"Edison is ready to let this year's rookie Rondo play. He was selected by the Magic with the 19th pick in this year's draft. Many people think that his pick is overrated, especially with the Magic and Nash and Nash.
In the case of Tony Allen, it seems that Edison sent him out now to defend Terry. The two are close in height and have similar body shapes. But I doubt whether a rookie can guard an experienced player like Terry."
"Kenny, you are right. I think he will be teased by Terry. If this really happens, I think we can say to him, 'Welcome to the NBA.'" Barkley is still mean-mouthed.
It makes people want to slap his big mouth.
Rondo naturally couldn't hear the words in the commentary box, but he also knew very well that others didn't think highly of him at all, so he had to work hard to prove it to others.
After Rondo appeared on the scene, he naturally found Terry and followed him like a shadow.
Terry looked at the young boy who appeared next to him, and was naturally very disdainful. He gave him a mocking look, and then said, "I'll let you defend me. It seems that your coach doesn't like you very much. I hope
Saw you making a fool of yourself."
And Rondo is not a good boy. Nash is good at swearing and provoking, so he replied, "Shut your anus."
After the verbal exchange, the two people threw their arms away and started fighting.
As the saying goes, "Only the feet know whether the shoe fits properly." Only the offensive players know whether the defense is tight or not. As soon as Rondo got started, Terry realized that this person really cannot be underestimated.
We generally say that the antonym of "attack" is "defend" or "defense". If your first reaction is "receive", then I suggest you read less and more of those messy comics, novels, and movies and TV dramas in the future.
Read puzzle books like "Magic Coach".
Generally speaking, we all say that offense has lower requirements for players’ football intelligence than defense, but there is one position exception, and that is the point guard. In fact, in terms of defense, the requirements for point guards are the same as other positions, except that they are offensive
end, the requirements for them are higher.
The Magic's most commonly used tactical routine is to put all offensive organization on the point guard, allowing them to organize the ball and decide how to attack. For a rookie who has just entered the league, this is simply a fantasy.
But defense is different. Generally speaking, the quality of defense mainly depends on three aspects: attitude, talent, and experience. Among them, attitude comes first, talent second, and experience third.
There are no big problems with these three points. Not to mention his attitude. Rondo is the most famous hard-working Saburo in the league. As the shortest center in the history of the league, he averages more than 1 offensive rebound per game.
It speaks volumes. The same goes for talent. With his super long wingspan, completely disproportionately big hands, fastest speed and super jumping, any player who plays against him will endure astonishing pressure.
As for experience, it is said that this is the biggest problem for new players entering the league, but Rondo does not have a big problem in this regard.
When many people talk about experience, they think that only by playing more, practicing more, and summarizing can they improve. This makes sense, but it is not entirely correct. In fact, experience can be taught more than talent. A good coach can tell his players what he is doing defensively.
How to position yourself, how to get stuck, and how to predict the opponent's behavior, so that players can avoid having to fumble on their own and improve their level as quickly as possible. Rondo is like this. He has been receiving excellent coaches before entering the NBA.
guidance.
His experiences in high school at Oak Hill and college at Kentucky greatly enriched his experience and honed his defensive skills. These two schools are at the same level as the American basketball giants, and they are full of all kinds of talents.
Many of Yibin's players later achieved great success in the NBA, and even the school's coaches are Hall of Fame level. Rondo fights against such players every day and receives coaching guidance, so his defensive level is very good.
High, the theoretical and tactical level is completely NBA level.
I'm not just making this up. Generally, players from elite schools will not be too bad in defense as long as they are willing to defend, because they have experts to guide them on how to defend. But the same cannot be said for those from ordinary schools. They can only explore on their own.
And it’s not necessarily right.
The most typical example is Griffin. This guy went to ordinary schools from middle school to college. On the offensive end, he can make a big difference with his legs that are rare in the history of the league. Of course, this is rather mean, but in fact, his face
His back-to-the-rim skills are also very good, but his defense is not good.
In the first two years, the only thing Griffin could do well in defense was to support players, but the main thing to support players was physical talent. As for assisting in defense and moving with his feet, he was completely incompetent. But this season, he is very good defensively.
His progress is obvious. I used to think that he was just like Jordan, he could fly at one point, but now I think he is obviously more rational than Jordan, and not so easily deceived. This is because no one taught him before, and he had no experience in defense.
