Chapter 80: Cancer? Cornerstone? (Ask for a recommendation!!) )
After the timeout, Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan still emphasized the need to adopt a defensive strategy of crazy pressing and pressing against Yes and the SuperSonics.
In the first half of the quarter, this style of defense was ineffective.
But the effect is poor, it does not mean that the way is wrong!
There are so many newcomers to the Seattle SuperSonics, it just needs to make them unable to adapt to the intensity in the first place.
Can't wait for these newcomers to adapt to the intensity of the NBA game before pressing?
Yes is only 85 kg now, Webster is now 100 kg, as long as Webster can entangle Yes, then there is no suspense at all about the outcome of the two against each other!
It's not just the shooting guard position, the Trail Blazers' playmaker Jarrett Jack is 91 kilograms, and the supersonic playmaking guard Rajon Rondo is only 75 kilograms.
The physical confrontation of the Trail Blazers in these two positions has an absolute advantage.
And these two positions are also the most important positions for supersonic outside ball control.
As long as Yes and Rondo are suppressed, the supersonic attack will not be able to be played at all!
The heavy cavalry fights the infantry, and if it is not strong, do you still have to learn the slow and leisurely circle of the spurs?
McMillan didn't think there was anything wrong with his tactics!
It's not him who is at fault, it's the Trail Blazers players who don't have a defensive attitude on the court.
Since the players on the field are not working hard, then turn on the hair dryer!
As a disciple of George Carr, the NBA's most passionate coach, McMillan knows this very well!
"There's nothing in the NBA without confrontation, Martell, Jarrett, on intensity!"
Before the race, the media across the United States were hyping Yes's weight unchanged for 10,000 years, only 85 kilograms.
With Yes's reputation in the NCAA, he will definitely be the focus of all teams after entering the NBA.
Yes is not facing an intensity that the average rookie can match.
It's all like this, I don't want to gain weight to practice confrontation, it's not looking for death!
Yes's Garfield Hurricane will be extinguished in the NBA, although McMillan does not want the supersonic to sink, but he deeply believes that such public opinion in the United States!
And the mission to extinguish Hurricane Garfield began with him!
McMillan is the head coach of the Trail Blazers' rebuild, and his prestige with the Trail Blazers is not bad, but since he requires the Trail Blazers to defend more fiercely, the Trail Blazers players are not good at not executing.
Especially Yes did choke them enough in the first half of the quarter, and I have to save face!
Webster is very sad now, he wants to give Ye Si a confrontation, he wants to give Ye Si strength, but Ye Si doesn't give him a chance to give him strength at all!
He wanted to catch Yes, but Yes wouldn't catch him at all!
This made the head coach next to him think that he didn't do his best in defense, and Webster felt that he was very wronged!
"Yes's unrivalled movement is too strong! Brandon, Yes used to only do running training at the University of Washington?! ”
"No, even if you only do running training, you can't reach this level, how old is Yes now? And the high-level competition training can't reach such a level at all! ”
Seeing the excited speculation of his teammates on the Rockets around him, Roy wanted to say that Yes had barely done much running training in training.
It's not as long as he wields a baseball bat.
"McMillan hasn't found a problem yet!"
The technique of unrivaled movement often gives the illusion that your team's players are lazy defensively.
Webster's justification, McMillan simply did not believe.
If you really have to defend as much as you can, not to mention sticking to the opponent and knocking down the opponent, it's always okay, right? It's always okay to grab each other with your hands, right?
Why can't you stand like this?!
You say you're not taking a walk, so who is!
"Webster is trying, but Zach Randolph is lazy, he should help Webster delay Yes!"
Van Gundy Jr. still sympathized with Webster.
Webster's speed, bursts, and agility are not as good as Yes, and he doesn't have teammates to help him, and he doesn't look as good as Yes in terms of experience, so it's really strange to be able to give Yes strength on a one-on-one.
It can only be said that Yes's unrivaled running is too strong!
Yes didn't know what was against or without confrontation, he only knew that the thousands of games against the Pistons had taught him a lot of ways to play without using his body.
Ye Si doesn't want to lose his 'weightlessness' status, and what he relies on most now is speed and explosiveness, in addition to his two talents.
McMillan was right, in the NBA, there is nothing without confrontation.
But since there can be no confrontation for the time being, then we can only go one way to the dark.
He used the 04 pistons to train the off-ball running position to the god level!
It doesn't matter what is not confrontational or not.
It was only against Webster and the Trail Blazers that he was able to run without confrontation.
In the face of Hamilton and the Pistons, every time he gets a good shot, he will also be chased and hit on the way.
The most important role of his off-ball movement is to create opportunities for him to catch the ball and jump up and shoot!
"Webster was deceived by Yes's fake run, and compared to Yes, Webster, who has a season of NBA experience, is the rookie who has never played in the NBA!"
66… 54… 51… 65……
Ye Si, who jumped in the air, regretfully smashed the basketball in his hand to the inside.
Even if it feels good on a night, not every jump can brush his ideal feel value.
"Yes, who was completely out of chance, didn't shoot, jumped up and smashed the ball at Milicic on the inside!"
Every time Yees jumped, it was a test of Milicic's nerves.
