Chapter 850: The Twin Point Guards
Brown's several protests were to no avail, and in his anger he could only call a timeout, venting his anger on the players:
"Look at your watch, it's as soft as a banana! I always thought you were gentlemen, but I was wrong! Am I directing a WNBA team? Ha, even the girls won't be worse than you! Look at your expressions now, look at what you were like before, are you Eastern Conference champions? Stand up straight and give me up! What are you ****** afraid of? They use their fists, don't you have fists? Show me all your fierceness, even if your fists and feet are broken, then go and shred these bitches with your teeth! β
Jamison lowered his head and pouted secretly, this grandson really doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, ******, he thinks that the iron-blooded army soul is said to have it? Who let you usually lead the team only kneel and lick James, now it's okay, only according to Mashames's preferences to choose people to build the team, there used to be a strong and good fighting big book was sent away by you, and now there is no one available for hard stubble, right? Deserve!
Thinking so, Jamison raised his head and quickly glanced at the expressions of his teammates, and found that the old guy O'Neal was also pouting.
The two glanced at each other, and then found the disdain in each other's eyes at the same time, and suddenly staggered their eyes a little embarrassed, but then, the two looked at each other and smiled, quite a kind of hero's feeling of seeing the same.
Brown is also quite a headache now, there are really not many people he can use, James, O'Neal, Vallejo, Jamison, Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson, just these few people can use it.
Others are the likes of JJ Hickson, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, Leon Bowie, Sebastian Telfe, Daniel Gibson, Danny Green, Jevard Williams, and the like.
Anthony Parker was a coquettish in Europe at the time, so when he decided to return to the NBA last summer, it sparked a battle in which the Warriors were the losing side.
At that time, Iverson used his personal connections, but he still couldn't get this tall defender.
As a result, one season later, Anthony Parker once again proved the truth that a player who is suitable for the Euroleague is definitely not a good fit in the NBA, and his career with the Cavaliers has been a failure, averaging less than 7 points and 4 assists per game this season.
But at this time, Brown has no better choice, Xiao Mo is too brainless, although his offensive ability is really not said, but he can't control the overall situation of the Cavaliers, and Anthony Parker still has to play.
After the timeout, West also returned, and he and Curry formed a young and firepower outside pairing, and in the last five minutes of the first quarter, West and Curry simultaneously pressed Anthony.
Anthony is tall and has the advantage of vision, but he also has a disadvantage, that is, his center of gravity is too high, and he is prone to being broken when he is pressed.
But fortunately, he was a veteran, and he passed the ball to James, and then West pounced on James from behind, at this time he wore a mask on his face, which was quite a bit of the power of a mask man, James had to pass the ball again, but was cut off by Curry, who was looking at him.
The Warriors launched a counterattack, Curry controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Anthony and James, who returned to the defense, built a defense line in time to suppress their fast break, and at this time Chamberlain also killed, and Curry passed the ball to him.
When the ball was in his hand, Chamberlain turned around so that the ball went with him, he cut into the box sideways, hit his shoulder inward, and raised the ball with his right hand to hook and shoot.
O'Neill and Vallejo pressed up from the left and right wings, and after Chamberlain lifted the ball, O'Neill stepped up and raised his arms, while Vallejo jumped up, so that whether Chamberlain feinted or not, someone would deal with him.
Chamberlain knew how powerful his opponent was, and he waited for Vallejo to jump, then immediately turned around, and quickly stepped to the basket with the wind on the soles of his feet, using flexibility to deal with the big shark with great height.
O'Neal is most troubled by Chamberlain's treacherous under-basket dance steps, even when he was not fat, he was still played by Olajuwon's chrysanthemum with dream dance steps, not to mention that he is so slow now that he is older?
Shaking off Vallejo and bypassing O'Neal, Chamberlain finally did not hit the rim, but stepped back and made a jumper, and with a soft flick of his wrist, he sent the ball into the hoop.
The Warriors extended their advantage to 10 points, and the Cavaliers were in a difficult situation, and they didn't turn out to be so easy to deal with, with Gibson, who had not played in the previous two games, stepping up at this point.
In the face of the Warriors' swift offense, he was not in a hurry, and was very calm on the offensive end, running and shooting, hitting 2 consecutive balls to help the Cavaliers narrow the score gap.
In the last three minutes, Chamberlain asked for the ball again on the inside, he had scored 10 points in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers were helpless against him.
At this time, Ibaka ran back to the high post in time, Chamberlain made a gesture to pass the ball to him, James switched defenses, so Jackson helped Curry cover, Curry ran out of the three-point line, and Chamberlain waved the ball into his hand.
Holding the ball in the hand Curry is like a killing god, he jumps up mercilessly, and it is a three-point killing move!
Anthony controlled the ball and pushed forward, James covered him on the right side of the free throw line, and Anthony shook off West, who had been clinging to him, and rushed inside.
Ibaka, who had been prepared, did not wait for Chamberlain to make a move, and rushed forward to block the front, blocking Anthony's way at once.
Vallejo, who was vacant, did not ask for the ball, but ran two steps backwards to help the little emperor make a cover, James threw off Jackson and rushed out, Anthony's pass also arrived, his ball passed quickly, James got his hand, and immediately jumped up and shot.
The counterattack is successful and the ball falls into the hoop.
But then, the masked West rushed with the ball, he was like a charging war horse, and the indomitable momentum shocked Anthony.
