Chapter 166 [Meet Calderon Again]

On December 30, the Warriors played at home against the Raptors.

When it came time to arrange defensive tactics, Nelson Sr. made adjustments. "Zach, today you have to pay attention to the defense, change the block, and follow the outside players. Outside compression defense, 122 joint defense, don't let them easily go to the box to shoot. ”

Randolph was depressed when he heard this, isn't it difficult for me? Fortunately, it is a 122 joint defense, not 32, otherwise it would have to face the impact of the defender after blocking and dismantling countless times.

The Raptors are mostly shooting players from the outside, and Bosh also likes to attack at the top of the arc. It must be difficult to win by shooting, and the Raptors have a disappointing record this season, and I am afraid they will not be able to make the playoffs. After Calderon started in place of TJ Ford, the defense dropped a notch. Today, the Warriors still have to fight the offense, and they can't fight the Lakers, but there should be no problem playing the Raptors.

After arranging the tactics, old Nelson called Zhou Xuan aside and instructed: "The focus of the attack in this game should be on the inside, if there is a chance to let Bidrinsy play as much as possible, understand?" ”

"Of course, if the coach wants him to get good stats, he can send Bagnani when he comes on." Zhou Xuan said lightly.

"What did you guess?"

"It's about to be traded." Zhou Xuan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Many media outlets have broken the news that Randolph and Biedlings are not suitable, and it will not be groundless. According to the experts, the coaching staff should also take it seriously.

Old Nelson didn't deny it, and smiled: "You are indeed different from other people, and it will definitely be finalized before the star game, don't say it to others." ”

Zhou Xuan nodded, the players involved in the trade can increase the value of the transaction, and the old Nelson wants to make the data of Bidrinsy more beautiful. There's nothing wrong with him sitting on the inside, and there aren't many players who can easily play Biedrins in the low post.

The atmosphere on the court is very warm, and the attendance rate at Oracle Court this season is very high, surpassing that of the Black Eight Mavericks, and in the context of the economic crisis, the Warriors' ball market makes many teams feel envious.

Standing on the court, Calderon looked at Zhou Xuan with indifferent eyes, he wanted to take revenge in this game, but he didn't know how Zhou Xuan was also trying to beat him.

Raptors starting lineup Calderon, Capono, Moon, Bosh, Jermaine? O'neill.

The Warriors started Zhou Xuan, Morrow, Azubuuk, Randolph, and Biedrins.

Raptors veteran Anthony? Parker sat on the bench, and Zhou Xuan was happy when he saw this arrangement, didn't he let him play casually? If Moon defends him, Azubuuk will have a chance, so the Raptors will definitely have one of Calderon and Capono to play against him.

Zhou Xuan quickly analyzed the other party's plan, the Raptors' bench outside attack power was too poor, and Parker was put on the bench lineup to lead the players to attack, but Parker's own attack power was not very strong.

The game began, Biedrins jumped the ball to win O'Neal Jr., and the ball was passed to Zhou Xuan to organize. Zhou Xuan took a look at the position of the Raptors, and like them, they were compressing defense. Zhou Xuan waved his hand after half the court, and everyone pulled away, he wanted to play by himself.

Did he think he could easily get past me? Don't be arrogant this time, Calderon thought to himself. He's been working very hard defensively lately, and of course, that's what he thinks. Even if he works hard defensively, he is not qualified, which can be seen in the Olympics for Liu Wei to get a high score.

Zhou Xuan gestured to Moreau before the attack, signaling him to switch positions with Azubuuk, mentioning 60 degrees to the right side, and Azubuke went to the bottom line. This can involve Moon's defense, Capono's defensive ability is very poor, if he dares to help defend, he immediately passes Moro to kill them, and the players are in position to save their strength, but it is difficult to assist Biedrins in this way.

Zhou Xuan took the ball to face Calderon, suddenly accelerated, his right shoulder probed forward, Calderon moved slightly to the right, Zhou Xuan knew that his feet were not solid, and then dribbled behind his back to his left hand to change direction to the left, and took a step to the left. Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball under his crotch with his left hand and handed it over to his right hand, taking a big step to the right and making a double change of direction.

Calderon couldn't change his center of gravity to defend anymore, Zhou Xuan burst into the three-point line, took the ball on the right side and jumped to 45 degrees, and Calderon opened a large distance.

It's a technique he's learned from repeatedly studying the Heat's game tapes. Wade can often jump and shake off opponents while on the move, and he can also get to the basket for layups in the gap. Zhou Xuan is not as strong as Wade, his explosiveness is limited, and it is easy to get capped if he jumps into the pile, but it is still okay to better open up space when passing people by jumping one-on-one.

Calderon must not have been able to catch up after turning around. Capono shrank very hard and let go of Moreau's defense. Zhou Xuan immediately passed the ball to the periphery. Morrow received the ball and shot a three-pointer in the open position, and the hollow went into the net. 3 to 0.

Calderon went to chase Zhou Xuan, but he couldn't change the defense of Morrow in time, this attack is very beautiful.

The Raptors attacked, Calderon and Bosh blocked and dismantled, bypassing Zhou Xuan and going to the right, and Randolph changed the defense. His choice of this ball is more correct, if the side Morrow changes defense, he will vacate Capono, which is a fierce man with a 90% shooting rate in practice, and it is not possible to let it go.

