Chapter 411 Fancy Show Dry Pulling (Part 1)
This is something everyone recognizes.
But this is wrong!
Isn't Tang Tian a 3D player?
This is a change of team and style of play?
It's so magical!
But there wasn't much time left for the Rockets to buffer. After Tang Tian made a three-threat, he shot again suddenly.
Parsons was prepared this time, but he still couldn't keep up with Tang Tian's pace.
"Shua!"
Tang Tian jumped high, the timing was perfect, and the picturesque shot hit the net again!
McHale was stunned.
Is this Tang Tian's dry drawing so accurate?
McGrady was overjoyed in the auditorium at this time.
Tang Tian's dry posture and completeness really look like he was at his peak!
Many people's understanding of McGrady is contradictory, because McGrady is highly talented, and his dry pull seems unsolvable.
But looking at the data, the hit rate is just over 43%, which is even better than Kobe.
Two established things collided, and neither seemed to make sense.
The truth is that McGrady's dry pull is really incomprehensible, and even the ease that everyone sees is true.
McGrady's low shooting rate has a lot to do with his own choice.
McGrady always likes to shoot three-pointers, and prefers to shoot hard against people.
This style of play is no different from Kobe, but McGrady is not as diligent as Kobe, so his shooting rate is very low.
But Tang Tian is not McGrady, and he doesn't need to imitate McGrady to play. What he needs and has done is to adapt to this skill and then play it out.
The Rockets attacked in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian interfered with Parsons' pick-and-roll and missed a three-pointer.
Davis grabs the defensive rebound.
Although his size is still thin, he has a great advantage against a center like Asik.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and after Gordon got the ball, he passed the ball to Tang Tian!
Pelicans, tonight's opening is going to beat Tang Tian to death!
"Stick it! Stick it!"
McHale had already started shouting in the scene at this time.
Tang Tian has already made 2 shots in a row. If he makes another shot, this is really intolerable.
Parsons was decisive at this time.
Tang Tian was holding the ball, but there was no room for him to pull directly after Parsons was close to him.
It seems that if you have a chance in the future, you have to exchange for a melon three threats.
But he didn't kill the ball, and pressed forward for Parsons' dry pull fake to collect the ball.
Parsons rushed forward, he swayed a shot, and directly changed his right foot into a power foot, squeezed past Parsons with one step, and then pulled out his hand dryly.
Parsons didn't have time to get back, and after turning around slowly, he could only watch Tang Tian make a move.
"Shua!"
Tang Tian's third shot, it went in!
crazy!
Many fans at the scene were excited.
In this era when the small ball is about to set off, Tang Tian's uprightness is simply a breath of fresh air!
And the key is handsome! Accurate again!
But it's not right!
They are obviously home fans, and Tang Tian is a player of the visiting team!
McHale called a timeout directly.
"Coach Williams really gave the Rockets a surprise gift."
Brin couldn't help laughing in the commentary booth.
Tang Tian missed a preseason game, and he had never attacked with the ball in the first two seasons of his career. In the opening game, Parsons succeeded in three consecutive singles.
It was truly a surprise, even a shocking gift.
McHale was so frightened that he called a timeout less than three minutes into the game.
"I don't know how he did it, it's kind of unbelievable, but he seems to really have the ability to score on his own now."
It was only at this time that Miller came to his senses. When he said this, his expression was a wry smile.
As a retired star, he knows too well how difficult it is to have a skill that can kill opponents. He has only scored three points in his entire career.
But Tang Tian, who had a three-pointer before, now has a dry pull.
"I think the Spurs management may be the most uncomfortable right now." Brin said.
Miller nodded and laughed at what Brin said.
Although it was not made public, anyone could guess that the Spurs gave up on Tang Tian because he was a role player.
But now, Tang Tian showed his ability to attack independently at the beginning of the Pelicans' first game.
This... I really can't imagine what Spurs owner Holt will feel in his heart.
Back from the timeout, Harden's pick-and-roll breakthrough in the frontcourt caused Anderson's thugs. After making two free throws, he finally broke the scoring drought for the Rockets.
Looking back, Parsons was close to Tang Tian at this time and did not give Tang Tian a chance to catch the ball.
Tang Tian didn't forcefully ask for the ball, but signaled Davis to make him an off-ball pick-and-roll.
Davis has a good temper, he is almost responsive to whatever his teammates call him, and the quality of the pick-and-roll is also high, blocking Parsons to death.
Holiday's pass was a bit slow, but after Tang Tian received the ball, he still misplaced and met Asik.
With a false pull, Asik was slow and wanted to pounce, but he didn't pounce completely when he thought of the ball that Parsons was swung before.
Tang Tian made another move for the second time, and it was the iconic scissor-leg dry pull again.
Asik's flutter was slow, and the interference he gave was limited.
"boom!"
Tang Tian's ball hit the back edge of the basket, but it still rolled in!
The high-intensity training in the training camp for more than a month is not for nothing!
Moreover, Tang Tian's choice was obviously much more reasonable than McGrady's. Almost every shot he made was an opportunity!
McHale's expression was a little stiff at this moment.
The operation of the Pelicans is really unreasonable!
And this Tang Tian's intervention really caught the Rockets off guard.
Even though he had already deployed targeted defenses just now, it seemed that Tang Tian didn't just know how to pull out on the spot!
And more importantly, Tang Tian can read defense!
Before, because it was 3D, there was still an upper limit to the lethality. Now that it has the ability to attack independently, the lethality is very terrifying.
Jones succeeded in frontcourt singles and Anderson continued to score for the Rockets.
The score on the court was 4-8.
Looking back, Parsons all circled forward and did not give Tang Tian a chance to catch the ball with his back.
After his weight dropped, his defensive flexibility was indeed much better than last season.
Gordon scored a point from Anderson, and Anderson hit a three-pointer.
After Tang Tian got off to a smooth start, the entire Pelicans team seemed to be in good shape.
Looking back, Jones singled Anderson and caused the latter to make free throws. He made two free throws and added points for the Rockets.
Anderson's three-point shooting is excellent, but the defensive end is a problem.
Parsons was still close to Tang Tian in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian started running without the ball at this time.
Calling Davis' pick-and-roll, Parsons squeezes through.
But Anderson's consecutive pick-and-rolls kept up.
Williams said that Tang Tian was the main attacker at the beginning, so there was a tactical deployment!
Holiday's pass was fairly timely this time, and Tang Tian directly caught the ball and pulled it out.
Jones' defensive awareness was poor, and he jumped obviously late.
"Shua!"
The basketball hit the net again.
The pose is picturesque!
After Tang Tian started the game, he hit all 5 consecutive pull-ups and scored 10 points in a row!
His hands are hot!
And do it on the spot, move it one step and do it, catch the ball and do it...
He is in front of the Rockets, the former owner of Tracy McGrady, showing off his skills!
ps: You can go to the video of Maddie Ganba to reminisce about it, maybe it will make you feel better after reading the book.
