Chapter 48, an unexpected three-point shot.
Xue Ding attaches great importance to Parker today.
And Parker and Popovich also attach great importance to Xue Ding.
"Focus on his breakthrough."
"Pay attention to the inside to help defend the basket."
"His three-pointer can be put down."
This is the Spurs' defensive plan for Xue Ding's understanding.
Xue Ding's tactical position in the eyes of the Spurs is only that of Roy.
Popovich was concerned about the defensive chaos involved in Xue Ding's impact, not Xue Ding's scoring assists.
If Spurs are messed up, it will be difficult to win the game.
The Spurs know Xue Ding very well, after the trial, Popovich wanted to win Xue Ding, and originally this summer, the Spurs were the closest team to Xue Ding! The pioneer is completely truncated!
The Spurs secretly operated the Thunder's No. 25 pick to select Xue Ding and trade it after the selection, but they didn't expect Xue Ding to be taken away by the Trail Blazers with the No. 22 pick.
After the start of the regular season, Xue Ding's performance really shocked Popovich.
Press conference before the game.
Popovich said that the goal of the Spurs team today is not to let Xue Ding get a 20+ triple-double in the game.
One can imagine how sorry Popovich was for Xue Ding not to the Spurs.
Popovich already knew he had made a serious mistake!
He underestimated Xue Ding's talent appeal.
The game is about to begin.
One by one, the players came out of the dressing room.
On the field!
Popovich looked at Xue Ding, who was constantly stretching his muscles, and his eyes turned red.
There was also some resentment in his eyes when he looked at McMillan.
Aldridge, Roy, Xue Ding, Oden.
These four people Popovich know that they are good seedlings, as long as they are cultivated well, they are the team of a dynasty!
Each of them can be used as a tactical core.
In addition to the attention of the media and fans, the celebrities also expressed some of their opinions.
Some celebrities believe in an interview that Xue Ding's style of play is extremely dependent on the body, and they think that as a point guard, he should honestly organize the offense, rather than trying to steal the limelight from his teammates every round.
And the celebrities also complained that the league is too friendly to Xue Ding now, if in the past, as long as Xue Ding's style entered the inner line, he would be overturned to the ground immediately, and he still wanted to dunk?
Dream on.
The big man of that era would tell Xue Ding, the little man, that the guard should honestly stay outside, and the inside line was theirs.
The celebrities' remarks have aroused a lot of echoes from fans on the Internet.
A bunch of ancient fans also began to blow the moisture of Xue Ding's data, and began to attack the strength of the league's defense.
The NBA is very respectful of celebrities, and young players rarely respond strongly to criticism from celebrities.
Xue Ding didn't mind that celebrities kept bragging about how awesome their era was, and that there were many dishes in their own era.
In the future, Xue Ding himself may also be this virtue, not to mention that what they said is also quite right, the NBA is indeed getting softer and softer............
The development of modern basketball has exceeded the imagination of fans and experts, and in the future, centers will go to the outside to compete with guards for three-point shots, how can you argue?
on the field.
The Trail Blazers sent out starters from Xue Ding, Roy, Batum, Aldridge, and Oden.
The Spurs fielded a starting lineup of Parker, Bogans, Jefferson, Duncan, and Bonner.
With the sound of an electronic beep, the referee ran to the center with the ball.
Xue Ding ushered in the first starting game of his career!
After the start of the game.
Xue Ding played conscientiously and was not in a hurry to steal the limelight, and his role as a starter today was to defend.
Most of the team's offensive tasks were left to Roy and Ade.
Roy and Ade did live up to expectations.
At the Rose Garden Course, the duo showed their good form!
The mid-range continuous play is full of lethality.
On the field, the Trail Blazers have the ball.
