Chapter Seventy-Seven: Don't Replace Me

Zhang Zhu thinks that the chaotic war is not appropriate, and now the chaos is chaotic, but it is just that his own side is chaotic, and the supersonic speed still maintains a steady attack and defense, and the result is to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He felt that it was better to fight simply than to fight to the death.

Since the supersonic can't do much about themselves, isn't it over beating him to death?

No matter what, it's much better than letting Van Exel go to Peyton, these two are not at all a level match, the former is at most an All-Star when he is crazy, and he is a quasi-All-Star in normal times, while Payton is a real superstar guard, and people just tend to be underestimated on defense.

After the game restarted, Payton ran over again and disgusted Zhang Mao.

"Boy, the first regular season game in your career was a big defeat, how do you feel?!"

"It's miserable!" Zhang Mao's words first made Payton feel different, and then he saw the bastard laugh and said: "The first game loss is already so uncomfortable, when I think of your experience of being the first black eight in NBA history, I feel sorry for you, you are too miserable!" ”

"Bastard, can we not mention this?"

"Then you're still making fun of me."

Payton was defeated again, and for the first time he saw someone like Zhang Yu grabbing a sore foot and not letting go, he didn't have the bearing of a master at all.

The SuperSonics switched to 215-pound Vincent Eschu to defend Zhang, a typical athletic swingman who plays all on physical fitness, and likes to use a lose-lose approach to match the opponent's strong points.

When this type of player is at the peak of his physical fitness, it is more effective against those stars who also rely on their body to play, and can play the role of an inferior horse against an excellent horse. But when you encounter a technical stream, you usually die miserably, and once your physical fitness declines, it is useless, such as 29-year-old Vincent, who is a blue-collar worker who has lost his role.

In the NBA, a player's offensive ability depends on talent, and without talent, he can become a functional player at most by hard work.

But on the defensive end, it's different, as long as you have good physical talent and hard work, you can be a defensive knife.

Because defense depends on innate awareness and body, how many tapes you watch off the court determines how much defensive skills you have, and this is an area where you can make up for your talent with hard work.

However, the most in the NBA is not those hard-working players who study videos all day, Vincent is purely physical, training every day seems to clock in and out, not watching videos or practicing after work, and taking nightclubs at night, at most more than eighty percent of players who break out in contract years.

Most of them rely on physical talent to support their athletic careers, and they don't have the heart to study the game footage at all, and the training is just a punch-card to complete the task, and there is no restraint in their off-field life.

Don't expect them to stay in shape through scientific eating habits and hard training, so a large number of physically gifted players lose the ability to play in the NBA after the age of 28, while those players with excellent professionalism can play until the age of nearly 40, and their professional life is almost doubled.

Zhang Wei found that it was much easier for him to break through this Vincent than it was to fight Schramf before, although the German could not keep up with him due to age restrictions, but he had a positive attitude, and he would never be passed by watching the play in the back, and every time he would be caught in a situation of attacking back and forth, which forced him to pass the ball to his teammates.

But as soon as this Vincent was passed, he didn't seem to know where to stand, his enthusiasm to chase back was lacking, and Zhang Mao only needed to deal with the camp who assisted the defense after completing the breakthrough.

Kemp's brain is like that, he doesn't know that he can force Zhang Qi to not dare to force himself in the first half, a large part of it is Schramf's insistence on chasing defense, he has always felt that it is his deterrent power that makes Zhang Qi dare not be presumptuous under the basket, and he will not think about the efforts of the Germans, and he is not willing to think about it.

With no Germans behind him this time, Zhang was ready to try to single out this guy who was dubbed the NBA's number one beast by the media.

Of course, Chop will not be afraid, as the only active interior player in the NBA who can jump from the free throw line and slam dunk, he is not afraid of any head-to-head with the outside, and he is confident to win against Jordan, let alone this little guy.

The two jumped up almost at the same time, Zhang Qi collected the ball in the air to use his ability to stay in the air to get through the opponent, and then came to a drifting big pull-up layup to score the ball.

Camp was experienced and immediately guessed what he was going to do.

The two began to fight in the air to see who had a longer pause, and as a result, Zhang found himself falling, but still couldn't get past his opponent's defense.

Kemp's ability to stay in the air is really at the outside level, although he started to fall a little earlier than himself, but this little gap can be made up for by his height.

Zhang Qi saw that he couldn't use his air to dodge the defense, so he could only distribute the ball before he made a mistake on the ground.

He's seen Finley open in the air outside the three-point line, and that's what he does to keep the Lakers' top brass firmly at his core, and he can always spot the opening of his outside teammates in the crowd.

