After signing with the Nets, I stopped pretending and I had a showdown

Chapter 64 63. The man with a magnet!Career assist record!
Being suppressed by Wei Xu at the beginning, Lei Allen felt very uncomfortable.On the offensive end, he ran desperately, trying to return one on Wei Xu's head.

Tim Thomas pulled out to pick and roll for Ray Allen. Ray Allen ran without the ball from the left corner to the top of the arc on the right and received the pass. Facing Wei Xu's defense, he pulled it up and scored a three. point.Although Wei Xu did not block the defense this time, it seriously interfered with the shooting.However, Ray Allen was lucky, and the three-pointer at the top of the arc hit Lan Xin accurately. 4 to 7.

The home fans got up and applauded excitedly, and there were overwhelming shouts from the surrounding auditorium.Byron Scott sat on the court without any panic. The offensive firepower of the Bucks, even the Spurs, which ranks first in the league in defensive efficiency, dare not say it is fully suppressed. It is normal to make a few shots, but I want to continue the feeling for the whole game But it's not that easy.

He is very confident in the stability of the team's offensive and defensive ends. Being behind by one quarter means nothing, and the winner is the one who can have the last laugh.

Wei Xu did not miss his defensive position this round just now, but it was difficult for him to lock Ray Allen.Ray Allen is different from Carter. On the offensive end, he can still play super scoring firepower without touching basketball. Wei Xu only needs to put all the pressure on him, and his offensive efficiency will decline sooner or later.

The Nets attacked, and Wei Xu ran to the corner to catch the ball again. Ray Allen was very fast around the screen this time, and posted it from behind in time.Wei Xu made a fake shot, and Ray Allen didn't jump, but subconsciously raised his toes.

In the previous two rounds, Wei Xu made all the mid-range shots. His fake shots were very threatening. Ray Allen couldn't make an accurate judgment, so he could only stretch out his hand and pounce.Seeing Ray Allen stand on tiptoe, Wei Xu changed direction in front of his body to complete a pass, broke through to the basket to attract big center Tim Thomas to help defend, and gently threw the ball from above his head to the basket.

In the restricted area, Kenyon Martin took off on dry land, caught Wei Xu's pass with both hands in the air, and succeeded in a violent dunk in the air.

"boom!"

6:7.

Kenny Smith shouted: "Beautiful, Wei Xu flew Ray Allen and then broke through to attract double-teams, and assisted Kenyon Martin to complete a wonderful alley-oop. This is the connection between the two beasts in New Jersey. This picture is relatively rare. , The team played very well together.”

Charles Barkley said: "The efficiency of the Bucks' inner frame protection is too poor. Both Thomas and Mason are offensive players. Although George Karl likes the team to play at this rhythm, if the Bucks want tonight To win this game, the defense of the penalty area must find a way to improve. Whether to stick to the offense or strengthen the defense, this is a difficult problem facing Karl at present."

George Karl has no plans to change players now, he has long been used to the scene of defending tens of thousands of pokers.As long as the team can continue the offensive firepower, the Bucks have a chance of winning this game.

In the positional battle, Ray Allen ran to catch the ball again, but before he adjusted his shooting action, Wei Xu stepped forward to catch up.Both of them are relatively explosive among outside players. After all, Ray Allen was an out-and-out dunker before he became the three-pointer.However, Wei Xu's athletic talent is stronger than him, and Ray Allen has no advantage in offense, so he can only pass the ball to Tim Thomas.

Kenyon Martin blocked Thomas's cut to catch the ball. The "bankrupt version" European step egg was useless during the march, and Martin seriously interfered with the frontal throw.The rebound was protected by Jason Kidd, who came out from the weak side.

After Kidd took off the board, he quickly advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to Wei Xu, who was on the weak side.Facing the unguarded basket in front of him, Wei Xu cut and took off in the middle, and dunked the basketball with a windmill in the air. 8 to 7.

Ray Allen's speed is obviously not as good as Wei Xu's. Once he falls behind Wei Xu when defending against a counterattack, he can only watch and score.Wei Xu has never lost in a flat sprint. Iverson may be able to keep up with his speed, but Xiao Ai, who is only 1 meters tall, will definitely not be able to prevent Wei Xu from dunking.

With his physical condition, he is almost incomprehensible in the fast break and counterattack. Those who are stronger than him are not as fast as him, and those who are faster than him are not as strong as him.Unless the opponent brings him down with a vicious foul, or retreats to the backcourt in advance, it will be difficult to limit Wei Xu's scoring.

The Bucks attacked, Cassel held the ball at the top of the arc, played a pick-and-roll with Anthony Mason Jr. in the middle and broke through, but Wei Xu, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, caught the opening from behind, and reached out to poke the ball away while assisting in defense.Wei Xu's wingspan talent is not bad, and his reaction speed is amazing. After stealing the ball, he quickly lowers his center of gravity, bows his head like a cheetah and starts to accelerate.

