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

Chapter 73 The Kings' New Generation of Defensive Gates
Lu Yuanzhi did not believe that Pierce would go all the way to the black and go straight to the basket.

The audience's attention was focused on Pierce, and Divac had already defended from the other side. If Pierce couldn't get rid of Lu Yuanzhi and rushed to the basket, he would be double-teamed by Lu Yuanzhi and Divac. .

One has a wingspan of 228 centimeters, the other has a wingspan of 230 centimeters. The two long arms cover the sky and the sun. If Pierce dares to go in, he can't find a shooting angle at all.

Sure enough, as Lu Yuanzhi guessed, Pierce exerted force again on the right side of his body, pushed Lu Yuanzhi away fiercely, then took a step back, and came to the free throw line.

Even if ordinary players saw through Pierce's move, they would have no way to fight against it.

As long as he loses his center of gravity when he hits him, no one can interfere with his next step-back step and backward shot.

But Lu Yuanzhi is not an ordinary player. His strength is as competitive as Pierce's among small forwards.

For this confrontation, Lu Yuanzhi was prepared in advance, exerted his body in advance, and pulled Pierce's jersey down at a position where the referee would not easily notice.

Lu Yuanzhi's body only retreated slightly, but he did not completely lose his center of gravity.

The referee did not call him a defensive foul.

Sure enough, in the NBA at the beginning of the 21st century, as long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, some small defensive moves, the referee will ignore you at all.

It's useless to break it by hand!

After Pierce was pulled like this, he knew that it would be difficult to have a very good shooting space this time, but he still made that classic step back and prepared to shoot.

Lu Yuanzhi still had his center of gravity, quickly followed, raised his long arms, and stepped forward to block the shot.

wrong!Pierce didn't jump at all!

Lu Yuanzhi slammed on the brakes and turned around, just in time to see Pierce dodging his own defense, the center did not move, stepped up and down, leaned forward, and took off to shoot.

"Don't think about it!"

Lu Yuanzhi twisted his body forcefully, took a big step forward, and jumped up reluctantly.

The jump is not high, but fortunately, Pierce can't jump too high after doing this set of movements.

The moment the ball was released, Lu Yuanzhi finally rushed back and then fanned the ball out of the sideline from behind.

The moment Pierce was blocked, he was taken aback. Where did he get the defense?
Take another closer look, what?The No. 77 rookie rushed back and blocked his shot?
The on-site director gave the replay in time. On the big screen, Pierce started from the first breakthrough on the right side, seeking physical confrontation throughout the whole process, constantly destroying Lu Yuanzhi's defensive center of gravity, and even made 5 fake moves, but all of them were caught by Lu Yuanzhi. Polygala resolved.

Especially in the last up and down step, 99.9% of the players in the league will be caught flying when they make a fake step back and shoot, and directly lose their defensive position.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanzhi could come back in time, and sent a chasing cap from behind Pierce.

The fans at the scene gave out deafening cheers.

That's the defense!
This is our defense!
This is the hope that our Kings can go further this year!

The Kings have never lacked players with offensive talents. The international players selected in recent years have shown unparalleled creativity and aggressiveness on the offensive end.

But international players have a common problem. Their athletic ability is relatively weak, not as good as that of black American athletes, so they will suffer a lot on the defensive end.

The Kings rank first in the league in points per game, but they also rank among the best in points per game.

This kind of performance has always made a group of "football players" worried. After all, the playoffs have always been about defense. There is a saying that "defense wins the championship."

But the No. 77 rookie showed something completely different.

He was inexplicably selected into the team by the management, and his ability to attack independently on the offensive end was a disaster. He struggled in the preseason, which was almost all singles, and the team even wanted to send him to the secondary league for training.

But relying on his tough defense, the rookie has gradually gained a firm foothold in the team. Whether it's the top defense against the opponent's leading star, or the ability to help defend recently, it has exceeded everyone's expectations.

After the replay on the big screen ended, Lu Yuanzhi appeared in the camera running with Pierce. Huge cheers erupted at the scene again, and the sound of "Defence" was even more deafening.

Yes, it is this kind of energy!

With the addition of Lu Yuanzhi, our defense has also improved to a higher level. He is the defensive gate of our Kings!
Doug Christie: Meow meow?You used to call me Xiao Tiantian, but now you are Mrs. Niu?

Is the Kings a new generation of defensive gatekeepers?
Forget it, I've already got a big contract, and I'm in my 30s, so I don't expect much money from the next contract.

If Max Lu can get up, so what if I give him a push?

Wouldn't it be better to sit on the bench, take your salary happily, leave more energy, and go home and play shameful games with your wife?
The dark gothic collar I saw last time is quite good, hehe, what kind of gothic style, it is obviously a good thing for the letter circle, I am excited when I think about wearing that collar!
Sitting off the court, Christie continued to radiate his thoughts. He is the most desireless in the Kings team. He may be on the same level as Divac. He doesn't have much pursuit of statistics and playing time.

Maybe, talk to Rick and give that boy Max more opportunities to exercise?
For example, starting?
Christie thinks her idea is pretty good, don't work so hard, take good care of your body, maybe you can get middle class in three years!
Anyway, their defensive ability has been fully demonstrated in the past 10 years of games. They are not afraid of being misunderstood by others, they are only worried about their athletic ability and health status.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't know what Christie was thinking. If he could read minds, he might just jump over and pick up Christie and spin around three times.

Benefactor, great benefactor!
The game continued, and Pierce continued to get the ball on the perimeter.

Until Walker returns to the court, he will have to carry the Celtics' offense alone.

Although Lu Yuanzhi's defense made him uncomfortable, it was more reliable to play by himself than his teammates who made 4 of 1 shots and 3 of 1 shots.

Kobe silently gave a thumbs up!

A group of lechers, giving them open shots, is not as high as my shooting percentage in double teams.

So, why pass the ball when you get double-teamed?

I'm going to hit 5!
Pierce's ball-holding position moved out again, and came outside the three-point line.

According to his general understanding, if the opponent's low-post defense ability is excellent, then he should withdraw from the low post and go to the high post, use his speed to open up space, and seek better opportunities to make shots.

This time, Pierce dribbled horizontally outside the three-point line, suddenly collected the ball, and stepped back to take a shot.

Lu Yuanzhi: What's the situation?Do you always short-circuit your brain suddenly and just look down on me like this?
