NBA peak

Chapter 68 Give Me the Pick and Roll
Valanciunas got the rebound, the ball was in the hands of Van Vleet, and it was quickly pushed to the frontcourt.

DeRozan received the ball and planned to break through Boltel head-on.

But Ge Feng took the initiative to defend, blocking DeRozan's breakthrough route.

DeRozan retreated and was about to make a mid-range shot.

DeRozan didn't take this game to heart at all, so he shot very casually.

Wright flew over suddenly at this time, and slapped the ball directly to the sidelines.

"FUCK! Boss has been slapped..."

"Hahaha... Wonderful zone defense..."

The players on the bench were shocked and laughed, and DeRozan, one of the dignified double guns, also had moments when he was slapped by the bench players.

"Oh, God. You bastards, you just took drugs!" Lowry laughed happily, which made DeRozan a little unhappy.

No one in the starting group ran back to defend, and after watching Wright block a shot, there was a wonderful fast break dunk.

Nas frowned, the starting team is so careless, something will happen...

4: 2.

The bench group led by Ge Feng has been leading the Raptors' starting group from the beginning to the present.

DeRozan, who was ridiculed by his good friends, was very upset. Looking at his expression, he was obviously serious.

In turn to fight again, DeRozan still insisted on himself and made a mid-range shot.

The ball falls hollow into the net frame.

As the player with the strongest shooting ability in the league, DeRozan can easily send the ball to the basket if he is a little more serious.

The bench defense is struggling, and DeRozan, who has a strong mid-range shooting ability, is not afraid of the so-called double-teaming at all.

DeRozan can always stop the shot and send the ball steadily to the basket before the defense of the bench group shrinks.

This style of play that relies on CIC is very stable and is DeRozan's signature offensive method.

The Raptors have relied on DeRozan's steady and steady style of play in recent seasons to squeeze into the ranks of strong playoff teams step by step.

The starting group opened the game to 6 points in a short time.

Ge Feng wiped off his sweat and actively thought about ways to win.

DeRozan's mid-range shot is too stable, and coupled with Lowry, who is also good at mid-range shooting, it is almost impossible to use zone defense to limit their shooting percentage with these half-baked players on the bench.

Ge Feng felt that the only possibility of winning was three points.

In the current NBA, the pace of the game is too fast, and the frequent use of mid-range shots can easily drag down the team's rhythm.

After all, CIC can only score two points at most, and fouls are only three points.

And if the three-point shooting rate is high, you can get three-pointers in one round, causing fouls and even having a double-purpose effect.

This is why the Raptors have been unable to win the championship for a long time. Both DeRozan and Lowry are extremely dependent on mid-range shots. Compared with the strong teams in the league, the Raptors score 0.5 points less in each round.

Ge Feng took the initiative to call a timeout, returned to the bench, and asked his teammates about their three-point ability.

Several benches said nothing.

Also, there are no players with outstanding three-point ability who can sit on the Raptors' bench.

Among the four, Wright has the best three-point ability, but Wright's shooting percentage is over [-]% after playing, and his shooting depends on open positions.

In this way, if you want to move back to the disadvantage, you can only rely on Ge Feng's three-pointer.

The bench players accepted Ge Feng's suggestion.

The bench players also knew in their hearts that without Ge Feng's formation before the game, it would be impossible for them to fight with the starting group until now.

Ge Feng's realism is above them.

After the timeout, the bench team changed their formation, but the starting team remained the same.

Seeing the changes made by the bench group, DeRozan and Lowry were quite relieved.

The arrival of Ge Feng seems to have brought something different to the Raptors players who are used to sitting on the bench.

Bolter was pulled down near the three-point line from the inside. The main purpose was to serve as a pick-and-roll for Ge Feng. In addition, his height and wingspan could easily affect the shooting stability of the Raptors.

Seeing the tactics created by the bench group, Nas was very satisfied.

The bench team doesn't want to be abused so badly by the starting team, such a lineup is indeed the most suitable.

Nas folded his arms with great interest and began to watch the game seriously.

The bench team put the winner of the game on Ge Feng's shoulders.

This Ge Feng seems to have something.

The bench team served a throw-in, and Boltel gave up the regular inside play, pulling down the outside and delaying Lowry.

Both Ge Feng and Wright are running outside the three-point line, and the two have only one goal, and that is the three-pointer.

Ge Feng received a sideline ball, and the starting team switched defenses. Now Ibaka is defending Ge Feng.

Ibaka is the best defensive superstar in the league. When Ge Feng faced Ibaka, he obviously felt unprecedented pressure in history.

This is the first time Ge Feng really felt the intensity of the NBA's top defense.

Tyrannosaurus King Ibaka stepped forward with both legs, guarding in front of Ge Feng tightly.

In front of Ge Feng was a moving city wall.

A breakthrough is impossible. No one can pass Ibaka with speed unless he is physically crushed.

The Raptors' starting lineup can naturally tell what kind of moth the bench group is going to play.

But we have the defensive gate Ibaka, who of you can easily shoot a three-pointer in front of him?
Lowry, who was blocked by Boltel, easily watched the matchup between Ge Feng and Ibaka.

Ge Feng was defended by Ibaka himself, and he wanted to shoot a three-pointer?What a dream!

At this moment, all Raptors players have such an idea in their hearts.

Ibaka's attitude is very serious. Whether it is a regular game or a training game, Ibaka has very strict requirements for defense.

Ge Feng made three threats, but Ibaka didn't move at all.

Ge Feng straightened up, stretched out his finger and pointed to the floor to the left of Ibaka.

Ge Feng is asking Boltel for a pick-and-roll.

Nas laughed, a new kid on the team dared to let the old seniors run pick-and-rolls for him, his heart is really big.

Will Boltel listen?

In fact it will.

Bolter moved, and he set up a pick-and-roll for Ge Feng seriously.

The quality of the pick-and-roll is high, and that's what Bortle does best.

After taking it apart, Ge Feng faced Lowry again.

Lowry had to defend this time, but before Lowry could make up the defense, Ge Feng completed the shot.

This is a one-step shot after the pick-and-roll!
This kind of shooting is a test of the shooter's self-confidence.

Will the ball go in?
Everyone locked their eyes on the basketball flying in the air.

"Shh-"

Ge Feng clenched his fists excitedly, jumping up and down to defend in the backcourt.

The players on the bench, except for Siakam, all ran over to high-five Ge Feng, and then firmly defended their positions.

Nas was once again amazed by Ge Feng's performance.

Bai Nuo was also stunned, but subconsciously, he was still unwilling to admit the fact that Ge Feng was better than Siakam.

It's like he doesn't want to admit that his vision is not as good as Ujiri's.

Unexpectedly, a Chinese kid who has entered the team and has not played a regular game can actually make the Raptors' bench twist into a rope.

Is this temporarily immature charm the inherent attribute of a player of LeBron James' level-the basketball emperor?
