One Guard - v3 Chapter 844
Ty Gibson, he is definitely the kind of player that all coaches desire. This kind of big man who is physically strong and can shoot is simply born for this era.
“Today Old Dirk returned to the starting position, but his performance was not satisfactory. Against Gibson, who can both attack the frame and shoot the basket, he seemed a little powerless.”
“Coach Carlisle should bring Rudy Gay back. Guy’s performance in the last few games is obvious to all. Compared to Dirk, at least he will not be led by Gibson.”
Everyone knew that Carlisle was going to change, but when the timeout ended and the Mavericks players stepped onto the court again, everyone was stunned.
Carlisle did change, but it was not Rudy Gay, but Kyle Kuzma!
“It’s actually Kuzma!? Kuzma was indeed a power forward when he was in college, but since entering NA, coach Carlisle has always let him play at the third position. Today, he is back at the fourth position against Gibson. Kuz has Is it a chance?”
Although Kuzma has proven that he is not just a late first-round rookie, but his ability is still not reassuring. Compared with Mitchell, Kuzma’s performance is a bit unstable. For example, in the game against the Pelicans yesterday, Kuzma’s shooting percentage was terrible and he did not score in double figures.
“Remember what I told you, Kuz. Be patient and don’t worry.” After playing, Yiyang whispered a few words in Kuzma’s ear.
No one knows what Yiyang and Kuzma are muttering, but Gibson doesn’t care. No matter who the Mavericks change into the fourth position, it is a dead end, let alone a rookie.
Gobert sent a baseline ball and Yiyang controlled the ball to advance. Everyone in the Timberwolves has a murderous look in their eyes, as if they are really a pack of evil wolves.
After five minutes of the game, the Timberwolves still controlled the pace of the game, which undoubtedly boosted their confidence. However, the control of the game can change hands at any time.
Outside the three-point line, Yiyang passed the ball to Mitchell, but he borrowed Gobert’s off-the-ball cover to the right corner.
After Yiyang was in place, Mitchell returned the ball to Yiyang. Yiyang held the ball and forced a breakthrough along the baseline. Jeff Teague was not Yiyang’s opponent from speed to body.
Yiyang reached the basket, and Towns had no time to retreat, and Gibson volunteered to make up for it.
Seeing Gibson made up to the basket, Yiyang did not stupidly hit the rim anymore. Yiyang has not forgotten the picture of Hayward being taken. He is a pass on the ground! The basketball passed through the gap between Gibson and Teague, and after rebounding, it fell steadily into Kuzma’s hands at the 45° mid-range position.
The reason why Gibson dared to make up for Yiyang is because he has the confidence to defend back again. A rookie like Kuzma, as long as a little interference, the shooting will not work.
Gibson rushed forward, but Kuzma’s shot was still decisive. Calm, composed, and not hurried, he didn’t even blink his eyes when he saw Gibson rushing towards him.
Gibson estimated that he was wrong, he was still a step slower, when he pounced in front of Kuzma, the orange Spalding basketball was already flying into the air.
“Don’t enter, don’t enter, don’t enter…” Gibson thought silently in his heart. It was very embarrassing to be scored in the head by a rookie.
However, God, he must be busy with other things when he came, and he did not respond to Gibson’s call. Kuzma made a hollow shot into the net and made a two-pointer!
“A good shot, you score as soon as you play! Gibson thought Kuzma was as slow as Dirk. In fact, this all-around forward who can play well at the fourth position is not so easy to defend!”
Gibson shook his head, he was careless about the ball. But it doesn’t matter if that little guy takes two points, as long as he is more careful afterwards, there is no problem!
Kuzma’s defense is not good enough, which is a well-known shortcoming. Although this guy is still working hard, even with Yiyang’s guidance, defense of this kind of thing cannot be practiced in a day or two.
Therefore, Jeff Teague still found Gibson with this goal. Asking Gibson to play this poorly defensive rookie is simply sending points.
Yiyang was restrained by Teague beyond the three-point line. With Downs’s threat, Gobert could not make up for it without authorization. If you let Downs open it, the trouble will be bigger than Gibson!
Gibson turned to the frame with the ball and made a few three-threat steps. This guy may not look so “sporty”, but he has a lot of brutal dunks in the game. After shaking a few times, Gibson broke through with the ball! However, he had just taken a step, Kuzma sank his focus, stretched out his hand, and stabbed the basketball in Gibson’s hand!
“What!?” Gibson didn’t expect this kid to react so quickly, and his experience in the third position made Kuzma develop the habit of many perimeter players. For example, reach for the ball.
The basketball is out of control and left unattended. At this moment, Mitchell jumped and pressed the ball tightly under him. Positivity, this is why Yiyang likes these little guys.
