Chapter 321 Five Small Forces
Chapter 321
For about 10 years, the offensive tactics that ruled the NBA were still complex triangle offenses, but the defensive tactics have become Tom Thibodeau's chain defense.
In the matter of changing defenses for the five small players, it is the most correct choice to ask Tom Thibodo.
With one phone call, Rivers gained the confidence to use this style of play from Siboduna, and by the way, he also perfected this style of play.
Specifically, infinite switching is not mindless switching. The position before switching and the timing of switching are also very important.
And, Tom Thibodo believes that this set of five small styles of play cannot become a regular set of styles of play.
It should be a very effective way to steal chickens at critical moments.
Rivers is noncommittal, he has decided to use this set of five small plays to block shots and kill the Magic that is already on the rise.
In the next two days, the Bobcats frantically practiced this new style of play, while also paying attention to the development of the Western Conference Finals next door.
Like the Bobcats, the Lakers went to two cities first and have already shattered the aura of the Nuggets Galaxy battleship.
But after the Nuggets returned to the home court, they immediately relied on the strength of the old shark to pull back a victory.
The Dongxi Jue entered the G4 link...
……
G4, still Time Warner Center.
After the G3 battle, the Magic regained their confidence in winning. Before this game, Stan Van Gundy was already shouting: "We want to win another game and let the series start from the beginning!"
To put it bluntly, even though they won an away game, considering the overall situation of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Magic are still behind.
Although the outside world is full of praise, the Bobcats have also decided to play all their cards.
Stan Van Gundy himself knows how difficult the magic is now.
In the visiting locker room before the start of the game, Stan Van Gundy kept repeating two words, one was the pick and roll, and the other was the pass.
The pick-and-roll is repeatedly listened to by Sparks. The focus of this game is still to put Sparks on the pick-and-roll.
On the surface, the pass seems to be repeated to Xiao Heidou and Old Carter, but in fact it is also repeated to Spark.
Did you hear that, Dwight?I already let Aaron, Vince pass the ball...
So, stick to the pick and roll and don't give up!
In the locker room of the home team, the atmosphere is still somewhat different.
Although the Bobcats have just lost a game, they have practiced the five-point play for two days, which still makes the Bobcats full of confidence in this home game.
Of course, even without the Fifth Elementary School, the Bobcats would not completely lose confidence.
On the one hand, they still have an advantage in the series.
On the other hand, G3's defeat was actually caused by the combination of various factors.
Sparks' pick-and-roll, Sparks' free throws, and the Bobcats' own, Curry's status issues.
It is very difficult to think about another game like this.
……
Half an hour later, in the infield of the Time Warner Center, the Bobcats and Magic have all warmed up.
The referee urged for a while, and the starters of both sides appeared on the stage...
In Chicago, Tom Thibodeau, who had already talked about the same with the Bulls management, was also in the hotel, watching the game.
The five minors that Rivers suddenly proposed made him realize that it might be a set of styles that could change the future of the NBA.
So, regardless of whether he was interested in the Bobcats playoffs, he turned on the TV.
"The Bobcats' starting lineup...Rivers has a somewhat surprising lineup..."
Thibodeau didn't even need to look up. He only needed to listen to the surprised voice of the groom Albert on the TV, and he already knew that Rivers still didn't listen to him, and he had already used Wu Xiao as a routine tactic.
"Point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Wesley Matthews, small forward Sheldon Lee, power forward Gerald Wallace, center ... PJ Tucker!"
A few seconds later, Sparks easily defeated the second Hua who played the jump ball. The groom Albert continued to report the matchup situation on the field with a surprised voice.
"No, the center is not PJ Tucker, the Magic has settled in the frontcourt, and Dwight Howard is facing Sheldon. What does this mean?"
"This shows that in this game, the Bobcats' center is Sheldon who is less than 2 meters tall with shoes on!"
Completely different from groom Albert, Steve Kerr was not surprised, he even had a bright eye:
"Isn't this the five-small lineup that the Bobcats used in the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Cavaliers? I remember using it for the first time, and the effect was not good, but the second time it was used, it played a decisive role."
"In this game, Rivers dared to start with this style of play, and it seems that he should be sure."
The game had just started, and the Magic's offense hadn't started yet. Sparks used his thick right arm to separate Li Ke, and he was already ready to move.
That's right, he didn't want to play pick-and-roll anymore, and glanced at Li Ke beside him, he wanted to try singles in the low post or under the basket.
