Chapter Forty-Eight: My Strengths and Weaknesses
"Duan, the first time you play, are you tired?" On the sidelines, Curry was adjusting the bandage on his ankle and said to Duan Tianqing beside him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Haha, Stephen, don't worry! You're all tired and I'm fine! Duan Tianqing patted his chest and said.
"That's good, I'm afraid you won't be used to it just now, after all, the intensity of the NBA confrontation is very high!" Curry said.
"Understood, thank you for your concern! Don't worry, I will fight hard, so that I can be worthy of everyone. Clay, in particular, gave me the chance to start in the second half! β
The starting lineup in the second half did not have Duan Tianqing, because he and Curry's positions overlapped, both were the No. 1 position, and Matt Jackson did not have the courage to use such a super small lineup.
This lineup was proposed by Klay Thompson, he knew that he didn't feel good today, plus Duan Tianqing and Draymond Green were in great shape, so he discussed with David Lee and Matt Jackson to try a different lineup.
Let these people flexibly combine and see the effect. So there is this set of second-half starting lineups of the Warriors.
They have an advantage in this lineup, that is, there are many attacking people, and almost every point except Duan Tianqing has the ability to finish.
On the court, it was Duan Tianqing who held the ball for half the court, and when he and Curry were also on the court, Curry was more like playing the role of the second position.
Of course, Curry himself was born as a point guard, and later switched to point guard, and now he doesn't have the slightest awkwardness to play the second position except for being a little shorter.
"Come on, boys!" In the third quarter, which was the key to determining the direction of the game, the Mavericks fielded all the main lineup.
Vince Carter is still the main defense of Curry, and Mayo is also sent on the court against Duan Tianqing.
"Yo, it's you again!" Duan Tianqing dribbled and laughed at half time.
βγγγβ Damn, why am I so unlucky to meet you again!? Mayo was full of slander in his heart, but he didn't expect Duan Tianqing to get a chance to play in the third quarter when Curry was present.
"Duan, here!" At this point, Green stuck in the position. Duan Tianqing hoisted the ball directly to him.
The Warriors' players began to run in search of opportunities, while Green wanted to use his strength to eat the opposing center.
"Drummond, don't force it!" Bogut reminded.
Green is too much of a disadvantage to play the opponent's center, and his two-meter height is really nothing among NBA interior players. Eating the opponent's center hard, there is a big disadvantage in height, and it is difficult to play.
And Green first let this also notice, stopping the ball and looking back, it was like covering the sky.
So Green passed the ball to Curry, who was running, and Vince Carter kept chasing after him.
After a cover from Bogut, who had a high quality of coverage, Vince Carter couldn't catch up, but the Mavericks had already arranged for this situation. Mayo directly let go of Duan Tianqing to make up for Curry, also because in the previous game, Duan Tianqing made zero shots and zero hits, which made the Mavericks a little disdainful of his offensive ability.
Of course, it is also a good choice for someone who does not have a strong offensive ability to let go of his own defense in the game to come and pounce on the opponent's main scoring point. After all, it is impossible to give the opponent the opportunity to shoot in the vacant position with the most certainty.
Mayo came over to pounce, and Curry passed the ball directly to Duan Tianqing.
"Oh?! A very big opportunity to open a space in the small section, which is very good! Is he going to vote?! The narrator shouted passionately.
"It's okay, his offensive ability shouldn't be very strong, and he can't shoot in general." The Mavericks' team members all have this idea.
But what they don't know is that poor shooting ability doesn't mean weak offensive ability.
Curry's pass, Duan Tianqing's Maverick's defensive line in front of him was wide open, and Duan Tianqing naturally would not let go of this good opportunity.
"Oh, Xiao Duan didn't choose this big open shot! He chose to break through! β
"Looks like he's not very confident in his shot!"
"Look!"
Duan Tianqing dribbled and broke through to the basket, and the Mavericks Carman made up for it.
At this time, he already knew that he could no longer use normal means to stop Duan Tianqing, who had already rushed up, so he could only find a way to pull him down before he took three steps.
So Kaman stepped forward and was in front of Duan Tianqing.
"Get out of here!" Duan Tianqing roared angrily, and the three-point line took three steps directly.
It was too late when Kaman reached out to pull, but just when everyone thought that Duan Tianqing would be pulled down in three steps, and this ball was a free throw.
Duan Tianqing, who was pulled by Kaman here, did not slow down at all, but directly brought down Kaman, and he jumped high in the third step of a set of coherent movements on the inside line.
Duan Tianqing held the ball in one hand and stayed in the air for a long distance. "Bang!" With a bang, the basketball was smashed directly into the basket by him.
"Shhhh Two points are valid, plus one free throw! "The referee gave a timely decision.
"OMG! Gliding tomahawk chop! Are you Jordan?! "The live commentary feels like I'm going crazy!
"Where did this monster come from!? I can't pull it! β
"Such a great physique! If Westbrook is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Duan is a Wolverine!! β
"Oh my God, I can't believe my eyes, Xiao Duan actually got the first point of his career like this? Crazy, just crazy! With this ball, I'll be his fan from now on! β
"Haha, I think a lot of viewers across the country think the same way!"
"It's incredible!"
After Duan Tianqing got off the basket with one hand, he pretended to stand still and didn't move, looking like he was dragging. The expression seems to say that everyone here is rubbish!
"Duan! That's great! Green rushed over and jumped, hitting Duan Tianqing directly.
Everyone else came over and high-fived him!
At this time, the Mavericks players were stunned, your sister, don't you know how to attack. The tomahawk that can't be pulled?! Are you really a Chinese player?
Walking onto the free throw line, Duan Tianqing still stared at Kaman menacingly, as if to say that this was the revenge of the ball in the second quarter. It's a pity that Kaman has been looking elsewhere, letting Duan Tianqing waste his feelings in vain.
"Alright, Section 7, let's make free throws!" The referee urged.
"Oh!" When Duan Tianqing heard this, he scratched his head with a bitter face. Why do you need to make free throws?
"What's wrong?" The referee wondered. He seems to be very intimidating, and he is not a center, and free throws should be simple for point guards.
"Duan, don't be nervous!" Curry comforted him behind him.
Duan Tianqing took a deep breath, squatted down an ugly horse step, and held his breath to concentrate.
"Walk you!" The ball flew straight out. There was not a bit of curvature, no spin, and although it was in the right direction, it was like a cannonball on the rebound.
The basketball bounced twice between the rebound and the basket and fell out.
βyesοΌβ Duan Tianqing cheered.
Why are you so happy to do it, and you didn't get in!
"I'm in the basket!!"
βγγγβ And the crowd was convinced. The shooting ability is so bad, are you really a guard?!
