NBA Backer King - Chapter 625

Chapter 625 Dayao God-level Explosion

Suns offense.

The Blazers played man-to-man and played zone defense today, putting down the defensive formation of 212 zone defense.

Pharaoh wanted the ball in the low post on the left wing.

The two-one-two zone defense is stronger for the flank defense, but not enough for the top of the arc. Nash holds the ball close to the top of the arc. The small forward Michael in the center and Payton on the right immediately move to the top of the arc, but Nash passes the ball in time. go down.

But while the ball was still flying in the sky, the Trail Blazers double-teamed, and the small forward Max, who was just about to double-team Nash, turned around and jumped down.

Pharaoh also scored a lot of shots today, but everyone was in average condition and failed to make a lot of open shots, so this time he didn’t pass the ball, and planned to do it by himself. Anyway, he still has a shooting percentage of 46.6%, ranking first in the team. .

After catching the ball, take the left foot as the axis, half-turn upwards, and step into the paint area with the right foot.

Duncan’s defense was overwhelming today, and he immediately reacted defensively. He moved his feet, turned upwards, and while keeping up with Lao Wang, he pushed up with his chest, so that even if Lao Wang forced his way in, he couldn’t get close to the basket. When it comes down, it only takes half a second to form a double team.

But the next moment, Lao Wang stepped on the floor of the paint area with his right foot, kicked it suddenly, turned his head back, swung his arms, twisted his waist and abdomen, and turned his whole body backwards instantly.

“Slip!”

Duncan was really overwhelmed with defense today, reacted instantly, and immediately turned and turned down.

But the next moment, Lao Wang turned up again, and the right foot that had just been retracted stepped into the paint area in an instant.

“Oops!”

At this time, Duncan was already overwhelmed.

Swing up, then down, and then up again, Lao Wang successfully shook Duncan, but Max had already jumped to his side, and he had no chance to get into the paint with the ball.

It’s just that at this time Nash has already cut into the paint from the top of the arc.

Two-one-two defense, two defenders on the left and right waists, two defenders on the left and right flanks, and one defender in the middle. They have a strong defense against outside breakthroughs. They can double-team the low post at any time, but only the arc The top’s defense is not enough, and the long-range defense from the outside line is not strong enough to form a regional double-team.

So when Michael, the defender in the middle, jumped down to double-team the low post, the middle part of the top of the arc was exposed, and the road from the top of the arc to the basket was exposed to Nash’s sight, and he immediately started a frontal cut.

“Old K!”

Payton and Anderson on the left and right flanks failed to block in time. Nash successfully made an air cut. When he rushed to the basket, he extended his hand to Lao Wang.

“brush!”

Pharaoh reacted quickly with a short pass, Nash caught the ball for a layup and hit a goal.

Su Qun praised: “Nash made a beautiful cut! Tie Jun’s pass is also beautiful!”

Zhang Lili said with a smile: “The best way to break the two-one-two defense is to be accurate on the outside. Like Jordan, the breakthrough must be extremely fast. Like Iverson, to prevent the opponent from forming a double-team, you must fully Use teammates’ pick-and-rolls to find opportunities for shots and breakthroughs. Use continuous passing to tear through the opponent’s zone defense. Once there is a loophole in the opponent’s zone defense, break through immediately.

And if the defender in the middle double-teams the low post, then there will be a gap in the front, and the offensive side will increase the front air cut, which is what Nash did just now. ”

The Blazers attacked, Duncan swayed up and down, and then hit the board at a 45-degree angle. The whole set of movements was honed, like a machine.

But Lao Wang predicted that Duncan would most likely not attack the basket, because this kid no longer has sufficient physical fitness, and he would probably choose to shoot outside.

“Snapped!”

When Duncan made a shot, Lao Wang, who didn’t eat it, sent a cap in time, and directly put his hands together to confiscate the ball.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Suns immediately played a fast break. Except for Lao Wang, the other four did not pull at all. Nash, Marion, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, all quickly.

Randolph couldn’t keep up with Marion at all, and Payton couldn’t keep up with Nash at all. Zhu Fangyu and Josh Howard came off the bench, with more physical energy, and even went down at full speed, rushing to the front.

Nash received the ball across the center line, but slowed down because his teammates rushed up, so he didn’t need to waste his energy, and he casually threw an overhead pass, and the ball flew over the head of Marion who had just rushed past him.