Ray Allen took his position early this time, but lost in the physical confrontation, and was knocked into the air by Wei Xu, who was playing a fast break and counterattack, disrupting the defensive rhythm.Wei Xu got rid of Ray Allen and strode towards the basket. He jumped from the free throw line and dunked with the folded lever in the air!

"boom!"

10:7.

"Roar!"

After landing, Wei Xu clenched his fists and roared, glaring fiercely at Lei Allen who was behind him with a dull face.

This slam dunk has secured the top five best shots of the day in advance. There are only a handful of players in the league who can take off from the free throw line and fold the dunk. Even in the slam dunk contest, there is no guarantee of a success, let alone in the actual game where the score is stalemate.

George Karl stood on the sidelines and decisively called a timeout. Although he is an offensive coach and is not good at arranging defenses, the penalty area will almost be blocked by Wei Xu. If the timeout is not suspended, the team's morale will fall to the bottom.

Standing behind Wei Xu, Lei Allen was a little dumbfounded. He knew that Wei Xu scored very explosively, but he didn't expect this guy to be so crazy!
In the last game against the Jazz, he only scored 17 points, but today he was on full fire. Isn't this inappropriate to kill him?

Wei Xu's explosive power has no opponent in the NBA, and both offense and defense can become a nightmare for backcourt players.What he lacks most now is technology. When his skills are developed, he will be a combination of Harden and Westbrook. He is soft on the inside and strong on the outside. Even if he meets "AK47" again, he will not be deflated.

Kenny Smith sighed: "Wei broke out again today. The Bucks allowed Ray Allen to defend alone, which is tantamount to watching Wei Xu score. His speed and explosive power cannot keep up with Wei, and he is at a disadvantage even in physical confrontation. Tonight, Wei Xu scored at least 30 points."

Charles Barkley said with a smile: "I don't know who gave George Karl the confidence to think that Ray Allen can handle Wei Xu by himself. Even when the Pistons played against the Nets, they could only double-team Wei Xu. Few people can match Wei's physical fitness, and the old man Karl is really stubborn, and he refuses to bow his head to his belief that offense is king."

Kenny Smith smiled and said: "Maybe Kirilenko of the Jazz gave Carl confidence. The Nets only scored 17 points against Jazz Wei Xu in the game. Jerry Sloan arranged for Kirilenko to defend alone from the beginning. A good defensive effect has been achieved. Unfortunately, there is only one AK47 in the league, and his defensive talent and sense of smell are not comparable to others. The Bucks obviously haven't figured out the situation yet."

Barkley nodded and said, "Yeah, Ray Allen can beat Ray Allen in one-on-one singles. His physical fitness is so enviable. I think Coach Carl should arrange for wing players to double-team and replace him with a An insider who is good at protecting the frame comes on the stage, and preventing Wei Xu from entering the Bucks penalty area is as easy as entering the back garden."

Kenny Smith added: "The Bucks' starting five all have good offensive firepower. Even if the next one is replaced by a defensive blue-collar, it will have little impact. I don't think George Karl can't even figure out such a simple thing. I hope the timeout He's been able to make an amazing adjustment when he comes back."

As the two expected, George Karl did make substitution adjustments during the suspension.Blue-collar center Greg Foster played and replaced Tim Thomas, who was strong in offense and weak in defense.George Karl's stubbornness does not mean that he is an idiot. He knows very well that the Bucks' defense in the penalty area in the first quarter is too poor. If they don't make adjustments in time, they will be blown up by the Nets sooner or later.

身高2米11、体重108公斤的格雷格福斯特不是什么大人物，职业生涯打了12年碌碌无为，最高的一个赛季也只不过才能得到6.1分3.2个篮板，巅峰时期的出场时间都没超过20分钟。

However, the reason why Foster can survive in the league depends on his professional attitude. His defensive efficiency is not high, but his victory is positive, and the effect of staying on the court to protect the basket is better than that of Tim Thomas.

Ray Allen still has to continue to defend Wei Xu, but George Karl doesn't plan to let him defend alone.During the timeout, Karl ordered the players to double-team Wei Xu's defense, especially the positions on both sides of the free throw line, and resolutely never give Wei Xu an easy shot.

Byron Scott did not make substitutions or adjust his tactics.

The team played very well in the first half, playing blood on both ends of the offense and defense, which is exactly what Scott hopes to see.

After the timeout, Ray Allen will obviously start to panic.As soon as Wei Xu came up tonight, he fired with all his firepower, no matter how he played on the offensive end, he suppressed all his limelight.He has only scored one three-pointer so far. Ray Allen felt very embarrassed in front of the home fans, and the offensive end was eager to retaliate.

