Chapter 13 What should come is still coming

Play to your strengths and attack your enemies' weaknesses, which you should do on the basketball court!

Ji's agility and speed are his greatest strengths, and combined with his projection ability, he is very powerful on the offensive end.

However, it is not impossible to limit him, the old coach knows that Ji Guoyi's ball-holding offense and back-to-back shooting ability are not available. Therefore, if you send a high number three or a flexible number four, close to him and prevent interference from him to receive the ball, you will naturally be able to limit him.

Want to shoot? You have to have the ball in your hand.

Five minutes later, the elder Dunleavy began to shift his attention from his younger brother to his elder brother Ji Guoqiu.

At this moment, in the heart of the old Dunleavy, although Ji Guoyi has high potential, he is far from being able to compare with Brand at this stage, and the old coach positions him as an important rotation player on the inside, and he will definitely give him enough playing time, but don't think about it as a starter. Ji Guoqiu and Kaman's choice really made it difficult for him!

Ji Guoqiu has more potential and is more suitable to partner with Brand, but Carman has played in the NBA for four years, has rich experience, solid basic skills, and better offensive ability than Ji Guoqiu, which makes him unable to choose which starter to use?

In this training match, Ji Guoqiu still showed his superior defensive ability, and Karman was very uncomfortable to prevent, and only scored 2 points in five minutes.

Ji Guoqiu pulled it out again this time to cover the outside players, Parker himself was fast, someone was covering, and he immediately burst in.

Carman didn't go up and switched to Parker on the inside, not giving the opponent a chance to attack the basket. It can be seen from this defense that Kaman's pace is not fast enough, and he can't prevent the line, so he can only stay near the three-second zone of the lower line, and the defensive area is far less wide than Ji Guoqiu.

How far can an inside line be guarded? How big is his defensive zone? This is also a key point to measure the strength of interior defenders, like Wolf King Garnett, who can even defend the three-point line at his peak, which is terrifying, and the benefits to the team are beyond words.

Parker burst to the basket, faced Carman's under-the-basket defense, and turned to pass......

Ji Guoqiu received the basketball at the free throw line and immediately raised his hand to shoot.

With a "bang", the basketball swiped into the basket!

Ji Guoqiu's shooting benefits from his long arms, coupled with his fast shooting speed and jump height, it is difficult to be blocked, although there are not many shots, the accuracy is very good.

"My brother should be allowed to practice low-post attack, and the distance in this hand cannot be thrown away, and his strategy ability is also the focus of development." After seeing Ji Guoqiu's Zhongtou, the old Dunleavy had secretly set the direction of future cultivation in his heart.

"As for the younger brother, he should be allowed to practice his back turn shooting, he doesn't need low-post skills, that will overlap with his brother's position. He'll need to add high post breakaways, back-to-back jumpers, and his current three-point and mid-range stacks, which would be a terrifying scoring machine. ”

The old coach was immersed in a beautiful vision for the future, and suddenly there was an oozing scream on the court, which made him "chuckle" in his heart, and a bad feeling immediately spread all over his body.

The players on the field are now all gathered together, and the elder Dunleavy can't see who is injured? But at first glance, he saw the twin brothers in the crowd, both of them were fine, and the most fearful thing was finally put down.

The old coach himself didn't realize that although the two brothers had only joined the team for half a month, before they knew it, their status in his heart had quietly risen to the highest.

Dunleavy Sr. arrives at the scene, disperses the crowd, and finds their star of the game, Elton Brand, lying on the ground!

"What's going on, where is the injury?" He was just concentrating on how to raise the two brothers, but he didn't notice when Brand was injured?

"How the hell did it hurt?"

The assistant coach saw what happened and replied: "When Brand was grabbing the rebound, he stepped on Margeti's foot, and it looked like he was hurting a lot. ”

The two brothers Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guoyi couldn't help but glance at each other, and the younger brother said maliciously in his heart: "It's really fate, this time it was injured a month earlier than the previous life, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, maybe he didn't hurt his Achilles tendon this time?" ”

"You can just gloat in your heart, don't show it on your face, it will annoy you." Ji Guoqiu hurriedly warned his younger brother, this guy is a little unpredictable, maybe he will do something?

