Chapter 291 McGrady is preparing
After Van Gundy finished speaking, he stared straight at Xiao Ao, as if silently asking if he was willing to accept the challenge.
High position support is a classic routine of breaking the zone defense. The principle is to use one's own big players, involve the opponent's big players in defensive positions, and help other players of one's own side to clear the bottom line space, but there are certain requirements for one's own big players.
The most basic thing is to have a height advantage and mid-range shooting, and secondly, to have a passing ability.
If you can still break through with the ball and hit hard, it is a perfect configuration. The combination of three threats will make the defenders do not know how to deal with it.Therefore, when Gasol joined the Lakers, he quickly made the Lakers the favorite to win the championship.
Xiao Ao showed some hesitation on his face, and then said, "OK, I will make them pay the price."
Van Gundy glanced at Su Yang, and said leisurely: "Su, you go up and tear up their defensive formation."
Su Yang nodded quickly, knowing that Van Gundy asked him to help Xiao Ao. After all, since Xiao Ao left the Pacers, he had not been the core support for a long time. Even if he had trained before, he would be nervous in actual combat.
"DeAndre and Davis are off the court for the time being, Tracy, you are ready to go on the court..."
Van Gundy made another simple arrangement, followed by the sound of the whistle at the end of the timeout, and the game continued.
The announcer announced the rotation details loudly, and the audience stood up and applauded, cheering for Xiao Ao's first show.
The Clippers kicked off from the bottom line in the backcourt. Su Yang took the ball all the way across the center line, raised his hand and threw it to the top of the arc, and went straight to the left corner.
Xiao Ao received the ball with both hands raised high, scanned the defensive position in the half court, turned around and threw it to the right elbow.
Tucker jumped slightly to catch the ball, landed and grabbed it with one hand, while protecting sideways, he looked up to the left.At the same time, Su Yang walked the bottom line, with the help of Randolph's cover, crossed the paint area to the right waist, and raised his hand to signal.
Tucker made a sideways pass, then strode out and ran away to make room, Xiao Ao and others also moved to the left.
When a singles opportunity appeared, Su Yang put Kidd on his back, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, and continued to sit and hit.
Kidd didn't push it hard, but took the initiative to retreat close to the baseline, blocked it in advance, turned around and broke through the space, while Cardinal temporarily gave up on O'Neill, surrounded him from the other side of the paint area, and raised his right hand high to interfere with the passing line of sight. .
Suddenly, Su Yang noticed that Marion was also shrinking inward, and immediately raised his hand to hit the ground to pass the ball.
The basketball hit the floor, rebounded and flew to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and Tucker received the ball wide open.
Marion stepped back to the defense, Su Yang took a look at the half-court position, and shouted at Tucker: "For Jermaine..."
As soon as the words fell, Tucker also chose to hit the ground and pass the ball.
Jermaine O'Neal received the ball from the free throw line, facing the misplaced defense of Terry, he took off and made a mid-range shot without hesitation.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 21 to 20.
"Okay!" Su Yang started to run forward, and at the same time raised his hands and clapped his hands, calling on the audience to cheer for Xiao Ao.
"YEAH!" The audience on the sidelines understood and gave a standing ovation again, celebrating the first score of O'Neill's Clippers career.
On the Clippers bench, George whispered: "Byron, can you tell me how Jermaine helped the team just now? I didn't question him, but I didn't understand it. Su Yang asked me to learn from you how to organize .”
"Oh? Really?" Davis was pleasantly surprised, and continued after thinking for a moment: "First, Jermaine got the ball at the top of the arc. Although Chandler didn't follow, Su Yang rushed to the bottom corner and used Lando Husband and Gordon cover, creating a dislocation opportunity to face Chandler, and Chandler can't keep up with such a fast pace, which allows Su Yang to rush to the waist smoothly."
George nodded in response, and Davis continued: "Then Jermaine stayed at the free throw line and waited, causing Su Yang to attract double-teams. At the same time, someone had to look after him. The Mavericks arranged for Terry just now, which caused Gordon to be temporarily suspended." Let go..."
George suddenly realized something, and rushed to say: "So, just now, after Tucker received Su Yang's ground pass, he can pass it to Jermaine who is standing at the free throw line, or pass it to the other side with a 45-degree wide open. Gordon."
"Yes, this is the role of Jermaine. It's just that Su Yang instructed him to finish the mid-range shot. After all, the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. We don't need to grab points at the moment. By the way, let him have a sense of participation... "
Before Davis finished speaking, Cardinal of the Mavericks made a three-pointer and the basketball rebounded and flew high.
