Chapter 20 Defense

Scoring depends on talent, and defense depends on attitude. Although they all say so, the knowledge of defense is really no less than that of offense.

At least that's what Bowen said. He told Shi Lei: "Defense is never an easy task, and it requires us to pay a lot for it. Everyone will meet different teammates in their careers, and some teammates have a positive defensive attitude. , some are lax, some like to gamble steals, some like to keep entangled with each other. You will also meet different opponents, some have strong breakthrough ability, some have accurate positioning and shooting, some have a broad vision, and are good at cooperating with teammates , and some only have the basket in their eyes. These are all things we have to understand, different teammates, we have to choose different ways to cooperate with each other, different opponents, we have to choose different ways to deal with him.”

"Streetball King's dribble is really not blown out. This time the dribble breakthrough is quite clean, but Udrih's defense is indeed a big problem. If I play, I have to pay attention to filling him at any time."

"Barry's height advantage is obvious, but his lateral movement is too slow, and even Battier can get rid of him. I'm afraid this method will be an important way for most people to deal with him."

"Finley is still entangled with McGrady, good opportunity! No, he didn't choose to steal. Oh, being dunked by McGrady, is this what Bowen called 'aggressive'?"

Shi Lei was there non-stop, analyzing his opponents and teammates through every attack and defense, thinking about questions such as "what should I do if I am on the court", and soon, the first quarter of the game between the two sides was over. it's over.

"Second quarter, Jackie, Shi, you two come on, replacing Oberto and Barry."

Finally, Shi Lei heard the most beautiful words from Popovich's mouth. He was always preparing, and couldn't wait to take off his coat.

"Is Leilei going to appear?"

From the live broadcast, seeing Shi Lei undressing, his mother asked his father with the same excitement as Shi Lei.

"Maybe, it should be time to play."

"Come on! Shi Lei, you can do it." Shi Lei clapped his hands with Barry who was leaving the field, and encouraged himself as he walked to the field.

"Shi Lei is on the stage, he replaced Barry."

At the same time, such words also appeared on the live broadcast screen.

For the Rockets' offense, Alston, who holds the ball, slowly advances the ball, waiting for Yao Ming inside to settle down.Shi Lei closely followed Battier and was pulled to the bottom line on the left.

Alstom's breakthrough skills may not be so good, but his ball-handling skills are unparalleled.With acrobatic dribbling, he just made a simple change of direction, and Udrih lost his position.Just when people thought that Alston would continue to break through, he passed the ball and threw the ball to McGrady.

At this moment, Shi Lei jumped out. He didn't intend to fill anyone's seat, but there was no other way. Finley, who was defending McGrady, was blocked by Juwan Howard.

At his peak, as a super scorer, McGrady had a thousand ways to send the basketball to the basket, but in this offense, he chose the iconic "dry jumper".

When McGrady jumped up, Shi Lei also jumped up. He knew that McGrady would be the choice, because the 120-kilogram big fat man, Jackie Butler, and Yao Ming didn't leave much room for McGrady to break through. Coupled with the fact that he lost his defender, if he doesn't "crack" at this time, McGrady will really be ashamed of the vigorous "strike the iron" career he has carried out for so many years.

Maybe Shi Lei didn't expect that Shi Lei would make up the defense so quickly. Mai Di didn't jump very high, so Shi Lei, who went all out, easily surpassed his take-off height. shot space.

McGrady still made a shot. With almost no angle, McGrady forcibly changed the "dry pull" into a "back fall", but the hit rate in this case can be imagined.Perhaps in the goal highlights, we can see a lot of incredible shots, but at the same time we have to understand that in addition to showing that this player has a strong scoring ability, those things also say that his luck is also against the sky.

McGrady's performance today was so-so, the basketball he shot was a bit short, and the rebound was taken by Yao Ming, who had the upper hand. Jezzy Butler, who was as slow as an old lady because of his obesity, hit a hook.

Alston's defense is also average. Although he tried his best to harass Udry who is dribbling the ball, the effect is not great.After halftime, Udri quickly threw the ball to Finley.

Today, Battier defended Finley very well. Finley didn't get a chance to shoot, so he re-given the basketball to Udrih who ran beyond the three-point line on the other side.

Udrih missed a three-pointer, Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, and quickly handed it to McGrady, the Rockets made a fast break!

There are gains and losses. Although the advantage in tonnage allows Jie Qi Butler to carry Yao Ming in the paint, his huge body makes him lose some athletic abilities, such as jumping.After Udrih hit the iron with a three-pointer, he let Yao Ming easily take off the rebound.

This is a guy with no professional ethics. He was later abandoned by the Spurs. Apart from the failure to lose weight, a large part of the factor was his very irresponsible attitude towards the game.For example, this time, he could have delayed Yao Ming's pass and created opportunities for his teammates to return to defense, but he didn't do that, he didn't even do anything.

The offense and defense are switched instantly, and the attacker becomes the defender.Shi Lei, who was the closest to McGrady, quickly posted it. There are many people in the NBA who claim to be all-around, but few of them can play positions other than center as easily as Tracy McGrady.Mai Di held the ball and went down quickly, but Shi Lei used all his strength to keep up.

How to do a good job of defense, Bowen once said: "Here, there are so few people, he is so strong that he can score as long as he wants, and no one can stop them. So how do we defend these seemingly invincible existences? The answer is simple, that is to try our best to make it difficult for them to score every time. Yes, it is to consume their physical energy as much as possible. If we do this, our defense will be successful."

Shi Lei was already trying his best to defend, using his arms and chest to put pressure on McGrady.Just when he thought he was close to success, he paid the price for the experience he was most missing now.It was just a fake move, when Shi Lei was on the defense, McGrady took advantage of the situation to change direction, easily swayed away from Shi Lei, and dunked!
"Is this the peak McGrady, the top scorer in the NBA?" Seeing McGrady hanging on the basket, Shi Lei thought in a daze.
