Chapter 166: McCarvey
Li Ming's role in the No. 2 position is more of an offense, and in the No. 1 position, he can give full play to his containment, because Li Ming is not a good off-ball runner, and his scoring style on the scoring guard mostly comes from his personal ball-handling attack.
One of the problems with all ball-handling point guards is that they can make the tactical rotation stuck.
For example, Maddie's good martial arts from top to bottom, especially his pull-out jump shot, is not an exaggeration to describe it as picturesque, but when he uses this move, the problem that often arises is that everyone on the court stands in place, and he can't run tactically, and it becomes four people looking at him 1v5.
Of course, it must be a good goal to score, but if you can't score, it will naturally drag down the team and even affect the feel of the rest of the team.
Someone better than him is Carmelo Anthony.
Although he is not a player in the same position, Anthony's most conventional weapon is singles, his jump shot is very good, his three-point shooting is also very good, and his breakthrough is not bad, in short, he is a big killer on the offensive end.
But there is a problem, he can't play without the ball, Lin crazy made the whole United States crazy back then, but the only reason why he felt unhappy was that Jeremy Lin was also a ball-handling type player, and he needed a lot of ball, which was related to him.
In the end, he forced Jeremy Lin away and continued to play singles, but as he got older, he now has to watch the sky in singles, and it feels better, but he strikes iron every day when he feels bad, and the metallurgical industry in Russia has doubled because of his franchise.
So there's nothing wrong with a player who can play with his back to his back and is a good attacker, but what's even better is that he can play with his back and pass the ball with one hand.
For example, the Bulls' famous triangle offense is to run with Jordan who can run on the back, don't think that Jordan is a good scorer, in fact, his passing ability is not bad at all, for a period of time he made a cameo appearance at point guard because of the team's main control injury, and the result was easily a triple-double per game.
And the gap between Kobe and him is here, Kobe Bryant is not unable to pass the ball, he doesn't like to pass the ball, as long as there are no more than five people who cover him, he will come by himself.
This is how the Zen master was angry with him, if it weren't for the Lakers who came later and had the ability to respond to Paul Gasol, then the Zen master would definitely have to go.
Kobe Bryant can't play without the ball, and he can't be the axis of the triangle offense.
Li Ming was actually the same as Anthony and Kobe, and the efficiency of the bag was immediately reduced, if it wasn't for the passing ability of white chocolate, then his performance and deterrence would definitely not be as good as it is now.
Although Li Ming prefers to be in the No. 2 position, because then he can attack wildly, but today in the face of the two long-handed monsters of the Hornets, he still plays the No. 1 position to be more brilliant.
At least that's what Hoiberg thinks.
And the ball just now is the best embodiment, no one dares to wrap Li Ming in the No. 1 position, because his overall view is there, and Walker's figure in the No. 1 position is not tall, when Li Ming forms a dislocation, it means that the latter is also in a dislocation, and there is no need to leave a vacant position at all, just pass it directly to Walker's defenders.
The average height of the Bulls on the court is now 1.96 meters taller, and whoever hits him is half a head taller, and the latter's general interference will not affect their shots at all.
Poundexter's goal was the most striking column, and in the next few minutes, the Bulls followed this style of play, allowing Li Ming to fall low and forcing the Hornets to be misplaced to defend.
No matter how you say it, the 1.85-meter Walker can't withstand Li Ming's strong attack in the low post.
Li Ming then passed the ball to Walker's teammate who was misplaced to finish the attack.
In just a few rounds, the situation on the court changed abruptly, the score difference suddenly overtook him, and the Bulls' offense returned to its previous fluidity, which made Hojberg also breathe a sigh of relief, and the first few balls just started really worried him.
"Toot!" After another goal from the Bulls, the margin reached eight points, and the Hornets finally called a timeout. Walker's fate is certain, he's a colander now, and he can't play again.
The Bulls haven't changed, but they're still in the lead, and there's no need to change anything to keep things the same in order to see the next round.
Walker's bench is Michael ~ Carter ~ Williams, don't get me wrong, this is one person, not Michael Jordan, Vince Carter and Deron Williams.
He was a rookie with the 11th pick in 13, and when this guy first debuted, he was full of anticipation, and the 76ers cultivated him as the cornerstone of the team at that time.
Because this guy got 22 points, 12 assists, 9 steals and 7 rebounds in his career debut, a quasi-quadruple-double, yes, in the first game of the NBA.
Moreover, he got this data, and there was only one mistake! In today's terms, it's a powerful explosion!
At that time, all the media said that this guy's name was his template, he was a combination of Jordan, Carter and Delong, and you can imagine how shocking he was.
And he didn't just perform brilliantly in one game, he also scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals against Rose in his prime, becoming the first player of the week after O'Neal to be selected as the player of the week in the first week of his rookie season.
This is an achievement that Li Ming has not achieved.
The popularity of this guy at that time made the TV station specially arrange a live broadcast in the United States.
It's just a pity that he only lasted for a week, and then slowly returned to a normal rookie performance, and then got worse and worse season after season, and was even abandoned by the 76ers.
has become a typical representative of debut and peak, no, others are still fierce in a rookie season! He was fierce for the first week, and then he ran out of stamina.
In recent years, he has become a wanderer in the league, and he was abandoned by Kidd in the Bucks, came to the Hornets, and honestly started from the bench, although the performance is still up and down, but he can still shine in 16 minutes per game. For example, when Walker becomes a colander on the defensive end, he can top it, no matter how bad it is, it is a big word of 1.98 meters, and in the No. 1 position, it is a giant-like existence.
Li Ming suddenly faced a point guard who could be at eye level with him and was still a little unaccustomed for a while, leaning sideways to protect the ball, not in a hurry, he had never played with McCarvey, and he didn't understand the latter's defensive habits, so he didn't want to attack rashly.
"Another long-handed monster!" McCarvey's biggest attraction was his long hands, constantly shaking, looking ready to pull out the ball.
