Chapter 66: Stealing the Teacher's Results
By halftime, Li Du had to admit that Kidd's way of passing the ball was too difficult!
Kidd's movements were deceptively simple, there was no exaggerated back-pass, and there was no breakthrough to attract the opponent's defense, and then suddenly passed to the open space like a ghost, and on a few occasions, Kidd didn't even move his feet when he passed! But with every pass, it hits the weakest part of the opponent's defense, or directly on the hole!
This requires not only superb passing skills, but also the characteristics and shortcomings of every teammate and opponent on the entire court.
It's about controlling the whole stadium, and even the whole game!
Li Du had a hint of enlightenment: "No wonder for so many years, no one has been able to imitate Kidd, let alone stop his passing!" I have so much to learn compared to him! ”
When Li Du sighed, on the side of the Nets, Kidd was baffled by him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Throughout the first half, in addition to not allowing Kidd to score, Li Du didn't even stop him from rushing inside! Such a defensive strategy may be uncomfortable for many offensive-oriented defenders now, but for a point and pass master like Kidd, there is no pressure at all!
In Kidd's opinion, today's Li Du is very abnormal! Kidd has watched Li Du's previous games, and even analyzed it with the coaching staff, Li Du is called "the nightmare of the opposing players" and there is absolutely no exaggeration!
But today, Li Du's defense of Kidd seemed to be very good, so that Kidd did not score in the entire first half, and even had few shots, but as Kidd, who is a passer who dominates the league, why does he have to score?
Kidd is a very traditional point guard who puts the team's offense first, and his desire to assist is far greater than his desire to attack. Many times, Kidd's scoring is not high, and it is usually about 10 points at most, so defending his score is not important to the entire Nets team at all.
In fact, from another point of view, a player like Kidd is the most difficult of all players to defend! Anyone who has ever played knows that it is not difficult to prevent a person from scoring, but it is too difficult to prevent a person from passing, or even breaking a pass!
It's extremely difficult to break a pass from an ordinary person, let alone a master of passing like Kidd. However, this passing master basically doesn't need to attack by himself, and with just the right pass, he can drive the whole team to run smoothly!
A top player who only passes the ball and doesn't attack is almost impossible to defend!
In the Lakers' locker room, the atmosphere was a little bad, and before the game, he hoped to use Li Du's desperate defense to block Kidd and bring the entire Nets' offense to a standstill. Any team, as long as the offense is stagnant, it will inevitably bring defensive weaknesses, basketball offense and defense are extremely fast, the offense is not good, the defense is likely to be untimely!
And Li Du's defense of Kidd can't be said to be bad, in the entire first half, Kidd only shot twice, and was seriously interfered with by Li Du, and finally didn't score. And Li Du didn't foul, Kidd didn't have a free throw opportunity, and after the entire first half, Kidd didn't score a point!
Kidd didn't score a point, but he got nine assists! He got nine assists in the first half alone, and if the whole game was played, maybe it would have been much! With Kidd's kind of assist ability, it's not impossible to get 20 assists!
Led by Kidd, the Nets ended the first half with a huge lead of 53-41, 12 points. The Nets blossomed as a team, with Carter scoring 15 points in the first half and Jefferson scoring 12 points, and many of their high scores were closely related to Kidd, which is why the Nets were able to lead the Lakers by as many as 12 points on the road.
The Lakers' side was not very good, Kobe Bryant also scored 15 points in the first half, but the others basically did not contribute, Odom as the second scoring point only scored 7 points, and Li Du only got one chance to shoot and hit a three-pointer.
Li Du's mind is not on the score now, he is still recalling the terrible passing method when he was in opposition to Kidd, who had insight into the opportunity and controlled the overall situation. He sat in his place, his head bowed, frowning slightly, and whispering something in his mouth.
"Lee, Lee!" Kobe Bryant shouted Li Du twice, Li Du didn't hear it, Kobe walked up to Li Du, patted him hard, and asked, "Li, what's wrong with you today?" I didn't even answer to call you twice! ”
"Oh, Boss." Li Du looked up at Kobe Bryant and responded: "It's nothing, I was just thinking, Kidd's method of driving the whole team with passing is too powerful, if only I could be like him." ”
Seeing that Li Du didn't show mercy to Kidd because he liked it, Kobe didn't say anything, Fisher smiled on the side: "Li, do you think Kidd is so easy to imitate?" He grew up on the street courts, and his passing looks simple, but it's all carefully calculated! Over the years, many people have learned and imitated him, but no one has ever succeeded! ”
Seeing that everyone else agreed, and looked thoughtful, Li Du took a deep breath and said seriously: "Indeed, Kidd's predecessors controlled the game with passing, and I can't do such a powerful performance for the time being, but we have a saying in China that the emperor pays off!" I'm sure I'll learn sooner or later as I fight him more and more! And ......"
Li Du chuckled a little proudly: "It's not that I haven't learned at all, at least, I understand how to pass the ball to the easiest teammate to score when the opponent's defense has a hole!" ”
"Huh?" When Kobe and the Zen master heard this, their eyes lit up, and Kobe Bryant immediately asked, "Lee, are you sure you can see the opponent's defensive holes and pass the ball over at that moment?" ”
With Kobe's question, the Zen master's eyes were also on Li Du. So Li Du replied solemnly: "Boss, coach, don't worry, I can see the defensive holes, and I can pass the ball over!" I'm pretty sure of that! ”
The Zen master kept his usual smile and said, "Lee, you have a talent that even Kobe Bryant would be jealous of, but no matter who you are, you can't learn to see through the defensive holes in such a short period of time, let alone pass the ball over at that moment." You know, the basketball court changes very fast, and opportunities are fleeting! A lot of offensive opportunities need to be predicted in advance! It's almost impossible to do this without a lot of experience! ”
The Zen master's words are repudiating Li Du's point of view, but the words are more about asking Li Du, how can he do it?