Generally speaking, teammates jump up to shoot, and post players either drop back or get stuck to grab a rebound in the frontcourt.
Only Milicic neither retreats nor gets stuck to grab frontcourt rebounds, but is ready to take the pot at any time.
Every time he saw the cauldron flying towards him, Milicic would worry if someone would break it in the middle.
The heart was pounding.
"You can't go wrong, you can't go wrong!"
Jumping and passing in the NBA is much more difficult than in the NCAA, with too many hands in the middle and too easy to miss.
So the pot that Yes threw at Milicic was high and urgent.
If it weren't for Milicic's excellent physical talent and a period of professional training in receiving pots, even if he could jam the opposing player, he might not be able to catch it, and this pass was likely to be a mistake!
"Beautiful jumping pass, Milicic carried Travis Outlaw, who wanted to steal, and dunked it!"
"Wonderful air relay! Yes is so selfless! ”
Looking at Milicic with his hands hanging on the basket, McMillan on the sidelines was stunned.
Milicic used to be so motivated?
"Darko, well done!"
Pretty Nima!
You think I want to be so pretty?!
Yes passed the ball just now, which forced him to fight hard with others!
Milicic got off the basket and faced his teammates who came over to give him a high-five, his face dark.
If he didn't bump into others, it would be his mistake!
The coach would have said that Yes's passing was imaginative because of his incompetence that he couldn't receive such imaginative passes.
"Yes didn't dribble too much when the game started, but the SuperSonics passed Yes's hand almost every time they attacked."
"Yes played very well against the Trail Blazers' key defense, fully supporting the supersonic offense!"
At the end of the first quarter, the SuperSonics led by 6 points at home 32-26!
"In the first quarter, Yes's offensive pass was very reasonable, if it wasn't for the fact that Rondo wasted a lot of chances in the next two minutes, the difference between the two sides would have been even greater!"
Teacher Zhang Li has no regrets.
Yes's NBA debut, which is the highlight of CCTV's live broadcast.
Yees played the whole quarter in the first quarter, contributing 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the whole quarter.
If it weren't for Milicic playing 9 minutes and going off first, and it was Rondo who was the receiver for Yes, Yes's stats would have been better.
Rondo really didn't want to play with Yes, he didn't want to give Yes an assist, but Yes's movement was so good that he couldn't control it!
He didn't want to give Yes a second time, but every time Yes passed the ball, he was almost out of time, and he didn't even have a chance to throw the pot twice!
If it weren't for his 1-of-5 shooting percentage in the first quarter, his stats would have been perfect.
2 points and 6 assists in a single quarter is perfect for a rookie point guard!
It's all Yes!
He gave Yes an assist, and Yes actually replied to him to help him!
He didn't want to play with Yes, but he couldn't help it, and as Nelson coached him, he needed to keep the ball for Yes.
Yes doesn't like to keep the ball, which makes Rondo look at him with admiration.
Generally speaking, a child of destiny like Yaes likes to keep the ball.
Yes really likes to control the ball, he doesn't just play iron, he completely wastes.
The second quarter began, with Yes, Milicic and Rondo, who were the best performers in the first quarter of the SuperSonics, now sitting on the sidelines.
On the court were Millsap, Nick Collisson, Wilkins, P.J. Tucker and Barria leading the team.
Full bench lineup.
"The supersonic lineup is very dangerous!"
This lineup is dangerous, full of substitutes, and there is no reliable independent attack point!
In the first quarter, the six-point lead they built was eaten away by the Trail Blazers after less than four minutes of play in the second quarter.
During this period, the old Nelson also replaced Rondo and Milicic in advance, but the trend of supersonic collapse has not changed in the slightest.
In the first quarter, the supersonic speed that was able to press the Trail Blazers was judged as two teams after the second quarter was gone!
By the time Yees reappeared, the SuperSonics had gone from leading by six points to trailing by six points, losing by 12 points after only six minutes of play in the second quarter.
"Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, Yes's impact on the defensive end is also underestimated!"
"On the offensive end, Yes is the beacon of supersonic speed, as long as Yes is there, supersonic young people know how to play, and on the defensive end, Yes is the lubricant of supersonic speed, he can always appear where he is needed!"
The superSonics, which were already about to collapse, immediately stabilized the situation after Yees came on the court, and there was a trend of starting to press the Trail Blazers again.
"Where is Yes dragging the supersonic ......"
Before this game, public opinion in the United States was Yes's willfulness that dragged down the supersonic's rise again.
Yes's willfulness not to gain weight made him a supersonic cancer.
But, this is a cancer?!
This is obviously the cornerstone!
56 to 56!
At half-time, Ye Si stubbornly tied the score with supersonic speed!
Terrible?!
After watching half the game, Reggie Miller can only say this!
A newcomer who took on the offensive and defensive ends of the team in the first game.
This performance is much more amazing than the previous Roy!
"Yes, what's the half-time stat right now?"
"7-of-14 shooting, 2-of-5 three-pointers, 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the half!"
Half time 20+5+5?!
It's true that the Trail Blazers are weak, but yes......
What is the rookie scoring record?
"In this game, we must not let Yes's score break 30!"
In the Trail Blazers' locker room, McMillan's first words were a roar.
