Chapter 393: The Reason Why Nash Was Replaced by Ginobili

(Thank you, yesterday everyone's monthly pass was too powerful, so that the fisherman rose directly from the eighth place to the fifth, although the gap between the fisherman and the next few books is only a few votes, but the fisherman is also extremely happy, thank you, the fisherman loves you (it feels like a little numb), yesterday in the book review area there was a book friend suggested that the fisherman broke out when asking for a monthly pass, in fact, the fisherman has been breaking out in the past half a month, the fisherman has been breaking out recently basically every day at 11000 and 12000, of course, If there is no accident today, the fisherman will still update 12000, and finally ask for a monthly pass, the more monthly passes, the better, and finally thank you)

The Minnesota Timberwolves were slow to play their first offense in the opening game, and the same is true for the Boston Celtics today, and the Boston Celtics rarely have that kind of offense in the game, which is actually different from the style of Coach Z who came to the NBA.

In the past, as long as the NBA mentioned the style of Coach Z's team, basically everyone would say two words, one is fast, the other is accurate, this style is almost the logo of Zhuang Fei in the NBA, but this logo did not show at the beginning of this game.

"Tracy, catch"

Even James Posey, who is now in possession of the ball, is a little bit learning what Ginobili just meant, but the defender did not hand the ball directly to the inside after halftime, but to Maddie who was 45 degrees on the left flank, which was what he meant when he was ready to let Maddy attack.

After distributing the ball to Maddy, the guard quickly moved from the top of the arc to the right 45-degree three-point line. Jackson, who was originally 45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right side, went to the bottom corner on the right side.

This position is very clear, the side with the ball or the strong side below the 45-degree three-point line on the left side are only Maddie in the three-point line and Yao Ming in the three-point line, and everyone else is on the off-ball side on the other side, that is, the weak side, which is to completely open up space for Maddie and Yao Ming.

Just now, Wang Zhizhi's beautiful and iconic sky hook obviously made the Boston Celtics players sympathize with Yao Ming, and the goal just now seemed to them that Yao Ming's defense was in place, but even so, Wang Zhizhi could still score that was a little provocative, so Yao Ming had to save face for this goal.

"I'm not going to let you pass this ball," Pierce was also nervous after seeing himself and his old enemy Maddie face off. If there is anyone else in the league who is the small forward he fears the most, then the one in front of him is definitely in the first place, of course. Now Pierce no longer regards Carter as his enemy, because the two are not of the same level, and Pierce has taken this lightly. However, for Maddy, the Timberwolves' small forward sees him as a substitute for Carter, and he will suffer a little bit against the young man in front of him at any time before, and this time he doesn't want to lose in front of his mentor Zhuang Fei.

"Really?" Maddie gave Pierce a light glance before moving.

Soon, Maddie really quickly dribbled under his crotch in the face of Pierce's close attention, and then turned around with a pretended back outside the three-point line in place, and sure enough, Peel took a step back, and at this moment, Maddie suddenly passed the ball out of his back, and the ball quickly bounced up after hitting the ground under Pierce's crotch, and fell to Yao Ming's hand as accurately as an eye.

"What a great pass"

Pierce was also stunned by this somewhat unexpected pass. Then I instantly felt that there was something abnormal in my crotch, and subconsciously tightened my legs. This is what Carter used to play a lot, but at that time Carter was in a multi-person bag, surrounded by people, and could only pass the ball from the enemy's step. And this time it was clear that Maddie was the only one around, and if it was just for passing, he didn't have to play so hard and fancy. …,

"Hmph" After thinking of this, Pierce, who was still a little amazed by this pass just now, also had a strong anger in his heart, this is Maddie's humiliation of his nakedness, just like playing football, he can pass the defender with one acceleration, but he has to play cycling. For this kind of player, whether it is playing basketball or football, it is very annoying for defensive players.

It's just that at this time, Maddie was immersed in her gorgeous performance just now, and didn't care about Pierce's devouring eyes at this time.

"Beautiful back pass crotch hit, Maddie's recent style of play is getting more and more elegant, especially his pass, in terms of gorgeousness, compared to the Mavericks' Jason Williams, it is not bad, especially this kind of back pass from the opponent's crotch to the ground, the fire is very good" Michaels, the ABC commentator in the stands of the target center, his eyes lit up instantly after seeing this pass, it is obvious that this commentator likes this kind of pass very much, so he does not hesitate to compare him with white chocolate, You must know that the current white chocolate is the league's top gorgeous master, the guard who had a conflict with Mobley this summer and was finally sent to the Mavericks, but this year's Mavericks and Nowitzki partnered to set off a youth storm.

"It's a beautiful ball, but I don't think Coach Z will like it," McHale on the side also smiled slightly after listening to Michaels' praise and said to Michaels.

"Why?" Michaels had some questions, but to Michaels' disappointment, McHale didn't answer his questions, but looked at the Boston Celtics bench with a little thought.

