NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 71
But fortunately, Liu Rui observed it, and in his impression, he also has some understanding of these Wizards players.

The good news is that the Wizards don't have any strong centers on offense.

The Wizards head coach "Eddie Jordan" will most likely use Etan Thomas as the starting center.

In the preseason, he was also used as the starting center.

And he is the same type as Haywood sitting on the bench. The two are more suitable for low-post defense, but they are really rough on the offensive end.

And Thomas, in his previous life, scored in double figures for the first time in his career in the game against the Trail Blazers this season! !

The 00th pick of the center in the first round of 12 was selected by the Mavericks. It took four full years to score in double figures for the first time in his career, which shows the level of his personal offensive ability.

And in this era, Thomas, as a center, is only [-] meters tall.

Not as much strength and speed as Big Ben.

It can be said that he can only score leaks at the basket, and his playing depends entirely on hard work.

The other center Haywood on the bench is also nothing to fear.

Because someone can remember his name in later generations, it was exactly in the 10-11 season that he followed the Mavericks in the Finals to attack the Big Three Heat and won the championship that season.

Otherwise, there might not be many people who know his name.

And Haywood is also that kind of tall and strong tank-type center.

It's just that O'Neal can't stand it, and it can't prevent mobility.

It's tasteless to eat, and it's a pity to throw it away. It can only guard against normal center players.

But the bad news is that the Bobcats, which already have a shortage of insiders, definitely need more insiders from Okafor to open up the situation.

And Haywood and Thomas are both players who happen to be good at low-post defense, so it can be said that they are in the right place.

Although there is not enough evidence on the offensive end, on the defensive end, the restrictions on Okafor must also be an important part of this game.

Of course, the Wizards also has the first high school student champion in NBA history.

One is a player who doesn't even know how to evaluate Liu Rui, who has been a man for two lifetimes.

You say he has no talent, but he was obviously in his teens before he started playing basketball.

That is, in this case, Eddie Curry and boxing champion Chandler, who were still known as the little sharks, were still alone in high school.

He averaged 20.1 points, 13.3 rebounds and 5.8 blocks per game.

But you say he is talented, even if his early performance is not good, it has something to do with Jordan's criticism of him and the excessive pressure on him from the outside world.

But one thing you can't deny is that as a center forward, when cutting to the inside, he always can't catch the ball.

Regardless of whether it's because his hands are too small or because of buttery hands, the final result is actually the same, that is, out of bounds...

Moreover, the stability of Kwame Brown's shots is particularly poor. Some balls that seem to be easy to shoot are often "unbelievable" by him.

As a No. [-] pick in the center, he can repeatedly perform various low-level mistakes in the game such as open dunks, turning around and wiping the basket, and dribbling out of bounds in back-to-back singles.

No matter who is the teammate and coach, I am afraid it will be difficult to trust him too much.

This may also be due to the fact that he participated in the NBA draft in high school, which resulted in his lack of experience in the four years of college.

After entering the NBA, in the end he had to be called the No. [-] pick in parallel imports.

Even later, there was a champion named Bennett who was more watery than him.

But no matter when, as long as the word "parallel import champion" is mentioned.

I believe that the first thing most people think of is Kwame Brown.

In the preseason of the new season, the head coach of the Wizards, Eddie Jordan, has always used Kwame Brown as the starting fourth position, with a twin tower lineup on the inside.

The twin towers are also a trend in the current league, in this era when projection ability is not so popular.

The inside twin towers paired with an outside bandit is simply a standard configuration.

Although Kwame Brown is not enough evidence, the key to the Bobcats is that no one can reach the fourth position now! !
Anyway, he is also [-] meters tall in the paint.

At present, besides Okafor and Jamal Sampson, the tallest insider of the Bobcats is Kapono's [-] meters.

But if you want Kapono to defend the inside, what is the difference between giving points to others...

So Liu Rui fell into a very embarrassing situation, whether to use the twin towers or not? ?
If you really want to let Okafor and Jamal Sampson start at the same time.

The two of them can't play for a few minutes at most at the same time, and no matter how they play, there will definitely be a time gap between the two of them throughout the game.

And if the team had already traded Ariza at this time, then he wouldn't have such a headache.

Although Ariza is still young at the moment, with his wingspan, it is really no problem for him to play the fourth position.

At this moment, during the rotation time, Bernard Robinson can only continue to play the fourth position.

Although Robinson is only 1.9 meters tall.However, the overall body size standard is very powerful.

Leaving nothing to say, at least it won't fall too much in terms of strength.

Otherwise, it would be useless for others, and now on the backcourt, Blevin Knight can only be mentioned as the starting point guard.

Otherwise, Wallace and Brezek are not on the court, and there must always be an offensive starting point on the court.

Although Knight is in his own system, he cannot get much reuse because of his lack of shooting ability.

But after all, the average assists per game is a few points, second only to the existence of Nash.

In this case, the team needs more players to run and move, and Knight's sense of presence will instantly increase.

And Tron Smith, who has been stored in the activation list, may only be able to activate it.

Although Thron Smith's shooting ability and defensive ability are not outstanding.

But no one who can gain a foothold in the NBA is an ordinary person.

At the very least, they all have one-and-a-half-way housekeeping skills.

And Tron Smith's housekeeping skill is "stealing".

This guy seems to have a soft spot for steals.

It still holds the steal record in the team history of West Congo University.

During college, he averaged 3.1 steals per game.

But the point is, he always gambles on steals in order to steal players who give up his defense.

No! !It can no longer be called a gambling steal, but either I steal the ball or you score.

Although this kind of defense feels good in terms of statistics, the overall defensive efficiency is very low.

No coach would like this kind of player, but this guy has been in the league for so many years.

Although it is no longer as mindless as before, this habit has been formed and it is difficult to get rid of it.

So after entering the NBA, this defensive attitude has not been reused by the coach no matter which team he is in.

In offense, his shooting ability is only below average, and the most offensive method is a fast break layup after a steal.

And a quick counterattack to catch a pass from a teammate.

In a sense, it is actually similar to Brewer, the commander of the running and bombing company of later generations.

But if he had half of Brewer's defensive focus, then Liu Rui wouldn't put him on the activation list.

But now also because inside defense is a problem, the team is bound to double-team and switch defenses in a wide range.

And it just so happens that Tron Smith just likes to scurry around on the field, so let him toss, anyway, there are only a few people left on the team who can use it...

Looking at the list, tactics, and layout that I drew in my own hands.

Liu Rui sighed deeply: "Hey, thanks to my hospitalization, this lineup, whoever comes here will be in vain..."

　Thank you, don't forget, brother for your reward! !
　　Thanks to the Yeweiyang brothers of Yueyinglou for the reward! !

　　Thanks for the support!
