Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 98 The Knicks' incomprehensible tacticsAsk for a monthly pass! ! 】

Let's talk about the starters on the field first.

Visiting Knicks: center Darko Milicic, power forward David Lee, small forward Daroni Gallinari, point guard Chris Duhon, shooting guard, Lu Ming!

Home team Nets: center Brook Lopez, power forward Chris Humphries, small forward Douglas Roberts, shooting guard Courtney Lee, point guard Devin Harris.

Basically, except for the injured Yi Jianlian, the two sides continued the main lineup from the last meeting.

The two centers stood still in the middle circle, and the referee held the ball in one hand and threw the basketball into the air.

When Milicic jumped up, he roared again, which has become his hallmark of jumping the ball.

Lopez, who was prepared, was no longer frightened by Milicic, and successfully transferred the basketball to guard Devin Harris.

The Nets get the ball for the first time.

In the first offensive round of the Nets, Devin Harris honestly hit the ball to the inside, and finally Lopez ended it and beat Milicic.

It's a pity that when Lopez made the last shot, his strength was a little bit weak, the basketball bounced out of the basket, and Milicic grabbed an offensive rebound.

After Milicic grabbed the rebound, Lu Ming quickly ran towards the half court.

But Courtney Lee, who didn't participate in the attack at all, followed Lu Ming without any hesitation, without thinking about whether there would be a second attack chance.

Without a chance to make a long pass and fast break, Milicic handed over the basketball to Duhon.

Du Hong dribbled the ball across the half court, and then organized an attack at a 45-degree angle on the left.

In the first offensive round of the Knicks, Barkley, the on-site commentator, saw something different, "Kenny, did you see that, it seems that the Knicks' offensive strategy, in this game, has some minor adjustments."

"Really? It should be just a coincidence." Kenny Smith looked at it and felt that it was indeed different from the previous game.

But not so sure.

In the original first attack, Du Hong basically dribbled the ball across half court, then handed over the basketball to Lu Ming, and he organized the first wave of offense, either suddenly, shooting or passing.

But for the Knicks' first attack, Lu Ming just wandered one step inside the 45-degree three-point line, without any intention of reaching out for the ball.

D'Antoni sat on the sidelines, kind of trying to write a few words on the tactical board.

Hand over the damn basketball to Lu Ming.

This kind of thing, 12 years later, Kidd also did it.

Closer to home.

The day before the game, Lu Ming approached him personally, talked about the team's current offensive imbalance, and said, "Mr. Coach, we should allow more players to participate in the offense."

Shouldn't it be, should the ball be handed over to someone who is more confident?

D'Antoni was a little puzzled, but didn't ask.

D'Antoni is good at mathematics. He believes that three-pointers are one point more than two-pointers. He believes that the most efficient players should take more shots, which is the greatest help to the team.

But Lu Ming held the opposite opinion, "Mr. Coach, basketball is a sport for five people, or even nine people."

"If the team has the strongest offensive point, and at the same time, under the strong offensive point, there are one or two good offensive points, and three or five stable offensive points that can be relied on, then that is what a strong team should look like."

"Otherwise, it's actually easy to kill a team with too obvious arrows."

After listening to it, D'Antoni temporarily agreed with Lu Ming's suggestion, and decided to try this strategy first when playing against a weak team like the Nets.

If it works, use it more.

After all, the core of the team has the mind to give up part of the ball. He, D'Antoni, is the originator of the running and bombing world. It is impossible that he doesn't even have the mind to listen to players' tactical opinions, right?
It's not about grabbing the tactical board, it doesn't matter.

Give it a try, what if it works?

In the eyes of outsiders, that is the credit of D'Antoni!
Haha!

However, on the first attack, this strategy was killed.

As a traditional guard, Duhon's height somewhat limited his passing vision, so he finally had to choose to break through and then divide the ball to resolve the Nets' defense.

But the basketball that was assigned was returned to Lu Ming after Qing Galina succeeded.

It seems that teammates are a little uncomfortable with this tactical change.

Or, in the previous ten or so games, they already had some game inertia thinking?

After Lu Ming received the ball on the weak side, there were only 13 seconds left in the attack time, so he immediately made a standard three-threat stance.

Of course, it's definitely not the kind of stomping in place.

Three threats, pass, shoot, or drive.

These three items have been remarked by the head coach of any team, especially the team that has played against the Knicks, or is about to play, or is playing against the Knicks. These are Lu Ming's technical expertise.

But these three items are actually the technical foundation of Lu Ming.

Among these three threats, there are two items of mid-range shooting and passing after the breakthrough, which are the basic skills of Lu Ming's basic skills.

Therefore, Courtney Lee, who got the defensive arrangement from the head coach, basically took a step back and focused on defending against Lu Ming's breakthrough, and then the other players defended a defensive target to prevent Lu Ming's pass.

