Chapter 475 Arenas' Provocation and Magical Arc!
The Wizards' unlimited defense is very strong!
In front of the Seattle Supersonics' bench, Old Nelson was constantly explaining tactics to the Supersonics players, while Yees was listening, but his gaze was always on the other side.
This is the first time he has encountered such a peculiar defense in the NBA.
No matter how he runs, the defenders in front of him can always match him.
No matter how he picks and rolls, the defender in front of him can always guard him.
Both defensive strength and defensive speed are quite amazing.
The defensive strength given to him is also quite large.
Even though his current three-point shooting attribute is already 80, and his balance attribute is already 80, he dare not pull up and shoot casually outside the three-point line.
Generally speaking, in the NBA, no matter how well the defensive players in front of him defend, they will give him a certain amount of space.
He can find space for his shot with his off-ball movement and ball handling.
There may be very little room for shooting, but at least there is room for shooting.
But in this game tonight, the Wizards gave him very little space, or even none.
He couldn't use his strength to push away Arenas Butler or Sun Yue and pull up to shoot.
Every time he pulls up, he will meet Arenas Butler or Sun Yue's confrontation.
With his current confrontation ability, unless he has the Westbrook five-star card all the time, he will not be able to win against these three.
Even with Westbrook's five-star card, he doesn't have much advantage in confrontation.
Arenas and Butler are strong players in the NBA. Sun Yue has made great progress in the past six months.
So old that Ye Si didn't even know him anymore!
With a height of 2.05 meters, this year's rookie is second only to Aaron Brooks in speed.
Sun Yue's physical fitness was developed very well by Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan in the Wizards.
Sun Yue's offensive awareness is quite bad,
But his awareness on defense is really good.
Sun Yue's progress in the past six months is mainly reflected in the defensive end.
It is worthy of being a member of the show-time era, a teammate of the magician, and a disciple of Pat Riley.
It is really admirable to be able to use Sun Yue's defense so appropriately.
Facing a defense like the Wizards', Ye Si didn't dare to force a shot against their confrontation.
Arenas, Butler and Sun Yue, their counterattack speed is too fast.
Also fast are the two so-called insiders of the Wizards, Haywood and Antawn Jamison.
Facing such a team, he needs patience and the patience to find opportunities.
The old coach Nelson is still lecturing the Sonics.
Ye Si withdrew his gaze from the Wizards, and looked down at the constantly beating touch value.
43...51...58...51...65...
Tonight's beating touch has a minimum of 40 or more, and he has a great chance to wait for the opportunity he wants.
"Guys, the game is just starting now, don't be influenced by your opponent, infinite switching is powerful, but not that powerful, KD, you need more shots in this game, yes, you, you can continue as you want way to play.”
"I know."
Jess nodded seriously.
Seeing Ye Si like this, Old Nelson smiled and nodded.
He was very happy that Yes could still remain calm and calm in the face of such a strange defensive tactics of the Wizards.
You must know that this peculiar tactic of the Wizards was specially made for Yes!
Unlimited defense changes!
There are really not many ordinary people who can be as indifferent as Yes after seeing the peculiarity and power of this tactic.
Otherwise, he would not have requested a timeout in such a short time.
Yes Is there a way to break the Wizards' infinite defense?
That's why you're so indifferent?
Old Nelson didn't know very well, but he was looking forward to it!
"Wizards are strong!"
"This year's Eastern Conference team is not as weak as expected!"
Washington DC, in the hotel where the Houston Rockets stayed.
Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Roy and other Rockets players are seriously watching the game between the Sonics and the Wizards.
On January 7, the Wizards played against the Sonics at home.
The Wizards will host the Rockets back-to-back on January 8.
Not long ago, the Rockets just had a hard time beating the Boston Celtics.
After the Boston Celtics had no point guard, Ray Allen, Pierce, and Garnett frantically picked and rolled on the offensive end, and their frantic moves on the defensive end nearly capsized the Rockets.
Although the Rockets finally won with a stronger bench, the strength of the Celtics is definitely worthy of respect.
The Boston Celtics are definitely not the king of the monkey mountain, but the real tiger, the real king of the hill!
In just less than two minutes, they can also feel that the strength of the Wizards should never be underestimated because they are an Eastern team.
Even if they hide the infinite switch tactics, they are the only team in the league to beat the Suns head-on.
The Rockets haven't beaten the Suns head-on so far this season.
"Yes is very cautious in the choice of offense under the Wizards' infinite switch defense, but this is normal. According to the Sanders index, the Wizards use infinite switch defense against Yes, and the defensive pressure on Yes has reached about 25%. Such a defense Intensity, before you are fully familiar with it, caution is a must."
Adelman thought for a while and said seriously.
The idea of this unlimited defense change tactic specially formulated by the Wizards for Yes is worth learning by the Rockets.
The Wizards' idea of making this unlimited defense change for Yes is that Yes' height is only 1.95 meters!
If Yes had Jordan's height and wingspan, the Wizards' defensive strength against Yes' infinite switches would not be 25% but 35%!
Facing the same defense, 1.95 meters and 1.98 meters or 2.08 meters players are completely different.
