Chapter 175: Is it reasonable to shoot three points?
After the start of the game in Emerica, the sports channel of Huaguo Radio and Television, including Zhang Weiping, three employees sat in the studio.
They discussed before the game that the Wizards would face a Finals team like the Magic as soon as they came up, and the probability of winning was very slim.
Even Reasonable Bryant has no problem with this, because judging from the team's lineup, these two teams are really not at the same level.
Even if Arenas is still around, the Wizards may not be able to beat the Magic, let alone the team boss now.
And Howard's violent clasp of both hands made Zhang Weiping's heart sink directly to the bottom.
Zhang Weiping sighed, "This Andre Blache doesn't seem to be able to stop Howard at all." ”
Because of Yao Ming, Huaguo, from the dismissal to the fans, almost didn't look down on Howard's jumping model
Howard met Yao Ming and was deflated again and again, which further deepened the fans' impression of Howard bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and relying on his body to play.
And that's exactly what happened.
In Howard's prime, he was able to rely on his body to average 20+10 and 2 blocks per game, but his interior skills may not be as good as some role players.
This is also the reason why it is not easy for him to play every time he encounters Yao Ming, who is stable and tall inside, but as long as he has a little skill, even if he has a little, he will not be beaten so embarrassed.
However, it is such a guy who plays by his body in the eyes of Chinese fans, and he is not something that any center can deal with.
For example, Blatch can't do anything about Howard.
Howard's physical endowment is too good, Bradge is only a second-round show after all, how can he resist the champion with the body of a monster.
In the studio, Su Qun on the side continued, "If Li Kaiming helped, Blatch would be much easier, but Li Kaiming's Lewis three points against him couldn't be put at all, which was more difficult......"
There was silence in the studio, and Zhang Weiping and Su Qun got all the approvals.
In the end, Zhang Weiping spoke, "Let's take a look, this is the first goal in the opening game." ”
Off the court, Bracy picked up the ball from the baseline and sent it to point guard Sinrich.
In fact, this Hinrich is not from a good place, he was the 7th pick in the 2003 draft, and he was selected by the team with a lottery pick in the top three draft years in history, which shows that his level is not bad.
Last season, he averaged 11 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game, which is decent for statistics, but being a starting point guard for a team is a bit inadequate.
But the basic work of the defender Hinrich is still good, and he is very calm after dribbling through the half.
When Jamil Nelson, the point guard on the opposite side, arrived at his own backcourt, he immediately took a step forward and glanced back a few times to prevent the Wizards from coming out to cover.
But who knew that after Hinrich arrived in the front court, he passed the ball without hesitation at all, which made Nelson look stupid!
What do you mean? A point guard passes the ball over half-court?
The Wizards gave the ball to the new champion in the first round, which made the audience a little excited!
It's a mule or a horse, and it's finally time to pull it out for a walk!
And this scene also made many Chinese fans who were in front of the TV sit up straight!
Li Kaiming received the ball outside the three-point line and faced Rashad Lewis, who on the opposite side seemed to have done a lot of work before the game, and let Li Kaiming take a step outside the three-point line to prevent himself from being one-stepped.
At the same time, the rest of the Magic team also paid attention to this side, and Howard reached out to block Blatche, while turning his head to look at Li Kaiming outside the three-point line, ready to make up for the defense.
Richardson, who was on the same side as Lewis, also quietly moved his foot into the three-point line, so that he could close the door directly when Li Kaiming started.
This strong defensive mobilization ability is worthy of the team that has broken into the finals.
Seeing that the players on the court implemented their defensive strategies before the game so resolutely, next to the Magic bench, a tall fat man with glasses nodded with satisfaction.
This is the current head coach of the Orlando Magic, Stan Van Gundy, and a coach who is very good at building a defensive system.
Stan Van Gundy fans may not be familiar with Huaguo, but when it comes to his younger brother Jeff Van Gundy, Chinese fans must be no stranger.
