Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle was a little confused when he saw Irving's breakthrough combo. What's the situation?
Is he right?
Or, Kidd is already old, and it takes a while for the hot car to start?

Is it that simple to be intruded by Owen?

In addition, Heywood's defensive ability is much worse than Chandler's!

It is understandable that Kidd is old, but Haywood is a bit unreasonable!

And it shouldn't be!

Owen, this is the rookie player's first show!
How do you feel that you have improved so much compared to the previous preseason?

Owen turned back to defend, and excitedly collided with Wu Di in mid-air to celebrate!

Carlisle was very confused about Owen's promotion, but Wu Di was very clear about what happened.

At the beginning of the draft, Irving, Butler, and Thomas were at the starting level, rotation level, and main rotation level respectively.

The entire offseason lasted almost three months, and several people had been recording the program. During the free time of recording the program, Wu Di, apart from fighting Kobe one-on-one, would pull the three of them to earn money for training.

Originally as a fan, Wu Di knew the direction of their future playing style. With the blessing of the president's eye, the training of the three of them was more effective. Butler and Thomas Jr. were successively promoted to the main rotation level and starting level, while Irving was limited. The initial rating was relatively high and has not been improved.

This time, through the tempering of the preseason, coupled with the extra training with Wu Di after the preseason, he was successfully promoted from the starting level to the superstar before the opening game!

Quickly filled the point guard vacancy caused by Davis's decline!

"Ouch! Owen's breakthrough!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Zhang Weiping smiled from ear to ear and said:

"The knight really picked up a treasure this time!"

Yang Yi on the side looked at the slow-motion replay on the screen and was filled with emotion:

"The core strength is too strong! Why can these movements deceive Carter and Heywood, because the range is very large, and his center of gravity is very low, and he is still running fast. Interested audience friends will play next time." Try it in basketball and you will know how difficult it is..."

Zhang Weiping was originally happy and peaceful, but when he heard this, he interrupted Yang Yi and said:
"But you have to be careful when you do it! Ordinary people can easily get out of breath or get injured when doing this kind of movement! Why can't other people do these movements of Owen with such an elegant feeling, because the requirements for physical fitness are too high. Taller……"

Following the two's commentary, the Mavericks switched offense. Nowitzki helped Kidd pick and roll, then caught the ball and dropped Love, and then faced Jamison's defense drift and hit a layup!

There was a burst of cheers at the scene!

2-2!

"Hey, King Nuo Tian is too decisive! Tsk tsk, the anger on both sides is a bit high today! Just do it, without any temptation!"

Yang Yi laughed.

"The point of the needle is right! I don't know the truth of what happened yesterday, but the two sides must be dissatisfied with each other. The Mavericks said that Wu Di robbed Nowitzki's FMVP, and the Cavaliers said that the Mavericks robbed them of their championship. , this year's Christmas game is no less hot than another Lakers vs. Heat!"

Zhang Weiping said jokingly.

The offense and defense changed, and Irving pushed forward with the ball again, but this time Kidd ended his "hot car". Facing Jamison's pick-and-roll, he used his sophisticated defensive position in advance to block Irving's breakthrough route.

Owen failed to make a frontal breakthrough, turned around and quickly scanned the positions of the Cavaliers, as if looking for a suitable passing route, but suddenly turned around and broke through again. Kidd's consciousness kept up this time, but his body was half a beat behind!
However, Marion made up for it very well this time. Owen raised his arm and threw the basketball to Jamison who was free.

Since Jamison played closed last season, although his body has recovered, his speed has slowed down a lot, especially in front of the fast Marion, his lethality is not as good as before, and he can only turn the ball to the winger. Wu Di.

When Wu Di caught the ball, he glanced at the timer. There were only 6 seconds left, and he rushed towards the basket with full explosive power!

Yes, without any shoulder shaking, just relying on physical fitness and half-human strength!

"So fast!"

Carter's eyes were full of shock, whether he had prepared in advance, or was half of his body thrown away by Wu Di in an instant!
It's not that he didn't match up with Wu Di last season, but that was before the All-Star Game, and Wu Di's explosive power was far less terrifying!
Not only explosive power, but also excellent control ability!

Laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. Carter is a top player in the NBA as a physical talent. He knows how much sweat and talent this seemingly simple goal requires!

Looking back at the slow-motion frame-by-frame analysis, we can see clearly that Wu Di has completed the adjustments such as hip rotation in advance before catching the ball. The moment he catches the ball, he pushes the ball and turns around. The potential energy that was originally passed was completely converted by Wu Di Became the speed of breakthrough!

Under the protection of the extreme control ability, the terrifying explosive power suddenly exploded!

There is no fake action at all, and there is no need, just do it in front of him without reservation, can he keep up?

However, when he gritted his teeth and took a horizontal step to return to the defense, he suddenly passed by Wu Di who suddenly stopped and pulled back, and then helped Wu Di block Nowitzki who came to double-team ...

Seeing this, Wu Di pulled it up without delay!

