Chapter 339: Long time no see, Little Ball Storm! (a)
"Coach, can we ......?"
Chen Mu, who hadn't put forward his views between games for a long time, seemed to have some ideas about the situation on the court today. It's just that because the understanding of techniques and tactics can't reach the level of the coach, Chen Mu's ideas are always relatively rudimentary, and they are generally things like the general idea, and the coach needs to carefully calculate and give a specific implementation plan.
“…… Well, it's worth a try! ”
After hearing Chen Mu's thoughts, Cheeks' frowning brows also stretched slightly, his eyes radiated brilliance, and he nodded: "Samuel, rest, Rodney, Rodney!" ”
"Ahhh......? In in, in, in! Carney wandered into the world, and the cheerleaders who had just performed on the field rolled their eyes, heard the coach's call, and hurriedly poked his head over to listen carefully.
"It's been a long time since we've played small ball, or rather, we haven't played small ball so far this season. How's that, Lowry, play small ball, no problem, right? ”
Cheeks asked Lowry with a smile on his face as he regained a confident look.
"Yes, in Villanova, the NCAA is playing small ball." Lowry nodded.
"Well, this season's lineup changes, they have neglected to practice small-ball tactics, and they have to catch it again in the future." Cheeks nodded and said, "Today, let's go up and try the effect!" Lowry, Kyle, Rodney, Andre, Chen, you five get on the court, so the defense will be fine! ”
No problem with defense?
The players who were named were stunned when they heard this, and then thought about it according to their respective positions, and it was clear in an instant.
Lowry vs. Paul, I didn't expect Lowry to overpower Paul or limit the queen bee who has the strength to compete for the title of first point guard. As long as Paul doesn't explode, Lowry can play to his strengths. So far, at least, Lowry has done a decent job.
Korver's counterpoint to Bunchwells is, of course, a crushed. But Korver is accurate on the offensive end, and Bunch Wells' defense has always had a lack of concentration, and if he takes advantage of this, Korver could be a breakthrough on the offensive end of the Philadelphia 76ers.
Carney came on the pitch as the No. 3 position, teaming up with Korver to deal with the combination of Bunch Wells and Morris Pieterson, and the last point of defense was blown up. Offensively, he won't lose too much, and he can contain Peterson, the best defender on the outside, and maybe bring some changes to the game.
In the power forward position, Peja on the Hornets was originally a miracle move, bullying Chen Mu with range and movement speed is an inside line, and he has to protect the rebound, so he can't keep up.
But the appearance of Iguodala directly liberated Chen Mu's defensive pressure, and the outside defensive gate that can be ranked in the top 5 ranks in the whole league. It's bound to make Peja very uncomfortable.
As for Chen Mu, when he comes to the center forward position that he has not played for a long time, facing Chandler, he may have some difficulty on the offensive end, but under such a lineup, Chen Mu's main task is not to attack personally, but to ......
"Defensive Defensive Rebounding !!"
"Hahahaha......"
Chen Mu shouted like Evans, and the 76ers players were amused by Chen Mu's vivid imitation. They all laughed out loud, and the originally heavy atmosphere instantly relaxed a lot. Even Milicic, who was sitting at the far end, couldn't help but laugh. Humming and laughing a few times, Evans was unconscious, but stared at Chen Mu with his eyes, and his eyes were filled with a feeling of "I have finally found an organization", and he almost burst into tears.
"Hah...... Chen said it very well! ”
Cheeks laughed: "Small ball, push with defense and quickly counterattack. Their No. 2 position is not fast, Kyle, you have to run a lot, play a fast attack when you have a chance, and use the time difference to shoot them! ”
"Yes!"
“1、2、3、FIGHT!”
The players shouted at their height. The timeout was also over and the players from both teams returned to the court.
"It's ...... Globule??! ”
Paul, who came to the court, was shocked when he saw the 76ers' lineup, replaced him with a swingman at the front, and then promoted the starting small forward to the No. 4 position, which is the same as the strategy of the Hornets. It's just that in order to protect the restricted area and keep the rebound, the Hornets had to replace West, sacrificing West's positional scoring ability and using Chandler to play center.
But the 76ers are more comfortable here, the Chinese kid can play the fourth or fifth position, the interior offense and defense are all-round, one person is present, the inside work can be rounded, Iguodala can rest assured that he can boldly go outside to burn and loot, and there is no need to worry about the problem of the restricted area.
Tyson, can you form a rebounding balance with the Chinese kid......?
Paul had such a mind that he thought of the most important key point behind this strategy in an instant, and looked at Chandler worriedly, and the old farmer's expression on his face became even more grim.
The game begins.
76ers player, after Lowry controlled the ball and came to the front court steadily, Chen Mu quickly raised a high cover, and then stood at the free throw line and became a beacon.
