Chapter 375 [Enjoy the challenge and show exhaustion]
There are more people who are optimistic that the Bulls will win, and most of the people who hope that the Wizards will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals are people with feelings.
The Wizards' style of play can't attract many fans. They rely on more offensive points and physical strength to win. In the playoffs, no one can average 20 points per game.
On the other hand, the Bulls, now even Jordan's son is a McGrady fan, and his posters are hanging at home.
After the first game of the regular season, Jordan gave McGrady the sneakers and signed them with the phrase "enjoy the challenge, good luck and health".This is not only a favored appreciation, but also like a sympathy between heroes.
On May 5, the Wizards were full at home, but the atmosphere was inferior to other teams.Even if the Wizards played well and returned to the home court, the fans neither uniformly dressed nor in high spirits.However, the influx of some Bulls fans is very conspicuous.
Yang Rui said in an interview that the Wizards are not the devil's home court, and they are a little dissatisfied with the atmosphere of the home team.This is the second round of the playoffs, and the sound of fans is really important for the home team to play.But unless there is a wonderful dunk, the uncles at home will not applaud more than three times, and it seems that they only watch the fourth quarter.
In order to change this situation, Yang Rui suggested that Jeff Hornacek should not wear a suit and sit on the player's bench in casual clothes.
After arriving at the scene, Hornacek asked: "I changed my clothes, so don't sell it. Why do you think I'm the reason why the fans don't cheer? What's the use of changing clothes?"
"I think it's useful. My buddy Tom was watching the ball that day. He sat a little far away from the opposite side. He thought you were Bush Jr. throughout the game. Maybe the fans couldn't let go because of this."
"..." Hornacek covered his face with one hand.
CCTV5 broadcasted the game live, and before the game, in order to attract fans, Tracy McGrady's wonderful goals were broadcast.
Zhang Lili looked at the collection and sighed: "McGrady jumped too high, others are dunking with a flat head, and his head is almost flat for a jump shot. Who can block?"
Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "Maddy is more like Jordan's successor than Carter now. He can not only score high, but also play very beautifully."
McGrady brought the technique of dry-pulling jump shots to the extreme. Bell and Hamilton were useless for close defense. People less than two meters tall couldn't even close their eyes when they jumped up. Jordan and Maggette's main defense would be passed by him again. The only person who can put pressure on McGrady is Gerald Wallace.
At this time, the Wizards management was particularly glad that Wallace was traded in the summer. He is very comprehensive on the defensive end, with strength, speed, and bounce. He is a player who can defend positions 1 to 5 and never lacks enthusiasm.
The players came out after the warm-up.Wizards starting: David Wesley, Hamilton, Maggette, Marshall, Leonard.
Bulls starting: Lynch - Hunter, McGrady, Artest, Brand, Lonnie - Baxter.
Brand jumps over Leonard and the game begins.
The Bulls attacked, and the ball went to McGrady.The Wizards are in a 122-zone defense formation, Wesley and Hunter, and the other four are shrinking to the penalty area, and the periphery is one-on-one defense.
McGrady faced Hamilton on the right, pulled a three-pointer, and hit the first shot. 0 to 3.
D'Antoni sat next to Yang Rui and asked worriedly, "I don't arrange for someone to take special care of McGrady. What if he feels hot today?"
"Then let him score 50 points to prevent others from dying. What we have to do in the early stage is to consume his physical strength and withstand it." Yang Rui smiled.
Yang Rui's confidence comes from his vision. He firmly believes that Maddie is already strong from the outside, and even if he is fierce, he will not have enough staying power.
Thibodeau let Tracy McGrady kill the Quartet in the playoffs, but at the same time, he has already planted hidden dangers. McGrady played too much time. In the playoffs, he played an average of 43 minutes per game. Generally, he only had a rest in the second quarter, and the second half was full.
In Yang Rui's previous life, McGrady led the Magic against the Pistons. After a 3-1 lead, he was bored. Prince's single defense limited him, so he became famous.Although he had a back injury factor at the time, physical strength was also a factor.