Finley took the ball and shot quickly, and the shortened three-point line gave him the ability to shoot open three-pointers as soon as he entered the NBA, but the shot failed to hit under high pressure.

"Not good!" Kemp found that his reaction was a beat slower, and Zhang Qi immediately grabbed the position after he landed, but he habitually took a look at where the basketball went, and in the blink of an eye, the favorable position to grab the rebound was stuck by Zhang Qiu.

"Rebounding starts before you shoot." This is Zhang Fu's own experience.

Every player has different shooting habits, and these different habits affect the distribution of basketball landing points, and he will predict the position of the basketball before his teammates shoot, based on who is shooting and where.

Zhang is very familiar with the shooting habits of his teammates, he knows where the rebounds that these teammates can't shoot usually fall, although it is impossible to guess 100% correctly, but this can give him a greater chance of getting close to the basketball landing point when he grabs the position, and his reaction will be faster, this time he guessed correctly.

Kemp was stuck behind Zhang Fu and found that he couldn't squeeze Zhang Qiu at all, and this ball could only be seen if his teammates could grab it.

Sam Perkins' bounce ability has long since disappeared, and his position is not dominant, and before he can jump to the highest point, he sees Zhang Yu snatching the rebound from his head, and the suspense is not there at all.

"I can't shoot after I fall, there are defenders around me, and this ball has to be thrown directly so that it won't be blocked!"

Zhang Fu's thinking was very clear, and after getting this rebound, he directly made up the basket in the air, and the basketball board fell back to the net.

The Lakers fans applauded him, and he attracted all the SuperSonics defense in this ball, and grabbed rebounds and rebounds on two SuperSonics interior headers, scoring two points and still second, which was an immeasurable morale boost, which was the clarion call for a counterattack.

The players on the Lakers court are all young players, and these players can play smoothly as long as they have a backbone. Now they just have to do what they do best, and in this case, they all know how to play.

The superSonics' bench lineup is mediocre, which is also the price of having a set of top starters. Except for teams like the Bulls and Rockets, where everyone is vying for a thigh, the SuperSonics, who are always a little away from the championship, are not a good place to hug their thighs, and it is already rare for them to put together a strong set of starters.

Rotation time is the Lakers' only chance, and defensively they must also hand in a good answer, and how to defend Kemp at the No. 4 position has become the key.

He still plays against the SuperSonics' No. 3 on the offensive end, but on the defensive end he has to defend Kemp.

The referee saw that the two guys were entangled together as soon as they passed the midfield, and their hands were not very clean, and Zhang Qiu obviously wanted to use this kind of close-fitting defense to stop Camp from receiving the ball.

At the level of the four centers, there will be a lot of off-ball screen tactics used to get rid of players who follow the defense to get basketball, but Kemp has always been used as a blue-collar player, he has never been the first choice for supersonic offense, and there are not many such screen tactics.

To be honest, Kemp's back turn is very fast, he has a mid-range shot, he can occasionally pull it out, and his ability to catch the ball directly in the face frame is also very strong.

But the problem is that he has a very poor sense of position, and after playing for so many years, Kemp still has a little confusion about when to help his teammates pull, when to take the initiative to catch the ball and attack, in short, what to do at what time, he has never figured out.

This belongs to the category of not being smart enough, and in layman's terms, it means that the position is not good enough, the offensive awareness is a little worse, and the ball quotient is not high enough.

This has had a direct impact on his position, with Kemp having a hard time getting smart defenders behind him, preferring to take a direct kill in front of the basket.

Zhang Zhu gave full play to his nimble footwork, and he made Kemp feel very uncomfortable, the feeling of having the strength but always being separated from the ball.

In this attack, Kemp spun in two low posts in a row, but he didn't find a chance to catch the ball until the last six seconds of the attack.

Zhang Qian showed his excellent basketball IQ at this time, he could have kept pestering Kemp to prevent him from receiving the ball, but when he didn't have much offensive time, he deliberately let Kemp receive the basketball in the left rib, but this position is not the offensive area he is good at.

Camp received the ball, but now he was faced with an awkward choice: did he attack or pass?

If he breaks through the frame here, he is a small forward who defends him, and although he has the ability to break through the frame, he is still easy to be pulled out of the ball. But if you shoot on the spot, facing the opponent in this position, the shooting rate is still not high, and the probability of missing the shot is much greater than the hit.

Kemp finally received the basketball but hesitated for two seconds, and the Lakers' defense immediately moved closer to this side, at which time he was easily stealed by passing the ball, and now he has to hit it hard if he doesn't want to play.

Zhang Yu saw that the other party made a shooting feint, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and directly stepped forward to block the route to break through to the bottom line, and continued to force him to go out.

