Chapter 547 Abnormal physical fitness
Looking at the bobcat players like mad dogs on the field, Brown was a little worried.It's not that he has led the Cavaliers to play against this young team in the past two years. The Bobcats gave him the impression that there are indeed a few good seedlings on the roster, and players like Allen and Ariza are the first-class outsiders in the future. Defensive, but he begs to say the Bobcats are good defensively.
For two consecutive seasons, the Bobcats' defense has been ranked in the middle of the league. Whether it is the average points per game or the defensive efficiency, the rankings in the league are similar, and it is not that no players scored high points against the Bobcats.Of course, those players are not small forwards. After all, the Bobcats do the best defense at the third position, and the other positions are more than one grade worse.
But this time the Bobcats' full-court press surprised Brown and made the Cavaliers' players feel at a loss. The Bobcats' defense in the first two games was also good, but it did not reach this level.Brown also had some luck in his mind that it was just a joke for the Bobcats to take the full-court press at the beginning of the game, and they would soon reduce their intensity due to physical problems.
However, Brown quickly stopped laughing. The Bobcats players used their unfathomable physical ability to prove that this is not a joke, but a strategy adopted against the Cavaliers.James and West are okay, and Hughes can barely keep up. The insiders Gooden and Ilgauskas are in bad luck, constantly running back and forth on the field, and it is useless at all.
This situation forced Brown to take substitutions in less than 5 minutes of the game, mainly letting Gooden and Ilgauskas take turns to rest.To put it bluntly, the Bobcats' countermeasure is to run wildly. On the offensive end, they use continuous interspersed running to create scoring opportunities. On the defensive end, they also chase after the Cavaliers' ass. Gasol is not stingy with his physical strength, such a fast pace makes the Cavaliers exhausted.
It's not that the Cavaliers have tried to keep up with the Bobcats, but there are only a few people who can keep up each time, which is fully reflected in the transition attack.The Cavaliers' transition offense is difficult to play, because the Bobcats retreat quickly, and they are helpless against the Bobcats' transition offense. The result of partially playing more with less is to allow the opponent to add two more points.
What surprised and even frightened Brown was that the Bobcats' fast-paced offense and defense almost maintained the entire first quarter. Thanks to James' personal ability, the Cavaliers were only 28 points behind 35 to 7, and the point difference has not yet reached double digits. .But it was obvious to Brown that the entire vest was soaked when James came off the court, which is not a normal situation.
He couldn't help but be amazed by the physical fitness of the Bobcats players. This is simply a team made up of perverts!Brown has always thought that the best physical team in the NBA should be the Suns. After all, their "seven-second offense" is in full swing, and the main players' athletic ability is also very good.But now it seems that the Bobcats have the best physical fitness.
Jackson is quite satisfied with the performance of the players in the first quarter, and he is not afraid of any problems with their physical fitness. Chang Wei is the best guarantee in the team.At the beginning, Chang Wei strongly demanded to put the physical fitness of the players first, and even took a table with his old friends, mainly because of today's situation, it is impossible for the whole court to press without sufficient physical fitness.
In the second quarter, the Bobcats still had no intention of slowing down. Brown had asked the players to keep their rhythm as much as possible, but they were still brought fast.Every Cavaliers player is cursing in his heart, why are you running so fast?Can't you go slower?I didn't realize that you can run so well in the first two games, but now you are running as fast as rabbits one by one!
The commentators on the scene were also very surprised. The full-court press is not a new tactic. Any team will use it if they have nothing to do, but it is absolutely impossible to continue to use the full-court press like the Bobcats. of.
However, Jackson did not intend to press the audience to continue. After more than 3 minutes in the second quarter, the Bobcats resumed their regular style of play, which made the Cavaliers players heave a sigh of relief.But this does not mean that the Bobcats will not maintain their fast offensive style on the offensive end. The Cavaliers have been dragged out of internal injuries, and now the defensive end is almost laissez-faire.
Brown knows that if he wants to reduce the Bobcats' game rhythm, he must first tighten the fence, but the problem with the Cavaliers now is that the role players are not young. It is almost impossible to expect them to defend well under the condition of huge physical consumption. .Brown couldn't help but turn his attention to other people on the bench. Should he consider giving young people some opportunities now?
There are still young people on the Cavaliers' bench. Both Varejao born in 1982 and Pavlovic born in 1983 can stand up, and their defense is not bad.Brown didn't want to see the point difference between the two sides be further widened. He decisively took advantage of the dead ball to replace these two guys, so that there were players under the age of 30 on the field.
Lowering the average age is indeed the easiest way. After this substitution, the Cavaliers seem to have regained their vitality and started to keep up with the Bobcats.But Chang Wei laughed to himself. If the Bobcats' fast offense is so easy to crack, is it still a team trained by themselves?Simply lowering the average age of players can only alleviate the team's plight at best.
Sure enough, when these two players came on the court, the Cavaliers' offense improved a bit. After all, Varejao added a support point to the inside, but it's out of the question when it comes to defense. Yi also had no choice but to pay for a personal foul. Varejao's ability to protect the frame is not bad, but it is not enough in front of Milicic and Gasol.
At the end of the half, Brown's approach still had no effect. The Cavaliers trailed by 58 points 70 to 12. Although this is not a big gap, it is tantamount to a blow to them.When the Cavaliers tied the big score before, everyone was ready to take advantage of the winning momentum to go to the away game to make another victory, but they didn't expect that after halftime, they were behind.
Although on the surface they all thought it was just luck that the Bobcats won the first game of the series, in fact they recognized the opponent's strength deep down in their hearts. Disrespect for the opponent is disrespect for themselves.And judging from the current performance of the Bobcats, they are also determined to win their home court. More importantly, it is not the Cavaliers who are leading now!