Of course, the Timberwolves also have a player who refuses to admit defeat-Jimmy Butler. This guy’s desire for victory is like a bone to a mad dog. He rushed towards Mitchell, not caring if he was hurt or if he hurt others.
The two made a ball on the floor, but Mitchell still struggled to pass the ball out. After a mess, Mitchell and Kuzma two rookies successfully undermined the Timberwolves’ offense!
Butler sighed after he got up. If Wiggins and Downs could fight like other rookies, that would be great…
Kuzma received a pass from Mitchell and moved forward without fear. The chaos just now caused the Timberwolves’ defense to fail to retreat in time, which gave Kuzma a chance to take the lead.
Ty Gibson stuck behind Kuzma desperately, and this guy’s blocking ability is not weak. Just now Hayward has fully experienced Gibson’s blocking power. If Kuzma forcibly attacked the frame, it would be difficult for him to score even if he was not blocked.
But just after he stepped into the three-second zone, Kuzma was not obsessed with scoring, but passed the ball back without looking back.
“Pass!?” Gibson didn’t expect a rookie to be so calm in the fast break. Yiyang’s reminder to Kuzma played a huge role.
Some words from others are nonsense, but when they are spoken from Yiyang, Kuzma will seriously think about it and put it into practice.
When Gibson turned his head, Yiyang had already risen into the air, and under his nose he staged a violent dunk with both hands.
Due to excessive inertia, Yiyang’s **** fell on Kuzma’s back. Kuzma simply ran for half the time with Yiyang on his back, with a smile on his face.
“Don’t take it lightly, continue to defend!”
“Hmm!” Kuzma opened his arms. Now, the Timberwolves won’t continue to beat Gibson.
Two consecutive goals made by Kuzma, the Mavericks instantly overtake the score. Although since entering the Mavericks, Kuzma has been playing the third position. But it turns out that this guy still performs well in the more familiar position four.
A player who can play multiple positions and perform well is definitely very popular in this era.
Kuzma’s appearance turned the situation around in an instant. The Mavericks team worked very hard, especially Mitchell and Kuzma. His movements made the Timberwolves’ defense extremely embarrassing.
Looking back at Wiggins and Towns, once the game falls behind, these two guys become negative. Jimmy Butler didn’t get out of his anger. They were all young people. The two around him were still more talented young people. How could the attitude towards the game be so different?
For the Mavericks, Mitchell and Kuzma played the hardest. But on the Timberwolves side, Jimmy Butler himself is the hardest player!
However, Butler’s offense also failed. With Hayward’s full defense and Gobert’s timely replenishment, Butler repeatedly failed to hit the basket.
When the game reached the last two minutes of the first quarter, Carlisle replaced all the main players, but Kuzma, who played midway, remained on the court.
Gibson thought he had an opportunity and once again hit the basket with the ball. However, he did not stage a good show as a rookie, but took a slap in the face of Kuzma!
“Kyle Kuzma, this guy actually blocked Ty Gibson! Look, these are all opportunities to work hard!”
The basketball was received by Mudiay, and Kuzma rushed to the front court at full speed. As soon as Mudiay took the ball through the half-court, he immediately delivered the “ammunition” to Kuzma, who was in the corner.
Kuzma received the basketball, but Gibson was still running desperately. Wanting to catch up with Kuzma is not as easy as catching up with Dirk.
Kuzma did not hesitate and fired directly from the bottom corner! Gibson’s remedial defense is just a gesture, and there is no way to bring Kuzma any interference.
Kuzma made 1 of 5 three-pointers in the last game. Today, he played back-to-back, and his three-pointers must not be able to go anywhere! With this mentality, the fans in the Target Center are still secretly lucky.
“brush!”
However, the tumbling sound of the Nets was so desperate that it silenced the original lively target center. Kuzma raised his right hand expressionlessly and compared three fingers.
The temperament of this cold-blooded killer really has a taste of Yiyang!
“10 points! Unbelievable, Kyle Kuzma scored 10 points in the first quarter alone, which is almost half of the Mavericks’ score! Coach Thibodeau stopped the game and the Timberwolves fell behind by 6 points. They were beaten one by one. The grade rookie stopped!”
Gibson’s face is green and humiliated by a low-ranking rookie. Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
Kuzma wearing the No. 0 jersey walked off the field ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and high-five with his teammates, with a faint smile on his face. Yiyang swung open and sat on the bench, very relaxed.
This team bid farewell to the lack of success in just one summer.
“Dirk, I think you are about to be unemployed.” Seeing Kuzma playing so well in the fourth position, Yiyang joked with his old friend Nowitzki.
“Don’t worry, there is no better mascot in the league than me.” Dirk shrugged. The German has a good mentality. He fully accepts the fact that he is getting old.
The most important thing is not whether he can play, but whether the Mavericks can rebuild their glory. This battle has to be handed over to young people to fight.
