The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 148, the day-to-day pattern reappears.

"nice shot."

When the audience saw Durant hit the first shot, they all applauded.

Li Senlin expressed his envy for this kind of talent crushing style of play.

Was shot by Durant, Millsap was wronged.

He is a power forward, but because of his height, he was pushed to the small forward position today.

Millsap couldn't figure it out. Last year when he saw Durant meeting someone else, he wasn't that scary. How could he be so fierce this year when it was his turn to match up with him.

Paul Millsap entered the NBA through the draft in 2006. With a height of 2 meters, he is a short power forward full of energy, with both confrontation and speed;

Millsap's offensive ability can be considered relatively good, but there are not many methods, mainly relying on himself to grab offensive rebounds and then forcefully hit the basket to score, and he has an excellent half-block jumper.

Relying on his excellent basketball awareness, Millsap can easily get an easy layup opportunity in the game through cooperation with his teammates. He can play singles in high and low positions and passes the ball well.So Sloan gradually started to put him in the regular rotation.

But Millsap suffers from height on the defensive end.

In terms of height, he is not as good as Durant at the small forward, and of course it has something to do with Durant being a pervert.

Millsap is a second-round pick. He was underestimated because of his talent. However, under the influence of several brothers in his family, Millsap did not give up on himself. Instead, he continued to improve his personal skills and gradually established himself in the league. heel.

Sitting on the bench, Li Senlin also looked at this fat man who also came from a very low background, but eventually grew into an All-Star.

Although Millsap was shot by Durant, there was not much frustration on his resolute face, but he showed fighting spirit.

…………

Jazz offense,
Deron advances with the ball.

The Jazz play the world-famous "pick-and-roll tactic"

The pick-and-roll offense of the current Sloan system includes two phases, the Marlon Stockton phase and the Deron Boozer phase.

The Sloan system is the pick-and-roll combined with John Wooden's UCLA system.

In addition to the pick-and-roll interaction between point guards and power forwards, there are also rich high and low post tactics, support, screens, air cuts, running positions, and counter-running. The style of play is very complicated.

However, all the players on the team moved precisely like machines, which made up for the lack of talent.

The pick-and-roll is an important part of the Sloan system. Although there were already pick-and-rolls in the 80s, Marlon Stockton's pick-and-roll can be said to have opened the NBA's pick-and-roll era. Their style of play is still used by other NBA teams.

In his pick-and-roll system, the power forward plays a bigger role. As a power forward, he requires comprehensive ball-holding skills, off-ball running skills, and supporting skills, such as Karl Malone and Carlos Boozer.

The scoring requirements for point guards are not high, but they require a good overall view, strong organizational skills, strong field control skills, and key scoring capabilities, such as Stockton and Deron.

Other players in the pick-and-roll require conscientious tactical runners. As long as they strictly follow the UCLA system, they will have easy scoring opportunities.

…………

On the field.

Deron said hello.

Boozer skillfully stepped forward to block.

Westbrook is easily blocked.

Although Jeff Green's footsteps slide quickly.

But still failed to cover Deron's passing route.

Now Deron is a very good passer.

After Boozer finished the file, he went straight down one by one.

Deron made a split and stuffed the ball between Westbrook and Jeff Green.

Boozer received a point from Deron at the free throw line.

empty.

Stop and jump.

Shot.

The arc of the ball is high.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the net, the Nets turned up.

2:2.

Everyone in the Thunder knows that Deron is going to play the pick-and-roll, but knowing it and being able to defend it are two different things.

The situation in the game is really changing rapidly.

For a moment, you did not keep up with your opponent's rhythm.

The opponent scores.

There are two most important points in preventing pick-and-rolls.
One is to squeeze, which is to squeeze between the two players on the offensive side who are doing the pick-and-roll.

The other is to go around, go around behind the big man who is doing the pick-and-roll, you must grasp the timing,
Otherwise, it will definitely leak.

The defense of teammates must be in place in time.

Obviously, the Thunder's execution is not in place.

……

Westbrook dribbles across half court.

This time Westbrook did not choose to give Durant.

He first pretended to call his teammates at the top of the arc to come out and catch the ball.

Collison catches the ball past his hands.

Back to Westbrook.

This time Westbrook didn't pretend anymore, he opened his posture and called everyone to get out of the way.

It's time for him to swing.

He bent over, the basketball was patted back and forth, left and right, under his hands, and his eyes rolled around.

He is looking for opportunities to "break through".

Suddenly Westbrook quickened his pace, made a left change, and Lightning broke through Deron in the first step.

Came to the free throw line, made another right turn, turned around to cover Okur, and rushed past the Jazz's two defensive lines.

When he came to the basket, he made a vertical jump and hit the board with an almost flat frame.

The ball landed in the basket impartially.

2:4.

Facing the Jazz's weak inside line, Westbrook unceremoniously showed off his personal breakthrough ability.

"Damn it, it's beautiful, five best balls."

See this wonderful goal by Westbrook.

Li Senlin stood up from the bench in an instant, raised his right hand, waved the towel and shouted desperately off the court.

