NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 8 Center with no market? Guard era!

“Buckett, cheer up, are you still asleep…”

Hearing the roar of the coaching staff on the sidelines, the white center named Bookett was also frightened.

It can be seen that the hot-tempered coach of the Oklahoma Sooners left a deep impression on him in the team.

Bookett took the initiative to ask for the ball in the penalty area. He was very confident in his low-post skills.

As for the Asian center behind him, he didn’t take it seriously at all.

Bang!

The dull muscle sound reminded Bookett of his extremely suppressive low-post offense in the qualifying games.

But… the first touch that was not right made him stunned.

The confrontation just now did not help him get a favorable shooting space, and Wang Song behind him was still sticking to him like a sticky candy.

The opponent’s seemingly thin body actually has a good strength support.

Thinking of this, Booker also gave up the method of winning by brute force, and instead used his skillful low-post footsteps under the basket.

This is what he is most proud of!

After continuous back-to-back shaking, he suddenly received the ball and pretended to attack the basket.

The power of the back-to-back disappeared.

Just when Booker was complacent about his past extremely confusing footsteps, he was ready to turn around and face the basket.

Suddenly, his face was covered by a shadow that covered the sky and the sun, and Wang Song raised his hands to block him.

Booker, who lost his center of gravity, jumped up and passed the ball, but was intercepted by other members of the Wolf Pack team in the air.

The Wolfpack counterattacked with two on one in the frontcourt and scored two points.

4:0!

“Stupid Bookett, what is he thinking about all day? He just wanted to get back on his feet after being dunked, but he made a mistake and assisted the opponent to score.”

“The traitor of the Oklahoma Sooners, I demand a strict investigation of this guy!”

“He just did all kinds of actions in front of the Asian rookie, and he didn’t even move when he moved. What kind of clown is the exclusive clown of the Sooners.”

······

The boos in the stands once made Bookett want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

In an environment that is almost the same as the home court, he was actually ridiculed by the home fans.

It can be regarded as a heavy stroke in his life experience of failure.

The head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners on the sidelines was angry and stared at Bookett without saying a word.

The guilty Bookett did not make trouble in the next few rounds and honestly served as a tool for the team.

The Oklahoma Sooners’ adjustment helped them open up the offensive situation.

Relying on Hollis Price’s good touch on the offensive end, they hit three-pointers from the outside in succession.

But the Oklahoma Sooners, who had just opened up the situation, encountered big trouble again.

As the first quarter progressed, they found that the opponent’s Asian center delayed and switched defenses faster and faster.

There was obviously 35 seconds of offensive time for the Oklahoma Sooners to organize the offense.

But as the pain point of not being able to eat alone in the interior extended.

After being blocked once, Bookett became more hesitant to shoot, which made the Sooners miss many opportunities.

Even many times, Price needed a buzzer-beating shot to end the offense.

14:8!

The Oklahoma Sooners, who were at a disadvantage, took the lead in calling a timeout.

The Sooners coach, whose face turned as red as liver, cursed at Bookett who was leaving the court.

Bookett, who was already close to autism, became even more autistic, and sat on the bench in a half-dazed state.

Just as the Sooners coach was spitting in the players’ seats, North Carolina on the other side seemed particularly peaceful.

“Boss, your strategy worked.”

“Huh?”

Herb Sendek looked at the excited assistant coach next to him with a half-dazed look, and he himself was a little confused.

But Herb Sendek still gave Jim a “you know” look.

In any case, the coach’s personality should be maintained!

In fact.

The strategy he formulated before the game was originally intended to catch the opponent off guard by changing the formation before the game.

And to test the compatibility of Wang Song with the starting lineup.

More importantly, he wanted to use the Tian Ji horse racing strategy to consume the physical strength of the Oklahoma Sooners’ starting lineup first.

In order to cope with the difficult second half!

But the situation at the beginning seemed a little beyond his expectations…

[Solid defense in the penalty area, stable experience value +80]

[Penthouse defense pressure

Opponent passes the ball wrong, Steady Experience +50]

[Reasonable big delay causes opponent to make a mistake, Steady Experience +30]

A series of prompts in his mind made Wang Song on the bench smile comfortably.

Five minutes into the game, Wang Song scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Although the data on the surface is not very luxurious, it can even be said that it is a bit mediocre on the NCAA individual stage.

But the data panel cannot directly reflect Wang Song’s role. Many of his help to the team to get the ball are not included in the basic data.

Only those who watch the game live and really understand the game can understand his real role on the court.

That kind of old-timer style of play on the court, the smooth operation of the North Carolina Wolf Pack at the beginning of the game is inseparable from him.

······

“What a stupid start. The funniest joke I’ve heard this year is that the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference is invincible!”

“Did the Oklahoma Sooners buy the No. 1 seed? And you dare to say that you are a strong contender for the championship, haha.”

“Ugly, too ugly! I’m really blind. I saved money for half a year to watch this game!”

Timeout.

The fans in the stands couldn’t suppress their emotions and cursed.

The Oklahoma Sooners’ bad start made their fans very dissatisfied.

This was completely different from the crushing momentum promoted by the major Oklahoma City media before the game. The opponent was far less weak than they imagined.

Just as everyone was cursing, there were two figures in suits in the crowd.

They didn’t seem to be affected by the people around them, and they didn’t feel sad because of the Oklahoma Sooners’ defeat.

Instead, they kept looking at the position of the North Carolina Wolf Pack with a sly look.

“Mr. Randy, how about this guy? Does he meet your expectations?”

John asked confidently, raising his head proudly.

“He is definitely the cornerstone of Miami’s team building for the next ten or twenty years!”

Heat General Manager Randy Finley took the scouting report handed over by John and flipped through it thoughtfully.

“His performance in the game is pretty good, and his playing style is also very stable…”

At this point, John’s eyes have already lit up.

But Randy Finley suddenly turned to John and stuffed the scouting report to him: “Just… John, are you sure this type of player can be loved by Miami fans?”

“Whether from the data or from the desire to perform, he doesn’t seem to be the most eye-catching presence on the court in the previous games.”

“With the fading of the four major centers, the era of centers in the league is about to pass, and the future will be dominated by the guard market!”

“Fans are definitely more willing to pay for guards.”
