"The last shot of the half, Cousins shot...... No! It's a pity, the King's half-time score is a bit behind! ”

After entering the bootcamp for the second time, about a month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's the beginning of 2011, and the NBA regular season continues.

"Alas......"

In the Sacramento Sleep Train Arena, fans sighed and shook their heads, the expressions on their faces were indescribably unhappy.

"It was a good first half! Come, go to the locker room, rest and lay out the tactics for the second half! ”

Today's visit to Sacramento is a team in the upper middle of the league, the New York Knicks.

Although it is temporarily ranked second in the Atlantic Division, although there are two fierce players in the team, Xiao Si and Anthony, although the coach is McD Anthony, who is extremely good at adjusting the offense, the regular season record scorer.

But injury problems in New York, as well as compatibility issues with the "loofah" combination, prevented them from meeting expectations before the start of the season.

In the plane where you and I are on, Anthony was traded to New York at the end of the season. Prior to that, Xiao Si had played at an MVP level, and New York had a pretty good record.

It wasn't until later that Xiao Si was injured that some problems arose in New York.

However, due to the appearance of Chen Mu and Gu Yu, this transaction was advanced.

"Half-time stats!"

On the side of the commentary stage, the commentator began to broadcast real-time data: "At the end of the half, the visiting team New York Knicks temporarily lead by 18 points at 59-41. In terms of personal data, Chauncy Billups had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Tony Douglas had 4 points, Carmelo Anthony had 16 points and 6 rebounds in the half, Amare Staudemire also had 11 points and 7 rebounds, and Sean Williams had 2 points. ”

It's basically a normal performance, and there are no explosive players on the New York side, and there are no players who are particularly pitiful, and the whole is decent.

Under D'Antoni's system, 59 points in the half is not a particularly exaggerated score, and the defense on the King's side is completely acceptable.

The problem is on the offensive end.

"On the Kings' side, the current highest-scoring guy is the hairstyle brother, who has scored 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting and 2-of-4 free throws in the half. The rest of the players didn't score in double figures, and the overall offensive shooting percentage was quite low. ”

As the commentator narrates, the half-court shooting point distribution map is displayed.

On the New York side, it is worthy of an old demon point guard of Billups' level, and the overall shot distribution is quite reasonable.

The mid-range is reserved for Anthony and Small, and the points are scored by role players under the basket and outside the three-point line. With a hit rate of more than 55 percent, the offense can be said to be a smooth ride.

On the king's side......

"The defensive pressure on the hairstyle brother today is as great as ever, although he is a substitute, but on the court, New York always uses the best outside defenders to follow the hairstyle brother. interfered with his every run and shot, and so far, the effect is still very good. ”

The narrator continued: "The problem is that New York has made up its mind, which is to kill the brother who does not include the hairstyle and does not change the guard. If the hairstyle brother has the opportunity to bypass it, he will get around, and the score will let him score, and he won't make any additional adjustments. The rest of the players continued to defend their opponents in a step-by-step manner, preventing the Kings from getting their overall offense to play. ”

The director broadcast everything, and the highlights of the first half of the game appeared in the screen.

Gu Yu fought almost alone, although he also relied on all kinds of off-ball running and skills to score some points, but being stared at by a person from beginning to end still made his hit rate not look good.

But compared with Gu Yu, the performance of the other players of the king is even more bleak.

DeMarcus Cousins was 1-of-6 in the half, Tyrek Evans was 2-of-8 in the half, Francisco Garcia was 1-of-5 and Jason Thompson was 1-of-4. The rest of the players on the bench also performed mediocre, with a shooting rate of less than 40 percent, if it weren't for the fact that at the end of the half, the New York defense was a little relaxed, allowing the Kings to brush up some fast breaks, I'm afraid that after halftime, the Kings may not be able to score 40 points! ”

The brutal truth is in front of the young Kings.

Talent is talent, strength is strength.

The Kings are far from reaching the level of a real strong team, and the so-called "big killers" are just some small coincidences on their way forward.

"Before the Kings suffered a series of losses, some commentators have suggested that the Kings are currently following the Spurs' way to develop the team's three main offensive players, which is a bit premature."

The commentator said with emotion: "We see their talent, and we also see that they can play devastating offenses in some games. But at this moment, we have to say that when other teams began to study them, guard against them, and prepare for them, the whole team of the Kings was beaten and bruised. ”

Black.

It is not an exaggeration at all, but at this time, it seems so apt.

The Kings are not as simple as a single player hitting the rookie wall, but the whole team is in an ignorant and undeveloped state, and it is impossible to adapt to the real NBA-level confrontation.

Using Gu Yu's scoring explosiveness, veteran coach Westphall set up a lot of targeted tactics. The Kings are actually very good at exploiting this, involving the opposing defense, and then using a dazzling transfer ball to play a mercury-like offense.

But when the opponent got serious and started to study the Kings a week or even a month in advance, Gu Yu, and their offensive and defensive systems.

The king will stop cooking.

“…… Depend on! ”

Home team dressing room.

"There are people everywhere, and they can't be transferred at all!"

Cousins was very annoyed, staring at the floor and panting, only to feel that he was a brute force that had nowhere to go, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"I don't have a cousin, I don't even have a little bit of defensive focus, we play one by one in all positions, it's ...... How can this be fought! ”

"DeMarcus ......"