Chandler was four-on-one under the basket, jumped high and stretched out his long arms, and slapped the ball to the left sideline.
In doing so, it is obvious that he wants to prevent the fast break.
But Gordon watched the landing point, caught the basketball first, and made a long backhand pass to the right sideline.
Su Yang received the ball and rushed all the way to the right elbow of the frontcourt, raising his hand to signal the audience to come.
Auburn Jr. was going to step forward to cover, but when he saw the hand gesture, he quickly backed away, and the singles situation was formed again.
Su Yang slapped the ball hard to start, turned around and entered the paint.Kidd was a little slow to react, and Cardinal quickly moved laterally to intercept from the other side, but Su Yang jumped up forcefully, twisted his body in the air, and gave the ball to Xiao Ao with a low hand.
Xiao Ao took the ball and held it high. Seeing Chandler stepping up, he immediately divided the ball into the left corner.
Chandler hurriedly turned around to replay, but his feet were not fast enough, and Randolph had already jumped out of his hand to cast.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 23 to 20.
There were cheers in the arena, Kidd picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, rushing to send it to Marion.
The two were about to push for a fast break, the referee whistled to stop the game, and Carlisle of the Mavericks requested a short timeout.
Su Yang walked quickly to Xiao Ao's side, raised his hand and patted his shoulders as a sign of encouragement, and said with a smile: "Well done, your speed of adapting to the team's style of play is faster than I imagined, and I have foreseen that you will get The best sixth man trophy."
"That's Eric's goal, I'm a veteran..." Xiao Ao also smiled, his expression extremely relaxed.
The two walked back to the bench side by side, and George greeted him with a smile, and interacted with Su Yang with high fives.
"Boss, if you have time, teach me to practice the pass you just made, it's too hidden."
Su Yang nodded: "Actually, I also watch Kobe Bryant's video to learn. You have to remember that how to take off, turn around, and pass the ball is not the key point. The key point is to make the receivers ready to catch the ball, otherwise it will easily lead to mistakes."
"Then what should I do?"
"That requires a long-term chemical reaction. First of all, you can't be too independent. You have to learn to share the ball, understand?"
George nodded again and again, followed to Van Gundy's side, hands on hips to listen to the tactical arrangement.
"Paul, are you ready for your NBA debut?" Van Gundy asked with a smile.
George shrank his neck suddenly, and hurriedly said: "Of course, I can contribute to the team at any time!"
"Hahaha..." The Clippers laughed.
Su Yang raised his hand and patted George's shoulder, and said in his heart, "You're still quite stunned, you're so courageous."
George didn't realize it, and Van Gundy said again: "Why don't you replace Tucker later. In addition, Chris replaced Zach, and Nowitzki should be arranged on the opposite side. Jermaine, you have to pay attention to preventing him from receiving the ball. "
"Okay!" Xiao Ao's tone was firm, and the previous hesitation had quietly disappeared.
A few more simple arrangements, the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the game continued.
The announcer announced Ian Mahinmi for Tyson Chandler, Nowitzki for Cardinal, then raised his voice and yelled, "Paul George for Clippers for PJ Tucker, Chris Kaman for Zach Randolph."
"Wow..." Cheers rang out in the arena, and the audience stood up and applauded to welcome George's debut.
But George was quite low-key, even a little shy, and quickly ran to the court to take his position, but Kaman smiled and waved around the arena, barely stopping to shout: "Dear audience friends, I want to die you..."
The referee whistled and the Mavericks kicked off in the backcourt.
Kidd took the ball and took it all the way across the center line, and Mahinmi ran to the right 45 degrees early to set up a wall screen.At the same time, Nowitzki blocked Gordon with a wall in the left elbow area, and Terry took the opportunity to start from the bottom corner, stepping on the big stride and quickly lifting.
In the blink of an eye, Kidd moved the ball to the middle circle, stopped suddenly and raised his hand to throw it to the left.
Terry just arrived at the 45-degree three-point line on the left and reached out to catch the basketball. Seeing that Gordon bypassed the screen and chased it out, he directly pulled the ball in the opposite direction and walked to the sideline. Rush to the basket.
Xiao Ao switched defenses and chased, but lost his position in a blink of an eye, and Kaman quickly shrank and intercepted from the right.
The two, one in front and one behind, finally sealed the space for the layup, but Terry leaped high and passed the ball vigorously.
Marion received the wide-open ball from the right wing and raised it high to aim at the basket, while George was still looking at Terry and didn't have time to turn around.
