Chapter 35: A slight edge
"What an adventurer." Larry who came to watch the game. Brown lamented that as the head coach who led the Detroit Pistons to defeat the luxurious Lakers with "F4", he didn't like Sun Yue's defensive style because of his strict governance.
He likes to be like Chauncey. Billups is such a steady point guard, he doesn't need this kind of risk-taking spirit with dangerous attributes, if this ball Sun Yue doesn't catch up, this ball is a must-score, although he and deputy general manager Mel came to inspect the players, but he can't bear the team to choose such a risk-taking point guard.
As he sighed, Mel next to him told him clearly: "No, it's not an adventure. This is Sun Yue's regular defensive means. ”
"Huh?" Larry. Brown's brow furrowed, and he wondered how any player could defend in such a defensive way. "But how can he be sure that he will be able to cover Nate. Robinson's dunk? ”
"I don't know." Detective Mel shook his head: "All I know is that this kid is not only gifted beyond the ordinary, but also full of spirituality. Larry, you know what? Seeing him occasionally reminds me of that little emperor in Cleveland. ”
???? When the two were still discussing hotly, suddenly the fans at the Bank of America stadium let out a neat exclamation, and the two quickly put their attention back to the court, fortunately, the Bank of America stadium has a replay function, and the big screen on the court is replaying the scene just now.
???? Sun Yue used a simple crossover to get past Robinson, who lost his defensive position because he had just been covered by Sun Yue's pegboard hat and was eager to counterattack Sun Yue.
Sun Yue broke through to the three-point line at an extremely fast speed, and the Eskimos' scoring guard hurriedly stepped forward to make up for the defense, and at this time, Sun Yue broke through a jump step to dodge the scoring guard who made up the defense. And at the moment when he jumped into the free throw line, Vonleh on the inside quickly filled in the position.
And Feng Lei was tall and strong, and with his constantly waving arms, he completely blocked Sun Yue's passing route. At this time, Robinson, who had just been passed by Sun Yue, also rushed over to wrap Sun Yue and force him to make a mistake.
This is already a desperate situation for the ball handler, because after the jump, the foot can no longer move, or it will be a walking violation. Usually at this time, the attacker ends up either by mistake or forced to dead. And the pause not only has to shout, but also has to compare the pause action in the hand, and the opponent will cut off the ball when playing, and it seems that Sun Yue is about to make a mistake.
???? And just when everyone thought that this would be a mistake, Sun Yue took a step back slightly, as if he wanted to pause, Feng Lei hurriedly stepped forward, forcing Sun Yue to make a gesture of pause, and just as he was moving forward, Sun Yue suddenly shook his wrist.
Feng Lai suddenly felt a chill in his crotch, the basketball flew out quickly from his crotch, and Sun Yue sent an unusually hidden and tricky crotch pass.
??? Caught by the camera? This pass flew into the Eskimo penalty area like an eye, and Chris Tuft appeared in the pass path just right, he grabbed the basketball and jumped up directly with a one-handed split, because Feng Leh, who was guarding the penalty area, went to cover Sun Yue, and there was no defender next to Taft.
"This crotch pass is very beautiful." Mel couldn't help but look at Larry. Brown said.
"The vision and passing awareness are good, and the passing skills are also very good, but I still have the same sentence: it's too risky." Larry. Brown didn't skimp on his praise for Sun Yue, but he still didn't like Sun Yue's death-defying passing.
Mel shrugged his shoulders and he didn't continue with Larry. Brown argued. He knows too well how stubborn the old man around him is, especially after he led the Detroit Pistons to a championship this year, and no one can shake his decision, not even the team owner.
"China's Sun is a very good passer and has a selfless style of play. But I don't think he's too bad physically, he can't even face strong confrontations in the college league, and it's definitely going to be even worse when he enters NBAY. I know you'll say he has great potential, but he's a yellow man after all, and yellow talent is limited. Except, of course, our Yao, who is too tall after all. ”
Away from Mel and Larry. Not far from Brown's seat, Rockets general manager Carroll. Dawson sat on the sidelines and kept babbling to Daryl Morey, assistant general manager of the Rockets next to him, that Dawson was always angry that the boss didn't believe in his eyes.
Sitting next to Dawson, Daryl Morey, a data expert from MIT who had never played basketball, never answered, constantly looking through his player stats and player profiles, trusting the non-verbal numbers more than what he heard from others.
Robinson suffered two losses on Sun Yue in a row, his head was a little clearer, he held the ball outside the three-point line, and motioned to Feng Lei on the inside to come out and block for himself.
???? Sun Yue was blocked tightly by Vonleh's muscular body, and Chris Tuft could only stop Robinson's breakthrough.
???? Robinson was very explosive, dribbling directly to Tuft, and suddenly jumped up in the break to hit two points.
???? Taft didn't react at all to Robinson's sudden throw, and he thought Robinson would choose to break through to the basket.
???? This is Robinson's third stunt in addition to the dunk and dry pull-out jump shot, as a basketball player with only 1.75 meters, if you want to reduce the possibility of being blocked, you must let others not guess the timing and position of your shot, this is a very difficult way to play, Robinson's trick is from his idol Allen. What Iverson learned was that he had weird timing and relied heavily on his own speed and bounce.
Sun Yue saw Nate on the defensive end. Robinson's strength, not to be outdone, Sun Yue went back to single-play Robinson.
The other players of the Wolverine team all pulled away, Sun Yue wanted to stay in the position to receive the basketball and directly turned around and played high, and Robinson's height disadvantage was too great, and he didn't dare to cut off Sun Yue's ball, after all, Sun Yue's height plus the advantage of arm span were there, and he cut the ball at will, and it was likely that the ball was not cut off and he had to pay a foul, but Robinson could only watch Sun Yue score a layup on his head.
In the 11th minute and 50 seconds of the first half, the score was 21:17, and the Wolverines scored 21 points, of which 17 points were related to Sun Yue, Robinson's height disadvantage was infinitely magnified in front of home fans and NBA scouts, and he let Sun Yue cut down 7 points and 5 assists on all three shots.
Of course, Robinson, who was deflated on the defensive end, proved himself on the offensive end, in the first half of nearly 12 minutes, Robinson scored 9 points on 4 of 10 shots, as long as his teammates can block Sun Yue for him a little, Robinson can shoot anywhere on the court, but the shooting rate is not so consistent, and Robinson, as a point guard, has not yet had an assist.
At 11 minutes and 50 seconds of the first half, Sun Yue vs Robinson, 7 points and 5 assists vs 9 points and 0 assists, Sun Yue was slightly better.
