Chapter 173 Tactical Thinking (Two in One)
Antetokounmpo defends Paul alone, Antetokounmpo is 211CM tall, Paul is 183CM tall, Antetokounmpo stands a head taller than Paul.
But a tall height means that his center of gravity will not be low. When Paul saw Antetokounmpo defending himself, he did not choose to do it alone, but reached out to make a tactic.
Wei Zhiming's eyes lit up when he saw Paul's gesture. He hasn't memorized the Bucks' tactics yet, but he is very familiar with the Clippers' tactics. bit tactics.
Griffin pulled out to pick and roll Paul, and Wei Zhiming immediately moved laterally. Paul's mid-range was very accurate. As for Redick, that was Khris Middleton's man.
After Antetokounmpo was blocked, after he saw Wei Zhiming directly defending Paul, he ignored Paul and followed Griffin.Wei Zhiming squatted halfway. He looked at his former boss, Chris Paul, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Chris, come on, let me see your real strength." Wei Zhiming said loudly. After Paul heard it, he suddenly smiled. He controlled the ball and pulled out the three-point line, and then waved to Wei Zhiming.
"If you want to be the boss of the Bucks, let me see how strong you have grown." Chris Paul said with a smile, and then he waved his hand, he wanted to single Wei Zhiming.
So everyone in the Clippers distanced themselves, and the other Bucks players also distanced themselves when they saw this.
Although Wei Zhiming has ravaged the entire Bucks team, how will Wei Zhiming perform in the face of superstar Chris Paul?
The Bucks want to see how strong Wei Zhiming is, while the Clippers want to see how far Wei Zhiming has grown.
The captain of the Clippers played against the new king of the Bucks.
Facing Wei Zhiming, Paul first had a series of gorgeous possessions. Wei Zhiming was not moved. He was familiar with Paul and knew that Paul's real killer move was not such a flashy dribble, but often a momentary change.
Seeing that Wei Zhiming was unmoved, Paul's cute face withdrew into a smile, and he suddenly accelerated and broke through Wei Zhiming's right hand.
Wei Zhiming retreated in a hurry, and then Paul pulled the ball back with a dribble under his crotch, and then changed direction and broke through from the left.
Paul's change of direction was faster and more sudden. Fortunately, Wei Zhiming reacted in time. He moved sideways and blocked Paul's breakthrough again.
"Not bad." Paul followed up with a bad dribble, and then a long dribble back. After these two movements, he had already moved away from Wei Zhiming for a certain distance.
This is Paul's effective move, the dragon wagging its tail.
Subsequently, Paul took a calm mid-range shot, and his mid-range shot was still very stable.
Wei Zhiming didn't change his face. This is Paul, the Paul after a serious injury.
When Paul scored a goal, Wei Zhiming didn't feel anything. He stood on the bottom line, sent the ball to Antetokounmpo, and then moved forward quickly.
Wei Zhiming learned the tactics of the Bucks after being stayed by the head coach Jason Kidd after the internal training, but his learning time was too short to memorize the tactics of the Bucks.
Wei Zhiming himself has no intention of returning. His defense is greater than offense, and with his level of ball control, he will score points when he meets Paul.
Antetokounmpo controlled the ball and faced Paul. After he made a gesture, he moved slowly.
This is a tactic of the Bucks, and Wei Zhiming's head suddenly became dizzy. He didn't know what this tactic was for.
However, Paul did not give Antetokounmpo a chance. Antetokounmpo is too tall. Wei Zhiming can steal when facing him, let alone Paul.
Paul, the six-time steals leader, was even more relaxed. He directly stole Antetokounmpo's dribble, and then rushed to the backcourt.
Wei Zhiming was stunned for a moment, and then he strode after Paul. Unfortunately, Paul's speed was too fast, and he easily made a one-stop layup.
Jason Kidd wiped his forehead, he was afraid that Antetokounmpo would make a mistake in handling the ball, but in the first round, he was intercepted by Paul. ,
Brother Antetokounmpo was a little annoyed, and after coming back again, he was more cautious.
Wei Zhiming immediately ran out to pick and roll Antetokounmpo, and Antetokounmpo was not polite. After he used Wei Zhiming to get rid of Paul, he took three big steps.
Wei Zhiming immediately stood outside the three-point line. He frowned and looked at Brother Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo chose a bit recklessly this time, because not only was there a little Jordan waiting for him, but Griffin was also chasing him behind him.
