Chapter 180 [No Solution, Foul Trouble]
The Magic offense still pulled away to let Maddie single.
With a superstar, heads-up is a simple and effective tactic that allows the star to open first, attract the bag and then distribute the ball to the open space.
Maddie held the ball in one hand and struck a "triple threat" pose.
The so-called triple threat is that this action has three threat states of passing, shooting and dribbling to the defender, which tests the opponent's judgment.
Maddie turned to the right, attracting Jefferson to half-turn and follow the defense, a step back and pulled the ball back, holding the ball with both hands and shaking it gently, Jefferson stepped forward and jumped.
Maddie immediately jumped forward, bumped into Jefferson and gently pushed the ball, and the referee blew the whistle and fouled the free throw.
Maddy made both free throws to make it 0-4.
The Nets attacked, Wang Jun continued to stand still and wait for the opportunity, and Jefferson ran on the side by covering the side.
Lawrence arranged this way because the Magic two interior lines are not slow, and it may be good to prevent interference with three points, and Jefferson has a stronger impact than Wang Jun, and can catch the ball and break through the strong attack.
In the previous game, Wang Jun was arranged to cover a lot, and Jefferson's data declined.
He was very excited, and as soon as Collins blocked Maddie, he rushed up, received a pass from Kidd on the right side, and went straight to the basket.
Unfortunately, he got too excited, went too fast, and crashed straight into Howard's arms.
As the first veteran in the NBA to win a 100 million yuan contract, Howard's defense does not rely on his body, but on his head.
As soon as the two touched, Howard fell backwards, falling as light and graceful as a dancer.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Jefferson. Second time in a minute.
At this time, Lawrence Frank was clearly inexperienced. Jefferson was not immediately replaced.
The Magic attacked, and Maddy immediately asked for the ball and then attacked Jefferson.
He caught the ball and leaned in. Turning around and taking a step towards Jefferson, he took the ball with both hands and made a "big spin", hit Jefferson's arm, and threw the ball out, but Jefferson didn't dodge it.
This was obviously Maddie's deliberate play, but he had the ball in his hand, and the referee blew Jefferson for a defensive foul without hesitation and sent Maddie to the free throw line.
Maddie hit just one of two free throws, while Jefferson had already committed three. I have to go down and rest. 0 to 5.
CCTV5's two commentators are boasting that Maddie is experienced and has a strong attack. In Wang Jun's opinion, this is a bit shameless, it is completely looking for fouls to cheat free throws.
He has just joined the league and is not used to seeing this "experience". In fact, Maddie's free throws are already few, and there are people in the league who average 10+ free throws per game in a single season.
If Wang Jun told Kidd what he thought, Kidd would definitely laugh at him for being too naïve, and he could score and cause damage, shortening the opponent's main playing time, which is the kind of player coach likes.
Break-through players. If you don't make fouls, you have to practice, Wang Jun is mainly shooting, so the coaching staff didn't arrange it.
Kittels came on early, replacing Jefferson.
The Nets attack. Kidd's pullup jumper still didn't go in, the Magic fought back, and Maddie rushed to the front.
Maddie goes to the front court to receive the ball and does not slow down. Squeezed Kittels to the inside line, strode and forced the basketball in. 0 to 7.
Maddie's strength is not weak either. The bench press is said to be 120 kilograms, and it is not afraid of confrontation. He smiled proudly when he returned to the defense. Squinting his eyes, it seems like he will fall asleep at any moment.
Wang Jun beckoned to Collins to cover, ran the position, Kidd didn't pass, singled out Tyrone Lue in the middle, leaned on his back and turned to the left, and the emergency stop jump shot still missed.
