On the 19th, the first round of the playoffs began. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After discussing with the assistant coaches, Yang Rui adjusted the starting lineup in the first game.

Wizards five: Wesley, Margety, Jordan, Marshall, Stoudamire.

Pacers starters: Trevis-Best, Reggie Miller, Jalen Rose, Al Harrington, Brad Miller.

Stoudeyer and Brad Miller earned the ball and flicked it to Jordan with excellent bounce.

Jordan took the ball to the center in front of the three-point line, observed it and passed it to Margeti in the corner position on the right side, the Pacers' tactics were man-to-man, and Reggie Miller was the main defense.

Margeti leaned his back against Reggie Miller, forced a turn, and the strong force knocked the opponent directly to the ground, he pulled the ball and rushed to the basket, and the layup was wide under Brad Miller's defensive interference.

Before the offense was over, Xiao Si jumped up on the left side, grabbed the rebound in the front court, and directly made up the ball with both hands, 2-0.

Just in the first round, Reggie Miller was a little depressed, and almost every season, he was the target of onslaught by opponents in the playoffs. Especially against the Raptors, he was particularly abused.

The Pacers attacked, and the Wizards used man-to-man tactics, focusing on mid-to-long-range shooting. lost to the Pacers in the regular season, because Yang Rui arranged 122 joint defense, and was shot away by the opponent from the outside.

All five of the Pacers' starters shot the field. "Thomas" also studied the Raptors' tactics last season, first letting Best and Brad Miller play the block and pick and roll in the middle, attracting Marshall to switch defenses but failed to break through, and passed the ball to Brad Miller in the middle.

Yang Rui knows Brad Miller's characteristics inside out.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Brad Miller often played under the basket in the early stage, and it was not until he joined the Kings that he began to focus on organization and did not enter the restricted area much. And in the Raptors, Yang Rui assigned him the job of shooting and organization, which is softer than in his previous life.

Brad Miller's desire to attack is not strong, and he usually shoots only when he is open or out of position, Wesley actively pursues Best, and Marshall pounces on the middle to interfere with the shot after the defender splits the ball, and the defense is in place.

The key to dealing with the Pacers is the mobility of the players, with height and confrontation being secondary.

Brad Miller distributed the ball to Reggie Miller on the left, he is almost 38 years old, and his ability to break through the frame is not as good as before, although he is lightweight, and he has no speed advantage in the face of Margeti, so he can't break through and has to share the ball again.

Harrington received the ball and went heads-up, Xiaosi kept his distance, and the defense was the main one, and Harrington made a 17-foot jumper on the right side after a false swing and hit it in a slight interference. 2 to 2.

The Wizards attacked, Jordan received the ball in the frontcourt, and still passed the ball to Margety. Margeti leaned 45 degrees on the right side of Miller, turned to the baseline and picked up the basketball. 4 to 2.

This time, Brad Miller was pulled out of the basket by Smalls and failed to make up the defense.

Smalls gave Wesley off-ball cover on the left side, and Brad knew that if he stood near the restricted area and didn't go out, Wesley would be able to shoot when he caught the ball, and they were particularly familiar with this trick in the Raptors.

The Pacers attacked, the players couldn't run away, and Rose singled Jordan and changed direction to a pull-up jump shot.

Marshall grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack, and Wesley dribbled through the half court to Margety, who received the ball on the right side and brought it to the three-point line, pulled the ball three steps on Reggie Miller, and forced a layup to cause a foul.

Reggie Miller is too thin, how can he carry Margeti, who is physically stronger than many big forwards? When he played the Raptors, he was easily eaten by Carter, and now Yang Rui still arranges strong men to attack this weakness, which is why Margeti started.

The Pacers attacked, with Best and Brad Miller playing pick-and-roll, and the ball was split into the middle, and Brad received the ball near the free throw line this time and immediately shot and hit a mid-range shot. 4 to 4.

