Chapter 21 60% control progress
Brandon was eager to get back, and after his player fell into the half, he quickly reached out to his point guard for the ball.
Andrews is also very good at being a person, knowing that this is a personal war between Brandon and that Chinese American, and a big one is a racial war between American rookies and Chinese rookies, so he did not hesitate to hand over the ball, and then motioned to his teammates to pull away with his defenders and let them have a one-on-one fair duel!
"Hey, boy, you look like you want to single me, but are you really so confident that you can score?"
My Neighbor Totoro sneered at the serious-looking black small forward, and the trash talk was not ready to stop for a moment.
Brandon didn't say much, he first made a tentative step like Totoro did before, and then made a shooting move, but in the face of the opponent's standard triple threat move, Totoro didn't move at all........
His policy is very simple, even if his strength is in the bull break, no matter how bad the opponent is, as long as it is not the gap between amateur and professional, it is impossible for him to prevent every attack of the opponent.
But Totoro can limit the opponent's offensive methods, and the Asian posture has clearly told the other party that if you pull out the waves, you can, but if you want to break through yourself, don't dream.
Brandon doesn't believe in evil, the black small forward said that his head is relatively iron, and seeing that his fake throw didn't fool the other party, he didn't care so much, he directly shot the ball and wanted to squeeze through the left side of Totoro, ready to rely on his first step of explosiveness to get a little bit of Totoro!
But My Neighbor Totoro said that you really think too much, if you are an iron head, then I am probably a diamond, even if you knock your iron head to pieces, you can't pass my wall.
My Neighbor Totoro moved sideways with Brandon's unimaginable reaction speed and flexible footsteps, and he was stuck in his inside line first, and the black small forward saw that he couldn't get rid of the other party with speed, and was ready to use his own power to wipe it in.
However, with a loud "poof", Totoro was not pushed by the other party, but Brandon himself lost his balance and fell to the ground due to physical confrontation, and the ball rumbled to the side.
Bryce. Johnson picked up the ball, there were only about 3 seconds left in the offensive time, the referee had not yet blown the foul, the power forward who had never practiced outside three-point shooting at all, smashed the ball to the basket in a hurry, which of course was a three-stick bread ball.
"Hey, boy, do you see the outcome of your fight against me? You're killing yourself, believe me, if I never play with the ball again, because you're squandering the team's chance! ”
My neighbor Totoro, who crushed the opponent again, still didn't give up mentally destroying Brandon with trash talk, and the loss of one defense and one attack didn't make him mentally collapse, but this constant listening to the other party's ridicule made Brandon a little unbearable.
However, he ended in a crushing defeat in both rounds, and he had to hold back in his heart if he was not angry, which made the black players who were born with a straight mood even more congested.
Off the court, the head coach of the Clippers, Dunleavy Sr., was gesturing constantly, and the red-nosed old man was also very unhappy with the arrogant Chinese rookie, so even though this was the summer league, Dunleavy Sr. still practiced some wrap-and-clamp tactics for these temporary players for 3 or 4 days, wanting to make today's Totoro look good.
In the first round, he was ready to let Brandon, who had high self-confidence before the game, test the water, and it would be best if he could defend the opponent alone, so that he could save himself a lot of effort, but who would have expected that this guy was a silver gun candle head, and there were signs of being knocked down by Totoro in less than a minute at the beginning, which was a little angry.
The players found by the Development League are really rubbish, and none of them can play.........
The other players saw their coach's gestures, and they sneaked around from the side to prepare to wrap Totoro, which was originally a very successful tactic, Totoro did not have the audience's God perspective, so he naturally did not notice the movement of the opponent's formation, if Brandon can entangle himself for a second, Totoro will definitely fall into a dilemma, this is a successful defense.
However, Brandon, who is the most important first line of defense, has exploded a little bit, and his head is a little unconscious......
My Neighbor Totoro ran outside the three-point line and habitually closed the ball and made a shooting action, originally he thought that this kind of fake action should not be fooled by the opponent, and he was ready to subconsciously distribute the ball to Dante, who was ambushed near the baseline. Green, but what I never expected was that Brandon's ball actually jumped on the spot.
In the face of the big gift from the other party, how could Totoro not accept it?
Leaning forward and rubbing against the big black brother, Totoro immediately jumped and threw the basketball in his hand.
"Toot!"
"Bang dang!"
The referee blew the whistle in his mouth without saying a word, and Totoro's three-point shot also popped out of the frame, and his 3+1 dream did not come true.
After landing on the ground, Totoro slapped his palm fiercely.
Although he was fouled on this shot, he was honestly not disturbed much, and it was an open three-point shot.
But because he was touched by others, Totoro felt that his original smooth feel was interrupted, and he felt that something was wrong when he shot.
My Neighbor Totoro shook his head and sighed, he knew what the reason why he couldn't shoot if he was disturbed, although the shooting attributes of his body were full value, but this was not his own practice after all!
The muscle memory and awareness that the top shooters rely on thousands of times, and tens of thousands of shooting exercises can allow them to make adjustments based on experience when they are disturbed, but Totoro can't do it, and he will not be inferior to anyone in terms of the ability to shoot in the open position, but as long as people touch him, his shooting percentage will plummet compared to those elementary school students.
This is definitely not good, now in the summer league he can still rely on his physical advantage and rely on the ball quotient to play basketball, but when it comes to the official game of the NBA, his little tricks are useless, at least the effect will be greatly discounted.
If you want to run into the opponent to play some targeted tactics, or if you run into Iguodala, a star in the SF position like James, Totoro will definitely die a miserable death.
Therefore, the most urgent thing for him now is to improve his ability to control this body, and completely turn those shooting, dribbling muscle memory and ball sense into his own, only at that time, can he be regarded as a real and complete crossing success! He's still only 60 percent of the game.........
