Chapter 254: Full of Faith
As the brain of the team, once it falls into a hesitant situation, then the external manifestation is manifested in the team's offensive and defensive ends will be suppressed by the opponent.
The 76ers, led by Iguodala, played a 16-2 offensive climax, and the score came to 52:68, and Pritchard quickly called a timeout.
"Overlord Xue, what's the matter, so hesitant?"
"There are so many empty opportunities that I haven't passed, what is Overlord Xue thinking?"
"Either fight or pass, I don't know the overlord Xue who can't be beaten or pierced."
"Is there another secret we don't know about the Trailblazers?"
"Overlord Xue, is this forcing the palace?"
……
The fans on the live broadcast side of the network were very incomprehensible to Xue Ding's performance, and they didn't know what was going on, so they speculated.
If the performance in the first half was tactical, but the third quarter was almost over, not only did I not see Xue Ding's adjustment, but fell into a greater chaos, and fans speculated according to their own understanding.
As a party, Xue Ding is also very depressed, 12 of the 20 assist tasks have been completed, and the opponent's targeted defensive goals are very clear, not allowing himself to score any three points and cutting off his passing line.
That is, to break through by yourself, the opponent tries to limit as much as possible, and when the restriction does not come, it doesn't matter if you score by yourself, that is, you don't want to connect the whole team in series, although Xue Ding also understands that this is a regular tactic, if it is according to the past, he will definitely score crazy points immediately to break the opponent's defensive strategy.
But I didn't want to score today, so I was very anxious, and even wondered if the system was colluding with the 76ers, otherwise, why this defensive strategy was like a task for myself.
Pritchard roared loudly.
"Xue, you have to fight more resolutely, don't hesitate"
"Push them to focus on you and create opportunities for your teammates"
"Everybody has to move"
……
Xue Ding understands the manager's tactical arrangement very well, that is, to drive the offense by himself, to play resolutely when scoring, and to pass decisively and timely when breaking through the ball, this tactic is also very targeted, and it is also aimed at the problems exposed by himself on the field.
But these problems are not the problems I have always had, just because of the task.
But this can't be said, although it is not what he wants, but it is such a result, Xue Ding still feels a little depressed.
And with two minutes left in the third quarter, how to crack the 76ers' defense while completing the task and ensuring the team's victory has become a top priority.
The score fell too far behind, and Pritchard had no choice but to let the main team continue to play, and the 76ers did not make any substitutions when they saw this.
Xue Ding dribbled past half court, and the 76ers continued their previous defensive policy, keeping two on the inside, and all three on the outside were concentrated around Xue Ding, with Green on the front defending, William Moss on the left and Iguodalado on the right forming a state of encirclement at any time.
Xue Ding glanced at the situation on the inside, the four of them were entangled very tightly, Ade didn't mention it, Batum had been waiting in the bottom corner for a long time, his heart moved, he changed to the right and accelerated one step to the right, passing Green's defense, Iguodala quickly made up for it, Xue Ding walked up and twisted past Iguodala.
Iguodala followed closely behind, Brand was also ready to block, Xue Ding successfully attracted everyone's attention in three steps, and with a flick of his right hand, the ball floated directly to the bottom corner of the left.
Williams quickly turned back to defend, but didn't interfere with Batum, who was tall and long-armed.
Batum catches the ball and hits an open three-point shot.
Xue Ding waved his arms excitedly, 13, closer to the target, Batum happily ran over and high-fived to celebrate.
The 76ers served quickly, Williams pushed the ball like a wind across the half court, Batum went up, and Williams kept dribbling under his crotch to change direction, mobilizing Batum's center of gravity.
As soon as Xue Ding saw William Moss falling into the mode of individual dribbling, he knew that this guy was about to start the breakthrough mode, and after playing most of the game, he could be regarded as having a very clear understanding of William Moss's style of play.
The mid-range shot is accurate, the breakthrough is sharp, and the speed is fast, but the overall situation is too poor, once you play, you only have the ball in your eyes.
Xue Ding directly surrounded him from the side, William Moss was caught in the entanglement, and he didn't notice it at all, just a change of direction in rhythm shook off Batum, an acceleration, the ball slapped forward hard, and wanted to play a ball that passed first and people accelerated up, but Xue Ding, who had been waiting for a long time, grabbed it from the side and directly reached out and broke the ball.
Williams, who reacted, turned around and rushed over, and the Trail Blazers team members also quickly followed.
Coming to the left 45° position and standing, Xue Ding waited for the inside line to be settled, otherwise, the running that came and went, if he rashly launched an attack and did not score a counterattack by the opponent, the defensive run that came and went was the biggest consumption for the big center.
After both sides were in position, they glanced at the time, there were 12 seconds left, the last attack of the game, Xue Ding began to dribble, Ade mentioned the left high position, Smith followed, Xue Ding took Green's defense to the right 45 ° position, and suddenly a change of direction to the left accelerated, rushing into the inside.
Brand subconsciously made up for the block, and Xue Ding jumped up and passed his right hand through Brand's armpit, and successfully taught the ball to Chandler in the vacant position.
Chandler is familiar with catching the ball, taking off, it is a violent dunk, and he is extremely excited.
The 14th assist, there are still 6 left, and Xue Ding went off the game with a relaxed mood.
With the score at 57:68, the Trail Blazers trailed by 11 points to end the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, at the request of Xue Ding, he replaced the cockscomb man and replaced Fernandez, the cockscomb man was a little injured, but he also knew that the following was the chasing stage, and his defensive role was greater than that of offense, and he was not suitable for the pure offensive stage, so there were not too many complaints.
Xue Ding's idea is very simple, he is mainly for assists, and he can also create opportunities for teammates to vacate positions, but teammates must be able to throw, otherwise they will not be able to score points, and they will not be able to evolve the number of assists, whether it is for the team's victory or personal tasks, it has no meaning.
This is also the biggest worry that he hesitated before, so now for the sake of offense and chasing points, he directly replaced Fernandez, who is more capable in shooting.
The Trailblazers' current configuration on the court is equivalent to two forwards, one guard, plus two insiders, everyone has a strong scoring ability, 11 points difference, 6 assist tasks, Xue Ding feels full of confidence, no problem at all.