Roy was on the right side of the free-throw line, and his successive tentative steps were so skillful that Jefferson, who was defending him, didn't dare to make a rash move. Today, Roy has hit three in a row when he is holding the ball, and Xue has gotten rid of Parker in the bottom corner, but, Xue, what are you doing outside the three-point line in the bottom corner? You're shooting 22 percent from three-point range this season, and Parker isn't worried about you shooting there, hey, Roy passed the ball, to whom? ”
"Xue!!"
Xue Ding's running position is very coquettish.
Parker, like his teammates, is very loose about Xue Ding's three-point defense, and most of them are pretentious.
Xue Ding, who fell into the bottom corner, did not hesitate when he received Roy's pass!
Xue Ding's calves tightened.
Bounce up quickly.
Hold the ball in front of your head with both hands, and before Parker can come over, make a quick shot and push it out with the strength of your fingers.
Every three-point shot of Xue Ding will cause bursts of cheers from the fans at the scene!!
"This rookie has changed his three-point shooting stance."
"It's so fast!"
"Just look at the posture and know that you will enter!"
The fans had a lively discussion.
all know that Xue Ding's three points are not accurate, so the home fans always encourage this kind of shot.
The extremely fast shooting speed made Xue Ding almost in the open position, and if he was in the open position, his three-point shooting rate was not as simple as 22%.
"Huh."
12 to 15.
Xue Ding made his first shot halfway through the first quarter.
It's a three-point shot he's not good at!
Xue Ding's choice of Martin's posture package is mainly based on speed, which is why he gave up other shooting packages, he pursues scoring efficiency!
Xue Ding's running speed is easy to get out of the gap, and with the presence of Roy, he can wait for the ball with peace of mind every time he is in the vacancy.
Roy wouldn't fail to pass the ball when he saw an open spot.
Xue Ding's three-point shot surprised both Popovich and Parker.
He'll shoot.
Too confident.
Now if you don't stick to it, he will easily complete the shot.
But if you stick too tightly, this kid's explosiveness can definitely pass the defender one-on-one!
It's hard to prevent.
Spurs attack!
Parker dribbles over half court!
Parker is only 188 tall, and Xue Ding's body interferes with him a lot.
Today's Parker is difficult to pass Xue Ding one-on-one without the help of blocking.
Parker raised his hand and called for cover.
Duncan mentioned.
Parker starts.
Xue Ding, who had been prepared, immediately turned around, circled Duncan's body, and stared at Parker like a poisonous snake!
After Parker passed Xue Ding, he immediately accelerated twice, circled around the three-second zone gyro, glanced at Xue Ding's position behind him, a little far away from himself, and then dodged Auden's interference.
Jump up the lever and get ready for the layup!
"Smack"
Xue Ding mercilessly gave Parker a block!
"What!"
Parker didn't know how Xue Ding completed the block, but Popovich could see it clearly off the court.
Parker had already dodged Auden and stuck Xue Ding's position, but Xue Ding did it, obviously looking at what he couldn't do.
He's extremely fast!
Jump right after Parker jumps first!
Then rely on height and reach to make up for the difference in distance.
The ball after the block is controlled by Ade!
Ade quickly gave Roy and ran forward as hard as he could.
"Whoa, whoa!"
Roy and Ade launch a fast attack!
Duncan and Bonner quickly retreated.
They were in a better position and did not give Roy a chance to directly impact, and Roy saw this, so he could only stabilize and play, waiting for his teammates to come up.
After Xue Ding finished his cap, he also chased after him from the back up!
Parker followed closely behind Xue Ding to return to the defense.
The corner of 45 degrees on the left side of Xue Ding.
Roy gives the ball over.
Xue Ding saw Parker behind him.
Xue Ding received the ball and wanted to shoot, Parker pounced, and Xue Ding then shook again!
He completely shook off Parker, who was passively chasing behind him!
Or the kind of three-point !!
The shot is in a hurry!
But that's the empty seat!
12 to 18.
Xue Ding's consecutive three-pointers made Popovich can't help but call out the Spurs' first timeout!