Waving a towel is also technical work.

After a while, Li Senlin's hands felt a little sore.

Li Senlin found that he didn't know how to wave the towel, so he gave the towel back to Johan Pedro.

Johan Pedro's swing is obviously more vigorous than Li Senlin.

Seeing Qiao Han's hard work, Li Senlin felt that he should just applaud.

After Westbrook scored the goal, he walked past the bench and gave Li Senlin a high-five.

"Beautiful, Russell!"

Li Senlin sent his own praise.

This season, under his stimulation, Westbrook has improved a lot from the original.

Li Senlin remembered that the rookie Westbrook was not very good, averaging about 16 points per game.

And now, because of his arrival, his scoring average is approaching 20 points per game.

This is far faster than his original growth rate.

Li Senlin didn't know whether to cry or laugh, Li Senlin felt that his progress was really fast.

But compared with this dear friend, it's really not 01:30.

The Jazz's offense isn't bad.

After Deron advanced over.

It also passed Westbrook and made a beautiful breakthrough layup.

4:4.

The rookie Westbrook still looked a little immature against Deron.

Now Deron and Paul are competing for the position of the first point guard.

And Westbrook is just a rookie.

Both defenses suck.

The offense is strong.

No one can prevent anyone.

With 1 minute and 48 seconds left in the first quarter, Li Senlin took off his pants, stood up, and was ready to go on stage.

I saw Li Senlin getting ready to play.

The commentator Zhang Weiping, the audience Milan and Lin Weiwei cheered up.

"Forest has played, Westbrook and Durant have gone down, let's see how Forest will perform with the second team."

After Li Senlin stood up, the audience burst into applause, cheers, and cheers all around their ears.

Sure enough, playing at home is enjoyment.

"Lee, go up and kick their asses."

shouted an excited spectator sitting in the front row.

"OK!"

Li Senlin turned around and smiled at the fan, and then took advantage of the timeout to make his debut.

The score is now 24-24.
Both sides are very open.

This year's Jazz is far from the iron-blooded defensive Jazz team before Li Senlin came back.

Their defense is not generally bad, especially when playing on the road.

After Li Senlin played, he obviously didn't feel much pressure.

The Thunder's current lineup is Li Senlin, Watson, Johan Pedro, Jeff Green, and Wilkins.

Joe Smith has been gradually sidelined by Brooks. Brooks suspects that he leaked the locker room fight with the New York media.

Because in the current locker room, almost everyone feels that Joe Smith is out of tune with other people.

Many things don't need evidence.

Joe Smith With the rise of Li Senlin, he also succumbed.

From the dissatisfaction at the beginning to the silence now, he already planned to leave the Thunder after the end of this season. He was really unhappy here.

Therefore, playing time becomes irrelevant.

Jazz over there, Deron off, Boozer off, Millsap off, put on CJ Myers, Kyle Korver, Andrei Kirilenko.

Small lineup vs. small lineup.

Looking at the lineup on the opposite side, Li Senlin had another headache.

Two 3-point shooters and an all-around defensive champion.

Especially this No. 47 Kirilenko.

If anyone in the NBA can really get a five-double, then this person is most likely Kirilenko, although Li Senlin knows that this guy has never won a five-double, it's just the media bragging.

But Kirilenko is also one of the few players who can score 5×5 in one game.

AK47 has been the almighty endorsement in recent years.

…………

Li Senlin advanced with the ball.

Two steps beyond the arc, CJ Miles is manning him.

The rest of the Thunder players were basically stared down.

He looked at the shooter Myers in front of him.

Miles' defense was average.

At this time, it did not move forward.

Let Li Senlin take two steps.

What Li Senlin recalled in his mind at this time was Curry's ultra-long three-pointer.

With the improvement of various physical talents, Li Senlin can occasionally find the shooting rhythm when he was using Kurika.

Long time no use.

Want to try it?
Just do what you want, Li Senlin is a very determined person.

Once the attack method is selected, it is time to start looking for opportunities.

At this time, the NBA did not have Curry's super abnormal long-range three-pointers.

Therefore, CJ Miles, who was guarding him, stood calmly on the three-point line and put Li Senlin two steps away.

Without him, no one believed that Li Senlin would shoot there. Even if he had seen the video of Li Senlin fighting the Bobcats at that time, he probably forgot.

Time can dilute many things.

Li Senlin dribbled the ball and kept twisting his butt from side to side.

Think about Curry's shooting rhythm at that time.

at last.

After twisting for 5 seconds, he caught a moment.

Two steps beyond the three-point line.

Collect the ball.

Take off.

Push and shoot.

The ball is released quickly.

With a bounce of 70 and a strength of 70, he can easily make the actions of Curry in his memory.

When CJ Miles, who was defending Li Senlin, reacted, he could only stare blankly at the ball gliding in the air.

"FUCK"

Watching this series of actions, Brooks was stunned, and couldn't help cursing.

He gave Li Senlin the unlimited right to fire, but this guy is too bold.

But after all, Brooks has seen Li Senlin's three-point madness.

He was also very experienced this time and didn't shout out.

