Chapter 74 What I Want Is Jordan Not Pippen
Wang Xiao couldn't help frowning at the crisp sound of iron striking.
The tactic just now was undoubtedly a success. The Mavericks' insiders did not immediately follow up to help defend, and Curry had a lot of space to shoot.
But the three-pointer that was almost open was empty.
Wang Xiao keenly noticed that when Curry shot, he seemed a little anxious, and his shooting posture was a little deformed.
"Are you too nervous?"
That's right, after all, it's the first NBA game I've experienced, and the opponent is still the legendary point guard Kidd. I'm afraid anyone would be nervous.
This is a process that every professional player goes through.
On the other hand, the Mavericks' tactics still revolve around the star Nowitzki. The inside line received a sling pass from Kidd, and Nowitzki directly backed Jamison.
Nowitzki and Jamison have similar styles, both of which belong to the kind of shooting power forward with a long range.
But Nowitzki is obviously better than Jamison's scoring ability, and also has an absolute advantage in height.
The iconic stand-up golden rooster made an independent shot. Although Jamison tried his best to interfere with the opponent, the soft-touch Nowitzki still easily threw the basketball into the basket.
In the first few minutes, the Mavericks completely dominated the Wizards, especially at the point guard position. Curry, a first-year rookie, was almost educated by Kidd.
Several shots were interfered by Kidd and missed the basket.
What made Wang Xiao frown was that after a few times, Curry seemed a little apprehensive, passing the basketball in his hand several times, running to open up space to help his teammates create opportunities.
This is a smart approach. After being suppressed, he did not blindly shoot indiscriminately, but used his three-point deterrence to help his teammates open up space. Although he would still be suppressed by his opponent, his teammates could get a chance.
But Wang Xiao didn't think so.
Curry's position in the team is not as simple as a shooter!
Have you seen players like Jordan and Kobe who are not in good shape and don't help their teammates to open up space when they hit the iron frequently?
Although Curry will often do this in the future Warriors team, but in the current Wizards, there is no Durant, no Thompson, he doesn't need to cover for anyone, just score!
About 6 minutes into the first quarter, Kidd broke through Curry and rushed inside to make a foul. Wang Xiao took advantage of the situation to replace Curry, Butler and Haywood, and let Harden, Beverly and Jordan appear .
"Curry."
When Kidd executed a free throw, Wang Xiao walked over and sat next to Curry.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry... Coach." Curry bowed his head guiltily. "I played very badly just now and caused the team to fall behind."
"No, no, I didn't mean that." Wang Xiao shook his head, but Curry was dumbfounded by what he said. "You hardly touched the ball in the last few minutes, what did you think? Forgot what I asked for?"
"Teach...coach, no, Kidd's defense is too sophisticated, and my offensive efficiency is too low. Why don't you help your teammates open up space..."
Curry quickly said that although he didn't touch the ball much in the second half just now, after opening up space for Jamison Butler and others, the Wizards' scoring efficiency has improved significantly, at least compared to when he held the ball a few minutes ago Much stronger.
Before Curry finished explaining, he was interrupted by Wang Xiao.
"So what? Are you ready to admit defeat?"
Wang Xiao looked at Curry and asked.
Curry was a little speechless.
To be honest, no one will be reconciled to being suppressed by the opponent in all directions, even if the opponent is Jason Kidd, who is ranked among the top point guards in history.
"Remember, what I want is Jordan, not Pippen, I don't care how many shots you take in this game, but I want you to blow up the guy opposite you, understand?"
Wang Xiao said in a deep voice.
Curry was silent for a long time, then nodded vigorously.
……
In the second half of the first quarter, the Mavericks also replaced some substitute players.
Jason Terry, the best sixth man of the Mavericks, the most powerful firepower on the bench, his scoring ability is no less than that of the Spurs' sixth man Ginobili.
The Mavericks can always be a strong force in the West, and the head star Dirk Nowitzki has contributed a lot, but Terry's contribution must not be ignored.
Since 08, when he switched from the starting main force to the bench, Terry averaged 19.6 points per game for the Mavericks. He is the second highest scoring player in the team, second only to Nowitzki. When he was on the bench, Terry could always lead the Mavericks' bench to score crazy points and widen the point difference.
However, after Terry played today, the scores of the two teams unexpectedly did not widen as expected, but were still gradually shrinking.
In the Mavericks bench, the team's head coach Carlisle couldn't help standing up, and his eyes focused on the No. 13 rookie with a round face and beard.
Now Harden has not grown his iconic beard, but since he participated in the draft, he has not shaved his beard again. After a while, I am afraid that the beard will grow back.
Compared with his circular beard, what people care about more is his golf skills.
When Harden is on the court, the basketball is in his hands most of the time.
Another point guard who came off the bench, Beverly, is more like a shooting guard, constantly running around looking for open positions and waiting to catch and shoot.
When Harden in possession of the ball faced Terry, it was like Kidd facing Curry.
Harden, who is 1 meters tall and weighs close to 96 kilograms, is definitely a big tonnage among guards.
And when Terry, who is 1 meters and 88 kilograms, faced Harden, he couldn't stop Harden's breakthrough with the ball.
Terry himself is one of the representative figures who are strong in offense and weak in defense. It is normal that Harden cannot be guarded.
But on the offensive end, Terry faced Beverly.
Different from other rookies, Beverly University was suspended for one year due to cheating in the thesis. In desperation, he went to play in Europe. There, Beverly received professional training, and all kinds of basketball skills tended to be professionally perfect.
In terms of experience, he is much richer than players like Curry Harden who have only played in the NCAA and Summer League preseason games.
When Beverly, who is known for his strong defense and active play, faced Terry, Terry couldn't help but have a headache.
Fist is afraid of being young, and the two are similar in stature. Beverly is younger and more active than Terry, and has a certain amount of professional league experience. Although it is impossible to completely prevent Terry, he can still cause Terry a lot of trouble.
Under the ebb and flow, the Wizards' bench lineup led by Harden naturally suppressed the Mavericks' bench lineup.
When the first quarter ended, the hole dug by the main lineup was basically filled by Harden and others, and the point difference between the two teams was almost even.
