Please call me Ding Shenxian in the NBA

Chapter 208 205. This kid will definitely be a devil in the future (Part [-])
Deron's talent is completely fine, he is actually a misplaced point guard.

But one of his problems is that he is prone to injury, and the other is that his key ball ability has not been developed.

Just like Nash, Kidd, Paul, and Rondo, the ceiling figures among these point guards at the same time have all had masterpieces in the playoffs and played series that proved themselves.

Looking at Deron again, although the Jazz has been a frequent visitor to the Western Conference playoffs in the past two years, the final result has been unsatisfactory.

Jerry Sloan had a lot of expectations for the combination of him and Boozer, and it turned out that one was a rebel and the other was a ball bully.

For the old handsome, such an ending is bleak enough.

Now Deron has shown the signs of a ball dominance, and it is only a matter of time before a full-scale outbreak.

The Mavericks and Jazz played a battle focused on defense.

In terms of defense, Carlisle can also learn from Sloan, so from the beginning, he was ready to fight hand-to-hand with the Jazz.

On the surface, Carlisle's choice is a bit silly, but in fact it is the smartest choice.

After all, it is only a regular season game now, and the final win or loss has no effect on the future.

If they can use this game to exercise the team's defensive ability and find out the team's weaknesses on the defensive end by the way, then even if they lose the game in the end, they will still make money.

Sloan didn't think about it so much. Seeing that the Mavericks had increased their defensive strength and confrontation, he immediately made gestures, implying that the Jazz generals also began to confront the Mavericks players.

Everyone on the Jazz can defend, and the old coach has trained them all to be tough guys who can turn on defensive mode if needed.

Including Deron, this group of people can defend well as long as they are willing to defend.

Just like Millsap used crazy hand-to-hand combat against Xiaoding, various strategies of going around and interfering with small movements.

The current Millsap is not dirty, but he can play what kind of basketball under any coach. Sloan has the gene of tough defense. Playing under him, he can't even be a softie, because people with weak personalities are directly kicked out by the team.

In addition, the development of the Jazz basically relies on the drafts of the past few years.

Rookie players can play good basketball for several years under famous coaches.

The main reason is that they are not so sharp, they do what the coach says, they don’t need to think so much, and they don’t have so many distractions in the locker room. As long as they are obedient, they can’t play badly even if they want to.

This is true of Millsap and Jefferson.

One of them dealt with Xiao Ding and the other dealt with Nowitzki. Although their heights were almost interesting, they were unambiguous in defense.

After the opening, Xiaoding had almost no chance to touch the ball.

Millsap didn't talk trash to Xiaoding the whole time, and was as quiet as a rock.

But this made Ding very happy.

Regardless of how Millsap played, at least this attitude is worthy of recognition.

Unlike Deron, no one paid attention to him, and he kept chattering.

Xiao Ding thinks that Delong's aunt is here or something is wrong, and he talks endlessly. The key point is that the trash talk he said to Kidd has no strength at all.

"You are old, I can blow you up with one hand."

"I don't even dare to defend you, because I'm afraid of breaking your old bones!"

"You deserve to be called an old demon? Why do I feel that you are not a demon at all, only water?"

……

To say that Kidd has a bad temper, he was not a good stubble when he was young.

Since he didn't answer anything, there are only two possibilities, either he respects the other party very much, and the other party's seniority is far older than him. For example, Michael Jordan spat him, and he dared not reply.

The second is that the other party's trash talk is not even enough to tickle him, so there is no need to go back.

Obviously, Deron belongs to the second category.

Regardless of whether he hates Kidd or Xiaoding, neither of them took Delong's words to heart.

Spraying and spraying, Delong himself felt bored, and then closed his mouth.

The original Delong belonged to the type who didn't talk too much, but the current Delong is really too floaty.

This made Sloan very dissatisfied. After all, the Utah Shuangsha who had played in his hands belonged to the type who didn't talk too much.

Compared with Stockton, Deron's talent is visible to the naked eye.

As a result, Stockton's career has been incredibly stable, while Deron has been improving, but the improvement is far from matching the level of talent.

This can be seen from the fact that he has never won the assist king.

Deron's style of play is both offensive and organized.

Compared with Paul, his offense is not strong enough, so far he has not averaged more than 20 points per game in a season.Not to mention assists, Paul won the scoring champion early on, and Pao Ge's level is also much ahead of other point guards in the same period.

Deron can be regarded as a player at the same level as Paul, but he often takes advantage of his physical advantage when talking directly with Paul.

As for whether Deron can eat, sleep, and beat Paul, it is actually a false proposition, because they can only be said to be at the same level in the first few years of their careers. As one bid farewell to New Orleans and went to Los Angeles, and the other bid farewell to Utah and went to New Jersey, the fate of the two completely changed.

In the last season of the Jazz, Deron did play well, but there were also ups and downs, such as this one.

He wanted to send Jefferson the ground pass.

He thought very well, he even calculated Nowitzki's steps, and the basketball could be accurately passed between Nowitzki's legs and sent to Jefferson's hands.

Yes, the top point guard's control of the basketball is so precise.

But he ignored Xiaoding's traverse speed.

Xiao Ding, who was fighting with Millsap, quickly moved to the center as soon as he noticed Jefferson's air cut.

He rushed from the left-wing three-point line to the center in just one step, and then stretched out his long arms to complete the interception!
Deron was stunned and said yes.

Because he has seen so many strong defensive players, but there are very few people who can accurately predict his passing thinking, not to mention that Ding is just a rookie who has just entered the league and played in the NBA for a month.

After stealing the ball, Ding did not organize a counterattack immediately, but pretended to speed up to force Millsap to keep him for a foul stop.

Looking at Millsap who committed a foul not long after the start, Xiao Ding said quietly, "I don't want to fight back. Why are you so anxious to commit a foul?"

Ah this...

Millsap's temper is considered good among the big men, but a good temper does not mean that he has no temper.

Millsap couldn't bear Xiao Ding's trash talk that directly pierced people's lungs.

Millsap's state immediately changed from a sigh of relief to a rising blood pressure. Looking at Xiaoding's youthful and sunny face, he thought to himself, this kid must be a devil in the future!
