Chapter 543 The First Choice of Perimeter Defense
Wal suddenly points to Okafor at the basket, who shoots from close range-misses!As a result, he fouled while grabbing a rebound...

Okafor was still competing with "Warcraft" Howard for the No. [-] pick back then, but now due to injuries and personal reasons, the year after year is not as good, and the statistics give people the feeling that "the debut is the peak".In a rebuilding team like the Wizards, at his age, of course, it is impossible for him to be in the team's long-term plan. To put it bluntly, it is "helping young people grow" and "passing on and leading". To put it bluntly, the team is rebuilding. In the stage, find a few veterans to make up the number.In fact, for the Wizards, it doesn't matter who the veteran is.

Okafor's strongest strength is defense, but his offensive ability has not been truly developed in recent years.Unlike Warcraft, even if its offensive skills are not fully developed, with its superhuman physical fitness, it can score a lot of points by dunking under the basket.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball and gave it to Valanciunas in the low post.Valanciunas played Nene with his back at the basket, but after a few pushes, he found that his body was too disadvantaged to hit the opponent, so he gave the ball to Ying Xiong on the outside.

Facing Webster, Ying Xiong took a crossover and broke through with his right hand. Crossover pulled the ball to his left hand, then took a step back, dodged the space, and shot a jumper—hit!Today, his technique of holding the ball frame is very mature, whether it is left or right, he can attack, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.

The Wizards' half-court offense was started by Wall holding the ball to score, or Bill holding the ball to attack. Of course, Nene and Okafor also had some low-post singles.

In the first quarter of the game, Wall was emptied by Jeremy Lin, but he didn't live up to it, and the open shot didn't count. Instead, the opponent seized the opportunity to fight back.But because the opponent rarely makes mistakes, there are not many opportunities for him to counterattack.

Jeremy Lin's physical fitness is not as good as Wall's, but he is much more mature and smarter than his opponent.In fact, his shooting is better than Wall, but he is not stable, but he does not shoot randomly!
When the Wizards faced the Raptors, the perimeter was restricted. Fortunately, the two veterans inside played very well. When facing the opposing team, Valanciunas and Amir Johnson, both offensive and rebounding occupied advantage, so the score has not been opened.

Of course Webster couldn't restrain Ying Xiong, so after a timeout, Wizards coach Randy Whitman replaced Webster with Ariza; the Raptors replaced DeRozan , put on Guy.

Ariza's defensive ability is naturally better than Webster's.As the team's No.1 perimeter defense, he is the most suitable candidate to defend Yingxiong.

——But the problem is, once Ariza goes to defend Yingxiong, then the 193cm Bill will have to defend the 203cm Gay.

Of course, Ying Xiong is also 203cm. No matter who he defends, Bill suffers from height.

In the following time, Ying Xiong did not make a strong attack, but let Gay be the main attack point.Bill is inferior to the opponent in terms of height, confrontation, experience, etc., and it is extremely difficult to defend.

Guy beat Bill and had to eat and drink.In terms of dislocation and eating ability alone, he is a better existence than DeRozan at the moment.

Bill was very upset by being beaten by Guy, and his mentality was a little out of balance. He quickly accumulated 2 fouls and went down.

The Wizards still fell into a passive position. The outside line could not match the opponent's offense, and the inside line could not kill the opponent. The point difference was slowly opened.

In the competition between the rotations of the two sides, the Raptors were even better. Soon the point difference was widened to double digits, and the balance of victory and defeat gradually tilted towards the Raptors.

Ying Xiong played this match very easily and didn't sweat much.Because the scene was clearly dominant, he didn't replace Gay until 2 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter.

Unexpectedly, Gay was off, and Bill suddenly started to explode.He made sudden shots and quickly scored 2 points in a 10-minute game, narrowing the original 15-point difference to only 5 points.

Coach Casey was dissatisfied with the team's defensive performance and immediately requested a timeout.

Back from the timeout, Ying Xiong replaced DeRozan and began to defend Bill.Ying Xiong is coach Casey's first choice on the perimeter on the defensive end. At this time, the opponent's perimeter players exploded, and it is reasonable to use the best defensive players to put out the fire.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball, broke through to the basket with the help of a pick-and-roll, and scored a layup directly.Wall's defense is actually the same thing. It looks quite bluffing. He didn't give full play to his physical advantages at all. He didn't know how to defend against a pick-and-roll.

Wall came over with a dribble and continued to pick and roll with the ball.

Bill kept running without the ball, but to his surprise, Ying Xiong, the opponent's number one star, began to defend himself like a shadow.

Bill, as a talent show, is proud and arrogant. He is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers. When he sees the top 3 superstars in the league defending him, he feels that his status has been raised a lot in an instant.He was excited, and naturally hoped to perform well against Ying Xiong and make a name for himself in the league.

But it was difficult for Bill to catch the ball.Ying Xiong is 203cm tall, but in terms of agility, he is not inferior to him at all, and even moves faster than him.

Yingxiong's long arms make his defensive range much larger than that of DeRozan, and his defensive skills and wisdom are far from what DeRozan can match.

Bill felt the pressure, and the previous excitement was gradually overshadowed by the pressure around him.He couldn't get a chance to catch the ball by running, so he could only run to Wall for hand-offs.

Bill finally got the ball, faced the one-on-one defense of the opponent, and started singles.The few fans at the scene began to cheer for the team's young talent, giving him some motivation so that he could not fear the defense of MVP-level stars.

With the ball in hand, Bill feels more at ease. Most of the small black guards in the NBA like to hold the ball. Bill, who is one of the best off-ball shooters, also likes to attack with the ball. When they have the ball in their hands, they feel most at ease.

Bill held the ball and singled out Yingxiong on the weak side, dribbling the ball cross-legged, trying to defend the opponent.

Yingxiong's position is to give Bill a certain distance, but not to release the shot. With his height and wingspan, he is fully confident that he can interfere with the opponent when he pulls up.

Bill felt that he had a chance to shoot, but he just didn't dare to shoot. For some reason, he seemed to have a feeling that as long as he pulled out, he would be blocked by the opponent.

The strong pressure made Bill very irritable, and he began to change direction and force his right hand.For him, breakthrough is more suitable than shooting at the moment. The opponent is so much taller than him, and the center of gravity is also high, so the lateral movement should not be as good as him.

But the result disappointed him. Ying Xiong had blocked his breakthrough route ahead of time. If he forced his way, there was a high probability of an offensive foul to meet him.

Shocked, Bill quickly pulled the ball from his crotch to his left hand.But the road still didn't work, which made him very frustrated.What's worse, the attack time is running out...

Bill couldn't help it. Passing the ball was impossible at this time, so he could only force it by himself.He crossed consecutively, but he just couldn't get out of the space. In desperation, he could only step back and shoot a jumper.