I suffered a loss last time and almost couldn't get off the stage.

"Wow!"

The audience watched Li Senlin's flamboyant operation, and knew that he was going to make such a willful three-pointer. The home audience had seen it before. But they couldn't help but shouted out.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the Ford Center.

Time seems to have passed for a long time.

at last!

"Shh!"

The ball slides reluctantly into the net, a hollow ball.

Li Senlin's super long three-pointer's first arrow in this game!
High profile hit! !
24:27.

"yeah!"

"Pretty!"

Milan in front of the TV jumped up happily.

"Wei Wei, do you think Li Senlin is handsome or not, you are amazing."

"Ah."

Lin Weiwei looked at Li Senlin, who was posing on TV, with a smile, and replied to Milan.

This guy just loves to get carried away.

However, it is really handsome.

On the field, after Li Senlin scored a three-pointer, he excitedly mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.

The audience at the scene gave face and cheered together.

…………

"I rely on..."

As soon as Li Senlin scored this three-pointer, CJ Miles cursed.

He is also a three-point shooter himself, but he has never tried to shoot in Li Senlin's position under normal time and normal rhythm.

Generally, such ultra-long-range shots are shot blindly at the last moment. .

This TM is too perverted.

At the same time, coach Brooks off the court also called Li Senlin perverted.

Brooks touched a cold sweat.

Thank goodness I didn't curse out loud this time.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing. He looked at the two assistant coaches, but they didn't seem to notice his movements, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Korver is also a little unbelievable. Korver feels that he can't make this three-pointer.

This season Korver's 3-point shooting rate is only 38%. Although it is far from the level of close to 45% or even 50% in later generations, as a shooter, who can guarantee that he will shoot in any game.

…………

Miles dribbles forward.

Compared with the Thunder's second team, the Jazz's second team is stronger overall, as you can tell by their worth.

Li Senlin was keeping a close eye on Miles. He didn't dare to be careless. The player in front of him was also a low-key shooter.

His style of play is very similar to Li Senlin.

Although Li Senlin's suffocating defense can't deal with S-level stars, it is more than enough to deal with a guard like Miles who is good at shooting.

Okur comes up to cover.

Li Senlin easily bypassed.

Doesn't give Miles any shooting space at all.

Korver runs around Kirilenko.

Ditched Watson at a 45-degree angle to the right.

People arrive at the ball.

Catch and release.

The rhythm is good.

Hand shape is pretty standard.

pity.

The ball draws a wonderful arc.

"frame."

Korver contributed a strike.

The long rebound was protected by Wilkins.

Give it to Li Senlin.

Li Senlin advanced quickly.

The Jazz's small lineup is also very fast, and Li Senlin can't find a chance to break fast.

After advancing to the top of the arc, I had to press down.

Re-control the rhythm.

See Li Senlin pressing the rhythm.

The Jazz are habitually lax in marking Lee Forest's Miles.

They waited for the rest of the Thunder to get inside.

The Jazz are less focused on defense.

Li Senlin observed this situation.

Although his teammates hadn't settled yet, Li Senlin couldn't care less.

Curry will never let this opportunity go.

so empty?You are playing to death!
Li Senlin frantically swung his hips on the spot, accumulating energy.

I'm coming.

Li Senlin seized the moment of dribbling rhythm.

Bow and arrow.

One step outside the three-point line, another push shot.

"Wow."

The home audience couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

There were bursts of exclamations.

What happened to their rookie?
Regardless of the rhythm of the team.

The current NBA.

Basically, if you play off the ground, you will first let the inside line get stuck and grab rebounds.

Therefore, Miles emptied Li Senlin's ultra-long three-pointer because of his habit.

"Shh."

The three-point arrow once again plunged into the heart of the Jazz.

24:30.

"pause."

"What are you all doing? Fucking guard against me."

Coach Sloan was furious, no matter the time was 50 seconds left, he called stop and sprayed all the substitutes.

When Li Senlin saw the ball was thrown in, he immediately yelled and trotted back to the bench gesturing for a three-pointer.

He was greeted with applause and cheers from the audience.

"I love you to death."

"Oh……"

The audience in the front row also cheered and jumped towards Li Senlin who was on the bench.

Back to the bench.

Li Senlin had an affair with Westbrook.

Westbrook and Jeff Green gave Li Senlin's butt a slap to express their happiness.

…………

"Li, you did a great job."

Brooks smiled awkwardly and said to Li Senlin that although Li Senlin did not play tactics, he achieved good results.

Durant's ignoring defense is enough to defy the sky, but Li Senlin's performance is even more perverted... completely unreasonable.

"Forest's ball is unreasonable, but he can score, cross."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said to the camera that he had only seen it on Kobe in the past... No, no, Kobe would not throw this kind of ball.

Milan was already yelling at this time.

"Oh, Wei Wei, I'm in love with Li Senlin, what should I do?"

"Haha."

Lin Weiwei's head was full of black lines.

This Li Senlin likes to play handsome too much, and he will provoke a lot of women.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for three points, ask for a monthly pass.