As McHale imagined, Zhuang Fei did not have a trace of joy on his face after seeing Maddie's pass, but became a little dark, and it was obvious that Zhuang Fei did not have any expression of amazement at the ball.

"Coach, young people like to show off like this, Carter used to be like this, isn't it better now" Seeing Zhuang Fei's iron face, Stephen Green, who was naturally like a mirror, hurriedly explained to Zhuang Fei that he was too familiar with this scene, when Carter practiced 'passing' successfully, he also liked to show off his skills, and he knew very well that his coach didn't like it very much. Now I have to play like this. It's just that even if Green explained to Maddie, Zhuang Fei snorted coldly and stopped talking. In the end, Green also sighed helplessly.

Maddie now finds the joy of passing, which is the first step to becoming an organizational striker, but in the same way, the small forward has also begun to slowly deviate, and began to seek the so-called gorgeous to please himself, which is definitely not what Zhuang Fei wants. So Zhuang Fei's first thought when he saw this pass was.

This bastard is still under-trained.

However, for such a player, although the opponent on the court and the coach off the court do not like it, the fans on the sidelines are extremely appreciative, and this game is not so important to Timberwolves fans who loses and who wins. They were more interested in enjoying a good game and it was clear that it started well.

Therefore, in the exclamation of the Timberwolves fans in the audience, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi faced each other.

In fact, Wang Zhizhi understands Yao Ming's characteristics very well. He knew what his weakness and the opponent's weakness were, so the moment Yao Ming received the ball, Wang Zhizhi made a dark effort in his lower body, and then almost let Yao Ming, who received the ball, stand unsteadily and cause him to walk.

In terms of strength, Wang Zhizhi is much stronger than Yao Ming, although Yao Ming has intensified in the summer in order to adapt to the NBA's confrontation, but in order to maintain his flexible characteristics, the center has not added much, which is a difference between the two in terms of body shape compared with Wang Zhizhi, who has been mixed in the NBA for more than two years. It's just that this time Wang Zhizhi was a little surprised that Yao Ming actually took advantage of this unstable standing momentum to directly break through Wang Zhizhi, and then the Celtics' center dribbled directly to the Timberwolves' basket. …,

At this time, Garnett and Wang Zhizhi behind him also caught up, just when Garnett blocked his way under the basket and Wang Zhizhi caught up, the young Chinese rookie directly deceived Garnett in front of him into flying up with a few virtual and real half-turned steps under the basket, and after seeing Garnett fly. The Chinese rookie made a strong move and dodged Garnett's flying slam dunk with both hands.

When the Timberwolves fans at the scene saw this scene, they all lost their voices again, if Wang Zhizhi's Tiangou last time was slightly difficult, it was expected, but this time the performance of this Yao Ming was completely unexpected, you must know that the Timberwolves' inside line is known as the strongest in the league. Last season, the league's No. 1 center O'Neal played to death, even if Xiao Ao left this inside line, he was the league's top first-class, but judging from this offense, the Chinese young rookie directly relied on his breakthrough skills and basket footsteps to play Wang Zhizhi and Garnett one after another. For a while, all the Timberwolves fans on the scene were a little difficult to accept this fact.

Not to mention these Timberwolves fans, even Zhuang Fei and Van Gundy on the sidelines were stunned for a long time.

"It seems that he really wants to win Wang Zhizhi in this game" Zhuang Fei smiled slightly in his heart after looking at the back on the sidelines, and at this time, the displeasure brought to him by Maddie in front of him also disappeared.

"Kevin. That's what you've always said about a player who learns to be smarter than Garnett? Michaels on the commentary bench also looked at Yao Ming with some surprise, in his impression that the first player who can single out the Timberwolves inside is Duncan, the second is O'Neal, and the third is this Chinese rookie, although now it seems that this rookie is not a level worse than the other two, but it is obvious that he has shown some aspects of talent.

"How is it, it's very good" McHale also said with a smile after hearing Michaels's exclamation, at the beginning when Zhuang Fei asked him to accept this Chinese as a disciple, he was still reluctant, and then after seeing this Chinese's basketball IQ and basketball talent, this Celtics celebrity, one of the best players in NBA history, also began to rejoice in his decision, in the past, the Boston legend inside line has always only had Garnett's disciple, But Garnett's basketball talent is too strong, and he is not satisfied with just learning to basket foot, he hopes for balanced development in all aspects, McHale's basket step is only one of the many aspects he wants to learn, in this case Garnett naturally cannot inherit his mantle, so after meeting Yao Ming, the general manager of the Celtics really poured all his heart and soul into this Chinese, and the growth of the Chinese young man in those months also shocked him, So the general manager of the Timberwolves has always boasted to his friends that he has taught a good apprentice, and Yao Ming is now gaining a foothold in the NBA. McHale also felt that he had a lot of face.

"Yes, it's really amazing" Seeing that McHale next to him looked like a 'famous teacher', Michales also sighed sincerely, this is indeed what he said in his heart.

