Chapter 134: The Pelican (1/23)
After Wei Zhiming joined up with his teammates, yesterday's assault punishment came out, and Josh Smith was fined $50,000 and banned for two games for making the first move. And Jabari Parker was fined $25,000 and not banned.
Hearing the news, Wei Zhiming immediately praised the league's punishment, and couldn't help but play well, the fines are all trivial, Wei Zhiming personally helped Jabari Parker pay the fine, we are not short of money.
Wei Zhiming has dealt with Anthony Davis not once or twice, and the classic matchup between the two is still in the eyes of fans.
The Bucks' starting lineup remains unchanged today, while the Pelicans' starting lineup is point guard Norris Kerr, shooting guard Terrick Evans, small forward Alonzo Key, power forward Anthony Davis, and center Omir Asik.
When Wei Zhiming was standing on the court, he saw Anthony Davis, and Anthony Davis personally came and invited Wei Zhiming to jump the ball.
"Don't jump, I'm tired." Wei Zhiming decisively refused, what kind of joke, isn't this looking for abuse?
The Bucks' four-game winning streak, especially since they just finished playing against the Rockets yesterday and ran to New Orleans today, it is normal for them to be physically exhausted.
Davis and Larry jumped the ball, and Davis, who was playing at home, was more physically strong, and he jumped the ball to win.
Today is the last away game of the Bucks' four consecutive away games, everyone is tired, Wei Zhiming is better, but he has no system, how can he stop Anthony Davis.
After Davis came to the frontcourt, he directly stuck in the position to beat Wei Zhiming with his back, his height and arm span are not much different from Wei Zhiming, and his body is tough. Wei Zhiming was behind him, and he was directly hit by him and took two steps back.
"Haha, are you tired?" Davis laughed, he squeezed Wei Zhiming away, and completed a violent dunk under the basket!
Then Davis beat his chest, "Hmph, you're too weak, you're too weak, I thought I could have a high-level competition with you today, but I didn't expect you to be too weak!" ”
Davis snickered in his heart, Wei Zhiming hit the rookie wall, this is the best moment for himself to rub him.
Davis still remembers the contest between him and Wei Zhiming when Wei Zhiming was still on the Clippers, and Wei Zhiming's strength at that time was simply terrifying.
And now Wei Zhiming's strength is just a weak chicken, and it seems that Wei Zhiming is not familiar with the NBA's high-intensity schedule.
Some Chinese fans watching the game blinked, what happened to Wei Zhiming, he didn't seem to be in good health for a while.
The Bucks attacked, Chris Middleton missed a jumper, his force was significantly less, and it seemed that everyone was affected.
Wei Zhiming defended Davis again, this time, Wei Zhiming directly chose to go around the front defense, and he did not let Davis receive the ball.
Defending around the front is the basic skill of NBA players, and the defense around the front is a defensive skill that interferes with the opponent's receiving the ball near the penalty area in advance, and is mainly used to defend strong power forwards and centers with very strong single ability.
Defending around the front is suitable for defenders who are nimble, physically coordinated, and explosive, and is a devastating way to defend opponents who are slow, have rough technique, and have a low basketball IQ.
Originally, a player like Davis was placed on the inside line of ordinary blacks or whites, and he didn't need to go around the front defense, after all, he was not O'Neal and Yao Ming, and his singles ability was not too strong.
But in terms of Wei Zhiming's physical fitness, Davis is a big shark, and Wei Zhiming can't restrain him under normal circumstances.
Paul Millsap was only 201CM tall, and Wei Zhiming was forced to eat several by him, and when he came to Anthony Davis, who was as tall as him and had an excellent arm span, he would be even more exposed.
Defending around the front is just a defensive method, Wei Zhiming wants to cut off the point guard's drop ball to Davis, there is only one basketball, you have no ball, can you continue to dunk me?
However, defending around the front can't really lock Davis, otherwise as long as it touches the inside line, it will go around the front, and the inside line will be scrapped long ago.
Seeing that he was being circumvented, Davis immediately mentioned that he would choose to respond to the high position, and he would not be stupid enough to wait for the basketball to hang his hand, it would be too easy to be cut.
The Pelicans started to play pick-and-roll, and they had a high morale today and a tough offense.
On the other hand, today's Bucks' momentum is not very good, Wei Zhiming can't restrain Davis, and his speed and strength are not Davis's opponents.
The Bucks' players are tired, and Jason Kidd can see it at a glance, and he directly removed all the main forces of the Bucks during the official timeout and let the bench go.
Rotate your lineup early.
At the official timeout, the Pelicans led the Bucks by seven points at 14-7, which was already a big margin because the game had only just started six minutes.
After the Bucks came off the bench, they played better than the main team, after all, they didn't play much, they had a lot of energy, and they wanted to show themselves one by one. Hit that called a positive.
Jason Kidd squinted, he looked at the Bucks' main team looking weak, and then at the jumping bench, he decided to let the main team rest today, as for the outcome of the game, he didn't care.
Jason Kidd is still very popular with the Bucks, he came to the Bucks last year and brought the Bucks to the playoffs, and this year, the Bucks are fourth in the East for the first time.
Jason Kidd doesn't care about the outcome of a game, he wants to make sure that the Bucks' players are complete, and as long as the Bucks players are all healthy, he dares to touch that championship trophy.
After the Bucks replaced the main team, they did not let the main team play, which made many Chinese fans very unhappy, and when people took turns to rest, they were basically at the end of the regular season.
It's really willful.
Chinese fans complained that Jason Kidd didn't care about it at all, there was no pressure on him, not to mention that this year's Bucks were stronger, and he would only be praised.
After all, Jason Kidd brought a big change to the Bucks to fourth place in the East, and the owner was so satisfied that he even wanted to give Jason Kidd a big red envelope.
Because of the improvement of the Bucks' record, Wei Zhiming's brave performance and Wei Zhiming's Chinese identity, the Bucks boss has experienced Alexander's happiness at the beginning.
After the Bucks replaced the bench, the bench played quite well, and the Bucks reversed the Pelicans 23-22 in the first quarter; One point ahead.
