Chapter 103: Mark Price

Putting a layer of shackles on Kobe Bryant's shot restriction is definitely not a whim of Richard!

In fact, when he got the No. 8 pick from the Nets and played a friendly game with the boilermen, Richard had this idea!

In Richard's view, this shackle is of great benefit to both the Trailblazers and Kobe Bryant himself!

If you don't give shackles, maybe Kobe's average number of shots per game can soar to an average of 20 times per game, reaching the level of Iverson's rookie season!

This is definitely not a joke, Kobe Bryant, who plays point guard, definitely has such a possibility!

If Kobe Bryant is allowed to take an average of 20 shots per game, let alone whether Richard is willing or not, other players are probably not happy!

You must know that this team is not only Kobe Bryant, a talented newcomer!

……

And after giving this shackle, Kobe Bryant will at least not choose the timing of his shot so randomly, and he will definitely have an idea of making full use of the number of shots!

In this kind of thinking, there is no doubt that Kobe Bryant will reduce a lot of unnecessary shots!

This will make Kobe Bryant's offensive efficiency a little higher!

Secondly, in the case of not being able to make a big shot, Kobe's crazy desire to win will definitely transfer his exuberant energy to other aspects on the court!

For example, defense!

If a rookie wants to prove his worth, in addition to playing well offensively, it is not impossible to go the defensive route!

Maybe a newcomer who averages 20 points per game but is a defensive scumbag is not as valuable as a newcomer who averages 15 points per game but has a strong defense!

Richard is playing this idea now, to make Kobe Bryant fully develop on both offensive and defensive ends!

It is not only necessary to improve Kobe's offensive efficiency, but also to let Kobe Bryant devote his energy on the defensive end as soon as possible and show his strength on the defensive end!

There is no doubt that this shackle of Richard is necessary!

……

The Warriors' starting lineup, center Miller, power forward Joe Smith, small forward Chris Mullin, point guard Maniac Sprewell, point guard Mark Price!

Among them, Joe Smith was the champion of last season, and his strength is quite good!

Don't look at the Warriors didn't make the playoffs last season, but their roster is actually very strong, and the biggest problem they face is the tactical problem, and now Miller is here, if they can unite as one, they may not be able to make a difference in the West!

Price, a white point guard who is only 183 tall, stepped forward to force Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball.

But Kobe Bryant was a daring artist, easily dribbling past Price behind his back and advancing towards the frontcourt.

People go to the front, and Price is still behind him!

Kobe Bryant didn't say a word, and shot directly with a three-point shot!

Old Curry's three-point adjustment, not to mention anything else, at least made these young players more decisive in three-point shooting and more confident in shooting!

Kobe Bryant is extremely confident in this shot!

“duang!” After the sound of hitting the iron came, Daben, not far from the basket, had already seen the landing point of the rebound and flew over......

Kobe Bryant's rebounding point of hitting the iron, Big Ben observed it for two months!

It can be said that no one in this world knows better than Big Ben about Kobe's rebounding points after hitting the iron......

Therefore, the moment Kobe Bryant made a move, Big Ben actually expected that Kobe would hit the iron, and then stand in the best position to compete for rebounds for the first time!

An offensive rebound statistic was directly bagged by Big Ben at the beginning!

got the offensive rebound, and the next step is naturally to play a second offense!

Big Ben doesn't have the ability to attack twice, so he chose to pass the ball to his inside partner O'Neal Jr. as soon as possible!

After O'Neal Jr. received the ball, he immediately thought about turning around and making a violent dunk, which is now his most common offensive method......

But he found that his idea of wanting to turn around and buckle was ruthlessly extinguished, and Miller resisted him behind him, not giving him a chance to turn around at all!

Even O'Neal Jr. used the basket feints pointed out by Zhang Weiping and others to provoke Miller, and he either attacked or made Miller's foul, which did not serve any use.

Miller is as calm as Tarzan, he doesn't do anything, he just resists little O'Neill!

He knows very well that he is not the kind of spring man who is bouncing and bursting, and if he is feintmed, the result will definitely be bad......

Or someone will be violently buttoned on your head!

Or send your opponent to the free throw line!

No matter what the result is, Miller doesn't want to bear it, so he just can't stand up to O'Neal Jr., no matter how many basket feints O'Neal Jr. makes!

Respond to all changes with the same!

The young O'Neal Jr. was a little flustered, the reason why the young player is called a rookie is because of his lack of experience, in the face of this different scenario from the imagined situation, O'Neal Jr. directly stepped back and threw a basket.

As luck would have it, this throw went in!

The Trail Blazers scored their first goal of the new season!

Richard off the field looked at O'Neal Jr.'s performance and nodded slightly.

Talent is actually really important for a player, O'Neal Jr.'s talent is undoubtedly excellent, and when he is replaced by other rookie players, in the face of this situation, confident players will go crazy and fight hard with Miller!

And those who are not confident, may choose to pass!

Inside passes, the probability of being cut is much greater than that of outside passes, and it is easy to make mistakes, which is obviously not a good option.

O'Neill Jr. chose to avoid the edge for the time being, and used a light throw to solve the battle, which has to be said to be very clever!

"This kid still has a lot of room for improvement, if his footsteps are better just now, he can completely bypass the card position of the opponent's center and choose a more comfortable shooting space!" Zhang Weiping, who was sitting next to Richard, said with a smile.

"It's just a seventeen-year-old kid, if he really has such top footsteps, I don't think we can take him just with the seventeenth pick!" Richard said with a smile.

"That's right, I feel that this kid will have a high level of achievement in the future, even if he is allowed to grow up freely, I am afraid that in a few years, he will be enough to become one of the league's first-line centers!" Zhang Weiping admires O'Neill's strength very much.

……

The game on the court continues, the Warriors have the ball!

Mark Price Possession of the Ball!

For Price, I am afraid that modern fans, especially domestic fans, do not know much......

Summing up the strength of this player, it can be said that he is the best white point guard shooter in the NBA before Nash!

Even with an existence like Stockton, Price is still worthy of this name!

With more than 40% of three-point shooting and 90% of free throw shooting, it is difficult to find a point guard player with superb shooting skills like him among white point guards!

Before the Cavaliers retired the Big Z jersey, it was Price's jersey that was retired......

It's a pity that Price is now in the twilight of his career, and after nine seasons with the Cavaliers, the shortcomings of the white point guard's physical fitness have gradually been exposed.

With a height of 183, he suffers extremely on the defensive end, and he is a thirty-three-year-old white man, so you can imagine how unbearable his current defense has slipped to......

On the offensive end, looking at the shooting percentage, it doesn't seem to have been affected much, but with the decline in physical fitness, the difficulty of finding opportunities to shoot has definitely increased too much, resulting in a sharp decrease in his scoring statistics!
