Chapter 203 Zheng Tie stopped shooting three-pointers?
After the preseason, everyone didn't take the Los Angeles Clippers seriously.

But only Zheng Tie and the team knew that they were ready.

The roster has also been finalized, the inside area——

Big Ben + Rasheed Wallace + Wang Zhizhi + O'Neal + Maurice Taylor + Keith Close

Forward area——

Rodney Rogers + Ramond Murray + Eric Piakowski + Stephen Jackson

back outside --

Zheng Tie + Nash + Barry + Darrick Martin + James Collins

This is the final 15-man roster for the regular season.

Seeing this, Zheng Tie felt full of confidence. All that was left was to push the strength of these people to the peak, and then hone the team's chemical reaction and overall tacit understanding.

If it doesn't work, there are still bargaining chips like Taylor that can be replaced in the middle.

On the last day of October 1997, the NBA regular season opener began.

The Clippers' opponent is the Phoenix Suns. There is no other way. It's all because of the poor record last season. It's not easy for Stern to find a suitable opponent.Moreover, the president’s assistant Silva figured out what Stern was thinking and knew that the president wanted to praise the Clippers’ No. 7, so he spoke out——

Since the No. [-] opponent is not easy to arrange, then simply arrange for the Clippers an opponent who looks good and has a good reputation, but may not have such a famous opponent for the Clippers.Although this remark seems a bit awkward, it has already pointed out all the factors that Stern needs.

Watching, matchup topics, and at the same time, it is convenient for the Clippers or some people in the Clippers to swipe their data.

This is why Silva is more favored by Stern than Lars Granik, the vice president in the future.

He is very good at pondering his mind now, and then perfecting it.

Hearing this, Stern nodded. The Suns almost hacked the Supersonics last year. It wasn't because the team boss made a second mistake, and they were going to create a new little guy "American Dream".Therefore, it would be perfect for Zheng Tie to match up with Rex Chapman, who averaged 24.2 points per game against the Sonics last year and made nearly 10 three-pointers per game.

Anyway, Chapman also said that he learned the Clippers' No. 7 style of play before he played so well against the Sonics.

Just taking advantage of the heat, let the two touch each other.

When he heard that Zheng Tie was going to face off, Chapman also expressed his excitement, saying that he would play well in this game.

This game is played at the home court of the Clippers, so there is no need to go to the away game one day in advance, and you can wait for work at home.

This game is also a game that a group of domestic fans are eager to see through after a long grass period.

The head coach of the Suns this season is the more famous Celtics legend, Danny Ainge.

It was after he temporarily took over the Suns last year, and then almost made the feat of killing last year's runner-up Supersonics in the playoffs.

If it wasn't for Kevin Johnson's disobedience to command, he would have succeeded in the next game and become the top teaching material in the NBA.

So Angie, he has a lot of grudges, and he has two labels in college, one is "ruthless" and the other is "ruthless".

What team boss?What contributed to the team over the years?

As long as I feel that you are not suitable, I will backhand you and tell you to get out.

There are many examples of this in his career. Not to mention his brilliant college career, but also his professional career, he had a head-on confrontation with a 7-foot big man who was much taller than him in the playoffs, and they got into a fight in the end. Because this helped the Green Army win the series.At the same time, here comes the key point. Circle it and take the test. Anji is one of the first players in the NBA to specialize in three-point shooting.

For a long time, the Celtics took half or more of the team's three-pointers.

Yes, he has shot more than the three-point king Bird in the team for a long time, and his shooting percentage basically exceeds 4%!
So, you should now understand why Chapman is suddenly averaging close to 10 [-]-pointers per game in the playoffs.This is all planned by Angie, a three-pointer.

The Suns' three-pointers per game are as high as seventh in the league this season in the last memory.

And you can see the problem at a glance. The position on the opposite side and the atmosphere of the team are obviously telling you one thing. The former boss, Kevin Johnson, is honorably resigned from the position of big brother.

Let a big brother who has dedicated almost his entire career to the Suns suddenly become a role player without any transition. This is Ainge.

He really helped Rex Chapman become the team's scoring leader.

The two sides started to play, and you can hear the live commentary in the domestic commentary room, and it became lively again.

Xu Jicheng and Su Qun were the commentators for this game. As there were more and more games, the "double-level combination" alone was not enough. New players were needed to come out to commentate, and Su Qun was the one who caught up.

"The Clippers have recruited a lot of players this season, and some from our country are also included. I don't know if they will get a chance to play this game tonight. I think this is what many people are looking forward to."

"The Clippers' starting lineup has changed a lot compared to last year. We can see that the starting lineup and old players have gone a lot. Well, the main players have come out. Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace . New players, Kevin Johnson, the big brother of the Suns, Clifford Robinson from the Trail Blazers, and point guard Jason Kidd."

"This team caused a lot of trouble for the Sonics last year, so the Clippers will probably have a tough fight tonight."

"Kidd is a very good point guard. In his fifth season this year, he has already entered the All-Star team as a starter in his third season. He averaged 3 assists per game last year, second only to Mark Jackson and Stoke Tony, Nash and the big brother of the Suns, Kevin Johnson. So they will be a double point guard?" Su Qun said happily and saw Charman coming to greet Zheng Tie, and he shouted happily: " Zheng Tie is quite famous in the NBA now, maybe he wants to discuss the three-point shooting technique."

As for the fact, of course not, it was Charlemagne who came to protest with Zheng Tie.

Don't look at what this guy said when he was eliminated at the end of April, he said beautifully, but in his heart, he was not convinced by Zheng Tie.In addition, after so many years, he felt that he played so well last season. This season, the head coach Angie made it clear that he wanted to pressure Kevin Johnson to help him to the top. He felt that he should do something.

