Chapter 333: Tasting the Wind
Carlisle didn't expect the Bobcats to start so fiercely, in fact, he didn't expect Chen Mo to start so ferociously, and it didn't look like his style at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Today's Jack Chan opening game is really fierce, to be honest, I've never seen a jack like this. Reggie Miller sighed: "Tonight, he still played beautifully and gorgeously, but it gave me a strong sense of oppression. ”
Yu Jia made a very good analogy in the studio of the CCAV, "The white-clothed knight who is proud of the rivers and lakes suddenly became serious, and when he is no longer playing the world, he can turn the whole world upside down." ”
Tonight, Chen Mo does look different. Carlisle, however, had a great headache.
Regarding Charlotte's lynx, Chen Mo is the person who Carlisle has studied the most, but he finally came to the conclusion that this person has no solution.
Chen Mo's biggest flaw is his attitude towards the game, he is always a bit playful and game-like. Only when the opponent puts him under enough pressure will he play better and better.
Through the inspiration given by the Miami Heat, Carlisle spotted this and used it. It almost gave them an epic comeback in Game 2 of the Grand Final.
In this match, Carlisle expected Chen Mo to explode, because they could no longer use that method to "steal" the victory.
Therefore, Carlisle is ready to consume Chen Mo through pressing defense and lethal defense. When Chen Mo's condition was at its best, he didn't have much physical strength to explode. However, he sent Stevenson to do lethal defense, but he was teased like a child by Chen Mo.
And what gave Carlisle the most headache was that Chen Mo seemed to be in the fast lane of hurricane at the beginning, and it seemed that he was racing faster and faster.
"He has to be stopped. Carlisle thought with a frown.
As a last resort, Carlisle decided to come up with the method of dealing with Chen Mo in the last game, using half of the team to defend Chen Mo and let others defeat them.
"There's no reason to pinch him, let someone else score, let someone else win us. Carlisle said: "Give him more consumption, you must not make him more comfortable. ”
Zhang Li was also analyzing the situation on the court during the pause, "Chen Mo played very aggressively at the beginning today, and if the Mavericks want to win today, they must strangle Chen Mo." ”
"Chen Mo has one of the biggest weaknesses that everyone knows, his physical fitness is a huge problem, and he knows this, but no one can take advantage of it. ”
"In Game 7 against the Heat, he solved the problem in the third quarter and didn't play at all in the fourth quarter. Therefore, what the calf has to do now is to consume Chen Mo at the same time, and not to be broken when Chen Mo is consumed. ”
In this situation, Carlisle may choose to pinch Chen Mo brainlessly and test the feel of other players other than Chen Mo of the Bobcats. It's a gamble, but it's the most reasonable option for them right now. If they can achieve a stalemate in this way, maybe they will be able to stage the kind of big reversal they had before. ”
Zhang's reasonable analysis is very thorough, and Carlyle did choose it this way.
Sloane could also guess Carlisle's choice, and he once again pulled out a weapon from his arsenal that he had never used, just in case.
The Bobcats asked Chen Mo to play the No. 2 position, and Livingston replaced him, and at the same time made Chen Mo more focused on playing off-ball offense. Compared to Jackson's defensive strength against Nowitzki, Livingston can also play a role.
The small man guards against the big pitcher, mainly to press his center of gravity, stick to him and don't let him jump comfortably, disrupting his shooting rhythm.
So, in fact, Jackson's absence won't have as much impact on the Bobcats as it did when they played the Heat.
The game restarted, Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot, and this year's Noviski was a terrifying touch. In the case of two finger injuries, he was still able to maintain a relatively stable shot.
Carlisle has been on the sidelines, and this time their defense is very important, and if they still can't limit the Bobcats' offense, they will be in trouble.
Livingston held the ball directly through the halfcourt, and then he didn't give the ball to Chen Mo like he used to do with dual point guards. Instead, Chen Mo ran back, and Livingston stopped at the top of the arc.
The Bobcats pressed the tempo, and at the same time, Chen Mo made an off-ball screen for Livingston in the three-second zone.
Chen Mo blocked Nowitzki and Marion, and although he only had one screen, the second cover of the Bobcats followed.
Milicic retracted from the right side of the waist to the basket, and then Chen Mo pulled away, and Milicic followed the screen. Nowitzki thought that Milicic was going to run to the basket, so he took a step back, knowing that Milicic was continuing to cover the screener.
Marion was blocked, Chen Mo quickly retreated to the top of the arc, Gerald Wallace blocked Terry who was chasing for Chen Mo, Chen Mo went around the three-point line, borrowed Livingston's body to cover again, Livingston handed the ball to Chen Mo, at this time Chen Mo had already thrown off all the defenders.
A series of covering tactics made the Maverick a little confused, Chen Mo received the ball and turned around to shoot directly, he pursued faster turns and shots for this ball, and he didn't jump at all. The Mavericks players who came over on both sides to help defend had just arrived in front of him, and Chen Mo's shot was shot.
Seven consecutive playoff battles are about who is more targeted at whom and who responds more targeted.
At the last moment of the last game, Chen Mo was forced to not shoot, even if he played without the ball once, he missed the fleeting opportunity because his teammate's pass could not be given in time.
Soon Sloan came up with this hand-to-hand pass and arranged several screens on a single run.
Sloan's tactic is to keep the ball almost at a standstill, reduce the error rate of passing, let Chen Mo go around a circle to cover to find the ball, and finally the passer will cover Chen Mo again to achieve the purpose of letting Chen Mo shoot.
