Chapter 53 Lin Bai's Tactics

At the beginning of the second quarter, the lineups of both sides underwent a major rotation.

Point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Ricky Davis, small forward Ira Nubell, power forward Darius Myers, center Desagner Diop.

For the Pistons, Bob Sura replaced Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton was still full of energy, did not replace the rest, and led the offense in the second quarter, Collis Williams replaced Ty Sean Prince, Ben Wallace rested, Mehmet Okur changed to power forward, and veteran Eldon Campbell took the center position.

After playing several rounds, the Pistons' multi-point offensive play in the first quarter disappeared instantly, and the offense was in trouble.

In the final analysis, Larry Brown is a defensive coach. In the 76ers, he played four-man defense and Iverson one-man offense.

In the 76ers, although Iverson leads the offense alone, his defensive strength is not weak.

Although, due to the natural defensive dislocation in height, opponents can easily choose to break through Iverson's defense, but you must know that Iverson has won the honor of stealing four times, and has been selected as the best defense Player for a while.

How weak will Iverson's defense be?

The 76ers, on the surface, are a 'four-man defense', but the offensive strength of Coleman, McGee and other players is also very good.

It's just that Larry Brown is a defensive coach and doesn't know how to play players' offensive areas.

Larry Brown came to the Pistons and won because of his defensive strength.

His offensive tactics mainly rely on star singles. In the first quarter, there are many talented players in the starting lineup. It just so happens that Hamilton is in a very good state. It is not uncommon for him to occasionally play a multi-point offensive situation.

The second quarter kicked off and the rotation players were replaced. After only a few minutes of playing, the Pistons showed their prototype. The offense was extremely poor, and they could only fight defensively.

Larry Brown has just come to the Pistons not long ago, and his tactical play and lineup building have not yet been well integrated. If he wants to achieve results, he can only focus more on building the starting lineup.

As for the second team, he does not have too many players. Rasheed Wallace is in the Trail Blazers and has not yet entered the pit. In the 03 draft, he picked Milicic who is full of talents , a little poor performance, and immediately fell into the limbo.

In Lin Bai's previous life, although the Pistons reached the pinnacle of the NBA and won the championship in the 03-04 season, everyone praised the Pistons instead of emphasizing the bench gangsters like the Sacramento Kings.

Of course, the Pistons still have potential, but Larry Brown obviously can't use it, and he hasn't been traded to a strongman.

Although Hamilton was still on the court in the second quarter, he didn't have the ability to attack with the ball. When the substitute players failed to support the pass, his off-the-ball running skills were much lackluster and could not be used at all.

The Cavaliers played steadily, shrinking the inside line defensively, and relying on the impact of James and Ricky in turn, the score was not pulled away, but recovered a few points.

At halftime, the Cavaliers trailed the Pistons by 43 points 52 to 9.

In the second quarter, Hamilton made 5 of 4 shots and scored 8 points. However, the smooth offense of the Pistons disappeared and he only scored 19 points in the whole quarter.

Before entering the locker room, Lin Bai took out the [Rainbow Fruit] and threw it directly into the Cavaliers' offensive half. After looking at the area where the shot was made, he turned and left.

"Next, the players out there are point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Lin Bai, small forward Jason Kapono, power forward Darius Miles, center Zajunas Irgo Skas." In the locker room, Lin Bai directly announced the roster for the second half.

Immediately afterwards, he took over the tactics panel, drew a circle, and talked about the next tactics, "Defensively, we can't be so passive like the first quarter, we have to focus on me.

We play a zone defense tactic, the four shrink the inside and let them shoot three-pointers. James presses Billups who holds the ball and can shoot three-pointers.

The only difficulty now is Hamilton's off-the-ball running position. If he runs around, our defensive formation will be broken up. Therefore, I decided to ignore Hamilton's running position and just guard our defensive area. The Pistons couldn't kill us with two-pointers. "

Finally, after arranging the defensive tactics, Lin Bai thought for a while, and drew a few circles on the tactical panel, which was the red shooting area of ​​Rainbow Fruit, and then said: "During the quick counterattack, use your physical talents to the fullest. If you have the opportunity, you will resolutely shoot.

