Chapter 25: The Little Brother Erupts

Wang Tomorrow shook his head, if he came to play against the Bobcats, he would definitely not use two big centers at the meat shield level, Collins and Kostic only need one to be enough, the opponent's two small guards must be marked, and the efficiency of the upper twin towers on the defensive end is too low.

He thought for a moment, then sat down next to Antoine White and hooked Antoine's shoulder.

The other pointed to the field, ready to explain to him some of the situation on the field.

White listened attentively.

"Antoine, look." Wang tomorrow pointed to the Bobcats' No. 20 player.

"Raymond Felton."

"He's a rookie player for the Bobcats, and he's the most offensive player on this Bobcat team, and when Knight has the ball in his hand, the Bobcats do some single or double screens."

"Look at his dribbling and breaking through the line......"

Wang made an analysis tomorrow, the Bobcats let the two point guards take turns to control the ball for 48 minutes, so after the start, Filton will soon be rested, and when Antoine White and other substitutes come on, they will meet the strong and fast Felton to lead the team.

Ten minutes later, the first quarter of the bench rotation time.

"Go ahead, you can!"

Wang clapped his hands loudly tomorrow, just as he was afraid that others would not know that he had just tutored Antoine White.

Both Frank and John Loyer glanced at Wang, who is a player development consultant and has no problem coaching individual players.

It was veteran Clifford Robinson who smiled and high-fived Wang Tomorrow before he came on the court.

Clifford Robinson eliminated the fatigue of the season under Wang Mingming's peculiar methods, and felt that his physical function was three years younger, and with the help of Wang Mingming, his performance in recent games was eye-catching, and he could contribute an average of 10+4 that is, "10 points and 4 rebounds" per game.

At this time, the Bobcats on the court did not fall behind, leading the Nets by 2 points 18-16.

Because Richard Jefferson plays as a small forward on the court, Antoine White naturally moved to the shooting guard position, partnering Jacqui Vaughn in the backcourt, and inside with Clifford Robinson and Scott Padget.

"Toot ~"

After the whistle, serve the ball from the sideline.

Jacqui Vaughn played the ball up front to Clifford Robinson, who dribbled two steps and then back to Jacqui Vaughn, and the two made pick-and-rolls high on the right.

Antoine White cut to the basket high on the left, took away the defender, and ran to the bottom right corner to ambush him.

Jacqui Vaughn and Robinson's high pick-and-roll had a good breakaway opportunity, and Jacqui Vaughn dribbled and turned, just like the Bobcats did just now, attacking the basket.

Then there was a burst and Antoine White was cleared in the bottom corner.

White was an excellent three-point shooter in college, and in the NBA, as the three-point line was lengthened, he was in an uncomfortable situation, shooting only about 14 percent from three-point range so far this season, and only hitting 1 of 7 so far.

If he is too far from the three-point line, he can only shoot from the middle range, but the closer he is to the basket, the higher the intensity of the defense, and the efficiency of the mid-range is average, which is why he rarely gets playing time before.

The Bobcats' Jumaine Jones directly let go of Antoine White and boldly went to the rest of the Nets.

So when Antoine White received the basketball in the corner, there was no one three meters in front of him.

He didn't want to think so much at this time, after taking the ball, he took a deep breath, adjusted for 0.5 seconds, raised his hand, bent his knees, jumped, and shot......

With your wrists pressed down and your fingers gentle, the basketball spun and flew into the sky.

"Three-pointer in the corner!"

"It's not a good choice!"

As soon as Tony Sr. finished speaking, the three-point shot hit the hollow, making a crisp sound into the net.

โ€œGet it๏ผโ€

He roared excitedly, because Antoine White's three-point shot was too sudden, too unexpected! No one expected him to hit a three-pointer in such a position, and he hasn't shown that kind of operation in his arsenal so far this season.

"He hit, the three-pointer came from Antoine~~~ White!"

