Chapter 46
Forty-four: My arsenal is not without ev
Stephen Cole sits in the third row in the middle of the court. This seat is the closest to the court and has the best sight line to dominate the whole situation.
He just saw the whole process of Snoopy’s jump ball beating Robin Lopez, and he also saw Westbrook rushing into the Stanford penalty area to complete a violent kick.
These two players of similar height demonstrated their physical fitness in completely different ways.
But he was not moved by it.
As the general manager of the Suns, he knows better than anyone the position that the team needs the most reinforcement at present, and they don’t have a lottery pick in their hands. The Phoenix Suns are a playoff team, and the best pick they can get is the 15th overall pick.
At this pick, he has only one choice on the court: Robin Lopez.
The other two centers Brook Lopez and Kevin Love are solid lottery shows. They will never fall out of the top 14 or even the top ten.
Robin Lopez is the exact opposite of his brother’s technical style. Brook Lopez is better at offense, while Robin Lopez is a complete defensive player. It is the best thing to use him to partner with the team’s Stoudemire. After all, before that, the Bully had negotiated with the management several times, and he was quite dissatisfied with his current shot rights.
So, his eyes were fixed on Robin Lopez.
At this time, Robin Lopez is wrestling with the puppy on the edge of the paint area.
He looked a little dumbfounded.
“What are the two defensive players doing with this effort?”
Stephen Cole was very puzzled.
Similarly, Robin Lopez also found it inexplicable.
“Hey, kid. Are you showing your positive attitude? Don’t tell me you want to use this to impress the scouts on the sidelines.”
Robin thought this little man was ridiculous: “Do you still want to enter the NBA?”
The puppy said nothing, but stuck his chassis.
Robin Lopez’s lower limb strength is considered strong in the NCAA, but he encountered a puppy. The puppy locked his way firmly.
And he doesn’t have flexible steps, his huge body can’t make a beautiful escape.
So, he can only stand in a stalemate outside the paint area.
At this time, Stanford shooting guard Morris made a jumper from 16 feet…Boom!
The basketball missed a hit. Robin Lopez tried to rush.
However, the puppy had stuck him behind him a long time ago, and he could not enter the penalty area for half a step.
Kevin Love protects the backboard very easily.
“Smart defender.”
Michael Jordan and Bill Walton reached an agreement on this issue. The difference is that Jordan told the senior vice president Kahner next to him, while Bill Walton told the audience watching the game in the United States: “Snoopy stopped Los The rendezvous of the Pace brothers allowed Stanford to have only one seven-foot center in the penalty area. This is a defense that is completely isolated from the data. Kevin Love should thank him!”
Stephen Cole suddenly flashed a thought in his head at this time: If this Chinese player appeared in Phoenix, Stoudemire would love him very much. He will do all the dirty work, and Stoudemire only needs to easily cut 30+20 per game.
However, this idea just passed by. After all, the NBA is very different from the NCAA. The puppy can hold Robin Lopez, but he may block Tyson Chandler, Kentrick Perkins, Kenyon Martin, Eric Dampier and other heavy centers or flexible centers. ? As for Dwight Howard, Yao Xuan, Tim Duncan and other BUG-level figures, let alone.
So, he just shook his head. At least for now, the puppy hasn’t impressed him yet. He prefers Robin Lopez, who was controlled in this round.
Easy side to fight again and came to the front court.
Robin Lopez walked towards Kevin Love for the first time. His defense was better than his brother, and he was very conscious of defending arrow characters.
As for the inability to attack the puppy, he was not included in Stanford’s defensive plan.
After Russell Westbrook fell into position, he looked a little hard.
He is still learning how to slow down and control the rhythm of play.
After observing the position of his teammates, he chose to play singles. Outside the three-point line, he shredded the Stanford point guard’s defense with a high-speed change of direction, and then slammed into the paint. But as soon as he entered, Brook Lopez’s huge body was blocked in front of the basket. He hurriedly stopped, and then threw the shot…Bang!
Basketball strikes iron.
The puppy tried to rush for a rebound, but was picked up in advance by Brook Lopez, who was standing up to a height of 2.89 meters.
“This ball completely exposed Snoopy’s flaws. He has no height and no offensive ability. When Russell rushed into the penalty area to face the tall barrier, he could only choose to throw or pass the ball. Outside line.”
Draft expert Chatford said sharply: “Luke Barmott should be replaced now. His impact and long-range shooting ability is a weapon to restrain the Lopez brothers!”
Bill Walton believes that: “Snoopy is comfortable with mid-size and short insiders, but when he faces a big man over seven feet, his height disadvantage will be infinitely magnified. He must have more Only with multiple weapons can you gain a foothold on the court.”
Back on the defensive end, the puppy still blocked Robin Lopez’s way.
This time, Brook Lopez beat Kevin Love with a back single in the penalty area. He turned around and shot just right, and the hand felt as smooth as silk.
The goal-seeking Nets general manager Vandeweghe is both happy and palpitating. The happy reason is that he has preferred Brook Lopez to become Vince Carter’s inside helper. The reason for the palpitations is that he graduated from, he is an old senior.
The Bruins’ offense was once again stalled. The current situation is that facing two seven-footers, it is difficult for Westbrook to get into the paint to score points.
And their center Kevin Love is not good at attacking in the low post. He is a space-based power forward. His face-to-face shooting is his skill. So… the system loses its most important link. At the same time, the DDM offensive system that showed great power in the previous two games also failed to open up the situation because of the inside line, resulting in an embarrassing situation where the outside could not form an empty space Five minutes later, Stanford established a 6-point lead.
Ben Holland asked for a timeout with a frustrated expression.
“The problem is that Snoopy has had a negative effect on the court. Now they should replace Luke Bamot. Although Bamot can’t block Robin Lopez like Snoopy, he can at least provide perimeter. Projection and good air-cutting efficiency.”
Chatford said from the commentary.
His statement is in line with most people’s thinking.
‘S teaching assistant team also meant this, which made Ben Holland had to make a change. If you still use the puppies arbitrarily, the price after losing is to be caught by the assistant Cole and take the opportunity to attack. Coupled with the shouting of the people like Bill Walton outside, you will definitely lose this job.
“Listen, Snoopy, you should go back to find your ‘fuzzy guy’, the court is not for you.”
“Also, give up your ridiculous NBA dream. You just tried your best to defend me for so long, what effect did you do? Waiting for you is still the cold bench.”
Robin Lopez didn’t forget to stimulate him when the puppy was off the court.
Because the puppy really made him very uncomfortable just now, he must find his place in words.
The puppy ignored him and walked directly to the bench. He told the coach: “Mr. Holland, I have a way to deal with the two brothers. It’s not that there is nothing in my arsenal.”
