Chapter 298 Stamps, I'm Back(1/2)
Magic Johnson noticed John Stockton, but Old Stockton did not notice Magic. Magic Johnson sat among the crowd, his tall figure curled up in a narrow chair.
This season's Timberwolves are chasing the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft, and their current leader is Kevin Love, a white center born and raised in Los Angeles.
It is not difficult to tell from the cheers of the fans when he appeared that this guy has some reputation in Los Angeles. Kevin Love is a college alumnus of Westbrook, a bunk brother. They played for UCL together and helped the UCL Bruins perform well.
.Los Angeles fans are thinking about him, and when he was drafted, they all hoped that they could stay and play for the two Los Angeles teams.
About two months ago, Fanci thought about trading Griffin for Kevin Love.
Although Kevin Love is not as valuable as Griffin, the Timberwolves' draft picks are valuable. Griffin and Kevin Love can swap at least three to four first-round picks from the Timberwolves. Although Kevin Love is
He produced many super double-doubles during the season, proving that he has a chance to become an All-Star.
But Griffin's market value and physical talent are unmatched by Kevin Love.
The Clippers did not enter into substantive negotiations with the Timberwolves in the end because of Kevin Love's defense, and... in the case of Nowitzki, Kevin Love, a space-based power forward, is indeed a bit outnumbered.
Before the game started, Fanci had been communicating with Stockton.
Stockton's careful guidance from Fancy.
On the first goal of the game, Fanci completed the pick-and-roll under Stockton's guidance. Nowitzki came up to cover him. Fanci quickly reached the free throw line. When the Timberwolves' defense shrank inward, he quickly
The basketball was passed to Leonard who was cutting on the other side.
Leonard carried the ball into the paint and was pushed down from the air by Wesley Matthews and Love.
Stockton scratched the back of his head.
He didn't know what to say.
This is a decisive pass, and Leonard is open.
But if he is on the court, he will definitely not pass it to Leonard. Instead, he will pause slightly and pass the ball back to the top of the key, because Hamilton is quickly passing behind Nowitzki. He will be an excellent
offensive position.
But how to teach this?
If possible, Stockton really wanted to put the knowledge and judgment in his mind into Fan Xi's mind, so that he could "understand it directly" without having to explain it in words.
"Not bad, come on!"
Stockton encouraged Fancy.
The game continues.
Kevin Love screened the point guard at the top of the three-point arc, received a pass from the defender, and hit a three-pointer.
The Timberwolves now focus on the pick-and-roll, with Kevin Love focusing on the offense.
Kevin Love has good screen quality, and his range covers the three-point line. He is a very typical pick-and-roll forward.
The game changes again, Fanci and Nowitzki pick and roll, Fanci distributes the ball to Nowitzki, Nowitzki feints a shot to defraud Love, and the Golden Rooster makes an independent jumper... Bang!
The basketball missed, and Jordan made up the ball under the basket.
Stockton frowned.
He felt that he should have just hoisted the basketball into the paint and let Jordan complete the alley-oop directly.
But, how do you teach this thing?
A lot of things on the court are based on intuition.
Jack is now doing something he is not good at.
Jack is a superstar. It is much easier for him to get into the penalty area with the ball. Why would he want to use pick-and-rolls to connect all his teammates?
Stockton began to reflect on this issue.
He reflected on this issue because he felt that Fan Xi might not have talent as a point guard. This talent was a kind of intuition.
He suggested that Fan Xi should still play the game in his own way. There is no need to reach the top in every aspect. He does not want to become the god of basketball. You are already the limit of yellow race, why bother to be so tired.
You and Nowitzki play in your own way, and you have a certain chance of touching the championship trophy.
Nowitzki doesn't have to play run-and-gun.
Stockton had many such words in his mind.
The competition is also validating his conjecture.
When Fanci and Nowitzki execute pick-and-rolls, the Clippers' offense seems to lack a main line of thinking, and Fanci has not yet taken control of the court. When they return to their familiar way, the Clippers' offense is extremely aggressive.
