The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 250 The Inexplicable Provocation

The Knicks do not have an overall core. The reason why they play smoothly is that everyone's enthusiasm is fully utilized, and the tactical thinking is very unified, that is, to fully display their respective offenses and drive the overall defense through offense.

The biggest feature of this tactic is that once it goes smoothly, it enters its own rhythm and is unstoppable. It is a bit similar to the old Nelson's run-and-bomb tactic.

Xue Ding has experienced more than two months of training in the NBA. If he used to rely on his instinctive basketball literacy to feel the rhythm of the opponent's offense and defense, now he stands in the team's brain and reads the game quickly. Lead the team well, play your own style, and restrain the opponent.

With a clear guiding ideology, the Blazers' defensive enthusiasm is not only much more active, but also much more targeted.

That is man-to-man defense. Everyone defends their own people first, rotates in time, strengthens the defensive pressure on the ball holders, and at the same time controls the passing line to increase the pressure on everyone in the Knicks.

比分43:40，时间还有3分44秒，开拓者领先3分。

Chris Duhon dribbled the ball for halftime, and Cockscomb Man immediately pressed up. Xue Ding followed David Lee and was also brought into the inside range.

Gallinari mentioned the high position and brought Ade out. Jeffries and Chandler were entangled in the basket. Wilson Chandler's running position was closely chased and defended by Batum.

The Knicks need a starting point to attack, but everyone is being defended to death. In this case, David Lee reached out and asked for it. After receiving the ball, he wanted to use his height advantage to back-hit Xue Ding.

Xue Ding had already prepared for this point, and he was assured that David Lee would catch the ball smoothly and defend with a one-step distance.

After David Lee received the ball, Xue Ding didn't cling to it, and turned to face the frame directly, making tentative steps towards Xue Ding.

Xue Ding remained unmoved, maintaining his focus and rhythm. Regarding David Lee's possible offensive moves, he had already thought of no less than ten sets of countermeasures in his mind.

Feeling Xue Ding's defense, David Lee quickly raised the ball with both hands, intending to shoot. Xue Ding quickly moved laterally to the right, further cutting off David Lee's intention to break through from the strong side.

Feeling that his thoughts were seen through, the time was only 7 seconds, and there was no time for other attacks. In desperation, David Lee took a step back after dribbling, taking advantage of his height, and directly made a mid-range shot.

But he obviously underestimated Xue Ding's jumping ability. Just as he straightened his legs and waist to make a shot, a black shadow in front of him rushed towards him as if covering the sky and covering the sun.

With a "snap", the basketball that had just come off the fingers was hit hard.

Before David Li could react, a gust of wind passed by. When Xue Ding landed on the ground, he grabbed the ball that landed in front of him, pushed the ball and started to accelerate. Under the watchful eyes of the audience, he rushed to the In the front court, there was another big windmill slam dunk solo show.

With a score of 45:40, the Blazers continued to expand the score, suppressing the Knicks from both ends of the offense and defense.

As soon as there was a problem with the offense, the Knicks, whose defense was not the focus, lost their rhythm in an instant, and the timing of their shots was much more hasty, which led to a situation where they lost points.

After the first half, the Blazers led by 56 points at 44:12.

During the intermission, Xue Ding took the time to call Yaya. In the past, he never needed to be distracted during the game, but now he can't help it. Once he relaxes, he will have a concern in his heart.

Yaya told Xue Ding that everything was fine and that his parents were taking care of him, so don't worry too much and play with peace of mind.

A phone call can't solve anything, but through the phone, listening to Yaya's voice, Xue Ding feels that his heart is much quieter.

The second half began, the Knicks made a small adjustment, the main vacant Chris Duhon was replaced by Little Potato Robinson, Xue Ding was surprised by this substitution.

Although Chris Duhon didn't play very well, his performance was quite satisfactory. The key is that he is physically strong and can cause Xue Ding a little trouble. Now he is replaced by a pocket player with a height of only 175. There is a complete gap in strength and height. It's too big, how can you fight against it.

As soon as the game started, Xue Ding understood that Robinson came up not to defend, but to break the offensive situation.

Small, super fast, amazing bounce, and strong explosive power, it's like a group of giant elephants coming to a nimble monkey, breaking through, dunking, scoring, and giving you a three-pointer from time to time.

In just 3 minutes of playing, the attacking rhythm that had just been suppressed by Xue Ding was stimulated.

一波10:5的进攻，让双方再次来到同一起跑线，比分50:50，时间还有7分12秒。

Pritchard called a timeout and only made a very simple tactical adjustment, letting Xue Ding defend Tudou, and it was too difficult for Batum to chase.

Originally as a forward, Batum's physical fitness and speed were very good, but when encountering Robinson's short stature, fast speed, and low center of gravity, Batum had no way to contain him.

Pause back, and the game continues.

The Knicks attacked, and Xue Ding faced Robinson directly. Face to face, Xue Ding felt that he was too small, just like facing a stronger junior high school student.

Facing Xue Ding's attack, Robinson kept his center of gravity very low, with a contemptuous expression on his face. Xue Ding didn't know why, but the other party's disdainful expression was very obvious.

Wilson Chandler stepped forward to pick and roll, Robinson accelerated, and rushed to the inside in a flash, Xue Ding had a feeling, and suddenly remembered the cartoon he saw when he was young, the one in cat and mouse It's like an old loser who runs very quickly.

This is the feeling of Robinson's breakthrough. He is small and fast. If he doesn't pay attention, he will disappear.

As soon as he broke through to the inside, Alder moved sideways to make up for the position. Before he was in place, Robinson dribbled the ball deftly and dodged it. He directly faced Jeffries and Chandler's dunking hands at the basket.

After landing, Robinson slapped his chest excitedly, chattering trash, and came to Xue Ding, full of provocations.

The home fans are simply on fire, and the enthusiasm is no less than that of any team's fans.

Xue Ding ignored Robinson's provocation, mainly because he was not familiar with him at all. As for his popularity in the league, Xue Ding believed that he was now much more famous than Little Tudou.

It doesn't matter who comes to provoke, everyone is worth spraying. The simplest idea is very simple, just blow it up.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball halfway through, and Xiaotuo used his body to directly block Xue Ding's lower body, preventing him from taking the first step easily. The method was correct, but the difference in height and weight between the two was too large. With a flick of Ding's left hand, Little Tudou was isolated.