Except for Edison, no one was optimistic about Rondo, but Rondo was very competitive and guarded Terry for two consecutive rounds.
The first time was when Terry broke through, forcing him to the baseline, and then surrounded him with Howard. Finally, Terry gambled and threw the ball beyond the three-point line. But at this time, Iguodala's physical talent
And the reaction speed was shown. He appeared on the ball path with one step, and then clicked, causing the ball to deflect. Josh Howard failed to catch it. Then Iguodala lifted himself up again and grabbed the ball.
Take the ball away in front of him and make a one-stop layup.
The second time, Terry didn't dare to make a hard breakthrough. He used his signature skills and took advantage of the screen to gain one step of shooting space and then made a jump shot. But Rondo didn't give up even after being blocked for a while, and took off diagonally.
Go and seal the ball. It came so suddenly that Terry, a seasoned player, couldn't ignore it. He suddenly thought about it and readjusted his shooting angle. Naturally, the final result was that he didn't score.
Thibodeau's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he turned to Edison and said, "I kind of understand why you chose this guy. He is indeed a top defender for small men, even better than Tony Allen."
Rondo had been facing off against Nash during team training before. Nash didn't like attacking during games, let alone daily practice. Therefore, Rondo's oppressive nature was not revealed, and Thibodeau didn't notice it either.
What's good about him? Of course, this is also related to Thibodeau's bad impression of Rondo, who made his performance in the training camp much worse than Felton and others. But today I met Terry
, his advantage came into play, and Thibodeau noticed it instantly.
"Hahaha, this isn't enough. It's just the beginning. There's more for you to watch next." Edison thought to himself, after a year or two, this guy will learn how to organize with Nash, and that will be the perfect version.
But at this time, Rondo's immature side also broke out. After guarding Terry for two consecutive rounds, he began to inflate himself and felt that he was invincible with his magical body protection. So after catching the ball at halftime, he domineeringly
Completely shot a three-pointer.
This ball is thrown flat and fast, but it is very lethal.
How should I put it? As soon as Rondo took the shot, Nowitzki, the Mavericks insider, subconsciously turned his head towards the basket to see if there was a chance to pick up the rebound. But as soon as he turned around, he heard a "help" sound, and then a
An orange-red thing appeared in front of his eyes.
As we all know, Nowitzki has a big face and a big nose. The ball bounced back and hit the bridge of his nose. Then it bounced out and was picked up by Terry on the other side. After Terry got the ball, he
Instead of rushing to attack, he hugged Nowitzki in his arms and looked at Nowitzki.
The German tank was also a little confused and stood there stupidly. After 2 seconds, bright red blood flowed out. A female cheerleader who had just returned didn't know what had happened. She saw Nowitzki looking at her, and then
I had a nosebleed and instantly became shy.
Nowitzki ended the game unexpectedly. No matter what, even if his brain was fine, it would take at least 2 minutes to stop the bleeding.
Edison originally wanted to scold Rondo, but this unexpected turn of events made him take back the idea. He immediately called on the players to speed up the game, and while the Mavericks players were thinking about Nowitzki, he paid attention.
Wave attack.
Sure enough, after stealing two balls, the young general also realized that something was wrong with the players and called a timeout to let the players calm down.
After the game started again, both sides were much calmer and no longer wanted to be so aggressive. After a while, Nowitzki finished stopping the bleeding. After saying a few words to Johnson, he walked to the referee's bench and prepared to go out.
"Dirk is right to do this. He comes out again not for tactics, but purely to stabilize the morale of the army. The other Mavericks players will feel at ease as long as they see him enter the court. He doesn't have to do anything after he comes on the court. Of course, if he still
If you can shoot a basket or something, that would be even better, and it can even suppress the morale of the Magic." Although Barkley is fat, he is definitely a representative of the iron-blooded power forward, and he very much appreciates this tough guy style of going into battle with blood.
But Nowitzki was still obviously affected. He just went through the motions and followed his teammates to run tactics without taking the initiative to ask for the ball. However, he did not mess around on the defensive end. Instead, he stayed close to Brand in a rare game.
, his posture was very fierce. But after all, he couldn't do it despite his strength. Brand pushed him into the goal and scored a goal. When Brand was attacking, his arm touched his nose again, which resulted in bleeding again, so he had to leave the field again.
.
But in any case, the purpose of his appearance has been achieved. Others know that there is nothing serious about him, it is just a broken nose, which is completely a skin injury.
