Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 78 I Saw Pippen and Jordan

The Bucks free throw player made only one of the two free throws.

His hands were shaking as he took the first free throw.

Woody's foul was very heavy.

But it wasn't Woody's intentional ruthlessness, he was running for the ball, it's just that this time the player had better physical fitness, he jumped higher than Woody expected, and...

It doesn't take much effort to foul, is it possible to wait to send the opponent 2 plus 1?
Ben Wallace told him that if your interference has already fouled, then what you have to do is, no matter what, don't let your opponent have a chance of 2 plus 1!
The Bucks scored first.

When it was the Heat's turn to attack, Wade had just let TJ Ford forcefully break through with his speed. He took a deep breath in his heart, held the ball in front of this guy, and also stabbed inside.

Woody quickly moved to the right elbow while he was breaking through to the inside to open up space for Wadela.

When he "boiled" Pat Riley at the American Airlines Arena, the relationship with Wade became a lot closer. The two often fought bullfights. His ability to improve on the defensive end was thanks to Wade.

With more bullfights, Woody became more and more familiar with Wade.

The guy's physical explosiveness reminded Woody of his old teammates.

It's just that unlike LeBron, his ability to hold the ball and move his feet is much better.

Vigorous yet elegant in the breakthrough.

Ford was still hesitating whether to stick to it for half a step, but was already left behind by this guy.

It's just that the summer league not only has rookies like them, but also "veterans" who are struggling in the summer league and eager to enter the NBA. Their on-court judgment ability is far superior to that of ordinary rookies.

The two insiders of the Bucks are such players.

They quickly returned to the basket. Wade didn't expect these two people to return to the defense so fast, and Woody didn't catch a glimpse from the corner of his eye, and he forced the attack to miss.

Spoelstra shook his head slightly.

From his point of view, Woody is in a high position on the side of Wade, and he is still standing at a common catch-and-shoot tactical point.

In this round, it is not difficult to see that Wade and Woody still lack a tacit understanding. At the same time, Wade does not know much about some basic tactical systems such as off-ball running and receiving tactics.

It's no wonder that the masters who failed their freshman year and couldn't make it to the field really had to improve their tactical literacy slowly.

"Dangdang!"

When the ball flew towards the backboard, Woody slowly walked towards the basket while observing the possible rebound trajectory of the backboard. At the moment the ball bounced off, he suddenly accelerated his pace. After making a judgment in his heart, he made a decisive effort, and the whole person flew away and took the rebound first.

This rebounding ability!

Spoelstra already had a judgment at the time:
In terms of rebounding, Woody is in the summer league, that is a dimensionality reduction blow!

Holding the ball, Woody also felt the difference between the summer league and the high school league. If he got the rebound in the high school league, he jumped up and it would be a "one-handed dunk".

Woody didn't stick the ball, passed it quickly, and shouted: "Shoot!"

The person who received the ball was Udonis Haslem, who partnered with Woody inside.

This guy participated in the draft in 02. After losing the draft, he went to France to play for a year. This summer, the Heat sent him an invitation letter.

In the summer league, there are many such players.

Woody had just practiced with him for four or five days, so he didn't know much about him, but his biggest impression was that he played with great passion.He doesn't know whether this is considered Haslem's advantage, everyone knows, there is really nothing to praise, only to praise people for their high enthusiasm for playing.

In addition, Woody's deepest impression on him is that he has a fairly stable middle distance.

"Shh!"

He also lived up to Woody's pass and hit the middle distance steadily.

One year in the French league allowed him to grow a lot.

TJ Ford continues to eat Wade raw with speed.

Wade's judgment was in place this time, but the opposite side called a pick-and-roll in advance, and Wade missed it completely.

Ford was really smart, having just seen Woody's mobility, he chose to go on Haslem's side.But Haslem is also an insider with full mobility...

Well, with this "real" height of 2 meters, can it be fully maneuvered?

Although not as good as Woody, Haslem has shown his experience in the European league.

In Europe, teamwork is a word that the head coach will always talk about.

So the European League games are very dull, as if only "Spurs" are playing there.

Ordinarily, it's just like the Spurs, it's fine to cooperate pleasing to the eye, but it happens that a bunch of players whose tactical literacy can't meet the requirements are playing teamwork.