So, he waved his hand at Xiao Heidou, who was just about to play the No. [-] pick-and-roll tactic, and then shrank to the low position on the left.
While retracting, he also signaled Pietrus in the area on the left to pull away.
This means that it is necessary to empty the left side and play low singles after catching the ball.
Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines also frowned, and Little Black Bean didn't want to pass the ball too much.
But Little Black Bean's idea is useless, because the sparks do not cooperate at all. For the sake of the overall situation, he can only cooperate with the sparks instead.
As a result, the Magic changed their opening tactics, and Pietrus on the left quickly withdrew.
After emptying the area on the left, Sparks was able to easily take over the basketball from Xiao Heidou.
The actual height is about 2 meters, and Li Ke leans against Li Ke, whose actual height is close to 08 meters.
The gap of about 5 centimeters is actually negligible, and Huo Hua knows this too. He hugged the basketball with both hands, turned his head to glance at the basket, and at the same time glanced at Li Ke.
In the case of a small physical gap, Spark is still very confident.
He's a super center, Sheldon?An outside player dares to defend against a super center alone. Doesn't this teach him a lesson?
In the next second, Huo Hua's "lesson" began. He was very direct, he went straight to holding the ball with both hands, turned around in a simple and clear way, and then wanted to push Li Ke away and force the ball.
result……
"Oh my god, the confrontation inside is too fierce. Dwight Howard is taking off, and Sheldon is the same, but it seems that Sheldon's confrontation ability is better. He directly pressed Dwight Howard's layup!"
It is not accurate to say that it is pressed, because Li Ke failed to block the spark because of this ball.
Sparks still threw the ball out, but the ball had already been interfered by Li Ke, and it was impossible to get into the basket accurately.
Bang!
There was a dull sound of striking the iron, and the basketball hit the hoop and popped out, announcing the failure of Sparks' offensive.
The rebound was picked up by Hua Lao Er who arrived later and jumped up.
Immediately afterwards, the Bobcats launched a wave of overwhelming counterattacks...
The Magic's retreat is not slow, but the Bobcats' backcourt, sparks have been forced.
"Didn't I score the goal?"
"No, referee, that guy fouled!"
"Hey, Mr. Dan Crawford, Sheldon, he fouled!"
Dan Crawford shook his head, foul?If the scale is stricter, indeed, it is a foul.
But as an experienced referee in field control, he knew that the scale of the Bobcats-Magic game should not be too strict.
Because the Magic's defense is based on Spark alone.
If the penalty scale is too strict, the Bobcats will crazily attack the inside line. In the case of a uniform penalty scale, the Sparks may leave the game with six fouls in halftime.
After all, under strict penalty standards, even a little physical confrontation is a foul, just like Li Ke's spark-proof ball just now.
Facing the crazy impact of the opponent, Huo Hua's defense alone, it is also difficult to control not to foul...
Shaking his head and rejecting the chattering sparks, Dan Crawford really wanted to tell the other party: I ride the horse for your own good.
Sparks complained in the backcourt, and the Bobcats' counterattack in the frontcourt was already a success.
The second Hua pushed forward with the ball, and Curry took the lead, caught the ball and went to the basket, and made a light layup.
The Bobcats took a 2-0 lead.
At this time, Sparks was still in the backcourt, and he was ready to attack on the spot before he was about to foul.
In the backcourt, Magic power forward Rashard Lewis, who started today, passed the ball to Little Black Bean from the sideline.
Little Black Bean slowly advanced to the frontcourt, and the Magic's second wave of offense began.
Little Black Bean wants to play the pick and roll, because this is Stan Van Gundy's arrangement.
Sparks still shrank in the low position, he was very dissatisfied with the result of the first attack in the opening game, he thought it was an accident.
Or to be more precise, he was careless.
If given another chance...
emmm, there is no need to give it, he took it by himself and shrank in the low position. Xiao Heidou had no choice but to pass the ball in again.
On the sidelines, Stan Van Gundy was on the verge of going berserk.
He really wanted to call a timeout and give Sparks a hard reprimand.
But he held back, in order not to lose the position of the magic coach, he felt that the overall situation was the most important thing.
There is no sudden pause, only a spark of unforeseen singles again.
On the sidelines, Rivers, who was completely different from Stan Van Gundy, showed a smile, but deep down, he was also a little worried.
"Can Sheldon withstand the impact of Warcraft again?"
Completely different from the first wave of careless sparks, this time the cautious sparks tried to shake Li Ke away with a somewhat lame fake turn.
