The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

When Jokic, who was 2.13 meters tall, and Al Jefferson, who was 2.08 meters, stood together to jump the ball, the difference in height between the two was quite obvious.

Jefferson is not a spring man, so the gap in height makes him have no advantage in jumping the ball, easily overcome by Jokic.

The opening basketball fell to the Bucks side, Knight received the ball and ran through the half, then stopped a little in the top arc, then passed the basketball to Adetokounmpo who came out to catch the ball.

After Adetokounmpo received the ball, he stood and raised his arm slightly.

Seeing his gestures, the Bucks players quickly withdrew to the outside line, and even Jokic pulled out without exception, standing near the free throw line.

Al Jefferson hesitated a little at the sight, but followed.

In his perception, European big men are very good at shooting, and the distance of the free throw line does not affect their shooting percentage.

The same is true. Jokic's "shooting" range can also reach beyond the three-point line. Although the shooting rate is inferior to that of a super "shooter" like Nowitzki, it is also enough to attract defense.

So, Cody Zeller, who defended Adokunbo, stunned and followed him out of the perimeter, and then watched the opponent make a three-threat posture that the defender would only use.

Cody Zeller: "???

At the next moment, Adetokounmpo suddenly exerted force, and the whole person was as thunderous as a cheetah hunting. He passed Cody Zeller in one step, and then jumped off in two steps. A clean and sharp tomahawk dunk smashed the basketball. Hoop.

"boom--!"

The sound of the rim being slammed sounded, and the Bucks' home Bradley Center fell into a sea of ​​exclamation.

"Oh my goodness, what did I just see?"

O'Neill opened his mouth in an o-shape, and looked incredulously cold.

"The guy who was close to 7 feet just started with just one step, but he has already taken a step within the three-point line! His breakthrough speed is not inferior to the top point guard in the league! Cody Zeller did not respond at all. time!"

The breakthrough of the peak letter brother, the single round of lethality, it is more terrifying than James. After all, James of the Cavaliers 1.0 era, although the breakthrough lethality is very huge, it is also related to his unique six-step layup.

When he reached the Heat and angered Stern, he lost this privilege, which made James' offensive lethality greatly reduced, which is also one of the main reasons for losing to the Mavericks in 11 years.

Of course, afterwards, James painstakingly worked hard and developed a superb backhand technique, and no longer completely relied on this offensive way of breaking through.

The breakthrough of the letter brother, the lethality is mainly reflected in his horrific height, gibbon-like arm span, and the speed of the inferior defender.

The combination of these factors makes it impossible to stop him once he has been on the outside line unless he has placed two meat shields for a long time.

In this regard, the Raptors did a great job in the 18-19 season.

Mark Gasol, who has won the best defensive player, and block madman Serge Ibaka have been stationed at the rim almost all year round, and will not give Brother Alphabet any chance to easily hit the rim.

The current letter brother is not as strong as the muscle-growing Greek monster in the future, but the thinner he is even better in terms of speed, and the offense is too easy when there is no blocking inside.

Looking at Adetokounmpo who took a quick step back, Cody Zeller was a little bit unhappy.

auzw.com Cody Zeller, like Adetokounmpo, is a 13-year rookie, the difference is that he is the No. 6 rookie, and Adetokounmpo is only the No. 12 rookie From the point of view, Cody Zeller has an absolute advantage.

In fact, this is not the case. After being selected by the Pistons with the No. 6 pick in the 13th Draft, he has not had a good time in the Pistons. He has been playing off the bench, averaging only 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds.

After the end of the 13-14 season, the Pistons traded him to the Hornets, and in the Hornets, he was only defending Al Jefferson's blue collar for card rebounds.

On the other hand, what about his No. 12 rookie Adetokounmpo?

Although the stats were the same last season, they can also start the game anyway. This season was regarded as the cornerstone of team building by Wang Xiao. He even played a single ball with ease just now.

But unhappy, he still has no way.

Offensively, Cody Zeller does not have any ball rights, nor will the Hornets players pass to him. Basketball is either in Kemba Walker's hands or Al Jefferson's hands. How could it be his turn A blue collar.

On the defensive end, Cody Zeller realized that just with the goal just now, I am afraid that he alone cannot prevent Adetokounmpo.

Although the heights of the two are similar, the speed difference is not a little bit. Cody Zeller, who is a traditional insider, can't keep up with the guard-like speed of Adetokounmpo.

The Hornets head coach also realized this, so he immediately commanded on the sidelines and arranged for Jefferson to stand firm inside, not to give Adetokunbo enough breakthrough space.

...

The Hornets' offense was initiated by Kemba Walker.

As a point guard regarded by Jordan as the core of the team, Walker has an absolute offensive right in the Hornets. Facing Knight's defense, Walker dribble the ball on the outside and then slammed into the layup by his teammate. Qi's defensive defense was very positive, causing the basketball to miss the rim and was subsequently embraced by Adetokounmpo.

Adtokounmpo, who caught the rebound, did not pause at all, and immediately changed his dribble towards the frontcourt.

His pace is too big, the speed is still very fast, the Hornets inside players can not keep up, only three Hornets outside players have time to return.

Afterwards, they quickly withdrew their defenses, stunned to see Adetokounmpo who started the layup outside the three-point line.

The first step is on the three-point line, and the second step still reaches the free throw line. Adetokounmpo's pace is too big!

The responding Hornets players still want to go forward to defend, but it is too late.

At this distance, for safety reasons, Adetokounmpo did not use the free-throw line dunk, but chose a pick-up action. His body was in the air, he just extended his arm, and the long arm had already The basketball is sent to the basket.

4:0!

At the start, Adetokounmpo scored 4 points in a row, leading the Bucks to an opening advantage!

"Beautiful fast break, Adetokounmpo is showing his talent like his new coach. It seems that he also understands that the coach sitting on the sideline may become his Bole."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh: "I have to say that this Greek guy who is regarded as the cornerstone of the team building by Wang Xiao seems really different."

...

Wang Xiao sat quietly on the sidelines and watched the game, with a slight smile on his face.

As far as the first official game is concerned, such a start is quite good, very imposing!
