Chapter 896
Duck and Gobert prepare the jump ball near the middle circle.
In today's small ball era, traditional centers are on the decline, and in the current NBA teams, a large number of foreign centers are starting.Those American centers, many because of their inability to shoot, not have the quality of stable wings and screens, lost in the fierce competition.
At the start of the jump ball, Duck beat Gobert with the jump ball, and the Thunder took the lead in attacking.
Westbrook slowly dribbles over.
Defensively open is the Jazz this year's rookie Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell graduated from the University of Louisville. In this year's draft, he was selected by the Jazz with the 13th pick in the first round (the pick came from the Nuggets trade).
Ke Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, do you know a joke on the Internet?"
"What joke? Is it about Mitchell?"
Ke Fan nodded and said, "Yes. Netizens are saying, if you have the 13th pick in the first round and you really don't know how to choose, just choose a black shooting guard!"
Yang Yi immediately realized: "It's because of Kobe's relationship!"
"Well!" Ke Fan nodded and said, "Because Kobe is also the 13th pick, he retired. Netizens hope that the NBA team will choose the shooting guard at the 13th pick. It can be regarded as a kind of inheritance!"
Mitchell's official height is 191cm, but he gives Xie Kai the feeling that he is not 191cm!Apparently, the young man had lied about his height.
Xie Kai understands that in the NBA, in order to be able to play the position he likes, many players will falsely report their height.For example, this Mitchell may only be 185-188 in height, but if he wants to play the 2nd position, 191cm is considered basic.Those who are below this height will suffer on the defensive end, and the team will not even train you seriously, because the hardware talent is only a piece short.After all, not everyone is AI.
Mitchell was pretty steady in the game, sticking to Xie Kai and not letting him catch the ball.For him, how lucky he was to be able to match up with the strongest No. 2 in the league in his rookie season.
The Thunder's tactics are not much different from last season. Patterson's role is the role of the Turks last season. On the offensive end, he is mainly responsible for opening up space and looking for opportunities to shoot 3-pointers.
The duck egg came up to cover, and Wei Shao burst out the pickled peppers in the bottom corner.
Pickle catches the ball and rushes to Ingles, but misses a jumper with a step back!
Gobert closed the board and handed it to Rubio to advance.
Rubio was called the "golden boy" back then, with blond hair, handsome face and elusive passing, he stole the limelight in the 2008 BJ Olympics.
But now 9 years have passed, and he has quietly tied up his whip and grown a beard. He looks like a middle-aged man, and the changes in his image give people a sense of déjà vu, the hero of the Titanic Leonard.
After playing 6 seasons with the Timberwolves, he was traded by the team on July 7 this year, and the bargaining chip was a first-round pick.
In China, Rubio has many nicknames, "Lu Yuanwai" and "Lu Yizhong", but no one calls him Golden Boy anymore.He is also 27 years old. In 3 years, he will be an old man in his thirties. Time flies!
Rubio was born in the wrong era.His pass organization skills are rare talents even in NBA history, and he also has good defensive ability, which is the Spanish version of Kidd.But the problem is that in today's era, his shooting shortcomings have greatly reduced his tactical effect. The opponent's defense against him is the same as against Rondo. The offense is often 4 on 5, which is embarrassing.
上赛季在森林狼，他场均可以贡献11.1分4.1个篮板9.1次助攻1.7个抢断，投篮命中率是40.2%，3分球命中率是30.6%。
If you just look at the statistics, although the shooting is a bit solid, the assists and steals are awesome! 27 years old is at the peak age, shouldn't it only be worth a first round!But the problem is that his trade value is only a first-round deal, and it's still a protected one.
Not only does Rubio not have 3 points, but he is also unreliable in the mid-range. Last game was the first time in the past five seasons that he shot more than 5% from the field. As for the 4-point percentage, it seems that 3% is not Especially bad, but you must know that the opponent is completely emptying him, and his output is extremely low. He can only make 3 0.8-pointers per game, and he cannot change the opponent's defense.
After arriving at the Jazz, Lu Yizhong does not need to completely organize the offense by him. Ingles exists as a point forward, and he is another important organizer of the team.
It is not that the Jazz have not received high-ranked rookies over the years, but after Deron, they have indeed never obtained the kind of superstar who can serve as the core of the championship team.Originally, Hayward was okay, but this kid went to Boston to join his university mentor in the summer.
On the Jazz side, Favors hit Patterson hard, and the hook was interfered by a duck egg-missed!
The Thunder received the backcourt rebound and made a transition, and Westbrook also missed a forced layup.
The two teams didn't feel good at the beginning. After almost 3 minutes of play, both sides scored 2 points only by free throws.
Westbrook came over with a dribble, and Xie opened his waist and turned his back to get a position.
Mitchell was completely stuck behind Xie Kai with his strength and figure. He tried to go around, but failed.
Westbrook lobs the ball to Xie Kai!
Xie got the ball, leaned against Mitchell with his back, shook in place, and then sat with his back and the ball.
Mitchell is not tall, but his strength and tonnage are not bad, and his center of gravity is low. It is not so easy for Xie Kai to run into it.
It's just that Xie Kai's purpose wasn't to run into it. He leaned on him, turned back and made a fake move, then turned forward one after another, took off, and pulled out his hand dryly.
Mitchell was a little confused by Xie Kai's fake action. The opponent's rhythm was great. He couldn't cover this kind of take-off shot, and he didn't even have a chance to interfere.
Xie Kai's jumper hit!
The Thunder lead 4:2!
Ke Fan laughed and said, "Thank you, this is the first NBA lesson for a rookie guard!"
Yang Yi said: "Teaching by precepts and deeds, although he is an opponent, for Mitchell, this kind of opportunity to learn is much more useful than watching Xie Kai highlights for a day."
For the Jazz, Lu Yizhong was emptied in the mid-range. He still tried to throw a shot, but the result disappointed him.
Xie Kai closed the board, pushed forward by himself, faced Mitchell, and when the opponent's defensive formation was not fully set up, he changed direction and accelerated his right hand, using the change of rhythm during the march, leaning on the opponent, and went to the basket with one foot Take off, switch to the left hand, hit the board into the frame!
Xie Kai scored 4 points in a row, and the Thunder led 6:2!
Ke Fan said: "I wonder if the Jazz need to attack in advance, and let the rookie Mitchell single-handedly defend Xie, it is really equivalent to setting the fire on fire."
Yang Yi said with a smile: "It's a precious asset for rookies to have a barbecue! Hahaha..."