“boom!”

After receiving the ball, Marion rushed into the paint area, flew dunks, and blasted the Blazers’ basket.

“Come on, the Suns, they are only two points behind.” Su Qun shouted excitedly.

Blazers offense.

Same as in the G1 game, the Suns still didn’t play zone defense, and they still played man-to-man.

Anderson broke through Josh Howard with the ball, encountered Marion’s supplementary defense, and immediately distributed the ball to Randolph who cut to the basket.

Randolph catches the ball into the paint area and hits a small throw to face Lao Wang’s block.

“boom!”

Missed the cap, but also missed the shot. The basketball hit the basket and went up. Duncan behind him grabbed the offensive rebound, took off for the second time, and made a layup.

Pharaoh turned around in time and took off again to block the block. This time the cap arrived and he slapped the ball into the sky.

The next moment, a bunch of people under the basket huddled together, ready to grab the ball.

Lao Wang landed, jumped up in the crowd, and hit the ball to the left wing.

Zhu Fangyu got the ball and immediately passed it to Nash who had already turned around at the top of the arc, and the Suns’ fast break began.

Not many people participated in the fast break, and not many people returned to defense, because most of the two teams were under the basket. The Suns only had Nash and Zhu Fangyu, and the Blazers only had Payton and Anderson. Payton followed Nash, and Anderson Return to defense from the left wing.

In order to win the game, for the championship, Payton is also desperate. He will be 36 years old soon. Without the ball, the small universe explodes, and he barely catches up with the son of the wind.

Nash didn’t force a layup. He knew that Zhu Fangyu was behind, and when he rushed into the paint, he immediately changed direction and pulled to the left wing.

At this time, Zhu Fangyu rushed into the paint from the right elbow, and Anderson, who returned from the left wing, could only slow down, because he was completely unable to stop the opponent’s attack.

“boom!”

Passing the ball, catching the ball in the air, Zhu Fangyu dunked with both hands, and completed an alley-oop with Nash, which won the cheers of the audience.

“It’s a tie! Congratulations to Zhu Fangyu, who completed a beautiful alley-oop!” Su Qun shouted excitedly.

Zhang Lili said excitedly: “After the playoffs, it will be the Olympics. I hope our men’s basketball team can realize that great dream this time.

It just so happens that the strength of the US team is not strong enough now, the old generation has ended, the new generation has not grown up, but our strength is getting stronger and stronger. ”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Su Qun nodded excitedly.

In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley said: “From the perspective of the final quarter, the Blazers are at a disadvantage. The main problem is that the main players of the Blazers play for too long, and under the small ball tactics of the Suns, Duncan and Randolph His physical energy was consumed too much, and now his physical energy is obviously not enough.

The Blazers played a good defense in the first three quarters, and even led the Suns. Looking at it now, there will be changes in the final quarter. ”

Kenny Smith said: “The rotation of the Suns is very strong, and D’Antoni’s guts are still good. He boldly used two rookies and continued to rotate at the two, three and four positions. Stoudemire and Ma Lyon, Joe Johnson both got a lot of rest time.

This is a very important point. In the final quarter, the Suns won a physical advantage. Up to now, the Suns’ fast break ability is still very strong, and the trailblazers obviously can’t keep up with the rhythm. ”

Barkley said with a smile: “Marion can play the third and fourth positions, he can play the first substitute for Stoudemire, ensure that Stoudemire gets enough rest time, and keep the strength of the fourth position from declining.

Zhu Fangyu substitutes Marion at the third position, and Howard can also play the second and third positions, so that Marion and Joe Johnson can also get a lot of rest time.

This year the Suns have selected two good rookies. Josh Howard is talented. Zhu Fangyu was trained by old K. He has participated in his summer camp since he was ten years old. It is said that all the training content is made by old K. . ”

Kenny Smith said with a smile: “This year, two more Chinese players will participate in the draft, which has already been reported by the media. Both Yi and Sun have performed very well in the NCAA, and the prospects for the draft are great.”

Barkley laughed: “You have to ask me, I know both Yi Jianlian and Sun Le, and I even taught Yi how to play power forward, he is a power forward.”