In order not to make mistakes, the rhythm of the offense can only be slowed down.

This is also the reason why the European leagues have no ratings, and the reason why European players are not used to the NBA when they come to the NBA is also the reason.

It has not been played fiercely in the domestic CBA.

But it is indeed a place where people know how to find teammates when there is nothing to do.

Haslem saw Ford's speed and knew that he could not defend against it alone, so his defensive reaction was to force Ford towards Woody.

By the time Ford realized this, it was too late, and Woody slapped his head on his face.

The Filipino on the sidelines couldn't hold back, as if a switch had been turned on suddenly, his body shook involuntarily, and he almost cried out.

Whether it was the cooperation between Haslem and Woody, or the visual impact of Woody's big hat, his excitement soared.

Haslem's shining point, he also saw it.

The ball was shot far away by Woody and flew straight to the frontcourt.

Wade, who was aggrieved at the scene, finally had a chance to vent. He took the lead and ran to the front. After catching the ball, he completed the fast break with a powerful "Tomahawk Slash".

The scene was full of fans tonight. Woody's "volleyball smash" hat made the cheers louder, and Wade's dunk pushed the cheers to the climax.

The momentum fell to the Heat's side.

Wade returned to the defense and came to Woody to give him a high five.

He is still very good, it is not for Woody's block, it is difficult for him to complete this ball to vent his depression.

He has a corner, and Woody also has a corner. He is very clear that it was not Haslem who drove Ford to his defense zone. As far as his ability to block shots is concerned, there is no way to lock Ford's shot.

Before Wade high fived him, he had already high fived Haslem.

Wade slowly pulled out a "?", he looked at the proactive Woody, and wanted to ask:
You just forgot it was 4am in Miami?
Obviously I was the first!

But in the next second, he felt Woody's different treatment. Woody grabbed his neck and asked him, "Dude, are you building roads there?"

"what?"

"Then if there is no Wade Road, how can TJ Ford get into the inside lane so easily?"

Wade: ...

Wow, this hanger!
So bullying!
Of course he knows Payton's classic trash talk: I pass you like I cross the road in the morning.

Wade was very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say anything to refute, because Woody didn't say anything wrong. So far in the game, his defense against TJ Ford is really not in place.

But that was Wade who was not stimulated, and now he is stimulated by Woody, can he still make TJ Ford feel better?

Wade began to defend closely in advance, and Ford just passed halftime, and he immediately stepped forward to entangle.

With a height of 1 meters and a thin body, Ford's shortcomings in confrontation were exposed.

He had no choice but to use all his strength to break through Wade with all his strength.

But Woody was waiting right behind Wade.

As soon as he rushed past Wade with enough strength, Ford immediately faced Woody again, his steps were chaotic, Wade behind him turned his head, and the "mighty" combination successfully double-teamed, making Ford's mistake.

Wade, who held the ball in his hand, walked in the front. He was planning to make another "Tomahawk Slash", but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Woody who followed quickly.Although he doesn't speak well and is a "crazy critic", but...

He is following up!

The "honest man" attribute exploded, Wade threw the ball towards the basket, and then rushed straight to the basket.

he……

Let it go!

He didn't even think that this let-down might last a lifetime!
Woody leaped high, grabbed the ball flying over the basket with both hands, "stagnated" in the air, and then smashed the frame with both hands, with such force that it caused a loud noise and detonated the entire arena.

Eddie Jones stood up from his seat, calling wildly.

Scottie Pippen nodded slightly. Even in his opinion, this cooperation is definitely at the level of the NBA's "five best balls".

Spoelstra also nodded in response, but what he saw...

It is the bright future of the Heat!

This ball, from defense to offense, is enough to become the "cornerstone" of the Heat's future offensive and defensive tactics.

What do rookies watch?
Isn't it just to see some flashes of inspiration in their game?

This represents their potential and the height they can reach in the future!
As a coach, it's up to you to help them make these "snapshots" a reality.

"Magic" Johnson's seat was not far from Scottie Pippen. When the cheers gradually subsided, he turned his head and shouted at Scottie Pippen: "Man, do you know what I just thought of?"

