Chapter 184
Chapter 184
It took more than 9 minutes to score 12 points. Liu Mang felt that the Pistons were insane. If this insane team got together with a certain insane head coach, it would be heartwarming. Fortunately, the Pistons The team owner and a certain oily man on the South Coast have been at odds for a long time, and they have been at odds since the late 1980s. If they really got together, Stern would hire a murderer.
The Pistons were chased by Raheem. Coach Carlisle was thinking about the stability of the offense. This offensive rhythm is too disgusting. The stronger the opponent, the slower the rhythm. He emphasized that defense is right, but if the Pistons do not attack They have no way to beat the Eagles, because their offense is too miserable. The entire team has only two players averaging double figures per game, and the Eagles have three at any rate.
And although the Pistons are second in the league in rebound protection, second only to the Lakers, the Eagles rank first in the league in backcourt rebounds. Having more backcourt rebounds means they can play a lot of fast breaks. The pace is fast, and if I really want to bear it, it will be difficult to win.
Michael Curry controlled the ball near the three-point line and passed the ball to Chris Williams in the top corner of the left three-second zone. As a screen, Stackhouse uses Michael Curry's screen to throw off Liu Mang and rush out, Chris Williams points the ball to a 45-degree angle, Stackhouse catches the ball and makes a three-pointer...
This tactic of the Pistons was considered very successful. Stackhouse caught the ball and made an open shot, but he missed the shot. He clicked the ball in the air while bouncing, delaying the Eagles' defensive counterattack.
Drag the rhythm to death! The closer you get to the peak, the stronger the tempo-dragging power in the Big Ben field.
The Eagles had no choice but to play half-court. Liu Mang pushed forward and had to hit the Pistons' half-court defense. The Pistons restricted Raheem's catch. Jason Terry was blind when he caught it. Jason Terry's speed and strength are not intimidating to Jason Terry. Although the inside opponent does not have a height advantage, Ben Wallace is too deterrent inside and can't get in. He tried a pick-and-roll before and it didn't work.
Then hit hard!
Liu Mang started dribbling singles against Stackhouse, and the effect of the third level of ball control master was obvious. Liu Mang dribbled continuously under the crotch, killing Stackhouse's patience.
"Come on, steal me. I don't handle the ball very well. Do you want to steal one? I'll give you this ball. You seemed to average 30 points per game last season. How many points are you scoring this year? It's pathetic. You lost three points." One of the scores, oh, by the way, your math is not very good, I will teach you, math, you have to start learning from addition and subtraction..."
Liu Mang's mouth was like a cannonball, and he kept talking non-stop. Stackhouse had already learned from the circle of top scorers that this rookie's trash talk was getting worse. Coach Carlisle scolded him for being out of position. He endured it. He taunted him that his score dropped by nearly 10 points. He also endured it until he taunted him about mathematics.
You Chinese are amazing at mathematics! You bloody profiteer! As for why Stackhouse scolded Liu Mang as a profiteer, it all started when he met a Chinese businessman last time...
Stackhouse couldn't bear it anymore, Iverson made a rush!
But Stackhouse's stealing ability and stealing oppression can't be compared with Iverson. Iverson has won a lot of votes in the best defensive player voting in the past few years. The opponent accelerates the breakthrough step by step!
Stackhouse's speed is not slow either, with an ability value of 84 and a speed of 89. After losing his position, he immediately starts to rush back...over the top again!
Liu Mang stopped abruptly and took a step back! It completely threw Stackhouse away by more than one meter! Stackhouse wanted to turn around and defend back, but he couldn't control his center of gravity at all, and fell to the ground!
After Liu Mang withdrew, he shot with a sniper!
Perfect timing! The sharpshooter triggers, and the three-pointer hits hollow!
Immediately there was loud booing at the scene, and I don't know whether it was booing Stackhouse, who was almost halfway through the season, or being unable to integrate into the defense like other teammates, or booing Liu Mang, probably both.
But the non-Pistons fans in front of the TV are different. American fans tend to rant occasionally, and they can yell loudly in front of the TV!
Eliminate harm for the people!
Just like many playoff teams that have no obvious advantage over the Pacers when they meet the Pacers, all teams in the league, especially the strong teams, will be tortured by the opponent's damn defense and want to cry when they meet the Pistons. They were all grinding their teeth, Liu Mang's ball directly hit the opponent's player. To non-Pistons fans, it seemed that he was doing harm for the people!
15 to 8, the point difference came to 7 points! Coach Carlisle couldn't help calling a timeout!
...
Needless to say, Coach Kruger didn't realize that when he met the Pistons, he really had a certain inherent advantage.
When Raheem is on the court, the opponent's interior will inevitably build a defense like an iron barrel to defend against Raheem. Then if there is a guard with strong singles ability and high shooting accuracy on the outside, it will suddenly become easy to play. too much.
Jason Terry averages 21 points per game, but he is not so suitable for this role. He is good at strong shots, but he can't complete singles like Liu Mang. He either shoots directly with the ball, or organizes an offense and dribbles Singles is not as good as Liu Mang.