As a result, Li Ke didn't hesitate at all, he remained motionless and continued to stare at the basketball in Huo Hua's hands.
When Huo Hua turned around again and added a step back, Li Ke only moved forward slightly, taking a small half step.
He judged that this was still a fake move by Spark.
But it was this small half step that drove the spark to Liangshan.
"Turn around, take a step back, Dwight Howard wants to rush back to the basket, but Shelton has already stuck his back position, he can only shoot on the spot..."
Shooting on the spot, Sparks' post-up singles has turned into a close-range jumper.
The moment the basketball was shot, Li Ke immediately pressed up.
Clang!
Hearing the melodious sound of hammering iron behind his ears, Li Ke spat out a trash talk very directly: "It's easier to defend against you than that guy LeBron!"
Sparks question mark face, is this trash talk?
He didn't feel insulted.
Le Bon, who has already fished, may feel insulted.
In short, Li Ke's two waves of defense, as well as Stan Van Gundy's "pick-and-roll pick-and-roll" shouts on the sidelines, completely shattered Spark's idea of relying on low-post singles to break through Li Ke's single defense.
On the field, the Bobcats tried another wave of counterattacks, but this time they were not very successful.
But after entering the frontcourt, the Bobcats still seized the opportunity when the sparks failed to return to defense. Youhua's second child suddenly went to the basket and dunked the ball.
After two waves of defensive counterattacks, the Bobcats have already achieved a 4-0 lead.
Just then, the Magic's offense.
The sparks were raised again, and a wall was made for Xiao Heidou. After blocking and disassembling, the Bobcats directly switched defenses.
The small guy on the outside changed defense, and Curry met the sparks. With a pass from Xiao Heidou, the sparks that went down rolled over Curry, rushed to the near frame area, and made a successful throw.
"This ball shouldn't be changed like this!"
Chicago, Tom Thibodo stroked his chin.
At the scene in Charlotte, Rivers also noticed this.
Regarding the infinite switching of defenses, it is not mindless switching of defenses, but this wave is what we are talking about.
With five small lineups, Curry is still a defensive loophole for the Bobcats.
His existence makes the Bobcats have to use more power to make up for the defense on this side.
He is indispensable, because among the five small players, he is the most threatening scorer who can open up space.
The five small lineups and the space on the offensive end are still very important, because there are no big men to do wall pick-and-roll screens.
At this time, it is time for Tom Thibodeau's chain defense to play a role.
In the defensive wave just now, Rivers was very clear: "PJ, you should have leaned to the basket!"
On the sidelines, Rivers reminded in a low voice.
Tucker returned an OK gesture to indicate he received it.
In the offensive round of the Bobcats, Li Ke settled in the middle distance and relied on the counterpoint to defend Pietrus.
After receiving the ball, he turned around and hit the near frame area. Tucker dunked under the basket with the assist of a fake shot and a real pass.
Bobcats 6 to 2 Magic, continue to maintain the lead.
Immediately afterwards, another wave of attacks by the Magic.
Still sparks, a pick-and-roll from the outside, the Bobcats still switch defenses directly.
After the change, Curry didn't follow very closely, and the sparks went straight to the basket. As a result, Tucker pushed up.
Sparks' first reaction was that he was double-teamed, and he wanted to find the open teammate. After stopping, he found that Curry, who was defending him, had already withdrawn.
After switching defenses and then switching defenses, the Bobcats' five small lineups finally showed their glory.
"Facing a pick-and-roll, switch one first, wait until Dwight Howard rushes to the basket, then switch another one!"
"This wave of Bobcats defense is amazing!"
Under the basket, Sparks couldn't find a target to pass the ball to, so he had to do it himself.
I raised my hand to throw it, but it ended up being pushed up.
He couldn't throw it, so he shook it again, thinking about it.
At this time, the second child Hua clipped the past...
With a bang, the basketball was slapped hard from the side!
Groom Albert, who has been feeling the splendor of the Bobcats' defense, was stunned at this time.
"Gerald Wallace's sudden flank attack directly slapped the basketball away, and the Bobcats' defensive movement speed is too fast!"
Steve Kerr was also very excited: "This is the advantage of the five small lineups. The flexibility of the small players is not possessed by the big players. It is precisely because of these small players that they can achieve similar quick defense changes and fast pinch defenses..."
He seems to have discovered a new world. He originally had the idea of coming out to coach, but now he has a stronger idea.
