Chapter 389: Gambling-style steals

Gambling tackles, as the name suggests, are gambling at the cost of losing a defensive position when an offensive player dribbles or passes.

If the steal is successful, the ball can be quickly converted and a fast break can be formed immediately. However, if the steal fails, it will lose its defensive position, and even cause the offensive player to be unguarded, and the offensive player's probability of scoring will be greatly increased.

Because the point guards in the NBA are all masters of ball control, with strong ball protection ability, the probability of being broken is not high, and if you can't grab the ball, you will leak people, so gambling steals are very criticized, and many coaches prohibit their players from stealing in this way!

But for Li Wei now, gambling steals really don't matter, because even if he doesn't lose his defensive position, he can't prevent people!

Since you can't prevent it, then just gamble it, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

As a genius selected with the eighth pick in the first round, Andre Miller's ability to protect the ball has nothing to say, Li Wei pounced like lightning, and he immediately leaned to the side to block the opponent!

But Li Wei didn't care about it, he jumped forward directly, and finally pounced on the ball!

Andre Miller wanted to grab it again, but Li Wei's hand hooked and hooked the ball to Jeff Hornacek not far away!

Hornacek received the ball and quickly went down and wanted to play a fast break!

Andre Miller saw that things were not good, and immediately ran back to his half of the court to defend, and at the same time, Li Wei on the ground also got up and rushed to the frontcourt!

In a flash of lightning, Andre Miller ran to his own basket to strangle Li Wei and Hornacek's fast-break line. Who would have thought that Li Wei would not go to the bottom of the basket at all, and ran to the bottom corner of the left side!

Hornacek saw that Li Wei went to the bottom corner, and Andre Miller was still under the basket, and immediately passed the ball!

After receiving the ball, Li Wei raised his hand and threw it!

Bang!

A three-point shot into the net!

24:41!

Fraser said: "David made a steal and then made a three-pointer!" ”

Mike Brin said: "Coach Li is just looking for three points, and the fast break is outside the three-point line!" ”

Fraser said: "Quasi, what can you do?" ”

Mike Brin said, "If you don't shoot, this rebound is gone!" ”

Fraser said: "Could it be that you still want Coach Lee to go to the basket to single out Andre Miller?" ”

Mike Brin was speechless for a moment.

Li Wei went to the basket to challenge Andre Miller, who was 1.88 meters, it was indeed very difficult, it was better to shoot a three-point shot!

The Cavaliers served, Andre Miller continued to advance, and Li Wei also wanted to gamble on a steal, but unfortunately it didn't work. Andre Miller took advantage of Li Wei's opportunity to grab the ball and lose position, easily came to a layup and scored the ball!

26:41!

Mike Brin said: "The Cavaliers are scoring again, it's a real head-to-head battle!" ”

Fraser said: "There's no way, David can't prevent people, and he can only attack!" ”

Mike Brin said: "We are actually ahead, I haven't seen such a good game in a few days!" ”

The Knicks served, and Cavaliers coach Randy Whitman yelled from the sidelines, allowing the team to switch defenses after encountering a pick-and-roll. Because Li Wei is so accurate that he shoots when he has a little space, he hopes that the team can contain it after changing defenses.

Li Wei still played with Nowitzki, and the Cavaliers' Danny Ferry switched defenses with Andre Miller!

Danny Ferry is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 104 kilograms, graduated from Duke University, and led the Blue Devils to the semi-finals three times in 86, 88 and 89, and he himself won the Most Valuable Player award in the Eastern Conference twice. He has accurate shooting, strong rebounding ability, and wide passing vision, and was the star of the draft that year, known as Larry Bird's successor.

However, it is well known that Larry Bird has no physical talent, does not run fast, does not jump high, and plays with all his intelligence. So the rookies usually wear a hat as Larry Bird's successor, and they basically fall away.

Danny Ferry is okay, not too watery, but he hasn't been a superstar either, and has been just a qualified rotation player for most of his career.

Now Danny Ferry is 32 years old, and he is not a player who is known for his speed, and when he is older, his reaction is not as good as when he was younger. Li Wei took advantage of the Cavaliers' two to change defenses, stuck to Danny Ferry's side, and directly rushed into the inside!

Bob Sulla, who was standing in the bottom corner to defend Hornacek, saw that Danny Ferry was broken through by Li Wei, and immediately came over to help defend, Li Wei saw the opponent pounced, smiled lightly, and with a flick of his wrist, the ball flew towards Hornacek!

It's too late for Sula to defend against Hornacek, so he can only watch the opponent shoot!

Old Hornacek is still very stable, and a three-pointer goes straight to the basket!

26:44!

In the next round, Big Ben successfully defended and took Andre Miller's layup down.

The Knicks offense continued to block and dismantle, and Danny Ferry did a good job after switching defenses this round, moving a pair of old legs to wrap around Li Wei, and there were some small movements in his hands.

Li Wei didn't have a chance, passed the ball to Nowitzki, Nowitzki missed the layup!

After another round, Li Wei made another gambling steal and snatched the ball from Andre Miller!

Fast attack, Rashad Lewis ran fast, and Li Wei threw the ball high!

After Lewis received the ball, he dunked it violently and completed the empty catch with Li Wei!

Seeing that Andre Miller had been cut off twice, Randy Whitman shook his head and replaced him with Braven Knight.

The Cavaliers' main point guard, Blevin Knight, has excellent organizational skills, but he has a flaw in his life, that is, he is short!

By ordinary standards, Blevin Knight is not short at all, and is even taller, he is 1.78 meters. But in the NBA, it's so short, and everyone is bullied!

It is precisely because of his short stature that the Cavaliers have selected another talented point guard, Andre Miller, on the basis of having a good master in the lotto.

In the second half of the previous season, Andre Miller successfully counterattacked and served as the starting point guard of the Cavaliers, and Breven Knight could only play off the bench. Later, Knight ran over multiple teams, and when the Bobcats were formed, he went to the Bobcats and finally became the main force again. He averaged 9 assists per game that season, beating Kidd, but unfortunately he didn't beat Nash and failed to win the assist title.

After Blevin Knight came on the court, Li Wei's pressure was greatly reduced. Now his actual height is 1.68 meters, and he can reach 1.7 meters after wearing shoes, which is only 8 centimeters different from Knight, who is 1.78 meters!

Although Knight is stronger, Li Wei can still barely defend it, after all, being 8 centimeters short is not too much of a loss, and waving his hand can still interfere with people's sight!

For Brevine Knight, it was the first time in his NBA career that he encountered such a dish on the offensive end. Although Li Wei can interfere with him, how can he be afraid of someone who is shorter than himself when he fights in this alliance all the year round?

As for the defensive end, Li Wei's speed is fast, and he can also run a few laps with it!

The two started a needle-to-needle battle against Maimang, they stole each other once, Knight prevented Li Wei from missing two shots, although Li Wei let Knight score a goal, but the other ball gave him a big hat!

Madison Square Garden fans screamed and applauded when they saw two point guards on the court facing each other!

Mike Brin said: "This is so much fun, I never thought two short point guards could be so fun on the court!" ”

Fraser said: "Although David looks like he's losing on the defensive end, looking at the scoreline, we're really not at a loss! ”

Mike Brin said: "The main thing is that Coach Lee and our bench lineup are relatively accurate, and it is easy to score goals when running out of the open space, and the Cavaliers' basket is obviously not as stable as ours!" ”

Fraser said: "We are more accurate on the one hand, and on the other hand, Coach Lee's role in the offensive end. He couldn't make three shots in a row, but he was still able to sort out the team's offense well! ”