But Jason Terry, Raheem, and Liu Mang, the three of them complement each other almost perfectly! An outside ball-handling singles eagle, a catch wave throwing eagle, and a short-range singles eagle.
Of course, this is why the Pistons' system has but not two top defensive perimeters.
But at this stage, the three eaglets of the Eagles are playing together, so they are really not afraid of the Pistons!
The Eagles continue to emphasize scoring. The defense has been integrated into the bones, and the opponent's offensive players are really bad inside. Just Chris Williams is a frontcourt player who averages double figures per game, and Stackhouse is the outsider. , although there are also Chucky Atkins and Clifford Robinson who can average double figures per game, but if they can't play it, it means nothing.
Coach Carlisle is very tired.
Such a good talent lineup, but just can't play the desired offensive and defensive balance game.
After playing more than 10 minutes, the opponent only scored 15 points. This is an excellent defense. This shows that the Pistons' defensive tactics against the Eagles really worked. The Eagles averaged 104 points per game this season. The popular cavalry tactics rank third in the league in points per game, second only to the Dallas Mavericks' 106 points and the Sacramento Kings' 105.2 points, which is higher than the Lakers' average of 103 points per game.
The Eagles only scored 15 points at the end of a single quarter, and the Pistons' defense is really good.
But they can't open their own attack!
Most of this has nothing to do with the Eagles' defense. It's just that the rhythm is too slow. Some transitional balls can be played, but the rhythm has slowed down, and they don't have to play if they want to.
And after the opponent's rookie who is good at transitioning from offense to defense came up, the opponent started to gain momentum, and his side suddenly fell into a passive position!
Success is Ben Wallace, defeat is Ben Wallace, coach Carlisle can lead the team to this position in his rookie coaching season, largely relying on the league's third-ranked team built around Ben Wallace. defense, but the 21st-ranked offense in the league is a bit miserable. The Spurs' offensive efficiency is still ranked 11th in the league, and their defensive efficiency is about the same.
Coach Carlisle gritted his teeth and replaced Ben Wallace with Serbia's skilled and fast power forward Kyles Lobraka.
The 1980s was indeed a golden age for European and South American players. They killed the US team many times. Since 1992, the magician, Larry Bird, and Michael Jordan in the 1980s had three magic shots. Recover the mountains and rivers.
But at that time, not only was Sabonis invincible, he alone, even if he met the American team composed of NCAA players, it was not easy to win. The whole of Europe was blown out at that time with many high-quality players, but it was a pity because of political factors and During the war, most of them didn't have the chance to come to the NBA.
Kels Robraka was selected by the Sonics at the age of 19 in 1997. He just entered the NBA this year and was sent to the Pistons by the Sonics before he played.
It is a Serb, but not all Serbs are Serbs, which is a bit of a mouthful.
Rob Braka is a Bosnian, that is, the former Yugoslavs. The civil unrest did not end until 2000. He came to the NBA this year.
Although he is 2.11 meters tall, Robraka is fast and has good skills. Unfortunately, he was regarded as a European genius at the time. He is now 24 years old and missed the best years of tapping his potential. Now he can only play in the NBA. Play a substitute.
As a substitute insider, he averages 6 points and 4 rebounds per game, can shoot three-pointers, and can hold the ball. It is the type of insider that coach Carlisle likes.
...
After the timeout, the Eagles have not changed except for Chris Crawford who replaced Raheem.
The Pistons didn't change many people, but Jon Barry replaced Michael Curry, and Rob Laka replaced Ben Wallace.
But after the Pistons came up, their style completely changed!
With Ben Wallace, and without Ben Wallace, the Pistons are completely two teams!
Coming up, the Pistons quickly attacked and caught the Eagles by surprise. Stackhouse quickly advanced with the ball and broke through directly. The Eagles were not stable and double-teamed too hastily. In the first gear, Stackhouse made a pass, and Robbraka held up Chris Crawford, who came over from the defense, and scored two points with a small throw.
Hit fast?
The Eagles counterattacked immediately!
The Pistons still have their own players who are not in a good position halfway. Although the goal is scored, it is absolutely impossible to form a system if they want to return to defense!
Liu Mang and Jason Terry, the vanguard dispatched, the cavalry company charged!
...
...
After the Pistons switched to a lineup that could score, they picked up the tempo and their scoring efficiency immediately increased. The Eagles did not expect that the Pistons would suddenly change their style. The defensive end was a bit misguided, and the opponent scored several points at once. .
After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Pistons by 5 points 20-15.
Both teams didn't play so happily, and the Pistons played a wave of offensive shock waves suddenly at the end of the first quarter, which scared the Eagles. Fortunately, the Eagles also scored 5 points in a row and continued to maintain Score advantage.
Coach Kruger began to think, continue to increase speed and enhance scoring efficiency, or do the opposite? Take the initiative to pull the rhythm back to the slow rhythm, and then speed up?
This considers two aspects. Continue to speed up and use the experience advantage of playing fast to defeat the opponent. This method has a high success rate, but if the opponent’s offensive shots are also accurate, the opponent may be chased and counterattacked. It is effective, but unstable. .
The second strategy is to control the initiative, control the rhythm changes in his own hands, but there are also disadvantages. His own Langbi point guard may not be able to adapt to the too slow rhythm. After all, he is still a rookie...
