Chapter 454 Wilkins suddenly enlightened
Updated: 2012-10-16
Skeles is a coach who is very good at coaching players. He can combine any lineup of players with different styles into a whole, but he is not better than Carlesimo for on-the-spot command of the game.
After Willskin's first offense was easy to score, the Bulls' offense passed from outside to inside, from inside to outside, and from inside to outside, but did not find a chance to take action. After Wilkins came on the court, Stephen took the initiative to exchange defense targets with him and let him come to defend Ben Gordon, and Stephen went to defend Roll Deng.
With the combination of strength, speed and bounce, Stephen can defend players from 1.9 meters to 2.10 meters without considering the type and technical characteristics of the player. But Wilkins is not good. His height is a little shorter than Stephen and his strength is also very strong. Although Bounce is not as good as his uncle "Essence of Human Movies" Dominic Wilkins, it is not bad either.
However, although Rollden is not very strong in power confrontation, he is still tall after all. At the same time, his technical characteristics are more delicate, and Wilkins is not suitable to come to defend him, so Stephen took the initiative to change over. Stephen can make the decision on any changes on the court, and he does not need to obtain the consent of Carlesimo.
Stephen is one of the three "privileged players" in the league this season. The other two are LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers. They have an equal or even more than the head coach and have 100% freedom on the court, so Stephen's actions are normal in the eyes of Calesimo.
Under Stephen's defense, Roll Deng dribbled from one side of the court to the other, but he couldn't find a phone call. Joe Smith came up to provide him with a cover, but even so, Roll Deng only gained a little space, and Stephen quickly bypassed Joe Smith and came back to him.
Seeing that the attack was getting less and less, Rollden felt a little anxious. He shook his shoulders and suddenly tilted to the right. He raised his hand and jumped to take action. Just when he thought he had avoided Stephen's defense, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of the ball and grabbed the ball.
As soon as his feet landed, Stephen passed the ball and prepared to start and get off at Deronti West, then took a step and ran wildly. Rollden followed Stephen tightly, and Wilkins on the other side also advanced with Ben Gordon.
Hinrich was faster than Deronti West, so when Deronti West was just one step away from entering the three-second zone, he chased him to the side and reached out to grab the ball in Wades's hand. West noticed Hinrich's sneak attack, but Hinrich was too fast, so he had to stop and protect the ball in his hand.
However, in this way, he also lost the opportunity to get a fast break. Seeing Stephen and Wilkins running from both sides, although it was easier to pass the ball to Wilkins, West still passed the ball to Stephen. Hinrich immediately let West go and moved to Stephen's front to prevent Stephen from approaching the basket.
West immediately ran to the basket, Stephen slowed down, as if he was going to pass the ball to West. Ben Gordon immediately abandoned Wilkins, accelerated his pace, and defended West. Who knew that as soon as he relaxed, Stephen dunked his hand and the ball came to Wilkins's hand.
Wilkins broke through and stopped, then jumped up with an unusually standard posture, straightened his body, raised his hands above his head, and threw the ball towards the basket at two steps across the three-point line. This was a very standard emergency stop jump shot. Wilkins rarely had such scoring methods in the past, and he didn't know what happened recently, as if he had suddenly opened up.
Wilkins' shooting was very smooth and flew into the basket, which was very surprising. He just came on the court and scored four points with just the second touch. The scoring efficiency was too high. Even fans felt that it was necessary to curb Wilkinkins, but Skeles still allowed the players to stick to their defensive style.
"No matter how he scores, he will never be able to score more than 70 points, but Stephen is different. As long as he dares to relax, he may change the situation of the game." This is Skeles' strategy for this game, but Wilkins' performance today obviously exceeded his expectations.
Wilkins was surrounded by Ben Gordon, and Hinrich ran past him with the ball. Wilkins suddenly attacked Hinrich. Although Hinrich failed to make Wilkins succeed, his speed slowed down. At this time, Deronti West chased after him and stopped Hinrich.
