hall of fame small forward

Chapter 20 60% Control Progress

Brandon was eager to play back, and he quickly reached out to his point guard for the ball after his player fell into half court.

Andrews is also very good at being a man. He knew that if it was a small point, it was a personal war between Brandon and the Chinese, and if it was a big point, it was a race war between an American rookie and a Chinese rookie, so he handed over the ball without hesitation. Then signal your teammates to pull away with their defensive players and let them have a one-on-one fair duel!
"Hey, boy, it looks like you want to single me out, but are you really so confident that you can score?"

Totoro looked at the serious-looking black small forward and sneered, but the trash talk was not going to stop for a moment.

Brandon didn't say much. He first made a tentative step like Totoro did before, and then made a shooting action, but facing the opponent's standard three-threat action, Totoro didn't move at all.
His policy is very simple, no matter how strong he is, no matter how bad the opponent is, as long as there is no gap between amateur and professional, he will not be able to defend against every attack of the opponent.

But Totoro can limit the opponent's offensive methods, and the posture of the Asians has clearly told the opponent that if you want to make a shot, it's okay, but if you want to break through yourself, don't dream about it.

Brandon didn't believe in evil. The black small forward said that his head was relatively strong. Seeing that his fake shot didn't fool the opponent, he didn't care so much. The explosive power of my first step is better than that of Totoro!

But Totoro said in his heart that you are really thinking too much. If you are an iron head, then I am probably a diamond. Even if your iron head is smashed, you will not be able to pass through my wall.

Chinchilla moved sideways with Brandon's unimaginable reaction speed and flexible footsteps, and he stuck his inner line with the second strike first. The black small forward saw that he could not get rid of the opponent with speed, and prepared to use his strength power into it.

However, there was a loud "plop", and Totoro was not pushed by the opponent. Instead, Brandon lost his balance and fell to the ground due to physical confrontation, and the ball rolled to the side.

Bryce Johnson picked up the ball, and there were only about 3 seconds left in this attack. The referee hadn't called a foul yet. The power forward, who had never practiced outside three-pointers, smashed the ball to the basket in a hurry Go, this is of course throwing a three-stick bread ball out.

"Hey, boy, did you see the result of your confrontation with me? You are asking for your own death. Believe me, if I will never play singles with the ball again, because this is another opportunity for you to squander the team! "

Once again, Totoro, who crushed the opponent, still did not give up using trash talk to mentally destroy Brandon. The defeat of one defense and one attack did not break his mind, but listening to the opponent's taunts made him Langdon couldn't take it anymore.

However, he ended in disastrous defeats in these two rounds, and he had no choice but to feel aggrieved in his heart, which made the black players who are naturally upright feel even more frustrated.

Off the court, the head coach of the Clippers, Old Dunleavy, was gesturing non-stop. This red-nosed old man was also very upset to see that arrogant Chinese rookie, so even though it was the summer league, Old Dunleavy still gave those three or four days The temporary players practiced some double-team tactics, trying to make a fool of today's Totoro.

In the first round, he was going to let Brandon, who had high self-confidence before the game, test the waters. It would be best if he could defend the opponent alone, which would save himself a lot of effort, but who expected this The guy is a candle head with a silver gun, and he showed signs of being knocked down by a Totoro within a minute of the first start, so he was a little angry.

The players recruited by the Development League are really tm trash, none of them can play.
Seeing his coach's gesture, the other team members sneaked around to double-team Totoro. This was originally a very successful tactic. Totoro didn't have the audience's God's perspective, so he naturally didn't notice the opponent's formation If Brandon can entangle himself for a second, Totoro will definitely fall into a dilemma. This is a successful defense.

However, as the most important first line of defense, Brandon's mentality has exploded a bit, and his head is also a little unconscious
My Neighbor Totoro ran outside the three-point line and habitually collected the ball to make a shot. Originally, he thought that the opponent would not be fooled by such a fake action, so he prepared to subconsciously distribute the ball to the ambushing near the baseline. Dante Green, but what he never expected was that Brandon's ball actually jumped up on the spot.

Facing the big gift from the other party, how could Totoro not accept it?

Leaning forward and rubbing against the big black brother, Totoro immediately jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.

"beep!"

"Bang!"

The referee blew his whistle without saying a word, and Totoro's three-pointer also bounced out of the frame. His dream of 3+1 did not come true.

After landing, Totoro slapped his palm hard.

Although he was fouled on this ball, to be honest, he was not disturbed much. This can be said to be an open three-pointer.

But just because someone touched it, Totoro felt that his originally smooth hand feeling was interrupted by someone, and felt something was wrong when he made a move.

Totoro shook his head and sighed. He knew the reason why he couldn't make a shot because of the interference. Although his body's shooting attributes were all at full value, it wasn't his own hand after all!

People's top shooters rely on thousands of times, and tens of thousands of shooting exercises. The muscle memory and awareness can allow them to make adjustments based on experience when they are disturbed, but Totoro can't do it. In terms of the ability to shoot open shots, he He will not be inferior to anyone, but as long as someone touches him, his hit rate will plummet to be compared with those elementary school students.

This is definitely not possible. Now in the summer league, he can still play basketball with his physical advantages and his golf intelligence. But when it comes to the official nba games, these little tricks of his are useless, at least the effect will be greatly discounted.

If you want to encounter the opponent to play some targeted tactics, or encounter Iguodala, a star in the SF position like James, Totoro will definitely die miserably.

So the most urgent thing for him now is to increase the ability to control this body, and make those shooting and dribbling muscle memory and ball feel completely his own. Only then can he be truly complete. Crossing successfully!Right now he's still only at 60%