However, when Antetokounmpo was laying up on the third step, the ball in his hand was passed out strangely.
And it happened to be Wei Zhiming who caught the ball.
"Here, his passing skills are not weak." Wei Zhiming stood outside the three-point line. Seeing this, Redick rushed over. As Wei Zhiming's teammate, Redick knew that this guy's open three-pointer was still very accurate of.
Wei Zhiming smiled slightly. With a slight shake of his little hand, the ball came into the hands of winger Chris Middleton.
"Hey, JJ-Redick, are you done with your tattoo?"
After hearing this, Redick stretched out his arms flauntingly, "Of course, Wei, although you have left the team, I can still introduce the tattoo artist to you."
Wei Zhiming shook his head immediately: "I'm afraid of pain."
Khris Middleton's goal made the Bucks fans scream excitedly. This shooting guard who has performed better and better in the Bucks has won the favor of the Bucks fans.
Jason Kidd's eyes lit up immediately. Wei Zhiming's assist surprised him a bit. Could it be that this young man still has the ability to respond.
The Clippers attacked again this time, and Griffin wanted to single Wei Zhiming. Paul dropped the ball to Griffin, and Wei Zhiming carried Griffin hard to prevent him from coming in.
Wei Zhiming's strength was almost equal to that of Griffin. Although Griffin was stronger than Wei Zhiming in weight, Wei Zhiming was not easily knocked away by Griffin.
"Wei, you're pretty good." After Griffin finished speaking, he turned around and hooked. Wei Zhiming immediately jumped up, but Griffin shot faster, and Wei Zhiming didn't block it.
Fortunately, Wei Zhiming's strength also made Griffin's rhythm wrong. He didn't score this goal, and the rebound was caught by Plumlee.
Afterwards, Brother Antetokounmpo immediately made a quick move, and Plumlee passed the ball to Wei Zhiming. Wei Zhiming took the ball and made a long pass, and passed the ball not far in front of Brother Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo then went faster, he stretched his legs to catch the basketball and it was a windmill dunk, and Paul could only watch him helplessly behind him.
"It's really a monster, just like Wei." Paul murmured in a low voice. Antetokounmpo has the height and speed comparable to Wei. The Bucks have two people, and maybe they will become powerful in the future.
The DJ of the Bucks immediately roared excitedly. Brother Antetokounmpo's name is too long and the DJ can only call him Alphabet.
On the sidelines, the two owners of the Bucks immediately applauded, and the owner's daughter, Malorie Edens's beautiful eyes also sparkled.
Jason Kidd even stood up, and Wei Zhiming's two passes showed his passing skills.
5-4, the Bucks reversed the Clippers, Jason Kidd's eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of a tactic.
"Run and blast!" Jason Kidd thought, the Bucks are all young people, and youth represents a physical advantage. If there is a master who can pass the ball in the team, then the Bucks may really be able to blast the ball. Nice record.
The running and bombing invented by Don Nelson has been carried forward by D'Antoni's Suns. Under the leadership of Nash, the Suns' starting five can average 90+ per game, which is the highest scoring starting five of all teams in the league.
This tactic is not complicated, just run and run, the English name is "runandgun!"
This tactic is not complicated, in short it is fast, and all scoring opportunities are run out.
But for this tactic to be threatening, the most important person is the point guard.
Back then, Stephen Nash was a top-level player with his speed, breakthrough, vision and passing ability. Nash's smart and coquettish passing was called the Son of the Windy City, and he showed his strength by winning two consecutive MVPs.
And the current Bucks' young lads are very suitable for this tactic. In the Bucks' current starting lineup, even Miles Plumlee, who is not too strong, is far better than the average center in terms of speed and flexibility.
And their power forward Wei Zhiming is like a bug. His strength is not weaker than the inside players, and his speed is not inferior to the first-class guards. Especially his soft touch and excellent three-point ability.
As for the other three players, they are all young players, and their oldest is 24-year-old Khris Middleton.
"It's just that Giannis Antetokounmpo is not capable enough at the moment. He is not a point guard who can run and bomb in my mind." Jason - remembers being a little annoyed. In the current Bucks lineup, there is no point guard who is suitable for the fast break in his mind. The top picks, Giannis Antetokounmpo, OJ Mayo, and Michael Carter-Williams, will not work.
"Look for a while, what I know is not just running and bombing." Jason Kidd squinted again to watch the form of the court.
