basketball talent system

Chapter 503 Against the old club

Although the reward this time is not a lottery ticket for basketball skills, it is still an S-level skill, so Ye Xuan decisively used it up. As a result, the system is quite a face-saving one, giving Ye Xuan a 'Gary- Payton's defensive talent'Although Ye Xuan already has Tony Allen's defensive talent as a base, so his defensive ability is hardly lacking, but now that Gary Payton's defensive talent is released, Ye Xuan has it Being able to qualify for the best defensive first team like Jordan, Kobe and others, after all, Payton is the only point guard in the league who has won the league's best defensive player.

After receiving such a powerful reinforcement, Ye Xuan has even more confidence in the game against the Pacers, and since this game is not only for him, but also for Solomon Hill, Ye Xuan will not be in this game. Prepare to give the Pacers the slightest face, including old teammate Pickled Pepper.Ye Xuan is not going to give them face anymore, this match is destined to be a fight.

Time soon came to November [-]nd, and the Lakers ushered in a challenge from the Pacers at their home court. Although the new head coach of the Pacers, Nate McMillan, kept telling the media that this It's just a simple regular season, and I don't care about the "special meaning" of this game, but there are still media reports that Kevin Pritchard has ordered the team to win, making the outside world The media now believe that Pritchard is a clown face.

The game officially started. Gasol overwhelmed the old Tyson Chandler and slapped the ball into Ye Xuan's hands. Facing Jeff Teague's defense, Ye Xuan didn't slack in the slightest, and directly chose to speed up and overtake. He broke through Teague's defense, but the pickled pepper next to him also knew Ye Xuan's methods, so he immediately defended him, but he didn't know that Ye Xuan was no longer the player whose eyes only had the basket in his eyes. Xuan's passing awareness and desire to pass are much better than when he was with the Pacers. As soon as Paojiao's defense came over, Ye Xuan took advantage of the situation and stuffed the ball into Solomon Hill's hands. , Solomon Hill also pulled up and hit a three-pointer, 3:0.

The Pacers served from the backcourt, and Teague slowly controlled the basketball to the frontcourt, and then handed the ball to Pickle, who opened up the singles. Facing Solomon Hill's defense, Pickle did not hesitate. Ambiguous, he directly used his body to force Hill, and Ye Xuan on the side also knew that Solomon Hill alone could not defend against Pickled Pepper, so when the two were entangled, Ye Xuan touched him quietly, ready to fight against Pickled Pepper. Pepper double-teamed. Unexpectedly, Pickled Pepper was also very witty. When Ye Xuan was about to double-team, he suddenly jumped up and passed the ball. Teague also made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, 3:3.

Ye Xuan knew that the Pacers now had Ibaka inside, but Tyson Chandler was still their biggest weakness, so he immediately chose Gasol to help with the pick-and-roll in the next round. The former team chose to switch defenses, Ye Xuan was also merciless, and directly chose a misplaced single to play Chandler. Chandler, who was already a little clumsy, was Ye Xuan's opponent, and was almost knocked down by Ye Xuan. He stabilized his figure, but he also lost his defensive position, and Ye Xuan easily scored two points.

Looking back, the Pacers also followed suit, using Ibaka to help Pickle pick and roll, and then let Pickle singles Randall succeed, and returned a two-pointer to the Pacers.Then the Lakers' side Ye Xuan hit the iron with a three-pointer, and the Pacers' side used Ibaka's pick-and-roll again, and Teague returned to the perimeter waiting for Ibaka to hit two points and took the initiative on the court.

I have to say that the tactics of the Pacers team have indeed been enriched after getting Ibaka, but Ye Xuan feels that the current Pacers team is actually a weakened version of the Pacers team that won the championship in 14. Ibaka was the David West back then, Tyson Chandler was the Hibbert back then, and although Jeff Teague couldn't match his own strength, he was also the same as George Hill at the time. Not much difference, plus JR-Smith and Lou Williams on the bench, the firepower is also not much different from the substitutes of the Pacers team that he led back then. It is reasonable to say that the 14-year Pacers The team's championship lineup is still quite powerful, but this is also their weakness.Other teams are in a frantic arms race. A large number of powerful players are gathered in a few strong teams, so the strength of the strong teams is getting stronger and stronger. Now you are trying to replicate the success of the championship lineup a few years ago , how can there be such an easy thing?

So the result is also obvious. The Pacers started the game with one win and two losses, and they did not meet their original expectations. Of course, this has something to do with Pickle's attitude. The move of abandoning all his friends and coaches still makes Paojiao feel a little chilled. His contract still has two years to wait until next summer. If Paojiao refuses to renew his contract with the Pacers, it is estimated that the Pacers will He had to be traded out, and the current Pickled Pepper is obviously similar to Westbrook of the Thunder, but the difference is that the source of Westbrook's anger comes from the betrayal of his brother, while Pickled Pepper feels that I am not valued by the management, or my will is not valued by the management, so I kind of want to escape here.

Naturally, the Lakers will not let their opponents be arrogant on their own territory. Ye Xuan immediately took control of the ball and came to the frontcourt. In the hands of Wade, Wade flashed Tyson Chandler's block in the air after receiving the ball, and then hit the ball.

The Pacers' offense also started to have problems. Ibaka's three-point shot missed. Although the rebound was shot by Chandler, Pickle's second shot after receiving the basketball still failed to hit. , Randall grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then immediately handed the ball to Wade on the side. As for Ye Xuan, he is almost down to the midfield. Wade's super long pass is also proficient. No way, they found Ye Xuan who was running up the frontcourt. Ye Xuan received the pass and easily made a back dunk to overtake the score again.