Well, it's right to do something like the boss.

You must know that Kevin Johnson came forward last year.

Zheng Tie stared at him for a moment, and before he had time to say anything, the "system" prompt came.

Passerby’s three-point challenge!

As the league's three-pointer king, you should teach Jiao Zuoren what a three-pointer is.

The evaluation will be calculated based on how well you beat your opponent in this game.

This……

Zheng Tie laughed suddenly, it's a good thing to have a mission, otherwise how could he level up quickly.

This ball "Tie Shen Turntable" is actually a 4-iron?This is looking down on people, isn’t it? How much can you get if you take it all?
Zheng Tie figured it out, he might as well find an opportunity to blast through the "30+ iron ultimate zone" to enjoy it.

Alas, there is no way, the main reason is that I am used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and a little "peanut" is really tasteless.

So the sudden mission gave Zheng Tie some extra motivation.

"Okay, I appreciate your courage." Zheng Tie patted Chapman's shoulder with a smile. He didn't look angry or furious at all. So gentle, not domineering at all?
There is always such an outbreak in the NBA, and it begins to regard the outbreak as the master of its normal strength.

This guy will leave the NBA in the next few years. Angie can't stand him for a season. It's not unreasonable to think that mud can't support the wall.

Brother, self-confidence is a good thing, but you have found the wrong person.

But Zheng Tie's pat on the shoulder was misunderstood by domestic commentators as a symbol of friendly conversation, and they had no idea what had just happened.

scrimmage.

After switching to the young Rasheed Wallace who is 211cm tall, the jump ball success rate is indeed much higher.

In the previous inside line, Da Ben's jump ball was too short, Kevin Duckworth had no fighting spirit, he just wanted to retire after finishing this season, Stanley Roberts was elbowed to the hospital by Da Ben before the start of this season Lying down for most of the season... Therefore, the success rate of the Clippers' scrimmage last season was very low.

The arrival of Rasheed Wallace has changed this situation. The height of 211cm and the wingspan of 220+ are enough.

McDyess on the opposite side was only 206cm. Wallace won the jump ball and the ball went to the Clippers.

At this time, Angie suddenly shouted from the sidelines: "Hurry up and retreat, what are you doing! Don't let them fight fast!"

Ouch, you still have some skills, Zheng Tie glanced at An Ji.

This ball...

The Clippers really didn't play a wave of fast play, because the defensive lineup on the opposite side is actually very "quick and quick".

The tallest one is Clifford Robinson at 208cm, and he is also very light. He is a very agile inside man. Thanks to this, he has won the best defense several times in his career even though he is not very good at protecting the rim. line-up.Last season he had 21.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists. The key is that he had more steals than blocks.

From here you can get a general idea that he is a defensive and control style rather than a traditional inside line who directly protects the basket.

Before McDyess was injured, he was also very fast. He is only in the third grade, and he is still a master who can shoot well.

The rest have two so-called double point guards, Kidd + Johnson, and a 193CM Charlemagne.

The configuration of this lineup is indeed a bit different from this era. High pressure, high defense, and high rotation are the tenets of Angie's defensive coaching this year.

The Suns have lost 102 points per game last year, the bottom five in the league, to 94.4 points per game this year, and their defense has improved a lot.So Stern and Silva probably didn't expect that they originally wanted to arrange a bad defensive team for the Clippers and Zheng Tie to easily score points, but this year-their defense is not bad at all.

Still a little strong.

Apart from anything else, Ainge came up midway last year and took over at the last minute. This season is the complete pre-season training camp for him. Therefore, this year's Suns are his own Suns.In order to make himself famous among NBA coaches, he did a lot of homework in the first game.

There is no slighting because the Clippers are a bad team with 20+ wins last year.

This scene was also determined by his obvious study of the Clippers' tactics.

This lineup, he believes, can also suppress the Clippers' high-speed counterattack style.

At the same time, there is an extra 211CM inside line on the opposite side, and the speed must be lowered.

This……

Angie thought too much, because in the future, it will be no problem for a small ball to lead a big man. Many teams do this, and Nash Jr. pushes quickly. As long as anyone can keep up, he can create the best shot for it. Chance.

The advantage of choosing this kind of point guard master is that you don't need to worry about the team's offensive system at all, and they can handle it by themselves.

When Zheng Tie moved to the 45-degree angle of the three-point line on the Suns side, he heard Angie's roar again——

Go defend Zheng's three-pointer!He can do nothing but three-pointers!

Ah? ? ?
What are you talking about?
If you say that, I'm going to have a good fight with you. How can I only know three points and nothing?
In this way, Zheng Tie went from the three-point line to the low post, and then waved for the ball.

Nash Jr. saw it and immediately gave the ball in.

Rex Chapman is 193cm tall, but only weighs 185 pounds, or 85 kilograms. At this weight, Nash Jr. thinks it is impossible for him to stop the low Zheng Tie.

After Zheng Tie got the ball in the low post, he stuck Chapman and made a sky hook shot.

Chapman was taken aback for a moment.

Zheng Tie's short-range low hook has reached 75 points. With the 3S sky hook, he can easily break through 80 points. This wave has increased the floating points by 6 points, and his hook has reached 81 with this ball. point.

Coupled with the fact that the opponent's low-post defense and physical confrontation are so weak, it is easy to score a goal, and at the same time it is activated accidentally-the sky hook has a 30% probability of triggering the subsequent 1~7 sky hook shots.

Damn it, do you think you are unlucky or not?

Originally, I wanted to show off my admiration for Dafa, but in the end, well, well, skyhooks are fine too.

It's the same as hitting you anyway.

Zheng Tie scratched his head, shaking his head helplessly.

PS: There is more~, add more~~~
