Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 156 [It's not just shooting basketball]

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes.

Nets point guard Lucios, shooting guard Kittles, small forward Korver, Rodney and Aaron Williams inside.

The Sonics have Ridnour, Ronald Murray, Brent Barry, Evans, and Vitali Potapanko on the side.

In previous games, the Nets' substitutes were always unable to stand up, the defense was poor, and the offense had no backbone. Scott's adjustment method is to put one or two main players on the bench and take turns to rest.

Kittles didn't play in the first quarter, full of energy and led the substitutes to show off.

The 201cm tall power forward Rodney has been reused, standing in the left corner and waiting for a pass, and Korver is active on the right. Kittles runs around looking for opportunities, the position is not fixed, Rucios, who has the fastest pace, hits the pick-and-roll in the middle.

Rodney took the lead, hit a three-pointer from the left corner, and then Korver also scored, got rid of the ball off the screen, and made a three-pointer from a 60-degree right side. It was backup center Potapanko who missed out twice.

Few people remember that Potapanko was the golden generation in 1996. He was selected by the Cavaliers with the 12th overall pick in the first round, ahead of Kobe. He is only 208cm tall, weighs 127kg, and has only 10.8 points and 7.2 rebounds at his peak.

He can only play in the low position on the defensive end, as a meat shield, the Nets simply have no one who needs him to resist.

After playing a few rounds, Kittles scored two consecutive three-pointers. The Nets played a wave of 12 to 4. McMillan hurriedly requested a timeout, and the point difference had widened to 19 points.

For Barkley, schadenfreude is the root of joy. "As soon as the coach was changed, the Nets' benches exploded. I don't know how Scott will feel? The players he doesn't like are all playing very well. In the past, the Nets' benches had no tactics, but were responsible for defense. Now the tactics are very good. Clear, run, cover the perimeter to find opportunities, the opponents will shoot when they come out of the inside, and they are fast when counterattacking."

Smith didn't mention Scott, and commented seriously: "No team has ever relied on three-point offense like this. After losing Mourning, the Nets seem to plan to use this extreme style of play."

Barkley said with a smile: "The Nets played beautifully this time, but it's hard to say what results they will achieve in the end. You can't win a championship just by shooting. Once the playoffs become stronger, it will be difficult for players to guarantee the touch."

The commentators still like to compliment the old-school style of play. Each team has a big center as the pivot, proper low-post offense, combination of inside and outside, and offense from the inside out.

The Nets are reversed, even if the offensive position is from the outside to the inside, the players pull away, and the inside offense is at best an empty cut.

This change was forced, because there is no one who is good at attacking the low post. Lawrence discussed with assistant coaches Larry Drew, Kidd and others, and believed that if the Nets wanted to play well, they could only focus their offense on the periphery.

The substitute played well. Kidd, Jefferson and Martin all got a full rest and played six minutes later.

Wang Jun did not come back, and Kittles continued to fight.

He immediately felt an uncomfortable feeling of being abandoned. Sitting on the sidelines watching the game, every minute was a torment.

If possible, he hopes to play the full 48 minutes in each game.

Wang Jun's worries will immediately show on his face. Lawrence saw that he was a little restless, so he called him to his side and comforted him: "Don't worry, as soon as they replace Radmanovich, I will let you Come out, you did a good job guarding him. Right now against Barry, Kerry is better."

Wang Jun nodded, he could understand that this was a tactical need.

Kittles is playing well at the moment.

If you run into big men, especially good at confrontation, Kittles may become a defensive hole.

With a height of 201 cm and a weight of only 88 kg, Barry is very suitable for him. Both of them are skilled. It is difficult for a defender to pass Kittles with his skills.

After the timeout, the Sonics strengthened their defense on the perimeter, and the Nets' offensive efficiency dropped.

Ray Allen and Lewis hit three-pointers respectively,

Bite the score.

In the last three minutes, the point difference was 13 points, 52 to 39.

The Supersonics replaced Ridnor and Radmanovich, and Wang Jun replaced Jefferson.

Jefferson has made three fouls and needs to rest for a while. He only scored 6 points and is mainly responsible for defending Ray Allen.

McMillan is very bold in employing people. There is no point guard on the court. Both Barry and Ray Allen have organizational skills and are better at three-pointers. He hopes to use this method to open up the situation.

Kittles continued to guard Barry, and Kidd faced Ray Allen.

Radmanovich basically stood still on the offensive end. Wang Jun relied on him to find a confrontation while watching his teammates. He could learn a lot from watching Kidd's defense at close range.

In terms of speed, Jefferson is similar to Kidd, but he was passed by Ray Allen many times before, and he relied on the inside defense to not be completely blown.

Kidd is the main defense, and Ray Allen's breakthrough is not so easy.

Kidd stepped forward the moment Ray Allen received the ball. Ray Allen retreated to create space for the ball. Kidd also retreated a little. As soon as the opponent changed direction, he immediately blocked the breakthrough route.

The two moved in sync as if they had discussed it.

Ray Allen stepped back for a jumper, Kidd reached out to interfere, and the ball missed the basket. Wang Jun saw the opportunity to go inside, the ball bounced to his side, and he took it off easily.

Kidd retreated to take the ball, stretched out three fingers, and slowly crossed the half court.

This is a secret signal, which means that Wang Jun moves in position 3 and his teammates cover.

A scholar died for his confidant, Wang Jun had already returned from his rest period, and was ready to run with all his strength.

Kidd will pass the ball regardless of whether his teammates are rookies or veterans, and having an advantage is the key.

On the court, the most obvious advantage is Wang Jun. He is faster than Radmanovic, and his shooting ability is not inferior to Kittles.

Collins covered in the middle, Wang Jun ran to the right corner at full speed, turned slightly sideways, and looked to the right.

Kidd saw the timing, took a big step laterally with the ball, hit the ground and passed the ball to Wang Jun.

Veteran Booth defended, Wang Jun made a false move, and the ball moved sideways with great strides.

The fourth pick in the second round is his luck?

Today, he wants to prove that he is not a "pure pitcher" as those experts say!

He doesn't just shoot!

Wang Jun used everything he knew, and his speed was much faster than the 211cm tall Booth.

The first step of the left foot flashed out of the space, followed by the second step with the right foot, Wang Jun and Booth opened up a position.

Breathe, kneel, jump, throw. Wang Jun's sense of rhythm is very good.

The basketball flew to the basket, and he said silently: "As long as you grasp the rhythm, you will definitely score the shot!"

Booth ran out in a hurry, and turned too slowly after braking. When he turned his head, Wang Jun had already stopped at 45 degrees for a jump shot. Radmanovic followed Collins to the basket and did not defend.

After the ball hit the board, it went into the frame cleanly, and Wang Jun scored 14 points personally. 54 to 39.

Ray Allen and Kidd stood outside the three-point line on the right and witnessed the whole process of the goal together.

At this moment, Lei Allen seemed to see his own shadow in Wang Jun.

The shot is very confident and has a good sense of rhythm, but the first step is not fast.

Ray Allen thinks that Wang Jun is a terrifying team player. Once he entered the league and partnered with a super guard, he may become a big dark horse among rookies this season!