Jump to the highest point, press the wrist and shoot——

Swish!
The basketball spins and falls into the net!

There are even 6 seconds left in the 1.3-second attack time, and a splash has already appeared!
Easy and freehand, 3 points credited!
2-5!

Although Wu Di didn't activate the flying mode for this shot, since the talent points of 1.2 million dollars last time, his long-range shooting attribute has reached the legendary level of 95. Now he is full of energy, and there is a vast ocean in front of him. Down!

The booing instantly boiled over!

In the second game of the finals, the Cavaliers relied on Wu Di's unsolvable range to make their heifers step on the brakes-stop the bullying!
I thought that with Carter joining this season, their pressure from Wu Di would be reduced, but it didn't seem to be of much use, Carter has completely become Wu Di's living target...

Could it be that the four major shooting guards have been unable to stop Wu Di's footsteps?
Carlisle frowned, no, no!
This rhythm feels so wrong!
Although Carter cooperated with Nowitzki in the pick-and-roll and hit a three-pointer very aggressively to tie the score, the rhythm still made him feel too uncomfortable!
Cavaliers played too easily!

Wu Di didn't look like he was putting all his honors on his shoulders. Instead, he seemed to be training soldiers, feeding Owen the ball, and the state of everyone on the test field...

Damn, they were the champions last season!
Cavaliers have no right to be so arrogant in front of them!

However, the knight is so arrogant!
Carlisle's judgment is very accurate. The Cavaliers' current style of play was discussed by Wu Di and Scott before the game.

After experiencing all kinds of things last season, the Cavaliers will no longer be as exhausted as before, especially in the regular season. The focus is to train three rookies to integrate into the Cavaliers' system, and to consolidate the status of Love and Jordan.

Although Irving has been recognized as a superstar in the system, there are still many problems to be solved, such as the problem of adapting to the intensity of the NBA.

Therefore, the Cavaliers will let Irving play the main attack in the first quarter and even the first half, so that Irving can play confidently when he is physically strong.

And Irving did not live up to Wu Di's expectations. Although he was just a rookie who had just landed in the NBA, he became more and more excited as he played, and he was evenly matched with the long-famous Nowitzki!
So, at the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 28-24. Wu Di didn't make much effort, and only scored 7 points with three catches, while the Mavericks were already 4 points behind!
However, Owen's shortcomings were also quickly exposed. He lacked confrontation and was easily targeted!

First, Kidd kept covering with Nowitzki to complete the defense change, and then Nowitzki named Irving to complete the score, pulling the score to 28-26, and then the Mavericks' zone defense also came back again!

The core of the Mavericks' zone defense lies in the rotation and flanking, and the rotation and flanking is essentially for everyone to share the moving distance of the double-teamer.

It sounds simple, but it requires players to have deep defensive skills and a good tacit understanding.

Owen came to the left wing with the ball, and Wu Di came to help him pick and roll. Carter immediately double-teamed, but in essence, he pretended to double-team and stuck to Wu Di.

As a new player who joined the Mavericks, Carter made up for the lack of tacit understanding with his super high IQ. Irving didn't find a chance and could only bring the ball to the bottom corner. Marion double-teamed him, and Nowitzki came to the center to take care of Love. with Jamison.

Seeing this situation, Owen bowed decisively to Buddha, Kidd's center of gravity fluttered slightly, Owen decisively released the ball and chose to hit Kidd's front foot!
However, this was a trap that Kidd had designed before!
When Owen protrudes half a step, Marion has already double-teamed him. Owen can only jump up and lift the ball into the air, misleading Nowitzki that he wants to pass the ball to Love, and wait for Nowitzki to make a mistake in his judgment and make a defense Pass the ball to Jamison after the pass line moves!

It's just that although Nowitzki was misled, Kidd was not deceived!
"broken!"

With Zhang Weiping shouting, on the big screen, Kidd stopped the ball in the air!
Owen was a little at a loss, but Wu Di walked back to the defense at a brisk pace. Kidd knew that Wu Di was good at blocking shots by flying, so he went around a second before he could join the ball with a fast break, and started playing positional warfare again!
"One more (one more choice)! One more!"

Carlisle shouted from the side. This is the core of the Mavericks' offense. The first threat is to pass the ball, that is, to let go of selfish desires and create better offensive opportunities by passing the ball!
However, after Kidd slowed down, he was directly surrounded by Wu Di. There was no way to shoot, no way to break through, and it was even more impossible to pass the ball!
Nowitzki hurried over to help Kidd pick and roll, then hand-to-hand to catch the ball and forcibly switch defenses. While rescuing his old partner, he used his height to trap Love and Wu Di, and passed the ball fiercely to Carter!
Carter made a decisive three-pointer!

Hit it!

28-29!

"Beautiful conduction!"

At the Mavericks' home commentary booth, the commentator Olla Naby waved his arms excitedly and shouted:

"The knights are finished! They have to accept the fact, no matter how cruel it is, they have to accept that they are one level behind the Mavericks!"

