I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Xu Liang is on the stage

I saw Duncan’s upper body exert force, first suppressing Karl Malone’s figure, then half-turned to dribble to the inside and start to break through.

Of course Karl Malone has also been mixed for so many years and he is not a vegetarian.

made a defensive choice at the moment Duncan began to exert his strength, and he got Duncan’s advance route in advance.

And after Duncan felt blocked, he reacted instantly, quickly turned 180°, slid into the three-second zone, and then directly relied on his wingspan to complete the dunk.

Duncan won the first round.

Malone was beaten by Duncan, and there was not much emotional change.

After all, he spent so many years in the league, and it was in the 90s when super centers were born in large numbers.

Malone has seen too many talented insiders. Although Duncan’s performance is very good, but not to the point where Malone is very surprised.

After all, judging from the offense just now, it can only be said that Duncan’s basic skills are very good, and the inside footwork is very flexible.

But the explosive power of physical fitness, the most obvious feature of genius, was not shown in the attack just now.

fought again, the Jazz began to operate their own pick-and-roll system.

The Jazz pick-and-roll is not just a collaboration between Stockton and Malone, but a collaboration between the entire team.

Although the initiators were Stockton and Karl Malone, the other members of the Jazz continued to actively move.

Find your own suitable offensive position.

And their role is to complete the offense after Stockton and Malone have attracted enough defense and passed the ball out.

Stockton dribbled the ball to initiate a pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Malone slightly stuck Stockton’s defender Johnson.

then quickly moved to the free throw line against Johnson.

And Stockton quickly cut inside after passing Malone’s pick and roll.

quickly attracted Duncan’s defense, and then attracted Duncan to a sufficient inside depth, then turned and passed to Karl Malone, who was already stuck at the free throw line.

then quickly moved to an angle of 45°.

At this time, Malone had a very good shot at the free throw line.

Just when Malone was about to take a shot, David Robinson came in from the inside.

And Malone reacted in a timely manner, quickly passing the ball into the hands of Greg inside, and Greg dunked directly.

And Duncan actually quickly began to move inside to cover Greg when David Robinson was covering up.

It’s just a little late, because Duncan was slightly blocked by Stockton while moving.

And even if Duncan’s defense was in place, Greg could quickly pass the ball to Stockton.

Because Stockton blocked Duncan a little bit. He quickly reverted back to the 45° angle, ready to receive Greg’s pass at any time.

And at this time, Johnson’s position was blocked by Malone just now, making it impossible for him to make up the defense after Stockton might receive a pass.

The entire Jazz’s pick-and-roll offense is very smooth.

After all, it is an old team member who has cooperated for so many years, and the tacit understanding between the five people is very high.

And Duncan’s defensive reaction just now was quick enough.

But the defensive rapport between Duncan and David Robinson has not yet been fully developed.

Turned back to the Spurs for offense, and in the second round of offense, the defensive player’s matchup changed.

Defending Duncan’s offense in the low post became Greg, Malone chose to follow David Robinson to the mid-range position.

Duncan faced Greg, and his back attack became more familiar.

After all, Greg’s defense is very similar to Xu Liang.

So this time Duncan’s offense is actually simpler.

It’s just a few footsteps to avoid Greg’s defense and start hooking shots.

At this time, Malone quickly moved to the inside to cover the defense, Duncan also quickly passed the ball to David Robinson, who came in from the middle distance.

David Robinson also started to attack inside when Malone moved inside.

After receiving Duncan’s pass, he dunked the goal directly through Karl Malone.

In the next few rounds, the offense and defense between the Jazz and Spurs has been a repetition of the previous rounds.

The Jazz lacked a strong enough top defensive player inside.

makes it impossible to prevent the impact of Duncan and David Robinson on the basket.

And the Spurs are not good enough because of Duncan’s defensive understanding with the entire team.

will always be a little bit slower in a certain period of defense, making the Jazz’s pick-and-roll system run very smoothly.

In the 6th minute of the first quarter, neither coaches called a timeout and went directly to the official timeout.

The score game between the first two teams was suspended at 13:15, the home team was behind the visiting team, and the Spurs trailed by two points.

After the timeout ended, Xu Liang replaced David Robinson.

Xu Liang started his first NBA regular season.

And during the time-out just now, Popovich explained that Xu Liang will be the core of the tactical system next, and Xu Liang will take the ball at the top of the arc to conduct the tactical system command.

After 　　 came back from a timeout, the Jazz’s starting player did not change.

The Spurs’ starting players have not changed except for Xu Liang’s replacement of David Robinson.

The first offense that came back from a timeout was given by the Spurs.

Johnson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and directly handed it to Xu Liang who was standing at the top of the arc~www.mtlnovel.com~ and Malone put more defensive energy on Duncan, who had fallen to the low post.

So I didn’t care too much about Xu Liang standing outside the three-point line.

This leaves Xu Liang enough shooting space.

Xu Liang was not polite, and directly raised his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

At the moment of the shot, Xu Liang felt that today’s three-pointer feels very good.

As expected, Xu Liang’s first three-pointer shot, hitting directly in the complete open space.

And Xu Liang’s three-pointer made Jerry Sloan, the head coach of the Jazz, a little surprised.

After all, the NBA 3-point line this season has re-lengthened to more than seven meters.

All the shooters in the team did not adapt very well, and Xu Liang, a heavy insider, even made a steady three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

It’s just that Xu Liang’s three-pointer was an accident, or Xu Liang himself has such a strong projection ability remains to be seen and verified.

And the Spurs players on the court are no surprise, after all, Xu Liang’s three-point ability has been seen by them in the past few months of training.

Looking at it now, Xu Liang’s three-point ability relies on his soft touch and sufficient length and wingspan.

Compared with some top three-point shooters, Xu Liang may still be a little bit behind, but he is also considered to be the top three-point shooter in the league.

And the Jazz players didn’t froze for long, quickly re-serving the ball and launching an offense.

came to the defensive end, Xu Liang dropped directly to the low post, stuck with Greg.

The defense of Duncan and Johnson has also changed.

After Johnson was blocked, he no longer went in with Duncan to change defense, but chose to squeeze directly to chase Stockton.
