Chapter 95 Infinite Defense(1/2)
In the G3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the game was transferred to Charlotte.
The Bobcats wanted to get the match point in one go, but in this game, the Magic made the most critical adjustment in this round of the series.
"The Magic's offense, Aaron Brooks held the ball, he asked for a pick-and-roll, and the one who brought the cover was..."
"It's Dwight Howard?"
The spark is lifted with pick-and-roll cover, and the quality is even a little bit small.
The Bobcats' defense delays the first delay and return.
As a result, sparks went down, and Xiao Heidou immediately cut off the pass.
The spark received the ball and rushed to the near-frame area. With an unstoppable slash, he scored 2 points.
With this attack, the bobcat felt the threat.
Rivers reacted quickly and immediately changed the delayed return of the pick-and-roll to change the defense on the spot.
The result is still the same, because it is a human-to-people defense, Jordan Jr. has to pull out to face the position and watch the sparks.
As soon as the ball was held, the little black bean accelerated, he directly penetrated the Bobcat's defense line.
The comparison has to go down to the penalty area and carry the rest of the defense of other Bobcats players before they can send the ball into the spark of the basket.
Xiao Hei Dou, who can shoot at mid- and long distances, is obviously a greater threat.
Seeing this, Rivers had to change the defense back.
The defense of people who are targeting people has not changed, but the order of defense has changed only.
In the subsequent game, the Magic relied on this seemingly simple but actually extremely efficient pick-and-roll to tear the Bobcats' man-tagging defense.
Without the worries of killing Huo, Spark showed himself extremely excitedly.
Although he didn't want to see the spark burst, Rivers grabbed the timeout in his hand because the score did not open.
Until the first official timeout of the game, looking at the 14-17th, the visiting team Magic led by 3 points.
Rivers then made the first major adjustment in this game—
"We will change to joint defense!"
The advantage of joint defense is that Jordan can always stay in the penalty area, and it will be difficult for the spark to create any threat.
And the periphery, the Bobcats can use small ones to push the outside without threat. Facing the defense of pick-and-roll, it is difficult for small players who are single-clicking to wear defense against the Magic.
It can be said that joint defense against magic pick-and-roll should be the best way.
Of course, there are problems.
The problem is that if Magic is smart in the next game, they can increase the pick-and-roll to make it more diverse.
Since it is a joint defense formation, there will always be flaws and other things under more pick-and-roll attacks.
That's it. In the second half of the first quarter, the Bobcats changed their joint defense, which indeed restricted the spark.
But outside, Xiao Black Bean and Old Carters cooperated with substitutes to appear on the bench, and took the position nearby in the middle distance, giving another cover to the wall, Brandon Bass, and stole a lot of opportunities.
Coupled with the Bobcats' offense, Curry, who has been unstable in the rookie season, has become a little bit ironed in this game.
The burden of the offensive immediately hit Li Ke and Hua's second son.
Adding up the two sides, the G3 game became the most anxious game since the Eastern Conference Finals. The score at the end of the first quarter was 27 to 28, and the Bobcats who played at home were even 1 point behind.
In the second quarter, the anxiety continued, but it also happened unexpectedly.
Jamal Nelson, who came on the bench on the Magic, didn't know where to draw, and suddenly rushed in and made three three-pointers.
So much so that in the second half of the period, even if the Bobcat uses the tactic of killing Huo, the effect is pretty good.
At the end of the half, Rivers saw an extremely anxious score of 54 to 56.
Even the bobcats are still behind.
At the beginning of the second half, Curry, the main attacker, missed a series of shots and urgently handed over the main attacker to Li Ke.
Li Ke, who had been with the whole first half, got the ball again, scored points in a low post and continued to withstand the second half.
But the previous one left behind with less than 8 or 9 points in double digits was already ahead of the Bobcats.
Rivers was forced to start the attack on Huo early.
Strangely, when the score leads, Spark's free throws are no longer shaking.
In the first wave of killing Huo, the sparks standing on the free throw line made both free throws.
Rivers twitched the corners of his eyes and continued with a thorn in his teeth.
In the second wave of killing Huo, Sparks made one of two free throws.
