Chapter 401: One step tops three steps

Halfway through the first half, Ji Guochou scored 5 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, Ji Guomo 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, and Durant scored 6 points and 1 rebound.

Delhi Cross scored 8 points, 3 assists and 2 steals, OJ Mayo scored 10 points, Michael Beasley scored 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Westbrook scored 9 points and 2 assists.

After Ji Guoqiu was criticized by James on the temporary live commentator, the defensive end finally became serious, which made Brooke Lopez, Mark Gasol, and Michael Beasley complain. They are not the opponents of Pandas at all. Once the opponent is serious, it will be difficult for them to get points.

LeBron James accepted the invitation this year and served as a live commentator for the rookie match. As a result, he kept talking with great responsibility...

"Durant has been in the start and has a very strong ability. He is worthy of being the best small forward in the second grade. Fernandez performed well in his rookie season and had a strong dunk against Howard in the Olympics against the United States. Ji Guomeng was accurate in his long shot. I knew he was scoring points. He was like the No. 24 in Los Angeles, and he didn't want to let go of any honors. I saw the flame of scoring points in his eyes. The Panda brother I admire the most seemed to not wake up today. I didn't see his performance on the offensive end, but he got a lot of rebounds and assists. It seems that he was scoring points for his younger brother, at least that's what I think."

Nine players of the sophomore team started rotation around the tenth minute of the first half. After the two brothers left the court, the sophomore team's inside line became no longer as solid as a rock. Lopez had a height advantage against Scola. The Argentine actor was not like the time difference between the Rockets. It was just a normal layup.

Brooke Lopez has a very solid basic skills. He didn't see much when he was playing against Ji Guohumiliation. But when facing Scola, he had a huge advantage in height and weight. He really beat Durant in defense, and then scored three steps slower and scored a goal with a hook in the three-second zone.

His partner, Marc Gasol, even made a turn and dunk after a back-on attack. The first-grade players with superstar potential are not as good as second-grade players, but there are more powerful players than second-grade teams, especially several older European rookies, who are not inferior to second-grade students in terms of experience.

Fernandez made three-pointers in a row. He and Gasol Jr. cooperated very well with inside and outside, and Westbrook's power to break through with the ball was not inferior to Ross. The performance of the first-year team during this period was surprising. They launched a counterattack after the twin brothers left the field and quickly overtook the score.

At 5 minutes and 30 seconds in the first half, the score was 40:44. The first-year team overtook the score. Coach Howard saw that the situation was not good, quickly replaced the twins, and the second-year team resumed its main lineup.

James continued to devote himself to his commentary career. He didn't notice that he was shouting louder, but it sounded like a lot from the audience. This was also a very interesting thing.

Gorilla spoke very fast, and said with the same speed as R&B: "The first-year rookie players have good basic skills and can make shots without defense. The second-year rookie feels not very good during this period, and the first-year rookie gradually widened the score. They have an advantage in the inside height, including Lopez and Mark Gasol, who have both offense and defense. The defense of the two teams is tighter than in previous rookie games. They used to let go of layups, but now they really have a sense of defense. In the past two years, we have played very seriously in the All-Stars, whether it is rookie games or main games, because fans like us to play. Look at the hit rate, the second-year hit rate is higher, because they counterattack more, and now there are more big men in the first grade, so they are more half-court offense. I think Howard will replace the twins as soon as possible. With these two, they can play quickly and switch positions or fight positions."

Ji Guomeng stood on the sidelines and felt very distressed. He didn't expect that the gorilla was so capable as the host on the scene. He didn't usually say much?

The two brothers soon waited until the dead ball returned to the court. Durant played two minutes earlier than them. In these two minutes, Xiao Shubao scored two three-pointers, but the second-grade team could not withstand the first-grade team's strong attack and was still four points behind.

Ji Guohuo has long been unable to help it. Durant, a bastard, has seen his score level increase this season. It can be said that he is not worse than him. Even the main flaws of last season and his shooting percentage have also been improved. From this perspective, it seems that he has made faster progress than his time and space. Maybe it was the pressure he brought that allowed Durant to fully realize his potential. This is really bad!

"It's okay, with me here, if I don't pass the ball to him, it's useless for him to fly." The giant panda said in his heart. Looking at his honest face, who would have thought that his heart was so dark-hearted, it was really nothing.

Durant indeed found that he could not get the ball. As long as Ji Guoqiu reached out to his hand at the high position, how could Stucky and Brooks dare not give it, especially the latter, where Boss Yao was still sitting on the sidelines and gnawing on popcorn.

Ji Guomeng was now happy. Although the first-year team used double-point guards Ross and Westbrook to achieve unexpected results, the second-year team was still catching up with the score bit by bit with Ji Guomeng's shot from the outside.

However, not long after, the situation changed. Howard suddenly remembered that Brooks played for only four minutes in the first half and replaced the Little Black Bean in the last three minutes. Then the Warcraft thought again, it would be better to switch Scola to play the fourth position and let Durant play the second position. Then there are two pairs of combinations on the field that belong to the same team, and maybe they can make an attack wave with tacit cooperation.

