Chapter 11 Blocking and Demolition

Some people say that basketball is all about pick-and-roll.

This sentence is certainly not comprehensive, but it is enough to show the importance of blocking and pick-and-roll in basketball tactics.

The Utah Jazz were known for their pick-and-rolls.

Whether it's the Utah Twins, or the later Chubby Delonga anti-bone Boozer, blocking and pick-and-roll has always been their tactical signature.

As the league's players become more and more capable of projection, the use of pick-and-roll is also increasing.

Relatively speaking, pick-and-roll tactics have not been very valued by the Lakers.

Because there are too many superstars in the history of the Lakers.

In the 80s, he played show time fast attack, and he ran his opponent to death in one run.

Later, the big sharks O'Neal and Kobe Bryant didn't need to block and dismantle.

The triangle attack gives them a chance to play alone, and they can solve the problem.

So Kobe Bryant rarely plays pick-and-roll.

At his peak, he was able to attract two or three defenders alone.

You don't need a teammate to cover and block people at all.

One more person comes over, but one more defender is brought in.

But now Kobe Bryant no longer has the ability to eat any defensive opponent.

The skills in his hands are still perfect.

But his legs and feet were gone.

Can't shake off the defender.

You can't jump high enough to get the ball into it.

He needed someone to come and help him out of the space.

But the Lakers' pick-and-roll tactics really didn't play very well.

Hibbert only blocked and did not dismantle.

Randle will only take the ball and play alone, and will not block and cover at all.

His pick-and-rolls were all fake blocks and couldn't create space for Kobe.

Scott was helpless, and Kobe Bryant was powerless.

As a result, in this game against the Jazz, Kobe Bryant found that Wang Shuang was a very good blocking partner.

He is not very tall, but he has a thick body and broad shoulders, which is good material for blocking people.

And every time he blocks and dismantles, he is not in a hurry.

Unlike Randle, who hasn't blocked anyone yet, he wants to catch the ball and rush to the basket.

As a result, the opponent's defense was not affected at all.

It's the same as not blocking.

In the third quarter, the Lakers overtook the score.

By the fourth quarter, Bryant was completely open.

Scott can see that as long as Wang Shuang is there, even if he doesn't score, it will be a help to the Lakers.

Therefore, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Scott let Wang Shuangxiao rest for a while.

Then he was nailed to the field.

I won't let him go.

Wang Shuang made the ball for Kobe Bryant.

Steal a three-point once in a while.

While continuing his mental contamination on the defensive end.

The trash talk in the "Big Bird's Trash Talk Storage Bag" is really like a surging river, endless.

It's not just the Jazz players and coaches who will be attacked by Wang Shuang.

Even the fans at the scene greeted each other's families with Wang Shuang.

The privacy activities of both parties were evaluated and discussed.

Wang Shuang has lived in the United States for many years, and as a Chinese, he has been subjected to more unfair treatment and discrimination.

These monotonous verbal attacks by Yankees seemed to him no different from tickling.

And Wang Shuang has a prop bonus, and the one who scolds is called a pleasure.

Until the end of the game, the Lakers successfully reversed the Jazz with a 101-95, 6-point advantage.

On the way back to the locker room from the players' tunnel, Wang Shuang was still having in-depth and enthusiastic exchanges with Jazz fans.

And his heart has no waves, and he is already happy.

Won another game.

[Complete side quest 02 and get 50 reward system coins.] 1/1】

[Complete Hidden Mission 02 and get 30 reward system coins.] 1/1】

[Main quest completion: 4/100.] 】

Received 80 System Coins again.

This gives you 160 SysCoins.

It's one step closer to buying a rallying post with 500 pieces.

The Lakers' locker room was full of jubilation.

Bryant scored a team-high 23 points.

In the past, this statistic was an aberration for Kobe.

After all, the former Kobe Bryant was a man who "only" scored 40 points in a single game.

But this season, 23 points in a single game is already a high score for Kobe.

He made 22 shots, hit 9 balls and produced 13 pieces of iron.

And Wang Shuang is very efficient, hitting 2 goals in 3 shots, and both goals are 3 points.

He scored just six points in the game, but had five assists and nine rebounds.

5 of the 9 rebounds in the field.

You know, he only played half the game.

On top of that, he also caused three technical fouls for the Jazz.

Gobert, Jazz head coach and Hayward once each.

Players with such a good temper in Hayward were all provoked by Wang Shuang.

It's enough to show how terrible the [Big Bird's Trash Talk Storage Bag] is.

This TM is also a permanent item.

With this thing, Wang Shuang is really like a tiger.

This time, Kobe Bryant took the initiative to take Wang Shuang to the post-game press conference.

"Come on boy, we have cooperation on the field, and the same off the field."

Although the data is not conspicuous, Kobe Bryant knows that Wang Shuang is the one who will make a difference to the team.

On the court, Wang Shuangsao talked a lot, and the trash talk didn't stop all the time.

But when it came to the post-match interview, he became very humble.

There was even some silence.

When faced with reporters' questions, he answered concisely and to the point.

"You weren't on the floor in the first half, the Lakers were down by 24 points, you came on the court in the second half, the Lakers were over, what kind of changes did you make on the court for the team?"

"One more nationality."

"You've been playing against several teams before, and now you're finally doing well, what's the secret?"

"Train hard every day, and opportunities are only given to those who are prepared."

"Your next game is against the Houston Rockets, and you were with the Rockets for a short time before you were cut, what do you think about the next game?"

"We're going to win."

At the end of the Q&A, several reporters muttered that this guy was obviously not like this on the court.

His rambling trash talk shocked the reporters watching the game from the sidelines.

A Chinese, trash talk so slippery.

More authentic than some blacks who grew up in the slums.

Wang Shuang's side won another victory with the Lakers.

On the other side of the ocean, there are more fans who support Wang Shuang.

Correspondingly, there is support, and there is slander.

Supporters of Wang Shuang believe that he will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the NBA and become another Chinese player who has played well in the NBA.

The slander naturally felt that Wang Shuang was short-lived, and Wang Shuang's data was really inconspicuous.

He scored two three-pointers in the half, scored six points, and grabbed a lot of rebounds.

But no matter how he looks at his rebounds, it depends on luck.

He's not a center, so he can't pick up that many frontcourt rebounds every game.

It's hard for fans to experience the changes in the stadium in person.

It will not be clear about the mental strength, morale and other factors of the players.

I don't know that Wang Shuang inspired Kobe Bryant and inspired the whole team.

Otherwise, the Lakers will definitely lose this one.

Sitting on the special plane back to Los Angeles, Wang Shuangshen fell asleep.

He slept soundly and dreamed that he was wearing a Lakers jersey and lifting the O'Brien Cup.