Zhang Li sighed: "Today Kidd saw that it was Tyrone Lue who was defending and was very active in attack, but he missed three shots, as the core of the team, this should not be." ”
Yu Jia found the information and introduced: "Kidd is really not good at shooting, shooting only 39.2% this season and averaging 13.3 points per game. It is worth mentioning that Kidd averaged 5 free throws per game last season, and 3.7 this season, he averaged 13 shots per game, which is also 1.6 fewer than last season, and only 10.2 assists have improved, which is the first in the league. ”
Zhang said with a smile: "It's a good thing for Kidd to share the ball, otherwise Wang Jun won't be able to play." ”
Yu Jia then looked at the information and said with some surprise: "At present, Wang Jun is actually the Nets with the most shots per game, 14.2 times, which is nothing in the league, but the Nets players have more average shots, Jefferson 12.6 times, Martin 13.1 times, and Kittels also averages 9.5 shots per game." ”
While the two were discussing Nets team basketball, the Magic finally had a second player make a move, Maddy was caught and split the ball, and Howard missed a jumper from the middle.
Wang Jun actively played a fast attack, received a pass from Kidd in the backfield and brought it into the penalty area, and leaned on Girisek.
Three-pointers, breakthroughs under the basket, and pull-up jump shots are all fine, and the defensive end relies on technique and does not like physical contact. Wang Jun recalled the opponent's information given by the scout and chose to be strong.
Girisek is a strong guard who has scored in double figures every season since joining the NBA in 2002. However, he really doesn't like confrontation, and as soon as Wang Jun squeezes him, his center of gravity shifts.
Wang Jun calculated the right step, and only pulled the ball up one step before the free throw line, leaned on the opponent, and took three slow steps to the basketball. 2 to 7.
Maddie has a strong offense, and the defense is not active, and it is useless for Tyrone Lue to defend back.
Magic offense, Maddie received the ball outside, Kittels was not close, Maddy suddenly pulled out outside the three-point line, the arc of the ball was very flat, the speed was fast, and the hollow went into the net. 2 to 10.
"Maddie made a trick, Kittels can't cover it, it's clean!" Zhang Li instantly turned into wheat honey.
The so-called dry pull shot is to suddenly jump and shoot without squat preparation, like pulling onions on dry land.
There are countless NBA shots that can do it, but Maddie may be the only one who can practice pull-up shots into killer moves.
There is his height, and there is no bounce of him; There is his bounce, not his height; With his height and bounce, he may not be as fast as his first step, and it is easy to be passed. That's why Maddie is the top scorer.
Kittels ran to the front court to catch the ball and made a jumper to return a three-pointer, but it was deflected wide by Andrew's interference.
Andrew just came up to defend and was very active in changing defenses. Girisek grabbed the rebound and passed to Tyrone Lue for a fast break, and Lue passed to Maddy in the frontcourt.
This time, Maddie went straight to the low post to ask for the ball, and Kittels struggled to get close to him or was squeezed away. Maddie spun to the baseline and jumped with the ball in both hands, attracting Martin to jump sideways for a block.
Maddie shrunk on the right side of the basket, as if flying, pulled the lever sharply to avoid the block, and drifted to the left right hand backhand layup, and the ball hit the board and fell into the basket. 2 to 12.
Wang Jun wanted to cheer for Maddie when he saw this scene on the periphery, the action was too beautiful.
Kidd was in poor form, sleepwalking, the team couldn't play, he didn't remind the players to adjust, and Lawrence called a timeout.
The Nets' tactics are still based on fast offense, supplemented by positional battles, and Rodney was replaced in advance and blue-collar Collins was replaced.
"Their center is not good at attacking in the low post, so be careful to contain Maddie at any time, and Andrew can be open on the perimeter."
Lawrence looked at Wang Jun and said loudly: "Wang, next you defend Maddie, his jump shot is very powerful, don't let him easily turn around the frame, try to be close, try to disrupt his rhythm, don't run on the offensive end, the bottom corner attracts the defense." OK? ”
“OK!” Wang Jun responded loudly.
He's never been a star defender, and today he finally got his chance.
When he got on the court, Kidd encouraged Wang Jun: "Don't be afraid, think about the method I taught you, your strength will definitely be able to withstand him, just try to interfere as close as possible when he jumps, don't blame you for entering!" ”
Wang Jun nodded vigorously.
He's not scared, he's just excited, wanting to see how far he can get to the superstar.
He's defending with all his might now, how far can he go? (To be continued......)
