Chapter 44 The owner of the empty cutting group is online
It turned out that just before Mars hit the earth, Davis used a forward change of direction to avoid Wang Zelin's block, and easily scored with a basket.
The change of direction from a 10-inch-long man six times in length is simply too weird.
When everyone around them saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Another Kevin Durant?
In fact, Davis's series of actions just now really look like the league's current superstar Kevin Durant.
But Davis didn't care about that. After scoring the goal, he raised his arms and roared excitedly at the Trail Blazers players.
The originally cheerful eyebrows also became extremely ferocious at this moment.
"Wow, our No. 1 pick responded continuously to the Blazers' offense. Look at these two beautiful goals. He is already explaining to the world why he is the No. 1 pick and not others!"
"AD!"
"AD!"
"..."
With the support of the on-site commentator, more and more fans began to shout Davis's nickname.
"This guy has something!"
Wang Zelin, who personally sensed Davis's flexible style of play, was still shocked.
"Then we'll beat him until he has nothing left!" Lillard replied with a cold expression.
Next, Wang Zelin and Lee guided the two of them to play the pick-and-roll tactic, one of the classic NBA plays.
The pick-and-roll, as the name suggests, means "pick-and-roll" in basketball tactics. It refers to a tactical scoring technique in which one player covers the wall to help his teammates break through and score.
This is one of the best offensive methods in the basketball world, but it is not easy to achieve the essence.
The most well-known is naturally the pick-and-roll cooperation between Malone and Stockton in the Utah double era; and the combination of Wang Zelin and Lillard, both of them have shooting, passing and excellent singles in their respective positions.
His abilities are very similar to those of the Utah Twins.
The most important thing is that they are all team players with the ultimate goal of victory. These factors also meet the needs of the one-inside-one-outside pick-and-roll tactic.
Although it has only been more than a week of pick-and-roll training, Wang Zelin and Coach Lee have already established a pretty good tacit understanding.
The game continued, Lillard advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Wang Zelin left his position and came to the high post for the first pick-and-roll of the game.
Wang Zelin successfully blocked Austin Rivers who was following Lillard. Lillard was delighted. Just as he was about to cut to the basket, Davis stepped forward and blocked his breakthrough route.
As a superstar from the NCAA, Davis naturally knows something about Lillard. Shooting after the pick-and-roll and shooting three-pointers are common routines for his opponent.
Don't think it's so easy to score, I've already seen through you.
Lillard failed to get a breakthrough opportunity, but he was not in a hurry. He raised the basketball above his head with his right hand and passed the ball behind his head with a "swish".
Insider?
no!
It’s an outside line!
Wang Zelin stood one step ahead of the three-point line and was ready to catch the ball early.
At this time, Wang Zelin was completely open. After receiving Lillard's pass steadily, he took a deep breath, then raised the ball above his head, bent his wrist, and quickly shot.
The first three-point shot in actual combat felt good~~~I got it.
boom!
Whoosh!
Put the board into the basket.
His position was completely beyond Lopez's expectations...
Shouldn't the center be killing everyone under the basket? What's the point of running out and shooting?
Opposite No. 36 actually has the ability to shoot?
This is a big pitcher!
Facing the surprised looks from the Hornets players and coaching staff, Wang Zelin breathed into the palm of his right hand and then made a handjob gesture to the opponent.
Just kidding, you all formed a circle inside, why should I just rush in?
"Robin, that guy can shoot, so pay more attention." The Hornets coach reminded Lopez.
"I see."
Little Lopez replied, but she didn't have much confidence in her heart.
A big center who can play inside and outside is still relatively rare in the current NBA. This kind of player is too difficult to guard.
The Hornets' offense was still left to Davis to handle, but this time his offense failed.
After Hickson couldn't guard Davis, Wang Zelin decided to divert part of his attention in the next round. When Davis successfully broke through again, he blocked his offensive path.
Seeing that something was not going well, Davis decided to move the ball away, but was intercepted halfway by Lillard, who had great reflexes.
Lillard was not greedy for credit, and passed a long pass to Will Barton who was running in front.
Will Barton is a swingman who is good at scoring and was also selected by the team in this year's draft.
It's just that he was selected with the 10th pick in the second round, and he is far less valued than Lillard and Wang Zelin.
Will Patton has a lanky body and poor confrontation, but his athletic ability is quite good and his starting speed is also impressive.
The training ground dunker seized a rare opportunity to perform. After receiving the pass, he faced the empty basket of the Hornets and shook a big windmill.
The basketball stadium in Las Vegas ushered in another wave of exclamations...
The refreshing effect is pretty good!
"The pick-and-roll cooperation between Paul, King and Damien has begun to bear fruit. It seems that our No. 1 pick will face his first failure in the NBA."
In a gorgeous box, Trail Blazers general manager Orsi and team owner Paul Allen were watching the game.
After these rounds of competition, Orsi can basically conclude that the opposing Hornets cannot be his team's opponent.
Victory is within reach!
"Hahaha, King and Damien performed really well. I hope they can continue this kind of victory in the regular season."
It's just a summer league. If it weren't for the fact that there were three high-profile rookies in this game, Paul Allen wouldn't bother to come.
"Haha, I believe they will not let the fans down."
The game continues, but our No. 1 pick and the Hornets he leads are doomed to tragedy today.
Two fists are no match for four hands!
I’m talking about the thick eyebrows in this game.
Anthony Davis, who scored 33 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, impressed everyone present.
This young man is truly gifted!
But the Hornets still lost.
And lost by a full 13 points.
Lillard, who was unstoppable from the outside, scored a team-high 26 points and 9 assists, almost scoring 25+10.
Wang Zelin, who made his NBA debut, made a total of 9 hits in 14 shots and made 1 of 1 three-pointers. He efficiently scored 19 points and 12 rebounds without free throws, almost achieving 20+10 figures.
Although this is only a summer league game, it is enough to prove that he is definitely one of the first-class players among the rookie players of the same generation.
He, Wang Zelin, is no worse than his peers in the United States!
This fact made the domestic media very proud, and they conducted extensive reports immediately after the game.
It is worth mentioning that 5 of Lillard's 9 assists directly benefited him, which shows the tacit understanding between the two.
In today's game, the Trail Blazers scored 45 points together, leaving the No. 1 pick's 30+15 pair in despair.
Looking at the thick eyebrows that were frustrated because of losing the game, Wang Zelin almost couldn't help but want to go up and make up for it: "Brother, you, the leader of the empty-cutting group, has just been online for the first day, and the days to come will be long!"
However, for the sake of those happy eyebrows, Wang Zelin finally stepped on the brakes.
