Chapter 46: Seven points ahead (ask for favorites, ask for recommendation votes)

What can a point guard who can pass the ball bring to the interior?

Look at Kenyon Martin meeting Jason Kidd and going straight from a "parallel import" to a brutalist power forward, and look at Stoudemire meeting Nash, who went straight from a first-class interior scorer averaging 20 points per game to a league's top scorer averaging more than 26 points per game.

This is not a one-and-a-half improvement, this is a qualitative change of the whole.

What Yi Jianlian lacks is such a booster, everything has to be done by himself, once the inside line opposite him holds the high and low positions, then his offense will become extremely difficult.

Originally, according to Xiao K's tactical arrangement, Mo Williams would be his best outside helper, and it was the key factor that could allow him to take off.

But no one expected that Williams would play well on the training court, and the lone wolf mode was turned on at the beginning of the new season, so that the starting lineup of the Bucks could not play the tacit understanding and cooperation of training camp for a long time.

Does Mo Williams pass the ball?

The answer is yes, his career-high assists per game stat was 7.1 in a season, which is already the league's top point guard statistic.

Besides, this data he played in the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers' point guard has always not had a very high proportion of ball possession, and in this case, he can still get an average of 7.1 assists per game, which is enough to show that his vision has no problem with the point guard at all, he just doesn't want to pass!

Well, now that he's been on the bench for so long, Little K believes he should be able to pass the ball honestly. After all, compared to brushing data, not having to play is the most terrible!

Mo Williams came up with the first shot, and he hit the ball straight into the middle range after he and Michael Reed covered each other from the outside.

“nice!”

Although it was still the ball shot by Mo Williams, the ball could be coordinated, and Xiao K gave Mo Williams a thumbs up.

The latter is really enlightened, and in the next round, he completed the first connection of his career with Yi Jianlian, a breakthrough in a stop-and-go jump shot, forcing Okafor on the inside to come up to pounce, and Mo Williams immediately made a fake throw and a real pass, hitting the ground to the unmarked Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian hit the board easily.

"Well done!"

Yi Jianlian also learned from Xiao K to give a thumbs up to Mo Williams, who did not pretend not to see it this time, and stretched out his finger to point at Yi Jianlian in response.

"It's started, finally, it's been as I say!" When Xiao K saw this scene, he was completely relieved.

At the end of halftime, in the last minute, because of the arrival of Mo Williams, the entire offensive of the Bucks team suddenly skyrocketed, hitting three consecutive balls to successfully chase the score to 55-55.

It is worth noting that except for the first goal that he hit, the other two goals were also related to him, allowing him to get two assists.

He got 2 points and 2 assists in one minute on the court, which made Mo Williams feel good, originally he thought that his statistics would inevitably be affected if he played according to team cooperation, but now it seems that with the help of his teammates, his statistics have improved a lot.

Could it be that I was wrong from the beginning?

Mo Williams felt a little guilty in his heart, if he played well in the first game, was it possible that he would not have lost?

No one knows the answer to this question, but Mo Williams now only wants to play well because of this question, and he doesn't want to deliberately brush the data or anything.

***

Back in the second half, the overall efficiency of the Bucks team with the backcourt engine has improved a lot, especially the blocking and dismantling cooperation between Mo Williams and Yi Jianlian, both of them can shoot and break through, after blocking and dismantling the cover, there is always one who can enter the inside line, and at this time, the disadvantage of the Bobcats' lack of interior height is completely exposed, and the reaction is a little slow and half a beat, and it will be too late to jump up.

Especially Yi Jianlian, he should be the biggest beneficiary of Mo Williams' normal play, after having the engine, he no longer has to create his own offensive space, just a simple pull, he can run out of the open space, shoot and score easily.

It was also at this time that Sam Vincent, the head coach of the Bobcats, discovered that this Chinese power forward named Yi Jianlian actually had a hand-to-hand projection.

It's just that the Bucks played easily, but the score didn't stretch much away, and by 8 minutes in the third quarter, the Bucks had scored 26 points in this quarter, but the score was only 5 points ahead.

The Bobcats' firepower in this quarter is not small, led by Gerard Wallace and the "dunk king" Richardson's Bobcats outside line with continuous breakthroughs to impact the outside of the Bucks, directly rushing the three Bucks to pieces.

No way, although the three big brothers have good firepower on the offensive end, the problem on the defensive end is very big, and a slightly tougher offense can't be prevented at all.

Anyway, the inside line Bogut and Yi Jianlian can hold it up.

Otherwise, it is not certain whether the Bucks can lead by these five points.

"Wait a minute, make a block for Yi, let Yi catch the ball in the high post, and then Mo and Michael will attract the entire defense line outward, and let Yi play again!"

"This goal is very important to us, Yi, I didn't say nonsense, you have to score this goal, otherwise, go back and practice!"

At this time, there are 3 minutes left before the end of the third quarter, if Yi Jianlian can score this goal, then their lead can be extended to 7 points, and use this lead to let the starters rest in the last three minutes of the third quarter to ensure that they can have a position advantage at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Xiao K said that this ball is very important, and he really didn't mean to scare Yi Jianlian.

Yi Jianlian didn't think about it so much, when Xiao K arranged tactics to give him a single, he was already thinking about how to singled Okafor this time.

Judging from the first 20 minutes of alignment, Okafor has the advantage in strength and speed, and it is not easy to beat him alone.

The singles in the first half were a bit of luck, Okafor was not familiar with him at that time, it was not difficult for him to take a feint, and now that he has been in the position for so long, the opponent is not a fool, and it is definitely impossible to eat easily.

Then I don't have any advantage! Yi Jianlian walked on the field with squinted eyes, and had other ideas in his heart.

"This way, don't go!"

Mo Williams according to the requirements of Xiao K, after blocking and dismantling, hit the ball to the hand of Yi Jianlian in the high position, and when he was about to pull the Bobcats defense line out, Yi Jianlian suddenly shouted to him, he subconsciously stopped, Yi Jianlian stopped the moment he went around to him, and jumped directly, this is a long-distance mid-range shot, but Yi Jianlian is very confident - 79 points of shooting ability value gives him confidence.

No one thought that Yi Jianlian would make such a move, Okafor reacted, but he was stuck by Williams Mo, so he could only watch blankly, and the ball shook twice and fell into the net.

"It's done!"

Yi Jianlian subconsciously clenched the hand that shot the basket, and with this goal, the Bucks' lead reached 7 points.

"Okay, I really didn't misunderstand you, Yi, I withstood the pressure at the critical moment!"

Xiao K was desperately calling on the sidelines, this goal was more honest, and it didn't come according to his requirements, but there was no problem when it was scored, and this goal was scored by Yi Jianlian, which shows that his tactical arrangement was implemented, but the tactical style of play has changed. It's not a big deal, everything can happen on the pitch, and being able to adapt is the best player.

“nice!”

"Well done, easy!"

scored this goal according to Xiao K's vision, Yi Jianlian was replaced for a break in the next dead ball link, and together with Michael Reed, his teammates on the bench immediately stretched out their hands to welcome the hero to rest.
