Chapter 12 Counterpoint Chris Webb
Kings take a timeout.
"Oh! The greatest rookie in history was born, Kwame Brown, you're amazing, you actually killed All-Star center Vlad Divac in just 1 minute or 6 seconds in your first NBA game, you're my idol, I'm your fan from today, great Kwame Brown, you're..." Charles Barkley gloated over his speech, he had never seen a rookie with such perfect trash talk, even though he didn't know what I was talking about.
"Quiet, Charles, don't take Kwame Brown down the wrong path. He's still young, and what he needs to learn is technology, not trash talk. I don't think he deserves credit for doing this, and if he is addicted to it, I don't believe his future will be bright. Kenny Smith said.
"Kenny, you're jealous, you're naked, you're not jealous, aren't you talking trash? It's just that your trash talk is too gentle, and you're never going to be able to finish an All-Star in the opening 1 minute o6 seconds. Barkley snapped.
"You know, trash talk is one of the most beautiful scenery on the basketball court, great players, there must be great trash talk, Michael Jordan, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, ......" Barkley continues to tell the trash talk master.
"Okay, okay, Charles, you have to know that the most important thing for a player is technique, trash talk, just playing a supporting role, great players can have trash talk, but great trash talkers may not become great players, in my opinion, what Kwame Brown should do at the moment is to improve his strength, so that he can become a superstar." Kenny Smith interrupted Barkley's chatter.
"But don't you think Kwame Brown is already a superstar? With a suffocating defense, coupled with a lot of trash talk, he's already a superstar, yes, he's already a superstar! Barkley said, nodding.
I sat on the bench, held my head high, and let the team doctor toss my bleeding nose, which was not a big problem, stuffed a few pieces of cotton yarn, and controlled the bleeding.
Hubert Davis was right next to me, put his big hand on my shoulder, and whispered, "Kwame, great, what did you say to him?" ”
"I didn't say anything, I'll just say that you screwed up! And then it was on fire. "I had an innocent look on my face.
"Just blow it! Brat! Hubert Davis said with a smile as he pushed my head.
"Well done, Kwame, you'll be in the headlines tomorrow! You're famous, haha......" Alexander said with a grin on the other side.
After everyone was in a circle, Collins took the tactics board and said with a smile: "Kwame is great, of course just talking about his trash." ”
The crowd laughed.
"The next must be Scott Pollard coming off as a substitute for Divac, Scott's offense and defense are average, Kwame, you and Christian switch positions, when Christian attacks, you have to force Scott, you want to blow him up, understand?" Christian Leitner nodded, and Collins went on to say to me:
"Kwame, next you defend Chris Webb, pay attention, don't talk trash anymore, the referee has already paid attention to you in this game, watch him find his balance, understand, pay attention to avoid fouls, try to push it out of the three-second zone, don't let him get too close to the basket."
I nodded, "Understood." ”
"Let's play, come on!" Collins said as he threw the tactics board into the assistant coach's arms.
An important reason why the Princeton system is great is that there are very few centers with very good passing ability on the inside, and they have a wide field of vision and good passing ability, and Vlad Divac is one of the better ones, and if Divac is eliminated, the strength of the Kings will be reduced by a third. If I can defend Chris Webb, the Sacramento Kings will be meat on the board ---- to be slaughtered.
However, it is not that simple.
I pressed my forearm against Chris Webb's back, feeling the direction of his movement, my eyes glued to his shoulders, trying to figure out what he was about to do. I have to admit that he is a genius, a basketball genius who has only been seen in ten years, and his footsteps under the basket, his small hooks, and his clever passes from time to time make me unguardable.
At 9:06 in the second quarter, Webb Chris Webb half-turned under the basket, leaned his shoulder against my chest, and with a small hook in his right hand, the basketball went into the basket steadily.
It was his seventh shot over my head, and with the addition of three of four free throws, Chris has scored 17 points.
Wizards take a timeout.
"Obviously, Chris is one of the best power forwards on the roster, one-on-one offense, I'm sure there are not many people who can stop him, Kwame Brown has a great defense, but he still has too little experience, after all, this is only his first NBA game, and he still has a lot to learn." Kenny Smith took advantage of the timeout to comment on the game
"Kenny, you can't say that, you have to know that no one in the world can defend Chris Webber 1-on-1, even with a bag, he can still score 4o points, Kwame Brown has done a good job, he has taken 9 rebounds so far, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, and has 3 blocks, and two of those three blocks are given to Chris Webb, this number can already compete for Defensive Player of the Year, this is only Kwame's first game, I'm sure when he gets used to Chris Webb's rhythm, Kwame will do better. Barkley continued with Kwamemi.
"Charles, you said that no one in the world can defend Chris 1-on-1, so what about you? Can't you stop Chris? Kenny Smith quipped.
"Even, Kenny, you're so bad, how do you ask me to answer that?! Haha, I don't know if I can stop Chris, but I know Chris can't stop me, haha..."
"Charles, you're so cunning, if I ask Kwame Brown if he can stop you, I'm guessing you'll say you can stop Kwame Brown's offense." Kenny Smith quipped.
"You are truly my confidant! How did you know I was going to say that? You're talented! Barkley said openly.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
I picked up a towel, wiped my sweat, picked up another bottle of water, and said, "Goo, goo," and pour wildly. It's really tiring. It's never easy to defend against these talented players.
