NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 152 Unlimited Switching
After returning from this substitution, since the Bobcats gave up their previous man-to-man defensive tactics, they defended a three-two zone defense.

As a defensive tactic, the three-two defense can well prevent outside three-pointers.

But as a zone defense tactic, his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the two bottom corners.

But Liu Rui's purpose is very clear, now that the twin tower lineup has been released on the field.

Then there is no need to play fast with the Suns at the last moment. After all, at critical moments, the Suns have Nash, a master field controller, and it is easier to control the rhythm and reduce mistakes.

But the Bobcats are different. The Bobcats are a group of young players. If they still disrupt the game at the last moment, they will easily make some low-level mistakes.

So Liu Rui decided to slow down the tempo for the time being, and put up a three-two defense on the defensive end, allowing Okafor and Brezek to invest more energy on the offensive end.

And Liu Rui deliberately let the players expand their defensive range, that is, deliberately exposed a flaw in the mid-range position.

Forces the Suns to take the final shot from mid-range between the two corners.

If the Suns can make this kind of ball, then Liu Rui's tactics will be self-defeating.

But Liu Rui was just betting, forcing the Suns to shoot mid-range shots from the two bottom corners.

Because Liu Rui didn't believe that he could make a shot every time because of the mid-range shots.

Compared with the sun's pick-and-roll and three-pointers, the mid-range can be regarded as the least lethal weapon for the Bobcats.

Nash handles the ball and takes a look at the Bobcats lineup.

Still asked Stoudemire to mention the high position to perform a pick-and-roll, but everyone on the Bobcats is very sure of their position.

Putting up a three-two defense tactic is to block the Suns' three-pointers.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Nash found the right opportunity to distribute the ball to Richardson who fell in the bottom corner.

But Ariza expanded his defensive range on the left side, putting more pressure on the perimeter.

Seeing this situation, Richardson dribbled the ball directly from outside the three-point line to kill.

But before Okafor came out of the inside defense, he directly chose a mid-range shot with an emergency stop.

Bang~
Richardson's shot missed the basket, and the defensive rebound was accepted by Brezek under the basket.

Because the Bobcats are defending a three-two zone defense, Blazek and Okafor are standing at the basket.

Duhon and Ariza took care of the left and right respectively, leaving the middle to Wallace.

Wallace's ability to assist in defense is the best in the game, and he can make good remedies in the face of mispositions and pick-and-rolls in the middle.

So at this moment, after Brezek received the defensive rebound, Wallace was in the middle of the court, and he burst out with strength and rushed forward.

But the Suns also retreated very quickly. Brezek took a look at the frontcourt and felt that there was not a good chance.

So he handed the ball to Du Hong beside him, and did not take the risk of making this long pass.

After Duhon dribbled the ball for halftime, Brezek pulled directly outside the three-point line and called out the Suns' inside line. The entire inside line was very empty.

And because the Suns currently have five small lineups on the court.

When Brezek called Stoudemire out of the three-point line, the inside became a duel between Okafor and Marion.

Facing this kind of opportunity, it is simply a natural dislocation.

After everyone pulled away, Okafor took the ball from the baseline and turned his back to Marion. He directly hit the inside line with his back, and with the help of confrontation, he followed up with a close-range turnaround jumper.

sigh~
Facing Marion's defense, Okafli used his weight and height to score the goal steadily.

D'Antoni, who was off the court, also swallowed when he saw this scene.

Obviously, the small lineup is the strongest lineup of the Suns, and only when Marion and Stoudemire are paired with the inside, the Suns can truly be called a running and bombing team.

But the Bobcats are on the twin-tower lineup, and the rhythm is bound to drop, so D'Antoni wants to use bombardment tactics to deal with the Bobcats' twin towers.

But on the defensive end, if there is no defense, Okafor playing Marion is a natural misplacement.

The two sides fought back and forth in the fourth quarter. With Liu Rui's zone defense, most of the Suns' offensive rounds had to be terminated at mid-range.

This also greatly reduced the offensive firepower of the Suns, with two minutes and 20 seconds left in the game.

Bobcats with:

103:100
Temporarily leading the Suns by three points.

Facing the team's several offensive misses, D'Antoni also took the lead in calling a timeout.

At this stage of the game, not only the home fans, but even the commentators were amazed and felt incredible.

Okafor and Brezek consumed a lot of physical strength in the retreat because they had to face the counterattack in the fast break of the Suns.

So after returning from the timeout, Liu Ruibing took a risky move and directly sent out the final ultimate move of the game.

Nia the commentator: "Oh my God, did I read it right?! After a timeout, the Bobcats actually changed their lineup. Liu Rui actually took down all the two insiders on the field. What is he going to do at this decisive moment?"

Myris: "Who is the center in this lineup of the Bobcats? Is Wallace going to play the [-]th position?! My God, this is the decisive moment, and the Bobcats are currently leading the Suns, this is crazy!!"

As the timeout came back, both commentators were surprised to see the lineup on the Bobcats field.

Even D'Antoni's eyelids seemed to jump when he saw this lineup, but he just didn't know what the problem was.

Ignoring the noise of the home fans, Liu Rui sat on the sidelines and frowned slightly, carefully observing the situation on the field.

Because in the fourth quarter, the two sides switched back to the main force relatively early, and the two towers consumed a lot of physical strength on both offensive and defensive ends.

Whether it is Okafor or Brezek, the shooting percentages of the two have begun to plummet.

Especially for Okafor, in the second half, as long as Okafor gets the ball, the Suns will directly choose to double-team him, because Kapono is not present.

In addition, the physical strength of the Suns' main players has also plummeted.

So Liu Rui directly sent a small lineup, using the method of unlimited defense changes and unlimited defense assistance.

The Suns are forced to try their best to fall into individual singles at the last moment, and in the case of physical exhaustion, if the Suns' tactics are disassembled into singles, the success rate is bound to be greatly reduced.

After playing the whole game, Liu Rui finally got the right opportunity.

After all, although a small lineup can dismantle the opposing pick-and-roll through non-stop switching and assisting defense, it is impossible for anyone to run the entire game without being affected.

The exhaustion of physical strength on the defensive end will inevitably affect the shooting on the offensive end...
