordon made a shot fake, Belinelli was swayed directly, and Gordon made a foul outside the three-point line against the jumping Belinelli .

It happened to be a dead ball at this time, and the Spurs replaced Mu Xiaobei and Alder, and replaced them with Gasol and Bullock.

"The first quarter of the two sides played very well, fighting wits and courage, trying to show what they are good at." Wang Zixing said.

"Yes, the Rockets' space and three-pointers, and the Spurs' inside line and patience, these are the strengths of both sides. It seems that this game should always be very anxious." Su Qun said.
