NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 151
At the end of the first quarter, Turiaf faced Chen Xiao with a more obvious defensive gap than Jordan, which made Paul realize that he still had to mobilize Jordan's enthusiasm to win this victory in Charlotte.

And Jordan's huffing and silent state is obviously not good for the team's victory, so Turiaf can't continue to go up to the top.

In that case, Chen Xiao on the opposite side may score 50 points in this game, or at least 40 points for the bottom line.

Most importantly, how does Paul cooperate with Turiaf?Can Turiaf catch an aerial pass that looks like it's going to fly out of the arena?

In Paul's view, Turiaf, who is not yet 30 years old, has completely become a mascot on the bench and can only play in garbage time.

"Pooh, DeAndre's defense has done his best, but Chen Xiao's touch is too good, we need him to help the team on the court." Paul came to DeNaglo and said softly.

"Maybe, I'll think about it. Chris, next I need your energy and aggressiveness." De Nagro briefly mentioned Paul's thoughts, but watched Paul make demands on him with scorching eyes.

"I will." Paul responded with a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

In the first quarter, his personal scoring performance was mediocre, and he didn't care about what to say at this time. He was determined to show "vitality and aggressiveness" later to make rookie coach De Nagro shut up.

……

At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Xiao, who sat on the sidelines for a while, played again. At this time, the Bobcats' 9-point lead had been eroded to 4 points.

In just a few minutes, the inside line of the Clippers was a combination of Odom and Turiaf.

Odom, who is 33 years old, fell off a cliff after leaving the Lakers. This year he returned to Los Angeles from Dallas and returned to the original point. He was selected by the Clippers as a rookie.

During the substitute period just now, Odom led a group of bench gangsters Bledssoah and Barnes, and he didn't expect to be well organized.

Take the defensive rebound, push forward quickly, and send a top pass to Barnes, and the ball leader completes an inside cut layup.

It was also a handy pass for Bledsoe. After receiving the ball, the blood cloth could attack the basket in one step, causing a foul by the Bobcats substitute center Heywood, and made two free throws at the free throw line.

In addition to assists, Odom also talked about his youth madness. After the confrontation, he completed a layup and caused a foul by Biyombo, scoring 2+1.

The two teams replaced most of the main lineup at the same time, and the Clippers still retained Crawford and Matt Barnes, who already held a "Best Sixth Man" trophy.

Except for Paul and Griffin, the Clippers' starting players are basically just the difference between starting and starting.

Like Butler and Green, they actually didn't play as much as Crawford, Bledsoe, and Barnes.

It seems that before the pig head period, the Clippers had a sixth man and bench bandit culture long ago.

Even in the last game against the Raptors, the difference between the two teams was only 4 points at the end of the third quarter. It stands to reason that the fourth quarter must be a fierce and popular quarter. How could they be in the main lineup?

Paul, Griffin and so on had to be arranged anyway, but De Nagro was quite courageous, letting the top five pure substitutes play the whole game, and in the last single quarter they beat the Raptors by 15 points and directly won the opponent.

……

After Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, instead of launching an offense immediately, he distributed the ball to Crawford on the left who received the ball from Jordan's cover.

Seeing that Jordan continued to advance to the 6 pick-and-roll, Chen Xiao, who was afraid of the threat of Crawford's attack, chose to move forward a little, not giving him the space to make an immediate shot through the pick-and-roll.

Crawford in front of him took off and made a shot, but instead of flying to the basket, the basketball was hoisted into the center of the paint.

After the block, Jordan Jr. jumped into the penalty area obliquely and took off the rebound in mid-air with both hands. Middleton, who was active in defense, had already rushed to help defend from the other side.

At this time, Jordan, who took the ball, ignored or maybe really didn't see Barnes, who was completely empty in the corner on the other side, but blew up the ball to try to end it.

The referee whistled, Middleton fouled early, and the Clippers made a sideline kick.

Little Qiaodan, who heard the whistle before he got up, was a little helpless, and soon he was about to "indirectly" dunk on Chen Xiao's head, venting his frustration.

"Smart foul, as a second-round pick, Khris Middleton's performance since the start of the game is still worthy of his pick. He has a good defensive awareness, has a certain accuracy in receiving and shooting, and can pass the ball to Chen Xiao.

