Chapter 225: Taking the Lead
Xue Ding's reduction of ball holding is also a tactical consideration, and now Roy's speed and explosiveness have degraded a little, of course, the projection ability is still there, a good height, a good vision, as a pivot and shooter, it is still very lethal.
Facing the sun, it is necessary to slow down the speed, and at this time, Roy's role is highlighted.
If Xue Ding holds the ball, it must be a breakthrough, three points, how convenient and how to come.
But compared to the speed of the running team, this is not a very wise choice.
The most important thing is to do a good job in the team's tactical execution.
So at the beginning, Xue Ding tried to do his own running and defense, and did not come to stick to the ball.
The inside line Xiao Si desperately defended around the front, which made Chandler very uncomfortable.
As a mobile center, Chandler's speed and bounce are all top-notch, but his scoring ability is relatively simple, either an empty catch or a violent dunk, and this style of play needs a good vacancy to cooperate.
As soon as he saw that Xue Ding did not hold the ball, Xiao Si boldly went around the front defense, constantly entangled, and destroyed Chandler's position and receiving the ball.
Hill's defense was very tight, and there were basically foul actions, grabbing, coming, and pushing small movements, but the referee didn't care, and Xue Ding didn't say anything.
As a strong point on the field, Aldridge saw that his teammates' chances were not very good, and immediately raised the height, and after receiving the ball, he quickly turned to face the frame.
Richardson followed, spreading his arms to interfere, and Barbosa consciously adjusted his center of gravity and prepared for the joint defense.
Xue Ding was in a hurry, and there were still 5 seconds left.
Obviously, Ade also realized this, raised his hand and threw his hand back, the height advantage was too great, and Richardson's supplementary defense did not pose much of a threat, and he hit a two-point shot.
The score was 14:14, and the draw continued.
Nash held the ball through the half, a change of direction accelerated, past Roy, who was not firmly established, and rushed directly to the inside, facing Ade in the left defensive position, Nash paused and accelerated, and rushed directly through Ade's defense, Chandler reached out and blocked it.
Nash changed hands in the air and hit a pick-and-roll.
Xue Ding was keenly aware that Nash was beginning to seek a change in offense.
As a thin small guard, Nash's biggest characteristic is that he is not afraid of physical contact, but instead is a master in physical confrontation and looking for opportunities.
Whenever this happens, it's time for Nash to activate the outside mode.
In the next round, Roy held the ball and landed high on the right, and Nash held Roy's lower handicap and did not give him a chance to start quickly.
Ade quickly mentioned the high position, Xue Ding ran to the direction where Ade was placed, and the two tacitly made an outside block and easily hung up Hill.
Xue Ding received the ball, half-turned and jumped, took a shot, and flew to the basket in a graceful arc.
"Huh" The wonderful sound of hollowing into the net, Xue Ding waved his fist excitedly, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, this smooth feeling, 810 points of star points are not in vain.
Roy walked over first, raising his right hand with a smile on his face.
"It works well together"
"You're great too"
The two happily came to an interactive tout while retreating.
Nash pushed the ball directly past the halfcourt, Richardson came up to block and hang Roy, Nash accelerated into the interior in one step, took three steps, and went straight to the basket.
Ade reached out to intercept, Nash did not slow down and did not change direction, and when the two were about to make contact, he passed the ball to the bottom left corner with one hand behind his back, and Barbossa received the ball in the open space and hit a three-point shot.
Seeing Nash's breakthrough, Batum subconsciously ran over from the bottom line, wanting to help defend and throw Barbosa clean, for Nash, such a mistake is impossible to let go.
Before the game, Xue Ding specially analyzed Nash's video and found that he likes to break through and actively seek physical confrontation, but it is not a real collision, but a very clever use of the human body to contact the instinct to protect himself for a moment, accurately find the vacant teammates, use the body as a wall, and pass the ball behind his back.
In a word, it is bold and careful, and it is good to live.
As soon as he scored a three-pointer, Nash managed to return one.
Facing such an opponent, Xue Ding felt that his fighting spirit was even stronger.
It's like playing LOL, if it's a group of elementary school students, it's easy to win, and you won't be very excited, but when you meet a master, you will instantly cheer up.
Xue Ding felt like this now, and every pore of his body became excited.
As soon as Roy passed the half, Chandler and Ad were in position inside, Xue Ding ran to Ade on the left, Ade took advantage of the situation to block and dismantle, hung Hill, and Richardson quickly made up for the defense.
Xue Ding brushed Chandler and slipped past the bottom line, shook off Richardson, ran to the baseline of 30 degrees to the right, turned to catch the ball, and walked up with three points.
"Whew" three-point hit, clean and neat.
Xue Ding turned around and spread his hands and glided towards the backcourt.
Teammates ran over and high-fived in celebration.
However, this was only the beginning, and Xue Ding took over the game in an instant.
Through active running, tacit blocking and dismantling by teammates, and Roy's broad vision, as long as Xue Ding is out of the vacant position, the ball will always be in place as soon as possible.
After receiving the ball, Xue Ding always jumped up without hesitation and hit steadily.
Under the leadership of Xue Ding, the Trail Blazers took a nine-point lead in the first quarter.
Xue Ding made 4 of 4 shots and scored 12 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides came off the bench, and under the leadership of Miller, the Trail Blazers played steadily, and when attacking, they stood in a good position, patiently passed the ball, and did not rashly shoot to give the Suns a chance to break quickly.
Once the ball doesn't go in, immediately retreat and drag the Suns into positional battles.
Although the overall shooting rate was not good, relying on the correct strategy and execution, it continued to maintain the lead in the score for more than three minutes.
Gentry immediately called a timeout, as the acting head coach and a supporter of the run-and-bomb tactics, he couldn't tolerate his own team, and started a positional battle, if he didn't want to give the main force more rest, he would have replaced the main force a long time ago.
With a wave of his hand, the main force was up, and under the substitute, Pritchard saw this, and Xue Ding and other main forces also quickly appeared.
Nash took the serve from the back court and pushed it into his half court at high speed, and Barbosa and Hill quickly positioned themselves in the bottom corner to take Batum and Xue Ding.
Small, Richardson opened up the position with one left and one right outside the line in three seconds.
Nash accelerated one step and stopped in disguise, his thin body flexibly threw away Roy, Richardson ran to the high post at the same time, facing Nash who rushed in, Ade hesitated, gave up the pursuit, or made up for it.
That's what Nash wanted, and the ball did float to Richardson outside the three-point line at the top of the arc.
The space between each other is too large, and it is impossible to make up for it in time.
Richardson took the ball and hit a three-point shot in one go, and the score was 30-25.
The home fans, cheering and cheering for their home team.