Kemp was disgusted and could only dribble the ball out to avoid Zhang Qiu's grab.

As a result, this time he was farther away from the basket, and after this step, he was not good at making follow-up moves, and he could only take the ball out of the way.

"This ball has to go into my live broadcast to eat!" Zhang Qi sealed Kemp's eyes, the position of this shot is close to the left wing three-point line, or a backward shot that drifts backwards, if this ball can be thrown, how dark will his face be?

Bison got the basketball straight under the basket, and Kemp shot a normal three-no-dip.

Such a difficult ball, if Jordan is replaced to shoot, it is also mostly iron, and if Kemp is a brutalist insider, then he would have been the number one forward in the active service.

After Zhang Yu blocked, he didn't grab the rebound at all, and ran directly to the frontcourt!

He knew that this ball would not be able to be shot, as long as he grabbed the rebound, it would be a great opportunity for a fast break.

If the supersonic gets the rebound, it can only be blamed on bad luck.

The supersonic players didn't expect Zhang Qi to be so decisive, only McMillan chased after him desperately.

The supersonic gentleman has had bad luck this year, and he deserves to go to McTown this season.

Originally, he wanted to interfere with the ball before Zhang Yu completed the layup, but he ran too fast, and instead of reaching the basketball, he lost his balance and fell to the floor with a "plop".

Zhang Qi didn't care about the opponent, this time he didn't even have physical contact with the opponent, so when he saw that the opposite side suddenly hit the street, he was also a little confused, and finally only used a layup to complete the score.

Looking back after the goal, the "Mr. Supersonic" was clutching his calf and wailing.

"It's miserable, it's definitely not pretending."

Zhang Qian knows very well that this kind of injury without contact is generally not light, either hurting tendons or moving bones.

George Carr hurriedly replaced Jose Hawkins, who had just said that he was strong at back, only to be beaten by his grandmother in the blink of an eye, and it was not a good sign that such an injury would occur in the first game of the new season.

Zhang Yu took the opportunity to come to the sidelines to drink two sips of energy drinks, and then tactfully told Harris that if the point difference can be narrowed all the time, then don't replace him.

He knew the team loved him, but it was the first regular season game of his career, the first game of the season, and he had enough energy to play the next ten minutes.

Harris hesitated for a moment, but agreed to the request.

Zhang Mao's physical strength is indeed enough to play the next game, and if he can really lead the team to complete the comeback, it will not be a problem for him to play a 40-minute game once in a while.

In this way, Zhang Wei has turned his personal data into 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and the difference has been narrowed to 15 points.

After the supersonic passive substitution, it began to really wrap up the Zhang Qi point.

Once the Seattle people's defense plays hard, it mainly relies on crazy packs against ball carriers, but the weakness of this defense is that the rebounding protection in the three-second zone is very poor, and when the opponent has a number of players with a strong sense of rushing to grab rebounds, they will be robbed of a lot of rebounds.

At the beginning, they were black-eight by the Nuggets, and at the other time, they were cut off by the Bulls in the Finals, and too many frontcourt rebounds were taken away by opponents.

Zhang Zhu's frontcourt rebound just now is also a reflection of the supersonic team's poor backcourt rebounding protection, which is their second shortcoming from the real championship team, as long as the problem of defense and rebounding in the third position is solved, then they really have the strength to win the championship.

But before the words fell, Bison grabbed another frontcourt rebound under the basket.

Zhang Qi received a pass on the outside, raised his hand to dodge Vincent with a feint, and went directly to the restricted area to meet Camp and jumped up for a layup.

"Toot!" The referee made a foul on the thug, and Kemp's old mistake was repeated.

Later, when many fans evaluated Kemp, they would question his offensive level on the grounds that he only averaged more than 20 points per game in one season. While this is related to his lack of offensive awareness and lack of consistency due to lack of active training, there is also an important factor in the fact that he has committed too many fouls, otherwise he would have averaged at least one or two more points per game, and then his place in history would have been different.

There isn't much to fault with Kemp's defense, the only drawback is that there are too many fouls, and then the Thunder's Ibaka is obviously a low-profile version of Kemp.

Zhang Zhu's hand is very cunning, he just had the opportunity to shoot on the outside, but he was stunned to make a foul on Kemp, and he completed the task, his ability to read the situation on the court is indeed beyond the ability of ordinary players.

In both free throws, Zhang Qi has scored 6 points in a row, and the score has come to 72:59, this time it is the turn of the SuperSonics to score for half a day, and it is still a rotation lineup against the Lakers.

"Bag clip, give me a firm bag of him! Be more resolute! ”

George Karl is in a hurry, if he is defeated by a high school student today, will they still need to challenge the Rockets, Jazz and Spurs?
