The Basketball Court Swordsman

Yangnis Antetokounmpo, apart from knowing the name of the mouth, Thibodeau knew nothing about this guy.

After all, the work of an NBA head coach is very busy. Thibodeau can't take time to study the opponent's end-of-bench players, just like Henson would not take time to study Mike James of the Bulls.

So when Thibodeau saw Antetokounmpo replacing David West, he was caught off guard. Henson actually changed an inline court? Is it possible that this guy wants to open the situation from the inside? This is not reasonable at all!

"This is simply unreasonable." At the same time, Chris Weber said the voice of Thibodeau, "Antetokounmpo's ability to confront has already shown its disadvantages in the summer league. I thought Henson. The coach will use him to play the third position. Antetokounmpo will suffer a lot if he plays the fourth position."

Reggie Miller did not comment. In fact, he also felt that this replacement was unreasonable. But Henson’s substitutions never make mistakes, and Antetokounmpo is not strong enough to resist this. Henson naturally knows. Since he made this decision, he must have his consideration.

The game restarted. Although Antetokounmpo played for the Pacers in an official game for the first time, he still greeted the Pacers fans. This is also the first time Antetokounmpo has experienced the enthusiastic basketball atmosphere of Indianapolis.

"Antetokounmpo, the Pacers picked it with a 15th overall pick this summer. And this pick was traded in the middle of last season by Coach Henson from the Bucks. We don't I know, when he made this deal, did Coach Henson already plan to get Antetokounmpo." Regarding Antetokounmpo, Reggie Miller can introduce very little.

He is just a blank piece of paper, no one knows what he can do.

The game restarted, and Chris Paul steadily controlled the ball to advance without rushing. It seems that just a few beautiful breakthroughs by Rose did not affect Paul's mentality.

Boozer didn't pay much attention to the rookie in front of him. Although his limbs looked very slender, they were too thin. Boozer didn't think he would lose to this thin boy at the basket.

After Paul walked outside the three-point line, he immediately encountered a blockade by Rose. But CP3 did not stop the ball, but jumped up and moved the ball to the left, where Paul George just got rid of Lor Deng and went outside.

At the same time, Antetokounmpo is ready to catch the ball in the middle of the baseline! He found that Boozer did not press himself tightly, but instead focused on helping defend George.

Paul George naturally saw this gap. He touched the ball with one hand and handed it to Antetokounmpo as soon as he received it!

"Yunis Antetokounmpo, he touched the ball for the first time!"

The reason Boozer dared to put Antetokounmbo a little away was because he was confident that he could make it back quickly. In the first half, he defended West in this way. In this way, he can effectively prevent George from breaking through without missing anyone.

But this time, Boozer, who once caused Yao Ming's headache, made a judgment error.

At the moment Antetokounmpo received the ball, Boozer also moved his own steps. But before Boozer had time to turn around, Antetokounmpo had disappeared from his eyes!

"So fast! In other words, the pace broke so badly!" Reggie Miller's eyes widened. Sure enough, Henson would only be replaced by someone who would help the victory!

Antetokounmpo took just one step after receiving the ball and broke through to the basket. Boozer thought he could retreat, and he was indeed overconfident. Antetokounmpo's speed was beyond his expectations.

Seeing this, Joakim Noah hurried back to the penalty area. But Antetokounmpo did not directly layup, but used his long arms to hold the basketball around the basket, and went back to the basket!

The work this guy is doing is more detailed than people imagine!

"Nice goal, Giannis Antetokounmpo, he scored as soon as he played! Congratulations, this is the first official score for a Greek boy in his NBA career!"

Antetokounmpo jumped excitedly, looking full of passion. This guy didn't lie, he was really ready!

Henson off the court smiled. I can’t believe that such an outstanding player didn’t even have money for a taxi this morning...

Now, it's the Pacers' defensive round. Thibodeau made a few gestures to Rose. There is no doubt that he needs Boozer to play Antetokounmpo in the inside singles.

Prior to this, Boozer had tried 5 shots, but under West's defense, only hit 1 ball. There is no doubt that Boozer's offensive state is why Henson dared to let Antetokounmpo play.