The commentator next to Nabi, who is also a famous Mavericks star, Derek Harper, said with a smile:
"Although the rookie of the Cavaliers has played at the level of the No. [-] pick, his experience is still too low. He has no power to parry under the Mavericks' zone defense..."

beep!
Scott called a timeout, arranged a tactic to break the zone defense, and looked at Wu Di with questioning eyes. He wanted to take the ball back from Irving and hand it to Wu Di.

Irving's three-point shooting rate is not low, but his own style of play is a strong breakthrough style of play, which was severely restrained by the Mavericks' defense.

But Wu Di shook his head, Mavericks just came here!

He was worried that Owen wasn't under enough pressure!

And not to mention overtaking by 1 point, even if overtaking by 10 points, he wouldn't panic!

Seeing this, Scott didn't say any more, Wu Di is almost his belief now, since Wu Di shook his head, then he is not afraid!
Seeing that Scott had no intention of stopping him at all, Owen was a little moved. He wanted to prove that his emotions were even worse, and he returned to the field and tried his best to cause damage.

However, the reality is cruel. His current style of play is still too immature. After being figured out by the Mavericks, a group of old guns, he is strictly restricted!

This is also the reason why Irving did not perform well in the Cavaliers' early single-core leadership in his previous life. Although Owen's offensive ability is very strong, but his physical talent is there, it is too easy to be targeted by opponents!

"51-60, the score in the first half, tsk tsk, the gold content of the Mavericks championship is definitely not low!"

In the live broadcast room of the sports channel, Yang Yi shook his head and smiled.

"That's for sure. The Mavericks were able to sweep the Lakers and surpass the Thunder's three young masters, all thanks to this offensive and defensive system that tends to be great!"

Zhang Weiping then laughed and said:

"However, I think it's still too early to draw conclusions on the game. Wu Di hasn't exerted much effort yet!"

Wu Di did not exert much energy. In the first half, he made 7 of 5 shots on the court and only scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. His physical strength was basically not consumed.

Soon, at the beginning of the second half, Nowitzki used the Golden Rooster as soon as he came up and scored two more points to expand the score to 51-62!

"King Nuotian's move of the golden rooster to be independent is so harmful, it's really incomprehensible!"

Yang Yi imitated Nowitzki with a smile.

"That's right, Nuo Tianwang is 2 meters tall, plus the space created by the raised right leg and the very high arc parabola, it's too difficult to cover!"

Zhang Weiping took over the conversation and said:

"Didn't Coach Carlisle say that Nuo Tianwang wanted to erect a statue in front of the gymnasium? I feel that if this is true, it must be erected in the shape of a golden rooster!"

On the court, Nowitzki couldn't help but spray trash talk at Wu Di:
"Little brat, you deserve a beating! You don't deserve to be MVP at all, let alone FMVP!"

Although the Mavericks took the lead on the field, he was very uncomfortable because Wu Di had such a high shooting rate and such a good competitive state, but he kept getting caught up!
This made him inevitably feel that Wu Di has the confidence to recover the point difference behind the Cavaliers at any time!

It was like he was racking his brains to do all kinds of questions in the examination room, but when he looked up, he found that the top student was sleeping in the corner!

Who can bear this?

Wu Di twisted his neck and said with a smile:
"I just took it, what can you do with me!"

Nowitzki's eyes bulged in anger. He usually seldom talks trash with people, but this time he really couldn't bear it anymore:
"I've seen too many geniuses like you. You rise fast and fall faster! Your competitive attitude can't support your honor at all..."

Wu Di narrowed his eyes:
"Stop talking nonsense, my MVP trophy is here for you to get it, can you get it?"

Nowitzki's eyes were red, and he was obviously really angry, while the other Mavs players heard the conversation between the two, and they all turned into angry kings.

But soon they felt even more uncomfortable, because Wu Di really started to exert his strength!

Wu Di asked for the ball from the left wing, and Marion immediately double-teamed from the low position of the left elbow!
Vince Carter opened his arms and bent his knees, walking on thin ice. He knew that Wu Di was going to push to his left, but...

Wu Di shook his shoulders violently, and he stepped to the left counterintuitively. Sure enough, Wu Di seemed to be pulling back the next moment!

However, after Wu Di pulled back, he was under his crotch, and suddenly changed direction to rush to his right!

Carter was startled, this action was too fast and beyond his expectation, he subconsciously turned back to the right to defend, after all, after Wu Di changed direction, his front foot protruded!
But Wu Di's right hand, which wanted to dribble the ball under his crotch, held the ball and did not let it go. He flicked the ball violently in the air like anti-gravity, and rushed to his left again!

"Gift crab!"

Carter, who passed by Wu Di, couldn't help but explode, and then he could only watch as Wu Di swung his arm and thrust into the Mavericks' empty inside line, and then rode on Nowitzki, who stepped forward to defend, and swung his arm. round!

Bang!
Not only did Nowitzki fail to stand up this time, Wu Di rode under him instead!

The basketball was dunked into a bottle!
53-62!

The knight's counterattack begins! (end of this chapter)
