Chapter 828 [The gap between the first and ordinary stars]
Guo Xu was assigned to the White Team, with four teammates being Michael Reed, Bathir, Bosh, and Tyson Chandler.
Five Blacks: Kidd, Kobe, James, Cameron Anthony, and Dwight Howard.
"Warcraft" Howard jumped the ball and won the game. Guo Xu let Kid take more than one step to defend, lowering the center of gravity. Kidd took him to the three-point line and passed it to Kobe, who chose to fight Bathir in one single time.
Bathil joined the Dream Team in 2006, and started every game. Many fans questioned his strength and believed that Lao K was nepotist. Lao K was not afraid of pressure and always admired this disciple from Duke University. He once commented: "I will definitely retire in 20 years. If I want to find a successor, he must be Sean Bathil."??
Kobe dribbled under his crotch and changed direction. The mid-range jump shot from the left side missed the interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Bosh.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball and landed in the position after half of the game, and waved his teammates to fight Kidd one-on-one.
He dribbled the ball under his crotch to his left hand, changed direction to the right and successfully passed the ball. He closed the ball in three steps and rushed into the basket. He jumped up the air pull rod to avoid Howard's block and passed the ball to the left. Chandler took the ball and took a step forward, dunking the ball with both hands. 2-0.
The Black Team attacked, and the White Team used 122 joint defense, four people defended four corners of the penalty area, and Guo Xu was alone outside. Kidd took the ball to the frontcourt to pass the ball, and James rushed to the inside with the ball in the middle and was double-teamed. After the pass, Anthony missed the jump shot from the three-pointer.
Anthony is known for his diverse offensive methods. His biggest weakness is three-pointers, and he still rarely makes moves last season.
Fans all think that the three stars in the 2003 class have super personal abilities and superstar potential, but the three of them are really not suitable to play together. Various positions overlap, and it is almost the same to replace Wade with Kobe. The mid- and long-distance shooting is just a little better.
When Bosh got the rebound, he heard Guo Xu shouting, and it passed in to the sound. Guo Xu received the ball and rushed towards Kidd after halftime, and closed the ball in front of the free throw line, European steps forward, and easily scored a layup. 4-0.
The Black Team attacked, James forced a breakthrough and made a layup missed due to interference.
In the positional battle of the White team, Guo Xu beat Kidd one-on-one on the outside, attracted Kobe to double-team and then passed the ball to Reed on the left. The latter received the ball and made a three-pointer, 7-0.
The audience at the military academy were excited to shout Guo Xu's name. Judging from the players' reputation, the white team was obviously much weaker. There was only Guo Xu, a superstar and two blue-collar workers, but they played better.
Kobe heard the cheers from the sidelines a little harsh. He wanted the ball from the outside, and he hit the three-pointer on the right, and wanted to return one, but he hit the iron with interference. This style of play is quite reasonable. Kobe doesn't shoot three-pointers, who else can shoot in the Black Team?
The ball was bounced far away and was grabbed by Anthony. He leaned against Bathir and turned around and jumped to the ball. 7 to 2.
The White Team attacked, Guo Xu dribbled the ball through the halftime, and saw Kidd retreating farther, and suddenly made a three-pointer two meters away from the three-point line in the middle. Kidd stepped forward and interfered slowly and did not jump. He turned his head and saw the ball drew a beautiful arc and entered the net hollow. 10-2.
Kidd had a thousand grass-mud horses galloping in his heart.
Are you trying to embarrass me? Can you stop beating me alone?
Damn, why am I the starter? Has Lao K seen our regular season matchup?
Lao K considers the player qualifications, and making Kidd starter is a kind of respect for the veteran. In Guo Xu's previous life, this is why Kidd was able to become a fake starter at the Beijing Olympics, but this is a mistake to arrange the team's training in this way.
Kidd still passed the ball after halftime. The Blacks were trapped in the joint defense. After several passes, James' jump shot missed under Bosh's interference, and Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The White team attacked, Guo Xu's positional battle and Chandler went to the weak side after playing pick-and-roll. He relied on his speed to get rid of Kidd and attracted Howard to switch defense. He passed the ball behind the right step point and went to the middle. Chandler took a step and dunked the ball with both hands.
12 to 2, Lao K couldn't stand it and called it a pause.
The fans were cheering for Guo Xu, and they were very enjoyable to watch. The five black teams were the starting lineup of last year's US Championships, and Guo Xu beat them up with a substitute.
The 35-year-old veteran Kidd defends Guo Xu as a single breakthrough, just like a queen... I can't do it.
When the Mavericks and the Nets completed the deal, many basketball experts said that the Mavericks suffered a loss, lost the future, but could not win the present. Because there are many speed guards in the West, Kidd seemed particularly old when facing speed guards.
Lao K made adjustments and replaced Kidd. He had to worry about the face of the veteran. The scene was too abusive. However, Kidd was still embarrassed after being replaced. This seemed like a forced adjustment.
Recently, many people assert that the Mavericks will disappear from the ranks of powerful people and start rebuilding a year or two later, and the reason why the team is in a slump is Kidd.
Is Kidd a good defender? Of course, he is the league's active triple-double king, has won two assists, and has led the Nets to the Finals twice. He is recognized as one of the best organizational guards in NBA history and a future Hall of Fame player.
But Kidd obviously had side effects in the Mavericks, and the same was true for the national team. He lacked speed, was not easy to defend speed guards, and was not easy to launch fast attacks. He was not as good as his teammates in positional battles, so he could only pass the ball and wait for the opportunity, and at most he was a spiritual leader.
So Kidd did not make the Mavericks go further, but instead made the team gradually move away from the championship. The Mavericks had to wait for other positions to strengthen and Baria grow.
Lao K talked about tactics to the players of the Black Team, mainly about defense, and let Paul, who came on the bench, follow Guo Xu closely. He is responsible for organizing the offensive end and passing the ball.
D'Antoni was responsible for setting up tactics for the White Team, telling Chandler and Bosh how to cover Guo Xu, and Bosh stood up and waited for the mid-range shot. Chandler cut the basket at a free throw, and the two of them should try their best to keep a distance.
As a coach who has won four championships in the NBA, D'Antoni entered the national team but could only be an assistant coach. He was actually a little unhappy, but he just couldn't say it explicitly.
When encountering such group competitions, when one person is in charge of another team, he quietly competes with Lao K. Guo Xu's performance is so good that the white team's playing style is the tactics he is good at.
Kidd wiped his sweat with a towel and sat on the sidelines without saying a word. In fact, he didn't run much, but he still sweated a lot, not because of fatigue, but because of stress.
Only when the timeout was paused did the audience quiet down, and these people who watched the training for free could not interfere with the team.
After the players appeared, Lao K sat next to Kidd and whispered: "I won't let you play against Jason again next, I'm sorry."
Kidd smiled and shook his head. "It's okay, but I'm going to quit after the training camp. You've seen it, this team can't use me at all."
"Don't say that. If the opponent sends a big defender and is not fast, the team needs you to defend."
"I went to China, and fans would say the same thing." Kidd took a sip of water and sighed: "Do you think the United States still need to defend with Jason Guo? If the opponent sends a big defender, they will be dead. If he doesn't double-team Jason, he can score 100 points."
“…”
Old Coach K, who wanted to learn to unite the players by visiting the military academy, suddenly felt that what Kidd said was justified. After losing the last World Championships, he reviewed the reasons for his failure and always felt that he had to do a good job of defense to ensure victory. In fact, he thought too much.
