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

Chapter 38
Martin's pick-and-roll quality is still quite good.

There are always people who say, who can’t eat cakes.

Hey, the combination that can eat good cakes is really not easy.

First of all, the quality of your pick-and-roll must be good, otherwise the first step of eating the pie will not go on.

Secondly, the players with the ball must be aggressive. Otherwise, like this attack, Lu Yuanzhi would retreat directly, leaving Kidd alone, and Martin would have no chance to rush to the basket.

Then, your timing of the cut must be good, your steps must be fast, and your impact must be strong. Switch to a slow-moving big center. When you slowly wander into the inside, it will already be full of defensive players.

Finally, the ability to finish at the basket must be strong, especially under the interference of the opponent's rim protector who is defending, you must be able to score the ball steadily.

Martin can do the limit that all pie-eaters can do. He has good pick-and-roll quality, fast cutting speed, and strong finishing ability against the basket.

But, no use!
Lu Yuanzhi and Christie, the defensive partner, resolved the pick-and-roll attack directly in the second step.

They retreated directly, choosing to let Kidd shoot, and never let Martin hit the basket.

Kidd dribbled over and saw Lu Yuanzhi choose to retreat, his heart skipped a beat, no way, this rookie dared to let me shoot?
Doesn’t my name of All-Star scare people?
It is even more impossible for Martin to shoot from the outside. His mid-range and long-range shots are really hard to describe.

The third of the three major pits in the draft, it doesn't matter if you can't shoot, this technology can be developed.

Like Xiaoka, like Stoudemire, right?
But what about the players who have never been developed?The sea is gone!
It can only be said that this view is a kind of survivor bias.

Martin is the player who can't be developed. Throughout his career, his two-point shooting percentage in the middle and long distances has always been in his early thirties, which is very unreliable.

The Nets are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the three major pitfalls in the draft, and their two starting players have all stepped on it!
There is no way, Kidd can only do it by himself.

Christie's steps were fast, and he quickly restarted after being blocked. Taking advantage of Kidd's hesitation, he followed up and defended Kidd. Kidd had to give up shooting and reorganize the attack.

Christie's eyes lit up, hey, I didn't expect Kidd to really dare not attack!Unexpectedly, the situation was even better than what Max described.

It turned out that Christie planned to let Kidd shoot, and then he took advantage of his height and wingspan to interfere a little.

But Kidd hesitated.

He dare not vote?

He's not confident in his shooting?

Christie is the gateway to the Kings' perimeter defense and has defended too many offensive cores. He has never seen such hesitation in the eyes of an offensive core.

On the other side, Van Horn ran over immediately and made the second pick-and-roll for Kidd.

The quality of this pick-and-roll is not good, there is no way, Van Horn is too thin, but there is something wrong with the communication between Christie and Stojakovic.

Before Christie reminded Stojakovic of his defensive strategy, the Yugoslavs first shouted "change defense".

Stojakovic's defensive choice is actually right. There are only three seconds left in the attack time. Even if Stojakovic switches to Kidd, Kidd has no time to use the dislocation to reorganize the offense.

The top priority, of course, is to prevent Kidd from taking action.

It was just a small flaw in the communication between the two that left Christie unprepared. Seeing that Stojakovic had already followed Kidd, he could only twist his body and go back to guard against Horn.

Van Horn received Kidd's pass, adjusted and prepared to shoot, but he did not expect this adjustment to give Christie time to pounce.

Originally, Christie just pounced, but the 198cm-tall guard rushed to defend and could not affect the 208cm-tall shooter at all.

But Van Horn is not an ordinary shooter. Under pressure from defense, his shooting is really inaccurate.

"Boom!" The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced high. Lu Yuanzhi got stuck in Martin's position very skillfully, and then the ball fell to the ground, which was firmly received by Divac.

"run!"

Seeing the moment the ball was taken by Divac, the other 4 Kings players rushed to the frontcourt.

At home, you are not allowed to perform a mercury dump for the fans?
Divac accurately passed the ball to Christie. Christie dribbled a few steps and saw Lu Yuanzhi sprinting forward and was about to enter the three-point line. Without hesitation, he passed the ball to Lu Yuanzhi again.

Martin followed Lu Yuanzhi from the Kings' three-point line to his own three-point line, defending very actively.

But what's the use of being active?

Lu Yuanzhi didn't dribble, took two big steps, went directly from the three-point line to the area near the penalty area, and then took off directly.

This rookie, you don’t take me seriously?

