You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 674 God of the Restricted Area
The inside combination of Cousins ​​and Thaddeus Young has obvious advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is offense, one relies on the outside and the other relies on the inside.The shortcoming is defense. Cousins' single defense has improved a lot with the help of Hayes, but he is by no means a traditional basket-protecting giant.His protection at the rim can only be regarded as average in the league, and his defense against pick-and-rolls is poor.

In order to adapt to the fourth position, Yang gained a lot of weight, and his speed was much worse than when he played the third position before. He couldn't solve the problem that Cousins ​​couldn't defend the pick-and-roll, and his single defense was just like that.

After the Nets replaced Andre Brac and Paul Pierce, they concentrated their firepower on the 76ers' restricted area.

Blatche's performance is the most amazing, he is so big, he can attack the basket from the three-point line; every time he faces the basket, he has to dribble the ball behind his back or under the crotch, and he is not afraid of the ball hitting his heavy butt;

Let him play, the Nets are determined to fight the offense.

The 76ers' defense did not let them down.

The cooperation between Cousins ​​and Young made continuous mistakes, and the 76ers were beaten 6-0.

Seven minutes later, 7 to 14, the 8ers did not score many points, the defense was average, and the intensity of both offense and defense was not as high as in the preseason.

"Is it really like some people said that the 76ers played so well in the preseason just because the intensity of the game was low?"

Wei Xia faced Pierce on the offensive end.

"You can't win the championship on this team!" Pierce muttered, "No, you can't win the championship without Kobe!"

"You may be right."

Wei Xia seemed convinced by him.

The tone is very soft.

"At least I used to have it." Wei Xia's tone was still very soft, and he leaned against Pierce's body tightly, "If I remember correctly, I seem to be the most valuable player in that finals. By the way, do you know who our opponent is?"

Pierce, as well as the Celtics players, are the least qualified to point fingers at Weixia.

Because it is from them that Wei Xia has obtained one of the most important honors in his career.

Although more than five years have passed since that highlight moment, that Finals is still considered the greatest matchup since 1998.

"Don't be fucking smug!"

Pierce growled.

Wei Xia's teammate passed the ball, he grabbed the ball with one hand, retreated and swayed, and the truth jumped up when he saw the situation, but was swayed by his best fake action,

Wei Xia hit a time difference, waited for Pierce to land before taking off, and hit the board.

"I may be a little proud, but if some people who have never won the FMVP and never made the best team are so arrogant, I think it is acceptable to be the most valuable player in the finals, and God will forgive me." As an atheist, Wei Xia's words made Pierce furious.

The figure of Wei Xia leaving, and Pierce roared unwillingly: "Wait for me!"

10 is better than 14
Pierce will definitely call back, and Wei Xia can predict it.

I didn't expect him to be so impatient, he even asked Deron for the ball from the backcourt, and directly transported it to the frontcourt for a one-on-one match.

He's never been a bullet speed monster, can't jump straight like Ray Lun, or pull up when he wants to throw like Tracy McGrady.Therefore, his shooting depends entirely on his pace adjustment: the moment before he catches the ball, he will take a small jump, and then catch the ball and make a jump shot; he will rely on his steps to make up for himself.

He is used to catching and playing, and if he holds the ball, he prefers to use his body tonnage to get away from defenders.

But now, he wants to single out Wei Xia with the ball.

Pierce is good at catching and shooting, and has the willingness to take the initiative to transform in this direction, but the problem that follows is that he is now more and more inclined to a jump shooter, and he hides very secretly.He doesn't have a quick start to his shot, so he has to make up for it with careful footwork.Therefore, when facing a tough defense, he can no longer start anytime and anywhere like Wei Xia.

When Wei Xia played against him last season, he noticed a detail. All Pierce’s ball-handling attacks to the basket came from fast breaks or teammates’ assists;

The reality is that Pierce is still an excellent scorer, but he increasingly relies on screens, systems, position selection, and footsteps to build a frame for his shots.In the Nets' system, he will be more like a fixed-point shooter + scoring terminal without the ball. With the support of his teammates, he will no longer resist the pressure alone, and he will play more freely.

Fighting against Wei Xia for fighting spirit now undoubtedly violates what his current body can support.

He couldn't stand that intensity.

Last season's Defensive Player of the Year then shrouded Pierce with the most powerful energy.

His shot was interfered by Weixia and popped out of the basket.

No, it is inevitable.

If he is so defended that he can't even see the basket, and his breath is unstable when he shoots, and he can still make a shot, then Wei Xia may have to suspect that there is a god above nine feet.