Four more rounds passed, and in these four rounds, Wilkins scored another five points, two free throws and a three-pointer, as well as a rebound and a block. During this period, he became the best player on the court.
At the same time, his three-pointer also surpassed the score. Otherwise, Skeles had just wanted to adjust the team's defense, and Stephen scored four points, which dispelled his idea. When Wilkins made another shot outside the three-point line, Skeles knew that it would be impossible not to adjust.
After feeling the opponent's relaxation in defense, Stephen quickly seized the opportunity, scored six points in a row to widen the gap in the score to double digits. The Bulls were about to strengthen their defense against him, and he assisted Wilkins to score a dunk at the basket.
By the end of the first quarter, Wilkins had scored fourteen points, and his score was only two points less than Stephen. It was precisely through his score that he broke the Bulls' defense against Stephen and partially liberated Stephen. Then the two of them worked together to control the situation of the game in the hands of the Supersonics.
In the second quarter, the two were still on the court and replaced by other teammates, but the main players who scored were still the two of them. I don’t know what happened, but the other people in the Supersonics felt as if they had just taken it out of the refrigerator.
With the continuous three-pointers of Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordon, the Bulls caught the score to only five points. The two assisted each other and cooperated perfectly. At this time, Stephen did not show his ability in scoring more than the team's organizer, but cooperated like the other party.
Wilkins didn't know what was going on today. Not to mention the good feel, the more important thing is that he suddenly seemed to have a clue. He often seized opportunities and attacked the opponent's weak defense. Every time he ran and covered was very cooperative with Stephen's habit. If he wasn't saying that he was a very obvious black man, Stephen was a little doubtful if Ginobili suddenly changed to the Supersonics and became Stephen's teammate. This kind of harmonious feeling was rarely felt by other teammates.
Look, Stephen just inserted into the basket from the left side, and then popped out from the right side. Within and out, it attracted the defensive attention of four opponents. At this time, Stephen was moving forward and suddenly passed the ball behind him. At some point, Wilkins ran to the bottom of the basket, received Stephen's pass and dunked the ball into the basket.
When he attacked again, Stephen was drilling around the basket again, stirring the Bulls' defense at the basket into a ball, but when he came out of the bag, he passed the ball to the weak side. The ball flew through most of the half and landed in the hand of Wilkins, who had just stopped at the bottom corner three-pointer.
Although Wilkins did not make this ball, his shot attracted the attention of most people and created an opportunity for Stephen's sneak attack under the basket. As soon as the ball popped out, Stephen flew over and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand.
This kind of cooperation is not often felt, so Stephen seized this opportunity and struck while the iron was hot to widen the gap in the score again. Skeles adjusted several times but could not break the cooperation between the two of them, but instead disrupted his team's offense.
After the Bulls replaced Kirksinridge, they replaced Chris Duhon. The Supersonics also made adjustments and replaced Deronti West with Ridno. Caresimo still believed in this guy more. Ridno did not disappoint him. He took the lead in an extremely exquisite cooperation just after he came on the court. In the end, Stephen attacked under the basket and got two free throws.
After 11 points in the first quarter, Wilkins scored another eight points in the second quarter, nineteen points in the half, and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the last attack in the first half, expanding the advantage of the score to twenty.
When he ended up, Wilkins looked different from before, and he was full of confidence. Although this excellent performance was not the first time for him, the significance of this time was particularly different. Stephen did not feel anything about the improvement and changes of his teammates, but the others felt the threat, and the two of them were Durant and Szebiac.
Especially Szebiak, he did not actively seek opportunities when he was on the court. The main reason was that he saw that his team was lagging behind at that time and felt that there would be no change when he went up, but now he regretted it. If he had been on the court, he might have been so glorious now.
The threat Durant felt was a threat in playing time. He was replaced so early and has not played until now. This rarely happened before. This was a game or half-time game. But what should I do if I keep doing this?
Judging from his performance in this half, Wilkins is far beyond his own performance. He has never performed like this. It turns out that Durant has always thought he was the best choice for the team's No. 2 character, but now he suddenly feels that this position is not solid.
