NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 354
As for the Bobcats not using Christie in the starting list of this game, it is also because the Eagles do not have a particularly strong scoring player.

If Christie is sent to start, then whether it is Christie or Joe Johnson, whoever faces Josh Smith will have some physical disadvantages.

So Liu Rui simply gave the veteran a vacation and had a good rest off the court.

The main purpose of playing against weak teams is to hone the players, but Christie no longer needs to do any hone.

After the opening, the two sides made a jump ball, and the ball was naturally taken by Okafor.

After all, with Dior's jumping ability, it is even more difficult to win the jump ball.

Although the overall strength of this Eagles team is very weak, the two players on the front line, whether it is Josh Smith or Al Harrington, have relatively strong personal strengths.

The real weakness of the entire team is on the back line. Due to Tyronn Lue's increasing age, the speed of his feet is getting slower and slower.

Although he still undertakes the task of the first step of perimeter defense, he is no longer the peak courage of the year.

As for Childress, although he is a swingman with good offensive ability, but when it comes to defensive ability, he has nothing to do with him at all.

Therefore, after the Bobcats come up again, the offensive strategy of the whole team is very obvious, which is to mainly focus on the two points of Joe Johnson and Mo Williams.

With the tempering in the game, the running-in between Joe Johnson and his teammates is becoming more and more tacit now. Compared with the beginning of the season, it is simply too flexible.

Being able to switch freely between off-ball and ball-holding ends, the rhythm of the entire field is becoming more and more smooth.

Okafor is still standing in a high position, holding the ball in his hand and acting as an offensive axis.

The difference from before is that Joe Johnson has played individual singles after asking for the ball, and now he can use his teammates' off-ball pick-and-rolls to create opportunities for open shots.

Not only greatly increased the efficiency of Joe Johnson's offensive end, but also more effectively preserved physical strength.

The reasonable distribution of physical strength can also allow Joe Johnson on the field to get a good balance on both offense and defense.

So after the first quarter, the Bobcats made a fuss about Childress on the court.

Because Liu Rui off the court knows very well that the tactics for the players should not be too complicated.

The simpler the tactics on the field, the better the effect will often be.

This is why after the playoffs, the two teams will always pinch a player on the opponent's field when they are fighting, and fight endlessly through pick-and-rolls.

Because in the face of defensive loopholes, this method is simply tried and tested.

Even Hawks head coach Mike Woodson has made some defensive deployments against the Bobcats' perimeter offense.

However, the personal abilities of the players on the field are very limited. This situation is definitely a nightmare for all coaches.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats played on the road with:
31:22
Leading the Eagles by nine points ended the first quarter.

Throughout the first quarter, the Bobcats would try their best to avoid Josh Smith on the offensive end, pulling him to the left corner as much as possible by pulling him.

Mainly aimed at the Eagles' perimeter defense, the starting Bobcats have a backcourt combination of Mo Williams and Joe Johnson, and they still have a backcourt combination of Fan Maniac, Lu Wei and Kevin Martin on the bench.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Eagles had no power to resist.

After returning from the second quarter, both sides replaced the substitute lineup at the same time.

The previous starting lineup is already the strongest lineup the Eagles can come up with, so the level of the bench can be imagined.

But the interesting scene is that in the fourth position off the bench, the Eagles have this year's No. [-] pick Marvin Williams.

The Bobcats are also a rookie this year at the fourth position. David Lee was selected by the Bobcats at No. 29 in the first round.

Under Liu Rui's special arrangement, David Lee in the second quarter also took on more responsibilities on the offensive end.

Liu Rui's purpose is very obvious, that is to create momentum for David Lee, which has always been Liu Rui's preferred method.

Because any rookie who can be selected by himself shows that he has a lot of room to explore in terms of personal strength.

So from entering the league to playing under his own hands, if he can get a better reputation and more honors, then all of this is also due to his own credit behind him.

This is also one of the main shortcuts for Liu Rui to slowly accumulate popularity and honor in the league.

在刘瑞的一手安排下，大卫李在第二节出场了8分46秒，4投3中，得到了6分2篮板3助攻的数据。

On the other hand, Marvin Williams of the Hawks made 5 of 1 shots in the second quarter and only scored 2 points and 2 rebounds.

Because in order to make the comparison of this effect more obvious, Liu Rui specially asked Ariza to defend Marvin Williams in the second quarter, which made this year's No. [-] pick want to cry without tears.

Because Liu Rui simply arranged for Ariza to defend Marvin Williams.

But Ariza thought it was the same as teaching Bogut the last game, so he worked very hard. Even Liu Rui never saw him work so hard when he played against the Pistons in the playoffs last year.

As a result, Marvin Williams's whole heart would go straight as soon as he received the ball. This guy is simply a lunatic! !
This surprised Liu Rui off the field. Why is Ariza's defensive enthusiasm so high today? Could it be that he won the first prize in the lottery? !
If Liu Rui knew what Ariza was thinking, he might feel like crying.

I did target Bogut, but I didn't target all rookies, as if I had a lot of resentment against this rookie...

At the end of halftime, the Bobcats had no suspense in the away game with:

60:42
Already leading the Eagles by as much as 18 points.

In this era, it is very difficult to come back after falling behind by [-] points.

Because there are currently only a handful of teams averaging hundreds of points per game in the entire league.

At halftime:
"It is difficult for the Eagles to pose a threat to us in this game, so in the third quarter I will directly send a lineup of rookies to play, so you should cherish this opportunity."

"In the fourth quarter, I will give David Lee more playing time. He is facing Marvin Williams in this game. You should cooperate with him on the court and help him get a better stat."

"And don't be greedy for the rest of the people. This kind of data scraping is everyone's turn, and sooner or later it will be your turn."
