Chapter 74 Born with supernatural powers?
Popovich said seriously: “Jamie Zhang, tell him that his task is to match up against Wolverine. I believe his strength can withstand Wolverine.
Tell him to remember to keep the Wolverines away from the basket. If he can accomplish this task, I can let him play at least 20 minutes today."
"Oh, great!"
Jamie Zhang was delighted and quickly translated: "Bart, your task is to deal with Wolverine. Don't let him get close to the basket. The coach will let you play for at least 20 minutes today."
"Really?"
Bart was so delighted that his back teeth showed.
"That's great, the bus has a chance." Sun Zhenping said happily in the CCTV live studio in Yanjing.
Zhang Heli said expectantly: "Against Zhongqiu, Daba has the advantage in technical experience, and he is also very strong, so he should be able to win.
In fact, Zhongqiu's weaknesses are very obvious. On the offensive end, except for the basket, he can't even score near two points, and he is almost not threatening.
On defense, he played well today, but he was only good in one-on-one defense, and his help defense was not good. "
Sun Zhenping nodded and said, "The Spurs can use the pick-and-roll tactic to target Zhongqiu's weakness. Big Bara can go out to set a screen. He has three-pointers and mid-range shots. He can stay outside after the pick-and-roll. Zhongqiu should not be able to defend against the pick-and-roll tactic now."
"Yes, on the defensive end, we just need to use the big bus to hold off Zhongqiu." Zhang Heli said.
The game resumed, 25:28, the Knicks led, the Spurs attacked.
When He Zhongqiu saw Daba coming on stage, he smiled and nodded, and Daba did the same.
Daba's low-post playing style is like a bulldozer. His movement is too slow, so he relies on his strength and tonnage to squeeze in little by little.
He Zhongqiu defended inside and prevented Daba from entering the paint area. Daba tried his best to squeeze in, but could not move forward even an inch.
"This rookie is really powerful!"
There was no way to squeeze in at all, which surprised Bart, whose tonnage exceeded 130 kilograms. Seeing is believing, and he believed it only after personal contact.
He was very surprised. He knew his own strength very well. He didn't even dare to train his strength in his country because his muscles and bones were very strong and he was born with supernatural powers. He didn't need to train at all. Could it be that He Zhongqiu was also born with supernatural powers?
"The bus's power is okay." He Zhongqiu said secretly.
He almost tried his best, but he didn't use the inch-force and burst-force that he used against Duncan and David Robinson.
It’s not that he showed mercy, but Daba was just trying to get into position and didn’t have the ball in his hands.
At this time, the basketball was in the hands of Stephen Jackson on the left three-point line. He waved his hand and called for a pick-and-roll.
Daba quickly ran out and stood on the left side of the madman. Stephen Jackson broke through from the right side with the help of the wall, and rushed to the left elbow area on the side near the top of the arc.
After the madman walked around the bus with a wide door panel, he was already two steps behind.
Following the ball is a deep-rooted playing habit. He Zhongqiu, who followed the ball, suffered from his old habit again. He switched defense decisively, turned around and followed Stephen Jackson.
Stephen rushed into the left elbow area and was stuck by He Zhongqiu on his left hand side. Feeling the powerful force, he was forced to change direction to the right and his speed was reduced. He barely made it into the paint area.
"here."
The bus, which was parked one step inside the 3-point line at 50 degrees on the left wing, clapped and shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, in a hurry, he used Mandarin and no one could understand him.
In front of him was a madman. After He Zhongqiu changed defense, he quickly stood in front of the bus.
After Stephen Jackson received the ball, he took two steps to the basket, but was already squeezed to the front right side of the basket by He Zhongqiu. He barely jumped half a foot and sent the ball to the board with his right hand.
"Snapped!"
He Zhongqiu pressed the ball onto the backboard with his left hand and then grabbed it.
"Clap clap clap..."
Madison Square Garden suddenly burst into applause.
"Snapped!"
Just as he took the ball, Stephen Jackson quickly slapped his left hand that was holding the ball.
"Di!"
The referee who was very close blew the whistle. This was the Knicks' home court, and he called a foul on Stephen Jackson.
"what?"
Stephen Jackson was surprised to find that he couldn't knock the basketball that Wolverine was holding with one hand away with a slap. He Zhongqiu smiled and threw the ball to the referee.
What good is that by stealing the ball from him?
As a master of Eagle Claw Kung Fu, the ball in his hand is his weapon. If it is knocked away by a random slap, he is just a shitty master.
Not to mention hitting his hand, even if you hit his ball directly, he can release the force in an instant. With his claw strength, it is very difficult to knock his ball away.
He makes a lot of mistakes now, but the ball has never been stolen from his hands. The only time it was stolen was when he was dribbling and attacking.
