Chapter 102 If you don't attack, will you attack? (one)
On May 2002, 5, the New Jersey Nets, who had rested for ten days, went to Madison Square Garden, and the long overdue Eastern Conference Finals finally kicked off.
This is the first time the Knicks have returned to the Eastern Conference Finals after a year. In contrast, the Nets' season record ranks sixth from the bottom in the league. If they win this time, Kidd will be able to brag for a lifetime!
The head coach of the Nets is Byron Scott. When he was young, he partnered with "Magic" to mix up three championships. He started to work as a rookie coach for the Nets last season, fighting monsters and leveling up. He trained the team to the bottom. The management is tolerant enough and will continue to let him practice this season.His coaching performance is very dependent on top point guards, such as Kidd in the Nets, Paul in the Hornets, Irving in the Cavaliers, and nothing in the Lakers, and he was quickly fired.
Therefore, the rocket-like rise of the Nets this season has nothing to do with the coach. The on-the-spot tactics that everyone has seen are actually on the field coach Kidd, and Byron Scott is mainly responsible for calling timeouts and pouring chicken soup.
This season, under Kidd's scheduling, the Nets played real team basketball. After one season, 8 people scored more than 9 points per game, but none of them scored more than 15 points.This is their advantage. Most teams are slowly boiled to death by being boiled in warm water like Kidd.But sometimes it also becomes a disadvantage. They don't have a super scorer, so when someone from the opposing team "goes crazy" and scores 30+ points, the Nets are about 10 points behind and are forced to chase points, they will miss a superhero coming to New Jersey.
Facing the New York Knicks who Zhao Ke is habitually "crazy", they arranged such a lineup:
Point Guard: Jason Kidd
Shooting guard: Kerry Kittles
Small Forward: Keith Van Horn
Power Forward: Kenyon Martin
Center: Todd Mark Lodge
The center is Zhao Ke's old friend. Last season, the 76ers' backup center, Todd Mark Lodge, benefited from the fact that the Nets' center was cursed in the previous seasons and was reimbursed one after another.Mark Rocky has good body and weight, but he moves slowly. The defensive end squeezes the space under the basket, and the offensive end can score an average of 9.7 points per game even with Kidd's good hand.Stuffing him into the arms of "Donkey Kong under the basket" Ben Wallace, Zhao Ke said that he needs to be a little careful to hurt his former teammate.
Power forward Kenyon Martin is the "No. 2.06 Scholar of the Century". He is 240 meters tall, weighs 2.13 pounds, and has a wingspan of 101 meters. He can run and jump, and has a lot of dunks. He is a player with relatively strong finishing ability.But compared to offense, Martin is better at defense. In his career, he conceded only 93 points per [-] rounds. At his peak, he once reached [-] points. Kenyon Martin’s style of play is relatively wild, and he is a true inside thug.
The small forward is Keith Van Horn, an anti-aircraft shooter with a super long range and no dead ends, and is expected to become the "second Bird".But his body is not flexible enough, and his speed is not fast enough. Although his rebounding ability is acceptable, he is afraid of confrontation.
The shooting guard is Kerry Kittles, who is also a member of the 96 golden generation. He is nicknamed "Mosquito" because of his thin body and long arms.He and Kidd are considered to be one of the best defensive backcourt combinations in the league, and he runs the fastest in the Nets sprint team, and plays the best fast break with Kidd. He is also known as the barometer of the Nets. He plays well and the team wins.Seeing Kittles' small body, Zhao Ke missed Pierce's invincible back attack a little bit.
The Nets sent everyone in the team who could score some offensive points to the starting lineup, just because they were afraid of being taken away by Zhao Ke, oh no, and Kidd.
Kidd is known as "Basic does not attack". He basically does not shoot on the offensive end unless there is an absolute open space. Even if there is an absolute open space, he will not shoot if he feels bad...
Of course, there are still a few great gods on the bench for the Nets, in various fields...
Backup center Jason Collins, 12 years later, will publicly announce his coming out as gay, becoming the first active professional athlete in North American sports history to announce his gay status.The Nets who signed him have also received praise from all walks of life. They believe that the Nets' move has a far-reaching impact, even similar to Auerbach sending the No.1 African-American black player to the game.
Anthony Johnson, nicknamed "Big Brother" UFC Light Heavyweight Champion.
Of course not, just the same name.
There is also a serious one, Richard Jefferson, a rookie this year, will also be a fierce man who averages 20+ per game in the future, so he is still too young.
Comparing it horizontally, Zhao Ke thinks that this game should be a sure win.Jeff Van Gundy didn't have the slightest worry, and arranged tactics calmly, as if this was not the Eastern Conference Finals, but an irrelevant regular season.
However, basketball is round and anything is possible.
At the beginning of the game, the Nets caught the Knicks by surprise:
Kenyon Martin jumped the ball to win Big Ben, and Kidd, who got the ball, launched a quick counterattack and made a wonderful pass across the court. The fastest runner "Mosquito" Kittles scored two points for a layup, and the fun has just begun.
Offensive and defensive transition, Billups dribbled the ball just after halftime, encountered Kidd blocking the way, and "mosquito" flew across halftime and scored two points.
Billups didn't believe in evil, and this time he was ready for a fast break with full power, and he rushed to the top of the arc like lightning, but knocked down Kidd, who had been waiting for him for almost a year, and made an offensive foul...
Both the Knicks and Van Gundy underestimated Kidd's defense. How does a point guard, a point guard who is not good at offense, change a team?
In addition to the calm and perverted scheduling, it should be defense.
Kidd's defensive IQ is mainly reflected in his position, footwork, and route... Before the game, he will keep in mind the offensive habits, movements, and "most directions" (the more proficient direction of each NBA player when he cuts) of each opponent's player, and put his strong body in the best defensive position in advance during the game.
Familiarize yourself with your technical characteristics and shooting preferences, use your strengths to attack your weaknesses, try not to make room for what you are good at, use your body and rules to "drive" you to awkward shooting positions and passing positions, and "drive" you to the range of teammates' assistance defenses; read your intentions and choose, defend in advance or even counterattack interception...
If you don't attack, even if you don't attack, you are still fierce!
