Chapter 499 The Craziest Plan

Hu is in possession of the ball. This time he still used a pick-and-roll to form a breakthrough situation, but the ball is obvious, and the opponent still has no room for him to break through. Generals Ray Allen and Rondo blocked Lao Hu's attack. Facing this situation, Lao Hu immediately passed the ball again.

Howard, the veteran Juwan Howard received the ball inside, and he shot the basket very well in one hand. This time he also plans to play a little bit, ready to shoot after receiving the ball.

The wolf king is here again, he must control his own territory, the basket is his territory, anyone here must think carefully, because your ball is likely to be dunked like a volleyball in the next second fly out.

With a bang, he hit the ground and passed the ball. As soon as the wolf king came out, the veteran immediately passed the ball to the other side of the inside line. The one who received the ball was David Lee. At this time, he happened to appear under the basket and could score easily. .

However, the opponent is the Celtics, and their inside defense is very strong.

Ryan Bowie was in the front and Paul Pierce was watching from the back. Anyway, in this part, the Celtics formed a numerical advantage again.

Whoosh!After a strong play, Lao Li immediately flicked the ball towards the baseline in his direction, where Eddie House was already in ambush.

Swish!Three points hit!

"Shhhhh!..." "Fack!" "DAMN!" The quality is not low, especially in Boston, which is home to many famous universities in the United States, but now these guys don't care about quality at all, they just want to curse people.

Beep!Not long after this goal, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

59 to 56, the Mavericks were only 3 points behind their opponents after halftime.

What? 3 points? !

That's right, it's three points. It's really unbelievable that a lineup without a center is only three points behind, but that's the way it is, it just happened.

"Unbelievable, I can't believe what I saw, but it happened, allow me to do one thing, I take back what I said before, the Mavericks are not crazy, I am afraid I am crazy, and the Mavericks are not crazy , They did a great job!" It was not easy for Barkley to 'break his promise' for the first time, but this guy is very sincere now, and he seems to be moved by the performance of the Mavericks.

"OK, I also take back what I said before." Miller also stepped in.

"Well... Reggie, what do you want to accept?" Smith interjected at this time.

"Damn it, I forgot myself."

"Hahaha……"

Well, TNT is still very happy here.

"I'm confused, I should say stupid, I'm completely stupid, I don't understand why, why does this lineup that looks so weird have such an effect?! It's not scientific! It doesn't conform to normal basketball theory !" Van Gundy was not only confused, he was almost incoherent.

"Hehehe... It was a very good first half, and I am very much looking forward to the performance of the two teams in the second half." Brian didn't care whether it was scientific or not.

There are so many people who are not in science, and some people care about rationality.

"The Mavericks are playing reasonably! Do you see it, score in and out, score in and out, I shoot when I have a chance, see if it is reasonable, let's look at this return defense. The ball goes in, if it doesn't work, it comes out, man More, okay, let's pick and roll, after the pick and roll, pass again, look, the inside opportunity has come, here it is!..." Teacher Zhang explained to the screen what a reasonable basketball is.

"Hehe, indeed, none of us thought that the Mavericks played extremely reasonable basketball with a very unreasonable lineup.

"Well, the ball is playing well. Whether it is offense or defense, the Mavericks have played their own characteristics. They are such a team. If they play like this, then it will be fine. There is no need for anything, as long as they insist on playing their own things. That's enough." Teacher Su praised the Mavericks in disguise.

"Well, yes...that's right..." Yu Jia's work became simple again.

So what is going on?Is the reason why the Mavericks can bite the score is because of these opinions of experts?
There is something right, but the current style of play of the Mavericks is actually a countermeasure that Lao Hu came up with.

It turned out that when Nowitzki was here, the Mavericks were a traditional American team with fast speed and good defense. Their record is very good.

However, after Nowitzki was injured, the Mavericks lacked a large piece of offense and defense because of the inside line, and they had no way to make up for this piece, so their performance plummeted.That is to say, what we saw was that the Celtics won two games in a row, and they were suddenly cornered.

If there is a problem, we must find a solution, and Carlisle's solution is to 'make up'!
That's right, it's just a word 'make up'. If it doesn't work, I'll make up for it. If Nowitzki goes down and lacks height, then I will go to Dampier. If the inside defense is not good, I will use more blue-collar inside. Anyway, I want to defend Do it well, defense wins the championship, this is a wise saying, there is no problem with it.

