CHAPTER 76 PASS, I CAN

"Hey Kenny, did you notice that their offenses are very similar?"

Barkley watched the replay of the first round of the attack of both sides, only to realize that when both teams attacked, they scored through running, passing, and air cutting. It's just that the Rockets didn't succeed, and the Kings did.

"Of course, don't forget, Princeton thrived there!"

"Roar, in that case, Team Rocket is going to be in trouble!"

"Of course, just look at Adelman's face, I really want to know how he's feeling right now?"

"Haha, it's quite sour......"

Barkley, who was sitting on the commentary seat, laughed shamelessly.

Princeton was not a new tactic developed by Adelman, but it was carried forward in his hands. And the direct beneficiary of this is the Kings.

During the period when the Lakers OK team won three consecutive championships, the Kings relied on the smooth Princeton style of play and wrestled with the Lakers there. Although it did not fail to succeed in the end, in the Western Conference Finals of the 02 playoffs, it was true that the powerful Lakers could not be found.

Since then, though, the Kings have been on a downward spiral, especially after the departures of Divac and Webb.

In order to restore the team's former glory, the Kings hierarchy decided to rebuild the team, and the team's head coach Adelman bore the brunt of the team. The man who brought glory to the team was also the biggest stumbling block to the team's rebuild.

So Adelman left the king with Princeton's brilliant achievements.

However, the Kings need to do better on the road to rebuilding, and after Adelman's departure, new coach Musselman did not bring a new life to the Kings, and did not even make the playoffs last season.

The impatient Kings hierarchy terminated his contract at the end of the season and ushered in another head coach, Rejay Seus. Like his predecessor, the team's results were not particularly good at the beginning of his tenure, but in order to change that, and to strengthen his position, Seus continued to play Princeton tactics in the middle of the season.

Miller and Martin in the team, as a player in the Adelman period, are more receptive to Princeton's tactics, so the Kings performed well in the middle of the period, but they were limited by the overall strength of the team and were not able to attack like the playoffs.

Although Seus helped the team's record recover in a short period of time, it did not meet the willingness of the Kings hierarchy to rebuild. It is conceivable that even if Seus can lead the team through this season, he will not be able to continue coaching with the Kings.

Adelman, who was standing on the sidelines, immediately frowned as he watched the Kings play Princeton's offense.

Compared to the Kings, the Rockets team was not able to fully execute Princeton's tactics, mainly because they did not have a qualified playmaker like Miller.

With the outside players unable to shoot, the basketball came into Leylin's hands.

Adelman shook his head as Raylin was there carrying the opposing center, Moore.

He does not deny Leylin's talent, nor does he deny Leylin's attitude.

But it was still too far from what he wanted.

Ten assists in both games gave Adelman hope. He saw the big man he wanted, but after a few games, he found that Raelin preferred to fight with others under the basket rather than play to his teammates in the high post.

Clang!

Railling's turnaround jumper smashed into the basket and bounced straight to the opposite side, and after Scola grabbed the rebound, he passed directly to Alston on the outside.

Swish!

“THERRPOINT……”

The basketball passes through an arc and falls directly into the hoop.

The Kings attacked, and Miller was still pulled to the top of the organization.

"Thunder, keep up!"

As Miller left the basket, Artest, another player on the Kings team, was running quickly towards the basket. It was Artest who went straight to the basket and made Leylin hesitate.

But after hearing Adelman's shout, Leylin quickly rushed towards Miller.

However, it was too late, and Miller received the ball near the halfway line and hit a shot straight away.

"Hoo ......"

Although Leylin tried his best to jump halfway through to block, it didn't help.

"Ray, you have to keep up with Miller, use your reach, your speed and your footwork to interfere with him, and don't let him pass comfortably, understand?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to serve, Leylin was called to the sideline by Adelman and received the latest instructions.

The biggest containment for Princeton is to destroy their central axis.

As the former central axis of the Kings, Miller is handy in terms of organizational strategy, Adelman does not expect Raylin to finish him, the only hope is that Raylin can use his advantages to create more trouble for Miller.

Swish!

The Rockets attacked, and Alston hit another three-pointer.

After receiving the latest instructions, Leylin followed Miller and pestered Miller to death.

"See, Ray's mission in this game must be to stare at Miller."

"To be honest, I don't think Ray would be able to target Miller because that's a cunning guy."

Sure enough, as soon as Barkley's words fell, Miller used a cover from Moore to pull directly to the high post, and then used Udri's ball cover to pull directly to the weak side and received a pass from Udley.

"Damn!"

Finally keeping up, Miller had already passed the ball to Martin on the other side. Watching Martin hit a three-pointer directly, Leylin scolded angrily.

He didn't expect that he couldn't even keep up with one person.

After a sigh, Leylin quickly prepared to participate in the attack.

"Rookie, you still have a lot to learn!"

Miller said with a smile as he looked at Leylin.

"Hmph, why don't you just pass the ball? Teach with you? ”

Looking at Miller's smile, Leylin secretly disdainful.

You have to know that you're the guy who has given 10 assists in two games in a row.

If Miller knew what Leyling was thinking, he would have vomited blood, and I had two back-to-back games with 10 assists in my first two seasons.

Coming to the basket and watching Moore follow him, Raelin glanced at Miller, who was following Scola, and looked at Alston on the dribble.

"Pass, I can do it too!"

Then he quickly pulled up to the high post, and after making a block for Alston, Rayling came to the side of the free throw line and received a pass from Alston.

Although Moore is inconspicuous and is a standard tramp in the league, his strong style of play, coupled with flexible and active defense, has earned him the title of Snake Man!

He had a good performance with the Nets last season, so he was favored by the Kings and was offered a mid-level contract last summer.

So after Leylin received the pass, Moore appeared in front of Leylin for the first time.

"Uncle's!"

Unable to get the ball out for a moment, Leylin was only able to dribble it on his own there.

Unskilled dribbling skills are terrifying to watch, and it seems that in the next second, the basketball will hit the instep of his foot.

"Oh my God, Ray is dribbling himself, it's horrible."

Looking at Leylin's dribble, Kenny Smith closed his eyes directly.

"Indeed, if I could have half my dribbling skills, it wouldn't be like this, it's too ugly!"

Barkley smashed his mouth and looked at Leylin's dribble with disdain.

"Damn!"

Seeing Moore's big hand stretched out, he was so frightened that Leylin pulled his right hand and turned his back directly to Moore.

"Punching?"

Glancing at Moore behind him, Leylin immediately had an idea.

About 20 feet from the basket, Leylin carried Moore and arched towards the basket step by step.

"This rookie ......"

The emaciated Moore is a weakness in terms of strength, so he can't stop Leylin's strong blows, and he is about to lose his position.

Miller directly left the Scola next to him and went straight to the bag.

The moment Miller moved, Leylin was aware that he was waiting for Miller to give up on Scola, but Leyling didn't pass the ball immediately.

When Miller came up, Leylin turned around and made a pass with his left hand, and the basketball hit the ground directly into Scola's hands.

Swish!

Assist for Scola's layup.

“PASS! ICAN! ”

After high-fives and celebrations with Scola, Leylin came to Miller's side and spat out those three words!