Sexy. When Nowitzki is playing in isolation, Fancy can roam on the weak side. When Fancy is not holding the ball, his transfer of the ball even has some agility that makes Stockton admire.
And when Fanci is playing in isolation with the ball, Nowitzki can stand in any position and create a defensive threat.
Is not it good?
Stockton was thinking.
Fanci and Nowitzki can both contain and defend each other. Although other players will become spectators at some point, once Fanci and Nowitzki attract a flanker, they will be able to get an easy shot.
The more Stockton thought about it, the less he understood what Fan Xi was thinking.
He thinks the Clippers can go another route.
However, he did not express his thoughts.
He suggested that Stephen Nash should lead the team in the second quarter and Vanhich move to the shooting guard position.
As soon as Nash came on the court, he immediately showed his agility and precision at the point guard position.
On the first goal of the second quarter, after Nash and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, he directly passed the basketball through the half court and passed it to Fanshie who was deep from the wing. Fanshi dribbled the ball into the paint area, and the Timberwolves' loose defense still failed.
Unprepared, Fan Xi flew into the sky and smashed the basketball directly into the basket.
After Fan Xi landed, he seemed very excited.
When he high-fived Nash, he said excitedly: "This is what I want, this is what I want."
Fancy wanted to fill this role of Stephen Nash.
There is no doubt about Fan Xi's current strength. He can help his teammates play easily in many ways, but what he hopes most is to use the simplest moves to drive the whole team in the most timely manner.
Moreover, Fanxi wants to become a real hexagon warrior.
He knows that he still has a long way to go. Nash is old. Nowitzki and himself are also in a limited combination. Fan Xi will face more complex forms in the future, so he must be prepared for a rainy day. If nothing else, he will be in this summer.
He was going to London to play in the Olympics. At that time, his teammates were not as strong as the Clippers brothers.
At that time, what is needed? It is the simplest and most effective move. There is nothing simpler than the pick-and-roll.
Moreover, Stockton is right to have an idea. Fanshey has great ambitions. He wants to surpass Jordan. Superstardom is not his goal. He does not want to stay in the top fifteen or top ten players in the league throughout his career.
Position, he not only wants to be the number one in active service, but also the number one in history.
The game continues.
The two sides fought back and forth.
The Timberwolves had no chance of playing back-and-forth with the Clippers.
After Nash played 6 minutes, Fanshie took charge again.
The magician watched with fear in the stands, although Fanci's passing instinct was not good enough in his opinion. Fanci is the kind of player who can help the first boss handle the ball properly when he is the second boss, but when he dominates everything
, he seems to be a little bit behind, especially when he also has a superstar as his second boss.
The magician was worried that Fan Xi would break the window paper.
In his opinion, once Fan Xi breaks through this layer of paper, Fan Xi's personal strength and the Clippers' overall strength will be raised to a new level.
At that time, when the Lakers and Clippers play, it may not be an 82-80 tie, but a 6-4 tie.
If it were anyone else, the magician wouldn't be too worried. After all, the window paper of innate intuition is not that easy to pierce.
But he is Fan Xi.
At this time, Stockton reached out and held his forehead. He was wondering what words he could use to tell Fan Xi about this without hurting Fan Xi.
The first half ended quickly.
Then comes the third quarter and the fourth quarter.
The Clippers and Timberwolves fought until the last minute.
The Timberwolves lost their armor in the last minute.
Because at this time, Fanci no longer passed the ball or played run-and-gun. He rushed into the Timberwolves penalty area like a tiger descending the mountain. His shooting rate deep in the penalty area was very high, scoring 2 goals in a row and causing 1 foul.
Fan Xi sealed the victory with 5 consecutive kills.
The Clippers' victory was a near miss. Their current record is ranked third in the Western Conference, behind the Spurs, and they are only four and a half games ahead of the Thunder.
However, judging from the media, the Clippers seem to be heading towards the lottery soon.
Who has allowed them to be "strong or weak" in recent times, and they can fight until the last minute with the Timberwolves.
How can the media be optimistic?
Now the magician is quite pessimistic. What he saw is completely different from what the media said.
