Card Bishop of Basketball

Chapter 61

Glenn Rice, with a height of 2 meters, serves as a small forward with comprehensive abilities in offense and defense.

Three All-Stars in his career, one best second team, one best third team, and one three-point contest champion.

It is worth mentioning that Glenn Rice scored 20 points in the third quarter of this year's All-Star Game, broke the All-Star single-quarter scoring record, and won the All-Star Game MVP. point of:
Back then, the big dream Mourning Pippen Ewing failed to win the All-Star MVP, and even said that Jordan scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. The terrifying triple-double data failed to steal the All-Star Game from me. The MVP of…

This player has a low-key personality, but he has a terrifying scoring explosive power, and as a shooter, his shooting percentage is also very impressive, with a 40% three-point shooting percentage, he was considered a marksman in that era.

Seeing that this year is the year for him to gain more honors, how embarrassing would it be if he couldn't even lead a rebuilding team?In addition, other points of the team are basically locked up, especially Bogues, another firepower point on the outside of the team, was directly locked up by Iverson.

That's right, it's the little bug you all know, with a height of 160cm, which may be about the same height as your girlfriend, but with his excellent golf quotient and strong physical fitness, he has been in the NBA for 14 years.

The most classic scene in Bogues' career is undoubtedly the shot-blocking gorilla Ewing. The 160-foot-tall dwarf brutally blocked the 2-meter giant inside. Moreover, when Ewing completely raised his hand and was about to take action, Bogues rushed forward. Come up and cover your face with a big hat.

However, Boggs has encountered a tall point guard who is not weaker than him physically and even faster than him. This makes Xiao Chong proud. Based on the foundation of the NBA, he covers all aspects. The regular season may be just playing casually, so in this round of playoffs, he will firmly remember the name of the person on the opposite side-Allen Iverson, this guy is simply an enhanced version of Boggs in all aspects.

The Hornets' ability to enter the playoffs this season relies on the performance of their four strong points. The first contribution is that the bug Boggs broke through the ghostly face, passed the ball ghostly and coquettishly, and shot accurately.

But right now, Xiao Chong is completely locked up. Even the organization of the offensive end must be handed over to Divac on the inside. The first strong point of the Hornets is abolished.

The second strong point of the Hornets is Divac's setter. This means that the bug Boggs used the breakthrough to pose a threat and then gave the ball to Divac who was in the penalty area. Divac can play singles and can Passing the ball, sometimes an inside pass plays the defender, allowing Anthony Mason Jr. to make an easy shot.

But now, because Burgess is being guarded, Divac has to come out and show his strength and say, come on, I'm going to start organizing. You all guard me and just let my teammates go.

Divac's inside setter lies in the flexibility of the position. The edge of the penalty area can be singled into the inside line at any time, but firstly, the team needs to be organized, and secondly, this European junior is really tall, so it is a bit difficult to play alone, so he pulled to the free throw line Organize nearby, and the organization effect of this position is not very good.

The third strong point of the Hornets is the "New York villain", Anthony Mason Jr., why did the New York villain go to Charlotte?It can only be said that business is business. After all, this is a business league. Many players want one person, one city, but the team management said you should get out of here.

Anthony Mason Jr. is also a power forward who can attack and defend, and has quite comprehensive skills. He has high organizational skills and has helped the team win many games in the regular season. However, no matter how delicate your pass is, you still need someone to finish it. .

In the regular season, Mason likes to cooperate with Boggs. After receiving the ball in the high position, he passes it to Boggs who is down. After Boggs breaks into the inside to attract the defense, he gives the ball to Divac. Then he gave the ball to Mason, who came in for the second time, and the whole coordination was quite exquisite.

But now Boggs is locked up, and the only one who can cooperate with Mason is the team's starting shooting guard, the old shooter-Dell Curry, but Curry is old and decrepit, unable to quickly cut into the inside, only three-point line Waiting for an outside opportunity, a fixed-point shooter who shoots purely from outside the three-point line, the pressure on defense is much less.

