Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 195 197 [Jimmy Butler's Wrath]

Facing a rebounding idiot like DeAndre Jordan, Embiid knows very well that he cannot take advantage of the former's card position, and in turn is likely to get himself injured.

Therefore, he usually chooses to give up such insignificant rebounds.

The first shot is for the shooter, and the second shot is either for your own attack or for the team leader.

In the second attack of the Lone Ranger, Luka Doncic successfully found Jiang Hao who slid from the right corner to the basket. His overall situation looked so clear.

Bang!
For Dallas Mavericks fans over the past month, 007 and the Bayonet have become familiar.

It was just a seemingly smooth alley-oop cooperation, which still made everyone cry.

For the Philadelphia 76ers, the start didn't look very friendly, because their offense was unfavorable, while the Lone Ranger felt hot.

At the critical moment, Jimmy Butler stood up and still held the ball to break through and make a foul. He helped the team get 2 points.

Jiang Hao pointed to his head at Harris Barnes, he was a little dissatisfied with Harris Barnes' defense just now.

To be honest, Jimmy Butler is not a player who is good at breaking through with the ball. In this case, why should he go all out to stop his breakthrough?
You just let go and let him break through, so what?There is no need to gamble and immediately make defensive moves.

Harris Barnes shrugged apologetically. He unconditionally accepted the criticism of the bayonet, not because Jiang Hao was the leader, but after more than two months of competition, Jiang Hao had conquered him with his own ability. .

In fact, Jiang Hao conquered more than just a Harris Barnes?

In today's Dallas Mavericks team, there is no player who refuses to accept Jiang Hao.

And all of this was won by Jiang Hao with one incredible performance after another on the field.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle often lamented that the Bayonet was one of the fastest players he'd ever seen conquer a locker room.

After all, in the nba, almost everyone has the halo of genius. Being the leader of a team looks radiant, but in reality, not every player can be a leader, and not every superstar can be a leader. Suitable for sitting leaders.

Take Jimmy Butler of the Philadelphia 76ers as an example. Before he joined the Philadelphia 76ers, he spent a period of time in the Minnesota Timberwolves.

At that time, almost everyone thought that Jimmy Butler would become the "new wolf king" of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

But what about the results?

Even the iron handsome Thibodeau did not prevent him from being swept out.

Therefore, it is not as easy to become the leader of a team as imagined, and it is even more difficult to become the leader of a team in the shortest time.

Especially when you're a rookie.

In the nba team, team leaders are generally divided into two types, one is the cold-blooded and strict type represented by Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, and the other is the good interpersonal type represented by LeBron James. relative peace of mind.

In the view of Lone Ranger head coach Rick Carlisle, Jiang Hao's leadership style is neither cold-blooded and severe nor peaceful.

His leadership style should be one of moderation.

In other words, there are both cold-blooded and severe, but also calm and approachable, and there is also the Spurs Tim Duncan who leads by example.

I have to admit that this leadership style has indeed condensed the Lone Ranger locker room into a strand.

For the Lone Ranger's offense, this time it was Jiang Hao who advanced with the ball. For other teams in the league, this may be one of the reasons why they feel uncomfortable against the Lone Ranger.

Because the starting lineup of the Lone Ranger, and two people can play point guard, in many cases, the Lone Ranger's breakthrough and change tactics can easily disrupt their defensive rhythm.

Just like this time.

Ben Simmons originally let Luka Doncic go, but when Jiang Hao advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he had to switch defenses with Jimmy Butler and stepped forward to defend Jiang Hao.

To be honest, Jiang Hao can perform well against a defensive champion like Jimmy Butler, and Ben Simmons has a good defensive awareness at any time, but he doesn't have much defensive experience after all, and he lacks enough experience. Now, he can only pay the tuition obediently.

At the top of the arc, Jiang Hao made a three-pointer with the help of Matthews' cover.

Ben Simmons was a little annoyed because he gave the Bayonet a chance to complete 3+1.

This season, Jiang Hao's free throw line has reached a terrifying 90.00% five. In this case, it may be a matter of time before the bayonet completes 3+1.

brush!
as predicted!

Within a few minutes of the first quarter, the bayonet scored 6 points, showing an extremely hot state.

On the bench of the Philadelphia 76ers, head coach Brett Brown looked at the court with a sad face. For his team, if the bayonet cannot be limited tonight, then the hope of winning will be infinitely reduced.