He first made a fake cut from the bottom corner to the basket, and then suddenly ran back to the top of the arc to move. During the movement, he also grabbed Wei Xu's forearm with his hand, disrupting Wei Xu's defensive rhythm through small movements.This kind of action will definitely be whistled for a foul in future generations, but the referee's whistle scale in the 00s was very loose, and tonight is the home court of the Bucks, and the referee stood next to the two and saw that there was no whistle.

With the help of his teammates, Ray Allen successfully got rid of Wei Xu's pursuit and scored a mid-range jumper. 10 to 9.

The Nets attacked, and Wei Xu's running position attracted Greg Foster and Ray Allen to double-team. Kidd held the ball at the top of the arc and failed to pass. After observing, he distributed the ball to Van Horn at 45 degrees on the right.

Van Horn caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, missed the basket under the interference of Anthony Mason Jr., and the rebound was protected by "Big Dog" Robinson.

Mason Jr. has strong athletic talent. His height of 2 meters makes him not dominant as a power forward, but his agile lateral speed and explosive jumping make up for the lack of height.During the timeout, George Karl ordered the players to increase the frequency of assist defense, and it was replaced by Van Horn's ball at the beginning of the game, which was definitely an open space.

The Bucks attacked, Cassel played a pick-and-roll with Fortes in the middle, broke through from the left, was defended by Kidd, and transferred the ball to "Big Dog" Robinson on the move. under the interference.Van Horn grabbed the rebound and passed it to Kidd for a fast break.

Kidd took the ball and glanced at the front court, and threw it to Wei Xu without thinking.Wei Xu got rid of Ray Allen with his speed, attracted Mason to make up the defense and gave the ball to Kenyon Martin who followed up on the flank. 12 to 9.

Charles Barkley shouted: "It's the connection between Way and Kenyon Martin again. This is already the second dunk dunk between the two tonight. Way is a great threat in the counterattack and can attract Bucks players once he catches the ball Double-teaming helps the Nets form a situation where they play more and play less in the frontcourt."

Kenny Smith said: "The offense of the Nets is very smooth. When Wei Xu attracts double-teams and frequently assists his teammates, the offensive firepower of this Nets is the most terrifying. Everyone is the end point, everyone can pass the ball , Their teamwork reminds me of the Spurs, and they play very patiently on the offensive end."

Barkley said with a smile: "Kidd is the brain of the Nets, Wei Xu is the heart of this team. He has become the core of the team at a young age, and Scott is building a tactical system around him on both ends of the offense and defense. I think no one will question the importance of Wei Xu now."

"I said, he will become a star in the future." Kenny Smith sighed.

The Bucks attacked, and Ray Allen ran to catch the ball again and made a three-pointer. This time he missed under Wei Xu's interference.Wei Xu did not lose his position on the defensive end, and his hand was almost sealed to Ray Allen's face, which seriously interfered with his shooting.

Greg Foster, who had just played, had a positive attitude, pressed Kenyon Martin to grab an offensive rebound, and made a strong shot in the second offense. 12 to 11.

From the perspective of the situation, the Nets have the upper hand, but the Bucks are still clinging to the score with their rich offensive system. Only Ray Allen is misfiring, and the other players have performed very well.

In the positional battle, Wei Xu's running position was blocked by a large number of Bucks players, and he did not receive the ball.Kidd and Kenyon Martin played a pick-and-roll, and after a breakthrough, the ball was given to Martin who cut in the middle.Kenyon Martin relied on Foster to force a layup, shot himself in the penalty area, and made a one-handed layup on Foster's head. 14 to 11.

The Bucks' defensive strength against Wei Xu has been significantly improved. In the positional battle, one person follows closely, and the others are ready to double-team at any time according to their positions.It became difficult for Wei Xu to connect the ball, and the mid-distance position on both sides was severely compressed.

However, Wei Xu is not the top player in the youth team, and he doesn't panic if he has no shooting opportunities.Relying on his own threat to hold the ball and make a strong breakthrough, he will pass the ball out when he attracts double-teams, creating a better offensive environment for his teammates.

The rest of the Nets began to score one after another, and Van Horn, Kenyon Martin and Kiedles performed very well.Kidd's offensive end is still Buddhist. He only took 2 shots in the first quarter, but he sent a game-high 5 assists.

After Kidders was replaced, veteran Harris, who came off the bench, also contributed from outside the three-point line, receiving a pass from Wei Xu and hitting a super long-range three-pointer at the top of the arc.Wei Xu was heavily marked by the Bucks in the second half, and he couldn't make a shot against the double-team. He only scored a layup in a fast-break counterattack.

In the first quarter, the Nets led the Bucks 33 to 28 and played a high-quality game.