When Boozer was preparing to take a position inside, he realized that he was a little shorter than the skinny boy. But Boozer was not afraid. Yao Ming was also very high back then, but can't he also score on him?

As soon as Rose hit the three-point line with his toes, he lobbed the ball inside. Boozer leaned on Antetokounmpo with one elbow to prevent him from stealing, while the other hand was raised high, ready to catch the ball.

In this way, Boozer is usually able to hold the ball steadily. But this time, his matchup was not "usual" at all.

Just when Boozer was about to catch the ball, he saw another person's arm in front of him! There is no doubt that this arm belongs to Antetokounmpo!

"Impossible!" Boozer was shocked. He had already stuck Antetokounmpo. It stands to reason that Antetokounmpo shouldn't be able to touch the basketball!

Boozer turned his head slightly and found that this guy's arms had grown to the point of horror! Even if Boozer gets stuck in Antetokounmpo, his hand can still reach the front!

In this way, Rose's lob to Boozer did not succeed. Antetokounmpo successfully destroyed the pass, Leonard on the side immediately controlled the basketball, and then directly launched a fast break!

The Bulls retreat as fast as in the past. Today, the Pacers have not made several decent quick counterattacks. Because before the game, Thibodeau strictly formulated everyone's defensive goals, even in the fast break, every Bulls player stared at his matchup. And this is why the Pacers have been unable to open the difference today.

This is also true this time, the Bulls players tried to stick to Paul, George and Leonard this "fast break trident", not let them start speed.

I thought that the fast break Pacers still couldn't play this time, but Thibodeau saw Leonard pass the ball in the middle!

A tall and slender figure suddenly entered from the middle and received a basketball. Then took two big steps and dunked directly without being defended!

"Nice follow-up, Yannis Antetokounmpo, God, how does his thin body buckle such a huge force!" Reggie Miller stood up directly excited.

Thibodeau’s consideration is different from Reggie Miller. What he is thinking is how can Antetokounmpo be so high that he can keep up with the fast break? You know, when Antetokounmpo has successfully dunked, Boozer who chased him hadn't even reached the three-point line!

A player who is taller than Boozer, has a wingspan comparable to Durant, and runs as fast as an outside line! Thibodeau curled his lips, where did the monster come from!

"Nice counterattack, this is our best counterattack in this game!" On the Pacers bench, Becky Harmon clenched his fist and yelled forthrightly.

Henson just smiled slightly, everyone thought Antetokounmpo replaced West in order to strengthen the inside. But in fact, this is a big and four small lineup! In order to speed up, in order to fight back, Henson decided to deal with the Bulls with a senior and a junior!

It's just that the "little guy" in the fourth position is oversized.

In the subsequent offense, Boozer did not fight with Antetokounmpo on the inside, but mentioned a pick-and-roll for Rose.

Pick-and-roll, this is one of Boozer's unique skills to survive in the Jazz. At that time, he and Deron's pick and roll, I don't know how many Rockets fans' hearts were hurt.

Sure enough, Rose's breakthrough attracted the inexperienced Antetokounmpo. The Rose of the Wind City did not hesitate. After passing the ball back while on the move, Boozer got an open mid-range shot!

Boozer's shooting speed is not fast, but very stable. But this time he was about to shoot, but a big hand came out and blocked the basket in front of him!

"Impossible!" Boozer said the word impossible in his heart for the second time in this game.

If it is an ordinary inside defending Boozer, such as West, then this ball is indeed difficult to come back and interfere. But Antetokounmpo is fast enough and has a long wingspan. It is not a problem to rush back from the three-second zone to interfere with Boozer!

Under the strict interference of Antetokounmpo, Boozer missed the shot! Paul personally scored the defensive rebound, and just a few steps away from the dribble, he passed the backcourt!

Antetokounmpo steadily caught the ball at the other end of the court, and at this time, Boozer had already been thrown off three or four positions by him!

Seeing this scene, Thibodeau closed his eyes.

"Hey!" With a loud noise from the basket, Antetokounmpo once again dunked!

Henson crossed his hips on the sidelines triumphantly. It seems that he has succeeded again in this draft!
