Chapter 694: Anti-guest-oriented
Most of the Nets' players have not yet fully integrated into the defense, and a truly mature defensive system should be like the Clippers last season, where all the players on the court know what they are going to do, and when their teammates are out of position, they know who to fill in and how to rotate.
Think about it carefully, there are only three people in the Nets who can react to emergencies in an instant - Ji Guoqiu and Tony. Aaron, and Nash!
That's right, it is said that Nash's defense is a bad dad, but among so many players in the Nets, it is his defensive black hole that really understands the team's defensive system.
Phil. Jackson is helping players realize this at the moment, pointing out what Nets players made in the first half and how to improve in the second half.
It's not something that can be learned and improved in a single game, and now that the Nets are in the process of discovering problems, this kind of game is exactly what the Zen master wants to encounter, and smooth sailing is not a good thing.
In the second half of the game, the Knicks still tried to limit Ji Guoqiu's strong attack, but the effect was quite ordinary, Van Gundy gave Ji Guoqiu a positive evaluation: "The Knicks still want to use the bag to limit Ji Guoqiu, but Brother Panda has a very clear judgment of the situation after being packed, and when he sees that it is a real bag, he will give the ball to his teammates, and when he sees a fake bag that is just a shelf, he will turn to the bottom line and play by himself, the core of the Nets is also an unsolvable point for the Knicks." ”
Mark. Jackson was also not optimistic about the Knicks, even though the Nets were behind in the first half, he still believed: "New York scored 56 points in the first half today and maintained a seven-point lead. But what we're looking at isn't their offense in the first half, it's their offensive and defensive performances in the second two quarters. Since the Big Three joined. The Knicks conceded a whopping 53 points in the second half. The worst team in the league. They have been reversed by Celtic, Spurs. He lost 59 and 56 points in the second half, but he only scored more than 40 points. ”
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Knicks were still full of energy, and Ji Guoqiu handed out three assists in the first half of the quarter, two of which were passed to Korver, who was in average form after coming to the Blue Nets.
Korver is the league's top marksman, but his performance has been inconsistent since coming to the Nets, with good and bad hands.
The Zen master also discovered this problem not long ago, and the coaching staff's solution was to reduce Korver's strength training. Anyway, no matter how much he trains his strength, he can't become a top defender, so it is better to maintain a normal body and save a lot of muscles to affect his feel.
Korver spent three years with the Jazz, gaining weight to 230 pounds and a noticeably thicker arm, which is why his hand has become unstable.
Ji Guoqiu slowly found the feeling of last year on the inside, cheating horizons were fully open, and he frantically handed out 6 assists in the third quarter, such a crazy performance scared the Knicks players and fans stupidly.
The Nets continued to tighten their defense in the third quarter, and the Knicks players' stamina began to develop issues at the end of the quarter. Anthony gradually couldn't run, and his singles efficiency began to decline.
3:02 of the third quarter. Ji Guoqiu grabbed the frontcourt rebound on Xiao Si's head and made up for the basketball.
The live camera immediately gave a big close-up of the giant panda, and the fans couldn't see the slightest fatigue from him, the Nets lineup was full of players with excellent physical fitness, especially Ji Guoqiu, it was too difficult to see him panting.
The posture of New York fans has long changed to holding their heads with their hands, and the Knicks have not scored three times, and Ji Guoqiu's rebound will overtake the score.
The score was 74:73, and the Knicks' scoring efficiency dropped quickly, and from the middle of the quarter, they began to play non-stop, and the feeling suddenly disappeared completely.
After Bledsoe came on the court, he used his speed to hit the basket twice in a row, and the Knicks made matters worse.
Stoudemire took advantage of Ji Guoqiu's absence to quickly cut points on the inside, he only scored a pitiful 5 points in the time he was in the opposite position with Ji Guoqiu in this game, but Brother Panda had already scored 24 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 blocks when he got off the court.
One of the biggest three teams in the league has an unavoidable problem: they will fall into the quagmire of being overly focused on personal data.
It's easy to understand that no one wants to be compared, and the personal data of a star is directly related to their own income.
When manufacturers are looking for spokespersons, they will definitely not look for those low-key stars who "your data is not good-looking, but I know you are awesome".
Fans are looking for a star they admire among many players, and the choice of players like Billups and Parker must be a minority, as evidenced by the All-Star vote. Everyone says that Duncan is low-key, but people are not low-key in terms of data, and there are few in history who can maintain a 20+10 inside line in his career.