That god must be poor Pierce, so let that goal go in.

But did not enter, so God does not exist.

Cousins ​​jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound again. He was a bit addicted to grabbing the defensive rebound and then using both hands to make a long pass.

Even though there is no chance for a fast break, I want to do this.

It was Wei Xia who stopped his movements with gestures, "Don't worry!"

"Give me the ball!" Cousins ​​tossed the ball to Holiday, then strode forward.

The man facing Cousins ​​wasn't Garnett.

2 minutes ago, Garnett went to rest.

The Wolf King, who averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds per game last season, seems to have aged 10 years in an offseason. Pierce can still be used as a single player and assassin, but the Wolf King cannot be revived.

Cousins ​​faced Brac.

As brilliant as Brac's offense is, so is his defense. It's hard to guess whether he will be wiped by the opponent, or whether he will give the opponent a big hat with a round arm.Although the fat on his body is easy to grow, it doesn't matter. The problem lies in the fat in his head.From this point of view, he is somewhat similar to Cousins ​​in his rookie season.But Cousins ​​didn't have this problem in the second season. It's purely a matter of ability to prevent it. Everyone can see his efforts.

Blatche never let people see him working hard on the defensive end.

Cousins ​​turned his back to the position, took the ball, and made a jumper with a step back and facing the basket.

It was so easy, he kept Blatche's center of gravity in place, and there seemed to be no interference when he shot.

"Shh!"

Cousins, who scored the first goal of the game, proudly showed off his muscles and roared inflatedly: "I am the god of the penalty area!"

"Is that outside the paint?" Hayward complained.

Wei Xia grabbed Hayward who wanted to go to the ball: "Don't care about these details."

The Nets tried to get the ball into Blatche's hands.

He also has the will to counter Cousins. Anyway, everyone knows that his offense is the same as his defense, and no one can defend him.

What the Nets didn't expect was that Wei Xia used gestures to guide Cousins ​​to limit Brac to a specific position to receive the ball.

As long as they pass the ball, pinch, break the ball, only in an instant.

Blatche had no chance to show Cousins ​​his ball-handling attack that made many forwards call him an expert, because last season's DPOY was like "The Grim Reaper", if you die in this scene, you can't have a breathing shot in the next scene.

Wesha cut his ball and Pierce wanted a tactical foul.

At that moment, Wei Xia's ball holder made a one-handed pass.

Pierce then looked in the direction of the pass—where's the ball?
"￥!￥!%"

Fuguo Center Arena boiled up.

"This is Wish?"

"A superstar who has nothing to watch except for dunking?"

"He just made a beautiful fake move!"

If Doug Collins was still coaching, he would definitely be able to recognize what Wesha had just done at a glance.Because he and Maravich are of the same era.

Jay Wright just stared at Wei Xia and frowned, besides being excited about his wonderful performance, he also asked the assistant coaches around him with strong confusion: "Has Wish's games always been this interesting?"

Assistant coach Aaron McGee shook his head and said: "Not at all. Wish is a very solid player. Apart from dunking, he doesn't know how to please the fans."

Don't know how to please fans?Wright's impression of Weixia is the same as that of McGee, a solid player.

Which superstars will be tagged with the word solid?Maybe only Duncan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar later in his career.

What about the enjoyment of the two games?

Now, unless you think Duncan's one-handed windmill on the spot is very interesting, or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is always in the same position and then throws a skyhook with his right hand.

But you still have to be real. You and I both know that Duncan’s most entertaining moment is with the bald president Crawford. As for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the greatest ornamental moment of this man is being beaten by Bruce Lee in "Game of Death". This makes all fans who hate him breathe a sigh of relief: comfortable!

All superstars with solid titles are synonymous with no viewing.

In one summer, Wei Xia's jump shot and back movement began to match Jordan and Kobe's. His passing imagination was like white chocolate.

And always-on defense.

Wright can say he's seen every significant metamorphosis in Wish's career.

He grew from an unknown Philadelphia star to a well-known NCAA star in the United States, and then gained incredible physical fitness in one summer. After entering the NBA, he was not able to witness it with his own eyes, but he knew it from McGee's evaluation-solid.It shows that his style is very fixed, but when he came to coach the 76ers, this guy made another 180-degree change in style.

Wright watched Weixia shake Pierce away with a fake chipping motion, and then hit the frontcourt to flat the basket with a one-handed tomahawk dunk.

Wright didn't know where to start his admiration, he could only shake his head in admiration.