Martin sneered in his heart, "A rookie is just a rookie. If you are so anxious, you have to attack the basket by yourself. Do you think I won't give you a big pot?"

see i don't. . .

Um?Where's the ball?Where did the ball go?
Martin, who took off with Lu Yuanzhi, waited for a long time but did not see Lu Yuanzhi expose the ball.

When both of them hit the ground, Martin still didn't see the ball.

"Bang-swipe!"

The sound of a basketball being hit into the basket came from behind.

Martin looked back and found that Stojakovic had scored an easy layup.

How did the ball get into his hands?
Seeing Martin's confused expression, Lu Yuanzhi felt contempt in his heart, that's it?That's it?
Isn't this kind of fast-break pass just a matter of having hands?

Anyway, the person following behind must be his own teammate, so why not just take advantage of the jump and throw the ball back?
is it hard?
The home fans saw their favorite fast break like mercury pouring down the ground, and they gave a huge cheer, standing up and applauding the home team players.

Look at how smooth this fast break is.

Look at this cooperation, what a tacit understanding.

Live well, be rewarded!
Those fans who complained about replacing "White Chocolate" Jason Williams before the season have to admit at this time that such a simple and coordinated fast break is still the fast break they like to watch.

Basketball can be fancy, but if it is simple and smooth, it actually has a different kind of excitement.

After returning from the defense here, Christie called his teammates over and told them that the next defensive strategy was to let Kidd shoot.

"Hey guys, that Kidd guy is afraid of shooting!"

"Believe me, I have guarded against so many 'sharp knives', and I already know what their eyes should look like."

"That guy Kidd doesn't have the soul of a pitcher at all, let him shoot, he can't do it!"

Christie is a defensive expert for the Kings. He said that Kidd is not to be feared, so Kidd really can't shoot anyone.

Bibiba had to defend Kidd. He is not tall enough, and it is already very difficult to mark Kidders. Moreover, Kidders still has an open shot.

Now Christie's suggestion directly solved his problem.

Stojakovic also needs to mark Van Horn, who has good shooting ability, and he is very happy to hear that he does not need to make up defense.

Lu Yuanzhi had no problem, it was his idea to let Kidd shoot the ball.

The Kings players changed their defensive strategy against Kidd directly on the court.

Kidd didn't know that in just a few rounds, the Kings found a targeted defensive strategy, and some of the next games felt better for him.

The first few pick-and-roll offenses had good chances. As a mature point guard, Kidd didn't want to change anything, and continued to call his teammates to play pick-and-rolls.

Even if Van Horn missed the goal, the opportunity still came out, but he didn't make the shot, which doesn't explain anything.

This time it was Van Horn who called.

Although Martin's pick-and-roll quality is higher, Kidd also discovered that the No. 77 rookie definitely took the main position because of his defensive skills. Looking for the opponent's defensive strengths head-on is not what a point guard should do.

Van Horn's pick-and-roll is still so loose, and this time Christie bypassed it almost without hindrance.

At the same time, Stojakovic stayed close to Van Horn, never leaving, leaving no room to pass the ball.

Hey, the quality of this pick and roll is too bad!

Kidd was not in a hurry and called Van Horn's pick-and-roll again.

While calling for pick-and-rolls, he is still constantly observing the dynamics on the court.

He Kidd is not only the pick-and-roll trick, connecting teammates is what he is good at.

But the defense of the Kings seems to be a lot stronger. Bibby is actively following Kidders, and the rookie No. 77 is fighting Martin for a position at the basket.

Martin has a physical advantage, but the rookie's wingspan is too long, and he also showed excellent jumping ability in the last alley-oop dunk. If he passes the ball at this time, there is a high probability that he will be intercepted.

As for McCloch, forget it, that's a big meat shield, with no attack power away from the basket, slow pace, and not even worth calling for pick-and-rolls.

Forget it, let's play the pick and roll.

This time Van Horn's pick-and-roll quality was okay, and he successfully blocked Christie. But Kidd's eyelids jumped, Christie, what are you doing?

You actually blocked my breakthrough route directly?
Aren't you afraid of my shooting?
I glanced at Van Horn from the corner of my eye. Humph, that European was sticking to Van Horn and ignored my shot?

Let me shoot, right?

You're so bold, how dare you let the All-Stars play?

Kidd still doesn't want to shoot, but the atmosphere is here, he is open, McCloch and Martin are also squeezing inside, ready to compete for offensive rebounds, it is really unreasonable not to shoot.

Kidd struggled slightly to shoot, and the ball spun in the air and flew toward the basket.
