Chapter 588

After the two sides entered the rotation this time, the 41-year-old Stockton came up with a bunch of substitutes, and played a pick-and-roll with Boozer to create opportunities for the other three teammates. The combination of Chad Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Mourning played well!

Stockton played Kidd, so far in his career, 20 wins and 8 losses. It is still based on the fact that the Nets swept the Jazz twice when the Nets were at their peak and the Jazz declined in the past two years. Before Kidd met Stockton, Worse than meeting Peyton, almost every time he was pressed and beaten.

What limits Stockton's strength has never been the speed of age decline, confrontation and other effects.

Since 1997, he has never been the assist leader again. At that time, he was 35, and his speed has declined significantly, and his data has also dropped to about 12 points and 8 assists. But for the next few years, until last season, he It is still about 12+8, and it has always been so stable. In the second finals season of Stockton, the average playing time per game has dropped below 30, but the efficiency on the field and the positive impact on the team, Stockton Tocton has not changed throughout his career, but his playing time has decreased, his teammates are getting older, and the Jazz began to decline.

The biggest problem for Stockton now, the idea that makes him want to retire is that he is no longer strong enough to support even more than 20 minutes of all-out physical fitness. .

In fact, when Stockton reached the finals for the first time, his speed began to decline, but it did not really affect his role on the court. What affected his statistics and performance was his physical fitness.

But now it's no problem to play as a substitute. I play more than ten minutes per game and get five or six assists.

After the official timeout came back, with the pick-and-roll cooperation of Stockton and Boozer, Kwame Brown's offensive awareness was not good, but he was obedient! Stockton told him to give Jason Terry a pick-and-roll without the ball. Jason Terry had no chance if he was marked to death. Kwame Brown remembered Liu Mang's scolding - so strong to the basket Rush, attacking Kwame Brown with the ball is not good, but it is still possible to cut in and get the ball and hit the basket directly. The main reason is such a strong body. With the reputation of being a buttery hand without catching the ball, it is scary to see him rushing in with undoubtedly the best body of all the insiders in the game.

On the defensive end, although the defense of this lineup is far worse than that of the starting lineup, there are two masters of small moves, Stockton and Barnes, especially after Barnes is now Stockton's younger brother, The more he learns, the worse he gets. Unlike No. 21 who greeted the other party with his mouth down three ways, he started directly, making the other party very annoying.

Stockton and Barnes defended against Rodney Rogers and Richard Jefferson, and the effect was really good!

And the defense of the Eagles is very simple. Boozer can't defend, and he shrinks to the basket on the defensive end. Kwame Brown doesn't care. Kidd can make shots after the pick-and-roll. Kenyon Martin went out for the pick-and-roll, and Kwame Brown followed him, and then immediately shrunk to block Mourning or Kenyon Martin who was cutting after the pick-and-roll, and let Jason Terry chase Kidd, Kidd If you make a shot into the Eagles' offense, if you can't make it into the Eagles lineup, you will play a fast break.

The rhythm of the two teams became chaotic, with all kinds of fast breaks. When Stockton played against Kidd in a short period of time, he really played against Kidd.

Although it only takes about ten minutes for Stockton to show off now, it is enough for the Eagles!

In the last five minutes of the first quarter, under the leadership of Stockton, the Nets did not take advantage of the fact that none of the Hawks' starters were there to catch up with the score. Instead, they were pulled a little bit further!

After the first quarter, the Eagles 28 to 22, leading the Nets away by 6 points!

This is still in the desperate situation of Jason Terry today, the Eagles still lead by 6 points after the first quarter.

Last season, the Nets could bully the Hawks' rookies by grinding their positions, and the depth of the lineup was insufficient.

But now, after the Eagles played 4-0 at the start, they took advantage of this lead to make a fuss and kept it until the end of the first quarter!

...

During the break, both teams made adjustments.

Jason Terry played the worst in the rotation lineup. He was defended by Richard Jefferson and shot 1 of 5 in the half quarter. Thanks to Kwame Brown's active performance today, he grabbed it in 5 minutes 3 offensive rebounds, otherwise it is still unclear whether they can lead by six points, so Jason Terry, who had continued to play in the second quarter, was put on the bench and Liu Mang was replaced.

Coach Kruger used Stockton and Liu Mang to partner in the backcourt, and the lineup of Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown was replaced.

Enhanced shooting ability and defensive height.

