Chapter 290

Timeout, Clippers bench.

Van Gundy held a tactical board in his hand and said to Su Yang and the others: "According to the results of our pre-match video analysis and past experience, the Mavericks will definitely strengthen a wave of defense after the timeout is over. The specific defensive strategy is almost certainly 23 defenses , As for offense, most of them will execute fast break counterattacks on the basis of defense..."

Su Yang and the others nodded in response. The Mavericks have always had the habit of fast break, which was established as early as the old Nelson era. As for the defensive end, the use of zone defense is a way to forcibly make up for the Mavericks' defensive deficiencies after Carlisle settled in.

Van Gundy continued: "So, they may set off a wave of scoring climax. At that time, everyone does not need to panic. It is the result of their sacrifice of physical strength. For their veteran lineup, it may not be profitable.

Everyone knows that the game will last for 48 minutes. Let's take it easy with them and see their cards. "

Su Yang and the others nodded to show their understanding, and Van Gundy emphasized a few small details, followed by the whistle.

The timeout ended and the game continued. The announcer loudly announced the rotation of the two teams: for the Clippers, Gordon replaced Su Yang; for the Mavericks, Terry replaced DeShawn Stevens and Brian Cardinal Replace Nowitzki.

George sat next to Su Yang, looked at the direction of the Mavericks' bench, and said in surprise: "It seems that they are not in a hurry. At this time, they actually chose to arrange the top scorer in the team to rest. He is still a not very good substitute. "

Su Yang followed George's gaze and saw that Brian Cardinal was tucking his jersey into his pants. He immediately realized that Cardinal was too good, and immediately smiled: "His main task is to let Dirk rest. a few minutes..."

Cardinal is a typical substitute player. He is willing to do dirty work. He even got the nickname "administrator" because of the tedious work of cleaning the field and pumping up the basketball. He also has a strong style of play and saves the ball outside It can be called a must.

George shrugged slightly: "Then we have to remind Zach, let him grab Cardinal and hit..."

Su Yang smiled and didn't answer, the referee blew his whistle, and the Mavericks kicked off the ball from the backcourt.

Kidd took the ball and ran to the right wing of the front court, aimed sideways at Davis, patted and waited from a distance.

A moment later, Terry lifted from the right end of the free throw line, received the ball at the top of the arc, and turned left.Chandler went up to the wall to cover at the same time, and Jordan hurried up to delay, but Terry stopped the brakes and raised his hand to pass the ball back.

Kidd received the ball from the right wing, turned around and divided the right corner Marion.At the same time, Chandler took the opportunity to cut and attack the basket.

Seeing this situation, Randolph hurriedly searched and defended from the left corner, and Jordan also hurriedly turned back to catch up.

Just coming and going like this, only Terry and Gordon are left in the top area of ​​the arc, which is a perfect singles environment.

Marion raised his hand for a long pass, and Terry received the ball at the top of the arc, immediately lowered his center of gravity, and started to accelerate facing the basket.

Gordon stepped back and retreated continuously, Terry suddenly stopped and pulled up, and raised his hand to score two long points.

Boom!After the basketball hit, the basket went into the net, 17 to 11.

"What do you think is the problem with this defense?" Su Yang asked.

George frowned and thought for a moment, then touched his chin and said, "Shouldn't DeAndre delay the grab earlier?"

Su Yang shook his head: "Davis should give proper physical confrontation. Kidd's second pass was too easy, which caused Marion and Chandler to form a pass and cut opportunity. The chain reaction caused Randolph to switch defenses and fill positions, which also caused attention. Dispersed..."

George opened his mouth slightly in surprise: "Are there so many details? You're not lying to me, are you?"

Su Yang chuckled: "You have to learn this well, otherwise, even if you form a team with a top single-defense small forward, a high-level defensive point guard, and other players with good defense, you will still be played by passing the ball. You have to defend everywhere."

George frowned: "You seem to be hinting? Who is the top single-defense small forward?"

"You will know sooner or later..." Su Yang smiled, turned his head and continued to pay attention to the situation on the court.

At this time, Gordon dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand and made a long pass to the right sideline.

Tucker received the ball and held it high for observation, and Randolph followed to move to the right waist, making it clear that he had to cooperate with the pass.

The Mavericks shifted accordingly, quietly resorting to a 23-zone defense formation, and Marion and Terry fanned Tucker.

Chandler also made frequent interference from the waist position, and Randolph didn't have an easy chance to catch the ball for a while.

Tucker hesitated for a while, turned around and passed the ball back to the top of the arc.

As soon as Gordon received the ball, Kidd approached with small steps, and Terry also gave up Tucker and slowly walked towards the top of the arc.

Faced with such a typical zone defense move, Gordon turned around decisively and put the ball straight to the left wing.

Davis received the ball wide open, ignoring Cardinal's extremely slow footsteps, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

when!The basketball hit the back basket, rebounded and fell.

