no shortcuts in basketball

Chapter 44 The first "show" (please ask for more tickets~)

After Harden advanced to the frontcourt, the Devils put up a formation somewhat similar to UCLA's pass and cut.

As the fourth and fifth positions, Xu Yong and Ayres landed on the elbows on both sides of the free throw line, respectively, while Cooksix and DeRozan, the second and third positions, also landed on the left and right sides respectively. A 45-degree angle from the three-point line.

Harden dribbled the ball a few times at the top of the arc, and after his teammates settled down, he passed the ball directly to DeRozan, who was on the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and then cut to the basket along the right elbow .

In the process, Ayers has erected a pick-and-roll wall for Harden.

At the same time, Xu Yong quickly sank to the low position on the left. He first set up a pick-and-roll for Cooksix, and Cooksix used his pick-and-roll to move to the three-point line in the right corner.

Then Xu Yong turned around and set up a pick-and-roll for Harden, letting Harden, who had already cut into the basket, use the pick-and-roll to bounce out of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle to the left.

While running off the ball tactically, Ayers also mentioned the position of the 45-degree three-point line on the right and set up a pick-and-roll for DeRozan.

DeRozan quickly moved to the free throw line with Ayers' pick-and-roll.

So far, the tactics of the Devils for one round have been completed.jpg.

Then, the tigers on the opposite side had obvious omissions. First, Cooksix in the right corner was not followed. Then, to make up for DeRozan, Xu Yong, who had finished the pick-and-roll, was left alone. .

Xu Yong stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, and DeRozan would throw the ball over the rim knowingly.

The members of the Tigers looked up and saw a figure soaring into the air, grabbing the basketball in the air, and after an obvious lingering...

"Oh!"

Slam the ball into the hoop!

The Devils showed off an alley-oop dunk in the opening game!
The cheers erupted at the scene, what is a door-opening cannon, the sky-shattering sound!
Of course, the fans watch the excitement, and the experts watch the way.

The head coach of the Tigers, John Calipari, a protégé of Larry Brown, the former head coach of the NBA Nets, and a master of DDM tactics, instantly saw that the Devils were playing [UCLA pick-and-roll] tactics].

The UCLA pick-and-roll tactic was invented by Jerry Sloan based on the UCLA pass-and-cut tactic. The difference between him and the latter is that the pass-and-cut pays more attention to the opportunity to attack the basket, while the pick-and-roll pays more attention to the opportunity after the pick-and-roll. There will be some differences between the two in terms of running positions.

That's right, after Sandek used Xu Yong and Harden's pick-and-roll as a conventional weapon last season, he went a step further this season and directly used pick-and-roll tactics.

After being able to drive on any broken road, it's time to try flying a plane!
Facts have proved that the aircraft and the car are also an operating system, as long as the parts are well matched, they can also go to the sky.

In an offensive and defensive transition, Kemp held the ball in the frontcourt and went directly to the basket.

The so-called DDM tactic is actually very similar to the run-and-bomb tactic, which is to play fast. The difference is that the positional battle is a space battle, and the center pulls the weak side to give the defender the greatest breakthrough space.

This is one of the reasons Rose was able to play like a fish in water at the University of Memphis last season.

However, compared to Rose and Kemp, Rose's ability to break through the bench last season was much weaker.

And Harden showed his defensive improvement at this time. He kept fighting Kemp and didn't give him a chance to make a phone call. Kemp was forced to go out in the end.

However, this time, Xu Yong predicted it in advance.

"Snapped!"

Xu Yong made a steal, and then jumped out like a catapulted rocket.

His advancing speed is very fast, and he can clearly feel that his ability to control movement has improved significantly compared to last season.

The members of the Tigers couldn't catch up at all and had to give up. After Xu Yong looked back and saw that no one was chasing him, he jumped lightly amidst the cheers of the fans and showed off a slam dunk with both hands.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited.

After an offseason, Xu Yong seems to dance more easily and elegantly than last season!

This is not an illusion, or it is due to the training of the falling step, because the falling step requires explosive power and speed, just like McGrady said, it is the same as the take-off force before the dunk.

The Tigers continued to play fast in the frontcourt, and Anderson broke through the basket with the ball, and then distributed the ball to Mike, but Mike's shot was interfered by DeRozan, and the rebound was also protected by Ayers.

They didn't score in their opening consecutive offenses.

From this, we can also see the weakness of DDM tactics. When you don't have a breakthrough player like Rose who can tear apart the defense, this tactic is difficult to be effective.

The Devils advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play the UCLA pick-and-roll.

This round the Tigers' defense was obviously tighter than the previous round. The Devils didn't have a chance in a wave of tactics and quickly switched tactics.

DeRozan passed the ball to Harden, Xu Yong pulled back to the 45-degree three-point line and made a pick-and-roll, Harden used the pick-and-roll to step back and make a three-point shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball is also hollow into the net!

He showed off his summer shooting training results!

In fact, shooting is something, as long as your name is not Ben Simmons, you can improve your stability as long as you practice hard.

0 is better than 7!

The Devils played a wave at the beginning!

They showed a series of operations, which proved that the coaches of the NCAA organizing committee are real experts!

Calipari couldn't sit still at this time, he stood up from the bench.

The reason why he didn't let Evans start is because Evans, like Harden at the beginning, chose a school late, and had limited time to practice with the team. It was an old opponent again, so he knew what he knew.

But at the beginning of the situation, while he overestimated his own team, he also underestimated the Devils.

Obviously, the change of the Devils is not just as simple as adding a DeRozan.

Sandek dared to challenge them in the opening match, and he was fully prepared.

Fortunately, at this time Mike finally broke through DeRozan and went to the basket to score the first point for the Tigers.

DeRozan's defensive problems were also exposed in this round. It is not that he is not physically fit, but that his defensive habits and awareness are not good enough.

Seeing that the team scored and scored, Calipari also temporarily gave up the decision to replace Evans, and he decided to stand and see.

"Come on! Devil team!"

However, as soon as the Tigers scored a score here, the fans cheered and cheered on the scene.

The Devils continued to play the UCLA pick-and-roll after the Devils arrived in the frontcourt. DeRozan took the ball to the free throw line and saw that the person who changed the defense was some distance away from him, so he directly chose a mid-range jumper.

The pose is picturesque.jpg.

"Shh!"

The basketball is also firmly in the bag.

After Xu Yong and Harden, DeRozan also showed off his mid-range.

And his mid-range shot also caused a burst of exclamation from the scene, because he really has six or seven points of Kobe's charm.

As Harden's child, that is, the child of Southern California in Harden's mouth, his idol is Kobe just like Harden.

But unlike Harden, he not only regards Kobe as an idol, but also imitates Kobe's technical movements. Otherwise, how could he be called the heir of Mamba in the future!
Looking back, the Tigers continued to attack DeRozan, but this time Xu Yong seized the opportunity to help defend and directly interfered with Mike's shot.

DeRozan took off the defensive rebound and threw the ball to Harden. Harden returned the ball to DeRozan in a fast break. DeRozan held the ball and faced Kemp with a 360-degree turn in the air, directly passing the opponent. Wipe the board after cleaning and hit the ball into the .gif!

The ball show overwhelmed the audience, which attracted a burst of whistles and cheers from the audience.

He lost two points before, but this time he scored four points in a row. Not only did he make up for his mistakes, but he also doubled the compensation.

Xu Yong, Harden, DeRozan, I will appear on the stage after you sing, the devil team's first show, show off the sky!
