NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 36
The video needs to be edited, social accounts need to be promoted, and it will take some time for Lu Yuanzhi's NBA shock to be seen.

Three days passed quickly, and it was time for the game between the Kings and the Nets.

The Nets have suddenly emerged this year. Their record so far is 9 wins and 3 losses, ranking among the best in the Eastern Conference.

You know, last year the Nets had a record of 26 wins and 56 losses, ranking 12th in the Eastern Conference.

This summer, the Nets had only one big trade, trading Marbury for Jason Kidd from the Suns.

As a result, the Nets ranked first in the Eastern Conference regular season this season, and defeated the Pacers, Hornets and Celtics in the playoffs and reached the finals in one fell swoop.

The Suns, on the other hand, went from sixth in the Western Conference last year to tenth in the Western Conference this year and did not enter the playoffs.

The political commissar of Ma was killed.

The Nets' starting lineup today is center Todd McCloch, power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Keith Van Horn, attacking guard Corey Kidders, and point guard Jason Kidd.

The Kings have adjusted the starting lineup. Because Lu Yuanzhi performed well in the previous few games, Adelman rewarded him to replace Scott Pollard as the starting power forward.

Of course, another consideration is that both Pollard and Fonder Burke's footsteps are slow, and they may not be able to keep up with Martin's footsteps. It is safer to replace Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi, registered as a small forward, made his first start and was placed in the power forward position by the team.

If you only look at the draft, the Nets' starting lineup is full of talent. Kidd was the No. 94 pick in [-]. That year's No. [-] pick was one of Jordan's many successors, Grant Hill.

Van Horn was the second pick in 97, and the top pick that year was Duncan.

Good guy, double second place, almost triggering the keyword of losing - "double top pick"!
Kenyon Martin is even more awesome. He was the No. 2000 pick in 2000 and he is only a sophomore this year. However, [-] is recognized as a small draft year, and it is even difficult for you to find players who can play in that year.

In terms of body, Martin has obvious advantages in power forward and Kidd in point guard, but it is hard to say for Van Horn.

I just want to mention one thing, Van Horn's draft template is Larry Bird.

Understand, if your dynamic talent is poor, your template limit may be Bird.

If you are not short and you can shoot well, then your template ceiling is more likely to be Bird.

If you happen to be white, forget it, Bird is your template!
One of the three major pitfalls in the draft is the white high-powered shooter, and the one that is even worse than the three pitfalls is the template Larry Bird.

There are so many Bird players, but Nowitzki played out in the end, and he was called a softie for almost a lifetime, and he was finally recognized by the media by leading the team to defeat that man with a single core.

I'm stupid, if you can defeat my emperor's Big Three with a single core, then you have to blow hard, otherwise what will my emperor look like?

However, it took several years for Van Horn to expose his smuggling nature. Just looking at the statistics, you would think he is a 20+8+2 all-around forward, but after watching the game, you will know that this guy is a real defensive black hole .

The Nets can strengthen again in the following season by driving away this cheater and correcting Richard Jefferson on the bench.

Without Kenyon Martin's back-up defense, Van Horn's opponent could slip into the paint and dunk the Nets!
Opening, the Nets have the right.

The Nets played very targeted today.

On the first ball, Kidd directly took position in the corner area and started to play singles against Bibby. Bibby had a hard time defending.

Kidd is 193 centimeters tall and weighs 93 kilograms, while Bibby, who is guarding him, is only 185 centimeters tall and weighs 86 kilograms.

Although Bibby is also ranked second and a point guard, he did not take any advantage in the physical confrontation with Kidd.

Moreover, Kidd is not a non-attacker in the future. His post-up skills are good and his shooting percentage is above the standard. What's even more uncomfortable is that he passes the ball really well.

Fortunately, the Kings players did not dare to assist in the defense, lest Kidd seize the opportunity and pass a wonderful pass directly through the defense.