韦旭单节7投5中，得到10分2篮板4助攻和1次抢断，单节4次助攻刷新了生涯纪录，今晚他有望助攻数据上双。

In the second quarter, the two sides sent a substitute lineup to compete, and power forward Goodrich, who is good at shooting three-pointers, got his debut time.Facing a team like the Bucks who like to play outside, Scott didn't need to send a two-tower lineup to play, but simply played against each other to see whose offensive firepower was stronger.

The core of the Nets' offense in the second quarter was Kiedles, who took a break in the second half of the first quarter.Monty Williams, who was traded from the Magic, also got playing time. The tasks Scott assigned to him were air cuts and defense, which was almost the "poor version" of Wei Xu's style of play.

The performance of the Nets' bench lineup is not bad, but the performance of the Bucks is also very tenacious. The substitutes played very bloody, and the point difference has never been widened.

The Bucks' bench is led by two veterans, point guard Greg Anthony and power forward Mark Pope.Among them, Anthony was a sixth-man scorer when he was young, and he could shoot suddenly. In his peak season, he averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists per game. When he played for the Knicks, he also sent 15 assists in a single game.

The backup shooting guard is last year's No. 12 rookie in the second round, Michael Reed.He is 1 meters tall and weighs 98 kilograms. He is a left-handed player with strong scoring ability.Today's Michael Reid is just a small substitute, but in his peak season, he is the famous "Deer King". He scored an average of 100 points per game against Kobe Bryant, and made all the All-Stars and the best team.

It's a pity that the Bucks are now ruled by the three musketeers. No matter how strong Reed is, he can only wait for the disintegration of the Big Three to reach the pinnacle of life.

The Bucks' substitute center Pulzbila broke out suddenly in the second quarter, and played Jason Collins for two rounds on the offensive end.After an air cut, he made a throw and hit the board, and a turnaround hook in a low singles game caused Collins' defensive foul. With good luck, he scored 2+1 and scored 1 points in a row in just 5 minute. Byron Scott was so angry that he stood on the court. Roar loudly.

If Michael Reid breaks out in the second quarter, Scott can still accept it. This season Reed averaged 21.1 minutes per game, scoring 11.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists, which is the most stable scoring point on the Bucks bench.On the other hand, Przybilla is a blue-collar guy. He averaged 3 points and 4 rebounds per game this season, with a career high of 8 points, which allowed him to score 1 points in less than 5 minute. Scott was almost not pissed off. .

However, the NBA is such a magical place, full of incredible miracles everywhere.

After 4 minutes, Pulzbila made 4 of 4 shots and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 9 points and 4 rebounds to beat Collins.

The unbearable Byron Scott called a timeout, pointed at Collins' nose and yelled, after all, he couldn't contain his little temper.

Seeing this, Charles Barkley said with a smile: "Pulzbilla set a new record high for scoring in a single game tonight. His explosion was unexpected. No wonder Coach Scott was so angry."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "I think Jason Collins actually defended well, and there is no obvious dislocation under his feet. It's just that Pulzbila's hands are too hot tonight, and he has to be the unlucky guy who takes the blame."

Because Van Horn was temporarily transferred to the starting lineup tonight, the Nets' bench lacked the most reliable firepower in the past, and they failed to take advantage of this opportunity to expand the point difference.The best performer in the second quarter was Kidders, who hit a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, scoring 4 points on 2 of 5 shots.

The newly joined Monty Williams obviously hasn't adapted to the Nets' tactical system. Although he didn't make a mistake, he still has few performance opportunities.The defensive end contributed a steal, assisted Harris on a fast break layup, and the offensive end made 1 of 0 shots. He has not yet scored his first point after joining the Nets.

After the timeout, the two sides changed into the starters in a tacit understanding, and the point difference was still within 5 points

After Wei Xu appeared on the court in the second quarter, his touch was average. Several mid-range shots missed the basket under the interference of Bucks players. He only received a pass from Kidd outside the three-point line and hit an open three-pointer.

The non-stop defense and double-teaming of the Bucks allowed Wei Xu to enjoy the playoff-level confrontation in advance, and he could only make strong shots against interference in the crowd.However, Wei Xu sent out 3 assists in this quarter, tying his career record with 7 assists in the half.

Fortunately, when Wei Xu attracted most of the defensive attention, other Nets players took up the banner of offense.Kenyon Martin and Van Horn played very well, setting off each other from inside to outside, and played an efficient offensive performance around Wei Xu.

"Big Dog" Robinson had an eye-catching performance in the second half of the second quarter. Kiddels succeeded in consecutive mid-range singles. He scored 8 points in a single quarter to make up for Ray Allen's attack and help the team tightly bite the point difference.Ray Allen was very annoyed by Wei Xu's mad dog-style defense. If there were no outbreaks of Przybilla and "Big Dog" Robinson, he would be destined to be a sinner for Milwaukee tonight.

At the end of the first half, 58 to 54, the Nets led the Bucks by 4 points away.
