Chapter 314 Ball Handling Ability
The Bucks' offensive and defensive system has not yet been fully constructed, and there are problems in player communication and rotation. After only two simple pick-and-rolls, Xu Tian got a big open opportunity.
Xu Tian's legs exerted a little strength, and he shot the mid-range shot almost without leaving the ground, easily scoring two points.
7-9!
Kidd was not a guard who was good at scoring when he was a player. He was good at organizing offenses. He didn't know the thoughts of players with excellent shooting ability. The defensive scale was loose and had no restrictive effect.
Xu Tian observed Brother Antetokounmpo for two or three rounds, and roughly confirmed that the defensive method he had imagined before was correct.Try to let Antetokounmpo take a step and a half, give him shooting space, and limit the breakthroughs he depends on for a living.
Antetokounmpo holds the ball at the top of the arc, and seeing Xu Tian let him go, he intends to shoot to stand out, but unfortunately he doesn't have this brush, so he can only cross the ball to Middleton on the right, allowing the threatening outside shooter to attack.
George has studied Middleton a lot, and he knows that he is a great threat outside the three-point line, so he sticks to it and does not give him space to shoot.
Looking at the Lakers' targeted defense, Kidd immediately understood that they had made sufficient preparations for this game. Unfortunately, they didn't have any defensive players who could match the Lakers' three perimeters, so they could only wait and see.
The defense Middleton faced was very aggressive. He was completely blocked from the passing route, held the ball for a long time, and still did not flash out of the offensive space.In desperation, he chose to shoot directly against George's defense.
George had been prepared for a long time, bounced up faster than Middleton, and blocked the shot head-on.
Middleton got closer to the ball, caught the dropped basketball, and tried to pull up to shoot again.It's a pity that 24 seconds came first, and the Bucks violated the rule.
Kenny Smith said: "I think the overall defense of the Lakers has become stronger. I don't know if it's my illusion or what's going on."
Barkley said: "You are right. The current offensive and defensive statistics of the Lakers are ranked in the top five in the league, and the strength list is ranked in front of the Cavaliers, second only to the Warriors and Spurs. But if I were asked to rank, I would rank the Lakers The first one."
"Charles, your prediction is basically not accurate," Kenny Smith said with a smile, "Don't rank the Lakers at the top of your list, otherwise it will be easy to put the Lakers in the abyss."
It's not that Barkley doesn't understand the situation in the NBA, it's just that for the effect of the program, he often sings a little bit against the tune.Now it's not a program to discuss the NBA, but I will explain it in detail.
The Lakers showed the strength of the league's top teams, suppressing the Bucks on both offense and defense, and gradually taking the initiative on the scene.
The task given to Kidd by the Bucks boss is to lead the team into the playoffs, and this game does not need to be won.But in order to train Antetokounmpo, Kidd didn't say anything before the game, only saying that Kobe appreciates young people with fighting spirit and let Antetokounmpo work hard to win.
With 7 minutes and 06 seconds left in the first quarter, Xu Tian grabbed the defensive rebound that Antetokounmpo missed, made a long pass to the frontcourt, and quickly cooperated with the galloping George.
George took the ball in the frontcourt, ran two steps to start, and completed a powerful dunk.
Lakers 21-14 Bucks.In the past period of time, the Lakers played a 16-5 spurt to overtake the score.
Kobe was plagued by a shoulder injury and basically didn't make many shots. He only ran a few rounds on the court and then came to the sidelines to rest.The fans at the scene knew that Kobe played forcibly for them, and no one asked for anything.
Scott said: "I will go to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers tomorrow night. If possible, I will kill the suspense of the game as soon as possible."
Xu Tian wiped his sweat and said, "Coach, as long as the offense and defense are executed well, the score will naturally give back, there is no need to say that."
Scott did not expect Xu Tian, who was once defiant, to say such modest words, and said with a smile: "Xu, you have matured a lot. Let's not talk about tomorrow's affairs. In the next offensive and defensive rounds, try to block Brother Antetokounmpo and stagnate the Bucks' offensive system." .”
Nance Jr. asked: "How to deal with Jabari Parker? His offensive ability is very good and he has a great threat. Does he need to double-team the defense?"
Scott said: "You defend alone!"
Tyson Chandler patted Nance Jr. on the shoulder to reassure his inside partner: "Larry, don't worry about defending. I still have the energy to help defend against Miles, and I can guarantee that there will be no problems in defense."
After all, Nance Jr. is a rookie, and with the support of Big Brother, he is naturally relieved.Even if you can't prevent it, you don't have to be blamed.
Kidd adjusted his offensive tactics, letting Mayo and Jabari Parker play the main role, and Middleton assisted. After the three broke the Lakers' defensive system, they handed over to Antetokounmpo to play.This offensive tactic is similar to what James often uses.
After the timeout is over, players from both sides return to the field and continue to attack and defend.
Mayo plays the main role and naturally adjusts to the point guard position, while Antetokounmpo moves to the third position.
What Xu Tian needs to defend on the defensive end is Brother Antetokounmpo, and then take a step and a half to make a breakthrough from a distance.
Mayo and Jabari Parker played a pick-and-roll, replacing the defender in front of him, allowing Jabari Parker to face Clarkson's defense.
Clarkson's scoring ability is very good, and his defensive ability is relatively weak, but he still tries to block Jabari Parker as much as possible and prevent him from going down.
Mayo is a shooting guard anyway, changing direction and shaking in front of the continuum, forcing Nance Jr. to gradually retreat into the paint area.
Brother Antetokounmpo stood outside the three-point line. Although there was no threat of shooting, after all, his offensive ability was there, and Xu Tian was still restrained.
Nance Jr. is a power forward, and his agility is not as good as Mayo's. After trying to defend for a long time, he was still swayed away.
Mayo received the ball in the paint area, easily pulled up the shot, and scored two points steadily.
21-16!
Tyson Chandler, the mainstay of the Lakers' defensive system, took the initiative to high-five Nance Jr., encouraging him to continue to defend boldly.It is normal for young people to make mistakes.
Xu Tian received Nick Young's serve, dribbled the ball to the frontcourt slowly, and greeted Nance Jr. in the low post at the top of the arc, and the two played pick-and-roll cooperation.
All the defensive focus of the Bucks is on Xu Tian, but his intention of attacking and distributing the ball is not easy to see through, which makes the double-team defense a bit slow.
Xu Tian dribbled the ball behind the open wall, quickly rushed to the paint area, pulled out Miles Plumlee's defense, and passed it to Tyson Chandler under the basket.
Tyson Chandler had a small waist injury and didn't dare to dunk. He easily wiped the board and scored two points.
23-16!
Antetokounmpo doesn't regard Xu Tian as a rookie, he tries to observe his offensive handling as much as possible, and strives to add these skills to his arsenal.
Kidd was a super point guard when he was a player. After observing Xu Tian for a few rounds, he discovered his talent in handling the ball.But it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he can't restrain this hot supernova.
Fans at the Bradley Center couldn't see Kobe, but began to appreciate Xu Tian's offensive and defensive performance.
