Legend of Yi Emperor Rebirth
Chapter 16: Horford's helplessness
The game time continued to elapse. In the last two minutes of the first half, as Zhu Fangyu made an open two-pointer and the score reached 48 to 48, the China Men’s Basketball Team tied the gap.
In the past three minutes, Horford still failed to find a way to crack Yi Jianlian's defense.
For Horford, there may be no way. When the defender would rather not grab rebounds, assist teammates, or even assist in defense, he will follow you intently and pester you. Whether you have the ball or not, he will stick to you like a brown sugar , It is difficult for you to come up with a cracking method.
Especially when the strength of both sides is similar.
continued to hide, the Eagles' summer league head coach finally couldn't help it, and submitted a substitution application to the referee's bench, replacing Horford.
"You take a break and think about how to play the next game!" The head coach didn't criticize Horford too much. The big man in front of him is the hope of the Eagles' revival. He dare not insult at will.
This is probably the difference between a high-ranked player and a low-ranked player.
Hawes hid in the corner and cried silently.
***
Horford’s rest did not fundamentally reverse the situation on the court. Without Horford’s defense, Yi Jianlian let the tiger go back to the mountain and regained control of the game with a strong cut and skilled turn-over jumper.
Although he consumed a lot of physical energy on the defensive end in the second quarter, he has been trying on the offensive end. He played 6 times in the first five minutes. He also shot in the past three minutes, although his shooting rate is not high. But it has something to do with the defender, his offensive feeling has been maintained.
Once the shackles disappeared, he was full of firepower. He scored 6 points in the last two minutes with a sudden shot, helping the China Men’s Basketball Team to open a 5-point gap before the end of the first half.
"Nice work, Ah Lian!" Li Chunjiang greeted Yi Jianlian who was off the court and patted his **** affectionately, "You are really improving now!"
Yi Jianlian was photographed to the point that his heart felt terrified. This old man is very bad! With such skillful movements, he patted his **** without a trace, and suppressed the greasy feeling in his heart.
turned his head and sat down in his seat, Yi Jian connected the towel handed over by the staff.
Cool!
At the end of the second quarter, his mood was completely two extremes compared to when he was off the court at the end of the first quarter. He successfully completed a wave of counterattacks, which was a beautiful turnaround.
Now it's up to the second half. As long as Horford can't adjust in time, the media's evaluation of him and Horford should not be too different after the game.
To be strong, Horford must be stronger. Yi Jianlian knew that as long as he was not beaten unilaterally, he could accept it.
It is Horford after all. At the end of the rookie season, he can score a quasi-double-double of 10.1 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Even if it is now compared to the league, the power forward position is not in the top 20, and the top 30. It's definitely on the top of the list.
For Yi Jianlian, with his current strength, he can be evenly matched with the league's top 30 power forwards, what else do you want?
You can't make a fat man in one bite, the road is still far!
***
Horford is not angry? He is definitely angry. He clearly has so much strength than Yi Jianlian, but he just can’t squeeze the place, especially when he catches the ball. Because of his wingspan, he needs to step up or jump to receive the ball, but just these moves. After finishing it, the position that he managed to squeeze into doesn't belong to him anymore.
This made him a little headache, and it made him feel very aggrieved.
Originally, he still wanted to completely blow up Yi Jianlian, and let the general manager of the Eagles, Mr. Danny Ferry, see his strength! It's all right now. First, I don't want to break things down. Can I suppress Yi Jianlian a little? This has become a big problem.
All in all, Horford’s style also restricts his performance. His style of play is destined to shine in a team with a mature system, but the summer league is a group of temporarily formed players, let alone tacit understanding. It's a tacit understanding. It's a big problem whether you can pass the ball well. A large part of the Hawks players play the ball on their own. Even if there are three defenders in front of them, they do it on their own and don't care at all.
Most of them belong to training camp contracts. Once the summer league is over, if there is no outstanding performance, they will definitely be waived.
The problem of rice bowls is a matter of life and death, a matter of life and death. Who wants to surrender his life to others, doesn't he just play the ball?
Horford was firmly entangled by Yi Jianlian. For them, it was good news, so that they could have more shots. Otherwise, these **** must be handed over to him for distribution. If the ball is scored, he will pass it well. If the ball is not scored, your shooting ability is not good. Anyway, the problem lies with you and the praise lies with him.
Therefore, no one will give Horford a substitution defense, pick-and-roll and other screens, they would like Yi Jianlian to lock Horford.
This is where Horford was helpless, and it was also the reason why he was ultimately ineffective in the second quarter. Even the coach could not help him.
The head coach of the summer league basically does not lay out tactics and is free to play!
After the game was played, the coach, in addition to giving pointers to the players that the individual management focused on, might have done the most at other times to replace players.
In contrast, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Fortunately, Yi Jianlian participated in the summer league with the China Men’s Basketball Team. He had teammates to help cover when he attacked. Although the quality is not high, it is better than nothing.
Horford secretly envy, but he doesn’t say...
***
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Horford also made adjustments, asking for the ball more aggressively, attacking more resolutely, and from the beginning of the game, only the basket was left.
On the defensive end, he no longer tried his best to defend Yi Jianlian. He just blocked a little bit. Once Yi Jianlian exerted his strength, he immediately let go.
Obviously he wants to keep all his stamina on the offense.
This is undoubtedly a smart choice, especially if the teammates are selfish.
The scene was a lot better all at once. From the lockup in the second quarter to the explosion in the third quarter, Yi Jianlian and Horford are coming and going, and there is a strong possibility that sparks hit the earth.
However, although they are all goals, Horford obviously has more scoring methods, small hooks, changing hands and playing boards...In contrast, Yi Jianlian's offense is a bit simpler, either layups or shots, and he looks inferior to Horford. So easy-Horford Yi Jianlian with full firepower on the offensive end is unstoppable. After all, there is a 7-point power gap that can be compensated by hard work alone.
Entering the reasonable collision zone, Horford can squeeze Yi Jianlian away with just a little bit of strength. This is no way.
Horford also scored 14 points in the third quarter, beating Yi Jianlian's 11 points and helping the Eagles surpass the score by 4 points.
77 to 73, the game entered the fourth quarter. The scene of only a few hundred people gradually became lively because of the scoring tide of you and me in the third quarter. It is estimated that no one had expected before the game that this summer league would change because of Yi Jianlian and Horford. It has to be so good-looking.
