Chapter 66: The First Dunk! (Plus more for assists)
"Ding! Fourth! ”
"Huh?" Ding Wei interrupted his resentment against Xiaomeng and returned his mind to reality, the second quarter of the game had begun, and his teammates around him were replaced by K.J. McDaniels and Hollis Thompson, who played most of the game in his place.
"The boss told you to warm up." Although the sweat has been wiped clean, Thompson still feels that the pores of his body are constantly releasing the heat accumulated in his body for seven or eight minutes, this kind of high-intensity game is really a burden for him now, but fortunately, J.R. Smith did not get too many opportunities under his strict defense, which made him a little proud in addition to rejoicing.
Ding Wei made an "OK" gesture to Brett Brown, who was watching the game from the sidelines, and then stood up from the bench and began to move.
ESPN's director quickly switched shots and gave Ding Wei a close-up.
"Well, the Chinese rookie who suffered foul trouble in the first quarter is about to return to the game to see if he can change the current unfavorable situation of the 76ers."
"It's basically difficult, the Cavaliers' roster has been greatly strengthened after the trade, and now their bench thickness is enough to rank among the top few teams in the East, compared to the 76ers' rotation lineup is still a bit immature to cope with this intensity of the game, and the point difference may be further widened." Larry Brown looked directly into the camera and spoke his point in a calm tone. Although he currently coaches Southern Methodist University (**U), which is only a team that has struggled to reach the NCAA round of 64, he has always maintained his basketball philosophy: hard, rational, and not swayed by any emotions.
"If the 76ers want to win, they must fight for every ball," may be incompatible with his coach in style, but Iverson's stubbornness and unyielding are also infiltrated into his bones, no matter how difficult the current situation is, he will not give up his persistence and hard work, "Everyone, every minute, can not relax." ”
Although the gap in the score has not narrowed, the 76ers still adhere to the tactics of Breitt Brown's steady counterattack, basketball defensive counterattack and football are fundamentally different, in the football game, sometimes only need to seize an opportunity to completely reverse the situation of the game, while basketball needs to seize the opportunity again and again, and in this process, the opponent will of course be alert, will adjust, and even use their own strategy in turn, so any tactics, It's impossible to try everything on the basketball court, it's a matter of probability.
The 76ers' defensive strategy worked well in this round, as McDaniels' close follow caused J.R. Smith to miss the dribble and gain a valuable possession while keeping the margin at nine.
Robert Covington, who served the backcourt sideline ball, did not pass the ball to Larry Drew, who was being clinged to by Dellavedova, but directly threw the ball to Ding Wei, who had just come on the court, Ding Wei quickly advanced across the halfway line and passed the ball to Jeremy Grant, who had a good play in the first quarter, who first made a feint after receiving the ball, and saw that the opposing player was not fooled, and passed the ball back to Ding Wei's hands. At this time, Shambaugh, who had been staying about two meters in front of Ding Wei, suddenly stepped forward to force him.
Changed the marker?
The holographic projection in Ding Wei's mind showed the changes on the field in front of his eyes for the first time, as the league rules are more and more inclined to attack, the excavation of defensive tactics by each team has also risen to a level of madness, although the basic framework has not changed, but the level and changes in defense are much richer than before.
The reason why the Cavaliers brought in Shambaugh was because they liked the latter's physical fitness and defensive skills, and Ding Wei naturally knew everything about this, so he did not choose to force the opponent's style of play, but transferred the ball to Larry Drew on the other side of the arc, and he immediately cut to the basket, intending to disrupt the Cavaliers' defense in this way, so as to be able to regain the opportunity to receive the ball in a better position.
When Ding Wei received the ball again on the left baseline, he had fully seen the defensive strategy adopted by the opponent in this round, when the ball was at the top of the arc, the opponent would choose to mark to limit the reception and breakthrough of himself and his teammates, and when the ball moved to the low position, they could quickly switch to the joint defense mode, covering all the shooting points near the penalty area as much as possible, seeing that Shambaugh was still eyeing himself, Ding Wei once again gave up the plan to break through directly, and passed the ball out, This time it was Henry Simms who caught the ball near the free-throw line.