Van Gundy is the second head coach of Yao Ming's NBA career, leading the team to the playoffs three times in four years, but his rigid and inflexible brain has also made Rockets fans resentful.
Stan Van Gundy is the elder brother, and his resume can naturally say to Van Gundy, "You are a younger brother!" ”
After all, he led the Magic to the Eastern Conference Finals for two consecutive years, and reached the Finals once, which is naturally not a level compared to his younger brother who is constantly in the first round.
The most amazing thing is that the fate of these two brothers is inextricably linked to the position of center, the elder brother has coached O'Neal and Howard, and the younger brother has coached Yao Ming.
Stan Van Gundy was very confident in his pre-game set-up, having seen all the footage of Lee Kaiming's summer league and preseason games, and he could have a thorough knowledge of the latter, and as long as the Magic players followed his defense, tonight's victory would only be in their pocket.
Lewis, who was sent by Van Gundy to defend Li Kaiming, was actually very disdainful of Van Gundy being so wary of a rookie.
He averaged 20 points per game at his peak, and the supersonic twin stars formed by Ray Allen were in the limelight for a while, and he also made the All-Star.
So his evaluation of Van Gundy's tactics is only four words, and the question is a big deal!
So when Li Kaiming came up and took the ball from Hinrich's hand, Lewis immediately stretched out his long arm to cover it.
He wants to let the coach know that he is an All-Star and that he doesn't need help defending a rookie!
Li Kaiming held the ball and observed the situation and found that his teammates were almost all under the defense of the opposite side.
In fact, the space of the Wizards team is not good, there are only two guards with baskets, Arenas and Nick Young, and the rest of the front line and interior line are some who can only stare when they are out of the restricted area.
Therefore, the Magic's defense is also very targeted, and those who defend Nick Young will not leave an inch, while the other defenders are ready to help defend at any time.
Li Kaiming understands that at this time, he can only rely on him to open a breakthrough, if he really plays according to the tactics, the opportunity is in the hands of others, then I am afraid that the other side wants to see the most.
Lewis has enough space for him to shoot directly, and he has to cause damage to the opposite outside line before he can break through.
Thinking about this, Li Kaiming suddenly raised the ball before Lewis could react, and then jumped on the spot and made a three-point shot!
Li Kaiming's shooting posture is a standard jump shot, coupled with his height and long arms, Lewis couldn't reach it if he wanted to defend it, so he had to watch Li Kaiming shoot three-pointers, and at the same time prayed in his heart that the ball would not be scored.
And Stan Van Gundy saw this scene, but he grinned directly!
The guy is still too young, you will throw it if you have a chance, do you have the ability to throw it in?
In the Huaguo studio, Zhang Weiping and several people were also confused by Li Kaiming's operation, because in their opinion, Li Kaiming neither played tactics nor went to the inside line after receiving the ball, but waited in place for a few seconds and threw it directly!
Su Qun's face was a little unpleasant, "Why is Li Kaiming coming here?" As soon as he came up, he played by himself, and he shot the three points that he was not good at! What's going on? ”
No one answered him, because no one else could figure it out.
Even Zhang Weiping, who is the best at forcibly reasonable, is difficult to make excuses and reasonableness for Li Kaiming.
Because this goal is not very reasonable even from the perspective of ordinary fans.
The basketball spun and flew out from Li Kaiming's fingertips, with a very high arc, and along a perfect parabola, it was poured into the basket with a bang!
2 to 3!
The smile on Van Gundy's face froze.
The sound decibel count of the Amway Center fell off a cliff in that instant!
In the Huaguo studio, the three dismissors were stunned for a second, and then suddenly shouted in unison.
"Good shot!"
Zhang Weiping picked up the old business again, "Li Kaiming's ball is very reasonable, Arenas is not there, he has to come by himself!" ”
Su Qun: ......
Why did you go here in the morning?