Lowry handed over the ball, Chen Mu took the ball at the free throw line, and made a gesture to shoot, causing Chandler under the basket to hurriedly step forward to defend, at this moment, Chen Mu sent a pass.
"Bang!"
Iguodala, who shook off Peja's physical warrior two streets in terms of speed, made a wonderful counterrun, bypassed the cover given by Lowry, who ran empty-handed after handing over the ball, and hit the basket to catch the ball is a violent dunk score.
“ANDRE!!!!!”
Iguodala stretched abnormally this time, and his movements were like flying dragons in the sky, which was very chic, causing the fans to burst into enthusiastic shouts in an instant, especially the roars of male fans, which shook the stadium floor and trembled slightly.
“YES!!”
Iguodala, who completed the dunk, was also very excited, waved and cheered after landing, and turned around to high-five Chen Mu while loading the fork, which pushed the atmosphere of the court to a higher point.
Sure enough, it's running back!
Paul took the baseline ball, shook his head and sighed as he controlled the ball and pushed forward.
Peja plays the No. 4 position, in addition to coming up to disgust the Chinese kid with range and seeking tactical changes, there is also an important reason, that is, Peja's physical fitness is too different from Iguodala.
In the first quarter, Iguodala scored three goals with this kind of counter-run air cut, and every time he scored and roared, Peja didn't even score in the three-second zone.
So when Scott proposed to use Peja to play the No. 4 position, Paul raised his hands in favor, Peja's speed disadvantage is not so obvious in the No. 4 position, maybe the defensive end will be blown up by the Chinese kid, but don't we still have Tyson!
You must know that Tyson's ability to assist in defense is the key reason why he can win a big contract.
Unexpectedly, the magic is one foot tall and one foot high, Scott sacrificed a small-ball lineup, the outside Wells became the main attack point of the inside, and the inside Peja became the outside three-point point, such a strange tactic, Cheeks actually found a way to crack it, and this method is so simple and direct.
Globule.
Yes, this season, the 76ers' lineup has undergone a lot of changes, with new players coming in, especially the targeted reinforcements of Milicic and Evans on the interior bench, so that the 76ers have two sets of completely different styles, but they are both standard lineups with personnel in all positions.
Last season, as well as last season, the 76ers, who frequently used small lineups and used Chinese boys to play the role of center, have not used this tactic even once since the beginning of this season. The reason is very simple, in the past, the small-ball lineup was used, and that was because the 76ers interior players were tight and the bench strength was too poor, so they had to do it as a last resort.
Now that you have a qualified rotation inside, why play any small-ball tactics?
So today, the reason why the 76ers used small-ball tactics is naturally because of the adjustment to the Hornets and gave their own answer.
The Hornets attacked, and Paul didn't hesitate to hoist the ball to Wells.
Our strong point is always Wells!
Paul's heart is like a mirror, whether it is Korver or Carney, there is nothing to do in the face of Wells.
Wells received the ball and leaned on, Korver behind him was not his opponent at all, and with a stumbling foot, Wells turned around and almost rushed into the interior with Korver on his shoulders.
With a roar, Wells jumped hard, and Korver behind him had no way to stop the beast, so he could only stretch out his hand and wave symbolically, and he had basically given up resistance.
That's right!
Paul's heart rejoiced,
But just when the basketball was shot, a shadow appeared in front of Paul's eyes, and at this moment, he was vaguely in a trance, as if he saw the black shadow that appeared behind him when he flew to the basket shortly after the start of the first quarter.
"Bang!"
Thunder and fire, thunderbolt cap!
"Roar ......!!!"
The Chinese kid let Chandler go, jumped up and jumped high, and with a wave of one hand, he smashed Wells' basketball down. After he landed, he looked up to the sky and roared, expressing the evil anger in his heart.
This guy ...... See through!
Paul let out a long sigh, shook his head helplessly, and trotted towards the baseline, ready to catch the ball and continue to attack.
This Chinese kid saw through that Bunch didn't like to pass, so he let go of Tyson to make up for the block.
What a terrible guy......!
Paul thought so, took the baseline ball, no longer paid attention to Wells, who was crazy under the basket and wanted to score above Chen Mu's head, but dribbled the ball himself, waved his hand to signal Chandler to come up to block the dismantling, and then accelerated and rushed to the ribs.
Lowry hurriedly followed, waving his arm to prevent Paul from having a chance to make a move, and Chen Mu also stood by the passing route between Paul and Chandler, his right hand ready to reach out at any time, and use his mid-way ball interception stunt.
Paul then tosses the ball high.
Under the basket, Chandler jumped smartly, raised his hands high, the basketball crossed the top of Chen Mu's head, fell above the basket, was grabbed by Chandler's big hand, and smashed into the basket.
The aerial relay, the fame of Paul and Chandler. (To be continued......)
PS: Is the ball the future? What do you think? Will the league become a world of small balls in the future?
Of course, the most important thing is whether the rules will be changed!