Here Curry is out of breath, replaced by Ricky Pierce who is older than Curry. Pierce, who was born in 59, is now 37 years old... You expect him to go to the sky to play with his teammates, You might as well count on Chang'e on the moon.

Mason also has another strong point, which is that he has honed his tendons in the gym every day. He has the brute force like a mad bull, pushes away opponents, and easily grabs rebounds, but...you compare strength with Big Boss?Are you serious?

Right now, all his teammates are blocked, so Glenn Rice has the prerequisite for a singles performance. The background is that the team will fight to the death, and if they can't win, they will leave. What is missing now?There is a lack of a defender who is blown up.

Very good, Ma Jian came to the door by chance at this time.

(Polite Ma Jian: Are you)

Ma Jian's own lateral speed is not very strong, and the Richardson star card he is equipped with is not a player who is good at lateral single defense. Richardson plays more of a role of finishing the ball than a good player. defender.

During the regular season, Ma Jian was easily abused by various singles players in the small forward position, but these were all covered up by Ma Jian's excellent offensive performance and winning.

When his teammates were blocked, Glenn Rice began to conduct an in-depth analysis of Ma Jian's weak single-defense ability, and publicly executed him.

Les holds the ball, shakes it back and forth, strides forward, and then pretends to change direction. Ma Jian takes a small step back to adjust his body position to prevent breakthroughs. As a result, Les just opens his hand and pulls it out. Dare to have.

On the offensive end, Iverson faced the bug who was a head shorter than himself, and he pulled out his hand. healthy.

This time Rice took advantage of the fact that Ma Jian's lateral movement was slow, there was no extra shaking, and he directly stepped into the singles, because in the previous games, Rice always liked to dribble the ball for a long time to find the feel and rhythm, and Ma Jian's ball was a bit lacking. Keep up and be thrown away directly.

Without waiting for the inside line to defend the bus, Rice directly made a drift shot. When he rushed halfway with the ball and suddenly got up with the ball, his body would swing forward a little distance due to inertia. At this time, you feel like drifting, and you feel old Yes, the sound of the wind blowing past my ears.

Well, this kind of shooting requires relatively high strength in the waist and abdomen, and half of the jumpers who can make a serious emergency stop jump shot will not drift. This kind of ball is usually seen when the inside line is defended, flustered, and forced to make an emergency stop Didn't stop, just floated up...

This ball is difficult to score!Hollow into the net, Glenn Rice's hand felt hot, the Hornets home fans cheered loudly, and then began to make loud noises, trying to interfere with Philadelphia's offense and give psychological pressure.

Facing Ricky Pierce's defense, Richmond made the same pull-up jump shot with a picturesque and neat posture. However, the ball didn't close firmly. The shot was too hasty and the basketball spun twice in the basket. Circle, turned out again.

Faced with Ma Jian's defense, Rice slowly dribbled the ball at the top of the key, wavered a little to pretend to break through, and then directly made a move. Ma Jian had a psychological shadow on the previous two balls. This time he saw Rice shake his shoulders and went straight backwards. He took a big step, but unfortunately, he made a mistake in predicting this ball again.

Star cards give players physical conditions, including technical support, but in many cases, the game is still judged by the players' subjective consciousness. These defensive experiences and defensive predictions are not given by star cards, including Skills are just to help players improve their enthusiasm for defense and fighting...

Ma Jian hurriedly turned his head. In his astonished eyes, Rice confidently made a three-pointer, spun around the basket, and turned into the net!

The sideline photography captured this classic shot. Rice kept his shooting posture in place after a cool three-pointer. Ma Jian looked back in shock with a frightened face. The strong man under the basket was desperately fighting to get in position, but the basketball trajectory was very straight, pointing directly at the basket basket.

Just for this classic scene, even if the Hornets lose this game, this scene can still appear on the headlines of major newspapers. Rice feels hot, the old coach Thompson on the sidelines calls a timeout, and the team is beaten 7-0 , need to call a timeout to cool Rice's hands, but also to adjust tactics, and warn players not to be complacent because of the first two victories...