Now, McGrady has played one more game than Yang Rui's previous life, and he was exhausted when he played.
The tactics arranged by Yang Rui were prepared for McGrady.Maggette is strong, Thibodeau asked Artest to defend, and McGrady had to defend Hamilton.
Maggette's appearance can also limit Artest's empty cuts and counterattacks. The Wizards have suffered losses in this regard before, and it is suitable for strong men to defend against strong men.
The Wizards attacked, Hamilton kept moving, no one gave him a screen, Wesley played a pick-and-roll with Leonard in the middle, attacked with the ball, attracted Brand and passed the ball to the middle after switching defense, Leonard did not shoot, and responded Find teammates.
Marshall also started running with Baxter, not covering and cooperating.
This kind of movement is difficult to create an empty space, and it is not a dislocation. Few coaches arrange it this way, consuming players' physical strength in vain.Yang Rui's arrangement of hitting the bulls is a killer.
Hamilton ran directly, and McGrady had to follow when no one switched defenses. How long can a person with spondylitis compete with a person with unlimited physical strength for a marathon?
Baxter is a heavy insider weighing 117 kilograms. Judging from his size, he is a fat man and has poor running ability.Marshall is still at his peak, having practiced with the Jazz for two years, and his game is iron-blooded.
With 24 seconds to go, Leonard passed the ball to Marshall, who had stunned Baxter, made a jumper from the right three-point line, and made a three-pointer. 3 to 3.
The Bulls attacked, McGrady caught the ball and dribbled two steps, but did not get rid of Hamilton, and gave the lob to Brand on the left.
The Wizards blocked the penalty area, and Brand turned to the baseline in the low-post single against Leonard but couldn’t move away. After all, he was only 203cm tall, and Leonard was 213cm, so he couldn’t make a shot if he didn’t pass, so he distributed the ball to the outside.
Hunter relied on Baxter to cover and get rid of Wesley to catch the ball. Marshall stood a step and a half in front of him. Hunter did not shoot, nor did he dare to break through with the ball, and passed it to Baxter.
Wesley chased the defender and Marshall retreated, not giving the Bulls a chance to dislocate the singles.
Baxter passed the ball to Brand, Laettner also defended in place, interfered near the penalty area, Brand turned and hit the rebound, Leonard grabbed the rebound.
In the Wizards positional battle, Wesley slowly led the half court, controlling the rhythm, no one came up to double-team, he did not pass the ball, and he guarded his back to observe the movement of his teammates.
Hamilton and Marshall followed the route they usually practiced, running non-stop without looking for cover.Wesley passed Marshall first, the latter passed to Hamilton, but there was still no chance, and Hamilton passed the ball to the middle.
Before 24 seconds were used up, Leonard emptied the ball to catch the ball, relied on his height advantage to face Brand's throw, the ball bounced out of the box, and Artest grabbed the rebound.
Although the defense was down, Yang Rui's tactics gave the Bulls a headache. Thibodeau could see his intentions clearly, but it was a conspiracy and it was not easy to deal with.
The Raptors, which were rebuilt in 99, eliminated the defending champion Knicks by virtue of their running position and physical advantage. In 2000 and 2002, the Lakers were killed again, and now the Wizards want to kill the Bulls.
Thibodeau and the assistant coach discussed countermeasures. The zone defense is a lazy method, but in the first game, the Wizards broke the zone defense, Jordan did not play, and the Wizards did not lack pitchers!
The Bulls attacked, McGrady broke through with the ball and was snuggled by Hamilton and passed to Artest, the right bottom corner. The latter broke through after feinting, and used strength to storm Maggette.
After several passes, Hunter missed a jumper from the perimeter and felt sloppy. Marshall grabbed the rebound and held it in his arms, and the rhythm slowed down again.
PS: The last chapter modified some content, and Kidd entered for a while.It is normal for Carter not to make the third team. Eighth in the Eastern Conference, the team barely made it to the playoffs, and the data is not as good as Pierce.
Next, Jerry will use tactics to make up for the lack of player experience, ask for a monthly pass, ask for support!
