Vol 2 Chapter 684: Oden and Okafor (one / three!)

A wave of four consecutive victories, the Nets gradually found a suitable way to play.
Good things come in pairs. After this four-game winning streak, the Nets also ushered in a sweet schedule. Their opponents in the next few games were the 76ers, Lakers, Timberwolves and Knicks.
The biggest feature of these teams is that this season's record is bleak. Although the season has only passed one-third, it has basically missed the playoffs and entered the rotten mode in advance.
Now the Nets have a 20-7 record, behind the Cavaliers by 2 and a half wins, and 3 wins over the third Raptors. This is also a good time for them to get rid of the Raptors and catch up with the Cavaliers. opportunity.
The 76ers waited for Joel Embiid for a year, originally thinking about doing a lot in the new season, but Embiid once again reimbursed for the injury season, plus the record has been bleak year after year, no free agent willing to come, now the team's The Five Tigers are Ismail Smith, Nick Stauskas, Robot Covington, Jahir Okafor and Norrens Noel.
This lineup does not have any competitiveness in the league. Their record to the present is 3 wins and 24 losses. It can't be too bad.
In the face of such opponents, the Nets are basically effortless, and have led their opponents by nearly 30 points in three quarters.
The game also entered garbage time early.
"Greg's training is good. Let him try it?" At the end of the quarter, Frank suggested to Tang Tian.
This is not the first garbage time in the Nets game, but Tang Tian has never sent Oden to the court before. The main reason is that Oden's condition has not yet met the requirements.
He spent the honor points and invited Mutombo to invest so much. Naturally, he didn't want to see the Oden that he saw in the preseason.
Oden's progress in training has been obvious, but recently a bottleneck has arrived, and it is time for him to go to the field to find a feeling. Such garbage time is a good start.
Coming back in the fourth quarter, the 76ers still want to struggle a bit, and they still have a serious rotation.
Isaiah Cannan, Hollis Thompson, Jeremy Grant, Carl Landry, and Jahir Okafor.
On the Nets side, Tang Tian has already started to replace the bench in advance.
The outside line is Livingston and Taylor Johnson, the front line is Jefferson Jr. and David West, center Oden.
The 76ers' offense, Kannan dribble the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Okafor in the post, and everyone else pulled away on both sides to give room for singles.
Okafor's technical characteristics are singles, it seems that only singles, will not respond, and poor passing ability.
This kind of player, the weak side of the package can basically prevent him, but Tang Tian and the coaching staff want to inspect Oden, naturally not like this.
Okafor saw low in the low position, and began to chisel Oden.
Oden's body is very thick, he can't get in with a hard top.
However, Okafor's low post technique is really good. Immediately, he turned around the basket with Oden as the axis. The timing was perfect and the technical action was completed in one go.
If this had been before, Oden was basically passed, but this time he took a step back and grabbed the basket, straightening his hands to disturb.
Okafor turned to find that Oden's interference was still there, and chose to turn to the free throw line to hook.
"boom!"
After all, Oden is high, and his impact on Okafor ’s sight is not small after the hand is straightened. This shot is obviously a bit short.
Oden turned to receive a defensive rebound, this time he defended!
Tang Tian felt relieved when he saw this.
In addition to ability training and training, after really deciding to train Oden, Tang Tian instilled some basketball ideas to him from time to time.
Defensive is more than blocking, this is the most understanding he has given Oden.
The top defenders in history are not bad at blocking, but just like the propositions in mathematics, the inverse proposition and the proposition are different. That is to say, it is wrong to say that people with good blocks are top defenders. .
Because of defense, not only blocks, defense includes card position, top man, assist defense, rebound protection ... In all aspects, blocking is only the most intuitive link.
Like Oden's blindly trying to cover the opponent, the coverage is certainly wonderful, but the fouls, misses, loss of protection in the penalty area and the loss of rebounds are invisible but most intuitive in technical statistics.
So to play, to defend well is the biggest requirement of Tang Tian and the coaching staff for Oden.
Judging from this round just now, his progress is indeed good.
West scored a goal offensively and Okafor's protection of the penalty area was a bit poor.
Looking back, it was Okafor who played Oden in the post.
The 76ers don't have to think too much about this record now. They are rookies. Okafor is exploring flowers, which is naturally the focus of training.
The same low back, but Okafor learned the experience of the last round. The basket turned around continuously. Oden didn't take the chance of Okafor's shot. The latter shot from the side and scored.
There is still room for improvement in his defense.
Okafor was very excited after scoring, waving his arms at the audience was a roar.
He is the most invincible presence in ncaa ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is also the No. 1 champion. As a result, he not only lost to Towns, but also lower than the Europeans of Porzingis. He is determined to prove himself.
Not to mention the "parallel import" champions that have not been mixed up for a while now.
The Nets' offense, still West, used experience to shake Noel off the basket.
Okafor threw himself out and left the penalty area clean.
This is the same as the last round. He just needs to turn around or squeeze to rush to the penalty area to hit the ball. However, as the eldest brother, he still wants to bring more young people and put the ball directly before physical contact with Okafor Push to the right of the basket.
Oden stood there.
In a beautiful inside story, Oden faced the empty blue after catching the ball and jumped directly to make a double clasp.
There was a lot of cheers on the scene. Compared with the teacher's butterman Pralim, Oden's ending method was obviously more violent and more ornamental.
Back on the defensive end, West also took the initiative to switch to Okafor, and turned back to say a few words with Oden, as if to make him see clearly later.
Okafor eats West, and he has an advantage in weight, but he can't get rid of the continuous turn.
Who is West? After his debut, he is famous for his middle distance and low back. In other words, Okafor ’s skills are all left over from his play. Not to mention the strength does not suffer, but the experience is crushed.
Okafor finally chose to turn the outside hook.
At this moment, Oden took the opportunity to jump from behind West.
"boom!"
Like a goshawk flapping a rabbit covering the sky above his head, Oden's big hand waved over the sky and covered the sky, directly rewarding Okafor with a sturdy big hat.
The whistle continued.
Oden was beaten by Okafor in front of him. This risk is a complete recovery of his face!