In the positional battle, playing a combination of internal and external tactics, Ilgauskas did not let Ben Wallace go around the front to defend, and was ready to catch the ball and singled out at any time. After double-teaming, he split the ball out of the perimeter. , enough for them to drink a jug;

On the outside, Miles, you are very important. I want you to play against Hamilton, destroy his defense, provide cover for teammates' offense, and be ready to cut the basket at any time, catch the ball and attack the basket.

James organized support, and his teammates ran out of space to score the ball in time. There was no chance, and they directly played singles with the ball.

Kapono stood at the left three-point corner, ready to catch the ball at any time, and used the corner three-pointer to break the Pistons' zone defense tactics; as for Lin Bai, he would adapt to the situation and look for opportunities for three-point shots from the outside. "

After arranging the offensive and defensive tactics, Lin Bai clapped his hands vigorously, and loudly boosted morale: "We have lost four games in a row, and it's time for us to win. The Pistons are very strong, but it's me When the flag is up, let's show our courage and challenge the Pistons! The Cavaliers will win!!"

Come back in the second half, the game starts, and the Cavaliers have the ball.

James dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Ilgauskas was in the low position on the left, and was defended by Ben Wallace and had no chance to catch the ball.

On the right side, Miles also directly entangled Hamilton according to the tactics. Lin Bai seized the opportunity, ran back, came to the right 60 degrees, and reached out to receive a pass from James.

This is a field goal red zone!
When the man arrives and the ball arrives, Lin Bai didn't make any adjustments, and just made a three-point shot. The moment the basketball was lifted from Lin Bai's fingertips, he felt that the ball was there!
Okur was directly stunned by Myers's exchange tactics. When he jumped at Lin Bai, he took another counter-run. When he jumped at Lin Bai again, he could only watch the basketball fly to the basket. .

There was a clear sound, and the basketball hit the net in response, and the white net flowers splashed.

46 to 52! !
At the beginning of the second half, Lin Bai of the Cavaliers made a jump shot with a three-pointer, which was the head start.

With surprise on his face, Barkley said with a smile: "The Cavaliers have played a three-pointer, but they didn't expect to arrange Miles to pester Hamilton, which caught the Pistons by surprise. Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Bai counterattacked." After running out of open space, I have to mention one point, Lin Bai, a player, has a good mid-range shooting ability, and his three-point shooting percentage is not low!!"

Kenny Smith nodded, took over the topic, and continued: "That's true, Lin Bai is similar to Hamilton, and he is a good shooter! One has a good mid-range shot, and the other has a good three-pointer, haha , Two points vs. three points, how should the Pistons respond?

Billups dribbles up front, huh?How's that for the Cavaliers' defense?Hamilton is actually empty on the left..."

The offensive and defensive transition, the Pistons attacked, Billups dribbled to the frontcourt organization, James stepped forward to close the press, and the other four Cavaliers players shrank the inside line and stood in the zone defense.

Hamilton's footsteps are so fast, he keeps shuttling, but finds that no one is following him, just when he thought he could easily catch the ball and make a shot.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bai moved, and went directly to James to make a two-person press against Billups.

Billups protected the ball well, escaped the pressure of James and Lin Bai, and gave the ball to Prince who came to meet him. After dribbling and breaking through, the Cavaliers shrunk their defense again, and Prince returned the basketball to Billups S, reorganize.

Hamilton turned around again, using a change of direction during the march plus a reverse run, 45 degrees to the right, ran out of an open space, and received a timely pass from Billups.

Jumped high, made a two-point open jumper, and made a steady shot into the basket, 46 to 56! !
Hamilton's running position is superb, and the CIC is still accurate.

Outside the stadium, the home fans and audience cheered bursts, and the applause fell like rain.
