Chapter 138 The Road To Defending The Title! Are The Warriors A Stumbling Block?
"Middleton!"
"How did you do that!"
Tucker was surprised.
He didn't have such accurate judgment when facing the three-threat pace of the ball carrier.
And whenever the opponent wants to attack sideways, he doesn't dare to take action rashly and complete the interception.
"I'm protecting the ball and moving back! You shouldn't step back to prevent me from breaking through."
"I've already protected the ball, how dare you come up and cut it.
Tucker couldn't understand and asked next.
"You don't understand this."
Middleton smiled leisurely and pointed to Chu Han beside him.
When the two were practicing defensive steps just now, Middleton ate a lot of
Whenever the opponent moves back to protect the ball, he will take a step back, as Tucker said, and then block the opponent's breakthrough route.
But Chu Han directly pulled out, even if he was only half a body, he could still withstand the interference and hit two points...
After suffering many losses, Middleton changed his defensive strategy and chose to press half a step forward to defend and cut the ball...
After adjusting this strategy, excellent results were achieved.
"You said this was just a result of training!"
"And still with Chu..."
Tucker looked at Middleton and thought that such a big leap could be made in such a short period of time.
He then glared at Chu Han beside him.
"I said Chu, why don't you teach me! I also want to improve my defense to a higher level!"
He feels that Middleton can make progress, so he cannot fall behind.
In the new season, he will have to guard James or Durant on the front line...
The opponent is likely to pose a huge strike threat to himself.
Only by improving his defensive strength in the summer can he face Cleveland's two forward giants.
At this time, Chu Han smiled leisurely:
"Your performance on the defensive end is already very good. Now what you need to do is not to improve your defensive skills.
As he spoke, he pointed to a corner for Tucker.
"What you need to continue to improve is your corner three-point ability. Only in this way can we continue to put you on the court!"
The words fell.
Tucker frowned suddenly, and he realized that Chu Han's words had a deeper meaning.
Doesn’t what he just said mean that if I don’t have three-point ability in the new season, I might not even be able to enter the starting lineup?
"This is what the coach thinks!"
"I have to develop my three-point shooting ability in the summer?"
Tucker looked at Chu Han and asked.
"No."
Chu Han shook his head.
He just thought about Tucker's performance on the offensive end, and thought about such a defensive gate. Only by opening up space can he relieve some pressure on the players on the offensive end.
"By next season, they will definitely let you go!"
"When the rest of us are four against five, the space on the court will be greatly restricted, and the offensive rhythm will most likely not be able to open up."
Chu Han glanced at Tucker and poured out his thoughts.
When Tucker heard this, he realized the profound meaning of what Chu Fei said to him.
"You want me to become a spatial insider!"
"I understand! From now on I will practice my three-point ability from the bottom corner!"
Tucker said seriously.
Immediately, he came to the familiar bottom corner area. When he stood here before, he had also made several three-pointers.
But the coach did not include this in the tactical system. In other words, his three-point ability is not strong enough.
"Once I can't limit the opponent's defensive position in the corner, then they will definitely let me go..."
"In addition, my corner three-pointers are not accurate enough. Whether we can reach the finals in the new season will be a question."
The more Tucker thought about it, the more worried he became.
He is afraid that he will become the weakest link in the Knicks.
At this time, Middleton was practicing defensive steps, and he went to the left and right corners and frequently practiced three-point shooting...
Chu Han smiled happily after seeing this scene.
Even if they don't make any signings in the summer, they will still be a big threat in the new season.
These core players are an important guarantee for their ability to defend their title.
'.wSo what if the Cavaliers have the Big Three. "
"So what if the Warriors signed JaVale McGee!"
Chu Han laughed coldly, "As long as our Knicks lineup remains intact, then we will be the most likely contenders for the championship!"
After the madness of the summer, fans watched their beloved teams arrive in their hometown of California for summer league games.
The Cavaliers are obviously adjusting their lineup.
Throughout the summer league, they only won five games.
For the Knicks, this summer league is more about improving the strength of the bench.
They gave the bench players enough playing time.
JR, Shumpert and rookie Harris gained a lot of experience in this summer league.
They felt the suffocation brought by the Cavaliers' Big Three.
There is also the shock that the Warriors use to easily tear apart the defense using pass-and-cut tactics...