Randolph jumped up, collided with Marion in the air, and the basketball fell into Chandler's hands.

"Retreat, retreat..." Van Gundy shouted from the sidelines, and the Clippers quickly retreated.

The Mavericks launched a counterattack, and Kidd slowly advanced with the ball, and it took a full five seconds to reach the top of the frontcourt arc.

Marion ran to the wall to screen, but Kidd ignored it and threw the ball to the right wing.

Terry received the ball, kept his eyes on the basket, shrugged his shoulders and stepped forward, looking like he was about to start a breakthrough, but when Marion got stuck on the right waist, he immediately passed the ball and threw it quickly. Open and pull space.

The situation on the field suddenly turned into a post-up single by Marion, and the Clippers were still a little uncomfortable.After all, Marion's influence on people is either rushing fast breaks or stealing the bottom line. Post-up singles are really strange.

Just as the Clippers shrunk to intercept the passing route, Terry twisted his hips and changed course, strode into the paint area, and with the help of Chandler's cover, he quickly shifted to the left.Gordon gave chase and was about to slip around cover when Chandler shoved him down.

"Foul, foul!" Su Yang stood up and shouted.

George also stood up and raised his hands and shouted, but his face was full of confusion, and he didn't know what happened.

The referee ignored it, and Marion turned around and started, kicked twice into the paint area, and raised his hand to pass the ball to the left.

I saw the basketball fly from the inside to the outside, accurately flying to the 45-degree three-point line, and Terry caught the ball and made a quick shot.

The basketball passed Gordon's fingertips and went into the net with a bang. The Mavericks scored 5 points in a row and chased 14-17.

"This is outrageous!" Su Yang yelled at the referee, "Don't push people call a foul?"

The video was broadcast on the large central screen at the same time, and it was obvious that Chandler raised his hand and exerted force.

Boos suddenly resounded throughout the arena, and the referee pretended that nothing had happened, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

The matter has come to this point, so I have to admit it.

The Clippers continued to attack, Davis took the ball and ran to the right wing, stopped to observe for a while, and suddenly lobbed a pass to the left.

Gordon took off from the waist to catch the ball, pulled the ball on the ground and turned around, passed Terry in an instant, and made a strong breakthrough from the bottom line.

This time there was no warning for a sneak attack, but the Mavericks still activated the 23 zone defense, and Cardinal stepped forward to make up for the defense.

Facing the obstruction of the big man, Gordon did not hesitate, and continued to sprint with heavy shoulders.

But the three of the Mavericks shrank to the inside, and Gordon had no choice but to stop and turn around.

At this time, because the Mavericks team contracted to encircle, Davis got a super wide open space on the right wing.

Gordon didn't think much about it. He raised his hand and hit the ground to pass the ball, and the basketball leaped away from the gap between the crowd.

Then I thought, Marion had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he cut it in half, and snatched the basketball away.

The situation on the court changed suddenly, Marion rushed with the ball, and the rest of the Mavericks followed up.

The Clippers were in a hurry to find someone to chase, and the defensive formation was in chaos. For a while, no one was defending Marion who was holding the ball.

Fortunately, Marion is not good at making an emergency stop and chasing for a three-pointer. He also took the initiative to stop the ball to find someone, and the rhythm suddenly slowed down.

Terry hurried up to respond, while Tucker, who was in charge of defense, tried to steal the first step.

At that time, Marion stopped the hand-off action and waited until Terry stood firm before giving the ball again.

Terry took the ball and rushed in. Tucker was too late to defend because of a steal and lost his position. Jordan chose to supplement the defense and intercept.

But Terry gave up the storm and passed the ball back to Marion who was cutting to the basket, and Gordon shrank and intercepted from the short corner.Marion split the ball without hesitation, the unguarded Cardinal took the ball and dunked, and Jordan swooped in from behind to block the shot.

boom!The basketball blasted into the net, and the referee blew his whistle at the same time, calling Jordan for a foul on the cylinder.

"Wooo..." The audience booed again, but this time the foul call was fine.

Su Yang turned to look at George: "If you were in Gordon's situation just now, how would you deal with it?"

George frowned and thought for a while, and said after a while: "I will pass the ball to Tucker at 45 degrees to the left, because Tucker also had an open space at the time, and Tucker's three-point shooting rate is very high, so there is no need to take a big risk to make a half-court Cross."

Su Yang nodded: "What you're talking about is post-event recovery. The correct way of thinking is not to worry after receiving the pass. Even if you want to grab the time, you must observe the defensive position. The Mavericks use 23 zone defense, which is very good at protecting the basket. Even if you use a breakthrough It is best to choose to go up the line, because it is too easy to get trapped in the bottom line, and it is difficult to score and pass the ball.”

George nodded again and again and asked thoughtfully: "Then according to what you said, the core reason for the loss of points just now should be that Byron was too impatient in organizing the offense. The correct way of thinking is to slow down the tempo and use the pass to pull the zone defense. Formation."

