Pick Westbrook

Chapter 51 You Are the No. [-] Small Frontier in the East

"It's all wrong, Artest is not the murderer!" Li Lai said seriously.

At least the instigator of the Palace of Auburn Hills incident that year was definitely not Artest.

——It can be Big Ben, it can be that fan, but it cannot be Ron Artest.

"Of course Indiana fans can hate Ron, they can even call him names.

But I will tell you with practical actions, that is, what kind of strength the player you are scolding in front of you has. "

At this time, the fans at the Bankers Life Arena have not stopped cursing Artest, and there is even a growing trend.

The big screen at the scene suddenly turned and appeared in the audience in the front row, and Reggie Miller appeared vividly.

"It's Reggie!"

"Our Mister Key!"

"Reggie, we love you!"

After seeing Reggie Miller, all the fans at the scene finally changed from cursing to hysterical praise.

This one is a legend of the Pacers and a hero of the entire Indiana city.

And Reggie Miller has already stood up from his seat, his original intention is to attract the attention of the fans and stop the endless abuse.

Artest looked at his big brother, his eyes moistened.

Because of the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills that year, the two have not seen each other or contacted each other for many years.

It seemed that something was blocking the two of them.

Reggie Miller nodded at Artest and smiled.

"It seems that Reggie still hasn't forgotten his little brother."

Looking at the picture on the court, Li Lai said with a smile.

In this way, he is more confident in winning the opponent.

Tai Lunlu on the side didn't understand what Li Zi said to himself.

If Hammond's fat guy is here, he can guess with his smart IQ.

Bucks want to invite Reggie Miller to join!
The referee blows the whistle and the game begins.

Black Yao Ming Roy Hibbert won the first wave of possession.

And Yi Jianlian's jump ball was almost completely suppressed.

That guy Hibbert is just too tall.

With a height of 218cm and a wingspan of 224cm, he almost won the ball right away with a lift of his hand.

"This game is also a test of the Bucks' interior defense.

With the height of Roy Hibbert, I am afraid it will cause a huge damage to their inside line. "

TJ Ford dribbles across half court.

Hibbert was arrogant inside, and even used brute force to push Yi Jianlian back again and again.

Zhang Weiping looked very worried off the field.

"Hibert's weight of 125kg almost completely suppressed the UAE. It may not be realistic to rely on him to defend against the opponent alone."

And this is not the first time the Bucks have encountered a team with a big center.

When the team faced such a lineup, Li Lai and Tyronn Lue had already had too many discussions.

Tyronn Lue advocates playing a 2-3 zone defense, shrinking the inside line to fully limit the opponent's big inside line.

This style of play can of course force the opponent to pass the ball.

Unless he is O'Neal, who can be defended by four people.

If that's the case, the Bucks don't even think about defending the inside line, so hurry up and attack.

But obviously, Hibbert is not O'Neal, and even his low-post singles level has not even reached the passing line of the center.

This black Yao Ming is a serious defensive insider who knows nothing about offense.

Li Lai agreed to this defensive proposal, and at the same time specially designed unlimited defenses on the outside.

Double-teaming Hibbert will inevitably leave the Pacers with a large area of ​​player vacancies. At this time, it is necessary to require the players on the Bucks to fill them up as soon as possible.

So Li Lai arranged for Westbrook and George Hill, who had the fastest defensive speed, to help defend at a 45° angle on both sides, while Artest helped defend near the free throw line.

In this way, no matter which direction the three of them are double-teaming, they can return to the defensive position as soon as possible.

"This is a defensive tactic that the future Big Three of the Heat will often use when solving Bosh's interior defense problem."

Of course, Yi Jianlian's body is better than Bosh's, so his inside defense is slightly better than the opponent.

Li Lai just hoped that this tactic could slightly limit the weak defense of the Bucks inside. As for completely choking him to death, he hadn't thought about it that way.

After all, as long as the Pacers can be slightly restricted, with the current offensive strength of the Bucks, it is completely enough to beat the opponent all over the place.

But the reality is that Li Lai seems to have underestimated the defensive enthusiasm of the players.

"2-3 joint defense! Outside defense!"

As Artest yelled, all the Bucks players on the court acted immediately.

Westbrook defended the lower side, and Artest rushed directly from the middle to double-team the inside line.

And George Hill came near the free throw line, and while watching his defender, he also restricted Artest's defender.

Look carefully at George Hill's position. That position is the easiest point to intercept the passing route.

"Good defense!"

Big Mouth Barkley exclaimed.

If he didn't already know that the Bucks are a strong offensive team in the league, he would even judge from the defense just now that the opponent is a very iron-blooded defensive team.

Kenny Smith sighed: "The discipline of the players on the Bucks is really good.

Outside of Popovich's Spurs, I've never seen a team execute this well. "

on the field.

Artest pressed wildly and broke the ball from Hibbert.

The latter even fell to the ground with a huge body of 125kg during the fight.

Artest held the ball and made a fast break, sprinting against Westbrook and George Hill on two lines.

George Hill came to ambush outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and Westbrook received a wonderful pass in the middle.

At this time, everyone knows that the astonishing tortoise battle ax is coming!
TJ Ford, who returned to defense, couldn't even bring up any defensive emotions.

Because of this month's regular season, Westbrook's physical talent is well-known throughout the league.

Especially the dunk of Billups, which was frequently broadcast on sports programs during this period, made TJ Ford's eyes almost go numb.

boom? !

"No, Westbrook didn't choose to dunk himself!

It's a lob catch, who is he going to pass it to? "

TJ Ford looked back in shock, and Artest descended from the sky.

A rough, dull, aesthetically-less, and even boring dunk scene appeared.

Artest raised the ball with both hands and smashed the ball steadily to the basket.

boom!
The dunk is over.

"It's just a lot of strength."

"This dunk is just so sleepy."

The Indiana fans at the scene cursed and despised Artest for a while.

Barkley smiled awkwardly: "This dunk is indeed out of standard, but I haven't seen Ron dunk so happily for a long time."

on the field.

Successively unable to launch the team's offense from the inside, the Pacers could only give up the weakest point of the Bucks' inside line and turn to star Danny Granger to launch the offense with the ball.

Kenny Smith looked at it seriously: "Danny Granger has always claimed to be the No. [-] small forward in the East.

Now facing Ron Artest's defense, we can test whether he has the strength of the number one small forward in the East. "

Li Lai on the coach's bench didn't even bother to watch the ball.

The No. [-] small forward in the East?Danny Granger?
But take a break, who else deserves this title except LeBron James of the Cavaliers.