In the last three minutes of the first half, the second-year team's lineup was adjusted again. Howard was like playing a 2k game, doing whatever he thought, and the lineup on the field became: Aaron Brooks, Kevin Durant, Ji Guomo, Louis Scola, and Ji Guoqiu.

Warcraft had a good idea, but after Brooks appeared, he obviously did not find the kind of tacit understanding he had with Scola when he was on the Rockets. After he appeared, he was eager to show himself, but his three-point shot failed to find the front star. For such a scene, Brooks seemed to be a little nervous, and made consecutive mistakes and fouls after he appeared.

The first-year team played the "tum" tactic, with two tall insides, two defenders with abnormal breakthrough speed outside, and a shooter on the small forward. Ross and Westbrook took turns to dribble through under the cover of the inside. This actually made the two brothers feel passive.

It’s not that they are not strong in defense. It’s really because these two people are too fast. Once they pick-and-roll, it will be difficult to keep up with them if there is a slight obstacle.

"Damn, these two guys will be superstars in the future. I forgot that there are many strong people in the first-grade team. That Love didn't even enter the rookie game and will be a maximum-paid player in the future."

"Then be serious, these two guys have never been good at projecting. Let's put the outside line to them."

It is more appropriate for the second-grade team to say that Howard is the coach, Panda Brother is the coach. Ji Guoqiu found an opportunity to discuss with his teammates, and even Durant had no objection. He really couldn't defend his teammates, and he also knew his teammates best. That guy didn't have the ability to make three-pointers at all, at least this season.

After the second-year team contracted their defense line, Westbrook quickly made irons on the outside. Of course, he was not the only one who made irons. Ross' three-pointer was not much better than Westbrook. The two of them "bang bang bang" and ravaged the basket. The second-year team quickly overtook the score again.

Ji Guomo's offensive power is simply unable to defend with the first-year team. In the All-Star Game, he not only used the ball-catching shot after running without the ball to score. He also frequently used the ball-holding and breakthrough offense that he had been honing, and used his newly learned jump layup to launch an attack.

He learned this skill with Crawford for several months. He was prone to making mistakes in the regular season, but his defensive intensity in the All-Star Game was not high, so it worked just right.

In another time and space, after Durant lost the finals in 12 years, he also strengthened his ball-holding offense, and only then did he truly enter the ranks of superstars. Outside projectors who do not have the ability to take the ball offense will never become superstars. They must have the ability to face tight defense and get rid of their opponents. Otherwise, when faced with those defensive experts, they will easily be restricted in the playoffs.

Nowitzki does not have this ability, but he will be independent, but Ji Guohuo will not be able to do it. His figure is similar to Durant. Since the latter can make a sharp breakthrough, there is no reason why he can't do it.

Facing Ji Guomo, Beasley found that when he found out that he could not defend himself from the fox at all.

Ji Guomeng's explosive power is the top among the inside players, and it is also an excellent level when it comes to the small forward position. Except for the number three superstars such as James, few small forwards have stronger explosive power than him. Especially his long legs, he almost passes in one step when breaking through, which makes his breakthrough speed few people can defend even in the number three.

In his own words, that is - three steps in one step, and it is easy to break through.

Due to his height, Ji Guomeng dribbled with a relatively high dribbles, so there are few changes. There are no crossovers that are dazzling. At most, they meet good defense opponents and have one or two simple emergency stops and change directions. There are many players in the NBA who are better than his breakthrough skills, but those people are in the first and second positions. Among the inside players, his breakthrough is undoubtedly S-level. Ji Guomeng is like Durant. The three big steps after dribbling over the opponent's opponent's attack on the basket is the most buggy technique.

Beasley discovered that as long as he was passed by Ji Guomo, the little fox would basically not be able to chase after the second step, and he could not even stick it, and the players who were making up for defense in the inside could not react.

Ji Guomeng's legs are too long. He can make a layup after passing Beasley and dunk in two steps. With his explosive power, even Garnett is very passive when he encounters a peak. If there is no defender holding on to the slowdown, 99% of the shots cannot be blocked. Even if the defensive player stands well and has a correct prediction, he will probably still foul him in the end, because Ji Guomeng's hands are long and jumps high, and his telepathy can avoid blocking in the air.

Old Dunleavy privately commented on Ji Guomo, believing that as long as he practiced his ball-holding skills for two more seasons, his scoring ability will definitely rank among the top five in history.

After Ji Guomeng re-appeared, he broke through Beasley in a row, scoring an astonishing 11 points in the last three minutes of the first half. Durant was also amazed by this scoring speed. Unless his three-pointer shot exploded, it was impossible to have such a fast scoring speed. But Ji Guomeng didn't need it. He just had to break through like this. If he had a good feel, it might be 50+ or ​​even 60+ at a time.
