Chapter 30: Playing with Korver!

George's basketball philosophy was deeply influenced by his father Byron, who told George very early on that he wanted to make George a person who had no one to replace on the court.

To be such a player, you have to have your own soul in every action and every action, and if you don't, then you'll be classified as a "3-and-D (three-point plus defense)" or "rebounding blue-collar" or some other kind like most role players in the NBA, like a robot.

And players are living human beings, not robots, and should not be defined by humans.

So, George's performance in college is different, in college he was a leader and could control everything, but now he is a substitute for the bench.

George doesn't feel that he should tremble and follow the rules if he has no status in the team, which is not in line with his usual style, besides, these days when he was snubbed in the team, George has always thought, as long as you D'Antoni dare to delegate me or trade me, I will definitely be able to become a legend in another team and then slap you in the face!

George passed the ball to Xiao Si, Xiao Si had to dribble the ball by himself, he was two meters and eight meters tall, and the speed was still okay, but in the past few years, when he was on the fast attack, he was fast attacking without the ball, and he was a little uncomfortable with the fast attack at first glance, and the defenders behind him were chasing after him, which also made him a little nervous.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at Xiao Si's not fast pace of attack, and thought that the anchor just wanted to pass directly to Xiao Si to complete the attack, and they complained.

[Stoudemire and LeBron James are not much taller, right? ] If it was LBJ, he would have run to the basket and dunked it a long time ago. 】

[How can you compare a small forward to an interior player?] A demon like James, how many years can there be one, the anchor is not clear, don't you know? 】

[Giannis Antetokounmpo is also an inside player, taller than Stoudemire, this ball is replaced by him, even if two people catch up, he can still dunk violently!] 】

On the barrage, everyone was talking about names that George hadn't heard before, and George didn't have time to appreciate the barrage at the moment, he knew that Stoudemire couldn't hit the ball, so he rushed to the front court as soon as possible.

"Here!" George shouted to Stoudemire, who was caught in the bag.

At this moment, Stoudemire was close to the basket, but he wasn't fast enough, and the Bulls' defenders had blocked his way, and just as Stoudemire was hesitating to attack, he realized that George was at the three-point line behind him, and it was an empty spot.

Smalls quickly passes the ball to George.

George got the ball, his eyes were on the basket, and he made a gesture to shoot, Korver quickly rushed over when he saw this, and just as Korver rushed over, George passed the ball to the left.

At this time, point guard Felton had just reached the three-point line at the top of the arc, and no one noticed him.

"Felton is empty!" Fields was shocked to see the pass, and he didn't know how George saw Felton coming over.

Felton catches the ball and shoots, three-point shot, hit!

[Pass it beautifully! 】

[When the anchor passed to Stoudemire in the backcourt, he designed this pass, right?] You and Felton swapped functions, you became PG, he became SG, haha. 】

In the Knicks box, the team played a wonderful game, but Fields was not in the mood to applaud, he looked at coach D'Antoni to see his opinion on the offense from the face that was very good at hiding emotions.

"Mike George's attack this time is too risky, although the goal is scored in the end, the coach will definitely not agree with him!" Fields thought to himself.

D'Antoni still stood there unsmiling, but his heart was in turmoil by George.

"Traction, that's what I've been looking for with the Suns." D'Antoni said in his heart, "The transfer of the ball and the space on the field, this is something that I always emphasise, but no one can understand it. ”

"If Mike George had passed back to Felton who was not in a good position when he got the rebound, then by the time Felton dribbled past half court and the defenders were all in place, there would have been no more play and less play, and there would have been one empty spot after another."

D'Antoni thought back to the attack just now, and he didn't think George's approach was wrong, because it coincided with his philosophy!

Just a few years ago, D'Antoni's "seven-second fast break" was introduced, an offensive system designed to make it difficult for defenders to make the right defensive choices, and that's exactly what George just did.

When the ball is in Xiao Si's hands, you have to ask two people to follow him, and when the ball is passed back to George, you have to continue to follow, and at this time, George only needs to gently divide the ball again, and the Bulls are powerless to deal with it.

"Ball, will find the most energetic people." D'Antoni often said this to the players, and it was the same when he was with the Suns, and it was the same with the Knicks, but unfortunately, in the Knicks, George seemed to be the only one who understood.

George, is this team the best player for the D'Antoni system? Should he continue to be left out in the cold?

This is a question that Assistant Coach Woodson is also looking forward to, because he is the only one who can read the amazement and joy in D'Antoni's heart.

"Did that person teach him?" D'Antoni muttered softly.

George had no idea that D'Antoni was fully aware of the existence of George's father, Byron, and that Byron had been a member of the Lakers.

The Lakers team during the SHOWTIME period had a profound impact on D'Antoni, and if it weren't for their era, there would have been no current D'Antoni at all, and there would have been no later "seven-second offensive tactics".

Because it was an away game, George's defensive attack did not cause much repercussions on the spot, and the Bulls did not care, and Rose continued to organize the offense.

This time, Rose and center Noah made a cover cooperation, and then Rose passed to Noah, who cut inside, and Noah wanted to make a layup, but was blocked by Xiao Si with a slap!

The Knicks are on a fast break again!

"Rush up, rush up!" D'Antoni shouted from the sidelines that he was upset that the players had looked like veterans in their 30s in the past two games.

Felton had already got the ball and rushed forward as soon as possible, he was fast and strong, but he was only 185cm tall and had a lot of risk to score alone with a defender.

So, when he saw George coming after him and reappeared at the three-point line, he immediately passed the ball.

The moment George got the basketball, he shook the ball to the left, this position, this action, is exactly the same as the ball that he just assisted Felton!

So, when George made the move, Korver quickly turned his head to look to the left, however, George didn't pass the ball at all.

George fooled Korver and hit a three-pointer on the jump without any interference!

[Damn! The streamer's passing feint is beautiful! Completely stun Korver! 】

[Hahaha, the anchor has just entered the NBA, and today is the first time he appeared in regular time, and it has been less than two minutes since he appeared, and he actually deceived Korver, who has been in the league for seven years! ] 】

[Don't say more, awesome! Tip and give! 】

There was also an exclamation at the scene, this kind of action, ordinary people don't dare to do it at all, and now the person who does this action is actually a rookie who has just played the second game......

Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau crossed his hands on his hips and asked with some surprise: "Who is this No. 30?" ”

The assistant coach stepped forward and said, "He's this year's rookie, Mike George, the little green house member who was undrafted in the draft, and we talked about him at the team meeting a few months ago. ”

"Oh." Thibodeau thought about it carefully, as if he had some impression of George, and then hurriedly asked: "You go and check, in the first few games, what was his playing time in each game?" ”

The assistant coach looked at the Knicks' records in the first two games and replied, "He didn't play in the first game, and he played three minutes in garbage time at the end of the second game." ”

"What did you say?!" Thibodeau couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the assistant coach in shock and even anger, and shouted, "He's been on the pitch for less than two minutes today!" You're talking about a guy who played less than five minutes in the NBA and played my 'best sixth man' like a monkey? ”