Pippen turned his head, and he really continued: "What?"

"I thought of the 91 Finals, you and Michael Jordan double-teamed me like this!"

"..." Scottie Pippen showed a speechless smile.

This……

Just compare Woody and Wade with him and Jordan?
When did this "magician" learn how to make a splash?

No, he seems to have always been like this!
Pippen curled his lips slightly. He felt that Johnson was exaggerating.

Johnson doesn't mind either, anyway, his goal has been achieved. He believes that tomorrow's newspaper will definitely have related news: ""Magician" believes that the two rookies of the Heat will become the next pair of "Michael Jordan and Pippen"!" "

That's it!

All he wanted was this heat.

Scottie-Tool Man-Pippen!

TJ Ford's breakthrough is the most important support for the Bucks on the court, but after Wade and Woody teamed up to limit his sports car, his sports car couldn't run anymore. The Bucks fell into a passive state, but the Heat became more and more excited. In the eyes of the "Magician", "Jordan" and "Pippen" frequently staged "fast break cooperation", and the point difference was once opened to more than 15 points.

But Spoelstra didn't call a timeout either.

The main focus of the summer league is "training". The point difference on the court is said to be 15 points. Even if it is 30 points, Woody and Wade have to continue to play.

In Woody's first summer league trip, the Heat beat the Bucks 88-70, 18 points.

韦德拿下了16分，11投5中，罚球8罚6中，此外还有5个篮板跟4次助攻，1个抢断1个盖帽；伍迪拿下了热火队全队最高的20分，14投8中，罚球5发4中，此外还有全队最高的13个篮板以及7次助攻，还有5个盖帽跟3次抢断也都是全队最高。

The number of blocked shots is inseparable from the help of Haslem.

After two consecutive caps at the beginning, plus the big cap for Ford, Woody's deterrent effect in the penalty area obviously scared the Bucks players on the opposite side, and they turned their heads and went straight to Haslem.

"Passionate man" was still the strategy at the beginning, forcing the opponent towards Woody's defense zone, and Woody's two blocks behind him were taken in this way.

As for the way of stealing, it is similar, but Haslem becomes Wade.

The three steals are all "sixth steals", of which Ford was robbed twice by Woody.

So what impressed Spoelstra the most in this game was Woody's defense ability. This high mobility reminded him of Ben Wallace.

But Woody's energy on the offensive end is unmatched by Ben Wallace.

Fast breaks, baskets, and mid-range jumpers, among which fast breaks and baskets account for the highest proportion. Woody's sensitivity to fast breaks and his sense of smell for air cuts to the basket are unmatched by Ben Wallace.

Haslem's final data tonight was 11 points and 6 rebounds. Spoelstra was impressed by his hard work and defensive spirit.

Woody high fived Haslem again after the game.

In this game, he and Haslem cooperated very comfortably at the basket.

TJ Ford, the 8th overall pick in this year's first round, did not perform well. Facing Wade's defense, he can still achieve "[-]-[-] split", but Wade is still standing behind Woody and Haslem. High mobility players, he really has nothing to do.

All he can rely on is his speed, and when his speed fails, he can only rest.

In this game, his data was finally fixed at 11 of 4 shots, 4 of 3 free throws, and barely scored 11 points. In addition, he had 5 assists, but made 5 turnovers.

The assist-to-turnover ratio is 1 to 1, which is not good at all.

Scottie Pippen left after the game without saying hello to Woody.His attitude says it all, this kid is not like me.

But early the next morning, as Johnson expected, Woody and Wade became the next pair of "Jordan AND Pippen" in the media's mouth!
On the second day of this game, the "Little Emperor"'s Cavaliers also ushered in their summer league debut.

The management of the Cavaliers proved with practical actions what it means to "study with the prince". They didn't mean to "draw cards" in the free market and the draft. They directly pulled half of the Cavaliers' bench to the summer league.

LeBron James is serious before the game.

昨天他看了伍迪的首秀，20分13篮板7助攻5盖帽3抢断……

Is this Nima still human?
Woody is doing so well, of course he can't lose.

only……

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

As the game time approached, LeBron James himself felt his breathing became heavier.

The pressure is so great!
　Second more.
