The Pope of Basketball Community

In the commentary box, Barkley put his head in his hands and leaned back, his mouth opened in an O shape.

Smith shouted: "Wonderful dunk. The Wizards also selected a dunk king-level player this year. It reminds me of Sean Kemp in his peak period."

Green Army coach O'Brien was also surprised. After reading the information given by the scout before the game, he knew that Stoudemire was very physically fit, but he never thought that he was so explosive and had both strength, speed and jumping.

Stoudemire had some reservations in the preseason. In the opening game, for the sake of performance, he used all his strength on the ball, and the rim was almost bent by him.

The Celtics attacked, Delk passed the ball to Pierce, and the people guarding him were Jordan, Marshall and Walker, and Hamilton defended Williams on the baseline.

The Wizards used a man-to-man defense strategy in the opening game instead of the 122 zone defense often practiced in training camps.

This is based on the characteristics of the Green Army. The 122 zone defense is mainly to limit breakthroughs. The point guard will get into the crowd after the high pick-and-roll, but Delk's breakthrough is nothing special. The Celtics' offensive strengths lie in the wings and corners. Four players on the field Individuals can shoot three-pointers, which is the weakness of the 122 zone defense.

It was Jordan's request to defend Pierce. He was confident of suppressing his opponents.

Pierce faced the frame and assumed a triple-threat posture. After probing, he broke through from the right and was accurately followed by Jordan's prediction. He protected the ball with his back, leaned on Jordan and turned around to shoot from the baseline. His movements were very smooth, but Jordan's judgment was very accurate. He jumped to interfere and the ball missed the basket.

Marshall grabbed the rebound and handed it to Wesley to hold on to.

Wesley has played shooting guard for many seasons, but he is experienced and knows how to play a point guard and can use his skills and strength to protect the basketball.

Bringing it to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Jordan again.

If it were last season, Jordan would definitely choose to challenge Pierce alone. Yang Rui specifically told him before the game not to force the game, because the shooting rate was too low, which was not conducive to the team's integration. Now there are three new players in the starting lineup.

When the team is not good, Jordan will step in by himself. Now he has seen hope and is willing to pass the ball.

Hamilton started to run, and he cooperated just like before. This time Stoudemire's screen was of average quality and was bypassed by Williams. Hamilton went into the basket but didn't catch the pass, then went around and Marshall took the second block.

Although Marshall is thin, he has rich experience in the game and grasps the pick-and-roll timing very well. Hamilton bypassed the penalty area at 45 degrees and instantly got rid of the defensive player. At this time, Jordan's pass was delivered, and Hamilton caught the ball and made an emergency stop.

The shot is extremely fast and hits cleanly. 4 to 0.

His movements were very light and his release point was high. Walker was slow to change defense.

Jordan sent the second assist. The two worked very well together last season. Most of Jordan's assists went to Hamilton.

The Celtics attacked, and Pierce once again caught the ball and took a one-on-one challenge. He took a step to the right first, relied on Jordan to turn around with a big stride, but still couldn't get rid of it.

Pierce has outstanding skills and is called an offensive kaleidoscope, but Jordan is also such a person and knows how to defend. Jordan has been selected to the All-Defensive First Team 9 times, and he is not afraid of technical players now. The young stars who beat him are not relying on tricks, but having an extremely quick first step.

Seeing that there was serious interference, Pierce chose to pass the ball to the outside. Walker had no chance to make a direct shot, and he could not pass Marshall who moved faster laterally when changing directions with the ball, so he had to pass the ball again.

Seeing that 24 seconds had run out, Williams faced interference from Hamilton and missed a jump shot. Stoudemire easily protected the backcourt rebound.

The Wizards once again fell into position to fight. In Yang Rui's new tactical system, Jordan's presence and absence are completely two different ways of playing. Because Jordan is not suitable for fast breaks, positional warfare is more effective.

The Wizards attacked, Jordan organized in the middle, Hamilton's running route was exactly the same as the previous two times, and the Celtics players kept up this time.

Hamilton also didn't stick to the ball and couldn't pass it out immediately to Jordan who was receiving the ball. At this time, Wesley started running again, covering Stoudemire without the ball from the right corner, and ran to 70 degrees on the right side.

