Chapter 107 107. Self-Defeating?
Chapter 107 107. Self-defeating?
Running and bombing, it’s not that no one has played in the NBA. The old Nelson of the Mavericks did it, but the record is very miserable, 20 wins a year, the fifth from the bottom did not get the top three picks, and even only got the sixth pick. The draft picks obtained were used to trade Nowitzki. In the second year, he won 19 wins, eighth from the bottom. This year was a shrinking year, and he helped the Timberwolves choose Szczerbiak.
After that, old Nelson also resigned to his fate. Although he still liked to make some moths, he was generally playing the basketball with a balanced offense and defense that he succeeded in the 1970s and 1980s, and the development of running and bombing stopped because of this.
But who would have thought that running and bombing appeared again now! And it's a bit different from running and bombing.
The Mavericks' bombardment is based on a point guard with a historical level of organizational ability, while the Eagles are completely blind. One of the two guards hits the basket and the other shoots the ball. However, these two guys are very fast. Shooting is very accurate.
That is to say, these two are the only ones who are running and shooting for the Eagles, and the other three players are strikers with excellent physical fitness from 2.03 to 2.06 meters. Rebounding is the second attack. From this aspect, the Eagles’ play is definitely not a run and gun. Coach Kruger saw this when he heard Liu Mang say this tactic, so he gave it a new name.
The Blazers were brought up by the Eagles unconsciously and followed suit.
You can't run away! You can't just watch the opponent fast break!
And the Eagles' style of play is simply enough, no matter how effective the defensive end is, whether the Blazers score or not, it's just speeding up anyway! As long as the Blazers don't return to defense in advance, they will keep speeding up.
What can the pioneers do, run!
The Blazers' three outside lines actively returned to defense, and the two inside lines had to run! Rasheed Wallace's rebounds are not good at all. The year with the highest offensive rebounds per game did not exceed two. It was still a game when the Wizards rookie who was still called the Washington Bullets played as a substitute. An average of 1.9 offensive rebounds. In terms of rebounds, I mainly rely on defensive rebounds. If I don’t run back and get defensive rebounds, I won’t be able to grab one or two rebounds in this game. When the Hawks’ main striker is on the field, the rebounds are not his turn. , the Eagles averaged 28 rebounds per game before starting the league!
Raheem averaged 10.6 rebounds per game, Muhammad averaged 11 rebounds per game, and Ratliff averaged 7 rebounds per game! The three treasures of the frontcourt that the Eagles depend on for survival.
After the first quarter, the Eagles led 26 to 19 by 7 points!
In the last five minutes of the first quarter, the Eagles played a wave of 17 to 4!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles continued to go crazy, which made the Blazers very confused. This year, the Suns have not run like a wind and have the best record in the league, and Popovich has not developed a special restraint running and bombing tactic. style of play.
Popovich also started to pay attention to running and bombing after he played against the Suns in the Western Conference Finals in 2005. In those years, the Spurs basically dared to say that they could win the Suns. It was completely overwhelmed by the Spurs. In the playoffs, the Suns were able to reach the Western Conference finals in 2005, and they also made it to the second round in 2007. They tied the Spurs 2-2. Their strength cannot be denied. powerful.
Before Popovich figured out a way to target the Suns, there was really no defensive precedent for this epoch-making style of play. Coach Cheeks wanted to replace Dale Davis, enhance the height of the inside, and force the Eagles to put Ratliff. If it is replaced, the Eagles will have no way to continue running and playing.
Consuming the physical energy of the opponent inside, you can't care whether your center can keep up, right?
However, when Cheeks saw the lineup that the Hawks came up with, his stomach hurt.
Do something!
The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Raheem, and Leon Smith!
Leon Smith, a rookie of the Spurs in 1999, was also a rookie in high school, but after being selected, this guy regretted it, saying that he didn't want to play in the NBA for the time being, and went to college, but he guessed that he was stupid in studying and didn't know how to participate in professional sports. After the draft, he could no longer play in the NCAA. As a result, he wasted two years, and the Spurs didn't want him anymore. Finally, the Eagles came.
