() "What did you say?" Adrian frowned fiercely. Although Boyce Diaw is a relatively well-known player in the league, but put together with Adrian, he is definitely a "no-name general."
'That level: "Do you know who you're talking to?"
"You!" Boyce-Dior said matter-of-factly: "I will definitely guard against you today."
Adrian felt a little angry in his heart. He is not famous all over the United States, but he is at least a nationally renowned star. Who is Boyce Diaw? Although he won the Most Improved Player Award in the 2005-06 season
Player Award, but not really famous,
In addition to those who follow the Phoenix Suns, how many people know his detailed information? If Boyce-Diaw is a defensive warrior who started his career on defense, then forget it. Adrian can think that this is Boyce.
-Dior’s behavior to cheer himself up.
But Boisdio's defense is really not that good. What makes him stand out is his versatility, a jack-of-all-trades. He is the kind of person who can move wherever he is needed, and defense is really not his strong point. Especially,
After two years of training in the Hawks, whose defense was not very good, and one year of training in the Suns, which basically did not emphasize defense, even if his defense was not bad when he was not in the league, there is nothing left now.
Bang bang bang...
Adrian suddenly took a step forward, and Boyce-Diaw had a bad reaction, because he couldn't tell whether this was Adrian's fake move, but Adrian ignored it and took advantage of Boyce-Diaw's
He rushed over without reacting in time. By the time Boyce-Diaw reacted, Adrian had already moved away from him. At this time, even if Boyce-Diaw wanted to commit a foul, it was too late and he could only
Watch Adrian drive inside.
I guess he didn't expect Boyce-Diaw to let Adrian break through without reacting at all. The Suns' interior couldn't react in time, and Adrian scored two points with a close-range hook under the basket.
"What did you just say to me?" Adrian stepped back, waved to the fans who stood up to cheer for him, then turned his head and said to Boyce Diaw: "If I heard you correctly, you just said you
Want to block me?"
A look of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across Boyce Dior's face for a moment, but then he opened his eyes wide and said to Adrian: "I just didn't pay attention just now. Next, don't think about it again."
Easily score any points."
Adrian shook his head helplessly. He was not angry with Dior now. At the beginning, Adrian was indeed a little angry, and Boyce Dior's provocation made him feel quite unhappy. But now, in a few seconds,
It was enough time for Adrian to calm down and realize that this must be the Suns' strategy.
Boyce Diaw is not a proud man. On the contrary, he was selected by the Hawks in the first round of 2003 with the 21st pick. Atlanta's two-year backup point guard career was mediocre and was considered by the Hawks to have no potential.
, has no future. After being sent to the Suns as an addition to the Joe Johnson trade, Boyce Diaw ushered in his new life.
Such a player will definitely not be the kind of arrogant and narcissistic person. Even if he was a little arrogant at the beginning, his two-year bench career with the Hawks has probably smoothed away a lot of his arrogance. Besides, he also
No, no, I don’t know Adrian’s name.
, is definitely the hottest rookie this year and the darling of the media. For such a player, even the top defensive players would not dare to say that they can seal the whole game, let alone Boisdio himself. He is a very good player.
A player who knows himself.
The reason why he said these words, Adrian guessed, was probably inspired by D'Antoni.
Adrian's guess was correct. Boyce-Diaw started provoking Adrian as soon as the game started. This was really the result of D'Antoni's instruction.
In D'Antoni's view, the biggest threat to the remaining Lakers players after Kobe's injury is Adrian Kewalt. D'Antoni once studied Adrian carefully. After careful study,
, to be honest, D'Antoni is really salivating.
He is calm and has an overall view. Although his passing is not beautiful, he is quick and sure, and he can also pass the ball at weird angles. Defensively, he relies on his high footwork for his height and weight. Coupled with his height and weight
The advantage is that it can block most players in positions 1-3, such as
If necessary, he can rely on his strong confrontation ability to defend the fourth position player alone, and he is versatile offensively and defensively. The most important thing is that he also has the ability to play in post-ups. Although there are some flaws in his skills, he can rely on his solid basic skills and strong strength.
.Post-ups are extremely lethal.
Why didn't such a player participate in the draft?
How come such a player didn't participate in any training camp?
How could such a player just go to the Lakers!
D'Antoni once again felt envious and jealous. But now he must consider how to block Adrian.
