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

Chapter 39 Speed ​​Up

"Backboard!"

Christie's defensive quality is very high. After Kidd takes a shot, he quickly blocks Kidd's position and prevents him from rushing for rebounds.

Just kidding, Kidd averaged 19 rebounds per game in his 6.3-year career. In his peak years, he averaged 7 to 8 rebounds per game, which is more rebounds than most centers.

This is not brushed!

Kidd is relatively tall and strong among point guards, and he has a unique understanding of the ball's path, so he gets many long rebounds.

Unfortunately, he met Christie.

As expected, the ball didn't go in, and it was a long rebound. If Christie hadn't been stuck, Kidd might have been able to get this offensive rebound with his early positioning judgment and strong body.

But now, he was firmly stuck by Christie, and the height and strength he was proud of were not worth mentioning in front of Christie.

Christie took the rebound steadily, and Kidd stepped forward to interfere and destroy the fast break.

For the sake of stability, Christie did not risk passing the ball. When Bibby came over, he handed the ball to Bibby hand-to-hand.

But what the Nets players didn't expect was that the Kings, who had been interfered with a pass, actually went on a fast break with five players.

Or to be more precise, the Kings have sped up and won't slowly walk through the frontcourt with you.

Are you kidding me, this is my home field, this is my horse, why don’t I bring joy to the fans?
They love to watch the fast break. Even if we break our legs, we still have to play the fast break!
Bibby dribbled to the center circle and made a beautiful pass to the ground. He found the unmarked Stojakovic one step inside the three-point line. The Yugoslavian did not hesitate and made a jump shot and scored two goals. point.

Lu Yuanzhi was rushing towards the basket at this time, even if Peja missed the shot, Lu Yuanzhi still had a high probability of grabbing an offensive rebound when the defenders were not well positioned.

This is the transition of offense and defense, and you are not stable when you hit the ground.

This is a relatively new thing in the NBA. It was said in textbooks before that when the fast break is stable, don't force the attack. If you don't have a chance, you'd rather fall behind.

But no one thought about it, isn't it just to run out of the shooting gap?Now that there is such a big gap in the transition between offense and defense, why don't you shoot?
However, there is an interesting understanding of the transition between offense and defense at this time.

A two-point shot from an open position in transition between offense and defense, or even a two-pointer with one foot on the three-point line, okay, good!

Offensive and defensive transitions open to shoot three-pointers, no, hit blindly, how can fast breaks shoot three-pointers?

Say yes, Director Zhang.

The Kings' goal drew cheers from the audience again, but the experienced Kidd smelled a chance.

The Nets' team's offensive and defensive capabilities are actually very average. They don't have a stable single point. Most of the time, they still have to rely on passing and cutting to attack the basket. Only in this way can Kenyon Martin's powerful impact be exerted, and it can also give the team waiting for him a chance. Kidders chance from beyond the arc.

Originally, in this game, the pick-and-roll between Kidd and Martin had been cut off, and the game would become very difficult. He could only try to connect the team and see if he could coordinate the offense through movement.

Unexpectedly, the Kings wanted to speed up at home.

Speed ​​up?
My Nets also want to speed up!

If you don't speed up, and don't have so many offensive and defensive transitions, how can there be a chance!

Then let's attack and see if the Kings, who have ranked first in offensive power for two consecutive seasons, will be overthrown by our Nets in this game.

Thinking of this, Kidd asked Kiddels to serve quickly, and he quickly advanced to the frontcourt, then found Martin, played a beautiful match, and Martin scored a dunk.

The entire attack took less than 5 seconds!
Where did Lu Yuanzhi go?

Lu Yuanzhi followed up the fast break last time and rushed to the basket to grab an offensive rebound. As soon as he landed, he saw Kiedles send the ball, and he sprinted from under the basket to his own half.

Unfortunately, when he ran back, Martin had already received a pass from Kidd and was about to jump and dunk.

At this time, what else can you do besides defending with your eyes?With a distance of one or two steps, even if you want to foul, you can't reach it.

It has always been the king chasing the ass and beating others, but this time he was chased and beaten by the Nets.

Adelman also saw the problem off the court, but after thinking about it, it's okay, I'll be a good substitute, and you will be a substitute, let's see who can run better.

The fast break is really a huge stage for physical monsters. By the time he was replaced in the 10th minute of the first quarter, he had already scored 6 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. The efficiency was surprisingly high.

However, the Kings' scoring was still relatively scattered, while the Nets mainly focused on Kenyon Martin. He had scored 12 points before being replaced.

Lu Yuanzhi was treated as a purely main player today, and his on and off time was synchronized with Kenyon Martin. Although the two teams played fast breaks against each other, he basically couldn't defend against Martin, but Adelman made up his mind and wanted Lu Yuanzhi to match up with Martin.

After Martin left the field, Kidd wanted to slow down and stop playing confrontation, but the Kings didn't want to.

If you want to fight, you can fight, but if you don’t want to, you can’t fight?Have you asked me for my opinion?

Kidd tried to slow down the pace, but the two teams had already run almost a quarter of the game, and almost all had inertia. The first reaction to get the ball was to pass to their respective frontcourts.

The newly replaced Bobby Jackson of the Kings is the captain of the assault, the master of chaos. He left the team organization to Turkoglu, picked up the ball and rushed to the inside of the net.

Originally, when Martin and Lu Yuanzhi came off the court in 10 minutes, the two sides were still 24:22, and the Kings were only leading by 2 points. However, in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the bench gangsters of the Kings just scored 10 points, while the Nets only scored 4 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led by 34 points at 26:8.

This is the confidence of this king's team to attack against others, because their substitutes are really bench bandits.

There are not only the best sixth man like Bobby Jackson, but also the talented Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu, as well as the passionate Pollard.

In fact, on the Kings bench, there is another first-round pick this year, who will become the steal leader in 04-05, the All-Star in the 09-10 season, and Elvis Presley Wallace in the defensive team in the 09-10 season.

But he was a bit slow to enter the state. Lu Yuanzhi took the opportunity and failed to enter the rotation. He could only play some garbage time in each game.

I kicked Elvis Presley out of the rotation, you really don't want to reward the system?

What the Kings want now is immediate combat power, players who can help this year's championship competition. No matter how talented Gerald Wallace is, he will not be able to enter the main lineup or the rotation.

It's okay, Gerald, you are still young, you are only 19 years old, the future is yours!
Kidd regretted it a bit. In order to make his offense smoother, he opened Pandora's Box and started a confrontation with the Kings, the most offensive team in the league.

But the deal is done, now everyone has started running, it will not be easy to catch them and pull them back to the fighting position.

Although Kidd regretted it, he didn't want to pull it off.

Do you want to fall back to the position, and then fall into a difficult situation where you can't shoot, pass, or suddenly?

That would win the game?

It's even more impossible!
The lack of stable singles points is an unavoidable problem for the Nets lineup.

I used to think that Van Horn was that point, but after more than ten games this season, Kidd has seen through it. In addition to being a defensive colander, Van Horn also has limited ability to attack autonomously on the offensive end.

Forget it, let's run like this.

Maybe you can still win?