Stoudemire is not the one who will pass the blue ball when he has the opportunity, let him lead the rotation lineup, then the team's shots will basically be concentrated on him. Xiao Si got the basketball, and there was only one goal, and that was to attack.
If he doesn't fight, will he beat someone else? Who in this lineup has his grasp?
Humphries couldn't defend against Xiao Si throughout the game, and the game came to the final stage, perhaps due to physical reasons, Humphries finally had an impact on Stoudemire's strong attack.
The Nets did a good job of sharing basketball in rotation time, and the Zen master replaced Bledsoe and Jeremy Lin and Tony according to the Knicks' lineup. Allen formed the backcourt lineup, and the Cavaliers who served as the organizer at this time were Jeremy Lin, not Bledsoe, and the Nets were running smoothly during this time.
Jeremy Lin's role in this game is a bit like Harden of the Thunder, and the Zen master gives high recognition to his organizational skills, but unfortunately although this Chinese player has a high ball quotient, he lacks athleticism, and his passing ability is not up to the average level, especially the defense is far inferior to Bledsoe, these fatal flaws make it difficult for him to occupy stable playing time in the Nets.
Bledsoe's talent is undoubtedly much stronger than Jeremy Lin's, and the poor boy's effort is not inferior to the former, except for the inferiority of the ball quotient, almost all aspects of surpassing. The Zen master felt a pity in his heart, if there was such a backup point guard when he was with the Lakers, he might be able to solve many of the team's problems at that time.
The third quarter ended. Bledsoe scored six points in four minutes of play. This little bull is the kind of player who can knock you over if you don't pay attention.
Paul. George was a little embarrassed. He was the Nets' starter today, but was blown up from start to finish by Anthony, playing only 12 minutes and committing four fouls.
"In the first season, I was taught a bad lesson by Boozer and Duncan, but it's nothing, as long as you take this as a shame, you will soon get stronger and stronger." Ji Guoqiu patted Paul. George, the poor little fellow has been hit hard today. In the second half, the Zen master was no longer planning to replace him, and the Nets' starting No. 3 position only played a measly 12 minutes today.
"Thank you, I'll try harder." Paul. George hurriedly said that Ji Guoqiu's supergiant encouragement is better than anything else, and the rookies of the Nets are all admirers of the giant pandas, including Paul, who is still very immature in front of him. George.
At the end of the third quarter, the score was 81:78, and the Nets completed the comeback in the third quarter.
At the beginning of the last quarter, Ji Guoqiu returned to the court, and the Nets lineup: Bledsoe, Tony. Aaron, Novak, Ji Guoqiu, Ben. Wallace.
Stoudemire still leads the Knicks' rotation. I don't know if I feel ashamed that I performed too badly in the confrontation with Ji Guoqiu, Xiao Si bukkake Ji Guoqiu once as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter. Cheers from Madison Square Garden resumed.
Ji Guoqiu will not fight against him at this time, this goal is a shit luck in his eyes, if Stoudemire goes on and continues to fight like this, he will definitely raise his hands to welcome.
The Nets run around Ji Guoqiu on the offensive end, in fact, they play like this on the defensive end, but the defense is in a passive position, and the offense is in an active position, and there will be no problems. The Nets launched tactics around Ji Guoqiu, the team's mistakes will become rare, and the Pandas will definitely have a lot of assists, which is the most important thing.
Ji Guoqiu squeezed his back at the free throw line, but his eyes were always on his teammates, and when Novak used the cover to run out of the opportunity, the basketball immediately passed to the latter, and the big shooter raised his hand to shoot, hitting the third three-pointer of the day.
Korver, Novak, Matthews, the three main batteries of the Nets, made a total of 10 three-pointers in this game, plus Nash and Ji Guoqiu, the Nets made a total of 15 three-pointers today, and the outside firepower was fully opened, and the Knicks paid a heavy price for encircling Ji Guoqiu.
Xiao Si turned around and continued to attack, this time he didn't have such good luck, Ji Guoqiu's footwork power occupied an all-round advantage, Xiao Si's breakthrough was firmly stuck in the main position by Ji Guoqiu, and finally forced a layup to shoot a three-no-dip, Madison Square Garden suddenly lost its voice.
The Nets got the ball and quickly launched a fast break, Bledsoe made a layup and scored two more points, and the Nets began to fight back.