The old man stood aside, wanting to speak and stopping.

He knows that this is the "growing pains", and this is the process that every young team with a promising future must face.

But for now, whatever he says doesn't seem to work.

That's right, the Kings' record has never returned to the 50 percent win rate threshold since the 4-4 record after eight games.

All opponents have taken inspiration from the fierce battle between the Spurs and the Kings, and after Gu Yu won the Player of the Week, it has also been thoroughly studied by all teams.

Want to use Gu Yu's containment to affect the defense, and then drive the whole team to attack?

Well, the correspondence is very simple:

No matter how many points Gu Yu scores, he will not change his defensive strategy.

It's as simple as that, it's as straightforward as that, but

That's what it works.

"In the second half, we'll focus on blocking."

After thinking about it for a long time, the old man still picked up the pen and drew tactics on the tactics board.

"Tyrek and DeMarcus started to block high in the middle and then spread out as much space as possible on the outside. Tyrek, when he has the opportunity, he will directly break through to the basket, and then transfer the ball after pulling the space. DeMarcus, you have to be ready to catch the ball at all times, and you can't be distracted. As for the outside shooters, don't rush to shoot after getting the ball, and if the opponent's defense is not pulled, move it out again. Remember, look for open seats as much as possible, only then can we ......"

The old handsome's words echoed in his ears, Gu Yu was sweating, his eyes looked at the tactical board, but he always felt that something was wrong.

This will not work.

Gu Yu knew very well that this simple tactic would not work.

It's true that a single block can bring about a thousand changes. But the premise is that your blocking and demolition executor must be at the level of Nash Smalls and Stockton Malone, otherwise, why should people bird you?

Evans is good, Cousins is great, but it's only in the category of "rookie player". Really against experienced opponents, such as today's Billups, Anthony, Smalls, etc., the King's two major internal and external drives, it is far from enough.

And on my side......

"Tsk......tsk!"

Gu Yu shook his head and sighed.

Still not strong enough.

In Gu Yu's mind, many names appeared.

What would have happened if you had taken this defensive strategy against the Lakers and let Kobe Bryant go one-on-one?

What if you didn't wrap up Jordan against the Bulls and let him destroy your defenders face to face?

If you run into stars like Wade, Maddy, Carter, and Ray Allen, and you play how he likes to play singles and singles, do you think, can you win?

Maybe, but only if you have to be a team like the Spurs or the Pinnacle Pistons.

On his side, although he kept getting one-on-one opportunities throughout the game, he was unable to create enough kills to make the opponent "flesh pain" because of his lack of personal ball-holding attack ability, which led to the team's inability to attack.

This is the reason why these teams dare to let themselves play all over the court when facing themselves.

It's not enough to be a system shooter and scorer.

If you want to save this team, you can't do it yourself.

After all, it's still the same sentence......

"I'm not strong enough......!"

In Gu Yu's eyes, a flame of forbearance rose endlessly.

About an hour or so later.

"It's over!"

Another regular season game for the Kings is over.

"Well done!"

On the sidelines, the visiting coach D'Antoni was not even particularly excited, just nodded slightly, and greeted the lovers who came off the field.

"Alas...... Scattered scattered ......"

The Kings fans also bowed their heads and sighed, and walked out of the court one by one, and even a few fans ran to the tunnel of the visiting players, shouting for Anthony or Xiaosi's autographs.

"Cousin......"

On the bench, Gu Yu sat in place and didn't say a word.

"Shall we go?"

Cousins stepped forward and stretched out his hand, Gu Yu hesitated for a while, but still reached out and high-five his cousin, then got up and walked out of the court.

Be strong.

When he left the court completely, Gu Yu turned around and took a deep look at the arena.

I have to get stronger to break down this wall and not get my nose and face swollen again and again.

As for our team......

"Rest at night and start preparing for the next game tomorrow."

Westphaal walked at the front and said, "Be mentally prepared to play first in the league." ”

First in the league.

Gu Yu's fists clenched and he took a deep breath.

We need a win, a win that will wake up the flames of the team.

First in the league, it seems like a good opportunity.

And, playing first in the league, it means our opponents will be ......

"Philadelphia 76ers......"

Beside him, Whiteside shuddered: "You can't beat it, right......??" ”

"If you haven't beaten it, you say you can't beat it, so it's still a fart?"

Gu Yu stretched out his hand and shook his head, and continued to walk forward, but the expression on his face was not as fierce or funny as usual.

Rather, serious.

"With so many players gone, the starting lineup is three out of five, and you can still get the first ...... in the league in the new season"

When he walked into the locker room, Gu Yu's mind couldn't help but appear in the video footage of Philadelphia's game this season.

In the picture, a man standing at the apex, his body seems to be shining with boundless golden light, and from a distance, he has even forgotten his fear, and only ......

Submit to.

The strong strength of the first person in the league, the super explosiveness of a team can be blown up by one person, the ubiquitous and all-round control of the whole court, and all the rebounds seem to be the dominance that can be directly picked off as soon as you stretch out your hand.

Chen Mu, and his Philadelphia 76ers, are about to bring the most desperate hell experience to Gu Yu in his rookie season.