Off the field, head coach Frank and fourth assistant coach Wang Mingming stood up and applauded at the same time, Wang Mingming was even more excited, clenched his fists and shouted: "Well done!" โ€

Of course he was excited, the talent accelerator and his special training had an effect, Antoine White successfully trained the three-point shooting ability, although it took some time and experience, but this ability, isn't it equivalent to turning a stone into gold!

Antoine White himself is very excited, and his confidence is built from goal after goal.

Jumaine Jones, who defended Antoine White for the Bobcats, raised his hand to indicate that the ball was his responsibility.

He glanced at Antoine White with a surprised expression, thinking that this guy must have hit it, Antoine White played half a season, only hit a three-point shot in total, and the more he shot, the less confident he became, and many reports before the game said that Antoine White could not adapt to the NBA's three-point shot.

At this time, the Nets had already overtaken by one point at 19-18.

The Bobcats attacked, Raymond Filton broke through with the ball, and after covering in the high post, he used his right hand to break through to the right, and the stocky point guard broke through like a tiger going down the mountain, and the momentum was menacing.

But the Nets' two interior players at this time are both more mobile interior lines, and Clifford Robinson is even flanked by the side.

Facton felt the Nets' own encirclement and interception, and stopped dribbling to find a teammate in a panic, and then was stealed by Robinson, and the Nets instantly formed a counterattack.

It's a pity that this counterattack didn't work, and the Bobcats retreated very quickly.

After a few transitions between offense and defense, the two teams took the lead alternately, and the substitutes played very hotly.

"Antoine White was a well-known marksman in college, and in his junior year, he shot 44.7 percent from three-point range, which ranked first in the Big 12 League."

Commentator Tony Sr. came interested and commented with great interest on Nets rookie Antoine White.

As he spoke, Antoine White received Quinn's mid-range ball, hit a bold jumper, hit all 2 shots, and felt hot in his hand, and at that moment, he felt like Vince Carter, or Kobe Bryant.......

At the start of the second quarter, Antoine White steals the Bobcats' substitute Karim Rush on the spot.

This is the 20th pick in the first round of 02, serving as a scoring guard, after being stolen by Antoine White, he fought to catch up, and under the physical confrontation between the two, Antoine White scored the ball and was stunned to play a 2+1, which directly ignited the overall morale of the Nets, and the bench was boiling.

Antoine White's outburst came so suddenly, he came off the bench and made 3 of 5 shots, scoring 8 points, the Nets didn't win, the bench won a big game, when he was there, the net difference reached 11 points, and the Nets also extended the score advantage to 10 points before he went off the court, leading the Bobcats 36-26.

After the main force appeared, there was no chance for the Bobcats to turn the tables.

By the end of the third quarter, the Nets had a 19-point lead over the Bobcats, 82-63, and the huge margin left the Bobcats desperate in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Bobcats 109-88.

Antoine White played 23 minutes in this game and scored 19 points, including 3-of-6 three-pointers, breaking the shackles of his own three-point shooting in the NBA.

After the game, the media rushed to interview him, and Antoine White couldn't stop crying.

He has been through a lot from an outcast who lost his three-point skill package to now regaining this blockbuster weapon.

"I believe that in the future, three-point shooting will be my strength, not a weakness. I would like to thank Coach Wang, he is really a very, very dedicated coach, helping me train, helping me grow, without his help and teaching, I would not have been able to break this "wall", I even wondered if I should leave this league at one point, it was he who gave me courage and confidence, he told me "Hey, man, you are the best, you can be a qualified and excellent NBA player." "But in reality, he's the best, he's got a talent that goes far beyond the prejudices of the outside world, he's a genius......."

Antoine White spoke of his loyal supporters of Wang Mingming, as if pouring bitter water, and seemed to carry a hint of his injustice to fate.

As soon as this interview came out, it immediately added a lot of prestige to Wang Mingming.
