The team's adjustment did not happen overnight, and the change of style also took time to settle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared with the Magic and the Hornets, they obviously cooperate more closely with each other, and their offensive fluency is much higher.

Li Dong sat on the sidelines, watching with great interest as the two sides played back and forth on this field, and the physical confrontation and technical and tactical level of the players were obviously higher than those in college.

Breaking away isn't the main theme of the game, more often than not, it's the jump shot that finishes the offense.

Except for one person!

Li Dong's eyes were fixed on the basketball player wearing the No. 15 jersey - Kemba Walker, his dry round short hair, white jersey accessories, running all over the court, it was difficult to keep up with the players on the ground.

This kind of breakthrough of sitting on the sidelines and watching the NBA's first-class speed point guard is really amazing, Payton's defense is stretched, and there are many out-of-positions in a short period of time, resulting in the collapse of the Magic's overall defensive line.

"呲~"

Walker's sneakers slid a sharp friction sound on the floor, and then another sharp forward change of direction shook off the waiting Payton.

He's commenting here at ease, and Coach Skiles is frowning like an earthworm.

Of course, Skiles didn't want to lose the game, even if it was just an insignificant preseason game, he glanced at the bench, and when he saw Li Dong's eyes shining, he suddenly had an idea.

Then, the official timeout arrived, just after the halfway point of the game, and the Hornets led by three points at 14-11.

The Magic team walked off the field, Doug Skiles rallied the crowd with the tactics board in one hand and the other hand, and his deep voice rang out.

"Elfried (Payton), Tobias (Harris) and Channing (Fry) you three are going to get off the court and you are ready to play, Lee, Dwayne (Marble) and Aaron (Gordon) are ready to play. We still use Victor (Oladipo) as the attacking arrow, mainly through the zipper attack to create opportunities for Victor to open the flanks or cut into the air. ”

Zipper offense is the first tactical term Li Dong learned after entering the alliance.

Actually, it's just a unique term for cover tactics, which were first used back in the '60s with the old Celtics. Oladipo, who is the core of the attack, is covered by a wide inside line without the ball, or goes directly from the area near the baseline to the outside pocket to around 45 degrees, or runs backwards from the inside to receive the ball near the horn area.

The zipper offense that head coach Skiles said was a set of offenses that the Magic practiced alone during the training camp, in addition to a simple off-ball cover run, it also involved the individual singles of the ball carrier at the top of the arc, as well as some blocking and pick-and-roll offenses. Therefore, the offensive strength under the whole set of tactics is actually in addition to Oladipo as SG, as well as Payton as PG.

These thoughts only flashed in Li Dong's mind, and it was about time for him to play.

"Come on, rookie." Frye rubbed his big hand on Li Dong's head and whispered encouragement to him.

Li Dong smiled faintly, "Don't worry! ”

The DJ at the scene saw that there was a newcomer on the stage, and he was slightly refreshed, and then he took the information in his hand and introduced Li Dong to the audience through the loudspeaker.

SG, Lee from the University of Kansas...... Winter! ”

The Hornets audience was still very loving, and there was some applause on the ground, including a few yellow-skinned fans, wearing Li Dong's No. 1 jersey, cheering for Li Dong loudly.

The camera switched to Li Dong's face, and he was very calm.

On the Hornets' side, Kemba Walker was a little interested in seeing this year's No. 5 pick play.

Nicholas Batum seemed to see Kemba Walker's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, Kemba?" Do you want to teach this year's newcomers a lesson? There were a lot of old guys who taught you this way back then! ”

Walker made no denials, "Why not? ”

The referee held the ball back to the Magic team who had the ball before, and Oladipo immediately ran to the sideline to serve very professionally, and just as he was about to serve, he heard the referee's gesture to stop.

"Wait!" The referee yelled.

Oladipo was taken aback, looked left and right, and was terrified: "What's wrong?" ”

Li Dong was also taken aback, thinking to himself how the referee was shocked. What he didn't expect was that after the referee suspended the serve, he rushed to him with an unhappy face.

Li Dong was worried, and he didn't know how he offended these true gods in the NBA.

