Chapter 63, The Fury of the Turtle!
Due to the distortion of the first lineup, the Trail Blazers raised two players from the second lineup to the starter.
This has led to the second team that originally partnered with Xue Ding becoming more and more dissatisfied.
After the timeout, the Trail Blazers' lineup became Xue Ding, Fernandez, Cunningham, Zhuwan Howard, and Webster.
Xue Ding kept thinking about the attack method.
The Trail Blazers' second lineup is no longer much stronger than the Timberwolves' second lineup.
The Trail Blazers' Youth Guards have the most advantages in starting! There is no absolute certainty in the second lineup.
This season, Fernandez averaged 8 points per game, which was the second scoring point besides Xue Ding. Although the score was OK, this guy was unreliable and very arrogant. This is the key to head coach McMillan's unwillingness to regard him as the core.
His signatures are gorgeous dunks, elegant flights, super large three-pointers, exotic style, cool hairstyle, sighing stubble, and deep eyes.
The style of playing is gorgeous, Rudy Fernandez was the former. After returning from injury this season, this guy has only one three-pointer left. He dunks a basket when he is on a fast break with Xue Ding to prove his talent.
Xue Ding initially thought Fernandez was fine, with comprehensive skills and delicate style of play, and felt that he was quite regretful that he had not become a superstar.
But after playing a few games, Xue Ding also discovered this guy's shortcomings.
Now Rudy is not willing to break through, she is only willing to shoot three-pointers, and there are still many rules for shooting three-pointers.
For example: He usually doesn't shoot three-pointers and almost never makes any attempts. He basically doesn't make three-pointers at open positions. He may not make any attempts to make three-pointers in a critical three-pointer. He usually makes three-pointers with high difficulty. He will definitely make three-pointers without any effect...
In these games, his three-point shooting percentage was only 37%.
Xue Ding couldn't believe this was a guy who just broke the rookie three-point record that had been in existence for 12 years last year.
Although there is some competition, his relationship with Xue Ding on and off the court is pretty good.
Another, Cunningham is a rookie and is still in the adaptation stage and cannot provide much help.
And Webster and Xue Ding didn't know what to say.
WeiPost is not a microwave-style player, but a player who needs to play soy sauce and throw bread before entering the game. This is a shame.
What's even more chewy is that the bad dribble directly positioned him as a pitcher.
The most slightest thing is that his removal is not at all elegant and graceful, so he is not suitable for being a pitcher.
This is also the reason why the former genius high school student fell into a mediocre role player, but not all.
A 23-year-old young man with both height and physique, as strong as a jaguar and "I must tear you apart" look, has a strong physical fitness and can shoot. The sky of a 23-year-old man born for the big scene should be much more than that.
The key is that since Webster entered the league with the 6th pick in 2005, he has never understood what stability is.
He can play tough and tough defense in one round but cannot stay focused throughout the game.
He scored 24 points in a single quarter at the age of 21, but he has not had a season that averaged more than 11 points per game.
On some nights, his blade was like fire that could not be stopped, but there were too few such nights.
Webster was still steadily unstable last season.
Webster's performance made fans feel that he was Portland's pride, but when fans rekindled hope for him, Webster began a long hibernation again.
It can be understood that he is a role player with the blood of privileged players and needs a lot of mobile phones to stimulate his energy. Therefore, when the team lacks soldiers and the general makes him the top three offensive choice, Webster can only open up the firepower, and he and Xue Ding have some ball rights conflicts.
If Batum's defense is long-lasting soil, then Webster's defense is wood that is rather broken than bent.
Webster's template is Glenn Rice, a shooter who should have become an elegant assassin, but now he has to leave himself on the court with his once disdainful defense and attitude......
This guy is not reliable.
And Zhu Wan Howard and Xue Ding still respect him very much.
Time will wipe out a lot of his things, such as hair, athleticism, enthusiasm, and even ambition.
At the same time, time will accumulate a lot of things, such as fat, experience, skills, and even calmness.
But dignity will always accompany him, and it will increase monotonically with time.
The old guys also have dignity and passion. Xue Ding will see Andre Miller give his opponent a tomahawk dunk. After seeing Miller get blocked or hit a blackshot, he is very excited and has only the basket in his eyes.
The same goes for Zhu Wan Howard. He would rather make a malicious foul than allow his opponent to easily layup on his head. When he feels that his teammate's dignity is challenged, he will stand up for his teammates without hesitation, and when his opponent uses a trick on him, he will strike back without hesitation.
The only teammate Xue Ding has no dunks on the training ground is this veteran.
Because when Zhu Wan found out that Xue Ding wanted to lock him, he would push Xue Ding away.
At the same time, because this veteran moves very much, Xue Ding will conflict with him from time to time!
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers have a good atmosphere, and even if the two conflict, they will quickly blame them on the invisible.
Although there was a conflict on the court, there was no conflict between the two off the court.
The charm of this 37-year-old veteran makes him another respected leader in the locker room.
After Xue Ding knew this guy's temper, he no longer tried to block this guy on the training ground.
Zhu Wan Howard also passed on the skills and experiences he learned from his predecessors and his 16-year career to young people in the team, including Xue Ding.
He also advises team leaders Roy and Aldridge.
Zhu Wanneng now shoots 17-foot jump shots to protect the rebounds, and can no longer ask him to do too much.
Xue Ding's teammates swept across his face.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at him.
Xue Ding did not disappoint his teammates.
He clapped and signaled everyone to come around.
Xue Ding pressed the shoulders of his teammates on both sides and shouted: "Guys, take a few minutes to kill them and send them back to Minnesota!"
"Yeah, kill them!"
The substitutes all know the team's current difficulties, so it's really helpless to put forward such a lineup.
Zhu Wan Howard looked at Xue Ding who took the initiative to stand up and lead the team.
No need to admit it.
Xue Ding is the morale engine of the Trail Blazers and the leader of the substitute lineup.
Zhu Wan Howard also knew very well that if this young guard was not injured.
So!
The arrogant Los Angeles Lakers will be in big trouble!!!
The game resumes.
Although the Timberwolves are in the second team, Love and Flynn, the starting lineup, did not go on.
Because Xue Ding basically didn't attack much in the first six minutes of the game, he made two three-pointers and didn't make a shot, Flynn didn't care much about Xue Ding's combat effectiveness.
This time he was confidently looking at Xue Ding again!
The first two rounds after the pause were indeed as Flynn had expected!
Xue Ding's touch today was average, and he didn't make two consecutive shots.
And today's Flynn feels good.
After Xue Ding failed to make a shot, he used the cover to get rid of Xue Ding and made a quick stop in the free throw line and made a mid-range rush.
14 to 12.
It's just one or two rounds.
Xue Ding himself was very calm, but Flynn couldn't help it.
After Flynn scored the goal, he ran over to Xue Ding and said, "Xue, I will completely beat you tonight, proving that the Chinese are not suitable for playing defenders."
Seeing that Xue Ding was indifferent.
Flynn continued to swear words and said, "Your defense is like a paper-based one. Are Chinese people so weak?"
Flynn's endless trash talk finally changed Xue Ding's mood!
"Clang, inspire talented skills, "The Wrath of the Turtle""
The system prompt sounds indicate Xue Ding's mood.
He was angry.
"You will regret irritating me."
Xue Ding only replied to Flynn!
Chapter completed!
