388: 2.29m background board(1/5)
At the beginning of the second quarter, young general Johnson was in high spirits.
In the first quarter, he led the 72-win Suns by eight points. Faced with this situation, the young general just smiled. He thought, wouldn't it be easy to open up the score in the second quarter?
So, he tried a little trick in the second quarter...and the score was evened!
Cuban, who was watching TV at home, covered his face. How many head coaches have been changed in the functional departments in each term? Have they been changed? Changing the soup does not change the medicine!
Even a layman like me can tell that the problem in the second quarter was rebounding, rebounding.
Why can't the little general see it?
If you let the players rebound well, wouldn’t that be the end of it!?
So anxious!
Young general Johnson died unjustly, but anyone who is not blind can see that the team's problem in the second quarter was rebounding.
But there are some things that cannot be solved just by knowing where the problem lies.
The whole world knows that sideline balls are a global problem, but how many people can actually solve the problem?
Similarly, the rebounding problem is not that the general doesn't want to solve it, but his players don't have this ability, you know!
Besides, why does the team have no rebounds? You, Cuban, have no idea. What the hell is the No. 1 center in the Western Conference that you spent a lot of money to sign? Can’t you use him? Only you, Cuban, think this is a stupid signing.
Beep.
And your favorite Nowitzki, can he get the ball?
What's the level of the Mavericks' inside line? Dampier is the top inside line, can he play? He can't!
Even though Dampier seems to be a very strong man, he has always been quite careless in protecting rebounds.
People should not be judged by their appearance. Although I may not look tall, I am actually very tall. Although I may look quite strong, in fact, his ability to protect rebounds is not very strong.
So far in this year's playoffs, Danpi, as a center, is only averaging 3.5 defensive rebounds per game. Can you believe it?
For comparison, Danpi's offensive rebounds were 3.9.
He is a typical person who wants to go outside to make up for his homework before he has even finished it.
On the court, Li Ang was still celebrating his take-off dunk just now.
Now the point difference is only 1 point. As long as Li Ang hits the extra free throw, he can completely close the 10 point difference.
After Li Ang stood on the free throw line, the fans in the audience shouted "MVP".
This series of Li Ang's second offense really inspired the Suns fans.
The 10-point difference is not worth mentioning in front of Li Ang, who is the leading scorer and rebounder.
Li Ang steadily made the free throw, allowing both sides to return to the same starting line.
Seeing this situation, young general Johnson stopped the game again, replaced the egg skin, and took Sean Bradley, who was 2.29 meters tall and nicknamed "Big Bamboo Pole".
This guy is already a veteran who has been in the league for 12 years, and his playing time is running out during the regular season.
But now this is one of the few options available to General Johnson.
Danpi is so useless, he can only protect rebounds by increasing the height of the lineup.
Bradley and Yao Ming stand together, and they are two or three centimeters taller than Yao Ming. He is 16 centimeters taller than the tall and powerful Ben.
You have to know that there are only a handful of centers in this league who are better than Ben.
But there probably isn't any center who is thicker-skinned than Ben.
If you are taller than Big Ben today, Big Ben will dare to report a height figure that is one centimeter higher than yours tomorrow.
But with a height of 2.29 meters, even a shameless brother like me wouldn’t dare to get high.
The young general still didn't believe that such a freshman center on the court couldn't contain the Suns' second attack.
After the game restarted, McGrady successfully scored on Li Ang with a screened jumper as soon as he came back, helping the Mavericks regain the lead.
After being held back by 10 points, everyone on the Mavericks team became vigilant again.
Even Maizi stopped dozing off.
I have to say that Dirk and McGrady's touch was really good today. Although Li Ang's shot was blocked by the pick-and-roll, he still tried his best to get around it and gave McGrady some interference.
But McGrady's shot was still a solid hit.
Cuban also feels that as long as McGrady and Dirk can maintain their condition, and if Liang doesn't break out, the game will still be a sure win.
Li Ang also sighed. He originally wanted to reverse the situation of the game, but McGrady cruelly interrupted the climax.
Really not human.
Now, all the Suns have to do is hold on to the score.
In order to get rid of the double team, Li Ang simply stopped holding the ball in this attack, and instead cut to the basket through a reverse run.
The Mavericks only double-teamed Li Ang when he was holding the ball today, not to the point of directly double-teaming without the ball.
Therefore, Li Ang planned to use off-ball offense to deal with the Mavericks.
This reverse run and cut to the basket was very successful. Li Ang could layup directly after receiving Nash's pass.
But when Li Ang walked to the basket, he suddenly felt that the basket was completely dark, as if it was completely covered by something.
"We are still playing ball, who turned off the lights!" Li Ang cursed secretly in his heart.
But when I looked up, I realized that it wasn't the lights that were turned off, but Bradley who was rushing back to the basket to help defend!
He is like a giant tower, standing in the three-second zone, completely covering the restricted area.
Li Ang swallowed. At this time, there was no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and drive the big car.
But Bradley is so tall. He raised his arms and stood under the basket, which caused great interference to Li Ang even without jumping.
Bradley's height coupled with Li Ang's anxious layup ability made Li Ang's cut-in layup end in a blacksmith!
On the sidelines, young general Johnson smiled slightly. I am very experienced in facing a situation like being tied by 10 points!
Even though I was tied, I didn't panic at all.
No, I solved this matter with a sudden and calm substitution.
The basketball bounced off the frame, just when everyone thought the defense had been successful and were ready to praise the young general for his timely substitution.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Li Ang landed, he immediately took off twice and actually picked off the rebound from Bradley's head!
Although Bradley is tall, his jumping ability is very poor.
For players like him, we usually use the unit of "a piece of tofu" to describe his jumping height.
Not to mention the jumping height, Bradley's continuous jumping ability is even worse than Li Ang.
Although they are both men, their abilities are still very different.
Some people have to rest for a long time after doing it once, but some people can do it three or four times in a row.
Li Ang belongs to the latter.
When Li Ang jumped into the air for the second time, Bradley didn't even react.
Li Ang's bullet speed is enough to make up for the huge height gap between him and Bradley.
After Li Ang got the rebound, just like before, he chose to stand up directly.
But Bradley is not a useless eggshell. He still caused great interference to Li Ang just by standing under the basket with his arms raised.
At this time, Li Ang was like a bird that couldn't find the hole. He could only try and throw the ball to the basket based on his feeling.
The result is obvious. Behind this 2.29-meter behemoth, Li Ang's layup popped up again!
This big car is really not that easy to drive!
The young general Johnson let out a big sigh, almost thinking that Li Ang was going to launch a second attack.
Okay, okay, the height is mine!
However, as soon as Bradley raised his hand this time, before he could take off, Li Ang rose into the air again, nodded the basketball in advance, and pointed the ball towards the basket.
But because Bradley is really too tall, it is difficult for Li Ang to operate with him in front of the basket.
Facts have proved that the longer the legs are, the better. If they are too long, it is inconvenient to perform movements.
Under Bradley's interference, Li Ang's tip-in still missed!
Young general Johnson wondered, should the Suns' offense be over now?
As a result, as soon as Bradley stood up on his tiptoes, Li Ang jumped up again and snatched away the rebound for the third time in a row.
Bradley is going crazy. I just want to grab a rebound. What crime am I guilty of!?
As a 2.29 meter tall man, Bradley couldn't even touch the ball, which really made him feel extremely ashamed.
The young general's mouth twitched when he saw it. Bradley and Leon were not on the same channel at all.
At this time, Bradley was like a time magician, always half a beat behind others.
Li Ang's continuous jumping ability makes Bradley's height useless.