Stoudemier's attack this time is a bit ruined, this guy has a lot of prejudice against the Chinese, and it is estimated that it is related to the fact that the "champion" was robbed by Yao Ming that year.
At that time, the American media vigorously played up the question of who should be the champion between Yao Ming and Stoudemire. Xiao Si was influenced by the media and always believed that Yao Ming became the champion by relying on the market behind him, including domestic fans. Xiao Si believes that in terms of strength, he is much stronger than Yao Ming, so he will not be able to accept the fact that he was defeated by another Chinese.
Stoudemire's performance today is related to his own mentality, it stands to reason that Xiao Si, who has not suffered a serious knee injury again, has not declined from last season, although his athleticism is not as good as the peak animal brother and Warcraft, but at most it is only half a level behind, if this is going to be abused by the two brothers, it is not so.
Ji Guoqiu saw Xiao Si's eagerness to prove his mentality, and began to set traps on the defensive end, as well as influencing his mentality with some defensive moves that were not so open. At the beginning of this season, Ji Guoqiu gradually used some unflattering small actions on the court, occasionally pushing his waist and pinching his buttocks, which was harmless.
Stoudemire's offense was once again interfered with by Ji Guoqiu and missed the shot.
The Nets turned around but Ji Guoqiu made a foul and easily went to the free throw line to score two points, and the score gap began to move towards double digits.
D'Antoni immediately called for a timeout and replaced Anthony early, hoping that the melons that performed well today could be a savior.
The Zen master also used a big killer weapon this timeout, and today he used Tony for the first time. Allen came to defend Anthony, who was a lap older than him.
Tony. Allen himself doesn't care that the other party's physical fitness is one level stronger than himself, Bowen can defend against James back then, why can't he defend against Anthony?
The backcourt players who are selected for the league's best defensive team every year can basically defend the second and third positions. Allen hasn't been named to the All-Defensive Team yet, but he already has what it takes.
Tony. Allen defended Anthony's next game, used the advantage of footwork to entangle Anthony, so that he could not break through smoothly, and then used a pair of long arms to interfere with the opponent's shot. If this kind of defense can't stop Anthony's outburst, and I want to replace someone else, the result will be the same.
Anthony has a big advantage in height, plus the strength to crush it, and after the start of the match, he wittily hit Tony in the low post. Aaron, scored four points in a row.
Ji Guoqiu began to help Tony. Allen carried out the packing, and the other players of the Nets first put Anthony close to the low post, and then narrowed the encirclement, cut off his passing route, and carried out a small range + large range of double encirclement, such a tactic has obviously been practiced.
This tactic is indeed specially prepared by the Nets for Anthony, Kobe, James, and Pierce's low post back play, all four of them have the ability to attack on the wing and low back, especially Anthony and the boss The threat in this position is too high, and it is necessary to practice a set of tactics to deal with it.
All four of them are in the East, and together they play 16 times a year, which is a fifth of all games, and the Nets have more than a set of tactics for them.
The Knicks did not have such a targeted defensive strategy at all, and D'Antoni's rigid side was exposed. A coach like him, a player transmits more conceptual things, and really needs to be paired with a spiritual point guard to give full play to his tactical thinking.
In another time and space, D'Antoni has not achieved anything without Nash, as can be seen from the fact that he has been scouting point guard players, he has always been looking for players like Nash, but has never found one.
In the fourth quarter, the score was 6 minutes and 50 seconds, the score was 94:90, and the difference between the two teams was about 5 points.
Nash was back on the court, D'Antoni was playing too steadily, and Lao Gu, his favorite player, really let him see what he had always wanted.
The Canadian took the basketball around the Knicks box twice again, and suddenly looked back at the moon under the basket and threw the basketball into the basket in an awkward, but unexpected position. And at this moment, he had DeLong by his side. Williams, Turyaf and Mozgov are three Knicks players.
The Knicks players had a sore egg and defended for a long time, but they ran directly under their noses and got the ball in, which was too demoralizing.
This is not over, Ji Guoqiu made up for the Knicks on the defensive end and directly cut off the pass. The Nets once again reacted quickly and counterattacked, scoring 4 points in a row in the blink of an eye, turning the difference into 8 points.
Those two goals were a watershed moment in the game, and the morale of the Knicks players was severely damaged by these two goals, and in the final half of the quarter, the Nets did not launch a decent comeback, and were pressed to the ground alive until the end of the game.
The final whistle blew, and the Nets announced on the road that they had surpassed the Knicks to become the first in the East. (To be continued......)