"Yes, you also need to learn some organizational skills, which will benefit us both..."

On the court, Cardinal added a free throw, and the Mavericks played a wave of 8-0 to tie the score.

The big screen in the center showed Van Gundy, and some spectators on the sidelines yelled for a timeout, and Van Gundy looked calm.

It is expected that the Mavericks will set off a scoring climax. Everything is under control, and they can also hone their ability to resist pressure.

Offensive and defensive transition, Gordon dribbled the ball to the top of the arc.

After some horoscope transmission, Davis took the ball at 45 degrees to the left, and Jordan went up to the wall to cover.At the same time, Gordon rushed into the paint, moved to the left from the baseline, and went straight to the bottom corner, while the Mavericks still maintained a 23-zone defense formation.

But in order to maintain the 23-zone defensive formation, Chandler stayed on the bottom line and did not run out to delay. In addition, he wanted to take care of the high pick-and-roll, and Terry stayed in the high position and did not chase Gordon. Marion could only move in. Shorten Tucker for now.

Seeing this situation, Davis started and moved to the top of the arc, raised his hand and threw the ball to the right wing.

Tucker received the ball, and Marion hurriedly played it back.One of the two rushed in, the other rushed out, and passed each other.

The rest of the Mavericks quickly surrounded, Tucker stopped and jumped in the paint area, and threw the ball to the left corner.

Gordon, who was in place in advance, raised his hand to catch the ball, took advantage of the trend to cross the start and walk the bottom line, and rushed to the basket.

The Mavericks made another three-man encirclement, but this time, Gordon was well prepared. He jumped high and threw the ball to the middle.At the same time, Jordan, who had completed the screen of the wall, opened the inside cut, reached out to receive the pass, took two steps in a row, and dunked in the air.

Boom!The basketball went into the net, 19 to 17.

Cheers broke out in the arena, and the audience excitedly celebrated the Clippers' first score in 2 minutes.

Su Yang looked at George and asked, "What do you think is the Mavericks' defensive problem this time?"

George thought for a moment and said, "They shouldn't forcefully stick to the 23-zone defensive formation, it's too rigid."

Su Yang said: "Well, what you are talking about is the result. The root cause is the lack of communication between Marion and Chandler. If they communicate in advance, Chandler can switch defenses and delay Gordon a little bit, and Marion doesn't have to shrink inside."

"It should be that the team has just been formed and there is still a lack of tacit understanding." George said.

As soon as the words fell, the referee blew his whistle and punished Cardinal for a screen violation, and the ball was transferred to the Clippers.

Carlisle looked upset, then calmed down, seeming to realize that the referee was blowing the balance whistle.After all, it was an irrefutable misjudgment that Chandler's screen pushed to Gordon's foul before, and the Mavericks had already taken advantage of 3 points.

In the transition between offense and defense, Davis dribbled the ball to the left wing, and directly used the double screen of Randolph and Jordan to go in.

Carlisle shouted a reminder from the sidelines that the Mavericks will temporarily abandon the zone defense and adopt the basic defense delay.

In the blink of an eye, Davis hit the right end of the free throw line, misplaced to face Chandler, stopped and raised his hand to try.Chandler didn't hesitate, Davis stopped and turned to the left, while Jordan and Randolph continued to set up the wall as a screen.

Tucker took the opportunity to go around, stopped at 45 degrees to the left, raised his hand to receive the pass, and shot a three-pointer.

when!After the basketball hits the basket, it hits the iron.

Marion catches the rebound, lands and pushes forward.

Kidd received the ball from the center line, started running wildly, and rushed to the top of the arc in just over a second.

The Clippers retreated quickly, but they paid too much attention to Kidd, and three people surrounded him.

Kidd seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and suddenly threw the ball 45 degrees to the right, and Chandler just caught the ball and rushed to the basket.

At this time, Jordan was still on the three-point line, and Randolph hurriedly retracted and intercepted, but his pace was a little slow.

Seeing this, Gordon moved laterally from the short corner on the left to intercept, but he could only temporarily empty Cardinal.

Chandler immediately raised his hand to pass the ball. Cardinal received the ball without any hesitation, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball hit the circle and entered the net, and the Mavericks overtook again.

Van Gundy got up and asked for a timeout. At this time, there were 3 minutes and 05 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

Su Yang got up and walked to the technical stage, feeling in his heart that the Mavericks getting Chandler was a match made in heaven. For the fast break just now, neither Dampier nor Heywood could achieve the same effect, and there was only a one-year contract.

The Clippers returned to the bench one by one, and Su Yang interacted with them by high-five, all kinds of words of encouragement.

Van Gundy picked up the tactical board and said calmly: "OK, they performed very well just now, and it's our turn to show some cards. Jermaine, I need you to take the ball in a high position to support, connect with Randolph, and blow them up ..."