A player with a height of 1.95 meters has an advantage over a player with a height of 1.95 meters.
A 1.98 meter player has an advantage over a 1.98 meter player.
The 2.08m player has the advantage of the 2.08m player.
The Wizards' unlimited defense is precisely to restrain those players who are 1.93 meters tall or have a wingspan of about 2.07 meters or less.
Arenas is 1.93 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.07 meters. He is the weakest point of this infinite defense.
Arenas has excellent other qualities in the unlimited defense, but his height and wingspan are flawed, and he did not meet the requirement of 2 meters.
If you can't use your height and wingspan to beat Arenas, but end up falling into the advantages of Arenas and forcing a shot, it is very uneconomical.
Even if Yes has such ability, it is not cost-effective.
Obviously, from the cautiousness of Yes's attack just now, he knows this himself.
It is not impossible for Yes to force a shot against Arenas and their confrontation, but he needs to be efficient enough.
Can Yes shoot after facing their confrontation, can he have the super high efficiency of beating the Wizards?
There is no way to expect something like hand feeling.
It can only be said that players like McGrady have an advantage when facing unlimited defense changes like the Wizards.
McGrady's height can give him a huge advantage when facing Arenas.
Unlimited switching is to try not to give a big dislocation advantage. Arenas will give McGrady a very large dislocation advantage. As long as Arenas cannot switch infinitely at this point, then the Wizards' unlimited switching tactics will naturally fail.
The Sonics actually have a player like McGrady.
It's a pity that Durant's confrontation is really bad.
A player of McGrady's height faces such unlimited defense changes. Because of his height advantage, the requirements for strength confrontation are not so harsh, but they can't be too bad.
Durant is too poor in confrontation.
This makes the Sonics really look helpless when facing the Wizards.
"We may really see Yes being humiliated by Arenas in this game!"
After Adelman finished speaking, Roy and Yao Ming frowned.
On the court, the timeout ended, and the two teams stood on the court again.
Back from the timeout, it's the Sonics' turn to attack.
Arenas, who switched to Ye Si's side, now has a rather excited expression on his face.
Eddie didn't lie to him, this secret weapon-like tactic is effective for Yes!
"Yes, it's useless. No matter how hard you look for opportunities, it's useless. In this game, your fate is in my control. Don't worry, I won't let you fall too far behind!"
"I, but I still have to wait to kill you!"
Of course Arenas will be noticed when he babbles on the court.
After all, the two are the focus on the court.
"Arenas is provoking Yes!"
Seeing Arenas like this, the Wizards fans at the scene cheered for Arenas like crazy.
Such a provocative Yes at his home court, this kind of thing was unimaginable in the Wizards last season.
The Wizards were heavily trained by Yes last season.
Yes is even the kind of invincible person in the minds of Wizards fans.
Especially after Yes played a horrible record in the Sonics this year.
Before the start of this game, the Wizards were more optimistic, but the Wizards fans were still very nervous.
After all, Yes hurt them too much last season.
What now?
No one really could have imagined that the Wizards have changed so much in the past two seasons.
"Arenas is provoking Yes, Arenas is continuing to provoke Yes, I hope Yes can not be fooled by Arenas!"
The more active Arenas is on the court, the more excited the Wizards fans will be, and the more worried Barkley will be on the sidelines.
Facing unlimited defense changes like the Wizards, will Yes mess around?
Does Yes know that his height is impossible to forcibly break this infinite defense like Jordan?
Does Yes know that he is now in a huge trap set for him by a wizard?
Barkley is very nervous now, this game has just begun!
But this is also normal. Arenas' declaration of lore to Yes in this game is indeed too threatening.
Like a sharp machete hanging over his head.
And don't think that Arenas humiliated Yes by killing Yes in this game.
In this game, if Arenas beat Yes to a tragedy, it would also be a huge humiliation!
It would be even more brutal if Yes had a tragedy in the first half, and then deliberately let Yes tie the score and kill Yes in the second half.
Ordinary people can never do such a thing.
But if this person is Arenas...
As a diehard coconut powder, Barkley is really sweating now.
He just hopes that Yes will not mess around now.
Now that the Wizards have come up with such a terrifying infinite switch against Yes, Yes basically has no possibility of winning this game.
The supersonic speed is the reliable point of Yes, and now Yes is greatly restricted, the supersonic speed can win.
Therefore, Barkley's requirements in this game are really not high.
Don't be lore, don't lose too badly, play tactics smoothly, and finish the game smoothly.
So, will Yes mess around?
"Yes, I didn't mess around!"
The Sonics came back from a timeout for the first wave of offense, facing the Wizards' infinite defense changes.
After receiving a pass from Rondo, Yees jumped up in the confrontation with Butler. Although he was stagnant in the air for a while, he did not make a shot and handed the basketball to Durant.
"Yes pass the ball, Durant attacks!"
Barkley yelled directly.
The roar was comparable to when Yees hit the shot before.
"Beautiful assist, Durant against the defense of Arenas, hit a three-pointer, 4 to 3!"
Shot by Durant?