As for the Nets, they put on a strange lineup. Coach Byron Scott has nothing else to do. He has a good defensive plan. He replaced Kidd, Rodney Rogers, and Richard Jeffer. Sen, Aaron Williams, Kenyon Martin play!

Call it a big lineup, it has no center, say it is a small lineup, except for Kidd, everyone else is over two meters tall!

At the beginning of the second quarter, seeing that none of the players running over from the Nets was taller than Raheem, the Eagles knew that the Nets were going to play strange tricks again.

Kidd advances upfield, Stockton defends, and Kidd passes the ball to Rodney Rodgers.

Facing Liu Mang's defense, Rodney Rogers began to lower his waist to separate the space from Liu Mang, Kidd went to the right to open the space, and on the left side, Kenyon Martin went to give Richard Jefferson nothing. Ball pick and roll!

The pick-and-roll of the Nets' two most impactful players immediately attracted the Eagles' defensive attention. The impact of these two men was too strong. Still, Richard Jefferson found an opportunity to cut inside, and Rasheed Wallace, who was guarding the basket, turned around and was ready to help defend at any time.

At this time, Aaron Williams pulled out to pick and roll Kidd on the right, Kidd cut into the basket, Rodney Rogers immediately scored the ball to the basket, Kidd made an air cut layup!

Unexpectedly, it would be Kidd's side as the end point, and Rasheed Wallace's attention is all on Richard Jefferson, who may be cutting in. He is confident that he can block the rationale. Chad Jefferson covered Aaron Williams at the same time, but Kidd rushed in for a layup.

The Nets' lineup is indeed too capable of running.

The offense and defense switched, the Eagles attacked, and the Nets retreated quickly. Stockton was not in a hurry. After receiving the serve, he stabilized his rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt.

Liu Mang wants to take Kidd to continue to go to the low post. Rodney Rogers is defending Stockton. Stockton obviously has no singles ability now, as long as he defends the jumper after the pick-and-roll, Liu Mang goes to the post. Going inside, as soon as you reach the low position, that is, below the arc top of the dotted arc inside the free throw line and the line parallel to the free throw line, that is the low position area. Kidd immediately switched defenses with Richard Jefferson. Richard -Jefferson stood in front of Liu Mang, and Kidd went to defend Raheem.

Raheem was about to press up to lean on Kidd, Kenyon Martin switched over, Rasheed Wallace immediately ran to the left three-point line, Kidd followed Rasheed Wallace and pulled out.

Seeing this, Stockton immediately gave the ball to Rasheed Wallace, and Kidd posted it towards Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace saw that it was Kidd who was defending him. Straight-arm three-point shot...missed!

Kidd clung to Rasheed Wallace tightly, and interfered as much as possible. Rasheed Wallace had a solid shot!

It was the Nets' offense again. Rodney Rogers continued to hit Liu Mang with the ball in the top arc, and the others ran. This time Kwame Brown took it back early and defended the basket with Rasheed Wallace. Richard Jefferson runs to the left corner, Kenyon Martin cuts and sees Kwame Brown go back, turns to help Richard Jefferson block Raheem, Rodney Rodgers Point the ball to Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!

27 to 28, the Nets narrowed the point difference to 1 point!

The Nets' style of play changed suddenly. It was no longer Kidd who organized the offense, but used Rodney Rogers' singles ability to pin Liu Mang to the top arc. Under the basket, and finally attack from the outside! A Kidd cut and a Richard Jefferson back-run corner led to a 5-0 run.

Hawks offense, Stockton pushes, sees Nets defensive strategy, Kidd, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin's infinite rotation defense, Kenyon Martin and Richard Jeffer Sen guards Raheem's low post alone, and Liu Mang's low post alone. When Liu Mang expands, Kidd defends. When Liu Mang goes to the low post, Richard Jefferson defends. Stockton knows that the Nets have thought of defending. It's the way the Eagles attack in the low post.

Very good defensive strategy, but Stockton immediately had a way to deal with it. Stockton commanded Liu Mang to run to the right at a 45-degree angle to drive Kidla away, and Rahim came to the left mid-range to open the space Pulling away, Kwame Brown went to the left baseline to hit the basket at any time, forcing Kenyon Martin to come out to block, leaving only Rasheed Wallace and Aaron Williams under the basket.

