Guard With a Knife

Stephen Cole sits in the third row in the center of the court. This seat is the closest to the court and has the best view, which can lead the overall situation.

He just saw the whole process of Snoopy defeating Robin Lopez with a jump ball, and also saw Westbrook rushing into the Stanford penalty area to complete a violent dunk.

These two players of similar height display their physicality in very different ways.

But he was unimpressed.

As the general manager of the Suns, he knows better than anyone which position the team needs to strengthen most, and they don't have a lottery pick. The Phoenix Suns are a playoff team, and the best pick they can get is the fifteenth pick.

In this pick, there is only one option for him on the court: Robin Lopez.

The other two centers, Brook Lopez and Kevin Love, are guaranteed lottery picks. They will never fall out of the top fourteen, or even the top ten.

Robin Lopez is the polar opposite of his brother's skill style, Brook Lopez is more of an offensive player, while Robin Lopez is a total defensive player. It is the best thing to use him to partner with the team's Stoudemire. After all, before this, the bully has negotiated with the management several times, and he is quite dissatisfied with his current shooting rights.

So, his eyes were fixed on Robin Lopez.

At this point, Robin Lopez was wrestling with the puppy on the edge of the paint.

He looked a little dumbfounded.

"What are the two defensive players doing so hard?"

Stephen Cole was very puzzled.

Similarly, Robin Lopez also felt baffled.

"Hey, kid. Are you showing your positivity? Don't tell me you're trying to impress the scouts on the sidelines with this."

Robin thought the little man was ridiculous: "Do you still want to enter the NBA?"

The puppy didn't say a word, but stuck tightly to his chassis.

Robin Lopez's lower body strength is considered strong in the NCAA, but what he met was a puppy. The puppy firmly blocked his way.

And he doesn't have flexible steps, and his huge figure can't make a beautiful escape.

So, he could only stay outside the paint.

At this point, Stanford shooting guard Morris hits a jumper from 16 feet... BOOM!

The basketball misses. Robin Lopez tries to rush.

However, the puppy had already stuck him behind him, and he couldn't get half a step into the penalty area.

Kevin Love protected the backboard very easily.

"Smart defender."

Michael Jordan and Bill Walton reached an agreement on this issue. The difference is that Jordan said it to the senior vice president Karna around him, while Bill Walton told the audience watching the game in the United States: "Snoopy stopped Los Angeles. The Pace Brothers rendezvous, he allowed Stanford to only have a 7-foot center in the paint. This is a defense that is completely isolated from the data. Kevin Love should thank him!"

A thought suddenly flashed in Stephen Cole's head at this time: If this Chinese player appeared in Phoenix, Stoudemire should love him very much. He's going to do all the dirty work, and Stoudemire just needs to easily score 30+20 per game.

However, the thought was only fleeting. After all, the NBA is completely different from the NCAA. The puppy can hold Robin Lopez, but he may block heavy or flexible centers such as Tyson Chandler, Kentrick Perkins, Kenyon Martin, and Eric Dampier. ? As for Dwight Howard, Yao Huang, Tim Duncan and other BUG-level characters, let alone.

So, he just shook his head. For now, at least, the puppy hasn't impressed him. He favored Robin Lopez, who was contained this round.

Easy side to fight again, came to the frontcourt.

Robin Lopez walked towards Kevin Love for the first time,

He's better defensively than his brother, and he's very self-conscious about defending arrows.

As for the non-aggressive puppy, he wasn't included in Stanford's defensive plans.

After Russell Westbrook fell into position, he looked a little tough.

He's still learning how to slow down and play with a tempo.

After observing the positioning of his teammates, he chose to play singles. From beyond the three-point line, he shredded the Stanford point guard 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 made a throw... Bang!

Basketball strikes iron.

The puppy tried to grab the rebound, but was caught in advance by Brook Lopez, who stood up to 2.89 meters high.

"This ball completely exposed Snoopy's flaws. He has no height and no offensive ability. When Russell rushed into the penalty area and faced a tall barrier, he could only choose an unsuitable throw or pass the ball to Outside."

Draft expert Chatford pointedly said: "Luke Mbah a Moute should be replaced now. His impact and long-range shooting ability are the sharp weapons to restrain the Lopez brothers!"

Bill Wharton thinks deeply: "Snoopy can do well when facing medium-sized and short insiders, but when he faces big men over 7 feet, his disadvantage in height will be infinitely magnified. He must have more Multiple weapons are needed to gain a foothold on the court."

Back on the defensive end, the puppy is still stuck blocking Robin Lopez's way.

But this time, in the penalty area, Brook Lopez used a post-up single to force Kevin Love. He turned around and shot just right, feeling as smooth as silk.

Nets general manager Vandeweghe who watched this goal was both happy and palpitating. The reason for being happy is that he has already preferred Brook Lopez to be Vince Carter's inside helper. The reason for the palpitations is that he graduated from, he is an old senior.

The offense of the Bruins once again stalled. The current situation is that facing two seven-footers, it is difficult for Westbrook to get into the paint to score.

And their center Kevin Love is not good at attacking in the low post. He is a space-based power forward, and his face-up shooting is his specialty. So... the system loses its most important link. At the same time, the DDM offensive system, which had shown great prowess in the previous two games, also failed to open up the situation because of the inside line, resulting in an embarrassing situation where the periphery could not form an open space.

Five minutes later, Stanford built a six-point lead.

Ben Howland asked for a timeout with a frustrated expression.

"The problem is that Snoopy has had a negative effect on the court. Now they should put Luke Mbah a Moute. Although Mbah a Moute can't block Robin Lopez like Snoopy, he can at least provide perimeter. Shooting and good cutting efficiency."

Chatford said in the commentary booth.

What he said is what most people think.

The same is true of the assistant coaching team, which makes Ben Holland have to make changes. If I still insist on using the puppy, the price after losing must be that Cole's assistant coach seized this problem and took the opportunity to attack him. Coupled with the waving flags of Bill Wharton and those outside, I will definitely lose this job.

"Listen, Snoopy, you should go back to your scumbag, the course isn't for you."

"Also, give up your ridiculous NBA dream. You tried your best to defend me for so long just now, did it have any effect? ​​What is waiting for you is still a cold bench."

Robin Lopez did not forget to speak provocatively when the puppy was off the court.

Because the puppy really made him very uncomfortable just now, he had to regain his position in words.

The puppy ignored him and walked directly to the bench. He told the head coach: "Mr. Holland, I have a way to deal with the two brothers. I don't have nothing in my arsenal."