Physical fitness is excellent, otherwise high school students would not have entered the first round, but they missed the most important time of the two years when they were eighteen or nineteen. They were signed by the Eagles this year and got their first chance to play.
Leon Smith has been quite famous in the past two years. The main reason is that he forgot about being unable to play in the NCAA after participating in the NBA.
Poor technology? It doesn't matter, just run along and hit the offensive rebound with your physical fitness.
It really compares to physical fitness. Among these people on the field, except for Raheem who may have an advantage in flexibility, no one is really comparable to Leon Smith. This guy graduated from high school and participated in the draft because of his physical fitness and entered the first round.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry had a great fight. As the spearheads of the cavalry, you voted one and the other voted. The two really looked more and more pleasing to each other.
Seeing that the score came to 25 to 35, which was more than ten points, Coach Cheeks gritted his teeth and called a timeout, replacing Dale Davis and not changing another big insider, Rainman Kemp, he resigned to his fate.
It is not difficult for Coach Cheeks to guess that Coach Kruger is forcing him to replace the two players with the strongest ability to protect the basket!
Seeing the call from the opposite side, Coach Kruger smiled, and the strategy was a success!
Coach Kruger replaced the strongest lineup with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff. He is not afraid that the opponent will not replace the big and tall ones, as long as the timeout comes back The opponent didn't make a substitution, so he immediately called a timeout.
What a simple and kind coach Kruger, now he is also imitating badly!
"Ace, set the position, you know how to play, Jason, you open the space, Sherif, be ready to receive Ace's pass at any time..." Coach Kruger made tactical arrangements, mainly three outside lines, offensive The point is here, grabbing rebounds inside and being ready to catch the ball and dunk directly at any time, the two offensive ends of the Eagles have so much role.
Jason Terry didn't have any complaints about being a pitcher who opened up the space. The main reason was that he was almost exhausted from running for the past ten minutes. Fortunately, the opposite side was forced to change, otherwise it would be hard to say How can I play.
What Jason Terry didn't understand the most about Liu Mang was how this kid could run so well without panting, kept running, and was so energetic!
Back from the timeout, the Blazers' main players had almost rested, and there were 7 minutes left in the second quarter. Originally, their main players shouldn't have come back so early, and the rotation lineup should have played a little longer, but there was no way! The point difference is 10 points, so the next half will become garbage time? As a team that only made it to the Western Conference Finals two years ago, shame on you!
The Trail Blazers' lineup became Flying Squirrel, Ruben Patterson, Pippen, Bunche Wells, and Rasheed Wallace.
The Blazers were forced to use a small lineup, but the Hawks were not afraid. As they expected, even if the lineup became brisk, the Blazers still maintained a slow pace.
Little Flying Squirrel pushed forward, and Liu Mang immediately posted it.
Rasheed Wallace and Bunche Wells opened up the space, and the little flying mouse stuck to the defensive Liu Mang and rushed to the basket!
The Blazers are also thinking about it, so let's beat Ratliff's inability to guard against it!
After the little flying mouse rushed to the three-second zone, he scored the corner of the ball!
Rasheed Wallace received the ball and made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, stopping the bleeding for the Blazers.
It's accurate!
"Rashid Wallace, ability value 83, offense 79, defense 84, three-point shooting 80..."
Excellent 3D big man!
If it is placed fifteen years later, it will be at least 25 million a year!
Rasheed Wallace was not comfortable playing in the previous games of this season. The new coach prefers to arrange twin towers inside.
Immediately after the eagle's Liu Mang and Raheem's pick-and-roll, the floater missed, and Raheem turned around and made another three-pointer.
Seeing Rasheed Wallace's feeling of playing, Liu Mang felt that it was very inappropriate. Although they like the current rhythm, the opponent has no support inside, and it is easier for them to attack the basket, but they can't stand Rasheed Wallace like this. Vote!
Since it’s not posted in the middle of the month, it’s probably on the 1st. Continue to code and try to write more chapters today. I ran out of manuscripts during the few days when I was hospitalized with my throat collapsed.
The last nonsense, even if it is on the shelves on the 1st, there will be two updates every day during the few days at the end of the month. Xiaofeng doesn't care about the number of free words.
