Chapter 172: Kidd's Suggestion
Chapter 172: Kidd's Suggestion
On the evening of February 17, the Timberwolves went to Detroit, Motor City, to face the Pistons away.
Without Chauncey Billups' tandem organization, the Motor City Corps' offensive ability was already low, and now it is even more of a mess, without an excellent guard organization, the current Pistons Corps has completely lost its former glory.
But the game was still not easy to play, perhaps as a result of not playing during the All-Star break, and the young lads of the Timberwolves suffered a cold touch in the palace of Auburn Hills.
As the leader of the team, Li Shihao's performance was good, in the All-Star Game, he got acquainted with the old demon Kidd through his matchmaking with Nowitzki, Jason Kidd did not have the previous rebelliousness, when he first saw Li Shihao, he smiled, without a trace of weirdness.
Jason Kidd is now also very concerned about the younger generations of the league, and he has no prejudice against Li Shihao, and he does not mean to discriminate against Asians, and he has given a lot of advice on how to organize the team's offense, which has benefited Li Shihao a lot.
Many people in the league adore Steve Nash, and the long-haired Wind Kid in Phoenix has made many Wind Chasers crazy about it.
Nash, a two-time regular season MVP, became the league's No. 1 point guard at that time, and his offensive skills on the offensive end had risen to the level of art, and watching him play at that time was a pleasure and a pleasure.
But by that time, Jason Kidd was old, slow, and his offensive ability was severely degraded. With frequent iron strikes in the game, Kidd is out of the league for the top point guards.
However, veteran fans know that Kidd's passing skills are no less than Steve Nash's, and if Nash's passing turns offense into art, then Jason Kidd's passing is ghostly. It's hard to guard against.
It's a blessing to be Jason Kidd's team-mate, and you always get the most comfortable pass at the right time.
This evaluation is what many players who have been Jason Kidd's teammates have said, and there are definitely not a few point guards in the league who have received such an evaluation, but there are not many players who have really done this to the extreme!
Players who can really do this are already on the path of legend!
Li Shihao only transformed into a point guard in his freshman year, and because of his height and physical fitness, he transformed into a position that he was extremely unfamiliar with.
The No. 1 position, which is the first task of organizing the offense, obviously contains too much knowledge, and the point guard is the brain on the court. Controls all the offensive and defensive changes of the five people on the field.
Li Shihao has been able to step by step from the path of point guard, in which he has learned the playing style of many stars, but there are not many who have really gained practical and reliable experience exchange.
When he was in Phoenix, Steve Nash had some exchanges with Li Shihao and taught him a lot of experience and know-how in the No. 1 position, which improved Li Shihao's passing skills a lot.
Although his friend Deron Deron's passing skills are not outstanding among the league's top point guards, his practical and lethal passing has given Li Shihao a lot of inspiration. This made Li Shihao's fancy and gorgeous passes in the subsequent games a lot less. It's straightforward, concise, and lethal.
Improving your skills doesn't happen overnight. There are many talented people, but there are few people who can achieve something in the end.
Li Shihao is fortunate to have adapted to the brutal and fierce basketball environment in the United States, where there are many talented and talented people, and there are too many strong opponents.
Li Shihao persevered step by step with his own efforts. A lot of this is due to the opponents.
Just ask, if there is no strong enough opponent, how can it arouse people's forward psychology, and how can it make people want to become stronger!
Since the success of Yao Ming and others in the NBA, there has been a general view in China. The NBA is a world basketball arena where competition is brutal, but it can also train people.
Just like Sun Yue, although he has been a mascot in the Lakers for several years, as Kobe's sparring partner, his strength has improved a lot, and after returning to China, many fans were surprised.
This view cannot be said to be entirely true, but there is some truth in it.
During this All-Star Weekend, Jason Kidd gave Lee a lot of advice, and many of the ideas in it were unnoticed by Lee Seho.
Jason Kidd and Steve Nash are two of the league's leading passers, and they have their own experience with passing at their peak, and while there are some points of convergence and differences.
Jason Kidd's advice to Li Shihao was quite to the point, which made Li Shihao feel a sense of transparency and enlightenment.
Jason Kidd believes that Li Shihao's passing vision is not wide enough, and the passing organization is sometimes too rigid, and such a pass is easy to be detected by the opponent, and it is very likely that he will be restricted, or even stealed.
The old demon Kidd told Lee Se-ho how he defended Lee Se-ho in the last match between the two teams, and Kidd pointed out a few small habits and common passing routes for Lee Se-ho in passing.
It is these details that are not noticed by ordinary people in the game that allow the old demon Kidd to easily grasp Li Shihao's weakness in the game, so that he can press the ground and beat him hard.
To put it bluntly, the old demon Kidd still dislikes Li Shihao's passing skills, and Kidd believes that there are very few point guards in the league who have gotten rid of craftsmanship, but there are still them.
Queen Bee Chris Paul is one, the past few years was his peak, and he has really reached the point where no one can limit him, but this year due to injuries, the state is not as terrifying as the peak, and I don't know if he can maintain the peak level after recovering from the injury.
Needless to say, "Son of the Wind" Nash, a point guard at the level of a master passer, has always been regarded as one of the best opponents by Jason Kidd.
And the Bulls' young point guard Derrick Rose is also regarded as this type of player by the old demon Kidd, Kidd's words are very serious, he said that Derrick Rose is one of the best young people he has ever seen, he is very talented in passing, and has a lot of spiritual passing, but he still needs to experience if he wants to rise to the level of a passing master.
Moreover, Derrick Rose now seems to be focused on his offensive skills, focusing more on breakthroughs and jumpers, and less on passing than on the first two.
This made the old demon Kidd sigh, and there are fewer and fewer traditional point guards in the league, and it seems that just like the traditional center, it is gradually decreasing from the league.
Maybe in the future, the point guard will also usher in a reform like the traditional center!
Aside from Jason Kidd's feelings, Li Shihao put the insights he got into practice in the Motor City.
Throughout the first half, the Timberwolves players felt cold, and the gap behind the score even reached 20 points at one point, but Li Shihao was very patient and slowly used his own organization and passing to sort out the team's offensive feel.
Jason Kidd's experience has worked, Kidd himself is a player who often has a cold hand, and he has the most say in how to develop an offensive touch with passing.
In the end, Li Shihao scored 20 points and 11 assists to lead the Timberwolves to retreat from Detroit and win a narrow victory with a 103-98 advantage. (To be continued.) )
