Guard With a Knife

~: 209: [Progress visible to the naked eye]

Shane Battier graduated from Duke University and is a proud student under coach K. WWW.suimeng.lā once was the leader of the Grizzlies after entering the league, but after joining the Houston Rockets, he gradually gave up his offensive pursuit and turned to concentrate on becoming a 3d player.

Shane Battier is recognized as a defensive expert and locker room leader in the league. The difference between him and Artest is that he is always personable, and some people even call his nickname ‘President’. His defense is also different from Artest. Artest’s individual defensive ability is better than team defense, while Sean Battier is better than individual defense: he is good at taking advantage of his teammates. . For example, when defending against a peripheral attacker, he prefers to drive his opponent to Yao Huang's side, and use Yao Huang to form a huge barrier against him!

After the second half restarted.

Doug returned to his position as a point guard, and... either in a quick attack mode or in a positional battle.

This is a great challenge to his ‘organizational literacy’.

Brooks is also eager to try in front of Doug, trying to steal Snoopy: He always has a kind of fascinating confidence in the point guard who switched from inside coolie, thinking that as long as he reaches out fast enough, he will be able to get the ball out of Doug's hand. .

But Doug disappointed him, and Brooks couldn't get close even when dribbling the ball on the spot. Firstly, because Doug's body is very strong, Brooks is no different from bean sprouts in front of him. Secondly, because his ball protection ability is very good, the basketball seems to grow in his hand, like an arm!

When Doug's first ball smashed into the basket, he attracted a double-team pass to Marion after hitting a mid-range jumper.

His defender becomes Sean Battier.

Battier adopts a defensive posture, he is not ready to make high-intensity physical contact with Doug.

In this situation, Doug, who has no shooting ability, is relatively difficult.

He could only use the cover of his teammates to continuously accelerate the impact of the penalty area, but the clever Battier quickly followed behind him, forming a block within the semicircle.

However, Doug's passing awareness and ability surpassed Battier's imagination, and he began to pass basketball frequently.

However, his teammates have a low hit rate and frequently hit the iron.

But fortunately, the Rockets' shooting rate is not high because Yao Huang was blocked and double-teamed by the two major insiders of the Heat and Doug's crazy.

Peripheral players also became misaligned due to the intense confrontation on the defensive end.

In this style of play like a meat grinder, the number of fouls by the two teams is very surprising, and the number of goals scored is pitiful.

The game progressed to the 9th minute of the third quarter.

The Rockets finally relied on Yao Huang's turn-over jumper to hit a shot that tied the score.

At this time, Yao Xuan's whole body is completely wet, and his running speed is obviously decreasing: on the defensive end, he has to meet Du Ge's collision again and again. On the offensive end, he has to face the constant containment of two or even three Heat players at the same time. Every time he receives the ball is a battle, and he has to hang two players on each turn.

This kind of defensive strength surprised the TNT commentators. "Why did you suddenly play a playoff-level defense?"

Although the point difference established in the first half has been tied, Pat Riley sitting on the sidelines is still gratified. He likes this kind of iron defense that is dense and not afraid of confrontation. Although the penetration of the outside is not enough, the blockade of Yao Xuan from the inside has definitely reached the level of the playoffs and even the semifinals.

At this time, Du Ge on the court once again came to the three-point line with the ball.

Sean Battier is still standing in front of him.

Battier looked at Snoopy in awe, even though Doug didn't score any points under his own defense.

But his aggression against the Rockets' defense is visible to the naked eye. He used the pick-and-roll to get deep into the penalty area almost every time, and to a large extent tore the defenses of Luis Scola and Yao Xuan, and even the nervous Ron Artest was also involved in him. This gives his teammates a lot of opportunities. If their shooting percentage is higher, Houston will still be behind.

And, what makes Battier's creeps the most is... this kid is making progress. As a defender, he clearly felt that Snoopy had more precise control over the breakthrough rhythm, and his footsteps were more concise and quicker. Some sharp changes even reminded him of Dwyane Wade, the head of the Heat.

Battier is now worried about the fourth quarter. As Yao Huang's physical fitness declines at a rapid rate, the barrier advantage of the inside line will quickly collapse. At that time... Will he attack the basket on his own? Can you live defensively?

Battier fell into doubt.

At this time, Doug summoned Joel Anthony to the frontcourt again, and then he turned on the quick attack mode.

As Battier felt, Doug’s breakthrough footsteps became more sharp and concise. He stepped directly to the left and opened Battier’s defensive position, and then accelerated again in the second step, which made Battier even better. Turning around in advance and still lagging behind.

Then quickly rushed into the paint area.

Although at this time, Battier was still stalking behind him, he went to the basket as soon as he flashed.

Yao Xuan had already raised his hands and built a barrier at this time.

Usually this time, Doug will choose to pass.

But this time, he stopped abruptly. And while Battier quickly posted the defense, he made an upward shot.

At the moment, Yao Huang's center of gravity was a little bit upward, and he made a gesture to block the sky.

However, this is fake.

Du Ge quickly collected the ball, and at the same time Yao Huang was returning to his hand, he suddenly took off to meet him... Yao Huang's ability to control his huge body was also slow after his physical fitness dropped rapidly.

So...beep!

The referee at the basket blew the whistle without hesitation: Yao Xuan's hands violated Du Ge's shot.

Although... Sean Battier reached out his hand very quickly, saying that he reached out and fouled before shooting the ball.

But the referee remained unmoved and gave Yao Huang a fourth personal foul.

This foul number is very dangerous, because there is still a whole quarter of the game to be played next.

Judging from the current situation of Doug, he will definitely continue to make fouls.

Adelman pursed his mouth, thinking for a while. Waved to Joey Dorsey, hoping that he could give Du Ge some obstacles in the penalty area, after all, he played against Du Ge when he was in the ncaa.

Huh!

Huh!

Doug made two free throws.

His score came to 10 points.

Only 5 points away from Artest's entanglement with the female donkey's tongue.

Artest's tension at this time was already beyond words.

He met Shane Battier with a look, and he hoped that Shane Battier would take it more seriously.

Battier nodded calmly, but smiled helplessly in his heart.

Snoopy's current ball-holding ability is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. With Yao Huang's exit, he is bound to increase his attack on the basket next. For a player with unlimited firepower, the ‘15 points’ limit is too low.

At this time, Earl Johnson, who was sitting in the tnt commentary, finally saw through the essence of the game: "I guess for Snoopy ~lightnovelpub.net~ the biggest significance of this game is no longer to control Ron A. Test sent to the donkey. Instead, he used Ron Artest and Sean Battier, two excellent wing defenders, to improve the ball-handling breakthrough. Tonight, his progress was very obvious, and the more Getting used to the role of point guard. Maybe... he will become another Rondo."

La Garrondo, the fourth giant of the Celtics, a point guard known for rebounding, often gets single-digit quasi-triple doubles.

There are many similarities with Du Ge in many aspects. For example, neither can shoot, and both are good at rebounding.

But in fact, a closer look will reveal the difference between the two. Except for the extremely similar shots, there are almost no similarities elsewhere. La Garrondo doesn't have the ability to get stuck in the basket, and of course he doesn't have the ability to stand at the basket and guard the basket.

So... it is actually extremely difficult to find an accurate template for Snoopy now.

He is becoming his golden self.
