Chapter 132 132. The Competition in the Training Camp (for Subscription)
"I'll play AD, and you choose an opponent yourself." George took the lead in choosing the most difficult opponent, and finally looked like a captain.
Of all the fifteen players in the training camp, the only inside player was Anthony Davis.Although he usually plays the power forward position, it is also possible to play as a center forward.
Not only does it have a positional advantage, but it also has an advantage in height, which is something that the other two teams cannot solve.
Only George in the team can approach Davis in height, and then use his own defense to have some impact on Davis.
Now that the captain has been selected, other players must also be matched one by one. Richard corresponds to Pope, Booker corresponds to DeRozan, Murray matches Exum, and Thomas Jr. and Clarkson make up a pair.
Take a serious look at this time.The George team is strong offensively and weak defensively. Booker Richard is known for his strong scoring ability and weak defensive ability. Thomas Jr. is a big colander. Murray is not yet well-known, but he is also a player with insufficient defensive ability.
Do you want to fight against your opponent?
With doubts in his mind, Richard stepped onto the field.The game between George and Davis will begin immediately.
When the game started, there was no time to arrange tactics at all.
The George team served first, because the Davis team was late the longest, and they were bullying and unruly.
Thomas Jr. controls the ball. The point guards in the team include Thomas Jr. and Murray Jr., but Thomas Jr. is this year's All-Star guard, and he will never let rookie Murray play the point guard.
Thomas Jr. rushed straight up to take the lead alone, but this is not the Celtics. There is no tactic specially created by the head coach for him, and there is no center to help block people.
Thomas Jr., who shot in a panic, could only get one strike.
Looking back, Davis squeezed George away from the inside and made an easy layup.
Thomas Jr. failed to score for the first time, and hit the inside again, but still missed.
Davis grabbed the rebound firmly.
Clarkson and DeRozan made a pick-and-roll, and DeRozan forced a pull-up shot against Thomas Jr.
The goal of the Davis team is very clear, that is, two points, one is Davis's own strength, and the other is Thomas Jr.'s weakness.
Serving again, George didn't hand the ball directly to Thomas Jr., but gave it to Booker.
Although Booker usually talks a lot, he is still very focused when playing. DeRozan is not the opponent who defends Booker. He throws off the defensive Exum. Booker takes a step back and hits a three-pointer to close the score.
The two teams began to attack at this point. George pulled the outside line and shot a three-pointer, while Booker continued to fire and scored consecutive points. It has to be said that Booker's scoring ability is indeed very strong, and there are not many one-on-one who can limit him.
Thomas Jr. was still bullied, and he didn't get anything good on both ends of the offense and defense, but he still didn't want to pass the ball.
Richard also got a chance. Pope succeeded in the inside singles and continued to score for the team.
Murray didn't touch the ball for a full 5 minutes.
Proper contempt chain.
The defense was terrible. Thomas Jr. was targeted, and almost every player chose to hit him in a misplaced position. George played well, going around the front and stealing Davis once, but as long as Davis holds the ball, there is no way to limit it.
Unsurprisingly, Team George lost the first game.
Davis and the players high-fived and walked off the field.
It doesn't matter whether you take a rest or not. There is no particularly heavy physical exertion for 5 minutes. What matters is that you win.
Owen is also ready to play.
"Hey, you guys have to help me defend." Thomas Jr. seized the only opportunity to communicate and lost his temper at his teammates.
Thomas Jr., who is currently the boss of the Celtics, has no fault of his temper, but except for Murray, no one in the team will accept Thomas Jr.'s random tantrums.
George even discussed with Richard how to play inside.
Although Richard's inside footwork is not very proficient, it is better than the other players. George wants to pull out to the outside to break through with the ball, and the two muttered for a while to discuss a tactic.
Booker stood far away, completely ignoring Thomas Jr.'s complaints. Booker, who had complained enough off the court, improved his concentration a lot when he came on the court.
Only Murray listened honestly, still nodding aside, but it was impossible for Murray, who was also defending the perimeter, to join hands.
Thomas Jr.'s temper has not been exhausted, and the problem has not been resolved. Irving has led the team onto the court.
Just taking a breath, you have to face the challenge of another team. This is also designed by Kobe to improve the players' resistance to pressure and explosiveness.
Staying on the court to attack first, Thomas Jr. made another personal breakthrough in anger. Of course, it may also be to test whether the other team continues to target him.
As a result, nothing has changed, and Thomas Jr.'s obvious weakness on the court will only be infinitely magnified.
As long as Thomas Jr. refuses to pass the ball, he has no chance to score.