Bibby was quickly pushed one step outside the penalty area. Once here, Kidd was not in a hurry to continue inside. When his speed didn't pick up, he didn't have the confidence to face the Kings' inside defense.

After another physical confrontation, taking advantage of Bibby's loss of center of gravity, Kidd took off and scored the first goal of the game.

This is too easy. Just arch it twice and you can shoot comfortably.

But after the Kings returned from a two-pointer by Stojakovic, Kidd's good days were over.

For the situation where Kidd used his body to overwhelm Bibby, the Kings had prepared before the game and directly transferred Christie to guard Kidd, while Bibby went to the outside to mark Kiddles.

Christie is 198 centimeters tall, and he usually defends the opponent's offensive core, especially against Kidd. Although Kidders is taller than Kidd, reaching 196 centimeters, post-up singles are not his strength. .

Don't look at some players who have better physical fitness, but they don't know how to play in post-ups. No matter how tall or heavy they are, it doesn't matter. Otherwise, how did the legend of Barea come about?

Kidders is also in the same situation. Now he is better at catching and shooting, one-step jump shots outside or inside the three-point line. In the past two seasons, his three-point shooting percentage has reached a career high of 40. %about.

Moreover, Kidders had suffered a serious injury before, and his competitive state had dropped significantly. He was unable to post up and defeat Bibby alone.

Kidd reacted quickly. After finding out that the man being guarded had been replaced by Christie, he immediately gave up the post-up play, dribbled the ball back to the three-point line, and began to call for a pick-and-roll.

The pie-feeding master Kidd and the pie-eating master Kenyon Martin are connecting.

This is called "Made Connection"?Why does it sound weird, like scolding someone?

Lu Yuanzhi's test has begun.

Martin is very strong, and Lu Yuanzhi will suffer a bit when competing with him for position. Moreover, although Martin suffered a serious injury in college, he has recovered well and his athletic ability is almost unaffected.

Kidd used Martin to do a pick-and-roll. The quality of the pick-and-roll was very good, and Christie, who was following the defense, was blocked tightly. However, he had a good defensive prediction and knew that there was a high probability that he would not be able to get around. Get in the way of Kidd.

Lu Yuanzhi was a little reluctant. He didn't even want to attack anymore, so why bother guarding him?Shouldn't we keep an eye on Martin?

However, Lu Yuanzhi had confidence in his speed, and he took a big step to the side, hindering Kidd, and Christie quickly came around.

Looks like a successful defense.

wrong!

Martin has cut to the inside.

Lu Yuanzhi walked quickly, only half a step behind, still clinging to Martin.

If an ordinary defender dared to pass the ball at this time, he would definitely be stopped by Lu Yuanzhi's long arms.

But this was Kidd, Kidd, who has won the assists title for many years. His pass was just right. The ball flew past Lu Yuanzhi's fingertips, and then led Martin forward.

Martin entered the restricted area, followed by Lu Yuanzhi.

The ball was at Martin's front arm, but Lu Yuanzhi couldn't reach the ball at all.

Martin and Lu Yuanzhi took off at the same time. Lu Yuanzhi resisted Martin with his body, but Martin's center of gravity remained motionless and continued to lift off.

Nima, if there is a systematic evaluation of this confrontation ability, it is estimated to be above 80.

Martin firmly grasped the basketball and dunked it towards the hoop.

Lu Yuanzhi wanted to block the shot, but the angle was too bad, and there was a Martin between the ball and him.

No, you can't block it. The ball is already out of position and can't interfere at all. Going up to block it at this time will not change anything except to send Martin a free throw.

Or, as Divac said, pull Martin down hard?
It's not impossible, it's just the first ball, and it's a regular season, so there's no need to be so crazy.

He didn't want to get hurt, so why would Martin want to?Do unto others, do not impose on others!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi, who followed the jump, withdrew his hands and raised a French military salute in the air to let the referee not misunderstand him.

"boom!"

The basketball was smashed into the hoop!
