Chapter 489: Weakness
Three minutes before the start of the game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The players started playing.
The Rockets, who were playing away, were the first to play.
When they played, fans were very concerned about the Rockets' appearance.
When they saw the Rockets send James Harden, Brown, Isaiah Taylor, Patrick Beverley and center**, the Rockets fans in the stadium immediately cheered.
In the last game, although the Rockets lost, the "AASAA" tactic made them see the pressure of this tactic on the Nets, so they were especially looking forward to this game.
As the Rockets played, the Nets players also ran out of the hallway of the breakout area.
First up was playmaker Spencer Dinwiddie, then center Brook López, followed by small forward Caris Left and power forward Luis Scola.
In the last game, Scola won the first game of the Nets and also got a triple-double, so when he played, the cheers from the audience were particularly enthusiastic.
But with the appearance of the finale player Xiao Ran, the enthusiasm of the scene was ignited again.
The game caught a lot of attention at the beginning.
This instant Rockets revenge game is another game in which the Nets proved that they had no problem swapping Scola.
After the whistle sounds, the game officially begins.
In the jump ball stage, Lopez obviously had a certain advantage in height and jumping height, and took the lead in giving the racket to Xiao Ran and launched the first attack.
Xiao Ran held the ball and dribbled to the halfcourt, and the Rockets' "AASAA" tactics were immediately activated, and Xiao Ran's defense was extremely tight!
This time, it's Beverley who defends Xiao Ran!
Although his height is only 1.85 meters, he is extremely flexible, and in the face of Xiao Ran, he immediately adopted close defensive tactics, which did not give him more opportunities to break through to the inside, and also limited Xiao Ran's ability to throw off the defense and shoot directly.
Although Xiao Ran's breakthrough is strong, the pressure is not small when facing close defense, and if you want to break through, you have to be careful that the ball is directly taken away by Beverley the moment you turn around.
And even if Xiao Ran turns around and breaks through successfully, he still has to be careful of Harden on the side.
Most of the defensive focus of the Rockets' four perimeter players is on Xiao Ran, which also makes them stand very forward, and Scola stands in front of the restricted area, which looks very abrupt.
Not only was there no one to defend him, but the ** behind him was also entangled by López, and there was no more energy to defend him.
Seeing this opportunity, Xiao Ran didn't even think about it, and directly passed the ball to the ground, passing the basketball directly from Beverly's crotch to Scola's hands!
The ball was passed very delicately, and Scola took the ball very comfortably, turned around, and made a jump shot.
The Rockets' outside players obviously didn't have time to defend, and the ** doppelganger on the inside was weak and could only watch Scola shoot.
With no one to defend and a short shooting record, this goal is a must-score!
Basketball came in and the Nets scored first!
After the score, the Barclays Center Arena suddenly resounded with shouts, screams and all kinds of props used to cheer.
From the current point of view, the Rockets' "AASAA" tactics are not as good as imagined, at least Scola has no one to defend, and the Rockets' players on the court are obviously not tall enough, and defending Scola will not have too good an effect.
The Nets, who took the lead in the first game, quickly organized defense to prevent the Rockets from organizing a fast break.
After all, in terms of the configuration of the Rockets, the fast and efficient movement of the whole court is the most powerful weapon, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will make the Rockets attack quickly, so the quick return defense will be the maximum physical consumption of the Nets!
Xiao Ran, who got an assist, saw the haste of the players when they returned to defense, and suddenly felt that in fact, the Rockets' tactics were not without effect!
Not to mention their own defense, in terms of offensive speed, they can make the Nets tired of running.
One or two quarters, it may not be much, but over time, it will be a huge physical drain for tall players!
During Xiao Ran's defense, he glanced at D'Antoni, the head coach of the Rockets, and found that he looked as usual, and did not have any unusual emotions because of Scola's easy scoring!
In this way, D'Antoni also has a very deep understanding of this!
Perhaps his original intention was to rely on the fast break to drain the fitness of the Nets' tall players.
Xiao Ran's distraction didn't matter, Harden quickly found an opportunity, suddenly started, ran directly to Xiao Ran's side, jumped quickly, and shot directly.
By the time Xiao Ran came back to his senses, he was already a step slower, the so-called slow step, slow step, it had become impossible to defend Harden again, so he could only stretch out his hand and block his vision as much as possible.
It's a pity that before Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to block his sight, Harden had already aimed at the basket, and the basketball also took advantage of the trend and flew straight to the basket.
With a whistle, the Rockets successfully counterattacked and won the first three points of the game!
After winning the ball, Harden yelled and vented his frustration accumulated from the previous game failure.
This is the first time that the Rockets have taken a lead since Xiao Ran came to the Nets!
And Harden is not worried at all that the Nets will organize a fast break that they can't defend, unless the shot misses and the basketball is acquired by the Nets, it is not so easy for the Nets to organize a fast break.
The score is 3:2.
The Nets are on offense again.
This time, Xiao Ran took the initiative to slow down the pace, walked forward without hurry before halftime, and beckoned to his players, signaling that the speed did not need to be fast.
Seeing this, D'Antoni's brow suddenly furrowed.
This Xiao Ran is terrible!
The advantage of the "AASAA" tactic is that it is fast, and the defensive pressure on the opponent's outside players is extremely high, and the fight is to score.
Especially in the face of the former Nets, a team with weak interior players and no effective threat at all, it has an unexpected effect.
And the smaller players are more flexible, and the running time is definitely higher than that of the tall interior players.
As long as the pace of the game is fast enough, even if you run, you can run to the death of the opponent.
But I didn't expect that it was only one round, Xiao Ran took the initiative to slow down the pace, and also beckoned his teammates to run slower, definitely aware of this situation!
This is only the first round, and it was discovered by Xiao Ran, how sensitive is this intuition in the arena?
Is he still a player?
Why does it feel more like a coach who organizes the whole team?
This is thanks to Xiao Ran's basketball skills and spirit.
The skill and spirit of 10 points, for the tactical possibility of everything that happens, will be discerned in a very short time.
Although the "AASAA" tactic has not been used many times since it appeared, this does not affect Xiao Ran's discovery of the essence of this tactic!
Slowing down the pace of the attack is the best response to this set of tactics!