Wesley chases the guard, Marshall is responsible for blocking the guard, and it takes time to interfere with the big man's shot.

The Wizards attacked, the ball was still handed to Margety, and he relied on Reggie Miller to turn around and break through to the basketball! 6 to 4.

In the next round, the Pacers were forced to change defenses on the court, Rose went to fight Margeti, Reggie Miller still suffered against Jordan, and the Wizards became Jordan's single-based.

The two sides fought to attack, and in the 7th minute, Yang Rui replaced Hamilton and replaced Marshall, allowing Margeti to play the big forward position against Harrington, and it did not become a defensive hole. Harrington's scoring relied too heavily on jump shots, and his low-post skills were mediocre.

With the addition of a shooting point, Jordan began to organize the offense, and going into the playoffs, he didn't have to try to score 20 points again.

The Wizards led 28-22 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent an attacking lineup of Alstom, Bale, Hamilton, Marshall, and Boozer.

In terms of tactics, Yang Rui did not arrange a high post block, let Boozer go to the side to cover Hamilton, two three-pointers pulled away, Alston organized in the middle, teammates ran and passed the ball when they had the opportunity, and he directly singled out the Pacers backup point guard Tim Hardaway when he didn't have a chance.

Before the start of the new season, Hardaway participated in the training camp of the Wizards, and Yang Rui knew that he could not defend Alstom one-on-one.

That set up a confidence boost for "The Street Ball King," who began juggling dribbling and then made beautiful breakaways to get past Hardaway again and again.

The local sports station in Washington broadcast the game live, and the commentator sighed: "Alstom's performance today is very eye-catching, can break through to the basket, can also attract defensive assist teammates, Hamilton, Boozer's mid-range shooting is very stable." If this is the last season of Hardaway's career, it would be cruel. ”

Hardaway has never won a championship, and his retirement has become a stepping stone for newcomers to take the position.

After only four minutes of play, Thomas was forced to replace Hardaway and bring on another point guard, Eric Strickland.

Eric is a two-way guard who entered the NBA without a draft in '96, with poor organizational skills, strong body and high defensive enthusiasm. HE IS 191CM TALL AND WEIGHS 95 KG.

Alston is a technical point guard who dodges and plays, and Eric can't defend it with his body. Alston soon made another successful breakaway, attracting the defensive ball and assisting Hamilton on a jumper.

Hamilton was also very agile and unhurried to be followed by defenders, making two passes to Boozer who ran to the low post.

Boozer singled out Jonathan Bender with his weight and scored two goals in a row. Bender is too thin and has been injured all the time to be a good substitute.

Originally, the Pacers would have been better off with Marcus Camby inside, and after a double-double in a contract year, Camby joined the Nuggets. Neither Bender nor Foster, who is on the fringe, is a good centre-forward.

Thomas switched back to the main team early, and the Wizards used the bench to maneuver for a while before switching back to the starter.

In the second half, Marshall began to exert his power, running after covering Hamilton, running from the left to the bottom corner of the right, the fast Harrington went to change the defensive block, once the baseline made the second block, Marshall received the ball after running to Brad Miller, which was a misalignment.

Marshall hit three three-pointers in a single quarter, and after Brad Miller joined the Pacers, the pick-and-roll ratio slouched with the Raptors. He has two championship rings and signed a salary cap, and he has a full life, and his playing momentum is not as good as in the past.

The veteran Leitner did not cut in the air after covering the wing, opened up the space, received the ball and shot directly, and could organize the second time without a chance to shoot, and cooperated with Marshall very tacitly, and his performance was not inferior to the Pacers' starting inside.

In the last quarter, Xiao Si, Boozer, and Margeti, who had rested for a while, came back and began to attack the inside, Jordan was in charge of the middle organization, and he also singled a few in the face of Reggie Miller's main defense, scoring 6 points.

114-82, the Wizards slaughtered the Pacers in their first game and got off to a good start.
