Chapter 504 Attacking the Kaleidoscope
Jeremy Lin is a point guard who needs the ball, but not the sticky type.His ball speed is still very fast, the disadvantage is that the shooting rate of open shots needs to be improved, and he is a little afraid of pressing.Therefore, he is not a player who can lead a team with a single core, because in terms of physical condition and ball handling ability, he is considered good among yellow people, but compared with NBA star-level players, there is still a big gap.
However, in the Raptors, none of this is a problem.By Ying Xiong's side, he has gained enough possession of the ball and can play more freely. Moreover, due to Ying Xiong's presence, the opponent will not regard him as the first priority. The less defensive pressure on him is also more conducive to his performance. .
After experiencing the difficult running-in in the first 5 games of the season, Jeremy Lin is now playing more and more freely in the Raptors.Ying Xiong played more and more without the ball, so most of the possession of the ball fell to him.
——The gap between Jeremy Lin with the ball and Jeremy Lin without the ball is unimaginable for ordinary people.
No one on the Magic can limit Yingxiong.The little-known DeQuinn Jones can't limit even a tiny bit in the face of his counterpart.
In the league, what was previously known as the "offensive kaleidoscope" is Carmelo Anthony.But now Ying Xiong's offensive comprehensiveness and efficiency are already above Anthony.
In the half-court position, Ying Xiong currently has two moves that cannot be defended at all: one is the unsolvable finisher when Crossover passes the opponent and then goes to the basket in one-on-one singles on the weak side; the other is when holding the ball. Pull up jump shot.
When changing offense, Ying Xiong is unable to defend whether it is a quick play without the ball or an attack with the ball.
Today's Ying Xiong uses flexible and weird moves on the off-ball side, whether it is running back, copying the back door, or making an emergency stop after a cover, or a fixed-point 3-pointer. Over the past few seasons, he has made rapid progress. Already at the top level.And when he has the ball, whether it is a three-threat, or a breakthrough after a tentative step, a pull-up, or a sudden stop jump shot after a continuous and large change of direction, a step-back jump shot, a feint, a turn when cutting in with the ball, etc. The turn-around jumper has already been accomplished, and it has become one of his arsenal.
Since this season, his post-up singles on the left and right waists has reached a certain level, whether it is cutting behind the back to attack the frame, or turning around and jumping back, or even catching hooks or throwing shots.In this way, his various offensive skills have basically been perfected.It can be said that there is no offensive skill of an outside player that he does not possess.
As a flank, Ying Xiong is not afraid of pressing, not afraid of the opponent's body, and not afraid of the opponent's double-team.If left alone one-on-one, he has too many ways to get the ball to the basket.He is what people often call an "offensive kaleidoscope", an offensive player with no dead ends in the court.In his fifth season in the NBA, his skills and skills on the offensive end have already matured.
Many outstanding players start to dawdle after getting a big contract, or don’t want to make progress; while some players with killer moves or "one trick" will rely on this single technology, making it difficult for other skills to achieve substantial improvement .And Ying Xiong, who has a killer move and has also won a big contract, is currently regarded as the top superstar in the league.However, he improved again during the offseason... This tireless pursuit of improvement and high demands on himself are the essential qualities of a great player.
——There is no physical quality or single skill that can make a star eat for a lifetime, even if there is, it is impossible to be a star.
Unlike role players, stars need more technical reserves. In the later stages of their careers when their physical fitness declines, technology is the only thing that can be used to maintain a high level.
And once the top-notch physical fitness is matched with excellent skills, it will be unsolvable!
Ying Xiong's transformation was very successful.In middle school and CBA, he played point guard, with passing the ball and organizing the team's offense as his top priority.When he first entered the NBA, his on-court tasks were defense and off-ball offense, with 3D players as the training direction.Now, he has transformed from an all-around player to an offensive killer in just one season.
In the game against the Magic, Ying Xiong didn't score crazy points, but he still scored 35 points in the end.The Raptors also easily defeated the opponent at home and ushered in a 4-game winning streak.After the victory in this game, their winning rate finally rose to 50%, and with a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, they returned to the top 8 in the Eastern Conference.
The strong recovery of the Raptors has caused major changes in the situation in the entire Eastern Conference.Originally, people were still worrying that the Heat would dominate the Eastern Conference.But now, the situation has become less clear again. Not only the Raptors, but the Pacers and Knicks are also strong contenders for the Eastern Conference championship.
The Raptors will have three road trips next, against the 3ers, Bobcats and Pistons.
On November 11, the Raptors visited Philadelphia to challenge the 21ers.In this game, Kyle Lowry ushered in a comeback after missing 76 games.After Iguodala left during the offseason, the 6ers are looking for the next core.And in this team, there is currently no player who has the potential to become a superstar.
In this game, Ying Xiong still played steadily, shining on both offense and defense.Now he doesn't need to grab the offensive organization as he did last season. The organization has gradually been handed over to Jeremy Lin and Lowry, so he can focus more on offense and defense.
In this game, Lowry came back and scored 13 points and 7 assists. Although his shooting percentage was not high, the fact that he could score such data in the first game of his comeback is enough to show that he is in good condition.
After resisting for 76 quarters, the 3ers finally collapsed at the end of the final quarter. They lost at home to the recently hot Raptors. Come to 50 consecutive victories.
After defeating the 76ers, the Raptors have a record of 6 wins and 5 losses, and their winning percentage has exceeded 50%.
After the absence of Iguodala, the 76ers have no one to limit Yingxiong.Neither Evan Turner nor Jason Richardson can restrict Ying Xiong. All they can do seems to be helpless fouls.
Fans of the 76ers began to miss Iguodala, but now it is useless, they can only accept the failure of the home team.
On November 11, the Raptors challenged the Charlotte Bobcats in back-to-back away games.The Bobcats won only seven games last season, the worst record in the league.This season, they won the No. 22 pick Michael Kidd Gilgeoust, but the overall strength of the team is still at the end of the league, the possibility of entering the playoffs is very small, and it is still in the process of rebuilding.
