Chapter 54: Why Should I Break Through?
But any fan with a normal IQ can see that the so-called matchup between Ding Wei and Wiggins is just a gimmick, and this game is ultimately a matchup between the league's current worst team and the worst team in the past. Therefore, no matter how much the media tries to attract attention, it still fails to make any waves in the United States Jrs.
However, the domestic Jrs reported with great enthusiasm for this game, and the report of the media in the United States was soon uploaded to Hu Pu's hottest discussion area "Hot Topic" through the translation team and subtitle group, and suddenly set off a stormy wave, the heat is no less than the "Lin Crazy" of the year, honey, black, deformation honey and senior black are no longer detailed, and even the fifth channel has temporarily adjusted the live broadcast plan, and the two commentators today are the big Xu and Yangyi who were robbed of the first opportunity by Zhang Reasonable in the last game.
"I didn't expect to be able to explain Ding Wei's game so quickly," Da Xu smiled at the camera, "I've seen a lot of reports about Ding Wei and Wiggins on the forum in the past few days, although I doubt how much of this is true, but it does make the attention of this game go to a higher level, full of what you think." ”
"In fact, this game is not so much a matchup between Ding Wei and Wiggins, but a revenge battle for the Timberwolves, everyone knows that the 76ers lost 17 consecutive games at the beginning of the season, who ended this losing streak, it is the Timberwolves, and today is their only chance to get revenge this season." Yangyi took over the topic thrown by Da Xu and talked about it eloquently, after all, it was an old partner who had cooperated for many years, and everything was in plain sight.
"That's right, Ding Wei was not on the 76ers at that time, but speaking of which, it is still a bit difficult for the Timberwolves to complete this revenge, after all, the current 76ers are no longer the 76ers they were at the beginning, and the Timberwolves are still the Timberwolves."
"Your uncle will always be your uncle." Beaming with laughter.
"The question of who is the uncle will be put aside for the time being, and now the game has begun, the Timberwolves have lined up their strongest starting lineup at the moment, point guard Zach LaVine replaces Rubio, who is absent due to injury, and scoring guard Andrew Wiggins, who has won the Rookie of the Month crown twice, it seems that if nothing else, his best rookie will not be able to run away, and the confrontation between him and Ding Wei in this game will inevitably become the key to the victory or defeat between the two teams, small forward Thaddeus Young, This is also the player who has played for the 76ers, power forward Dean and center Pekovic. The 76ers' roster hasn't changed much, and their injuries are mainly focused on the bench, and Ding started this game, which shows that his place in this team is becoming more and more important. ”
"Looking forward to a new surprise from him." Yang Yi also quickly returned to the topic.
As soon as the game started, the head coach of the Timberwolves Sanders firmly locked his eyes on Ding Wei, the outcome of this game is not particularly important in his heart, after all, the team is not pursuing a record this season, as a coach who is much more senior than Brett Brown, the management will give him more patience to slowly polish the Timberwolves, which has not yet taken shape, and he also has more time to observe his opponents through one game at a time, especially a completely strange player like Ding Wei.
Ding Wei didn't disappoint, and just 10 seconds into the game, he had his first chance to attack with the ball in the game, and his opponent was none other than Andrew Wiggins.
"Ding Wei got on the bar with Wiggins as soon as he came up! Let's see if this ball can take the lead! A breakthrough after a feint! Wiggins followed closely...... Oh, the pass, the 76ers are now reorganizing the offense. ”
"This guy is average...... this is Wiggins' first impression of Ding Wei.
"This kid, it's a little interesting......" Compared with Wiggins, Sanders saw more things from Ding Wei's choice, and he didn't know what Ding Wei found in this tentative breakthrough, but he vaguely felt a little abnormal.
"Has he seen through our defensive tactics?" Sanders couldn't help but open his mind, but then denied his thoughts, "It's unlikely......
Ding Wei's passing is very incomprehensible, it stands to reason that he doesn't need to be overly afraid of Wiggins' defense, even if he can't seek a layup through the breakthrough, he should pose a threat to the opponent's restricted area as much as possible, so as to allow his teammates on the outside to get more opportunities, fortunately, the Timberwolves' shooting feel at the beginning of the game is not very good, the 76ers once again got the ball, and now the two sides are still standing on the same running line, Ding Wei is asking for the ball, it seems that he is not very satisfied with his performance just now, Hopefully he can show more aggression in this attack. ”
Ding Wei received another pass from his teammate at a 45-degree angle, and at the moment of receiving the ball and turning, his afterglow had already caught Pekovic hiding behind Wiggins, which was exactly the same scene he saw last time in "Hawkeye".
And so it was...... It turned out that they played a 2-3 joint defense, so ......"
Due to the limitation of the three-second rule of defense, the 2-3 joint defense that relies on the center to protect the restricted area is rare in today's NBA, but Sanders has made improvements on the basis of the 2-3 joint defense, and the outside line relies on the athleticism of Zach LaVine and Wiggins, limiting McCarvey and Din to the two points of the ball, while the inside line is a three-person joint defense with Pekovic as the axis, and switches between the triangle position and parallel position at any time according to the opponent's offensive style, when the opponent adopts the breakthrough ball strategy, The triangle stance is a good limit to the layups and passes of the breakaway players, and when the opponent is dominated by shooting, the parallel stance maximizes the control of the 76ers' vaunted baseline shooters, regardless of the execution ability of the players on the court, it is simply a defensive tactic tailored for the 76ers.
Just when everyone thought that Ding Wei would definitely choose to break through this attack, Ding Wei suddenly hugged the ball and made a pause gesture!
Ding Wei suddenly chose to pause! What's the situation? In the live broadcast room of Channel 5, Da Xu almost jumped up from his seat as if he had been scalded by boiling water.