'Chris's hands are up, he's hit three balls in a row and we've got to pack him. Etan Thomas (Etan Thomas replaces Christian Leitner), you have to be careful not to get too far away from Chris when you defend, Scott Pollard is only a threat under the basket, out of the box..." Collins stumbled with his tactical board.
Bag clip! It's two very simple words, in most games, when dealing with the opponent's star player, it is usually used to use the pinch defense. But this is a great insult to me. In his previous life, Kwame Brown may not have been very good offensively, but his defense is absolutely top-notch, he has never used a bag when defending the big shark O'Neal, and he has not been helped against the little giant Yao Ming, and all the interior players are 1-on-1 to solve the opponent.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Collins, I want to try again, I think I can keep Chris." I said seriously to head coach Doug Collins.
Yes, I want to try again, I can't disgrace Kwame Brown, with such a great physical condition, I believe I will succeed. If it's a big deal, I'll use that trick.
"Are you sure?" Collins was a little surprised.
Anyone can call me a softass offensively, but on defense I'm really confident, and Kwame Brown didn't have an interior line that he couldn't defend.
Collins looked at Jordan, who nodded.
"Good! In the last 2 minutes and 54 seconds, if we can't prevent it, we will use the bag clamp in the third quarter. Collins agreed.
When the ball is in Chris Webb's hands, he may be unguarded, but what if the ball doesn't reach him? I'm physically stronger than him, taller than him, longer than him, faster than him, no worse than him in terms of bouncing and height, and if I go around and stay firmly in front of him, I'm sure he'll never catch the ball. Yes, he must not have been able to catch the ball.
The game continues.
The Wizards attacked, and Chris Whitney, who came off the bench, scored on a pick-and-roll.
At 46:43, the Wizards led by three points, and even if Vlad Divac was scrapped in this game, the Kings were no worse than the Wizards.
The Kings attacked, Mike Bibby controlled the ball, I leaned sideways against Chris Webb, facing the direction of the basketball, just like I was on offense, only letting Chris show half of his body, and he wanted to catch the ball, which was absolutely impossible.
"What is Kwame Brown doing? Is this the Kings on offense? How does Kwame Brown make me feel like I'm on the attack? Kenny Smith questioned.
"Kenny, Kwame Brown doesn't look like he's going to attack! He's defending in front of him! Haha," Charles Barkley explained to Kenny Smith.
"Isn't it usually a small amplification, a light defense against heavy, and a fast defense against slowness? Kwame Brown: What is this going on? Is he so confident that he is faster than Chris Webb? Kenny Smith commented.
"I also think Kwame Brown is a bit redundant to do that, but he defended well just now, and it makes him look a bit like a blue-collar worker!" Barkley agreed.
"Isn't Brown blue-collar? He has been doing the work of blue-collar workers. Kenny Smith expressed skepticism.
"No, Brown is the champion, he won't be a blue collar, he's going to be a superstar, even though he won't attack!" Barkley said.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
The Wizards' defense has expanded widely, with basketball going back and forth between Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic, and Doug Christie.
I put my shoulders close to Chris Webber under the basket and kept pushing his space to keep him behind me and away from the basketball.
Overhead ball!
Chris Webb suddenly retreated, Mike Bibby raised his big hand, an overhead ball, I twisted my waist, took a step back, I shouted, clinging to Chris Webber jumped up, hooked his right hand, and raised his left hand up, feeling a bit of the meaning of "nine days and the moon" in martial arts, and the basketball was firmly controlled in my hand.
I stealed,
Chris Webb shook his head and slowly stepped back into the backcourt.
There was jubilation on the bench, with Doug Collins clapping, Alexander shaking a towel and Tyrone Roux and Christian Leitner banging their chests in celebration.
"Kwame Brown broke the ball, it's beautiful!" A beautiful break sparked Barkley's enthusiasm again, "Two people were wrapping up the opponent's ace players before they used to go around the front defense, and Kwame Brown did it alone, and Kwame Brown told us that he could defend all the inside lines 1-on-1 on this court, yes, all the inside lines, even Chris Webb. ”
Adelman, frowning, weighing what had just happened, was it an accident? Or is it deliberately arranged by the other party? Could it be that a big man of 211 cm really has the strength to defend the opponent's interior line around the front?
Adelman, take a long breath, take a look for a moment, believe Chris, believe this former Michigan Five Tigers, this former nnetbsp; At 48:43, Jordan broke through Peja's defense, faced Chris Webb's eye-level defense, and easily hit a layup.
The Kings are back.
With my first experience, I was more confident and firmly pushed Chris Webb into the corner away from the basketball side, limiting the space in which he could receive the ball, and leaving the rest to Etan Thomas.
Chris Webber, clearly unwilling to be outside the team's tactical system, constantly impacted my defense with strength and degree, constantly changing his position.
I gritted my teeth and persevered, constantly giving myself psychological hints: you are the core, I am a blue-collar worker, it doesn't matter if I run to death, see if I run to your death, what will the Kings do.
Overhead ball,
Another overhead ball, Chris Webb pushed me forward with both hands, and he immediately stepped back, jumped high, and caught the ball...
"Tick!"
The referee's whistle blew again, stepping on the line.
I've pushed Chris Webb off the basket and he's stepped back with one foot clearly out of bounds.
I succeeded again, albeit with a certain element of luck.
At the end of the first half, the Wizards entered the second half with a 9-point lead at 56:47. Chris Webb was completely absent in the final stages of the second quarter.