After a series of changes of direction, West grabbed the ball with his right hand and entered the penalty area, Chamberlain pulled the vacancy to take O'Neill, so that the last obstacle was gone, West took off to kill, grabbed the ball with both hands and pulled it to the lower abdomen and then crossed a semicircle, and came with a majestic heavy buckle.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors took an 11-point lead at 29-18.
Brown was anxious like an ant on the Cavaliers bench, and after the players got off the court, he frothed at the mouth and shouted: "Cover for LeBron, you cover for LeBron!" Our strength is the front line, all pull away, and then look for opportunities to cut! β
O'Neill rolled his eyes, and Jamison leaned in front of him, and the big shark whispered, "******, it's all!" β
Jamison sneered and said, "Let this kind of waste be the head coach, the Cavaliers' uniform team has never wanted to win the championship at all!" β
The current Cavaliers really don't have a sense of belonging for veterans like him.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Anthony was still a point guard, and Xiao Mo also played, it seems that Brown is bent on helping James create zΓ o opportunities, and he does not hesitate to use dual point guard tactics.
Dual point guards are usually a style of play used to improve the tempo of the game on the court, which can make up for the lack of interior strength, and is most suitable for playing tactics such as fast break and running and shooting.
This tactic can keep the ball under control, and there is always a point guard who can observe the situation on the court without the ball, and the onlookers are clear and the authorities are confused, so as to ensure that the team does not fall into ball-sharing chaos.
"Double point guard" was once popular, in the 02-03 season, Payton and Cassel had a double point guard combination in the Bucks group, combined with the style of play of the two, Payton is good at defending a certain number of courses on the dΓΉ will alleviate the defensive problem of the double point guard tactics, combined with the chaotic ability and shooting ability of another point guard Cassel, the two people's double point guard tactics have also complemented each other.
In addition, during the old Jazz era, the combination of Stockton and Hornacek used to play the classic two-point guard tactics, but as Stockton got stronger and stronger, the two-point guard was wasted, because Stockton played the ball alone and was more efficient than two people playing the ball.
But there is a condition for playing "double point guard", that is, the point guard who changes to the second position must be tall and strong, otherwise the outside defense will become a big problem.
And now the popular trend of NBA point guards is to be physically strong, in the past Kidd and Billups were role models, and now there is Delon as a template, Xiao Mo is barely a strong guard, and Anthony is tall enough, so Brown's arrangement of this tactic is not nonsense.
The "dual point guards" advance fast, have few ball control errors, and can make up for the weakness of the interior, but the offensive firepower is weak, and the defense is a shortcoming. Therefore, if it is not for the purpose of dealing with injuries or speeding up, the "dual point guards" can be used, but they cannot be used for a long time.
The league now recognizes the tactical value of "dual point guards", which is limited to speeding up in the rotation and adapting in the playoffs.
Nelson Sr. changed that view, and the Warriors were all too familiar with the two-point guard game.
The Warriors' four guards, except for Billups, who is a pure point guard, are all known as scoring guards, and in fact, they can also play point guards.
Brown suddenly used this tactic at this time, and I don't know if he was paying homage to old Nelson.
But it's more likely that he's dizzy now.
The opening of the second quarter belongs to the Cavaliers, Xiao Mo controls the ball and runs to the frontcourt, he has the ability to deliver three-point fire, and he takes a few steps outside the three-point line to jump, seeing this, the vigilant West raised his center of gravity, as long as Xiao Mo dares to jump, he dares to cover!
How dare Xiao Mo pull out three points in such a situation? He drew West's attention and passed the ball to Anthony, who bullied Curry with his height advantage, and when he saw O'Neal under the basket, he passed the ball.
Jamison also came off the bench, and he was flexible in the high and low positions, and Chamberlain had to give up the inside to defend it.
O'Neal pushed Ibaka with his back, Chamberlain turned around and was about to wrap up, Jamison immediately went sideways, and O'Neill passed the ball into his hands.
Seeing the big shark passing, Chamberlain followed, and Jamison took advantage of the situation to kill, at this time O'Neal ran out from under the basket again, just stuck Chamberlain, Jamison broke through successfully, shook off Chamberlain and entered the penalty area.
There was only one Ibaka left in front of him, and Jamison was about to abuse the rookie with his nimble footsteps, but after he broke through, a large hand reached out from behind him!
Jamison slapped a large hand on the ball he was about to put away, and pulled the ball down with a slap.
Shocked, Jamison hurriedly turned around and saw Chamberlain jumping up frantically from behind and cutting off the ball!
Not only is he capable, but he is also self-motivated, Chamberlain, like West and Curry, is also so desperate!
It's easy to understand, as the boss and core of the Warriors, if Chamberlain wasn't so desperate, how could others be convinced?
In the Analects of Confucius, Confucius said: "His body is upright, and he does not obey orders; His body is not right, although he does not obey orders", Chamberlain understood this truth very well.
Ibaka bent down to pick up the ball quickly, and West and Curry were also double point guards, with both of them opening their hands for the ball almost at the same time, and then almost simultaneously pulling their feet and rushing to the front court.
Grabbed the ball, West and Curry hit the frontcourt one after the other, and the outside Cavaliers were full of talent, and the two point guards and James almost all set up the defense before the two, so that the Warriors' fast break was destroyed.
Chamberlain was running down, and everyone thought that Curry would wait for Chamberlain to attack, but Curry, who ran outside the three-point line, looked inside, retracted his galloping body, pulled up the ball and shot it away!
It's three points again!