The Knicks served the ball, and the madman ran to the top of the arc with the ball and threw a three-pointer, which he made.
At 25:31, the Spurs were trailing by 6 points and called a timeout.
"The Knicks played an 11 to 2 attack wave, and the key was Zhongqiu's performance." Sun Zhenping said happily.
Zhang Heli nodded and smiled, "Yes, in four minutes, Zhongqiu made 2 of 2 shots, missed 1 free throw, and got 4 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 1 block. This performance is even better than in the first quarter."
Popovich replaced Tony Parker and rookie Ginobili. There was no change in the interior. David Robinson could not play today. Duncan only went down to rest for two minutes and needs to rest more.
"Greg, let me go," Duncan said.
Popovich shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. This is just a regular season game. We win if we can. Losing won't affect us."
Duncan didn't say anything else. After all, it was just an away game in the Eastern Conference. If it was a Western Conference team, he would insist on playing.
In the end, the Knicks won the game, 97:105, winning by 8 points.
"Congratulations Zhongqiu. You played for 32 minutes today, which is the longest playing time in the six games." Zhang Heli said with a smile after the game.
孙真平道:“一共13投8中,5罚2中,拿到18分9篮板2助攻4抢断2盖帽4失误4犯规的数据。”
Zhang Heli said with a smile: "Today I made a rare shot off the backboard, but it missed. Duncan and Daba blocked his shot, and he blocked theirs. I also missed a dunk and a layup.
His offense is impeccable. Although he can only attack under the basket, with his extremely strong confrontation ability and athletic ability, he has a place under the basket even when facing superstar Duncan. His offense under the basket is the guarantee for the Knicks to win today.
In addition, Zhongqiu played well in rebounding today, grabbing 9 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds, setting a new record for himself in a single game.”
"There were also steals, a record 4 times." Sun Zhenping said with a smile.
After talking about Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time, the two finally talked about Bart.
孙真平说道:“巴特尔今天得到了13分钟的上场时间,这是他在马刺打得最长的一场,3投1中,得到了2分2篮板1盖帽1失误2犯规。”
Zhang Heli said: "This is the first time that He Zhongqiu faced off against a superstar, not to mention veteran David Robinson, but just Duncan.
邓肯今天在中秋的头上25投12中,命中率48%,9罚7中,得到了31分14篮板2助攻2抢断2盖帽5失误2犯规。
His performance was certainly much better than that of Chu-Autumn, and he played like a superstar.”
Sun Zhenping said: "Duncan's shooting percentage today was average, three percentage points lower than usual, because his attack under the basket was lower than usual."
Zhang Heli nodded and said, "Yes, under the strong confrontation of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is difficult for Tim Duncan to get to the basket.
His percentage of offensive shots under the basket this season is 29.5%, and his percentage of shots near two points, that is, shots within the restricted area and outside the reasonable collision zone, is 36.9%. Today, these two figures are 18% and 48% respectively, and his offensive shots under the basket have decreased by 11%.
But this is just the regular season, he definitely didn't try his best, there's no need, his efficiency in the playoffs is higher than the regular season."
At this point, he picked up a data sheet and looked at it, then said with a smile: “All the games in December 02 were played, and there were six games in total during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which only took half a month.
总共48投34中,命中率高达70.8%,32罚16中,场均14分5.5篮板1助攻1.1抢断1.6盖帽3.8失误4失误。
Among all the rookies, including Yao Ming, Stoudemire, and Caron Butler, his shooting percentage is the highest, and no one else exceeds 50%. "
Sun Zhenping said with some regret: "If there were not so few games, this data could really compete for the best rookie. I hope I can have a better performance during the Mid-Autumn Festival next month."
Zhang Heli shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about other people. He definitely can't compete with Yao Ming this month. Yao Ming should be the Rookie of the Month this month."
Sun Zhenping nodded quickly and said, "Yao played 15 games in December, with 8 wins and 7 losses, and the team's record is better than the Knicks.
个人8次两双,12月份场均17.1分10.3篮板2.73次盖帽,新秀中都是排名第一。
He scored 27 points against the Spurs and 29 points against the Pacers, and his performance was much better than that of Zhongqiu.”
Zhang Heli said: "In fact, Zhongqiu can consider shooting more near two-point shots. Although the offensive efficiency under the basket is high, it consumes too much physical energy, and the confrontation is too great, which is also a problem for physical consumption and prone to injury.
In addition, if you want to be an excellent center, you must always practice mid-range shooting. Only mid-range shooting can make him more threatening on the offensive end.
Without mid-range shots, he has no threat when he leaves the basket. At most, he can rely on his teammates on the strong side to attract defense and then make a few cuts on the weak side. "