The two teams had a hot start, and the fans at the Staples Arena were not idle. They began to display various slogans and small cartoons they hand-painted to mock Kevin Pritchard. He chanted thanking Kevin Pritchard for the ball or for an assist, as if Pritchard was actually their team's general manager.

This is also fortunate that Kevin Pritchard did not come to the scene to watch the game, otherwise he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.Of course, Pritchard's life is not easy now. Since the Pacers were eliminated last season, some fans have blamed Pritchard for all this, accusing him of only looking at immediate interests, He traded the future of the team. Of course, there are not a few people who accuse him of being impersonal. After all, many consecutive transactions make people feel that he is indeed a bit too cold-blooded. in this way.Even the fans of the home team don't wait to see him so much, which shows that Kevin Pritchard is living like a year now.

The first quarter of the game quickly reached the 7th minute, and the game also entered the stage of the first TV timeout. The Lakers took advantage of this opportunity to replace Wade and Randall with Clarkson. As well as Nick Young, the Pacers also replaced Derrick Rose and the rookie they traded last year, Myles Turner.

After the timeout ended, the game continued immediately, but the style of the Lakers suddenly changed. They were playing well with the Pacers and quickly counterattacked, but now the style changed, and it suddenly became pure It's a fast break, and it's not only biased towards Princeton's style of play, but also an improved version of the style of play similar to the Warriors' death five.

Of course, this tactic is also making use of Ye Xuan, who can play from the first position to the third position or even the fourth position. The main scoring players of this lineup have become Gasol and Nick Young. Ye Xuan is in this lineup. Although Zhong seems to still be playing the ball-handling role, he is playing the role of an inside power forward in defense. In this way, the speed of the team has increased, and there is still no big problem when defending. Ye Although Xuan's height of 2 meters will suffer some losses when defending Miles Turner, the effect is not too bad.So in the next 7 minutes, the Pacers were beaten a little bit. Not only were the Lakers hitting all the balls for three consecutive rounds, but they also failed to score a point. They were hammered by the Lakers with a 0: [-]'s Xiao Gaochao.

Nate McMillan also had to call a timeout to think about countermeasures, but to be honest, there are some problems in the current Pacers locker room. Teddy has a good relationship, while Louis Williams has a good relationship with Chandler, Myles Turner and Teague, plus Ibaka and Rose are also in their own group, so the Pacers The locker room can be said to be very lively. The reason why the first three games of this season won one and two losses is mostly because of internal problems within the team.

In fact, this is also easy to explain. The Pacers never considered the player's own feelings in the trade. After Rose was traded, he thought he was the main force of the iron fight, but he didn't expect that he was the regular season MVP of the generation. It can only be arranged to play as a substitute, so Rose and Teague are naturally at odds, and now there is still a problem, that is, the team's ball distribution is also a bit uneven. Teague is basically fine when he holds the ball, but when the substitute lineup At the time, Louis Williams basically didn't pass the ball to JR-Smith, and Rose didn't pass the ball to Lu Wei, so the substitute seemed to be powerful, but in fact it was scattered.

At the end of the timeout, Nate McMillan could only temporarily replace Pickle with JR-Smith, and let the small group of JR-Smith and Shumpert lead Turner and Chandler to fight.I have to say that this lineup is really stupid. Basically, they don’t have any independent offensive ability. The only thing they can do is watch Rose break through and split the ball alone, or watch JR-Smith make a jumper. Unconscious, the singles ability has dropped too much, and JR's nerve knife is also punctual and inaccurate, which makes the Pacers very uncomfortable.

As a result, the substitution this time naturally still failed to achieve any good results. In the remaining two minutes of the first quarter, although the Pacers broke their own scoring shortage, the defensive problem remained and was once again defeated. The Lakers played a 7:4 and expanded the point difference to double digits.At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led by a full ten points.

The only thing that the Pacers can be thankful for now is that Ye Xuan and Solomon Hill have not been replaced in the first quarter, so they will definitely have to rest in the second quarter, and Pickled Pepper in the first quarter The game lasted less than 10 minutes, so at the beginning of the second quarter, they just changed to grab the gun and score or something.

But the atmosphere of the locker room on the Lakers side is indeed incomparable to the Pacers side, and the embarrassing problem reappeared. If pickled peppers are replaced, will Lu Wei be replaced?In the first quarter of the game, Lu Wei was not allowed to play for 1 minute, and Lu Wei was replaced, so will Rose be replaced?Shumpert has played a whole quarter of the game, should he continue to play as a lubricant among these people?Thinking of this, Nate McMillan is about to scold Pritchard to death. If Pritchard hadn't messed around, this team wouldn't be so difficult to deal with now. Everyone is not thinking about it now. In basketball, if you still want to win the championship, winning shit is almost the same.

The Lakers, as everyone expected, replaced Ye Xuan, Solomon Hill and Gasol with Felton, Speights and Larry Nance Jr. It still follows the characteristics of the previous lineup, that is, the rotation speed is extremely fast, and the ability to seize opportunities when switching offense and defense is also very strong. After all, Felton also played offensive basketball in New York for a period of time. , For this rhythm, he is like a fish in water, and Speights is also very familiar with this rhythm, so as soon as Walton Jr.'s tactic came out, he directly activated these people on the bench.

And speaking of changes, under Ye Xuan's words and deeds, Nick Young has also begun to develop into the next sharpshooter, and his shooting stability is much better than before. At least he will not be called a nerve knife like before. , so the combat effectiveness of the Lakers has been improving.
