Chapter 319: The First Battle of the Rookie Preseason (First Tear Title 10)
Nowitzki, Harrington, Lewis, Mobley and Praggs were all looking at each other at the moment.
In the previous training camp, they were all in accordance with Richard's requirements, playing the position of the outside line, and now the five people are on the field at the same time, who will play the inside line?!
Seeing the five people looking at each other, Richard suddenly laughed.
"Boys, don't be nervous, it's just pre-season, play the style you want to play, don't think about winning or losing!"
"That's not something you think about, it's something I think about!"
The five are still a little hesitant, mainly because none of the five of them can play inside, or they don't want to play inside......
In the end, Nowitzki raised his fingers, "I'll play center......"
"Then I'm a power forward......" Lewis continued.
Then Harrington chose the small forward position, and Praggs chose the quarterback position, and the old cat naturally could only play the No. 1 position.
……
At the beginning of the game, Nowitzki and Miller jumped the ball, but what Richard didn't expect was that Nowitzki actually jumped to win Miller......
After the ball reached Mobley's hand, I saw the 193-year-old quarterback rushing towards the front court as fast as lightning.
The Warriors' terrible backcourt, no one can guard against Mobley.
Just after reaching the three-point line, Mobley made a frontal cross, directly past Starks, and then rushed to the basket and violently dunked.
Richard couldn't stop cheering loudly on the sidelines!
This move can definitely be said to be the signature technique of the old cat, and several times throughout the history of the NBA, players who can be stronger than the old cat in terms of cross-passing can not find the number of slaps.
In fact, in Richard's view, the Old Cats are really an underrated player, and he may have become an All-Star starter if he had entered the league more than a decade later.
Strong passing ability, stable three-point ability, and even basket carrying ability are quite prominent in the quarterback group.
On the defensive end, there is no level like Bowen or Kobe, but it is above the level, at least the effect of defending those small point guards is so good that there is nothing to say.
No one could have imagined that the guard players selected by the Trail Blazers in the second half of the second round just opened would stage such a wonderful goal.
Countless fans stood up to cheer, although they knew that the players who could be selected by Richard were definitely not weak, but it was definitely a great surprise to be so strong.
Adelman on the sidelines was in a daze, he was still pondering Richard's words, wondering if there was a chance to trade a backcourt player from the Trail Blazers......
As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Trail Blazers' backcourt players surprised him.
……
The game continued, and it was the Warriors' turn to attack the round.
The shortcomings of the Trail Blazers' defensive scum lineup were exposed, and after Jamison received a pass from Miller, he was basically undisturbed and hit a direct shot.
Richard sighed, this lineup on the field, the defense is really scum......
There is no way to wash this white, except for Mobley's defense, the rest of these people are afraid that they will grow to their peak, and their defensive strength is also worrying.
……
Ball conversion, Trail Blazers' offensive round.
This time, Mobley wanted to show off his playmaking skills, but his lame playmaking skills betrayed him deeply, and the ball went straight to Starks.
For the current situation of the Trailblazers, Mobley has naturally analyzed it......
The Trail Blazers are overcrowded on the front guard line right now, lacking players at the center and point guard positions.
In this case, to get more playing time, either play as a backup center or as a backup point guard.
And his height of 193 is obviously not able to play center, and he can only develop in the direction of point guard.
As a result, there was such a big mistake in this first pass, which made him quite embarrassed......
Richard also smiled wryly on the sidelines, he really planned to let the old cat develop in the direction of point guard, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.
The old cat's passing organization ability is really a little too lame, so lame that an honest person like Nowitzki laughs out loud on the court.
This mistake was directly caught by the Warriors to counterattack, and Miller played a basket in the frontcourt.
……
In the next offensive round, the old cat is also smart, and his passing ability is not good, so he simply does not make long passes, and hands over the ball to his teammates as much as possible......
It's the clumsiest way to pass the ball, and it would be embarrassing to make another mistake.
Although there are no mistakes, there must be a huge problem with the team's offensive rhythm, hand-to-hand passing, and when you finish passing, the daylily is cold, where is there a chance to shoot in the open space......
The five newcomers on the field are all showing their strengths.
And their strength is three points......
Next, the fans on the scene only saw the old cat Mobley's lame backcourt power, after dribbling to the frontcourt, if the frontcourt defensive resistance is small, then cross and break through by himself, and then pass the layup.
If the defense is resistant, this guy relies on his speed, like a courier boy, to move around with the ball and hand the ball to his anti-aircraft teammates......
……
It is impossible to win, and there is at least a ninety percent chance that such a defensive intensity will be beaten by the boilermen, and it is obviously unlikely that the Warriors who want to win the starting line-up.
However, even though they lost this preseason game in the end, the fans are still quite satisfied with this wave of rookies.
All five of them played for about thirty-five minutes, and the rest of the time, Richard let Big Ben play for a while.
In 35 minutes, the defensive end and rebounds of these five people were blown into scum by the Warriors, but the offensive end was okay.
Although the shooting rate is definitely not as high as that of the Warriors, at least it can still be seen, and it is not to the point of being unbearable.
Mobley scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals in this game, which is quite an outstanding performance, and the best data among the five newcomers.
Nowitzki, on the other hand, was the most stable, whether it was a mid-range shot or a three-point shot, the game was outstanding, but because there were not enough shots, he only scored 17 points.
As for the remaining three, the offensive end is remarkable, at least there is no embarrassment of being overwhelmed after receiving the ball.
What really surprised Richard was Praggs' performance......
Because the draft pick is too low, maybe the old cat also ignored him a little, and the frequency of passing to Praggs is not high.
But even so, Praggs still had a 2-of-4 three-point performance in this game.
Of course, in the case of 2 of 4 three-point shots, then the defense is completely unwatchable, and the defensive effect may not be as good as spreading a blank sheet of paper in front of the opposing player......