Calderon passed the ball to the middle, and Bosh stretched out his long arm, won the basketball, and leaned on Zhou Xuan to turn to the left. Zhou Xuan knew that he couldn't carry the "Dragon King", so he took a step back to block the breakthrough route, and stretched out his hand to prepare for a steal. Bosh almost got out of the basketball, but luckily he got the ball back and stood high. Zhou Xuan immediately stepped forward and stood close to him, and raised his hands high in front of Bosh.

Another trick taught by Jackson is to interfere with the shot in time, close to the body is a good way, and it will be awkward to have someone in front of him to block the shot. With this kind of small physical contact, the referee generally does not blow fouls, as long as he does not reach out and push people. Bosh chose a dry pull-out jumper, Zhou Xuan stepped forward and pushed him with his chest, and the referee saw it, but he raised his hands as if he was in a backward posture, so he didn't blow it. This is a kind of visual difference, Zhou Xuan's body leaned back slightly, but it was not Bosh who jumped forward to top him, but he deliberately did it after he pushed people.

The ball did disrupt Bosh's rhythm with a shot that went wide and the rebound was picked up by Biedrins and passed to Morrow. Calderon kept up with Zhou Xuan, making it impossible for him to catch the ball easily, Zhou Xuan slowed down and retreated to receive a pass from his teammate and landed in battle.

still pulled the fight, and Zhou Xuan singled out Calderon.

He wants to make the Raptors unable to shrink in, and hit a few heads-up, and the joint defense will be broken. This time, Moon mentioned the vicinity of the high position, of course, the purpose was to prevent Zhou Xuan from breaking through, but Mo Luo would still be let go, as long as they were so defended.

Zhou Xuan glanced at Mo Luo, then looked at Moon, and suddenly dribbled under his crotch to his left hand and broke through to the left. With these two glances, he gave Calderón a psychological hint that he still wanted to go to the right, attract the defense and pass to Moreau. As a result, when Calderon was thinking about how to change the defense of Morrow, Zhou Xuan accelerated and successfully broke through from the left.

Capono's awareness of helping to defend is almost zero, Moon is on the right, and it can only be O'Neal Jr. who lets go of Biderings to defend. Randolph had a tacit understanding of standing still from the other side, so that Bosh could not move. Zhou Xuan saw that little O'Neill came up, and immediately hit the ground and passed to the bottom line. Biedrins withdrew a step to catch the ball very comfortably, started a one-handed dunk, O'Neal Jr. turned around and defended the basket slowly, watching the opponent dunk the basket in. 5 to 0.

With two assists in a row, Calderón was depressed again. He thought he was well prepared, but he didn't expect that he couldn't prevent it. Zhou Xuan's strength lies in the fact that you don't know what he is going to do next, and he is also very good at confusing opponents.

Calderon led the half, and Zhou Xuan waited at the top of the arc, without close defense. Calderon broke through from the left with a team-mate's cover, and Randolph switched defenses. Although the speed was not fast enough, Randolph did defend it, followed by a distance, and did not prevent the attack.

Zhou Xuan immediately went around the front to defend Bosh, and Bosh immediately ran to the inside line and did not receive the ball in the middle. Biedrins made up for the basket, and Zhou Xuan directly let go of Bosh and ran towards O'Neal Jr. Calderón passed to Bosh. As soon as Biedrins went up, Bosh opted for a strong play instead of passing.

Fortunately, he has limited passing awareness, if he passes O'Neal Jr., it will be a mistake if he is not careful, Zhou Xuan bent his waist and ran towards O'Neal Jr. behind Bosh to block their passing route. Bosh jumped up with a small lever in the air to dodge the cover and pick a basketball in. 5 to 2.

That's what makes him characteristic, and if you look online for Bosh's highlights of the goal, you'll find that he's just a little bigger Maddie.

The Warriors attacked, Zhou Xuan took the ball and did it himself, or Calderon defended. If the coach doesn't adjust, Moon will definitely not take the initiative to adjust the defense, he will follow his own people, after all, this guy is from a performance basketball background, and he has a good single defense breakthrough, but his awareness is very average.

How will he play this ball? Calderon saw Zhou Xuan glance in the direction of Morrow, and then looked at Moon again, thinking that it wouldn't be the left side again, right? I lowered my center of gravity and said nothing this time I wouldn't let you pass.

As soon as he lowered his body, Zhou Xuan raised the arc and threw it, the movements of the two were very synchronized, just like a good discussion, Calderon hurriedly stepped forward to block, slow, Zhou Xuan shot very fast, and the ball went along the rim after smashing the basket. 8 to 2.

"Three-pointers! Stephen Chow! Stanley, the home commentator, shouted passionately.

Partner Hank said with a smile: "Recently, Zhou Xuan's offense has become more and more confident, the Nuggets have wrapped him, the Lakers let Kobe Bryant defend him, and now the Raptors let Calderon defend alone, he doesn't seem to feel any pressure." ”

"The Raptors really don't have a good defensive player on the perimeter," Stanley said. ”

Calderon couldn't restrain Zhou Xuan, but he didn't play randomly, he still relied on blocking and dismantling, and dribbled the ball around Zhou Xuan to face Randolph. Randolph was a little slower to follow, and Calderon went past and threw the ball in before Biedrins could defend it. 8 to 4.

"Zach, concentrate, it's okay to be over, chase and defend!" Zhou Xuan said when he received the bottom ball.

"I know it." Randolph replied. Glancing at Biedrins. He was reluctant to prevent Lu Dao, and he didn't know what coach Lu Dao had changed his mind about.