"I'm not stupid, do I need to squeeze two tears to show my grief?" Ji Guoyan is in a very good mood at the moment, the competitor in the same position is injured, if you want to say that another person is unhappy, it can only be said that this person is extremely hypocritical, or he is really tall and tall, and he is a stupid hat.

Brand's face was covered with sweat, the team doctor's face was solemn, and the players guessed that it was probably not a minor injury, and some people had even prayed.

In such a situation, it is natural that the training match cannot continue.

The elder Dunleavy now regrets that Brand has not really regained his temperament since his vacation, and although he has not put down physical training at home, this does not guarantee that he will be able to accept high-intensity competitions at once.

It was the same with Kaman, who hurriedly finished the training session and couldn't afford to let the other starter get injured as well.

That night, the Clippers' official website published a sad news that made Clippers fans sad that their team core, Elton Brand, was injured during practice and was diagnosed with a "ruptured left Achilles tendon" and will be out of action for at least 6 to 8 months before he can return to the court.

As soon as the news came out, the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers were full of grief, the previous season was Livingston, and now it was Brand's turn, they couldn't help but wonder, is the team cursed by the devil?

The captain is reimbursed, and now the team really has no hope for this season......

On the other side, the Los Angeles Lakers fans are applauding, and the more unlucky the team in the same city, the happier they are.

Broken Boat is such a reliable star, and it is almost reimbursed before the season has started, which is very happy, to see if they are the first or second from the bottom this year?

Dunleavy Sr. spent the day in the hospital until he returned home in the evening, and all that was on his mind that day was: "Brand is almost reimbursed, how is the team going to play this season?" ”

"Reuse twin brothers?"

Ji Guosha started in place of Brand? Apart from this option, he also has no other players at his disposal. And Ji Guoyi himself is also a rookie with great potential, although in the old coach's opinion, let him start a little early, but now there is no one who can replace Brand temporarily, it is better to cultivate newcomers in the team.

Ji Guoyi started in place of Brand, and then there is a more difficult question to choose, that is, Ji Guoqiu or Kaman, which one should be chosen?

Old Dunleavy didn't make a decision before going to bed, maybe it's not too late to make a decision after looking at Ji Guoqiu and Carman's table in the preseason.

In five summer league games, the Clippers did not slump under the bad news of Brand's injury, but instead played excellent performances with a group of benches under the leadership of the twin brothers.

On July 13, the Clippers face the Trail Blazers, who drafted the top prize this year, Oden the Great.

This 19-year-old guy with a 29-year-old face is the ugliest guy in history, uglier than LeBron James, but he has a super explosive body!

Before the game, the media deliberately provoked and instigated this champion Lang, and exaggerated the words of Ji Guo that no one was in his eyes and relayed them to this champion several times.

Auden was furious when he heard this, saying that he wanted to show No. 30 to see why he was the champion, and the Chinese could only be the last show.

However, when Oden was on the field, it was not Ji Guoyi who was opposed, but Ji Guoqiu, who was innocently lying on the gun.

Auden said that he couldn't tell who Ji Guosha was? Since they all look the same, it's better to be the one who is the one who is in the right position.

Champion was ready to clean up this outspoken guy, but after the fight, he found that it was not so smooth.

First of all, in terms of strength comparison, Ji Guoqiu is only 230 pounds, but Auden the Great has a terrifying weight of 280 pounds and a height of 213cm. It stands to reason that with such an advantage, it is completely possible to crush the opponent! But Auden's low-post ability is too shabby, and his scores basically come from violent dunks, baskets, free throws, empty catches, and leaks, but looking through his arsenal, there is absolutely no "low-post strong attack" skill.

Under the basket, Auden the Great squeezed twice in a row to the three-second zone to shoot, and under the influence of Ji Guoqiu's super long arm span, he missed the basket.

Aldridge did not play today, and Ji Guoyi's defensive pressure was not high, so the defensive end frequently included Auden the Great.

Oden doesn't have the individual ability of Brand, who can prevent the bag in advance and shoot before the encirclement. Every time Oden holds the ball for more than two seconds, he will find that he is dazzled, and two identical people will appear in front of him, as if he has seen a ghost!

So the champion tragedy, under the defense of the twins who seemed to be a person with tacit understanding, Oden made 5 mistakes in the half, which can be described as a big ugly!