Although the Bucks players are young, their stature on the field is really scary. The point guard letter is 211cm, the shooting guard Khris Middleton is 201cm, the small forward Jabari Parker is 203cm, the power forward Wei Zhiming is 211cm, and the center Mike is 211cm. Ernes Plumlee [-]CM.
And Wei Zhiming saw that Jabari Parker was more than 203cm, he felt that this guy was as tall as himself.
This is a long lineup, and Jason Kidd is even considering whether to use the Bucks' overall height as a tactic.
However, this is all about the future, and the situation on the pitch is not good.
After the Bucks made a 5-4 start, Paul once again stole Antetokounmpo and assisted Jordan. Then, as Jabari Parker missed the mid-range, Paul assisted Redick again, and the Clippers played a wave of 5-0.
Antetokounmpo has made two turnovers in the first 4 minutes, which Jason remembers not wanting to see.
"His height is still too high, and his level of ball control is not enough." Jason Kidd is a well-known point guard in the league, and he is really worried about Antetokounmpo's ability to handle the ball.
Fortunately, he is just trying this lineup, so he is already prepared.
In the next attack, Wei Zhiming felt that he needed to stand up. After he locked his position, he immediately asked Brother Antetokounmpo.
But Antetokounmpo ignored Wei Zhiming. Although he was completely abused by Wei Zhiming, he felt that he had full potential and it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Wei Zhiming.
Wei Zhiming felt his ass hurt immediately, these brats were indeed playing dirty on the court.
So, Wei Zhiming immediately ran out to get a slot for Brother Antetokounmpo, and he slotted for Brother Antetokounmpo, so Alphabet must attack.
"What the hell, I want to play point guard. If you have the ability, you don't serve me." Wei Zhiming thought viciously in his heart, no wonder many people like to be point guards, point guards can handle the ball.
Playing basketball, playing without a ball?
With the help of Wei Zhiming's pick-and-roll, Antetokounmpo easily rushed to the basket, and then he passed the ball to Jabari Parker who cut inside. Parker dunked backhand to ignite the atmosphere.
"Good pass, Giannis!" Jabari Parker and Antetokounmpo high-fived each other, and Wei Zhiming sighed suddenly. Damn, he paid more attention to ball control.
After returning, Wei Zhiming intercepted Paul's pass. He was too familiar with the Clippers' tactics. Although Paul could temporarily change his tactics, his habits would not change all at once.
Wei Zhiming passed the ball to Antetokounmpo, and then he rushed inside quickly. As a result, Antetokounmpo appeared, and he made another three-step layup at the three-point line. Not only did he score the goal, but he also caused a foul by Jordan who was chasing him.
"Ah!" Antetokounmpo roared heartily, and the Bucks fans gave him applause without hesitation.
"I'm going, this guy wants to grab the boss from me, I can't bear it!" Wei Zhiming immediately glared at Brother Antetokounmpo, he felt that he needed to perform well to suppress the boy who wanted to rebel.
"No wonder he was the first to jump out to support me yesterday. It turned out that he was not supporting me, but supporting the Bucks to win the championship." Wei Zhiming's mouth curled into a smile. It is good to have ideas, so that he will not be lonely.
After the Bucks scored this goal, the Clippers called a timeout. After the Bucks were shot 5-0, they played back 4-0. If Antetokounmpo scored a free throw, it would be 5-0.
The Bucks fans suddenly felt incredible. When will the Bucks be able to wrestle with the Clippers, especially the Clippers' small forward position reinforcement, they have no shortcomings.
10-9, the Bucks performed amazingly in this game, especially the Chinese kid they traded for Greg Monroe, who performed well today.
Of course, they were also surprised that Jason Kidd let Antetokounmpo be the point guard, but so far, the effect is still very good.
The advantage of Antetokounmpo playing point guard is that he has a wide vision, excellent height and wingspan, and it is not easy to be blocked by others.
"Good job guys." Jason Kidd clapped his hands with the players one by one. Although Antetokounmpo has advantages as a point guard, he also has disadvantages. Being intercepted twice by Paul within a few minutes of playing is enough to explain the problem.
"Giannis, you have to pay attention to your mistakes. Your height determines your center of gravity, especially when you are facing Chris. He is the league's six-time steal leader. If you are not careful, you may fail today."
"Head coach, don't worry, I believe in my own strength." Antetokounmpo said loudly, and then looked at Wei Zhiming provocatively.
