Chapter 83: The Definition of the Point Guard

The point guard, with the main purpose of passing, can pass the ball to teammates in the open position, so that teammates can form direct or indirect offensive opportunities, which is the most basic definition of point guard.

With the change of the basketball era, the NBA has appeared such as Westbrook and Rose offensive point guards who rely on their individual scoring ability to drive the team, especially Westbrook, whose strong individual ability directly makes people forget the definition of a traditional point guard.

This is also a benchmark unconsciously formed by Tang Shuai on the road of basketball growth, but whether it is Westbrook or Rose, they are all unique, and Tang Shuai's current strength, even in the summer league, is far from that level, so what Kassel wants him to do is to play like a traditional point guard.

Hearing Tang Shuai's answer, Cassel nodded with satisfaction, and then stretched out his hand to signal for a substitution and put Tang Shuai back on the field.

At this time, the score on the court was 15:4, and the Magic led by a full 11 points.

In the offensive round of the Clippers, Tang Shuai controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, reaching out and making a "3" gesture.

With this gesture of his hand, Eric Griffin glanced at Tang Shuai in surprise, but when he saw Tang Shuai wave at him to signal him to run, he realized that this was indeed a tactic with him as the offensive endpoint.

Moreira made an off-ball block on the right and Griffin managed to get away from the defender.

Tang Shuai had already broken through with the ball at this time, and Yuki Fujian broke through the package to activate, and he forced Payton to kill under the basket.

Payton didn't try to steal, and after Tang Shuai broke through, he had a chance to score, but he didn't choose to shoot, but threw his hand to Griffin, who had run out of the open space on the outside.

Griffin catches the ball and shoots it.

The ball spins back in the air at high speed, making a perfect arc.

"Huh!"

Eric hit a mid-range shot, a green skill pack, and Griffin hit a solid shot.

It was the most comfortable shot the Clippers have played since the opening game.

After Griffin threw the ball, although it was a simple open shot, he was indescribably comfortable in his heart, and even Moreira, who blocked the pick-and-roll, looked excited, as if he had scored the ball just now.

"Well done!" Tang Shuai retreated, took the initiative to run to Griffin's side, and reached out to high-five him.

Griffin was even more surprised, originally because of the matter of Fu Jian Yongshu, although he and Tang Shuai were in the same team, there was always an inexplicable estrangement, he didn't expect Tang Shuai to not only run tactics for him at this time, but also take the initiative to high-five him.

On the Magic's offensive round, Gordon was ready to take Moreira by force.

Gordon was confident that his power pack was enough to complete this series of offensive moves, and he was ready to shoot a rebound as soon as he turned around and got close to the basket with a crushing back-to-back play.

At this moment, Griffin suddenly turned around, and after hitting a ball in the previous round, he seemed to have confidence in his whole person, and slapped Gordon's shot in the face.

Eric slam dunk pack activated.

This time it was not on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, and Griffin, who jumped high, directly slapped the ball to the rebound.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound!

Pegboard Adventure!

Gordon looked incredulous, but in the next second, the ball had been picked up by Moreira and gave it to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai held the ball and accelerated and rushed forward.

The other members of the Magic team didn't seem to expect Gordon to be capped at all, until Tang Shuai broke through with the ball, they didn't come back to their senses, only Payton on the outside saw Tang Shuai speeding up and turned to chase after him.

Although the players of the Clippers were also half a beat slower to react, they saw that it was Tang Shuai who was holding the ball, and the instinct of training a few days ago made them bury their heads and rush forward.

Tang Shuai was guarding the ball at this time to prevent being stealed by Payton while pushing forward.

In the blink of an eye, he was in the backcourt of the Magic team, and entered the free throw line, he turned to look at his teammates who were following up on both sides, picked up the ball and began to step on three steps to make a layup.

Payton leaned on him, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he could see that even if he fouled this ball, he would not let Tang Shuai score easily.

Tang Shuai stepped on two steps, and suddenly his head didn't turn, and he threw the ball directly to the right.

Peyton, who was already about to foul, was stunned, but before he could react, he was pushed out of the bottom line by Tang Shuai.

The ball went straight to Hamilton on the right.

Hamilton's eyes were empty, he held the ball, stared forward with his right foot, and the whole person instantly soared into the air.

He grabbed the ball with both hands, and the whole person fell straight down like a meteorite.

"Bang!"

Hamilton slams a dunk with both hands!

The basket shook for a while!

For the first time after the opening, the Clippers played a counterattack, and it was also a violent slam dunk!

Hamilton dunked in and shook it the basket, only then did it land, and after landing, he beat his chest excitedly, venting his frustration at being flipped by Gordon before.

In the next round, the Clippers took advantage of Payton's breakaway pass to Hezonia, who hit a mid-range.

But unlike before, the Clippers are no longer in such a hurry as before, and they seem to have finally found the tacit sense of understanding in training after scoring consecutive goals.

In the next offensive round, after a few reverses, Tang Shuai ran out of the point guard, and Hamilton, who had just dunked vigorously, passed the ball over as soon as possible, and on the outside, Wilcox blocked Payton to death.

Tang Shuai glanced at the basket and shook his hand to make a three-point shot.

Novak three-pack activation, vacancy, ninety percent hit.

The ball flew straight towards the net bag.

"Huh!"

Tang Shuai hit the Clippers' first three-pointer, which was also the first goal of his NBA career, without too complicated tactics and not too strong individual ability, this first shot came so simply, but so naturally.

Seeing this scene, Cassell, who was on the sidelines, showed a satisfied look on his lips, in the previous training, he knew that Tang Shuai had a high ball quotient different from other players, and he was too eager to win on the field before, and inadvertently ignored his teammates, but fortunately, it was a little clear, and now it was like this, which drove his teammates and brought up his own offensive rhythm, such Tang Shuai is what he wants to see.

At the beginning, Dave Wall repeatedly asked the team to trade for draft picks to select Tang Shuai, but he was very opposed to it like Reeves, especially since Tang Shuai is 21 years old and only 1.85 meters tall, such a talent is not worth the first round at all, and it is said that he was selected with the fifteenth pick.

But since the first contact with Tang Shuai, seeing Tang Shuai work as hard as other undrafted rookies, or even harder, his opinion has changed a little, and then Tang Shuai's ball quotient in training, as well as excellent three-point shooting ability, made this change more obvious, until now, he finally agreed with Tang Shuai, at least, compared with the "Brazilian Durant" Bruno Capocollo selected by the Raptors with the 20th pick last year, the Clippers' choice will not be worse.

At this moment, Tang Shuai assisted Moreira again on the field to complete 2 plus 1, Moreira excitedly and Tang Shuai came to a chest collision, the center from Angola, driven by Tang Shuai, although he was still at a disadvantage in the opposite position with Gordon, but he gradually regained his confidence.