Arenas couldn't believe it for the first time.
Arenas came back to his senses with a livid face until he saw the score change on the scoreboard.
He was really yanked by Durant!
What surprised Arenas even more was that in the face of the Wizards' unlimited defense changes, Durant actually had the power to fight back? !
Arenas and the Wizards players were a little surprised by Durant's three-pointer.
Barkley on the sidelines and many coconut powders in front of the TV were also shocked.
"If this game is facing the Wizards' unlimited defenses, Durant still has a shooting rate of about 40%. I will not black him this week!"
Barkley was delighted.
What made him even more happy was that in the next game, Yes was still not fooled by Arenas' provocation.
Barkley has now confirmed that the kid Arenas definitely intends to humiliate Yes with a big point difference in the first half, and humiliate Yes with a lore in the second half.
This kid's brain circuit is almost as 'simple' as him!
Yes's defense against Arias is excellent, Sun Yue's offensive threat is almost zero, and it is not easy for the rest of the Wizards to play against Milicic.
The Wizards would win if Yes didn't go crazy trying to break infinite switches, but winning won't be so arbitrary.
Unless Yes is crazy, Arenas can achieve all his ideas.
This kid Arenas is quite a chicken thief!
Fortunately, Yes was not fooled.
For most of the first quarter, although Yes did not directly attack, but driven by Yes, the Wizards played in line with Barkley's wishes.
Falling behind is falling behind, but it is definitely not humiliating.
At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards led by 3 points 28 to 25 at home.
Yes didn't take a shot in the first quarter, all of them were passes, and he sent 5 assists in the first quarter alone.
Among them, the Sonics scored the most points in the first quarter. Durant made 4 of 10 shots and scored 16 points.
With 10 seconds left in the first quarter, the SuperSonics had the ball.
Buckley breathed a sigh of relief.
Regardless of whether you can make it or not, as long as you follow this rhythm, Yes is worth it even if you don't have that consecutive 20+ record.
In such an influential game, being humiliated by Arenas with the hammer is definitely the worst thing.
On the last attack, Yes controlled the ball, and the first quarter was considered stable!
Barkley, who had been worried for a whole quarter, was finally relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.
Just at this moment, the smile on Barkley's face froze as soon as it appeared.
"Yes, you don't need to pass the ball like this, I said, this game will kill you, even if you don't pass the ball like this, I will help you catch up with us."
"Um?"
Yeston, who was in possession of the ball, paused for a moment.
Seeing that Yes, who had been ignoring him all the time, finally paid attention to Arenas, he was quite excited.
"You want to help us?"
"That's right!"
"unnecessary."
Will you be grateful to my uncle!
It's right to be grateful, then use a shot, a crazy shot to repay my uncle!
etc?
unnecessary?
Arenas thought he had heard wrong.
And when Arenas looked at Ye Si, the expression on Ye Si's face really didn't look like he was thanking him.
"Y..."
Just when Arenas was about to continue speaking, Ye Si jumped up under Arenas' surprised and incredulous eyes.
Yes to attack!
At this point in time, the Yes pass is a time-out error!
He will definitely make a move, and he can only make a move!
This is the last attack of the first quarter, and the defense has no practical significance, but the symbolic significance is too great.
That means Yes is finally fooled, finally pissed off by him!
Arenas almost used all his pent-up strength for this defensive confrontation with Ye Si!
The block was not blocked, but the defense was fully in place, this goal is impossible to score!
Arenas, who jumped and landed almost at the same time as Ye Si, was ready to see Ye Si's frustrated expression.
However, what surprised Arenas was that Ye Si, who fell from the sky at the same time as him, didn't have any frustrated expression on his face.
Doesn't he know how well he defended me this time?
This ball, Yes is impossible to hit!
"I'm capable of getting it myself."
What?
What did Yes just say?
I have the ability to get it by myself?
Arenas looked in surprise at Yes who turned and walked towards the sideline in front of him, with a dull expression on his face.
Not only Arenas, but also other people on the field and the Wizards fans on the sidelines were stunned.
Didn't Yes notice that the basketball is still flying in the air?
This is the end of the game early?
Is it because he already knew that the ball could not be hit under Arenas' extreme defense?
Thinking of this, the Wizards fans at the scene cheered even more frantically after a brief moment of surprise.
However, at this time, Arenas was not as optimistic as the Wizards fans at the scene.
Looking at the back without any hesitation, Arenas suddenly turned his head and looked at the basketball in the air.
That familiar arc...
Looking at the familiar arc, Arenas' pupils shrank rapidly.
Swipe!
The cheers like an explosion were crushed by a small sound of surfing the net!
The originally crazy arena instantly became extremely quiet.
Ye Si, who had already turned around early, could not see what was happening behind him.
But he could see the Wizards fans in front of him.
The various faces were filled with disbelief, horror and...fear.
"The ball, the ball went in?!"
Barkley stuttered in shock.
Soon, Yao Ming, Roy and the Rockets, who were stunned in front of the TV, heard Barkley's crazy roar from the TV.
magic……
magic!
Popovich opened his eyes wide, muttering to himself in a daze.