The offensive strategy of the Nets made Rasheed Wallace's defensive end a stake in the basket, that is, Rasheed Wallace's defensive end has no big effect, and he relies on height to become a defensive threat. That being the case, Stockton played the role of Rasheed Wallace on the offensive end!

Rasheed Wallace saw Stockton directing the others to pull away, and immediately understood Stockton's thoughts, took a step into the three-second zone, and leaned on Aaron in half a step outside the reasonable collision zone. Williams asked for the ball, Stockton lobbed it to Rasheed Wallace, and Rasheed Wallace turned around and threw the ball into the basket easily using his absolute height advantage!

The third low point for the Eagles!

When the Hawks were stuck on the outside line by the Nets' small lineup, and Kenyon Martin, a power forward who was extremely strong against pick-and-rolls, made the Eagles unable to play pick-and-rolls when Boozer was not there, the only way out was the low post. Otherwise, we can only grind the position and make strong shots, and the Nets also guarded Liu Mang and Raheem's low post to death, so there was an offense in which Rasheed Wallace pulled out and was stuck to the shot in the last round , which made the Eagles play almost like the original Pistons.

However, the Nets overlooked that Rasheed Wallace is also a good low-post offensive player!

Unlike the media and fans who felt that Rasheed Wallace's role in the Hawks was dispensable in one game, the head coach of the Nets, Byron Scott, clearly saw that Rasheed Wallace was insignificant. The role of the Warriors on the defensive end, and the fact that Rasheed Wallace was not physically strong enough to support him in the game between the Eagles and the Celtics, knowing that Rasheed Wallace Lace may have become a pitcher-type defensive insider in the Eagles, so he formulated such a defensive strategy.

But when formulating the defensive strategy, the comprehensiveness of Rasheed Wallace's offensive end was ignored. Maybe it was not forgotten, but had to be ignored. After all, there is no perfect defense.

And this loophole was caught by Stockton, and Rasheed Wallace easily reached the position under the basket and scored two points!

An old house where a treasure!

For the next period of time, the two teams took advantage of each other's defensive loopholes to play. For the Eagles, if Kenyon Martin didn't defend Rasheed Wallace, Rasheed Wallace would drop low. Kenyon - Martin can only choose one of Raheem and Rasheed Wallace to defend. After all, the Eagles have another low-post strong point that Richard Jefferson needs to defend.

The Nets' offense is also very clear, using Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin's air-cut threats to make a fuss.

However, the Eagles didn't dare to replace Ratliff on the field. Ratliff's defense was more than adequate and his offense was insufficient.

The situation is a bit unfavorable for the Eagles, because Stockton can't play for too long! The Nets were struggling desperately. Kidd cut to the basket without the ball every time he attacked, forcing Stockton to chase around Aaron Williams' pick-and-roll, consuming Stockton's energy.

At the official timeout at the sixth and a half minutes of the second quarter, the Eagles narrowly led by 1 point 42-41.

Stockton, who has played for a full 12 minutes, is already covered in sweat and gasping for breath!

Stockton obviously couldn't hold it anymore. The 41-year-old played 12 minutes in a row, and the opponent's highly confrontational pick-and-roll cut-in style was too much for Stockton on the defensive end.

The Nets saw that their defensive loopholes were discovered by the Eagles, and they did not make any adjustments, just to continue to consume Stockton, and that loophole was there, and the Eagles still had to play. There was no more tactical response. , so that the Eagles have been playing this style of play.

Coach Kruger has a headache. Who should he replace? Jason Terry, he feels very bad today, and he may not be able to play the role of Stockton. Willie Green? Too independent, said to be a point guard, playing like a small forward.

Calderon is not on the active list, and it is not easy to use. He is too young, has shooting talent and is stable, but he has not yet reached the NBA level. It is normal to lose the draft. This kind of traditional point guard needs several years to cultivate.

The fight now is not about which side can use tactics to defeat the opponent, but to stabilize the current situation and wait for the opponent to score first, so stability is needed. Coach Kruger is generally a steady coach. The belt is becoming more and more unstable, but the first reaction is to be more stable.

But at this time, a person who was completely unsuitable for prudence approached Coach Kruger. After whispering something, Coach Kruger almost kicked him out, but think about it, let's do it like this!

It's just that there is no position, and it is not prudent to say that it is not prudent!

There will be another update in the afternoon and evening, please ask for a monthly ticket, the master behind is too fierce, the power of the boutique master can't be stopped
