Chapter 7: I Can Pass
Larry Brown's face has not been very good today, his team was torn apart by the Dallas Mavericks at home yesterday, and his defensive performance can barely pass, but the offensive performance, the 100-point score, Coach Brown feels that 10 points is too much. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in today's intra-team matchup, Larry Brown's face was even more ugly. The field was a mess, and the players were almost all fighting on their own.
Larry Brown felt a headache, and with Raymond Felton gone this summer, the team's offense turned out to be like this, completely unorganized. The actual playmaker of the team is Stephen Jackson now, but his form this season has slipped from last season, and with the Bobcats now very weak in the No. 2 position, it is very difficult for Stephen Jackson to do both his offense and defense, as well as the organization.
"It would be nice to find a playmaker who can pass the ball." Larry Brown thought of one person, "If only Chauncey were here." ”
When his Pistons overturned the Lakers' "F4" to win the championship, Chauncey Billups turned into a phoenix has been told all over the world, he is the kind of point guard who can make a team maximize their combat effectiveness, but now such point guards are becoming more and more difficult to find.
Larry Brown isn't demanding right now, as long as he can find a defender who can pass the ball.
Stephen Jackson could, but he had more focus on the defensive end. After all, the Bobcats' defense now relies mainly on the double ghost shots of Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace, and their ferocious defense at the front can strangle all the opponent's attacks from the high position.
"Coach ......"
Larry Brown is getting irritable! He suddenly heard someone calling him. The person who called him was Chen Mo, who had been watching off the court for so long, and the offense on the court was a mess, and he felt it was time to apply to Larry Brown for a chance to play.
Larry Brown glanced at Chen Mo and turned his head away, not even saying a word. Chen Mo ran to Larry Brown and continued: "Coach, their offense is very chaotic now, why don't you replace me and try it!" ”
"You?" Larry Brown glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Right now, our offense is a mess, no one passes the ball to you, you can't fit into the team, you won't do anything." ”
Now that Larry Brown is discussing the team's offense with his assistant coach, he doesn't have time to talk to Chen. And Chen Mo seemed to be a little confused at this time and continued to speak: "Coach, I can pass the ball, you let me try!" ”
The best way to solve the Bobcats' offensive problems now is to find a defender who can pass the ball, and the only defender on the team who can organize is Livingston.
But Livingston was a little scared to fight after suffering what could be the most brutal injury in NBA history, even though he didn't have a violent fight when he was injured.
In '07, while still on the Clippers, Livings fell like a bird shot by a buckshot during a fast-break layup in a game against the Bobcats, his left foot slid outside, and his whole body weight smashed into his left knee perpendicular to the floor with the kinetic energy of the fall. Livingston immediately fell to the ground and was carried off the field on a stretcher.
The video of his injuries was widely circulated on YouTube, and the NBA later forced YouTube to delete the video on the grounds that the scene was too brutal.
It's a miracle to be back on the pitch after suffering such a major injury, but it's hard for him to hold on for 30 minutes in a high-intensity game. He can only play as a substitute for the odd man, and is not qualified for a starting position.
Larry Brown glanced at Chen Mo and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Coach you put me on the pitch, give me the ball, and you'll see what you want." Chen Mo said. He knew he couldn't explain that much to Larry Brown now, and it would be more direct and effective to be on the court and talk about it with performance.
Larry Brown hesitated, but nodded his head and let Chen Mo go up and replace Augustin. Augustin is an attacking defender who has almost never played with the team on the field, and his shooting percentage is not high, and he has almost become a cancer for the team. If it weren't for the fact that the Bobcats had no point guard, and his defense was pretty good, Larry Brown wouldn't have been able to start him.
Chen Mo waved his fist excitedly, and immediately shouted after he got on the court, "Brothers, run, I'll pass the ball to you." ”
Seeing that his teammates basically didn't respond, Chen Mo was not embarrassed, Dio drove the ball out, and Chen Mo held the ball through the half.
Chen Mo's starting team is much stronger than the substitute team, but because the team lacks a playmaker, the offense is messy.
Larry Brown has already started thinking about having Jackson play the team's offense, but then Jackson will be unable to do so on the defensive end. There is no guarantee of defensive intensity on the team, which is something that Larry Brown absolutely cannot bear.
For this stubborn old man, Chen Mo has long wanted to complain. It's not a day or two that the starting lineup doesn't have a playmaker, and the old guy hasn't let Jackson organize in order to ensure the team's defensive intensity, but hopes for Augustin's sudden opening.
But if it weren't for Larry Brown being too stubborn, Chen Mo might not have gotten such a good opportunity today. After all, the Bobcats' offense is rotten now, and it would be very obvious if he could bring a little change to the team.
Chen Mo dribbled to the top of the arc, and Livingston opened up the defensive position in front of him. For Chen Mo, Livingston does not dare to underestimate him, his amazing shooting is something that no one dares to underestimate.
Livingston guarded Chen Mo's shooter tightly and didn't let him have a chance to shoot.
Dior blocked Chen Mo on the left side of the arc, this is just a routine tactic, and no one has thought about using this block to do anything. So Dior stopped after the pick-and-roll. And Chen Mo ran towards the bottom line with the ball, and the person who defended him became Thomas. He still stuck to Chen Mo and didn't give him a chance to shoot.
"You're not going to get the space to shoot." Thomas is very confident.
Chen Mo has no advantage in singles after blocking and dislocation, he has no speed, and his height and arm span are very disadvantaged. But in the face of Thomas's body, Chen Mo played very smartly. He ran to the weak side and passed the ball to Dio, then ran off the ball to the other side while reaching for the ball. Dior singled Livingston and didn't have an immediate chance, he passed the ball to Chen Mo again.
As soon as Chen Mo ran, he completely messed up the lineup of the substitute team. And Jackson subconsciously helped him make a no-ball cover after Chen Mo's run, and Chen Mo's thin body easily reached the waist position on the other side. He had just turned around and Dior's pass had flown in.
Chen Mo catches the ball and throws, which is his favorite rhythm. He found the space to shoot and let him shoot, he is invincible!
Not just Larry Brown, but everybody's eyes lit up......