That being the case, Coach Kruger simply called Liu Mang over.
"Coach, I'm here, what's the matter!" Liu Mang asked.
"Ace, I give you two choices. The first one is to continue to play in your style. The second is to slow down the tempo and let the opponent change to a slow-paced lineup. If you speed up, choose one." Coach Kruger still said Simply, if you can't decide by yourself, find someone to decide.
Generally speaking, college coaches are more flexible and have many excellent ideas, but their decision-making ability is average.
This is the same as Mr. Li, a legendary superstar in ancient China. There was an excellent coach Fang. Coach Fang had a lot of ideas and a lot of ideas, but he had too many choices and didn’t know which one to use, so there was an excellent judge. Assistant Coach Du helped him decide, and then Mr. Li came to implement it.
To change another example, just like the future coach Stevens of the Celtics, as a college coach, when he was in college, most of the players on all teams were about the same except for occasional talented players. The strength of the team has to be flexible tactically. Coach Stevens can always have multiple options in his mind, but if he can't make a decision for a while, he has to rely on his team of as many as eight assistants to make a decision. Among them, Jerome - Allen and Scott Morrison, two decisive assistants on offense and defense, have helped Stevens a lot.
There are only three assistant coaches for the Eagles, one in charge of defense, one in charge of shooting coaches, and one in charge of scouting report research and tactical analysis. There is no condition for the Celtics to be rich and powerful. Enter the group.
That being the case, Coach Kruger asked Liu Mang directly, simply and simply!
"Let's play at a slow pace. That Jim Carrey is also very fast. Don't be overtaken by them." Liu Mang is not just talking about it. The most special thing about Coach Carlisle is not that he can build an extremely balanced ball. team, but he can play a bunch of players who are regarded as scumbags by others. Everyone in the Mavericks after 2011 thinks that they will die after winning the championship. Who knows a bunch of other teams He picked up the player he didn't like. After being ranked last in the Western Conference at the beginning of the season, he was able to reach the playoffs with a bunch of drinking fountains in the end, and he just reached the seventh game with the Spurs. Of course, there were old drivers in those years It is also one of the key reasons to be the Poseidon needle with the old Carter, but the two old guys are almost 40, and the decisive factor is still the coach.
Just over a minute ago, the Pistons came up except for Stackhouse, and few of them knew their names except for the Pistons fans. They played three beautiful offenses in a daze, which is enough to prove that this is the case at Virginia Tech. Learned the attainments of coaches who have studied sports for two years in the use of role players.
Okay, Coach Kruger didn't think much of it, and used the second strategy... Wait, Jim Carrey? Coach Kruger looked at Coach Carlisle, not to mention, he really looks like that weirdo in disguise!
This brat! Coach Kruger looked around. Luckily, there was no one else. He randomly gave a nickname to a star-level new coach, and the nickname was a Hollywood superstar who won the Golden Globe twice and won the MTV actor a dozen times. lashed out!
After the inter-section rest, the two sides began to rotate.
Sure enough, even if a rookie coach has an excellent resume in college or as a teaching assistant, even if he enters the NBA very brightly, and is regarded as the first or second favorite of the best coach, he will still have the urge of a rookie.
Coach Kruger of the Eagles always has a lot of ideas and loves to make things happen.
Coach Carlisle's performance in this regard is that when he sees an opportunity, he wants to do it!
Coach Carlisle, who tasted the sweetness in the last minute of the first quarter, did not replace Ben Wallace at the beginning of the second quarter, but continued to change to an offensive lineup, replacing Dana Burrows and Joan Barry. The backcourt combination, Joan Barry is very famous. Although he has not won any awards, he has played more than 700 games so far, basically all of them came off the bench, and almost never played in the starting lineup, which can be regarded as a record.
Dana Barros, the winner of the Celtics Most Improved Award in the 1990s, was also selected as an All-Star substitute in the same year. That year was the peak period, averaging 20 points and 7.5 assists per game, helping the Celtics in the 94-95 season After reaching the playoffs, he withered inexplicably. Although he was no longer at the All-Star level, he still had strength. When he was still with the Celtics a few years ago, he averaged 11 or 2 points per game. The three-point heavy artillery given the title "Meteor Hammer" by the fans is his strongest move. Coach Carlisle actually prefers these two three-pointers who can shoot three-pointers. As for defense, it is enough to rely on active rotation. Whether a coach can do it or not basically depends on seeing the old from "young". Coach Carlisle has always had this ability.
The small forward continues to play Stackhouse. Although coach Carlisle doesn't like Stackhouse's inefficient scoring, the Pistons really lack assaulters. If they don't have Liu Wei with the Eagles, they may completely change the same team. Similarly, before the Pistons have no better candidates for a while, Coach Carlisle must use this inefficient scorer with a shooting percentage of just 40%.
Inside the Pistons sent a combination of Chris Williams and Rob Laka.
The Pistons still want to play fast!
But when Coach Carlisle saw the Eagles' roster, he didn't know if he should say it or not!
Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, Ratliff!
The Eagles are going to play positional warfare!