If you want to block Adrian, the defensive candidate must have the strength to compete with Adrian, be able to keep up with Adrian's pace, be willing to stay down and defend, and have good defensive skills.
.
It is not that there are no such characters in the league, but it is indeed difficult to find such a character within the Suns.
Adrian is a young man, and young people are passionate, and being bloody means being impulsive and not calm enough. This means that he can be provoked by words. In addition, Adrian has almost always been smooth sailing since he entered the league.
Anthony judged that his experience must be insufficient.
If Adrian, who can provoke with words, loses his cool and puts aside the important work of organizing the team, or even blindly attacks out of anger and causes chaos for the Lakers, then this is the Suns' chance.
D'Antoni also knew that it was almost impossible to defend Adrian alone with Boyce Diol's ability, so before the game started, he found Boyce Diol to give him some advice and give him some guidance.
He provoked Adrian with words on the court. Although D'Antoni is not certain that he will succeed, if he succeeds, this will undoubtedly be the joy of the Suns.
However, Adrian did not live up to D'Antoni's wish, because Adrian's experience is too rich. On the surface, he is just a young man who has just passed his 20th birthday, but in fact, his life experience is already rich.
To be compared with an old guy like D'Antoni, this little provocative tactic is trying to provoke Adrian to lose his calm, which is really a bit taken for granted.
When Adrian once again faced Boyce with the ball, Adrian completely turned a deaf ear to the provocative words that Boycedio kept spouting. Taking two steps forward, Adrian raised his shoulders slightly.
, made an instruction move that the Lakers players knew well but that was difficult for outsiders to see, and then suddenly broke through to the left!
Boyce-Diaw's defensive ability may be problematic, but his defensive attitude is definitely serious enough. When he saw Adrian trying to break through to the left, Diaw, who had been suddenly broken through by Adrian before, this time sprayed provocative words,
While concentrating, he immediately responded.
Bang~~~
Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, Boyce-Diaw felt that he had hit something. Boyce-Diaw, who had almost shifted his center of gravity to the right, immediately became unstable. At this moment, Adrian had already changed direction in front of him.
Pulling back the basketball, he drove into the penalty area from the right side of Boyce Diaw like a gust of wind.
Marion jumped out immediately.
In terms of guarding the inside, Shawn Marion, who has amazing athletic ability, has always been responsible for the immediate defense after the outside line is broken through. Therefore, his action of pounced on Adrian seemed very skillful, not only blocking Adrian's breakthrough route, but also blocking Adrian's breakthrough route.
A pair of upper arms were waving up and down, interfering with Adrian's pull-up jump shot.
But Adrian neither chose to continue to break through Marion's defense nor to make a pull-up jump shot. Instead, he used a seemingly unremarkable ground pass to move the basketball to the left free throw line, where... just now.
Odom, who helped Adrian complete the pick-and-roll, was standing there.
After catching the ball and shooting, Diaw tried his best to pounce on Odom, trying to interfere with his shooting, but due to the height difference and Odom's extremely decisive shot, he was unable to interfere.
Bang~~~
It's a pity that Odom, who just came on the field, didn't seem to be fully active yet. The shot was a little short, landed on the edge of the basket and bounced out. There was chaos under the basket. In the end, Marion relied on his unusually long arms.
He occupies a powerful position and just grabbed the rebound in the presence of a long man inside.
D'Antoni frowned. Although Odom's goal was not scored, the tactic worked. It was a very simple pick-and-roll tactic, simple, but compact!
The Lakers' triangle offense doesn't seem to have such a simple pick-and-roll?
Relatively speaking, D'Antoni didn't care about Adrian passing the ball, waving his hand to indicate that Diaw didn't need to provoke anymore. Since Adrian could stay calm and choose to pass the ball, then Diaw's provocation would only be
It's just humiliating oneself. Provoking Adrian and causing Adrian to perform abnormally is an off-game move in itself, and D'Antoni didn't expect it to be successful. It would be great to succeed, but if he didn't succeed, D'Antoni would only be able to do it.
After a little bit of disappointment, I quickly adjusted.
On the contrary, it was Adrian's simple and crude pass after the pick-and-roll that caught D'Antoni's attention. However, he couldn't tell what effect the pick-and-roll would bring. He just had a vague premonition that it was not good. (