This is the first running route in the information Yang Rui gave to Wesley in the training camp. Stoudemire's block was perfect because Yang Rui said that Hamilton would run for Wesley after three runs. Next, he should cover for Wesley, so he was fully prepared.

Jordan had broad vision and passed the ball selflessly. After seeing Stoudemire's athletic ability, Batty did not switch defenses because he was worried about Stoudemire's empty cut. This cannot be said to be wrong, because Walker was evacuated from the basket by Marshall and could not retreat in time to defend the penalty area.

Delk was slow to pursue the defense, and Wesley caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. The rhythm was perfect, and the ball went hollow into the net. 7 to 0.

Smith said in surprise: "Jerry Young has just joined, and the Wizards have the shadow of the Raptors. The two screens cooperated beautifully, and Jordan sent three assists in a row."

Barkley lamented: "If the Celtics can't switch defenses well, it will be difficult to win today. What Jerry Young is best at is arranging off-ball screens and pick-and-rolls, and finding someone to organize in the middle. During the Raptors era, it was Miller, Carter, and Tracy McGrady. , now it’s Michael.”

When the Celtics attacked, Delk and Batty played a pick-and-roll breakthrough. Stoudemire's weakness was revealed. He had poor awareness of switching defenses and allowed Delk to pass by him with the ball and score an easy layup. 7 to 2.

The Wizards attacked and the two defenders started running again. Hamilton was full of energy and would not be idle even if no one was covering him. This is the difference between him and Wesley. Wesley relied on Stoudemire's off-ball screen on the right to escape and received a pass from Jordan.

This time Batty changed defense in time, and Stoudemire made a cut and easily squeezed out Delk. Wesley took the ball and took two quick steps toward the center. He threw the ball towards the basket with a little space. Stoudemire jumped up high, his head almost level with the frame, and pushed the ball into the basket with a one-handed alley-oop with his right hand.

This is another slam dunk performance that can hit the top five goals! 9 to 2.

After discussion, the Wizards coaching staff unanimously agreed to let Stoudemire serve as the starting center. Everyone can tolerate the defensive gap because he is so good on the offensive end. As long as his teammates pass him the ball, he can score steadily.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Stoudemire's scoring efficiency was higher than Yao Ming. In his second season with the Suns, he scored 20.6 points and 9 rebounds in 36.8 minutes. After the point guard was replaced by Steve Nash in the 2004-2005 season, he averaged 36 minutes per game, 26 points and 8.9 rebounds, averaged only 16.7 shots per game, and shot 55.9% from the field.

In subsequent seasons with the Suns, Stoudemire never averaged more than 15.5 shots per game, easily scoring 20+. In the season before the Knicks were seriously injured, he averaged 25.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Once he rushes into the penalty area, he can't score due to his physical fitness and it is easy to cause fouls.

Yang Rui didn't need to fumble, and directly arranged a cover and air-cutting tactic suitable for Stoudemire.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Suns' first season, Frank Johnson spent a lot of time letting Stoudemire practice his back, even though Stoudemire's back was not wide enough and he was obviously at a disadvantage in strong play. Then let him be a power forward and partner with Tsakalidis, and he will be terrible on the defensive end.

So Frank was quickly fired from the Suns and never found a job again. He doesn't care what skills the players are suitable for or whether they can master them. He just follows his own ideas and thinks that everything he thinks is right. He is really a sufferer of the second disease. If Ben Wallace fell into his hands, he would probably have to play power forward, but he would soon be dismissed as a waste due to his failure to develop offensive skills.

The Celtics attacked, Delk picked and rolled in the middle, Stoudemire defended the breakthrough but not the shot, and retreated deeper. Delk made a jump shot inside the three-point line. 9 to 4.

When the Wizards attacked, Wesley looked for cover and ran again. Jordan grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched it to the right, attracting Pierce's attention. Suddenly he started in the middle, changed direction with the ball, and succeeded in a one-step pass.

This was Jordan's signature move. His hands were so big that he could fake a basketball while holding it with one hand. Pierce was fooled.

The Celtics' inside line was pulled out of the basket, and no one was available to defend. Jordan dunked the basketball with one hand and scored. 11 to 4.

The fans cheered louder, Jordan can still fly this season!