Seeing this situation, Su Yang gave up on Kidd and swooped over from the top of the arc, hoping that George would defend Kidd in his heart.
As he expected, Marion stopped the action and gave up the shot, raised his hand and threw the ball to the top of the arc.
Turning his head and looking, George was still in place, as if suddenly stuck, Su Yang ran towards Kidd with small steps.
Unfortunately, it was too late, the basketball had already taken off and glided.
when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.
Kaman jumped high to catch the rebound, raised his hand and threw it to the left sideline, Gordon caught the ball and pushed forward.
The Clippers launched a fast break, but the Mavericks retreated very quickly, so they could only slowly organize on the ground.
Su Yang took the ball at the top of the arc. After observing for a while, he waved at the embarrassed George, thinking: "Just now this guy made a defensive mistake and lost his mind. I guess he will blame himself a little bit. It is necessary to give him a chance."
George hesitated for a moment, trotted up to catch the basketball, and slowly moved to the left half.
Su Yang stopped, shouted for cover, and then raised his hands to lead the audience to applaud.
The audience responded immediately, and the applause resounded through the arena instantly. Kaman also mentioned the 45-degree wall on the left.
Marion stepped up to grab it, and Mahinmi also stepped up to grab it, and suddenly double-teamed George.
"Give it to me, give it to me..." Su Yang shouted loudly, reminding George that he can resolve the double-team by splitting the ball.
Before the words fell, George jumped up, raised his hands, and threw the ball vigorously to the right corner.
Su Yang stepped up to catch the ball, took advantage of the momentum and sprinted into the paint, stopped abruptly and threw the ball to the top of the arc.
George just arrived and hurriedly caught the basketball, but his center of gravity lost his balance and almost fell, and he knelt down.
"Don't panic, don't panic, protect the basketball..." Su Yang stepped up and set up a human wall to block Marion.
George climbed up with one hand on the ground. Seeing Kidd attacking head-on, he quickly moved the ball to the right wing.
Seeing this, Su Yang turned around and cut in, raised his hand to indicate that he could pass the ball, and George immediately hit the ground vigorously to pass the ball.
"Fuck, this job can..."
Su Yang was amazed in his heart. He easily received the basketball and stepped forward. Seeing that Nowitzki was determined to intercept, he decisively fused the ball and made a European step.
Nowitzki failed to block the shot, the basketball slammed into the net, and the Clippers were 25 to 20.
Su Yang turned around on the ground and raised his hand to signal to George. The audience cheered and applauded for the two.
The Mavericks launched a fast break, and Kidd rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, patted and waited on the spot.At the same time, Terry started from the right wing, crossed the free throw line to the left with the help of Mahinmi screen, and Nowitzki responded early with the wall on the left elbow.
Seeing that the tactics worked, Kidd threw the ball to the left wing, and Terry took the ball and twisted his hips to cut inside.
Perhaps it was because the last time he switched defenses and failed due to his slow speed, this time, Xiao Ao switched defenses ahead of time to intercept.
Terry suddenly had no way to go, stopped suddenly and turned to pass the ball, Nowitzki received the ball from the right wing.
Gordon approached decisively, not giving Nowitzki any chance to start off the ball or raise his foot to test.
Nowitzki didn't bother, he turned around and threw the ball to the top of the arc, and Kidd took the ball and divided it into a short corner on the right.
Marion caught the ball and rushed to start, but George was very focused and forced a step to block the bottom line.
When the breakthrough failed, Marion pulled the ball back, jumped up suddenly, and made a long pass towards the left sideline.
Terry took off to catch the ball, and there was not much time left in the attack. He simply dribbled to find his feeling, and rushed to make a shot.
when!The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, rebounding and jumping high, Kaman got up and jumped early, and missed the rebound.
Mahinmi then took off and caught an offensive rebound, and immediately made a comeback when he landed, raising his hands high.
Kaman jumped up and tried to block the shot, and the referee blew his whistle, calling for a foul against the cylinder.
Two free throws, the referee quickly arranged.
Su Yang walked up to George and asked with a smile, "How is it? Have you felt the charm of the NBA stage?"
"My defense just now..." George said awkwardly, obviously trying to explain why he was out of position and distracted.
"I understand..." Su Yang nodded slightly, knowing that George lost his position before, partly because he wanted to defend against the person that Randolph vacated, because at that time Randolph went to help Xiao Ao block Terry, but George responded Also really slow.
"Teach you a trick. Next time you encounter that kind of situation, you point sideways at the basket and shrink to defend. That way you can help defend, and you can also pay attention to the movement of the person you are in charge of. It requires muscle memory and more practice to form. .”
