NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 33 Water hook pick and roll!

"Monta, you are the leader of the team. You need to make a calm and reasonable offensive choice." Don Nelson said as he looked at Monta Ellis, who made 6 of 1 shots and didn't even know it.

"Yeah." Monta Ellis nodded breathlessly, then added, "Sorry, my fault."

In the past, the unruly Monta Ellis would not apologize for his inefficient shooting rate, but with the addition of Qin Dong and Curry, and the recent events, Ellis, who sees the future, hope, and wants to win more balls, is changing a little bit.

"Qin, your enthusiasm for grabbing offensive rebounds is worth encouraging."

"But the opponent's center is too tall, and their offensive and defensive transitions are also very fast. Don't easily try to grab rebounds."

Don Nelson didn't let Qin Dong rush to grab rebounds, but he didn't want him to make useless attempts, and he needed to judge according to the form on the court.

This is also one of the big differences between a rebounder and an elite rebounder.

Qin Dong humbly accepted and nodded.

Although Roy Hibbert, who is 218cm tall and has a wingspan of 224cm, lacks athletic ability, he can protect defensive rebounds well with his tall stature and 122kg tonnage.

It was difficult for Qin Dong to rush to grab offensive rebounds from his hands, not to mention that the Pacers deliberately targeted Qin Dong's offensive rebounds.

As long as the Pacers players shoot, the players defending Qin Dong will stick to him like a dog's skin plaster, and will not give him room to start up.

"In the rest of the game, we need to make some changes." Don Nelson looked at the water hook brothers and arranged the next tactics on the field.

TNT live room.

"My goodness."

"Don Nelson, what did he say to the players, why the players are like hell."

Kenny Smith watched the camera switch to the Warriors bench and asked suspiciously.

"Haha. I guess this old guy wants to do crazy experiments on the field again." Charles Barkley laughed.

The official pause ends.

Both teams have adjusted their lineups.

[Warriors]: Patrick Beverly, Stephen Curry, Qin Dong, Anthony Randolph and Andris Biedrins.

[Pacers]: TJ Ford, Dengtai Jones, Brandon Rush, Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert.

Warriors attack.

After holding the ball for halftime, Curry did not play a pick-and-roll with the team inside.

"OMG!"

"Stephen is doing a high pick-and-roll with Qin at this time?"

"Does this work?"

"Qin, although he is 201cm, he is an outside player after all. What's the difference between his pick-and-roll quality and paper ones?"

TNT live commentator Kenny Smith exclaimed with some doubts.

But next second.
Dengtai Jones, who defended Stephen Curry, was directly hung up.

Pacers striker Brandon Rush, who was facing Qin Dong, didn't even react, and saw Stephen Curry make a three-pointer.

"Shua!"
Basketball hollow into the net.

The score came to 23:13.

All of a sudden, the Warriors fans who had been beaten by the Pacers before the timeout suddenly cheered up.

In the TNT live broadcast room, Charles Barkley's sneer and Kenny Smith were stunned.

The quality of the pick-and-roll that Qin Dong showed just now is comparable to some power forwards.

But the problem is
Qin Dong has a good catch and shoot ability.

This made the opposing Brandon Rush not dare to relax at all, and stared at Qin Dong the whole time.

Although Qin Dong's understanding of the pick-and-roll is not top-notch, it is definitely not at the level of real intelligence.

Soon, the two performed a water hook pick-and-roll again.

First, he ran out of the ball without the ball, and Stephen Curry, who received a pass from Beverly, dribbled to a high position.

Qin Dong stepped forward to pick and roll.

This time, Qin Dong didn't hang Deng Tai-Jones completely.

Because of his keen spotting, Brandon Rush made a position to switch defenses with Dengtay Jones.

To put it bluntly, the defensive focus is all on Stephen Curry.

Then Qin Dong shot out directly.

After Stephen Curry saw Qin Dong running into the open space, he immediately played the ball.

Qin Dong catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer!

"oh"

"Dear Mr. Kenny, I suggest that you should see an ophthalmologist soon."

Charles Barkley smiled mockingly after seeing Qin Dong hit a beautiful three-pointer.

"Indian needs to adjust the defensive strategy, and can no longer let these two rookies score easily." Kenny - Smith said.

This pick-and-roll at positions 1-3 really caught the Pacers by surprise.

This made the Pacers coach anxious.

During the Warriors' offensive session, seeing the water hook combination pick and roll again, he couldn't bear it anymore, rushed to the side of the court and shouted: "TJ, stop him for me."

TJ Ford, who was defending Beverly, went directly to make up for Qin Dong.

The Pacers' defensive communication and tactical literacy are very good. After all, since the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, Danny Granger has dragged the team out of the dark abyss step by step.

Facing a small guard who is only 183cm tall, Qin Dong can give him an in-your-face after he catches the ball and takes off.

But if he came before the jump, it would affect Qin Dong's shooting rhythm.

but
The opponent is short in stature, plus, now Qin Dong's [Long-distance shooting] has increased from [70] when he just entered the league to [81].

With his seasoned defensive experience, TJ Ford interfered with Qin Dong's shooting rhythm, but not much.
"when!"

"when!"

"when!"

The basketball bounced a few times on the rim and fell into the rim.

TJ Ford was slapped in-your-face by Qin Dong.

But unfortunately.
Qin Dong stepped on the three-point line and only scored 2 points.

After the timeout, the water hook pick and roll played an offensive climax.

The defensive end is also remarkable.

The first quarter lasted 9 minutes and 59 seconds.

The following dog, Beverly, kept biting TJ Ford.

TJ Fu entered the league faster than Allen Iverson.

It's a pity that due to injuries, the speed has been compromised, but it is still in the league's T1 gear.

Beverley is exhausted in chasing and biting TJ Ford.

Qin Dong likes Beverly, even if a dog passes by him, he would like to dig it out.

As a short guard who has been in the league for many years, it is not easy to break one-on-one for life.

But Beverley can make him uncomfortable dribbling, uncomfortable passing
Danny Granger comes out to catch the ball.

Qin Dong, who has a very high golf quotient, keenly discovered that Danny Granger's running position is very serious after n times of fighting.

Qin Dong, who predicted Danny Granger's running route, arrived almost the moment Danny Granger received the ball.

Qin Dong's quick physical strength disrupted Danny Granger's shooting rhythm.

Danny Granger's height, wingspan, athletic ability and extremely fast release speed make it difficult for him to be blocked, and Danny Granger can also hit some irregular shots.

In the words of the black basket.
It's an indeterminate shot.

Of course, it's not that exaggerated.
Danny Granger didn't shoot against Qin Dong, who has a wingspan of 218cm.

Seeing Qin Dong posting it, Granger leaned against Qin Dong with his strong body and turned around, squeezing Qin Dong directly behind him.

Qin Dong was bullied by his opponent again.

But luckily it's fast enough.

Cover Granger all the way.

Granger made a sudden jerk and pulled back.

"Oops!" Qin Dong looked at Granger who didn't shoot immediately, and thought something was wrong in his heart.

With Granger's ability, he can quickly complete the pull-up jump shot.

But he didn't do that.
He is waiting.

Waiting for himself, and the Warriors starting center Biedrins, who was wrestling with Hibbert under the basket, all rushed towards him.

His real purpose is to pass the ball to his teammate Roy Hibbert at the basket.

Qin Dong found that Biedrins had his back to Hibbert and rushed towards Granger, thinking to himself that it was too late and it was too late to remind him.

Qin Dong simply rushed directly to Hei Yuanyuan who caught the ball.