“Oh, yes, they are all good. Yi’s draft predictions entered the lottery zone, and they were very high. K’s summer camp?” Kenny Smith asked.

“Of course, Yi entered the summer camp when he was around ten years old. Sun Le is the child of old K’s friend. He entered the summer camp when he was five or six years old. Like Yao, he is a key person trained by old K.” Buckley said familiarly.

On the court, the game continued. The Suns took advantage of their physical strength in the last quarter and gradually gained the advantage. From falling behind to tying, then overtaking, and then opening up the point gap, they finally defeated the Blazers, 92:98, winning scored 6 points.

Su Qunian said: “Old K made 11 of 22 shots today, barely 50% of his shots, 8 of 15 free throws, 30 points, 19 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 7 blocks, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. In fact, his performance is still good. Duncan and Randolph are better.”

Zhang rationally said with a smile: “Duncan scored 22 points and 11 rebounds, shooting 44.5% from the field, still limited by the iron army’s defense, and his efficiency was lower than the regular season and the first two rounds of the series.

Randolph was good today, with 20 points and 8 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was a bit higher than Duncan’s, reaching 45.5%, mainly because Stoudemire and Marion couldn’t guard him. ”

Su Qun said again: “Today, the Suns have good rebounders. Old K alone surpassed Duncan and Randolph. Although he made a little more turnovers, he blocked shots well. He blocked Duncan three times, and Randolph seemed to be three times too. .”

“It’s not rebounding and defense. The Suns were really bad today. But fundamentally, the rotation of the Suns is better. Coupled with the fast break tactics, the physical fitness of the Blazers’ two insiders has been dragged down.”

After Zhang rationally said something, he added: “Today’s state is not good, so pay attention. There are two away games next. If the state continues to fail, the Blazers will seize the home court advantage and it is very likely that they will come back.”

As soon as Lao Wang returned to the locker room, he received a comforting call from Dayao.

“Brother, you are indeed better than me. The 50% shooting rate is more than ten percentage points lower than the regular season. If you didn’t grab so many rebounds, you would lose.”

“Let me tell you, Dayao, this is what I’m good at. I don’t have enough offense and rebounds. You have to learn more. But you can’t learn it, because your rebounding is too hip!”

“Brother, what, it’s late, there is a game tomorrow, I’m going to sleep.”

The consolation failed, and he was counter-consoled. Seeing that the situation was not good, Dayao quickly hung up the phone.

“mock up!”

Pharaoh hung up the phone triumphantly.

One hour later, the media conference was held.

“Old K, two consecutive victories at home, do you want to sweep the Blazers?” A reporter asked.

“Hope is of course hope. Homeless people also have the dream of becoming a millionaire. If a person has no hope and dream, he will become a salted fish.”

Old Wang first said a sentence of chicken soup for the soul, and then immediately returned to reality, saying: “But we need to work harder

Playing in a better state, we haven’t done enough tonight, our efforts are not enough to support and realize our dreams and hopes. ”

On the Blazers side, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

“Coach Dunleavy, ever since you coached the Trail Blazers, you have never defeated a team against Old K in the playoffs. For this Western Conference Finals, the current two-game losing streak, how confident are you that you can get back at home?” A local reporter asked. asked quite sharply.

From the attitude of this local reporter, Dunleavy seemed to see the possibility of dismissing get out of class, and immediately replied forcefully: “Mr. Reporter, you should know that this is the 11th season of old K, and it is also his 11th time to reach the Western Conference Finals. Never absent from the Western Conference finals, 6 championships in 10 years, facing such a great opponent, can you find a coach who has absolute confidence in facing the old K? I bet you can’t find it.”

“In other words, you don’t have confidence.” The reporter said with certainty.

Dunleavy said in shame and indignation: “Yes, I really don’t have the confidence to get back at home. We have too many injuries inside, only relying on Duncan and Randolph for support, and there is no better substitute. They play too much time and are constrained by the Suns. The team’s fast-paced offense and defense, and physical fitness can’t keep up. In this situation, I really don’t have confidence.

Then if you can find a head coach who is confident in defeating the old K, you can suggest a coaching change to the management, and I will abdicate. ”

The reporter shook his head helplessly. If he wanted someone to choose, he would have already done that.

On the 21st, the Suns departed at noon and flew to Portland.