"Yao, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and I've forgotten your characteristics, this time I'm careless, you won't have such a good opportunity in the future"

Garnett patted Yao Ming's shoulder a little depressedly and said with a smile, this ball was indeed his carelessness. In the past, no matter how Yao Ming played with Xiao Ao, but in the end, he would still be very well guarded against him, and as Yao Ming's nominal senior brother, he knew Yao Ming very well.

It's just that Garnett is a little embarrassed. At this time, Yao Ming didn't pay attention to him at all, but stared at Wang Zhizhi with dead eyes, which made Garnett keep muttering in his heart. This little guy is too dismissive. …,

This is just the beginning of this game, both teams are playing their own inside center in unison, this is not because of the league's 'Chinese Derby' gimmick, but for the positional offensive team to play the inside line is the first choice, as for whether to give the ball to the center or the big forward needs to look at the situation at the time, and the situation at this time is that Garnett and Xiao Ao are too fierce, and the relative combination of Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming looks very loose.

It's just that these somewhat coincidental ways of playing between the two teams make the country on the other side of the world extremely excited, for them they also don't care about the outcome of this game, they only care about what kind of play the two players in their own country can have, although they are now boasting a little fluttering by the CCAV. But they all know that they are not the boss of the team in their own country. It is unknown how many scenes these two have, but it is obvious that from the opening stage, the role of these two in this game is definitely not low.

Van Gundy was a little surprised by Yao Ming after seeing the Boston Celtics' offense, but he was also relieved, and the team that came from afar seemed to be determined to fight with him to defend and attack. This is the best news for him, in Van Gundy's opinion, there is basically no one who can beat the Timberwolves in the same game rhythm, you must know that even the Grizzlies, who are known as the strongest defense, were ground to death by themselves on their home court in the last game.

"Hmph, you're very good at attacking, and I'm not as good as you in this regard, but you actually want to fight with me in this game. It's too self-conscious, I'll grind you to death in this game," Van Gundy thought viciously after glancing at Zhuang Fei on the side. At the same time, his strategy for this game is also largely decided

So when he thought of this, the head coach of the Timberwolves immediately arranged to his assistant Tin Foil Du, and then Tin Foil Du listened to Van Gundy's arrangement and shouted to the court, and it was best for everyone to find that the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm was even slower.

For such a change, Zhuang Fei was a little surprised again, this guy also attaches too much importance to defense, at this time Zhuang Fei couldn't help but think.

It's just that at this time, no one noticed the dark expression of Nash on the Timberwolves' bench when he saw the changes on the team, and the slower the team, the less he was needed.

"Do I really have to leave?" At this time, Nash felt a little sad in his heart

Of course, everyone was watching the game on the court at this time, and no one cared about what Nash was thinking at the moment, even his closest teammates.

"This game is too suffocating, I have never seen this kind of beauty, I admit, for many people, the beauty of basketball lies in the offense is in the continuous scoring, the sound of hitting the net is very crisp and intoxicating, but this kind of pure fight between the two teams to fight against you cut a knife and I also knife the way of playing is also extremely blood-pumping, although this game seems to be a little slow so far, but it is not dull, the two teams have been executing in accordance with their established tactics, The technical and tactical quality of the game was very high, and the attention of the players of both teams was extremely concentrated."

Michaels looked at the rising scores on the pitch and said with some amazement, this is the first time he has seen such a style of play against an opponent in Coach Z's team, which makes him feel extremely fresh.

Similarly, the narrator's words were echoed by his partner McHale. This kind of game is indeed rarely seen again, the tactical execution of the two teams is simply against the sky, the Timberwolves used to be the league's No. 1 execution team when Zhuang Fei was there, even if Zhuang Fei left, but this tradition has not been lost, and the Boston Celtics now look very combative. It was a slow but exciting game, and so was the emotional feedback from the fans. …,

"There's no chance this time" Ginobili slowly dribbled the ball across the half court again and looked around but found that there was no point that could pass the ball, the Chinese coach on the sidelines was too familiar with this team, and he also knew the characteristics of each player on the court very well, and he was always able to grasp the defensive focus of this team, which made the Boston Celtics always be able to maintain an offensive and defensive balance with the Timberwolves in this game, which also made Ginobili have the idea of being more tired than the last game against the Grizzlies.

Recently, the pressure on Ginobili is actually very great, especially after replacing Nash, as a pure Timberwolves player, he is very aware of Nash's role and status in the team before, so when Van Gundy asked him to replace Nash, he was extremely worried, because he knew that he was not as good as Nash, at least he couldn't string the team's offense like Nash.

However, this does not mean that Ginobili has no ambitions, after seeing the Timberwolves' defense, the Argentine guard moved without the slightest hesitation at the top of the arc, and the Argentine deceived him with just an easy change of direction for Pippen James Posey in front, and then inserted directly into Boston's basket, almost leaning on the defense of Xiao Ao to complete a left-handed layup.

hit and tied it again at 18-18 with two minutes left in the first quarter.

And Zhuang Fei off the field was also a little emotional after seeing Ginobili's goal.

"No wonder Van Gundy made up his mind to replace Steve with Manu" (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
