ALL NOVEL The strongest bishop in the NBA
Chapter 75 Bad Play
Chapter 75 Bad Play
The Wizards' bench is unexpectedly powerful, especially Harden, who deserves to be the rookie selected with the second overall pick.
Harden's performance made many people sigh.
The ability to break through with the ball is very strong, and he is good at making opponents foul. At the same time, he has a good vision and can assist his teammates to score.
This is like a black version of Ginobili!
It was completely incomprehensible why Wang Xiao would put such a talented rookie on the bench.
In contrast, Curry, who made his debut, performed much worse.
In the first quarter, 5 of 4 shots were missed, and only 1 was a layup under the basket. Counting 4 free throws, they scored a total of [-] points, and there were [-] turnovers under Kidd's oppressive pressing.
However, when the second quarter started, Curry was still on the court and was still the team's main attack point.
Compared with the first quarter, Curry took more shots in the second quarter, and most of them were three-point shots from the outside.
It's just that he didn't find the touch, and his shooting accuracy was quite poor.
And because of Curry's frequent shots, the Wizards who lost their offensive rhythm were once again opened up by the Mavericks.
The Mavericks' home fans cheered loudly, while the few fans who came to support the Wizards were extremely angry.
"Hey! What are you doing? Let Harden play! Stop letting that kid shoot blindly! He can't do it at all!"
Wang Xiao remained indifferent from the beginning to the end.
At the end of the half, the point difference between the two sides had widened from the tie at the beginning of the second quarter to more than 15 points. The difference has already reached more than 20 points.
Back in the locker room, Wang Xiao explained to the players the tactics for the second half and the arrangements that needed to be adjusted.
Curry looked a little frustrated, because the team's lagging behind was almost entirely his fault.
What makes Wang Xiao feel relieved is that, as the big brothers of the team, Butler and Jamison both comforted Curry.
"It's okay rookie, this is the NBA, you need to learn to adapt, everyone will go through this process. What you need to do is remember the reason for failure every time you fail, and then avoid making the same mistakes."
Butler patted Curry on the shoulder and said.
Both Butler and Jamison are gentle people. Butler's life experience may not match the word gentle. When this guy was 15 years old, he was still working with gangsters and selling drugs, but at the age of 15 he After being released from prison for the 15th time, Butler suddenly had a big realization, and then he changed his past, started to play hard, and successfully entered the NBA.
Perhaps it is precisely because of that experience that Butler especially cherishes the time he is playing now, and he has a very positive and upright image on and off the court.
Butler tried several times to be a peacemaker, helping Arenas negotiate with Crittenton when the shootout happened.
Originally, Wang Xiao was still a little worried. He directly supported Curry in the top position. Butler and Jamison, the two original Wizards Big Three and All-Star players, would be dissatisfied and resist and bully Curry.
If such a thing really happens, he will not hesitate to trade the two, although the style of these two is very suitable for the current small ball tactics that the Wizards want to play.
Now it seems that such worries are completely unnecessary.
Wang Xiao ignored this scene, but continued to explain the tactical arrangement for the second half carefully.
It is not so much a tactical arrangement, but rather telling the players how to move on the court, using the deterrence of the three-point range to pull opponents who can help defend to a safe position, so that Curry can score offensively.
……
After the start of the second half of the game, Curry's performance was obviously much better than that of the long half.
He's starting to noticeably increase the number of times he hits the rim.
The frequent strikes in the first half let him understand that Kidd's defense is very strong, and his touch is not very good. It is meaningless to continue to float on the outside to shoot three-pointers. When the opponent starts to estimate his own breakthrough, the shooting space will be more open.
The effect of this change is really good. With the pick-and-roll of the center, Curry can easily rush into the interior, and most of the time there is only one center waiting for him in the interior-other players are all with three-point range. The Wizards players pulled to the perimeter.
Playing small and playing big is the most common and highly efficient style of play in the league. Although the center forward has a great advantage in height and length, his strong and tall body can easily be used by smaller players when they take off to fight.
In just 1 minute, Curry caused the Mavericks starting center Dampier two consecutive defensive fouls.
Curry's performance is getting better and better, but the offense of the Mavericks on the other side has not stagnated. On the contrary, with the outbreak of Nowitzki, the offensive efficiency of the Mavericks is even higher than that of the Wizards!
Although Jamison defended very hard, he couldn't defend Nowitzki at all. The opponent scored 16 points in the third quarter, and the point difference between the two teams also widened to more than 20 points.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Harden led the bench to try to chase points, but the point difference between the two teams was always above double digits. When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the score of the two sides was fixed at 119: 108 on.
The Wizards lost to the Mavericks on the road by 11 points.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 36 points and 12 rebounds in the whole game, completely blowing up Jamison who scored 17 points and 8 rebounds in the matchup.
In addition to Jamison with 17 points for the Wizards, Butler scored 14 points and Green scored 11 points.
And Harden, who came off the bench, made many people shine. Harden played 31 minutes as a substitute in the game, scoring 16 points and 7 assists. He was extremely efficient and also drove his teammates to score.
As for the starting point guard Curry, he played 36 minutes in the game and scored 22 points and 4 assists.
From the data point of view, it seems to be pretty good, but the 22 points were obtained with 21 shots.
三分球11投3中，二分10投3中，另外频繁冲击篮筐制造犯规得到8次罚球命中7球。
He made 21 of 6 shots, so low that he couldn't even reach 30%.
Curry's poor performance is largely responsible for the Wizards' loss.
At the press conference after the game, Wang Xiao did not let Curry attend.
What he needs now is to adjust his mentality and state, not to fight wits with media reporters.
At the press conference, the most asked by reporters was Curry's poor performance on the court.
"Coach Wang Xiao, from the first half of this game, Curry's performance was terrible. What do you think about this? Why did he continue to attack with the ball in the second half?"
"Everyone has bad times. This is Stephen's first NBA professional game. He is playing away from home against the legendary point guard Jason Kidd. It's normal for him to be out of shape. If it is bad, he will be replaced eagerly, because he needs time to adapt to all this, and he also needs a chance to prove that he can overcome these difficulties. If a potential player loses confidence, it's not worth it."