Carlisle's approach was right, but he ignored that he was on the Mavericks and that his opponent was the Celtics.

Why do you say that?Then we have to start with why the Mavericks can win three games in a row.

It's very simple. Everyone knows who the biggest contributor to winning three games in a row is Nowitzki. In fact, Nowitzki's credit is not in terms of statistics. He scored more than 30 points in each game and grabbed ten points in each game. A few rebounds, which are actually not particularly important.What is really important is that the presence of Nowitzki makes it impossible for the Celtics to give full play to their inside advantage!
That's the point!
Maybe Nowitzki doesn't attack the rim a lot, maybe this guy looks like a shooting jerk, but he can score, it's a super threat.

Because of Nowitzki, Wolf King Garnett can't put all his energy on the basket, because only his height can affect Nowitzki's shooting on the field, although the Wolf King doesn't need every All the balls came out, but the Wolf King had to pay attention to the German with every ball, which made the Celtics' basket very unstable.

For example, even if Hu Lin breaks through, the Wolf King has to consider whether the ball is going to be passed to the German, so how can he focus on defense?
Therefore, with Nowitzki's extraordinary performance, the Mavericks are simply invincible, because the Celtics' defense is equal to being useless, and their strongest weapon is suppressed, so how can they win?
Therefore, without Nowitzki, the Celtics would immediately win two consecutive victories, and Lao Hu's method was also thought of from this point.

Without Nowitzki, there is no advantage inside, so what should we do?As desperately as Carlisle to fill the gap in the paint?
NO!

The solution that Lao Hu thought of was not to make up, but to abandon!
To put it bluntly, since the inside line is no longer good, let's simply do it, I don't want the inside line, okay? !

This is a very bold idea, because in normal basketball theory, this is completely unacceptable, and you will definitely lose!
But the problem is, Lao Hu is now in the NBA, the Mavericks!
NBA is the basketball theory of the United States. It is three-dimensional. That is to say, they don’t want to focus on height like China. They value strength and speed more. A person without athletic ability can’t become a basketball superstar no matter how tall he is. Of course , he is likely to become a Guinness star, but the NBA will not be interested in such a person.

The Mavericks just lost their height now. As for Dampier, although this guy has height, he is getting weaker and weaker. It is really embarrassing. So, let's just ignore the height and let's play with strength and speed!

Strength, speaking of individual players, I'm sorry, but the Celtics team consisting of Wolf King Garnett, Perkins or Ryan Bowie won the game. This is a fact that cannot be changed.

However, the power to play in basketball does not depend on one person sometimes. Basketball is a collective sport. This makes multiplayer defense in the interior possible.

Next, it is speed. In this regard, there is no doubt that the advantage lies with the Mavericks. Maybe the Celtics have Rondo and Ray Allen. These are players with good speed. However, compared with the Mavericks, then It's really not enough to watch, and, don't forget, the average age of the Celtics is not young, just a little worse than the Spurs.

Therefore, Lao Hu’s solution is to give up, give up the inside line, we simply play fast, and then the defense is also simple, isn’t it just a zone defense, but our zone defense is to pile up people hard, pile people into the penalty area, as long as the basket If you don't get blown away, you Celtics can shoot as much as you want outside. Sorry, we can't take care of that much.

This is a very bold idea, so bold that Lao Hu is not sure about it. Moreover, without an insider, there are a lot less means.

So, Lao Hu thought of another way. Although he discarded the inside line, it didn't mean that he didn't play the inside line. This is a very, very contradictory thing, but the current Mavericks can do this.

It is easy to attack quickly, and with Lao Hu's combing, all these are easy to solve, but there is no inside line, which is too big a disadvantage in positional warfare, and it affects the outside attack.Therefore, Lao Hu needs to play inside, and the Mavericks can also play.

The Mavericks are not entirely a team of young people, they also have veterans, Howard, Stackhouse, Eddie Jones, and even Lao Li, who has a good basketball IQ, can help Lao Hu realize his plan.

Lao Hu's abandoning the inside and playing inside, to put it bluntly, is to let the inside players pass the ball, as long as they can pass, then the ball will be easy to play!
　Still looking for a recommendation, thank you very much.
