NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Chapter 171 Doncic's Standing Long Jump
Back from the timeout, Wang Yi made an extra penalty.

In the first minute of the game, the Lakers played a 1-10 spurt relying on Wang Yi alone.

Such a game is really outrageous.

But the Lone Ranger is not a soft persimmon.

They can remain fifth in the West for a long time, and they have their own uniqueness.

If the Lakers win this game, they will narrow the gap with them to one game.

Otherwise, it will be extended directly to two games.

When the Lone Ranger attacked, Doncic dribbled the ball past half court.

Facing Pope, he dribbled the ball behind his back, then turned around...well, he couldn't get past Pope.

His speed is not considered fast, basically it is difficult to pass a defender with better defense.

However, his few dribbles pushed Pope to the penalty area.

Then he turned over and made a Nowitzki-style golden rooster independent jumper.

Swish!
The basketball goes through the hoop with ease.

Next round.

Doncic still pressed Pope into the penalty area, and then made a fake pass to the outside Boshen.

When Pope was a little distracted, his hand lifted the ball from Pope's armpit to the backboard.

Not only hit, but also caused Pope to foul.

This is Doncic.

You can see that he is not fast and does not jump high.

Defenders can easily keep up with him.

But there are fake movements all over his body, even in his pores.

If you are not careful, you will be deceived.

The most important thing is that the shooting sight is not bad.

In the next two rounds, Doncic hit another step-back three-pointer.

This forced Pope to stick close to him.

In this way, Doncic showed another weapon: the standing long jump.

He faked a shot from the three-point line.

When Pope jumped up to block the shot, he jumped directly at Pope.

The two collided in the air.

The referee's whistle blows.

Pope made a three-point foul and Doncic made three free throws.

In fairness, this style of play greatly reduces the enjoyment and fluency of the game.

Although there was this kind of foul-making play in the past, it was to shake the defender up and wait for the defender to fall on him when he couldn't hold it, and then shot.

Now Doncic and Trey Young, even if the opponent doesn't fall on them, they will jump on each other and shoot at the same time.

So it is nicknamed the standing long jump.

In fact, according to the thinking of normal people, almost all of this can be called an offensive foul.

When someone falls, you jump up and hit them.

What is not an offensive foul?
But under the existing basketball rules, this is indeed a defensive foul.

Trae Young and Doncic just used the rules rationally.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the bearded golfer who got up at four o'clock in the morning to memorize the rules.

He's a master at drawing fouls.

Although the foul-making style of play was not created by him, it was he who brought the foul-making style of play to the extreme.

In the peak seasons, he averaged about 10 free throws per game.

This is outrageous.

Later, when fans, players, coaches and many media began to complain about this style of play, and the league began to consciously change the penalty rules for this style of play, the bearded player changed his style of play ahead of time.

No longer completely rely on foul play.

Instead, they are more inclined to rely on their own offensive ability and organizational ability to play.

And Trey Young and Doncic are still promoting their foul-making style of play at this time, which can be regarded as just hitting the league's guns.

So it's not surprising that he was criticized by thousands of people in the alliance.

Under Doncic's performance, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 5 points.

Vogel saw that Pope couldn't defend Doncic alone, so he shouted at the Lakers players:

"Teaming! Force him to pass the ball!"

The current lineup of the Mavericks on the field, except for Doncic, the offensive starting point, is only Hardaway.

Hardaway's offensive threat is much smaller than that of Doncic.

So as long as Doncic is held down, the Lone Ranger's offense will be greatly reduced.

Some people say that Boshen can also be regarded as an offensive launch point.

Sorry, but based on his performance in the playoffs last year, he really didn't deserve it.

So when Doncic dribbled the ball across the half court again, Wang Yi gave up Hardaway, who was defending himself, and sandwiched Doncic with Pope.

Seeing that he was about to be double-teamed, Doncic passed the ball to Hardaway in advance.

Hardaway made a three-pointer.

In the next two rounds, Doncic was still double-teamed, and he was determined not to let him make a move.

But Hardaway played at this time.

With no one to guard, he hit two mid-range shots in a row.

In fact, CIC is his housekeeping skill.

As a result, the point difference was narrowed to 3 points.

But the Lakers can't help it.

During the timeout, Vogel said to the Lakers:

"Continue to maintain this defensive strategy. Even if Hardaway plays well, he can't let go of Doncic. No matter how well Hardaway plays, he will play alone. If Doncic plays well, he will drive their team."

"We'd rather let Hardaway beat us to death than let Doncic lead their team."

"Besides, Hardaway doesn't have the ability to kill our entire team alone."

This is the defensive skill of these coaches in the NBA.

A role player in the NBA is also one of the more than 400 best basketball players in the world.

Once given the chance, they are likely to show what they are capable of.

And what you can do is let them show their abilities.

Because in the case where the defense must have a focus, it is much better to let them show their abilities than to let their ace players show their abilities.

After returning from the timeout, Hardaway is still scoring goals.

As for the Lakers, James could only be a strong dealer in the first quarter, dealing cards online.

Facing Boban who is 2 meters tall, thick eyebrows struggled a bit.

Although the coach keeps running and playing, he needs to push the speed.

But the premise of running is to defend, and then grab the rebound and counterattack.

But Hardaway was really accurate in the first quarter, making 6 of 5 shots.

The Lakers have few defensive rebounds to grab.

Secondly, there is a 2 meter Bobanza inside, even if there are rebounds, it is difficult for the Lakers to grab rebounds.

So with 4 minutes left in the first quarter, the only 3-point difference was also wiped out.

It was time for Wang Yi and James to rest again.

Coach Vogel hesitated for a moment, but did not replace Wang Yi.

Instead, thick eyebrows, Zhuang Shen and James were replaced.

Caruso, Jia and Harrell were replaced.

He didn't replace Schroeder as he used to.

What does it mean?
The meaning is obvious.

Vogel looked at Wang Yi, his eyes full of expectations:

"Wang, with this lineup, you have unlimited firepower. Unleash your offensive talent to the fullest."

Hearing this, Wang Yi couldn't help but seething in his heart.

In the past, when he was only defined as a 3D player, being in the same lineup as James was the best choice for him.

James will pass him the ball.

And all he has to do is defend and shoot three-pointers.

But now that he has shown more offensive methods, he always feels a little awkward playing.

Because there are two scoring points like James and thick eyebrows, they are still the team's top and second heads.

Wang Yi cannot act without restraint.

Sometimes when you are clearly able to attack, you have to consider them and you can only pass the ball.

Vogel also saw this, so today he plans to try to stagger the playing time of Wang Yi, James and Nongmei as much as possible.