"Young man, please tuck your upper body into your big pants, it's an NBA rule." As soon as the referee saw that Li Dong had not moved, he knew that he was going to meet a rookie again.

Li Dong was embarrassed, of course he knew that the NBA had this rule, but as soon as he got on the court, he actually forgot about it. Now I was busy stuffing my clothes.

There was immediately a lot of laughter in the arena, and the players on the Magic bench and the Hornets bench leaned back and forth with laughter, and even the two serious coaches couldn't help but smile, making Li Dong's face on the court slightly red.

The referee then re-played the ball to Oladipo.

Li Dong received the ball and officially started his NBA career!

It is said that he plays on the wing, but when Dwyane Mable is on the court with him, the organization is still handed over to Li Dong or Oladipo, and Dwyane Mable is still a swingman who focuses on shooting.

Appearing in Li Dong's defensive position is a black player who is about the same height as Li Dong.

The coaching level of NBA coaches has been shown at this beginning, they will not easily believe scouting reports or official statistics, they would rather trust their own judgment, such as Li Dong is only 1.93 meters of nonsense, Clifford will not believe it, and directly use Jeremy Lamb, a swingman who was just traded this summer, to defend Li Dong.

Lamb has a balanced offense and defense, and if he can defend Li Dong with low confidence, it would be the best! Clifford thought with some malice.

For Lamb, he was eager to establish himself at his new club, and it would be great if he could please the new manager, so as soon as he came up, he exerted intense physical pressure and chattered endlessly.

"Welcome to the NBA, rookie."

"I heard that you are a role model, why are you so thin, I can push you down with one hand."

As a result, Li Dong honestly followed the tactical arrangement and passed it to Oladipo, who came out of his pocket.

After seeing this, Lamb became even more arrogant: "Hey, stinky ladybug, dare to hold the ball and rush me, don't you want to perform well in front of your coach, or are you afraid of me and dare not come?" ”

Li Dong didn't expect to meet the legendary trash talker as soon as he entered the NBA, but he didn't meet such a talker when he was in college, and he almost didn't stop.

He frowned, silently saying in his heart, "If the heart is clear, the sky will not fall", he tried to ignore the fly buzzing in his ears.

Oladipo held the ball and got an open spot, but he didn't choose to shoot, and after a virtual tap of Batum, he dodged into the Hornets' interior line, and the Hornets inside Jefferson blocked him like a mountain.

Oladipo finished the offense with a toss, slammed into the neck of the basket, and the rebound was taken by Marvin Williams, who was in the main position.

"Stand out!" Oladipo roared and called Li Dong, who was stunned in place, back to his soul.

Li Dong came to his senses and retreated. He was a little distracted by Lamb's words just now, and this time he let the old fritter run in front of him.

"Fuck, your sister!" Li Dong scolded foul language, speechless to the NBA professional players who do everything.

After receiving the ball, Walker's advance speed was too fast, and when he saw that the Magic's positional defensive formation was not falling well, his eyes lit up, and he added more speed, which was really like a gust of wind.

Outside the three-point line, Li Dong turned his body to defend Walker, and Oladipo blocked Walker's pass to Lamb's route.

Walker was about to pass, but when he saw Li Dong coming to defend, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he retracted his willingness to pass.

The two got closer and closer, and Li Dong's small steps could no longer be adjusted, and he could no longer keep up with Walker's breakthrough.

The basketball was only half a meter away from Li Dong, and Li Dong's dilated pupils could even clearly see the orange lines spinning in Walker's palm.

Walker showed a playful smile on his face, it seemed that the right arm sent forward was pulled back, and then the left foot was the axis, the left hand was stuck in the waist of Li Dong, and the right foot naturally rotated counterclockwise on the ground, and the whole body was like a spinning top, and it was actually a chic completion of a turn in the process of rapid advance!

Li Dong didn't expect that Walker would be able to make such a technical move at such a fast speed, and he was cleaned up all of a sudden!

He turned around in embarrassment and saw that Dwayne Marble didn't dare to stop Walker, who was rushing like a calf, and watched Walker make a dashing layup.

Li Dong stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, his eyes narrowed slightly...... (To be continued.) )
