Chapter 28: Pick-and-roll fur and Eddie's block

(During the Chinese New Year, are there fewer people reading books? It seems that the number of recommendation votes has dropped by half this week!)

In Patrick Ewing's view, Blake Dolan's idea is really insidious. In order to sell Kirk Hinrich at a good price, almost the entire strategy revolves around this point guard, while other players, such as Luke Walton

, Gerald Wallace and even Mo Williams, these Knicks rookies performed more like backup players.

But Patrick Ewing still admires this insidious guy, because in order to boast Kirk Hinrich as Stockton, Blake Dolan almost imitated the pick-and-roll tactics of the Utah Jazz, allowing the two forwards in the team to

The pick-and-roll gives Kirkhinrich opportunities to shoot and attack the paint.

Moreover, he also knew that this guy had never been exposed to pick-and-roll tactics before, and he just made a tactical diagram from the Jazz game video.

"Kid, you should get a brain biopsy. How could James Dolan have a son like you!" After listening to Blake Dolan's words, Patrick Ewing muttered and sat back on the coaching bench.

The referee stood at midfield with the ball in his hand. Tonight, the Knicks who stood up to jump the ball was not Auburn University's undrafted rookie Snyder Samak, but the power forward Eddie Griffin who had just arrived in the summer league. This is also the case.

Guy's first game since moving to the Knicks.

The Pistons' jump ball was naturally taken by No. 2 Darko Milicic. In everyone's eyes, this was his show.

The advantage of Blake Dolan's high-priced seat ticket is that he is almost directly next to Patrick Ewing's coaching bench. The two people are like thieves who met in secret, communicating from time to time:

"It is said that if that asshole Eddie Griffin hadn't refused to work out before the draft, that guy should have been selected in the lottery?"

"That's right, the guy told the media that the trial training had no other effect except that it made him unable to play games with peace of mind."

"You said between two all-around power forwards, which one is more powerful?"

"I like Eddie Griffin, at least he is tougher. Although the Serbian and Montenegrin guy looked amazing in the first two games, but to be honest, his performance in the paint was about the same as Kevin Cato."

"I'll tell Kevin Catto you complimented him, Pat!"



As the referee threw the ball in his hand into the air! The two people also bent their legs at the same time, when the basketball entered a suspended state!

Kick the ground hard and take off!

But Milicic is obviously a step slower! It's not that his reaction is not sensitive enough, but that he has not adapted to NBA basketball, such as talking trash. He did not encounter this situation in the previous two games, but this game jumped with him

The player playing the ball is not a rookie, but a power forward who has been in the NBA for two years.

Eddie - I have successfully repaired my spiritual halo - Griffin kept mumbling while taking off:

"I x! White ass! I x! White ass!"

This kind of trash talk without any fancy or artistic content may not have any effect in front of NBA veterans, but it undoubtedly still has an impact on the handsome boy from Serbia and Montenegro. Milicic was put off by Eddie Griffin's trash talk.

He couldn't help but touch his shorts with his hands! This was the reason why he took off a step slower!

Eddie Griffin took the lead and gave the basketball to his own point guard Kirk Hinrich!

Kok Hinrich quickly advanced towards the frontcourt with the ball!

Game start!

Then I saw Eddie Griffin and Luke Walton running around Kirk Hinrich like two groups of fireflies, cutting, screening, pick-and-roll. After the trilogy was completed, Kirk Hinrich got it.

When he wants an open position, he raises his hand and shoots!

Hit two points!

This is the most basic performance of Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan's pick-and-roll tactics. It is completely different from the commonly used pick-and-roll tactics. It has formed a system. After countless years of using its skills and practicality, it has no flaws. Moreover, it is

The kind that has no solution...

A bus theory circulating in the NBA is to let Jerry Sloan stop a bus randomly on the street, and then select 12 people from it, and he can lead these 12 people into the playoffs. This theory has always been

Firstly, it affirms Jerry Sloan's coaching ability, and secondly, it affirms his pick-and-roll tactics. The requirements for players are not high. You only need to follow the coach's arrangements: running, screening, pick-and-roll, air-cutting, pick-and-roll, and scoring.

So simple.

The Knicks took the lead in scoring and Milicic passed the basketball to his own point guard, Pete Faith, on the baseline.

Peterface cautiously pushed forward with the ball. The reason for being cautious is that he needs to seize every opportunity now, otherwise the summer league will probably end and he will have to play in a low-level league overseas.

He was originally a second-round pick selected by the Seattle SuperSonics last year, but Seattle did not sign a contract with him after drafting him. In desperation, he went to Japan to play in a low-level league for a year last year. When he came back this year, he just needed to play in the summer league.

present yourself.

Of course, there are many people in the Summer League who have similar experiences to Peter Feis. They play for the Knicks today, and they may put on Wizards uniforms and appear in another game tomorrow. As long as they don't get the contract, they need to continue.

Keep running.

Arriving at the front court cautiously, he saw Darko Milicic pulling out to ask for the ball. He could only imagine the scene of him breaking through Hinrich, and then passed the ball to Milicic, otherwise he would probably be eliminated without the end of the game.

Told that there was no chance of staying with the Pistons.

This is the tragedy of fringe players. They want to show their abilities, but the coach wants to see the performance of their own future stars.

After receiving the ball, Milicic planned to rush directly towards the inside. He had done this in the previous two games. The opponent's inside players would be fooled by his footsteps and fake moves, and then he would score easily.

But as soon as he received the ball, Eddie Griffin was already leaning directly on him, making him unable to face the basket at all and could only hold the ball behind his back!

Milicic tentatively bumped into Eddie Griffin. When he felt that Eddie Griffin's strength was not that strong, his whole body suddenly hit Eddie Griffin's left side hard!

Judging from Eddie Griffin's out-of-position retreat, Milicic succeeded! He successfully knocked away Eddie Griffin and headed inside!

As soon as he stepped into the paint! He kicked the ground hard and took off! He planned to announce his arrival with a slam dunk!

Just when his legs were off the ground! Even his hands were just holding the basketball high!

There was a "pop!" sound! The basketball flew out from his hands! A big hand shattered his idea of ​​dunking!

The fans in the audience cheered immediately. They didn't care who the two teams were, they just cheered for the beautiful action! This block was exciting enough!

But the excitement is not over yet! In other words, Eddie Griffin's block should be regarded as a steal!

Because after he swatted away the slam dunk, he swatted the basketball directly toward himself!

Eddie Griffin got the ball before other players could react! He had already picked up the basketball and threw it towards the front court!

"Quick attack! Rookies!" he roared!

Luke Walton, who quickly ran towards the frontcourt when Eddie Griffin blocked the shot, received the long pass! This white small forward was actually in the empty frontcourt! Showing off his poor jumping ability!

"Bang!" A slam dunk that wasn't really a flashy one! This ended the fast break!

"In addition to drinking and taking drugs off the court, this guy can do anything on the court. With this pass that almost crossed the half court, maybe the Rockets will regret their decision." Patrick Ewing looked at Eddie on the court.

Griffin said.