But defense is not something that can be done well if it is arranged for everyone.

Talent is important, but the integrity of defense is even more important.

Without an overall defense that has been polished for a long time, it is vulnerable to an excellent offensive system.

I saw that Lu Ming spent a second or two observing the positions of his teammates and the defensive positions of the opponent's players, and immediately made an offensive choice. He did not call for a pick-and-roll, but just two large dribbles, and broke through Courtney Lee's defense.

Inside, the two insiders of the Nets, Chris Humphries and David Lee's arms are almost entangled together, while Lopez at the basket, while using his body to block Milicic behind him, is always ready to be defended against Lu Ming's attack.

Like an enemy.

Lopez is actually very helpless for this junior who has only met a few times, but because he is from the same school and has a good relationship.

There is no way but helplessness.

When Lu Ming played in the NCAA, Lopez went back to Stanford several times and personally defended Lu Ming's offense. At the beginning, he had the upper hand. Lu Ming made ten offenses and scored twice, which is considered lucky.

But later, when the NCAA ended, he was shocked to find that his defense seemed to be full of loopholes in front of Lu Ming.

Although he knew what level his defense was in the NBA, and he also knew that being a center and defending a shooting guard was a misplacement, but at that time Lopez knew that after entering the NBA, this junior would definitely be able to play well.

I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

In Lopez's momentary memory, Courtney Lee immediately turned around to follow after being breached, and still kept her body close to Lu Ming, not giving him a comfortable space and rhythm.

At this time, Lu Ming, who was about to rush to the inside line, suddenly took a step to the right, throwing off Courtney Lee's body pressure, and quickly received the ball, jumped up, and threw the basketball out in one go.

brush!
The next moment, the basketball rushed in.

2: 0!

Among the four insiders scrambling for rebounds under the basket, two Knicks players began to run towards the half court, while the other three immediately returned to defense. Lopez picked up the basketball and slowly sent the baseline ball.

The Nets' offensive rhythm is not fast, even a bit slow.

The style is completely inconsistent with their lineup, which is mostly composed of young people.

In the slow-paced game, on the commentary, Barkley analyzed the Knicks' first offensive strategy, "Although from the results, it was finally Lu who ended up. But in terms of position, it seems that Lu is now more like a pure shooting guard than a point guard."

"It doesn't make sense, does it?"

In the recent commentary on the Knicks, Kenny Smith, who has hardly seen a bias, and does not even go through the process of standing on the opposite side, has seen the change in the Knicks' offensive strategy, but he can't figure out the reason.

"It really doesn't make sense. If I were coach D'Antoni, I would send a real shooting guard, replace the current point guard, and let Lu be the organizer." Barkley's thoughts are also the thoughts of most people.

"Maybe they are rehearsing new tactics." Kenny Smith gave a guess.

"Then the head coach is a bit too arrogant." Barkley didn't know what to do recently. He either stood in D'Antoni's position and considered how to coach Lu Ming, or directly criticized D'Antoni's coaching.

"Ha ha!"

The commentary was lively, but the game on the court was not so lively.

In the offensive round of the Nets, it seems that in addition to handing the ball to Lopez, the only thing left is to hand the ball to Devin Harris to attack.

As for the team's current third scorer, Courtney Lee, seems to have set a role today, focusing on defense and light offense.

The all-star backup guard Devin Harris, who has average positional combat ability, faced Duhon's defense and broke through hard to the basket, but was interfered by David Lee, who came to help defend, and could only choose to split the ball.

After Douglas Roberts received the ball, time was running out. Facing Gallinari's defense, he missed a hasty shot and the rebound was snatched by David Lee with his sense of smell.

David Lee didn't see an opportunity for a fast break and gave Duhon the basketball.

The Knicks' offense is still the strategy of the first offense, and even the next few times.

Most of the time, Lu Ming used inconspicuous running positions to tear up the Nets' defense, and then used pick-and-rolls and air cuts to create space for his teammates to attack.

In about 6 minutes, Gallinari, who had the most bonuses, had already made three three-pointers and hit two of them, scoring 6 points.

At this time, Lu Ming only had 4 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. If you only look at the statistics, it seems that there is no sense of existence at all.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that in this game, Lu Ming is trying to use another somewhat extreme method to influence the trend of the game.

"Student, it's a little too small for you to do this!" When the team executed a free throw, Lopez was substituted off the field. After seeing that the team was already behind by 5 points, he muttered complainingly as he walked past Lu Ming.

"Senior, I'm sorry to give you a 13-game losing streak." When Lu Ming spoke, he couldn't see any embarrassment at all.

"Shet! I hate 13!" Lopez said, pushing Lu Ming gently.

Then Lu Ming fell to the ground.