Owen is the kind who grasps the weakness and never lets go. He turns around and directly overpowers Thomas Jr., easily winning the score.
As a result, Thomas Jr. can no longer continue to attack with the ball.
The ball was only given to Booker. Booker scored four goals in the last round and was in a very hot state.
This time Booker continued the same fiery touch and continued to score from the outside.
Irving continued to single Thomas Jr.
The Davis team also took turns playing Thomas Jr., and Irving played alone. This is to crush the opponent's psychological defense.
After scoring again, Owen didn't know what to say to his teammates.
Booker was double-teamed when he attacked with the ball again. McCollum and Hield double-teamed Booker and emptied Murray.
In the last round, Murray didn't touch the ball and had no sense of presence. No one should pass the ball to him this round.
There is nothing wrong with Owen's thinking, and there is actually nothing wrong with it.
Booker didn't pass the ball after being double-teamed, and he barely made a shot and was blocked.
Although he spread his hands to express his incomprehension, who would explain it to him?
4 vs. 5, Irving made a fast break pass to Aaron Gordon for a dunk.
Seeing that the team couldn't open the situation, George came to control the ball, and Aaron Gordon also pulled out the outside line.
Both of them are forward players, and they often face each other on the outside, and they are very used to it.
But in this way, there are eight players standing outside, only Richard and LaVine are in the middle distance, and there is no one inside.
If it's on the field, it's a weird thing. How can you play in a game with no one protecting the basket, but in this kind of training game, there are no inside players, so it's normal to form such a situation.
George's dribbling is very smooth, and his slender body makes his playing style less like Kobe and more like McGrady. Of course, he doesn't have the sturdy talent of McGrady.
Continuously changing directions ahead of time, George strode out, and Aaron Gordon stuck to the defense. At this time, George changed his rhythm again, suddenly slowing down and changing to three steps slower, throwing Gordon's defense away.
LaVine quickly helped defend the past, but George's throw was still a steady hit.
Irving's offense was still initiated by Irving, grabbing Thomas Jr., and Aaron Gordon and LaVine both opened up the space, and there was no way to stop it. They could only watch Irving blow up Thomas Jr. over and over again.
George took possession of the ball again and didn't play by himself. He is not a person who likes to organize with the ball very much, although he has this ability.
Passed to Booker, Booker was double-teamed again, Booker had to quickly pass it out, "Why! It's just a training game, why do you double-team me? There are too many double-teams in normal games, and now there are double-teams in training. Can't people play well?"
Kobe on the sidelines heard it too and frowned.
That's right, for Kobe, who double-teamed the two and said he was a wide open, Booker's words were completely opposite to Kobe's character.
Thomas Jr. took the ball and was oppressed by Irving. Without a pick-and-roll, Thomas Jr. could not break through. Thomas Jr. had a sense of fear after being singled by Irving consecutively, so he had to pass the ball again to Richard.
Even if Murray is open, no one wants to pass the ball to him.
Richard got the ball, LaVine pressed hard, Richard changed his footsteps continuously, shook LaVine, and scored a layup.
On the defensive end, there is absolutely nothing to do. Irving takes care of everything by himself and blows up Thomas Jr. Even if he switches defenses, he will be misplaced again.
The smile that often hangs on little Thomas's face has long since disappeared, and he was almost about to swear.
Thomas Jr. was targeted, Booker was flanked, Murray couldn't get the ball, George's offense seemed to have skills cooling down and he didn't play, and Richard stood inside and no one gave the ball.
The George team's offense fell into an unsmooth situation. In just 5 minutes, the result could not be adjusted at all, and they were defeated again.
Both opponents lost, does this mean that George is the weakest of the three teams?
Although no one thinks so, it also shows that the shortcomings of the George team are the most obvious, and no one stands up to lead the team.
"We need to divert the ball! Even if you don't want to help me defend, you must play the offense smoothly!" Thomas Jr. got angry again.
Although what he said was very reasonable, but with a premise, everyone didn't want to listen to little Thomas's domineering orders.
Murray nodded desperately, but it was useless. He said he wanted to pass the ball, but it was Thomas Jr. who never let Murray get the ball.
Booker looked irritated, "Obviously it's one-on-one marking, and I will double-team when I come here. I hate being double-teamed. Why can't I play well for a while..."
While speaking, Davis led the team to the court again. Seeing the other party's confident smile, Richard cursed inwardly. This is how he treated this team as soft-bodied.
It is obvious that each player is very powerful and famous separately, but together they have no results, and instead they are sieved by other teams.
Not only was he beaten into a sieve, but he was also treated as a fool.
