The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 207 You can't stop me.

But after the timeout, the Blazers made a serve error first, and Pritchard jumped out of anger.

The Mavericks attacked and Kidd advanced with the ball.

The current Mavericks have a lot of shooters. Nowitzki, Terry and others are all very good at shooting. The Mavericks made 46% of their two-pointers and 37% of their three-pointers. It's awesome.

Although the outside world does not think that shooting can win the championship, Carlisle has always been unmoved and persisted.

Xue Ding is defending Kidd. Kidd averaged 10.1 points, 7.8 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game this season. He is a veritable brain of the Mavericks.

Xue Ding's defense against Kidd mainly has two points, one is the 3-pointer, and the other is his passing.

Kidd's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 43%, and his passing is much better than Xue Dingyao.

Xue Ding was very impressed with Kidd in his previous life. He remembered Game 2011 of the Western Conference Finals in May 5.

The Mavericks played the Thunder, with 1 minute left in overtime, the Mavericks and the Thunder tied at 105.

Kidd handed the ball to Dirk, went to the right wing to receive a pass back from Dirk, raised his hand and made a shot fake.

The thunderbolt genius Westbrook of the Thunder is sensitive to what he is going to do.

Westbrook stepped up, flew up, reached out to block the block, and then he found that he had flown by.

Kidd is not that fast, not that tall, but he knows he doesn't have to. He sucks the ground with his feet and makes a fake shot.

He lowered his head to pass Westbrook's flying body, then raised his hand, and made a steady three-pointer, which accurately penetrated the hearts of Oklahoma City fans.

108 to 105, the Mavericks took the lead.

In the remaining time, he grabbed two backcourt rebounds, made two free throws steadily, and settled the game.

That game gave the Mavericks a 3-1 lead in the playoffs and crushed the Thunder's two home games.

Thunder Westbrook showed his immaturity in front of old Kidd.

Kidd is not a shooting master. In the first three years of his career, his free throw percentage was less than 70%, and his NBA career shooting percentage was only 40%.From a technical analysis, his arm length is not good enough, his shots are not fast enough, and he does not have the bullet speed of the generation of Rose, Westbrook, and Brooks.

But the strange thing is that since the 2004-05 season, his three-point rate has always been amazing.

In the 2009-10 season, he made 43 three-pointers, the third most in the league, with a career-high 176% shooting rate.

Since 2008, 2/3 of Kidd's shots in the Mavericks have been three-pointers. He no longer has the speed and explosiveness needed to break through, shake, get rid of, and quickly cut to create three-pointers for himself. , he is almost 38 years old.

And throughout his life, he gave little thought to creating scoring opportunities for himself.

Xue Ding still remembers the two rounds of the series against the Blazers and the Thunder in the Mavericks' previous life. He knew that the opponent would let him go, so he saw the needle. Against the Thunder, he knew that Westbrook was young and impatient, so he threw a four-two punch. Kidd doesn't even need to "create" a shooting gap, but "find" a shooting gap.

Back on the field.

Kidd handed the ball to Butler seasonedly. Butler was 2 meters tall, and Batum faced him.

Butler used to be a scoring wing, able to catch and shoot; he couldn't play the main offensive role, and couldn't break through at all. He couldn't be a core Butler, but he could make fake moves. He started to back up with the ball and Batum.

Seeing Butler being blocked from the free throw line by Batum, Xue Ding felt very stable.

Butler's offense is mediocre, while Batum's defense is good. Batum has a high IQ. As long as he is healthy, although he can't defend against small forwards like Durant James, he can't defend against ordinary small forwards. Disaster.

The reason why he was not outstanding in his previous life was that there were too many outstanding small forwards, such as James, Durant, Leonard, and Paul George.

How do you tell him to defend?
Xue Ding looked back at Kidd, who was frowning.

Xue Ding chatted with Kidd: "Jason, how will you attack later?"

Kidd was overjoyed when he heard Xue Ding's words.

"Xue, we will give the ball to Dirk later."

As soon as Kidd finished speaking, Xue Ding saw that Butler had indeed given the ball to Nowitzki at the free throw line.

"Oh? We have Tyson, we won't let Dirk score easily again."

"Really? I think Dirk is stronger, but Tyson can't stop him."

Kidd couldn't get rid of Xue Ding's defense, and the two kept forcing each other to talk.

Suddenly, Kidd stopped.

what happened?

Xue Ding glanced sideways at Nowitzki, the driver had already used Golden Rooster independence at the free throw line!
The boxing champion tried his best to block it, but it didn't help!
"Shh!"

14:4.

"I'll just say that Dirk is better, rookie." Nowitzki really can't defend alone.

Xue Ding shrugged and said, "You can't guard me either."

Before Kidd could reply, Xue Ding sprinted directly after receiving the ball.

The Blazers received the ball and pushed directly to counterattack!

"oooooo"

Xue Ding rushed to the frontcourt and rushed directly to the basket, and scored two points with a flying layup.

The speed of the Mavericks is still too slow, and they are not used to this rhythm of offense!
Because of a minor injury, Xue Ding didn't buckle blindly.

14:6.

Kidd is depressed, Xue Ding is right, he can't stop it.

This goal made Xue Ding ready to start his solo mode!
When Xue Ding is on the court, when he wants to take the ball to attack, he is basically very egotistical.

After the Mavericks passed, Kidd gave the ball to Nowitzki, and the driver's golden rooster finally failed to score.

Xue Ding next made a breakthrough and gave Batum the outside line. Batum shot a three-pointer from an open space outside the three-point line!

14:9.

Then Kidd used the off-ball cover of consecutive teammates to bypass Xue Ding's defense at the top of the arc and ran out of neutral! ! !
"Shh!"

The three-pointer returned the color.

17 is better than 9!

However, Xue Ding immediately broke through the basket and scored and caused Nowitzki's defensive foul. He played a 2+1. Xue Ding scored 5 points and 1 assist in a row, helping the Blazers to bite the score.

Xue Ding mainly focuses on offense and assists in passing!
Basically, if you get the ball, you need to break through, and Kidd is shot by him.

After a few rounds, the Mavericks' defensive focus shifted to Xue Ding.

This is a natural thing. It's not that the Mavericks are not wary of Roy, but there are rumors in the NBA that Xue Ding has a lot of ball dominance attributes, and sometimes he doesn't even pay attention to Roy.

The players of the Mavericks also believed that Xue Ding, a rookie, wanted to seize the opportunity to play a good statistical performance.

Generally speaking, rookies are like this.

Especially rookies with good statistics will feel that they are amazing and can't wait to get up.

Xue Ding wanted to perform so much today, but he actually felt that Yaya came to watch the ball again today, and wanted to increase his personal performance. The game was a little quiet before, and he needed a small explosion.

In order to gain the worship of his wife, Xue Ding will be very motivated.

The Trail Blazers players were also a little surprised by Xue Ding's desire to perform today, but in fact it was nothing. His teammates saw that his hands were smooth, so they didn't have any complaints. Roy also took the initiative to play for him.

Since his teammates were willing to cooperate, Xue Ding began to be rude.

首节打完，薛鼎9投6中拿下14分，第二节10中5拿到14分，半场狂砍28分！
In the first quarter, the Trail Blazers tied the score at the last moment.

After the second quarter, the Trail Blazers had a 57-44 lead by 13 points.

Xue Ding is in good shape, and the Mavericks don't seem to be able to beat the current Blazers.

Kidd looked at Xue Ding speechlessly.

I can't help it at all.
