Chapter 68: The Important Role of Brewer

The little fat man Delon has played in the No. 1 position for many years, and passing has always been one of his basketball creeds, and he can't refuse it in public or private.

As a purebred point guard produced in the United States, DeLong's basketball philosophy is undoubtedly in line with the mainstream view of American basketball.

Even though he was hot in the first quarter, he still obeyed the orders of veteran coach Sloan and began to create offensive opportunities for his teammates.

I have to say that this year's little fat man has definitely improved a lot compared to last year, since last year's defeat of Chris Paul in the All-Star Skills Competition, the little fat man Delon has regained his confidence, this season is like a rebirth, the concentration on the court has increased a lot, the level of passing has improved a lot, and you can see a lot of Jason Kidd's shadow.

Once the little fat man Deron gets serious, it is not a good thing, and Li Shihao obviously found that the Timberwolves' game was obviously not easy at the beginning.

If the little fat man Delong is a purebred point guard, then Li Shihao is a monk in the wild, he has not received complete and detailed basketball teaching since he was a child, and the knowledge on the court is made by sweat and one step.

People who have never eaten radish will not understand that the enthusiasm for basketball, even in the cold winter wax moon, also burns the soul.

Li Shihao played as a point guard in high school, and when he was in college, he transformed into a point guard because of physical fitness and other reasons, because he is different from those players who have been immersed in the No. 1 position for many years since childhood, Li Shihao plays more by his own ball quotient, he knows how to judge, he will look for where is the best time on the court!

After the start of the second quarter, Li Shihao clearly noticed that Deron Williams began to gradually release the ball, began to feed the ball to his teammates, and created opportunities for his teammates.

Little Fat Delon's passing skills are still very good, and his ability to connect teams is not weaker than some of the top point guards in the league.

DeLong's style of play is steady and unpretentious, without too many fancy moves, he always knows his first task on the court, and he always has a good grasp of when to score and when to string up the team.

His excellent big-picture vision and good judgment of the situation make his passing more threatening, and no one wants to see an opponent's pass easily tear apart their team's hard-built defence.

As soon as the second quarter began, Boozer couldn't wait to make a gesture and start asking for the ball.

Naturally he couldn't pretend to be ignorant, and glanced at his teammates' positions on the court, and it seemed that there was no good chance, he sighed in his heart, and stuffed the ball under the basket and passed it to Boozer's hands.

After Boozer received the basketball, the offensive desire in his heart could no longer be contained, and after a whole quarter of the game, he opened his hands and held the ball high with his right arm, ready to solve the battle with a strong slam dunk.

But he didn't want a black shadow to flash behind him, Boozer only felt a strong force coming from behind him, and the basketball in his right hand suddenly hit a strong force, only to hear a heavy sound.

"Bang-"

The basketball was slammed against the rebound by a large hand, and the aftermath was heard through the loudspeakers on the hoop in the Energy Solutions arena.

"Wooooooow, unbelievable! A pegboard hat from the Timberwolves' Mark Gasol was clean, and the Jazz's offense was interrupted. The commentator on the field sighed and shook his head, which seemed extremely regrettable.

The rebound was taken off by Gasol Jr., and a long throw was passed to Li Shihao, Li Shihao glanced at the position of his teammates around him, Brewer on the side immediately understood, and immediately pulled it out to make a cover, Li Shihao broke through to the left side, and Deron Williams immediately stopped in front of Li Shihao, blocking Li Shihao's breakthrough route.

Little Fat DeLong's defensive ability is very good in the No. 1 position, his idol is Jason Kidd, and he is so obsessed that even the style of play is very similar to Jason Kidd.

Jason Kidd belongs to the kind of point guard who is good for his teammates, but maybe not as great when it comes to stats.

In fact, if you compare the court footage of Deron Williams and Jason Kidd, you can see that both of them are the kind of point guards who don't shoot well, but their passing skills are not inferior to those top point guards, they just transfer their talent on the offensive end to the defensive end.

This is also one of the reasons why many basketball experts in the league are not optimistic about the little fat Delong.

Although there is a saying in the league since ancient times, offense wins and defense brings championships! However, you can't deny that offense is much better than defense, both in terms of spectacle and recognition.

Li Shihao tried it and found that the little fat man defended very well, firmly blocking his breakthrough, not giving a chance to break through easily, not only that, but the "AK47" produced in Russia on the flank was still eyeing it from the side, this Russian youth named Andrei Kirilenko's defensive ability is well-known in the league, and no one can underestimate the amazing energy of this thin young man who broke out on the defensive end.

Li Shihao gave Brewer a look, the latter took advantage of the momentum and ran out, Li Shihao immediately passed the ball, Brewer did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and threw the basketball to the high place of the basket.

"Bang-"

A loud bang came, Kevin Love slammed a slam dunk on the basket, and the powerless moans of steel spread across the court, a perfect air relay.

The little fat man Deron glanced at Kevin Love and Brewer in surprise, he didn't expect that the two young players of the Timberwolves still have such a tacit cooperation.

Especially Brewer, it is hard to imagine that Brewer seems to have changed this season, and he can actually wear some exquisite passes, which shows how much he has changed!

In fact, after Li Shihao came to the Timberwolves, it was not Kevin Love who was most affected, but Cory Brewer, who has been unknown on the defensive end.

This silent and introverted player is very familiar with Li Shihao's classic passing movements after a long time of cooperation with Li Shihao.

Brewer now occupies an important position in the Timberwolves' roster layout, and he is often responsible for defending the opposing team's best perimeter players in games, and Brewer's physical attributes are extremely good, whether it is strength, speed, or reflexes, he is not weaker than those excellent swingmen in the league.

Moreover, Brewer also has a lot of playing experience, and in the young Timberwolves, his game experience is deep, because in the game, he can often judge the opponent's next move, respond accordingly in advance, and even cause steals.

It is precisely because of the existence of Brewer that Li Shihao can play so comfortably on the outside, as the Timberwolves' record gradually improves, more and more teams and media experts are studying the tactical coordination of the Timberwolves' outside combination, they all want to understand the mystery, and even find out how to target.