"Is it hurt?" Yang Yi is also puzzled.
Not only the two commentators, but also the fans watching the game in the online live broadcast room were also confused, expressing their various speculations and dazzling replies.
"Boss, the Timberwolves' defense is very targeted." Before Brett Brown could ask, Ding Wei had already made a rush to answer.
Brett Brown nodded and motioned for Ding Wei to continue.
"I don't know if you noticed the Timberwolves' defensive position in the restricted area, when we broke through......" Ding Wei simply took the tactical board in Brett Brown's hand and said while laying out the Timberwolves' defensive formation on it, "...... In short, if they stick to this defensive strategy, it will be difficult for us to open up the situation. ”
"And then?" Tony Roten raised an eyebrow on the side, and his keen instincts as a point guard told him that Ding Wei had thought of a solution.
"But one of the biggest problems with this kind of defense is that the athleticism and physical requirements of the two forwards are extremely high, and if they have a full lineup, this is not a shortcoming for them, but the Timberwolves only have nine players on the court in this game at the moment, so the best way to beat them is to run!"
The players looked at each other, and Ding Wei's analysis just now contained too much information, which made them a little unable to react for a while, and Jakar Sampson even pouted his lips to express disdain, which onion are you?
"Ding is right, we do want to run, increase the change between the two bases, increase the breakthrough, increase the pass, even if they can't form a good chance, let them run with our rhythm, this kind of defense is not only a test of physical strength, but also a test of the execution of the players, the Timberwolves did not use this defensive strategy in the last game, I believe they have just mastered it, and this is also our opportunity." Brett Brown took over the command of the team in a timely manner, and even if many words mean exactly the same thing, they will definitely have different effects when they come out of different mouths, and sure enough, many players have begun to nod frequently, "Nadin, what advice do you have for the candidates for tactical execution?" ”
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, why did the coach suddenly kick the ball back? He glanced in surprise at Brett Brown, who had a meaningful smile on his face, and as if he suddenly understood something, he cleared his throat and shouted, "Jakar Sampson!" ”
"Here!" Sampson reflexively stood up from the bench, only to realize that it was not the coach but Ding Wei who gave the order, and his face immediately darkened, and he didn't know whether to continue standing or sitting, so he had to tilt his head to the side and pretend not to hear.
Henry Sims couldn't help but laugh out loud at the time, and was stabbed in the back by Hollis Thompson, and he stuck the laugh in his throat.
Ding Wei coughed lightly and rolled his eyes at the head who was gloating on the side, and Coach Brett Brown immediately suppressed the smile that was about to burst out, and said to Sampson: "Jakar, your opponent will be one of Thaddeus Young and Badinger later, all you have to do is keep walking around the right baseline and around 45 degrees, looking for opportunities to break through." ”
Sampson nodded awkwardly.
"Henry Himms!"
“Yes,sir!” Sims faced Ding Wei with a chest straightened, with an expression of "Lao Tzu is so handsome", Ding Wei glared at him fiercely, and turned his face away like Sampson, he really couldn't stand this guy's narcissism, and suddenly there was a laugh on the bench of the 76ers.
"Boss......" Simms cast an innocent look at Brett Brown.
"Henry, I'm going to allow you to shoot from the outside in this game, your shots can be a good way to pull the opponent's defensive formation, but be sure to shoot open balls, otherwise I'll replace you."
“Yes,sir!” Simms' answer was even louder than the last.
"Stinky boy," Coach Brown laughed and kicked Henry Simms in the ass, "alright, alright, now let's surprise the opponent!" ”
Sanders frowned as he watched the 76ers' players gleefully sneer, the inexplicable timeout just now completely disrupted his mental rhythm, he didn't even know what he said to the players during the timeout, and the 76ers seemed to be prepared, which made him a little uneasy.
Wiggins's face is not very good-looking, before this game, he held back his strength to fight with Ding Wei, but so far he has not received a positive response from the opponent, you must know that no one in the entire league dares to ignore this new Ding who has become the core of the team in the first year, but he didn't expect this game to be preempted by Ding Wei, which made him very angry.
"Andrew, it seems that your opponent doesn't like you very well." Bennett, who replaced Dean on the court, came to Wiggins' side and gloated, in addition to the fact that he was the champion, he did not find any sense of existence as a champion from the game, except for the annual salary a little higher than Wiggins, and now he saw his competitors deflated, he naturally would not let go of this opportunity to ridicule.
Wiggins glared at him silently, and he didn't have any affection for this teammate who was so defeated by the gold. Bennett wanted to say more, but suddenly felt a chill behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Coach Sanders' sharp gaze like a falcon shooting straight at him, and he immediately lowered his head and ran to defend with goosebumps all over his body.
The Timberwolves also have a good defense of the frontcourt throw-in, and the 76ers finally sent the ball out, but he didn't expect it to be Ding Wei who received the ball, he glanced at Wiggins who was gritting his teeth at him helplessly, and transferred the ball out again under the latter's almost killing gaze.
"Why don't you break through?" Wiggins finally couldn't help but ask, he only felt that he must be angry if he continued like this.
"Why should I break through?" Ding Wei asked rhetorically.
Wiggins was speechless for a while, he couldn't directly say to the opponent "You break through me to have a chance to overturn you" such a trash talk without any connotation at all, just when he was stunned, Ding Wei's figure suddenly disappeared from his eyes, when he came back to his senses, the latter had already cut into the penalty area, received a pass from Norlens Knowle, and shook off the defensive Dean with a low-handed layup to easily score two points.
Ding Wei, who returned to the defense, looked at Wiggins who was in a daze, smiled and said something, his voice was very soft, but Wiggins clearly saw what he wanted to say from his mouth:
"Why should I break through?"
This obnoxious guy!
(I'm Mo Wenwei back!) )
