Chapter 124: Single Defending King 1
In the concept of modern basketball, centers and insiders spend less and less time holding the ball, and most of the possession of the ball is in the hands of guards and strikers. Therefore, how to correctly organize the offense and revitalize the whole team is a test of the overall quality of a ball holder. .
For Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun, their talent, hard work, and unstoppable drive for basketball are enough to gain a foothold in the NBA. If they have the opportunity to sign a contract with an NBA team and get training, then they will definitely be able to in time Mark the qualifying rotation.
But Xiaobao grew up in the slow-paced domestic league with weak confrontation, so they lacked this kind of NBA-level ball-handling quality, and these invisible and intangible so-called basketball qualities require a lot of high-level games to be able to play. Gradually cultivated.Chen Ning also lacks this ability at present, but compared to Xiao Ding and Guo Ailun, Qian Ning has his own advantages. He already has a guaranteed contract, and has Antetokounmpo's physical talent and Kirilenko's defensive skills. Stay in the NBA for a longer time to make a living.
You have to have a skill to stay before you can have the opportunity to continue to improve.
The first attack with the ball at the beginning ended in a mistake. Channing was booed again by the audience, but he smiled crookedly and didn't care.
Taking back his thoughts, Channing focused on the defensive end. For Channing at this time, although he was very eager to play offensive performance, gain more possession of the ball and everyone's approval, he also played hard. Some people's faces, but Channing clearly realizes that defense is the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the NBA.
Whether it is locking Chris Bosh, getting praise from James, or top-level defense and small ability, and forming a partial double-team duo with Iguodala, excellent single-defense ability is Channing's first business card. The development of ability takes time, but defense cannot be left behind either.
The Mavericks organized the offense, and after Devin Harris had possession of the ball for halftime, he handed it over to Jason Kidd. When defending, any defender will take the initiative to give up the right to organize.
Kidd dribbled the ball calmly outside the three-point line, observing the defensive situation, and at the same time paying attention to the running status of his teammates.
Channing bowed his back at this time and tried his best to push Nowitzki out. Everyone knew that Nowitzki's signature move was the golden rooster independent fadeaway jumper. The farther Nowitzki was from the basket, the less threatening he was.
Under the physical confrontation between the two, Chen Ning realized that Nuo Tianwang was worthy of being one of the four power forwards. Although he looked a bit soft, Nuo Tianwang had a good body, wide enough shoulders, and was heavier than Channing. very advantageous.
However, Nowitzki did not go all out to fight Channingka, but turned sideways to help Devin Harris and Josh Howard roll into the inside.
This is Nowitzki's playing style. Although his scoring method is more like a tall version of a shooting guard, Nowitzki is never in a hurry to attack personally, but gives priority to playing tactics, only when he is open or at a critical moment Nowitzki will take over decisively. This is very similar to Duncan. Both of them have top scoring ability, but at the same time they are the team's best teammates. For the team's tactics, they are willing to do screens, off the ball The so-called blue-collar work of opening up space, making up defenses, wiping buttocks, and grabbing rebounds. Playing with such a core boss is definitely much more comfortable than following a boss with a style like Kobe and James.
With the help of Nowitzki's cover, Harris successfully got rid of Willie Green. Channing had to let go of Nowitzki's close defense, took a step back to the side, and at the same time waved his hands up and down, so that he could attack Harris on the one hand. This caused a delay, making it more difficult for Kidd to pass the ball to Harris on the inside. On the other hand, it also gave up a certain amount of space. Willie Green took the opportunity to squeeze past Channing and Nowitzki, speeding up to catch up with Harry s.
In this classic defensive pick-and-roll, the importance of Channing is clear at a glance. He needs to let go of Dirk Nowitzki in time, follow Harris in the paint, destroy the opponent's air-cutting intentions, and provide smart help. Willie Green squeezed Dirk Nowitzki's screen. A useful big man needs to help the guard constantly. Of course, this kind of help defense also caused Dirk Nowitzki to relax. Kidd took the opportunity to pass the ball Nowitzki, at the same time, waved his hand to signal the others to pull away, clearing one side and giving Nowitzki a single.
As soon as he turned to face the basket after receiving the pass, Nowitzki realized that Channing had appeared in front of him again.
"Such a fast lateral movement speed. He just assisted Harris and returned to his position so quickly. It seems that he is a big man with both speed and agility."
With this in mind, Nowitzki has a rough judgment on Channing's characteristics. This kind of inside player who has both the height of a power forward and the speed of a small forward is rare. The most famous one is Kevin Garnett. .
Thinking of Garnett, who is also known as the top four power forwards with himself, Nowitzki felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone is an MVP-level power forward, and they are all "alternative" inside players who use shooting as their main scoring method. It's not fair that Tet is called hard while he is labeled as soft.
Nowitzki is good at shooting. At this time, the position of holding the ball with both hands is also very high, as if he can raise his hands to shoot at any time, but Channing turned a blind eye to this, bent sideways, and put his chest against Nowitzki's lower body The plate, stretching out the left hand to interfere, and drooping the right hand, ready to cut the ball at any time.
Such a defensive posture made Ke Fan a little confused:
"Teacher Su Qun, I have a question. Everyone knows that the reason why Nowitzki is so difficult to defend is because of his super high shooting point brought by his height, combined with his excellent shooting touch, and unique in the league. The golden rooster of this family has an independent backward jumper, super large backward, while maintaining the stability of the body, and can also have a high hit rate. Facing Nuo Tianwang, many coaches will choose to use big men or even centers to defend, and use height to fight. Interfere with his shot, but Channing used the exact opposite defensive strategy, I don't know why."
Su Qun thought for a while and said:
"I feel that it may be because he knows that no matter how he defends, it is difficult to interfere with the opponent's shooting, so Channing wants to block Nowitzki's breakthrough and not give him a chance to easily hit the ball. Betting one end at the other, there may be accidents Effect."
"But the upper three lanes are completely empty. Nowitzki doesn't need to dribble to break through, and he can easily shoot with a straight pull."
Ke Fan still felt that Channing's defensive strategy was wrong and too risky. With Nowitzki's touch, he was shot every minute.
