Chapter 162: Nyx's "Achilles' Heel" (Part II)
As a player who has often been in the top five in assists, the reason why Davis has not been able to make the leap from good to top ranks is because of his passing consistency.
As a good head coach, he sometimes picks people who would rather pick players he knows and likes than more artistic All-Star caliber stars.
Why? It's because there will always be too much unreasonableness in the stars.
For example, a complete offense is carried to the front court by the point guard. After falling into positional battles, he will choose to make tentative breakthroughs to attract his opponent's pockets. The average PG will immediately follow the tactics to find players who are open after blocking without the ball and hand them over with difficulty, while those artists will not, they will get closer to the basket, they will look forward to close contact with defenders, and even be willing to let opponents who have lost their defensive positions fall back into position.
Then, you'll see a gorgeous arc across everyone's heads and into the hands of those who have already flown up. After playing like this twice, the artist would suddenly throw the back of his head when he broke through again, because he knew that there would be someone there, and he knew that he was handsome in his passing posture. Kidd during the Nets, Nash during the Suns, and Byron Davis, regardless of which team, all have such a little bit of artistry.
Organizational defenders who really have strong command and judgment skills are more inclined to pursue precision. If you're accurate from beyond the three-point line, you'll see the ball whenever you're in an open spot; If you have a crosshair at 15-20 feet, then you take a step back from the block and you will find the ball coming; Don't worry if you don't shoot, jump into the sky and the ball will find you. Such great examples are like Paul, who is a thrower, and Rondo, who is a big statistic. Even today, Jeremy Lin's opponent, Calderon.
There's also a playmaking guard whose overly sharp offense gives them more shots. Just like Ross and Westbrook. often struggles with his heart at the moment of passing the ball, as if he has lost part of his soul when he hands over the ball. The two of them are definitely angels with broken wings in their previous lives, and they only hate that they have grown ten centimeters less, otherwise they must be waiting for the guard to give him the ball in the shooting position at this moment. Since God is jealous of talents, then simply come by yourself. So you'll see them on the field carrying explosives bags again and again, pushing the team on their shoulders and rushing to the enemy's bunker.
Jeremy Lin, on the other hand, apparently failed to reach any of the three heights.
It is said that Jeremy Lin has a high IQ, but according to unreliable statistics, the IQ of NBA basketball players is around 85, why do you say that Xiaolinzi's value of more than 200 is used?
Have a big picture? This is definitely a mystical word. Jeremy Lin's so-called big picture is that he likes to make dangerous passes, which means that the receiver can get a direct chance to score. But this kind of passing must be based on great wrist or arm skills.
The reason why Rondo's statistics are high is because there are three elders next to him who can adjust the shooting posture back at various angles!
The truth is: teammates who need to bend down to catch the ball or jump up to catch the ball. Their shooting succession after that will definitely suffer.
is like the combination of Liu Wei + Yao Ming that the Chinese national team has always thought. I dare to say responsibly that 50% of Yao Ming's retirement was due to Liu Wei's passing, and his knee was ruined by helplessly jumping up and catching the ball again and again.
Therefore, Wang Xiaomu is very dissatisfied with Jeremy Lin's passing ability and quality.
This is also evident in the Knicks' own players, Stoudemire has not played a rush in the Knicks, in fact, he was spoiled by Nash back then. When he was with the Suns, Stoudemire ran like crazy on the court, as long as he stopped. The ball will fall into your own hands. So at that time he was more like a track and field athlete.
But when it came to the Knicks, everything started from scratch, and Xiao Si, who was used to eating fine grains. The natural water and soil are not adapted, and the upper and lower drains.
Jeremy Lin, who was the focus of his opponents, made consecutive mistakes in the third quarter, and in the choice of passing and breaking, he was caught by the pigtails of the old Calderon.
Calderón played a decent game, to be honest. Although he is new to the NBA, he is a little tired of this more performance-oriented Vanity Fair. If you want to be in the Euroleague back then, he is a character who wants wind and rain. The driver of the gods, Parker and others didn't pay attention to it at all, but when he arrived in the NBA, he was not as good as a college student who suddenly broke out and couldn't even play as a substitute, which made Uncle Carl often depressed.
So in the second half, after the coach formulated the tactic of strangling the defenders, Calderon executed it very thoroughly, and his face was almost close to Jeremy Lin's face.
Jeremy Lin forced Calderon and was squeezed out, he tried to pass the ball, and Calderon was again blocked from the angle. The great international-level defender was close to Jeremy Lin the moment he stopped the ball, blocking all angles of Jeremy Lin.
Kobayashi was forced to use his most accustomed jumping pass, which has always been taboo on the basketball court. The Raptors cut the ball off, and DeRozan stormed to the basket with a burst of smoke.
The depressed Jeremy Lin organized an attack again, this time he chose to force a breakthrough, but he got a fierce bag from the Raptors inside, Banyani played a performance worthy of his own value, strangled Xiao Linzi's forward route, and DeRozan appeared behind him at some point, and the three Raptors surrounded him like dumplings.
With poor line of sight, Kobayashi tried to pass to Anthony, who was waiting on the outside. It's a pity that the power of this ball pluck is too great, the angle is too off, and Anthony uses a flying pounce action, so he has no choice but to watch the ball pass out of bounds.
Under normal circumstances, this is the rhythm of replacing Jeremy Lin. I don't know why, Wang Xiaomu didn't make a decision to replace him for a long time.
Jeremy Lin peeked at the coach in the coach's box, Wang Xiaomu was slamming his finger at him, and then a clear command came into his ears.
"You have to crawl out of the pit yourself, don't expect anyone to save you!"
Wang Xiaomu made this decision with bitterness, and it is true that the team's current luxury configuration is weak in organizing defenders. Attacking defender Paul George is more than enough to meet the team's needs, and with concubines and shampoos, Anthony's strength has turned the team's offensive guard into a dispensable shadow character.
But playmaking guard is the Knicks' fatal injury. Jeremy Lin is obviously a small horse-drawn cart at the moment, and with a displacement of 2.0, can he push the Knicks as a luxury yacht?
The answer is definitely no.
Therefore, Wang Xiaomu wants to try his best to shorten Jeremy Lin's maturity period.
