The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 255 Full of Confidence
As the team's brain, once it falls into a situation of hesitation, the external manifestation will be that the team's offensive and defensive ends will be suppressed by the opponent.

Under the leadership of Iguodala, the 76ers played a 16:2 offensive climax, the score came to 52:68, and Pritchard quickly asked for a timeout.

"What's wrong with Overlord Xue, he is so hesitant to fight?"

"There are so many open opportunities and he didn't pass the ball. What is the bully Xue thinking?"

"Either fight, or pass, I don't even know this overlord Xue who can't fight or wear."

"Has another secret happened to the Blazers that we don't know?"

"Is Overlord Xue trying to force the palace?"

……

The fans on the webcast end were very confused about Xue Ding's performance, and they didn't know what happened, so they speculated one after another.

If the performance in the first half was due to tactical considerations, but the third quarter was almost over, not only did not see Xue Ding's adjustment, but fell into even greater chaos, the fans all speculated according to their own understanding with.

Xue Ding, who is the client, is also very depressed. He has already completed 20 of the 12 assist tasks. The opponent's targeted defensive goal is very clear.

That is to say, if you break through and the opponent tries to limit it, if the limit does not come, it doesn't matter if you score, just don't allow the whole team to be connected together. Although Xue Ding also understands that this is a regular tactic, if he follows the past, he must immediately Score wildly to break the opponent's defensive strategy.

But today I didn't want to score, so I was very anxious, and even wondered whether the system and the 76ers were in collusion, otherwise, why this defensive strategy seemed to be a task for me.

Pritchard growled loudly.

"Xue, you have to fight more resolutely, don't hesitate"

"Force them to focus on you and create chances for your teammates"

"Everyone needs to move"

……

Xue Ding understands the head coach's tactical arrangement very well, that is to drive the offense by himself, to play resolutely when scoring, and to pass decisively and timely when breaking through the ball. This tactic is also very targeted and aimed at The most important thing is the problem that he exposed on the field.

But these problems are not the problems I have always had, but because of the mission.

But this can't be said, although it is not what he wants, but it is such a result, Xue Ding still feels a little depressed.

And there are 2 minutes left in the third quarter. How to complete the task while cracking the 76ers' defense and ensure the team's victory has become a top priority.

The score was too far behind, and Pritchard had no choice but to let the main players continue to play, and the 76ers did not make any substitutions when they saw this.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball for halftime, and the 76ers continued the previous defensive strategy. Two people were kept on the inside, and the three outsiders were concentrated around Xue Ding. Green was the main defense in the front, William Moss on the left and Iguodala on the right. Form a state of encirclement at any time.

Xue Ding glanced at the inside situation, the four of them were entangled very tightly, Ade didn't bring it up, Batum had been waiting in the bottom corner for a long time, his heart moved, he changed to the right and accelerated one step, passing Green's defense , Iguodala quickly made up for it, Xue Ding stepped up and twisted past Iguodala.

Iguodala followed closely behind, and Brand was also ready to block the shot. Xue Ding took three steps and successfully attracted everyone's attention. With a flick of his right hand, the ball flew directly to the left corner .

Williams quickly turned back to the defense, but did not play any interference in the face of Batum, who was tall and long.

Batum received the ball and made an open three-pointer.

Xue Ding waved his arms excitedly, 13 of them were getting closer to the goal, and Batum happily ran over and clapped hands to celebrate.

The 76ers quickly served the ball, and Williams pushed the ball like a wind across the half court, and Batum stepped up. Williams kept dribbling the ball under his crotch and changing directions, mobilizing Batum's center of gravity.

As soon as Xue Ding saw William Moss falling into the individual dribbling mode, he knew that this guy was going to start the breakthrough mode. After playing most of the game, he knew William Moss' style of play very clearly.

The mid-range shot is accurate, the breakthrough is sharp, and the speed is fast, but the overall situation is too poor. Once he plays by himself, he only has the ball in his eyes.

Xue Ding directly surrounded him from the side, and William Moss was caught in the scramble. He didn't notice it at all, just a change of rhythm to get rid of Batum. Pass first, people speed up the game, but Xue Ding, who had been waiting for a long time, snatched it from the side in one step, stretched out his hand and broke the ball.

, Williams, who reacted, turned around and rushed over, and the Blazers also quickly followed.

Standing still at the 45° position on the left, Xue Ding waited for the inside line to settle. Otherwise, he would run back and forth. For the big center, the consumption is the biggest.

After both sides settled down, they glanced at the time and saw that there were 12 seconds left. It was the last attack of this quarter. Xue Ding started to dribble. Ade mentioned the high position on the left. Smith followed. The defense came to the 45° position on the right, and suddenly a change of direction to the left accelerated, rushing into the inside line.

Brand subconsciously stepped up to block, Xue Ding jumped up and passed through Brand's armpit with his right hand, and successfully passed the ball to Chandler who was open.

Chandler is familiar with catching the ball, taking off, and just a dunk, extremely excited.

For the 14th assist, there are only 6 left. Xue Ding rested with a relaxed mood.

With a score of 57:68, the Blazers ended the third quarter behind by 11 points.

In the fourth quarter, at the request of Xue Ding, Cockscomb Man was replaced by Fernandez. Cockscomb Man was a little injured, but he also knew that the next stage was the chasing stage, and his defense was more important than offense. Just no complaints.

Xue Ding's idea is very simple, he is mainly for assists, and he can also create opportunities for his teammates to open up, but his teammates must be able to make shots, otherwise he will not get points, and he will not be able to evolve the number of assists. Whether it's a personal task or not, it doesn't make any sense.

This is also the biggest worry of hesitation before, so now for the sake of offense and chasing points, he directly replaced Fernandez, who is more capable in shooting.

The current configuration of the Blazers on the field is equivalent to two forwards, one guard, and two insiders. Everyone has a strong scoring ability. With a point difference of 11 and 6 assists, Xue Ding feels confident and completely no problem.