That night, Pharaoh called a group of teammates to watch the Eastern Conference Finals together in a bar in the hotel.

Before the start of the game, he called Dayao and said, “Dayao, don’t be lore this time. Being lore-killed by opponents in succession will easily destroy morale.”

“Brother, I’m okay, my mental quality is not that bad.”

“Does that mean thick-skinned?”

“Brother, why are you getting less and less able to chat?”

“Stop talking nonsense! Dayao, let me tell you, it seems that there has never been a history of consecutive lore kills in the Eastern Conference Finals. Don’t break this record, you will show your face when the time comes!”

“Don’t worry, brother, I’m in good shape today. When I just warmed up, I hit 28 consecutive three-pointers. By the way, brother, how many consecutive three-pointers did you hit during training?”

“what?”

Old Wang hurriedly hung up the phone, this Dayao is becoming less and less able to chat now.

“Wow, hit again, old K, it’s only the second quarter, what number is Yao’s three-pointer?”

“Like the second one?”

“The third.”

“Count him three.”

“I made 10 of 10 shots, 3 of 3 three-pointers, and he hasn’t missed a single shot today. Yao is crazy tonight. This is the Eastern Conference Finals!”

“Old K, Yao might score 50+ today!”

“Impossible, his offense doesn’t have that explosive power.”

An hour later, there was a lot of yelling in the bar.

The Army Aviation Arena is in full swing, the Nets are playing against the Pistons, and the atmosphere is very hot.

Dayao came out to shoot. Although Daben followed up in time, facing a super-high fort, there was no way to defend, and small moves were useless, because Dayao’s hand feeling exploded today.

By the 11th minute of the second quarter, he made 11 of 11 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, including 3 three-pointers. He had scored 27 points.

After the second quarter, the Nets led the Pistons by 16 points at halftime, a great advantage.

Soon after, the second half began.

Dayao’s hand feeling declined slightly. He missed the first three-pointer in the third quarter. He immediately shortened the range and started another round of bombardment with a mid-range shot.

Kidd crazily provided shells for Dayao, and Dayao shot crazily. He took as many as 9 shots in the third quarter, hit 6 of them, and made 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 15 points in a single quarter and 42 points in three quarters. The team led by 24 points in three quarters and crushed the Pistons.

But the Pistons did not surrender. They wanted to take advantage of Dayao’s physical decline in the last quarter to make a comeback. However, under the leadership of Kidd, the Nets maintained their advantage in the score and successfully won the G2 game, drawing a one-to-one tie with the Pistons.

Dayao played a total of 41 minutes, 18 of 23 shots, 78.2% shooting, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, 46 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 3 fouls. luxury data.

“Dayao, such a good opportunity, you actually only took 3 shots in the last quarter, isn’t it good for 50+?” Lao Wang called after the game and asked.

“50+ is of course delicious, but winning is the first!” Dayao said.

“Fart! With so many leads, it’s guaranteed to win. What are you afraid of? Kidd passed you the ball, let you shoot, and you passed it again. Are you out of your mind? Don’t miss the opportunity next time, 46 points and 50+ 50+ in the Eastern Conference Finals is an honor, but 46 points is nothing.”

“Understood, brother, I won’t miss it next time.” Dayao said quickly.

“Do you think such a good touch is easy to touch?” Pharaoh said angrily.

“Don’t worry, brother, there will definitely be a chance.”

Dayao also felt a little regretful. Kidd was indeed still passing the ball to him later, just to let him score points, but he was worried that he would be accused of scoring points.

Just after hanging up the phone, Kidd next to him said, “Did the old K tell you?”

Dayao nodded, then shook his head regretfully.

Kidd said: “I feel sorry for you, such a good opportunity.”

Speaking of this, he turned to him, motioned Dayao to bend his ears, and said in a low voice: “Old K has the most experience in stats. He is the strongest stats king in the history of the league other than Chamberlain. Even Jordan can average 50 points per game, and he can use statistics to make people speechless. Dayao, you have to learn a little bit. If you learn 10% of his ability to score statistics, you can leave your name in history .”

“Puff!”

Da Yao burst out laughing, overjoyed.

“Ah owe!”

Old Wang sneezed and muttered, “Which **** is speaking ill of me behind my back?”

“Ah owe!”

This time it was Kidd’s turn to sneeze.
