NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 3 I am the defensive pillar of the team!

The game continues.

Yao Mai was absent due to injury, and the Rockets' offensive starting point was served by the little black bean Brooks.

The speed and agility of the super-class little black beans, constantly tearing up Curry's defense.

For several rounds, Curry was passed by Xiao Heidou in one step.

After Xiao Heidou broke through to the basket easily, he attracted the inside defense and constantly created opportunities for Diamond Scola.

Facing the Warriors' starting No. 4, Ronnie Turiaf, Scola played as vigorously as he did on the international stage.

However, Ariza, who was traded from the Lakers and trained as the core, struggled under Qin Dong's defense.

Qin Dong can not only keep up with Ariza's best off-ball cutting and off-ball running, but also seriously interfere.

The first quarter lasted to 4 minutes and 11 seconds, and the score of the two sides came to 14:17.

The Warriors led by three points.

The Rockets attacked, and Xiao Heidou once again used his speed to overwhelm Curry and hit the basket. Facing Andris Biedrins who jumped out, Xiao Heidou made a small hand-off pass to Hayes under the basket.

Hayes' bullet speed is slow and his height is not enough. He feinted a shot under the basket, attracted Ronnie Turiaf's defense, and immediately passed it to Scola on the weak side and low post.

After Qin Dong saw it, he had no choice but to let go of Ariza who was facing him, and went to help defend Scola.

Although Qin Dong's speed and agility are not top-notch, they are also second-rate. In addition to his long wingspan, Scola, who raised his hand to shoot, immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Ariza who cut without the ball.

At this time, Qin Dong has already jumped up to block Scola, and it is impossible to have time to defend against Ariza who cuts in without the ball.

Just when everyone thought Ariza was going to get his first blood in the Rockets.

With a horizontal kick, like Messi possessed, he kicked the basketball out.

"drop!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

Defensive violation!

Because Qin Dong stretched out his foot to block Scola's ground pass, his center of gravity became unbalanced and he fell to the ground.

But at this time the Warriors home fans burst into applause.

"Good-job, Qin!"

"Nice job."

"That's great, Qin."

At the same time, the game entered an official timeout.

"Although Xiao Qin's kick violated the rules, he successfully defended against an attack from the Rockets." Director Su laughed.

"Haha, yes, Xiao Qin's kick is really spiritual. Without this kick, the Rockets would have scored nine times out of ten." Teacher Yu laughed.

"Although the Rockets lack Dayao and Tracy McGrady, they have experienced the Western Conference semifinals last year. They are a better team than the Warriors. The Warriors rely too much on the outside to start and end the offense."

"In addition, the Warriors' outside touch is not good. Xiaoqin made three shots, but under the entanglement of Battier's defense, none of them made a hit."

Director Su analyzed.

In addition to 1 offensive rebound, 1 steal and 2 assists at the beginning of the game, Qin Dong also contributed 1 offensive rebound in the following game time.

Personal data is 0 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 assists.

Although the data is not good, but Qin Dong's role in the Warriors' perimeter defense is blindly visible.

跟秦东对位的特雷沃-阿里扎，0分1篮板1助攻2失误，4投0中。

Stronger than Qin Dong.

just
As a rookie on the team, Qin Dong made 3 of 0 shots, which made the two Huaxia commentators very worried. The teammates no longer trusted Qin Dong and refused to pass him the ball.

But soon, the reaction of the Warriors' bench made the two commentators, as well as the audience in front of the TV, dispel this concern.

"Hey, buddy, you did a good job." Maggette, whose biceps were bigger than Curry's head, immediately gave Qin Dong a high-five to celebrate after he walked to the bench.

"Qin, your defense is suffocating." The assistant coach of the team also gave Qin Dong a thumbs up and praised.

"Yeah, Qin, it would be great if your shots were more accurate." Monta Ellis, the team's current boss, couldn't help joking about Qin Dong who was 3-0.

"Haha." The teammates on the bench let out bursts of laughter.

"However, the person defending you is Sean, so it's really difficult to score." Ellis quickly added.

Ellis is very satisfied with Qin Dong's performance.

Qin Dong helped him make up for the mistakes he missed several times.

Among the other 3 shots, 1 was a slam ball that was almost 24 seconds into the offense, and Qin Dong shot it without hesitation.

In addition, Monta Ellis himself also scored 7 points.

Seeing Qin Dong getting along with his teammates and being welcomed by the team boss, Stephen Curry was not only happy for his friends, but also very envious.

Although I also scored 8 points, 3-pointers, 3 of 2, and 1 foul free throw after a breakthrough.

But he was chased by Aaron Brooks on the defensive end.
The Warriors' defense collapsed, and the big source was themselves.

period of suspension.

The coaches of both sides are arranging corresponding tactics.

The Rockets are on the bench.

Adelman is giving the ugly Trevor Ariza corresponding tactics, so that he has more shot rights.

After all, Ariza is the key training object set by the Rockets management.

Warriors on the bench.

"Qin, you performed very well in the game, but I think you can do better and can take on the role of the team's defensive pillar." Warriors coach Don Nelson said.

As soon as this remark came out, the teammates and assistant coaches beside him were stunned.

Generally speaking, the "inside big men" are the pillars of the team's defense. You must know that no matter how strong the defense of outside players is, they can only achieve "single-point blasting" to the greatest extent.

This Mr. Don Nelson really deserves to be a mad scientist, to trust a rookie so much.

"Okay, head." Facing this arduous task, Qin Dong showed his white teeth and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

During the NCAA period, Qin Dong's favorite thing to do was to torture his opponents, making them feel embarrassed and aggrieved on both offense and defense.

"Dude, I'll put Trevor Ariza on your lips during the game." After being entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Don Nelson, Qin Dong was not polite, and went directly to the team's starting center Andris Biedrins to explain his defensive strategy after playing.

If you want to become the defensive pillar of the team, you will undoubtedly need to communicate more with your teammates and know their defensive positions on the court.

It's just that Qin Dong's words made Andris Biedrins a little confused.

'Send Trevor Ariza to my lips' What does that mean.

Soon, Qin Dong explained that if the Rockets use Trevor Ariza as the first point of attack, he will adopt an oppressive pressing defense and use gambling steals to control Ariza's breakthrough route and send it to Biedrins' mouth, um, his defensive area.

The advantage is that it can increase the success rate of steals, force the opponent to make mistakes, and destroy the opponent's mentality.

But the corresponding shortcomings are easy to be overcome by the opponent.

But unlike the small defender's gambled steals, even if Qin Dong failed to steal, he would 'send' Ariza into Andris Biedrins' defensive area.

Either hit the basket and fight against the 211cm Warriors insider-Andris Biedrins.

Either stop suddenly and shoot at mid-range.

However, Ariza's shot with the ball was terrible.

"Qin, what do you mean, I just need to squat under the basket and raise my hands?" Andris reconfirmed.

"Haha, that's right. By the way, buddy, you must not jump, and you can't give them a chance to make a defensive foul." Qin Dong did not forget to add.

"Okay, Qin." Andris nodded seriously.