When the defense was in place, he immediately chose to foul, not giving Jordan a chance to bomb the basket. "Brin praised a few words.

"This defense also reflects that Chen Xiao still has shortcomings.

As a 7-foot-3 center in shoes, although he doesn't have the huge weight like O'Neal and Yao Ming, it can be said that he has excellent mobility, but his ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is still flawed.

If it was like the Warriors facing David Lee's long-distance attack to the basket at the end of the game, then Chen Xiao can use his speed to chase back, and at this time in a narrow and small area, he will also show a side that cares about one thing and neglects another.

Of course, not only him, basically all defenders will face this problem. "

Van Gundy Jr., who coached Yao Ming and lost a lot of hair on the center's pick-and-roll problem, commented empathetically.

"Good D. Chris." Chen Xiao stroked Middleton's crew cut, and this time he relied on his little brother to make up for it.

Hey, foul on Jordan.

An idea suddenly popped up in Chen Xiao's mind, if there is a chance at the end of the quarter, he can kill Qiao.Jordan's free throw percentage this season may be even lower than that of Master Huo.

The Clippers serve from the sideline.

This time they switched sides, and Crawford, who was covered by Griffin, caught the ball and made a mid-range hit, narrowing the point difference for the Clippers again.

Paul came up to find Crawford instead of attacking himself. The reason is that the point difference continues to shrink.

This Chen Xiao hadn't touched the ball just before he came on the court, and the lead in the first quarter was about to be wiped out.

This must stop the decline and rebound immediately.

But you have to pay attention to strategy in how you play. Although Chen Xiao scored like chopping melons and vegetables in the first quarter, it was too exhausting for him to go in from outside the paint.

Even though the hook looks very relaxed and freehand, it requires physical support to position yourself in the front, create space in the back, and maintain the balance of your body after the confrontation.

Let's also learn from the Clippers to play pick-and-rolls. It's best to eat the Charlotte-flavored pancakes baked by Master Wo.

After signaling to Walker to play a pick-and-roll, Chen Xiao made a firm block.

Thinking that Chen Xiao would catch the ball in the low post like in the previous quarter, and Paul, who was just passing the ball from Walker, was unprepared and hung directly on Chen Xiao, unable to move for a while.

After switching defenders, facing the focused and aggressive Jordan, Walker took his time and accelerated his breakthrough towards the penalty area.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who broke away from Paul, had already run to the free throw line.

Walker jumped up with the ball in both hands, as if to directly challenge Jordan, received the ball in mid-air, twisted his waist, and threw the ball from behind to the free throw line.

Chen Xiao, who had already stepped into the paint, received the ball smoothly, and Griffin, who had been paying attention to this side, had already rushed over.

With Griffin in front and Paul in back, Chen Xiao didn't panic at all when he saw a teammate already posing for the ball, so he raised the ball and flicked it.

Mullens from outside the three-point line received the ball and made an open shot.

"Boom", Mu Zi, who just came up in the second quarter, played steadily and contributed to the Clippers' pursuit of points.

But there are also basketball boards.

This time, Mullens, who has no conflicts, is slightly stronger. After hitting the ring, the rebound bounced off, which was a long rebound.

Jordan under the basket was beyond his reach, while Griffin and Chen Xiao, who were facing the rebound, immediately fell into a fierce jam.

Even though Griffin had already occupied the position, and the white monster with abundant strength and excellent positioning skills was also firmly resisting Chen Xiao behind him.

But with his long arms, Chen Xiao picked melons from the back of Griffin's head when he faced Griffin who was occupying his body and bent his hips and stretched his hands desperately.

Griffin was suppressed by Chen Xiao, who was taller behind him. Griffin, who was explosive but unable to jump up, could only watch the basketball being picked off by Chen Xiao in front of his raised arms.

I didn't believe it anymore. Seeing Mullens who was still outside the three-point line and no one was defending him, Chen Xiao continued to give him trust.

Mullens sank the ball, aimed at the basket, and shot again.

"咚唰唰" hit the board and hit a three-pointer.

