I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 71 Practical Application of Off-the-Ball Movement Technique
During the intermission, the head coaches of both sides arranged the next offensive and defensive tactics.

Although the outcome of the game is not important, the drill tactics have to be drilled.

"Eric, don't let that No. 10 rookie slip away from under your nose. Although this is a preseason game and the defense is not strong, you can't let a rookie score so rampantly. He knows the difference between the NBA and the NCAA, get it?" Bucks head coach Terry Porter yelled.

"Understood, Coach! I'll let that kid know how cruel the NBA is." Eric responded loudly.

Terry Porter patted Eric with satisfaction, and then began to arrange offensive and defensive tactics.

On the other side, the Mavericks bench was full of joy. Coach Nelson was very satisfied with the performance of the two new aids. He smiled and said: "Li, you performed very well. Continue to play in the next game. If you have the opportunity, you will be determined." Shooting, I'm not a bigot, I'm very open-minded."

"Thank you coach, I will never let down your trust." Li Xuan replied sincerely.

After that, Nelson arranged the offensive and defensive tactics, let the players rest for a while, and prepared to play.

At the beginning of the second quarter, players from both sides returned to the court to continue the game.

Mavs backup point guard Tony Delk replaced Nash at point guard.

Near the left corner, Li Xuan was running quickly without the ball. This time, he found that it was not so easy to get rid of Eric's defense. He noticed that Eric had improved his defensive strength, and suddenly felt a little interesting, and wanted to try his magic. Can the super running position get rid of the NBA's elite defense.

Just when Li Xuan wanted to use some method to get rid of the defense, Eric, who was like a follower behind him, suddenly spat out trash talk.

"Rookie, don't you feel very powerless, no matter how much you run, you can't get rid of the defense. This is the defense that can gain a foothold in the NBA, not your college league where there is no physical confrontation.

If you hadn't made me get scolded by the coach, I wouldn't have targeted you like this, boy, I kindly remind you, be prepared for not being able to catch and shoot, and I won't let you score again. "

"This is your ability to be proud. Then I want to try it. After getting rid of you, I can easily score in front of your face and smash your ridiculous self-esteem." Li Xuan responded in a confrontational manner.

"Rookie, you are quite arrogant. I really want to see you get rid of my defense, but it is impossible to happen. Be prepared to be locked up by me!" Eric continued to spout trash talk to affect Li Xuan's mentality .

Li Xuan didn't talk too quickly with Eric, and used practical actions to prove that Eric's defense was vulnerable.

Seeing Li Xuan suddenly start running towards the basket, Eric sneered in his heart. The same move was useless to him, so he turned around and quickly followed, and used small movements to pull Li Xuan's jersey to slow down his running speed. .

Being pulled suddenly did slow down Li Xuan's speed. These small movements were in his expectation. After stabilizing his figure, he quickly shuttled between several big and tall guys on the inside line, and then suddenly burst out to the right at the fastest speed. Run to the side bottom corner.

Eric, who was chasing after him, was dazed and lost Li Xuan's figure in the blink of an eye. Knowing that he had failed in the defense this time, he felt that this rookie had some strength and should not be underestimated, otherwise he would suffer a big loss.

After Li Xuan came to the bottom corner, he made a move to catch the ball, but Delk didn't pass the ball over immediately, and his organizational ability really couldn't compare with Nash.

After a while, the ball was still passed, and after Li Xuan received the basketball, he jumped up and shot.

Kukchi, who came from the supplementary defense, rushed forward and straightened his arm to interfere with the shot. He was surprised to realize that the rookie in front of him shot from a very high point and shot very fast, and his interference might have been useless.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

There were deafening cheers and shouts from the fans in the stands. Although the three-point shot was not popular in this period, the fans were still excited to be able to make long-range shots.

Offensive and defensive transitions, the Bucks attacked, this round they played a simple pick-and-roll coordination.

With the help of a screen, TJ-Ford broke through to two or three steps inside the three-point line and made an emergency stop jumper, which was interfered by Jamison who switched defenses.

The basketball bounced out of the hoop, Li Xuan grabbed the rebound, passed it to Delk to dribble forward, and then quickly ran forward.

Delk advances very fast, crossing the center line in a short while, making an emergency stop and changing direction, passing the Bucks defender who stepped forward to block him, and rushing into the three-point line.

Seeing this, the players of the Bucks returning to defense quickly shrank to the basket to help defend and attack.

Delk seemed to be on the top, and he forced a layup directly under the interference of two defensive players of the Bucks.

Although the one-stop breakthrough in front was very exciting, the final result was not perfect. Delk's layup was slapped and slapped by Kukci.

Li Xuan, who followed up, took off and grabbed the basketball that flew near the free throw line. Before all the players could react, he quickly took off for the second time and hit a mid-range jumper.

"Delk's offensive choice was very unwise. Fortunately, Lee made up for his mistakes and successfully completed this wonderful fast break." The Mavericks commentator on the scene explained passionately.

In the next round, the Bucks unexpectedly played a teamwork. After passing the ball many times, power forward Cooke made a pass and assisted Pultz to dunk with both hands.

The Mavericks quickly served the baseline ball and launched a fast break.

The Bucks retreated very quickly and did not let the Mavericks' strategy succeed.

Delk slowed down and dribbled the ball to the top of the arc to organize an attack.

He knows that his offensive ability is not enough to break through the Bucks' defense, and he can just get an assist honestly.

Li Xuan came to the bottom corner again, and Eric, who was facing him, followed closely behind.

"Boy, I admit that I was a little careless before, this time I won't let you slip away easily from my nose." Eric said harshly.

"Then follow me and talk!"

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he ran forward suddenly, bumped Eric roughly with his chest, and then accelerated to cut towards the basket.

Eric was staggered and took a few steps back, and found that the rookie's body was so fucking hard, he almost couldn't breathe, turned around and saw Li Xuan had already run away, knowing that he had suffered a dark loss in vain .

Seeing Li Xuan rushing into the penalty area, Delk, who was organized at the top of the arc, quickly threw the ball to the basket.

Maybe he was a little impatient. Delk passed the ball with a bit too much force, and the parabola of the basketball is very high. There is a high probability that it will be a mistake.

The moment the ball was passed, Delk was annoyed and already thought of a way to apologize.

But unexpectedly, Li Xuan, who rose into the air, retrieved the ball with his long arms, and smashed the ball into the basket with the strength of his waist and abdomen.

Such a explosive dunk naturally amazed the fans in the auditorium. Although it was a preseason game, they felt that this trip was worthwhile, and they immediately cheered and shouted like a tsunami to cheer for the home team!

Some savvy fans have already made plans in their hearts. After the game is over, they must buy all the tickets for the Mavericks' home game this season, otherwise they will not have the opportunity to buy them again.

The game continued, and in the next few rounds, Eric found that Li Xuan regarded himself as an upgrade package for experimenting with various off-ball running skills. Is it?!"