"Why didn't Ding choose to shoot? The ball was already in his range......" Eskefei explained on the sidelines.
"With Shambaugh's reflexes and bounce speed, it's easy to interfere with his shots, and he needs better chances." Brett Brown explained lightly to his assistant.
"But time ......"
"He's not going to ignore that kind of detail."
Ding immediately started his second off-ball run as soon as he passed the ball, and while he used his peripheral vision to confirm the defensive footsteps of Shambaught, he stared closely at Simms, who was tangling with Tristan Thompson in the high post, and the moment he staggered with Himms, he gave the latter a look, and reached out to receive the ball.
Simms, who understood Ding Wei's intentions for the first time, passed the ball to Ding Wei with a silent hand, and then slipped into the penalty area like oil on the soles of his feet, and before Tristan Thompson could follow, he had already jumped in the air!
“WOW! Nice-alley-oop! Fantastic assist from Ding! Delivered on time, every time! Mike Brin was on camera as he narrated the brilliant aerial relay, and after watching nearly half of the dreary game, he finally had a chance to use his rich vocabulary.
"The interpretation of the defense is very precise." Larry Brown nodded.
"Although I would definitely choose to break through on my own in this situation, Dante's choice is undoubtedly the most correct for him, he understands himself very well." Iverson's eyes glowed, and Ding Wei's performance reminded him of his former partner Eric Snow, who was the nominal point guard, but more often than not, the 76ers' offense was connected through this obscure No. 20 player, and he felt the same way.
"The morale of the 76ers is up." Looking at the 76ers players celebrating wildly on the bench, Mike Brin once again sighed that he had commented that Ding Wei had several games, and this inconspicuous little guy can always find a way to boost morale at the first time when the team is in a stalemate, whether it is relying on himself or leading his teammates, he has done a good job.
The Cavaliers, who were caught off guard by the sudden aerial bombardment, launched their counterattack in a somewhat hasty manner, and Dellavedova forced a breakthrough under the pinch of Larry Drew and Covington, but Grant's sudden up-and-go grabbed at the right time disrupted his dribbling rhythm again, and he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he was still quick to react and turned around to protect the ball behind him......
"Matthew! Be careful! Dellavedova was relieved to hear his teammate Mike Miller shouting at him, who was looking behind him with some panic, and he subconsciously turned his head.
"Dravedova's adaptability is still ...... Oh! Ding's steal! Mike Brin exclaimed again.
Dellavedova, who had been turning around for a long time but had never seen anyone, was wondering, when he suddenly heard a sharp burst of boos from the home fans in the stadium, and then he suddenly felt a fierce wind passing by him, as if a high-speed train was speeding past him.
When Dellavedova finally saw Ding Wei's back like the wind, the basketball in his hand was already in the latter's hands!
And in front of him, there is no longer a single defender!
"Ding! Buckle one! Hollis Thompson shouted at Ding Wei's back.
Ding Wei, who heard Thompson's shout, did not look back, but once again accelerated his speed towards the basket, which also made Dellavedova, who was still two or three meters away from Ding Wei, give up his defense, and he was out of breath He stopped and turned around, not wanting to see the scene of the opponent raging on his own basket.
Ding Wei rushed into the Knight's restricted area amid the earth-shattering cheers and boos, the basket was only one step away from him, he took a deep breath, and took his last step in this fast break, and then jumped high under the gaze of the fans, and the basketball drew a semicircle in his hand as sharp as a full moon scimitar, with an indomitable momentum, and rushed into the basket fiercely!
“Oh! One-handed windmill! If I'm not mistaken, this should have been Ding's first dunk in an official game! I didn't expect this Chinese rookie to contain such a terrifying explosive power! It's really impressive! ”
"A wonderful goal." Although Larry Brown's tone is still flat, those who know him well know that it is a rare evaluation to be able to say such a sentence out of his mouth, and he has never been very interested in this kind of solo performance.
Aaron Iverson didn't speak, just his eyes, which became brighter.