George hummed in response, and Su Yang smiled again: "Also, next time you see me cutting and attacking the basket, in addition to hitting the ground pass, you can also try a high-throw pass. Don't worry that I can't jump high enough. You have to choose The way with the greatest chance of success."
George stared slightly, obviously doubtful, but he didn't dare to ask.
The two chatted for a while, and Mahinmi made the first free throw and hit the second free throw, making the score 25 to 21.
With only 56 seconds left in the first quarter, the Clippers kicked off from the bottom line and launched an offense, and the Mavericks defended a full-court press.
Su Yang turned a blind eye, changed hands on the crotch and shook his back, and made a coquettish maneuver, raising his hand and passing the ball long to the center line.
George received the ball and advanced, passed it to Jr. at the top of the arc, and Gordon picked up the ball from the left wing.At the same time, George inserted into the paint and moved to the left sideline with the help of a screen to get a one-on-one opportunity.
Su Yang reminded that Gordon passed the ball to George, and the Clippers opened up space.
The audience stood up and cheered, George gritted his teeth and sank his shoulders, raised his feet suddenly, and rushed to the basket.
No one came forward to defend the Mavericks. George rushed to the basket in one breath, jumped high, and dunked with one hand.
The basketball blasted into the net, cheers rang out from the Staples Center, and George yelled and turned back to the defense.
The Mavericks made a fast break, Kidd received the ball near the center line, took it to the left wing of the frontcourt in two seconds, and directly dropped his shoulders.
Su Yang didn't expect this move, he lost his defensive position after a little slow reaction, and Kaman hurried forward to defend.
But Kidd made an emergency stop to close the ball and turned around, kicked two steps to the basket, jumped high to put the basket and hit the board.
Su Yang was a little dumbfounded, and immediately recalled Parker's iconic turning and layup, and Kidd was faster and fiercer.
when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.
George jumped to the rebound, Su Yang stepped forward to get the ball and advanced, and the Clippers launched a counterattack.
With 26 seconds left in the first quarter, Su Yang ran across the center line with the ball and stopped at the LOGO position to press time.The rest of the Clippers retreated to the bottom line one after another, and the offensive formation became 1 high and 4 low, which was very suitable for singles, but the defender was Marion.
The attack time ticked away, and there were only 7 seconds left in the blink of an eye. Kaman quickly went up the wall to block Marion.
Su Yang charged wildly, but when he reached the free throw line, Ma Xinmi forcibly reached out and grabbed him.
The referee whistled for a foul, Su Yang got two free throws, and interacted with his teammates with high fives.
Taking advantage of the timeout, the Mavericks replaced Cardinal and Mahinmi, clearly looking for three-point opportunities.
Su Yang saw it, called his teammates for a brief communication, and then stood at the free throw line.
Amidst the MVP cheers all over the court, two free throws were made, and the Clippers led 27 to 21.
The moment the basketball hit the net, the Clippers started to press the whole court. Su Yang stuck close to Kidd and went around to interfere with the pass.
Nowitzki held the ball high outside the boundary, glanced left and right for a long time, and chose to throw the ball towards the top of the arc.
Where Cardinal was standing, Jermaine quickly pressed close to him, and the basketball was thrown to the left sideline.But at this time, Kidd has just used Marion to cover from the bottom corner, and he is far from the basketball landing position, so he can only watch the basketball fly out of the sideline.
Beep!The referee whistled for a violation and gave the Clippers the right to the frontcourt sideline with only 7 seconds left.
Su Yang gathered his teammates around, quickly discussed the tactics, and then lined up along the starting line.
When the referee blew the whistle, the three continued to cover the wall, and Gordon took the opportunity to go around the center line to catch the ball.The Mavericks quickly set up a defensive formation, and Terry stayed at the top of the arc to wait, but with 2 seconds left, Gordon took off on the spot and shot a super long three-pointer.
Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and hit the net, and the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter.
With an 11-1 offensive, the Clippers temporarily lead 30-21.
ESPN commentary seats.
Brin said with a smile: "I heard that Eric Gordon's wish for the new season is to shoot a three-pointer from the midline every month."
Jackson said: "After the first quarter, it can be basically judged that the Mavericks will not be able to pose a threat to the Clippers defending their title this season. It depends on whether Caron Butler can lead the bench to perform miraculously in the second quarter."
"Except for the two centers, almost all members of the Clippers have organizational skills. You see, Tracy McGrady is preparing to debut."
