Chapter 828 [The Gap Between the First Person and an Ordinary Star]
Guo Xu was assigned to the white team, and his teammates were Michael Reed, Battier, Bosh, and Tyson Chandler.
Black team five: Kidd, Kobe, James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard.
"Warcraft" Howard jumped the ball and the game began. Guo Xu let Kidd go more than one step and lowered his center of gravity to defend, and Kidd brought it to the three-point line and passed to Kobe, who chose to go heads-up in the face of Battier.
In 2006, Battier joined the Dream Team and started every game, and many fans questioned his strength and thought that Lao K was nepotistic. Fearless of pressure, the old K has always admired this disciple from Duke University, and once commented: "I will definitely retire in 20 years, and if I want to find a successor, it must be Sean Battier." ”??
Bryant dribbled under his hip and changed direction, his left mid-range pullup jumper was deflected wide under interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Bosh.
Guo Xu dribbled over half of the court and landed in the battle, waving his hand to let his teammates pull away heads-up Kidd.
He dribbled the ball to his left hand in his crotch, changed direction to the right side and passed the man successfully, collected the ball in three steps and hit the basket, jumped up the air lever to avoid Howard's block, and passed the ball to the left side, Chandler took a step forward with the ball and dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 0.
The black team attacked, the white team used 122 joint defense, four people held the four corners of the penalty area, and Guo Xu was outside. Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt, James held the ball in the middle and rushed to the inside to be trapped, and Anthony's three-point jumper was missed.
Anthony is known for his variety of offensive styles, and his biggest weakness is the three-point shot, which he still rarely took last season.
Fans feel that the three stars of the class of 2003 are super capable and have superstar potential, but they are really not suitable to play together, various positions overlap, and it is similar to replace Wade with Kobe, and the mid-to-long-range shooting is only slightly better.
When Bosh got the rebound, he heard Guo Xu shout, and it passed towards the voice. Guo Xu received the ball and dribbled past half court, rushed towards Kidd, collected the ball in front of the free throw line, and scored an easy layup. 4 to 0.
The Blacks attacked, and James forced a layup to deflect off under the interference.
In the white team's positional battle, Guo Xu singled out Kidd on the periphery, attracted Kobe Bryant and gave the ball to Reed on the left side, who received the ball and hit a three-point jumper, 7-0.
The audience at the military academy shouted Guo Xu's name excitedly, looking at the player's fame, the white team is obviously much weaker, only Guo Xu is a superstar, and there are two blue-collar workers, but they play better.
Kobe Bryant heard the cheers on the sidelines a little harshly, asked for the ball from the outside, and faced Reed on the right side to pull three points to return one, and hit the iron under interference. This style of play is quite reasonable, Kobe Bryant doesn't shoot three-pointers, who else can shoot on the black team?
The ball bounced far away and was grabbed by Anthony, who turned around and jumped into the ball with his back against Battier. 7 to 2.
The white team attacked, Guo Xu took the ball over the half court, saw Kidd retreat farther, two meters outside the three-point line in the middle, suddenly grabbed three points, Kidd stepped forward to interfere slowly and did not jump, turned his head to see the ball draw a beautiful arc, hollow into the net. 10 to 2.
Kidd had a thousand grass and mud horses galloping in his heart.
Are you trying to embarrass me? Can you stop beating me alone?
Holy, why am I the starter? Hasn't Old K seen our matchups in the regular season?
The old K is considered from the player's seniority, and letting Kidd start is a sign of respect for the veteran. In Guo Xu's previous life, this is also the reason why Kidd can become a pseudo-starter at the Beijing Olympics, but the arrangement of team training is self-defeating.
Kidd still led the ball past halfcourt, the Black team was struggling to defend the team, and after a few passes, James' jumper was deflected wide by Bosh's interference, and Chandler grabbed the rebound in the backcourt.
The white team attacked, Guo Xu and Chandler played the weak side after blocking and dismantling, relying on speed to get rid of Kidd to attract Howard to change defense, calculated the step point behind the pass to the middle, Chandler received the ball and took a step, and dunked the basketball with both hands.
12 to 2, Lao K couldn't stand it a little and called a timeout.
The fans are cheering for Guo Xu, it is very enjoyable to watch, the five members of the black team are the starting lineup of last year's US Championships, and Guo Xu beat them with a substitute.
The 35-year-old veteran Kidd broke through with a single defense against Guo Xu, like a queen...... The concubine can't do it.
When the Mavericks and the Nets completed the deal, many basketball experts said that the Mavericks suffered a loss, lost the future, and couldn't win now. Because there are so many speedy guards in the West, Kidd looks particularly old when facing speedy guards.
Lao K made adjustments to replace Kidd, he had to take care of the veteran's face, the scene was too abusive. However, Kidd still has no face after the substitution, which looks like a forced adjustment.
Recently, many people have asserted that the Mavericks will disappear from the ranks of the big and start rebuilding in a year or two, and the reason for the team's collapse is Kidd.
Is Kidd a good defender? Of course, he is the league's current triple-double king, two assists titles, led the Nets to the Finals twice, and is widely regarded as one of the best playmaking guards in NBA history, and a future Hall of Famer.
But Kidd clearly had a side effect on the Mavericks, and it was the same when it came to the national team. He lacks speed, doesn't defend against speedy defenders, and doesn't play fast breaks. Playing positional warfare, his breakthrough and singles ability with the ball is not as good as his teammates, so he can only pass the ball and open up opportunities, at most he is a spiritual leader.
So instead of taking the Mavericks to the next level, Kidd moved the team away from the championship, and the Mavericks had to wait for other positions to be strengthened and Barria to grow.
Lao K talked to the players of the black team about tactics, mainly about defense, let Paul who came off the bench follow Guo Xu, and on the offensive end, he was responsible for organizing the offense and focusing on the ball.
D'Antoni was responsible for laying out tactics for the white team, telling Chandler and Bosh how to cover Guo Xu, Bosh stood and waited for the opportunity to shoot, Chandler was empty to cut the basket, and the two should try to distance themselves as much as possible.
As a coach who has won four championships in the NBA, D'Antoni can only be an assistant coach when he enters the national team, he is actually a little unhappy, but he won't say it explicitly.
When encountering this kind of group competition, when one person is in charge of one team, he quietly competes with Lao K. Guo Xu's performance gave him a long face, and the white team's style of play is the tactic he is good at.
Kidd wiped his sweat with a towel and sat on the sidelines without saying a word. In fact, he didn't run much, but he still sweated a lot, not because of fatigue, but because of pressure.
It was only during the timeout that the crowd on the sidelines fell silent, and the free people who watched the training session for free could not get in the way of the team.
After the players came out, the old K sat down next to Kidd and whispered, "I'm sorry that I won't let you play against Jason again." ”
Kidd smiled and shook his head. "It's okay, but I'm ready to quit after training camp, and as you can see, this team doesn't need me at all."
"Don't say that, if the opponent has a big defender and it's not fast, the team needs you to defend."
"I went to China and the fans would say the same." Kidd took a sip of water and sighed, "Do you think the U.S. team still needs to defend with Jason Guo here?" If the opposing team sends a big guard, they're dead, and Jason can score 100 points himself. ”
“……”
Coach K, who wanted to let the players learn to unite by visiting the military school, suddenly felt that what Kidd said made sense. After losing at the last World Championships, he reviewed the reasons for the defeat and always felt that he had to defend well to ensure victory, but in fact he thought too much.
With Guo Xu here, the team really doesn't have to care much about defense, and the Suns don't defend much......
