Chapter 253: Dilemma
Chandler jumped up, clasped his hands, and had a smile on his face, enjoying the quick break that the offense brings.
Williams was not to be outdone, after receiving the serve, he pushed the ball to the half court at high speed, used his speed to directly break through Batum's defense, and killed the inside line at high speed, regardless of Iguodala, who was already in place outside the three-point line, and directly threw a small shot.
But this time it wasn't so lucky, as Chandler got around Brand's defence and pounced straight away, capping it off before the ball was still at its highest.
Xue Ding rushed forward with an arrow step, took the floor ball, pushed it to the front court at high speed, and his teammates quickly went down, facing Williams who retreated from the front, Xue Ding accelerated with a change of direction, and rushed directly to the basket, Smith quickly made up for the defense, and Xue Ding passed the ball to Ade.
Ade catches the ball with both hands, jumps in one step, and dunks hard with both hands. Score 16; 16, the two sides are tied.
"Why does Overlord Xue always pass the ball, this kind of opportunity is directly deducted"
"Looking forward to the powerful pass of Overlord Xue"
"It's team basketball, you can score easily, why increase the risk of injury"
"The unexciting Overlord Xue is not our real Overlord Xue at all"
……
On the barrage of the live webcast, the fans began to discuss and quarrel with each other again about Xue Ding's style, but Xue Ding was in a very happy mood at this time, 20 assists, and now 4 have been completed, and there are still 3 minutes and 12 seconds left in the first time, just complete one during this time.
When he thought of completing 20 offenses in one game, Xue Ding felt a lot of pressure, but he thought of setting a small goal for himself first and breaking it down, the goal of five assists per quarter was still easy to achieve.
So in the past, I could play directly, but when I got out of the vacancy, it turned into a pass, after all, whether a pass can become an assist is to hit.
And the safest way to hit is definitely to score inside.
With such a strategy, Xue Ding repeatedly broke through the first line of defense and rushed directly to the inside, whether it was Brand or Smith, they would make up for the defense as soon as possible and gamble on defense.
Without making up the defense, Xue Ding scored directly, supplemented the defense, Xue Ding passed the ball easily and assisted the two inside lines to complete the score, but if you make up the defense, there is still the possibility of defense.
As everyone knows, Xue Ding wants this effect, so the four balls in one face are all like this, and they all assist Chandler to succeed.
Break straight to the inside without slowing down at all, attract the opponent's interior defense, pass the ball to Chandler behind before making physical contact, or throw it directly into the air to complete a beautiful aerial relay.
The 76ers, who reacted, immediately changed their defensive strategy and targeted Xue Ding, Green continued to defend Xue Ding, using a strong body to limit Xue Ding's first step of the start, and Iguodala was between the three-point line and the two-point line, ready to block.
Brand and Smith also do a good job of making up for it, a division of the defensive passing route.
The adjustment of the defense immediately played a role, because Xue Ding's breakthrough was limited, and in order to assist, Xue Ding did not choose to pass the ball at the first time, resulting in the team's offense not being so smooth.
The key is that Batum and Cockscomb, who have been running, have both had empty positions to ask for the ball, and Xue Ding didn't notice it, but he didn't succeed.
On the contrary, the 76ers, under the leadership of Iguodala, quickly launched a wave of 14:4 attacks, with a score of 22:32, ending the first quarter of the game.
Although he got eight assists in the first quarter of the game, which exceeded his psychological expectations, Xue Ding was not very happy, after all, the team's victory was the first, and in the face of a weak team, it was unacceptable to fall behind the score.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides continued to go to the bench, and under the leadership of Roy, the Trail Blazers also played a set of 8:4 advantage, if it weren't for the 76ers head coach immediately called a timeout and replaced the main team, Pritchard really wanted to let the bench continue to play for a while.
The score was 30:36, the Trail Blazers trailed by 6 points, and both sides sent their main forces.
The Trailblazers attacked, Xue Ding dribbled past half the court, and before Green could force up, he directly pushed and shot.
Pritchard directly hugged his head with both hands, very speechless, although he also knew that Xue Ding had this three-point ability, but as a head coach, he saw that his own players did not attack according to their own tactical arrangements at all, and they would always have emotions subconsciously.
Green's supplementary defense has not played any role, although the shooting action of pushing is not very good-looking, but at the same time of high-speed shooting, it can also maintain good stability, so that Xue Ding has not given up this shooting action.
The basketball made a graceful arc and hit it successfully.
The score was 33:36, and the Trail Blazers were only three points behind, and for Xue Ding, the change in playing style was to force the opponent to change defense.
The 76ers didn't adjust their defensive strategy at the first time, after all, they didn't think it would happen often with such a long-range three-point shot.
After Xue Ding hit the third push shot in a row, Green finally reacted and no longer waited for Xue Ding at the three-point line, but waited for Xue Ding to post it as soon as he passed the half.
So Xue Ding once again started the strategy of breaking through the ball, and Chandler happily played the air relay attack again, with smooth and happy cooperation, and completely played the feeling of being at home.
The score was 50:42, the Trail Blazers led by 8 points, and with 1 minute and 40 seconds left, Pritchard waved his hand and replaced the bench.
The main team of the 76ers continued to fight on the court, considering that halftime was about to be made, the youth of the players made the 76ers have a slightly more human capital for the head coach.
Iguodala scored eight straight points to help the 76ers stabilize their position, and the score was 52-50, only two points behind, ending the first half.
Iguodala, as an all-round small forward in the league, is known as a small version of James, whether it is selfless ball style, physical strength, or scoring ability, it is very similar, but it is faster and more flexible.
So with the main force playing so smoothly, Xue Ding also felt that it was normal.
The fifteen-minute break passed quickly and the second half began.
Xue Ding held the ball and attacked, after the first half of the game, the 76ers seemed to have mastered some of Xue Ding's rules, don't let you go three points, go directly to the top in the half, and if you break through, try to limit.
In an instant, Xue Ding's offense was very embarrassing, the three points were too lethal, he was defended by a key point, and his breakthrough was no problem at all, and he had a great advantage, but he wanted to get an assist in this game, not a direct score, and he was in a dilemma for the first time about how to get points.
