Chapter Twenty-Five: Single-handedly Carter
Larry Brown clasped his hands on the sidelines, looking a little unhappy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Chen Mo went over to break Howard's ball, actually let Nelson empty, if Howard found the gap in advance, or Chen Mo couldn't break the ball, Howard passed the ball to Nelson, Nelson would have a huge space to shoot. That's the kind of space that can be used by a guard who shoots 45 percent from three-point range.
Larry Brown's basketball philosophy is to be stable, and he doesn't like this kind of gambling steals. If you succeed, you may be able to earn money, but if you fail, you will lose a lot. Chen Mo went to cut Howard's ball, which was obviously not arranged by Larry Brown before the game.
Beaten by the Bobcats into a beautiful aerial relay, Stan Van Gundy roared from the sidelines.
"Dwight, you have to take advantage of one-on-one opportunities, this is your advantage!"
Howard is indeed the league's No. 1 center, and while he doesn't seem to be as hot as he was when he went to the Finals two years ago, he can still destroy the interior of most teams in the league.
However, in Chen Mo's view, Howard can only become the first center in this era of scarcity of centers. Not to mention the era when the four major centers competed for glory, even the wolf, Buddha and shark in the early century were not as good as him. The current Howard is probably a senior blue-collar worker in that era.
Howard's technique is rough, his mid-range shooting has not been developed so far, and his offensive means are pitiful.
Knock away the opposing post defender and dunk. After grabbing the frontcourt rebound, the second offensive dunk and the throw after turning to the baseline. And then there'...... If his extremely unreliable mid-range shot near the free-throw line after covering is also his offensive method, there should be another one.
With such an interior player as the core, a legendary veteran coach like Larry Brown naturally has a way to deal with it.
Kwame Brown's physicality is there, his low post defense is strong, and Howard doesn't necessarily suffer much from single-handedness. The Magic's offensive playmaker, Tekoglu, is slow to move, and his stats as the core of the Magic's playmaking have risen, but in reality he is just a second-rate star.
Lewis' offensive strength has been reduced after a knee injury, and his already weak defense has fallen into a mess. As for the old flyer, Vince Carter, he can't make any big waves.
On the other hand, the Bobcats' forward defense is arguably the best in the league. Gerard Wallace and Stephen Jackson are both extremely defensive players who take turns taking care of Turkoglou's offensive playmaking that can strangle the Magic to the maximum. On the inside, only Kwame Brown defends the Monster alone, which can also limit the play of the Magic team of musketeers to the greatest extent.
On the defensive end, the Bobcats already have a huge upper hand. But whether they can win or not depends on their offensive performance, and to put it bluntly, it depends on Chen Mo's performance.
The Magic couldn't get the ball back in the next few rounds, and their offense struggled under Larry Brown's well-tuned defensive system, coupled with the Bobcats' restraint on them.
Looking at the Bobcats' offense, Chen Mo singled Lewis after blocking and dismantling, or transferred the ball to the weak side after attracting the defense on the strong side, all of which played well.
His individual offense is something that the Magic pay a lot of attention to, but he doesn't play himself, but he can still pass the ball. After Chen Mo sent assists one after another, the Magic players looked a little confused, and while they were confused, Chen Mo hit a three-point shot at a 45-degree angle on the right side, 2-12, Stan Van Gundy could only call a timeout.
For a team that is aiming to win the championship, it is really unbearable to meet a new team in the league like the Bobcats, and a team with only one win in the new season will play like this.
"Vince, you go and keep an eye on him. Also, after they block and dismantle we go up to the bag, this kid's shot is terrible, we must not give him a chance to shoot, and now be careful, don't let him pass the ball, we try to grab his ball directly in our hands, or force him to make a mistake. ”
"On the inside, Dwight has to take advantage of one-on-one opportunities. Vince, you're going to have to go to the basket a lot, be mindful of making Kwame's fouls, and if we can take him down, no one on their interior will be able to stop Dwight, understand?"
After laying out the tactics, Stan Van Gundy gave Lewis a hateful look. Now he doesn't want a big shooter who can shoot at all, he wants a big forward with strong offensive ability in the low post. If we can establish an advantage on the inside, it will not only unleash Howard's power, but also ease the team's offensive pressure on the outside. You don't have a Howard, and if I have a strong interior player in the low post, can you still do without it?
On the other side of the Bobcats, the coach is very satisfied with the team's current state, but he still remembers the gambling steal at the beginning of Chen Mo's heart.
"Jack, guard against your own people, don't think about stealing. It's very stupid, this kind of gambling defense, it's not worth it, you know?"
Chen Mo pursed his lips, didn't ramble with Larry Brown, and nodded lightly.
Larry Brown was dissatisfied with Chen Mo's attitude, he was a little angry, but thinking of Chen Mo's amazing performance on the offensive end, he couldn't say anything more.
This is also the reason why Larry Brown has not let Chen Mo play before, he saw Chen Mo's level, so he had to make Chen Mo soft and obey his arrangement before others saw Chen Mo's strength. But after the last game, he had already lost that opportunity.
Chen Mo's performance is enough to prove his strength, and he is indeed the best choice for the team's outside core. Looking at the cheers of the fans at Time Warner Center now, Chen Mo conquered the city in just a few minutes. If Larry Brown suppresses Chen Mo like he did before, I'm afraid he will be torn to shreds by the fans here today.
Coming back from the timeout, the defender of Chen Mo became Vince Carter. The era of the Canadian Flyers has indeed passed, and the era of East Aceco, North Carolina and South Mai, when the four quarterbacks competed for glory, are over.
Iverson has disappeared in the NBA, Maddie is leading the veteran's base salary in Detroit, Carter has also lost the position of a core player, and can only continue to exert his energy as a championship puzzle, only Los Angeles' Kobe Bryant is still glamorous, but now watching the Los Angeles Lakers' game can also see the old state of Peter Pan.
Looking at Carter, who opened the defensive posture in front of him, Chen Mo sighed in his heart. No matter how strong you once were, you can't escape the roulette wheel of time.
Carter clinged to Chen Mo tightly, and Chen Mo could only protect the ball with his back. His pace was not much faster than that of the aging Carter, and Carter was much more experienced than he was. Carter came to defend against Chen Mo, and his advantage was still obvious.
originally wanted to continue to call his teammates to block the demolition, but after thinking about it, Chen Mo wanted to try it with Carter again, after all, the person in front of him was one of the four quarterbacks in the league, even if he is old now......