How does it feel that the strength is still too large, and the board is blinded.Watching the basketball smash into the basket, Chen Xiao had mixed thoughts.But it doesn't matter, just go in.

"This ball is undoubtedly due to Chen Xiao's offensive rebounds. He can grab rebounds and find teammates to pass the basketball in time."

The commentary in the live broadcast is relatively flat, and the live commentary Brian Knight is much more passionate:
"REBOUND! The omnipotent Chen! Use his long arm to easily pick off the rebound on the head of the white monster and assist Byron to score.

Chen Xiao's 7-foot-11-inch wingspan covered the sky and the sun, completely enveloping the white monster that stretched out its arms.

Look at Blake's envious eyes. He dreams of having a pair of long arms above 7 feet 2. "

Knight, you have very good eyes. You can see whether Griffin looks envious or not.Charlotte is brimming with huh.

Paul, who had a mediocre performance in the first quarter, showed his bee sting after playing in the second quarter, and first sent consecutive assists.

After assisting Crawford to hit the mid-range, he again assisted Crawford who was open outside the three-point line.

Then he dribbled the ball quickly to the outside of the three-point line. Facing Walker, who was waiting in full swing, Paul dribbled the ball behind his back, turned around and pulled the ball, and continued his crotch to fully mobilize Walker's defensive focus. At the same time, he found the shooting rhythm.

"Bang! Chris Cannon! After consecutive dribbles, Paul hit Walker with one hit." Seeing Paul's wonderful long-range shot, Breen yelled.

This is not over yet, Paul's ultimate move has never been a three-pointer.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Paul faced Chen Xiao, who was assisting in the defense, and also showed a crossover in a quick breakthrough.

Chen Xiao, who kept retreating to intercept Paul, was also taken aback, and missed the opportunity to interfere, allowing Paul to beat himself successfully.

Chen Xiao silently calculated the height difference between himself and Paul, and there was a difference of 40 centimeters.

This is extremely small playing extremely large, facing the big Paul with a mid-range buff, wouldn't he be able to raise his hand?Chen Xiao was optimistic and comforted himself.

Facing Walker who came back to catch the ball, Chen Xiao, who failed to make up the defense but quickly adjusted his mentality, still had a normal face and was in the mood to tease.

"How dare you show crossover in Charlotte, Kemba, you have to pay him back."

Before the end of the second quarter, Walker didn't return one, but Chen Xiao returned one instead.

Walker, who started to accelerate in the backcourt, was flying fast, and grabbed his defender in one step, replacing Crawford's Bledsoe.

Entering the penalty area, facing Jordan flying in front and chasing the jumping Bledsoe behind him, Walker took off with both feet, and pulled the bar from left to back for a layup.

In fact, Walker passed back at this time, so Chen Xiao, who was behind him at this time, could complete an easy dunk.

But as an attacking guard, Walker must still take his breakthrough layup as his first choice. Isn't the lever twisted like this to score the ball beautifully under the defense of several people.

When Walker jumped up to pull the bar, Chen Xiao, who was already in the paint area, could intuitively see that Walker's pull bar was still a little bit reluctant in the face of the front and rear two pincers, and the magnitude was incomparable to Rose.

The basketball hits the backboard from the bottom up, and the arc of the bounce shows that this is a failed layup.

But it doesn't matter, Chen Xiao will make a move.

Chen Xiao stepped into the collision line with a stride, and Chen Xiao, who was thinking of bending his knees and jumping up, would be a dunk, but found that as soon as he stretched out his hand, the ball across the basket had already fallen into his hands, and the ball fell quite quickly.

At this time, Chen Xiao, who was hit by something on the side of his body and completed a one-handed dunk first, looked down.

Paul was standing sideways to himself.

It was evened, and Chen Xiao also returned 2 points to Paul. It happened that both of them were in the nature of filling in, one defending and the other rushing to grab rebounds.

"It's so funny that Chris Paul wants to compete with Chen Xiao for rebounds.

Chen Xiao, who was the first to copy the rebound, stood still, and Paul, who took off, seemed to want to jump up the mountainside of this mountain. "The live commentator Knight laughed into the microphone.

"This should be considered a dunk, right? This is too funny!" After laughing, he continued to add.