Rivers saw hope and of course he had to continue.
As a result, in the third wave of Huo, Spark's free throws were hit by two free throws...
After a few waves, the score not only did not approach, but instead opened up.
"The Magic's chaos finally came into effect, the focus is Dwight Howard's position. He is willing to leave the penalty area and the low post, and the Magic's offensive space will be alive immediately."
"Of course, Dwight Howard's free throw suddenly became stable in this game was only one of the main reasons. The two waves of scoring in the first and second half did not achieve much effect."
"It seems that in Charlotte's away game, the Magic will win the first victory in the Eastern Conference Final."
After three quarters, the Magic maintained a lead of about 10 points.
In the fourth quarter, killing Huo was useless, and the Bobcats could rely on was still Li Ke's singles.
"Sheldon, with a turn, he directly passed Michael Pitrus, shot from mid-range... the ball entered!"
"The Bobcats' offense is Sheldon, who made a fake shot from the outside, shook Michael Pitrus away, accelerated to the three-point line, made a quick stop and jump shot... again!"
"On the right, Stephen Curry couldn't find a chance, so he could only pass the ball to Sheldon. In the middle distance, Sheldon made a fake breakthrough and a real shot, a step back... He is still scoring!"
“…”
In this way, in the fourth quarter, Li Ke beat himself into a lonely scorer.
Although he has been scoring, he has always been alone.
Let’s take a look at Magic, Little Black Bean, Old Carter, and Jamal Nelson, who is the substitute, and bloom more.
With one person to multiple people, there is no possibility of a reversal in this game.
In this way, in the G3 game, Stan Van Gundy successfully won a game with the change raised by sparks and the influence of many factors...
"The Magic Wins, away, they win one."
"Look at the Bobcats who returned to home and lost one game. The unstable Stephen Curry finally began to become unstable, and Gerald Wallace was also lost in the Warcraft's penalty area."
"Only Sheldon is left, he scored 44 points in this game, which is already a perfect personal performance."
"The Magic's defense can't limit him at all, but that's all."
"It's hard to beat multiple hands with two fists, and it's obvious that the Bobcats need a more stable No. 2 star."
...
Winning, beating, losing, and depreciating, has been the case since ancient times.
The Bobcats returned to their home court and lost the game, and North America immediately turned against each other.
Mike Bianchi, the Orlando Sentinels reporter who was criticizing Stan Van Gundy in the previous game, immediately turned around and blew Stan Van Gundy.
"Stan is a good coach because he knows his mistakes and can correct them because he is good at learning."
The reason for bragging is placed at the beginning, and then the specific analysis is made.
"In this game, we saw Dwight's promotion. He is no longer limited to the penalty area and the low post. Although his threat is pitiful on the periphery, at least, the Magic's penalty area and the low post area have been cleared, and the small players can gallop more calmly."
"The Bobcats' defense has been swaying, and Rivers can't figure out whether it is internal or external expansion."
"What's even better is that in the middle of the game, after Rivers took out joint defense, Stan immediately replaced Brandon Bass, double blocks, secondary cover, wing-free cover, etc., with a variety of pick-and-roll routines that directly shattered the Bobcats' defense..."
"If G1, the Magic lost in the coach's fighting, then G3, the Bobcats also lost in the coach's fighting."
In addition to the ones who played Stan Van Gundy, there were also those who played in this game, who scored 22 points, 19 points and 25 points, and those who played Old Carter and Jamal Nelson respectively.
The most successful outside players in this game are these three players. The three scored 66 points together, which is a bit like a little three-man.
If it is not enough to make people ask questions about Stan Van Gundy, the outside three giants who play magic.
The sparks make many people confused.
"Obviously, Dwight Howard's outbreak is the main reason why the Magic won a game away..."
"Stan Van Gundy should have taken his position long ago. Look at what he did after he is outside?"
"Look at his free throw..."
Skip Bayless talks about ESPN's post-match program.
But soon, he was interrupted by Bill Simmons, who also participated in the show.
"Free shot? Are you serious, Skip? As a professional player, isn't it appropriate to give him a free throw?"
To be continued...
