Chapter 111: Targeted
Paul and Chen Mo did not continue to go heads-up, and the game returned to its normal route and began to implement the tactics arranged before the game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as Chen Mo dribbled the ball past half court, Paul posted it. When Chen Mo dribbled to the top of the arc, Belinelli came up to wrap it.
Monty Williams made it clear before the game, that he would strangle Chen Mo from the beginning of the game and not give him a chance to organize with the ball.
"New Orleans started to wrap Jack, and they took the wrap-and-wrap approach from the beginning. Kenny Smith said: "Starting from the top of the arc should be the more common way to deal with Jack right now, but I didn't expect New Orleans to come up with such defensive intensity from the beginning. ā
"It's the treatment of a superstar from the beginning!" Barkley smashed his mouth and said, "But if you can't break the bag, you'll never be a superstar." ā
Chen Mo's style of play needs space, which has been studied by everyone. Interrupting his offensive rhythm and compressing his offensive space must be the first thing that comes to everyone's mind.
After Belinelli came up, he deliberately increased the physical confrontation, and Paul mainly blocked Chen Mo's passing route.
Chen Mo retreated a little after dribbling, he didn't rush to pass the ball out and then go to run without the ball by himself. He's playing off the ball, of course, but he doesn't want to play without the ball as soon as he's caught. He feels that playing off the ball can be a supplement, but he can't use it as a primary offensive tool
Chen Mo also communicated with Sloane, and Sloan also considered the idea of silence, and he also designed a three-block strategy for Chen Mo.
In fact, this blocking and dismantling tactic is not as extreme as infinite blocking and dismantling, and the purpose is not to open up space for Chen Mo. It's to give Chen Mo a chance to pass the ball to his teammates and create killing opportunities for his teammates. This requires Chen Mo's passing ability to be extremely high.
Chen Mo dribbled back and made a gesture, and his teammates on the court said they understood. Then Chen Mo suddenly accelerated the frequency of dribbling, and his pace also sped up a lot.
Gerald Wallace came up first to block and then he went low. Then there was Jackson, who pulled and ran to the running position after blocking Chen Mo.
Paul always followed Chen Mo, and the person in the bag changed guards.
After Chen Mo moved horizontally, he continued to break through. Paul always followed Chen Mo, but immediately followed Dior's blocking. Paul had no choice but to switch defenses.
Now the alignment on the field is very chaotic, and after the Bobcat continuously blocks and dismantles Chen Mo, he pulls away and runs, messing up the position on the field.
Chen Mo quickly pulled to the right waist, and in the process of moving, he threw the ball out with one hand with his right hand.
Neither David West nor Ariza expected Chen Mo to pass the ball so suddenly, and Dior received Chen Mo's pass in the right corner area.
Dio beats Paul, he has enough height advantage. Paul wanted to break the ball, but Chen Mo's passing point was high, almost above Dior's head, and Paul, who was 1.83 meters, could only look at the ball and sigh.
Dio took the ball and threw it directly, he didn't jump at all, and Paul couldn't help it.
"The best player in the league is Jerry, a veteran who has studied pick-and-roll tactics for 22 years. Kenny Smith said: "Charlotte's three-block playup is fresh, but it also suits Jack well. I've always wondered if Jack has four eyes, he is too wide to see a lot of things that other players can't. That's why he was able to find his teammates in this chaotic situation and pick the best passing route. ā
Barkley didn't want to express his opinion on Chen Mo at this time, and Chen Mo had been slapping him in the face since he first commented on Chen Mo's game.
Chen Mo went from a water cooler caretaker to the offensive core of the team, Sir Charles has personally witnessed it. Every time Chen Mo is on the court, he shows something amazing. Perhaps the closest thing to seeing Chen Mo make a fool of himself was in Miami, but unfortunately in the end, Chen Mo slapped the fat man in the face with a pass and a three-point shot.
This time he wanted to watch Paul educate Chen Mo, but from the beginning of the game to the present, it was Chen Mo who has been controlling the rhythm of the game.
Monty Williams paced back and forth on the sidelines, waving his players to give Chen Mo more physical confrontation.
The Hornets players began to consciously increase their physical confrontation, and Chen Mo was uncomfortable on the court, this was the first time he encountered an opponent who was brainlessly emphasizing physical confrontation while being in the bag. The Hornets' meaning couldn't be more obvious, even if they sent him to the free throw line, it couldn't make him comfortable.
The Bobcats' defense naturally took aim at Paul, and they switched to a hybrid defense, with Chen Mo marking Paul, and then Jackson or Gerard Wallace coming up to assist in the pack.
Chen Mo's defense is to put Paul's outside and guard Paul's inside. The routine is very clear, forcing Paul to go to the low post and then play alone, not allowing him to pass the ball in the high post easily.
Except for the wonderful two-ball play of Chen Mo and Paul at the beginning, there were many fewer highlights in the game after that. After all, both teams' defenses are extremely targeted, and single-core teams have this kind of problem that is easy to target.
When the opponent was brainless and engaged in physical confrontation, Chen Mo's physical energy was consumed too quickly. He basically switches between having and not having the ball, always keeping a single style of play that is easier to target.
Paul also switched back and forth between blocking passes and his own personal offense.
The two teams were almost rigidly wrenched, the score alternately rising, and neither of them could pull the score away.
This game was very difficult, Chen Mo thought that his pressure in this game would come from Paul, but he didn't expect the opponent to use such a physical collision to limit him.
No matter how the Bobcats block and dismantle, the Hornets will resolutely pinch Chen Mo, and their defense is completely challenging the referee's whistle bottom line.
In the first quarter of the game, Chen Mo played the whole quarter of the game, scoring 8 points and 3 assists. He only took two shots, and his remaining four points came from scoring at the free-throw line.
The Hornets would rather send him to the free-throw line than let him score with an easy shot.
Sitting on the sidelines, Chen Mo was draped with a towel on his shoulder, panting heavily.
Other teams have targeted Chen Mo before, all of which are aimed at his technical characteristics. And Monty Williams grasped the weakness of Chen Mo's body and physical fitness and hit him hard.
"I don't think that kid can do it, look at the way he gasps, how much strength can he have in the second half?" Barkley seemed to be alive again, sitting in the commentary seat with a big thorn, and said with a smile on his face.
"This should be the first time Jack Chan has encountered such a defense on the court, with no physical rush for no reason, and he needs to get a little stronger. Or maybe he needs to use some other way to deal with such a defense. Kenny Smith said.