Because a player like a bayonet is too destructive.

Embiid finally made his debut. His footwork was very good. He just tricked Harris Barnes and completed a layup.

Frankly speaking, Jiang Hao is envious of Embiid, the great emperor, who can make such dreamy footsteps. Recently, he has been studying various excellent footsteps.

Among them, Olajuwon's dream footsteps are the most studied and imitated by him.

But not every player is suitable for fantasy footsteps, and fantasy footsteps, as Olajuwon's signature, cannot be learned all at once.

Even though Jiang Hao has a top-level learning talent, he still seems a bit powerless in real learning.

After all, videos often fail to capture some of the essence.

Jiang Hao is already trying to find a way to contact Olajuwon, even if it is to pay expensive tuition fees, he also hopes that he can master the dream steps as soon as possible.

And tonight, seeing En'ai's standard dreamy footsteps, he was indeed envious.

Of course, this also proves from the side that Embiid does have a strong talent.

At the basket, after Embiid made a shot, he did not continue his usual style and made a passionate celebration.

Because for him, the first few minutes were failures.

The bayonet on the opposite side felt hot, and he had already scored 6 points, but he had just scored. This kind of rakshasa made him feel frustrated.

At the beginning of this season, compared to last season's extremely unstable Matthews, Rick Carlisle basically didn't even think about it, and let Dwight Powell replace Matthews in the starting position.

Compared with Matthews, although Dwight Powell has average scoring ability, he can make more contributions on the defensive end.

But as the schedule progressed, Rick Carlisle found that it didn't seem to be the case. Dwight Powell's performance was far below expectations. Not only could he not provide much help on the offensive end, even on the defensive end, he often In a state of sleepwalking.

In this case, he put Matthews back into the starting lineup with the attitude of giving it a try, but what he didn't expect was that Matthews, who had returned to the starting lineup, was very stable.

During this period of time, Matthews not only hit 3.1 three-pointers in Changjun, but also worked extremely hard on the defensive end.

Rick Carlisle had to admit that Matthews had once again earned his trust through his hard work.

This is also the reason why Matthews can continue to start in tonight's Christmas game.

Judging from the performance in the first few minutes of the game, Matthews is definitely worthy of his identity.

After hitting the first three-pointer for the team at the beginning of the game, he hit another three-pointer just now.

Help the team widen the point difference to 7 points!
This made Rick Carlisle on the sidelines smile again. At least in the opening stage of this Christmas game tonight, the players performed very well.

21: 12!

The first timeout of the first quarter of the game came, and it was a regular timeout.

It's just that the difference between the two sides surprised many people.

The Lone Ranger at home is leading by 9 points?

Do Philadelphia 76 think they are so weak?
You must know that in the past wave of five consecutive victories, they all established a large lead in the first quarter of the game.

But what happened tonight?
How did it in turn give the Dallas Mavericks an advantage?
Is the Dallas Mavericks at home too strong?
"Tough? Don't you understand? I didn't see the temperament that a strong team should have. On the contrary, what I saw was a group of soft lambs waiting to be slaughtered"

Jimmy Butler, who was on the Philadelphia 76ers' bench, was agitated. He directly made head coach Brett Brown lose the opportunity to speak, and he turned around and squatted and sprayed wildly at his teammates.

Brett Brown chose to be patient with Jimmy Butler's behavior, because although he felt that Jimmy Butler was a bit overwhelming, what Jimmy Butler said also made sense.

Looking at the performance of the players on the defensive end in the past few minutes, it is really horrible. This is why the Dallas Mavericks were able to score 21 points quickly.

And the other way around?
The Dallas Mavericks did a good job on the defensive end, allowing them to only score 12 points.

Although the best defense is offense, the Philadelphia 76ers don't go for players who can attack.

But when facing a team with a balanced offense and defense like the Dallas Mavericks, if they can't do better on the defensive end, then they can only be boiled frogs in warm water, and they will lose you step by step.

Jimmy Butler's lecture kept all the Philadelphia 76ers quiet. Although everyone didn't like Jimmy Butler's merciless lecture, they also knew that Jimmy Butler was an extremely competitive person. The reason why he was really excited , but also just want to win.

"The Philadelphia 76ers need to do better on the defensive end. Judging from the previous few minutes, they are almost in a defenseless state. A very bad news for them is that the Bayonet has scored 10 points, which means What are you talking about, I think everyone knows very well.”
