Chapter 65: Stealing Kidd
After the opening, Li Du countered Kidd according to the request of the Zen master. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info As in all previous matches, one-on-one, Kidd was never able to get past Li Du.
But the most terrifying thing about Kidd is not his offense, in his entire career, Kidd rarely scored more than 20 games, but his assists and grabbing backcourt rebounds to launch a fast break, and in the fast break with a seemingly simple, but actually exquisite pass, is his trick to become the top guard in the NBA today!
Kidd is very smart, he has watched Li Du's game video before, knows how strong Li Du's defensive ability is, and after testing it twice, he really can't get past Li Du, so he directly gave up this idea.
Giving up Li Du does not mean that Kidd has been limited in this game!
In the first seven minutes of the first quarter, Kidd scored 4 assists! His passing is very special, not as fancy as "White Chocolate" Williams, nor like Nash chasing the wind and the moon, his movements are unpretentious, even amateurs who have just come into contact with basketball can easily imitate, his passing speed is not too fast, many times it gives people a feeling of being broken, but every pass, it can drive the rhythm of his teammates, and every time he can pass to the weakest place of the opponent's defense in the shortest time!
Under Kidd's leadership, Carter and Jefferson exploded in full force in the first quarter. Carter scored 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including a one-handed big loop slam dunk in the air that opened Kwame Brown's stunning! Jefferson also contributed eight points and had three rebounds.
In the first quarter, the Lakers trailed by as many as 9 points at 24-33! And this is the result of Kobe Bryant seeing that the momentum was not right, and he was full of firepower in the first quarter, scoring 14 points alone. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Lakers will fall behind by more than 10 points in the first quarter!
In the face of Kidd's exquisite passing, Li Du has no way, he can prevent Kidd from breaking through, and even Kidd's shooting can be seriously interfered with, but Kidd doesn't attack at all, he always takes Li Du far away from the inside, and then through his rich experience and passing, he penetrates the entire Lakers' defense at once!
The weakness of the Lakers' interior defense was exposed in this game. At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Du and Kobe Bryant sat on the court to rest, Li Du looked at where Kidd was in a daze, Kobe looked at Li Du like this, and thought that he was hit by Kidd, patted him lightly, and said: "Li, don't think about it, if Kidd is so easy to be defended, he will not be the great core guard who will bring the team to the finals on his own!" ”
Li Du nodded and said seriously: "Kidd's predecessors are indeed very strong, and he can lead the whole team with passing, there are too few such people, Steve Nash is also known for passing, but his passing threat is mainly in blocking and fast breaking, Kidd is different, he seems to be able to adapt to any style of play and tactical system!" ”
Saying that, Li Du muttered: "Seize the flaws in the opponent's defense and give a fatal blow with a pass, in Kidd's seniors, I seem to see another possibility for myself!" ”
After coming on the court in the second quarter, Kidd suddenly found that Li Du's defensive strategy had changed! There is no sense of pressure, and he will not be allowed to break through easily, but Kidd moves the ball to the inside or other places, and Li Du does not block, but follows him step by step.
Of course, once Kidd wants to attack, Li Du's reaction will be very fast, and he can block between himself and the basket in an instant! Kidd has a feeling that if he wants to break through against Li Du, as long as he doesn't shoot, Li Du will not stop him!
"What is this kid trying to do?" Li Du's defensive strategy left Kidd confused.
Just when Kidd was puzzled, Carter said to Kidd when he was back in defense: "Jason, be careful, I think that Chinese kid has bad intentions!" In the first quarter, he pressed you step by step, and if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't prevent your passes, I'm afraid he would have let you enjoy the same treatment as Steve Nash! Now, I suspect he's trying to see through your passing path and cut off your pass! ”
"Really?" Kidd smiled nonchalantly, if Li Du really wanted to cut off his pass, he had mistaken his wishful thinking. Kidd has relied on two things for so many years in the league: one is the subtle, lethal pass with his own unique rhythm. The other is his own strong physical strength, but the defender's body has no less strength than the center! In the change of position defense, even against the inside player, there is no loss!
Cut off Kidd's pass? Li Du is not the first person to think so, and he will not be the last, but after so many years, who can cut off his pass?
Secretly paying close attention, Kidd found that Li Du really seemed to want to observe himself carefully, and then go to break the ball! Unconsciously revealing a sneer, Kidd yelled in his heart: "Wonder rookie, do you want to cut off my pass?" Then let you try! ”
Thinking so in his heart, Kidd was sharper on the offensive end, and sometimes even pulled Li Du to the middle line, waiting for Li Du to defend before passing a key goal!
"I see!" Li Du looked back and saw that even near the halfway line, Kidd still accurately and rhythmically passed the ball to Carter, who cut into the inside line, and after Carter received the ball in the air, he directly dunked! Sky, that's Carter's territory!
The Lakers' score is already 13 points behind the Nets, but Li Du doesn't seem to care at all, near the halfway, it is easier for him to see the entire Lakers' defensive formation, as well as the Nets' offensive strategy.
He whispered in his mouth: "Pull me and the boss away from the two players with excellent defensive ability, and then Carter cut through the cover and stagger the moment of his position, which is when there is a hole in the defense, and the pass of Kidd's predecessor is also passed to Carter's hands at that time!" Sure enough, this kind of passing is very powerful, and it requires the passer to see the intentions of his teammates and the opponent's defensive mistakes in advance before launching an attack! ”
Raising his head, Li Du looked at Kidd and praised him heartily: "Senior, you are really strong, I am not as much as you!" ”
Kidd didn't understand what Li Du meant, and while retreating back, he said perfunctorily: "Thank you for the compliment, you are not bad." ”
In fact, not only Kidd and Carter, but even the Lakers' teammates misunderstood Li Du. Li Du has always given the impression of being defense-oriented on the field, as he said when he first joined the team, for him, when he defends, is when he can attack freely!
So if Li Du is thinking about something, everyone's first reaction is that this guy is thinking about how to better defend the other party!
But this time, Li Du is not thinking about the problem of defense, his defense has reached the limit of what he can do so far, unless there is another major breakthrough in boxing, his defense can only be like this.
Li Du is right to observe Kidd carefully, but he hopes that through his careful observation of Kidd, he can learn Kidd's seemingly simple, but deadly pass that can drive the team's offense!
