Chapter 589: All the people are soldiers at half-time

"Both teams made changes, with the Wizards coming on Juan Dixon and replacing Antoine Jamison, while the Bobcats went on a small lineup, with rookie Josh Smith at 2.06 meters tall and Gerald Wallace, Andre Iguodala and Michael Reed on the wings, and finally point guard Steve Blake."

"Qiao Hai's intentions are already very obvious, they are going to speed up."

On the first ball after the timeout, the Wizards' offensive round, Juan Dixon took the basketball and quickly hit the frontcourt.

Then, he didn't make any stopping adjustments, just a crotch dribble, followed by a forward sprint, and rushed into the interior at once.

The Bobcats' defense was out of position, and Steve Blake couldn't keep up with Juan Dixon.

But the defense on the inside was quick, and Andre Iguodala went straight to Juan Dixon, who then chose to pass.

The basketball was distributed to the wing, and Gilbert Arenas jumped to his feet and made a decisive three-point shot.

But with a bang, the three-pointer hit the iron.

Josh Smith on the inside grabbed the rebound, the Bobcats got the ball, Steve Blake took the basketball, and then, according to Qiao Hai's request, he slammed the basketball and pushed forward at a fast speed.

Rushing to the frontcourt, he played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, and Steve Blake then rushed inside.

On the flanks, Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala also made a no-ball screen, with Josh Smith rushing inside and Iguodala pulling into the bottom corner.

Michael Reed, who was near the bottom corner, quickly circled to the top of the arc.

He received a pass from Steve Blake, and Larry Hughes's defense pressed up, but Michael Reid did not stop the ball, and another pass went directly to Josh Smith, who had squeezed into the box.

Josh Smith was one-on-one in the penalty area, and he directly chose to go strong, a straight waist and abdomen layup, and successfully hit!

In this wave of offense, the Bobcats went from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and finally Josh Smith's inside layup, which only took more than 9 seconds in total, which can be described as a wave of blitzkrieg.

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai applauded vigorously, while Eddie Jordan stood on the sidelines and shouted a few times.

The Bobcats' rapid offense began to bear fruit, and when Steve Blake quickly advanced to the frontcourt, the Wizards' defense was not yet fully in place, and the Bobcats' rapid breakthrough and air cut, combined with fast passing, naturally tore apart the Wizards' defense very easily.

At this point, the only thing Eddie Jordan can emphasize is that the rotation defense is faster.

In the Wizards' offensive round, they continued to attack the position, still with Juan Dixon attacking the Bobcats' defensive formation, and then Gilbert Arenas and Larry Hughes cutting open as off-ball players.

Finally, Larry Hughes received the ball from mid-range and hit a jumper.

The Bobcats served the ball in the backcourt, Steve Blake received the ball, and rushed to the front court quickly.

Andre Iguodala stood up at the top of the arc and took the ball, the other players started to run, and Michael Reid went around the bottom corner near the left mid-distance of the top of the arc before receiving a pass from Iguodala.

After the pass, Iguodala rushed to Reed's side and sideways to give a screen.

Then, with his right hand raised, he rushed towards the restricted area.

The Wizards directly chose to switch defenses, Michael Reed singled Michael Ruffin, he rushed two short steps, and then made a close-range pull-up jump shot, and with a bang, the Bobcats scored two more points.

The Bobcats' ball is completely different from the previous one, this ball is more like pulling the strong side to Michael Reed for a single, but in fact, there are still some changes to this style of play, but these changes are not played by this ball.

The Bobcats are completely empty on the strong side, and under normal circumstances, after Andre Iguodala covers the bypass, there is a good chance that an open spot will run out, as the Wizards are likely to have two men to surround Michael Reed on the strong side.

It's just that the Wizards didn't choose to pinch and then gave Michael Reed a one-on-one chance.

In terms of Michael Reed's current personal ability, his one-on-one success rate is still very high, so this style of play actually gives the opponent a dilemma.

Choosing to flank Michael Reid will release Andre Iguodala around the corner, creating a large void.

……

The Bobcats continued to play tactical coordination that was not very proficient, and McBrin and Mav Albert also sighed again and again: "Large-scale passing coordination, small-scale blocking and dismantling, and air-cutting coordination, this Bobcats' tactical coordination is really wonderful." ”

"From these tactical combinations alone, Qiao Hai has already played his coaching ability, and this Bobcats team is amazing, and they played their competitiveness in the first game."

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats led the Wizards by six points at 28-22.

At the start of the game in the second quarter, Qiao Hai thought of the center play style with Tang Zhendong as the core in the first quarter, and he directly used it at the beginning of the second quarter.

Tang Zhendong stands on the inside, Carlos Arroyo substitutes point guard, and the two wings are Andre Iguodala and Anfernee Hardaway, and power forward Tony Kukoc.

Then, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Bobcats suppressed the rhythm and focused on the offensive position with Datang as the core.

At a slower pace, the Bobcat didn't extend its advantage further.

By the middle of the second quarter, the Bobcats were leading by eight points, 36-28.

Then, Johi removed the center again, and put on a small lineup again, Josh Smith continued to play as a cameo center, with Anfernee Hardaway and Michael Petrus at the front, and Carlos Arroyo and Michael Reed at the back.

After the speed, in the second half of the second quarter, the Bobcats once again gained an advantage on the court, but Gilbert Arenas exploded, hitting two three-pointers in a row and scoring nine points in a row.

After halftime, the Bobcats continued to lead the Wizards by six points at 55-49.

……

At half-time, the Bobcats had a 6-point lead, and Qiao Hai also got a first-half statistic from Tang Yi.

In the half, the Bobcats scored the most here Michael Reed who scored 13 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, followed by Tang Zhendong who got 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block.

Anfernee Hardaway had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Josh Smith had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block, Steve Blake had 5 points and 3 assists, Carlos Arroyo had 5 points and 1 assist, Gerald Wallace had 4 points, 1 steal and 1 block, and Andre Iguodala had 4 points.

In the first half, there were only two players who could be regarded as strong points by Bobcats, one was Michael Reed, who contributed steadily, and the other was Tang Zhendong, who was temporarily pushed to the core by Qiao Hai.

In terms of other players, Anfernee Hardaway is indeed experienced, and apart from two core positions, he should be the best in the game.

In addition to these three people, the other players played five or five times, and the Bobcats basically played an all-people attack, which also surprised many people.

This game is the debut of the Bobcats' official game, and seeing this statistic, Qiao Hai also has a general understanding of how they can maintain their current advantage in the second half.