This tactic is actually a test of Chen Mo's ability, but after all, how much ability comes how much responsibility.
After that, Chen Mo combined with on-ball and off-ball attacks, and the game was always moving forward in the rhythm of the Bobcats, and at the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats had a lead of 15 points.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats were in the rotation, and in fact, Jackson's absence had an impact on the Bobcats' rotation. Because Livingston and Henderson had to come early, it disrupted their rotation rhythm.
Carlisle had no intention of playing the main force at all, except for replacing Kidd Sr. with Barria and Terry replacing Stevenson's place, the other three were still on the field.
"Carlisle is not going to let the starters rest!" Zhang Reasonable said: "But this may also be the best opportunity and way, Chen Mo's physical fitness is definitely not enough to support him to play the whole game, and when he is not on the court, the Bobcats' attack power is sharply reduced, which is a good opportunity for the Mavericks to stalemate the game." ”
When Chen Mo was away, the tenacious Dallas people were indeed chasing back points, even if Chen Mo played a perfect data of 15 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, they were still not shocked by Chen Mo's fierce momentum.
The tenacity of the Dallas people has long been a hot topic, but Chen Mo is not here to make the next Texas cockroach.
After venting in the first quarter of the game, Chen Mo's mood was calmer, and Chen Mo said to Sloan: "Boss, I think we should slow down the pace next." ”
Sloan glanced at Chen Mo, he didn't understand it a little.
"That's how the Dallas guys did with us in the last game, they know how to avoid our edge. We put too much pressure on them before, and now they're in a lot of momentum, and they must think that when I get on the pitch, we're going to play small, and they're definitely ready to defend against our fast breaks. So we just didn't play fast with them, continued to play with the rhythm of the first quarter of the game, and waited until the beginning of the second half to give them a fatal blow. This time I won't give them a chance to turn over, I'm going to keep the rhythm under control, they played like that in the first half, and in the second half there will definitely be fitness problems, and we will run and kill them. Chen Mo said.
Sloan felt that Chen Mo's statement was very reasonable, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Just do as you say! I'll arrange it, and you'll just get ready. Sloan said.
During this time, the calf chased the score very fiercely, and Sloan always remained calm after communicating with Chen Mo.
When the game comes to the finals, it is not only the strength competition of the players on the field, but also the control of all tactics and timing is very important. It is often a small detail that determines the outcome of a game.
In the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Mavericks narrowed the score to nine points, and the gap had gone from double digits to single digits.
In NBA games, teams chasing points often have several nodes.
The first is to chase from two digits to single digits, which is a big psychological hint, and the next node is 7 points, then 5 points, and then tie...... Basically every team has a process like this. At every point, it is an incentive for the mentality of the players on the field.
And the teams that are chasing points will often call a timeout at these nodes.
When the score was chased to 9 points, everyone thought Sloan would call a timeout and replace Chen Mo. However, Sloan did not.
Sloan kept pressing Chen Mo on the bench until the eighth minute, when the difference narrowed to 6 points, and he replaced Chen Mo.
Since Chen Mo wanted to finish the battle in the second half and kill the calf at one time, Sloane simply did something more extreme. Use the temptation to narrow the score difference, so that the main forces of the Mavericks play harder and consume a little more.
"At the end of this timeout, Sloan is probably going to use a small lineup, and after such a long period of attrition, I don't know if the Mavericks can still block a round of onslaught from the Bobcats!" Zhang said.
But then, immediately, immediately, Zhang Reasonable was slapped in the face. Sloan switched to a regular lineup with two point guards, and it looks like Sloan wants to replicate the rhythm of the first half.
Zhang Li coughed a little embarrassed, looking a little speechless. According to the normal rhythm, he was right, but today the Bobcat deliberately did not play according to the normal routine.
Not to mention that Zhang Lili guessed wrong, even Carlisle didn't expect that Sloan still hadn't played a small tactic. But Sloan didn't change people, but he didn't dare to take it lightly.
According to the first quarter of the game, Chen Mo scored another 9 points in six minutes, and also delivered 2 assists, and the Bobcats stabilized the difference at 9 points.
This may be an acceptable gap for both teams, and as long as the gap is maintained, the Mavericks will not be unable to stage another comeback to the end of the game.
After returning to the locker room, Chen Mo replaced Sloan and explained their layout in the second half in detail.
So far, let alone Chen Mo's teammates, the Bobcats stars admire Chen Mo very much. Even those old guys on the coaching staff admire Chen Mo very much.
Some small tactical cooperation during the game, Chen Mo can often have a stroke of genius. Even if it is a macro tactical arrangement and tactical thinking, Chen Mo can have unique insights and ideas.
In the second half of the game, Charlotte Bobcats were small lineups as soon as they came out. Livingston took Jackson's place, a lineup that lacked a good three-point output, but increased speed and passing accuracy. They can fight faster and more lethal.
As soon as they returned to the locker room to catch their breath, the Mavericks found that the Bobcats had turned their motors up to maximum power.
Nowitzki's shot in the second half missed, and his injured finger was faintly painful through the half-court game, and Milicic grabbed the rebound and transferred the ball to Livingston as soon as possible.
Livingston didn't look at the ball either, and transferred the ball to Chen Mo, who had already run to the front.
As for Dio and Gerard Wallace, they are running at full speed.
Chen Mo didn't make any adjustments at all after receiving the ball, and directly dribbled and continued to sprint.
Although Chen Mo was not happy, he went from advancing without the ball to dribbling after receiving the ball, there was almost no difference, and there was no pause when he connected the ball.
This is a very powerful ability, the Mavericks didn't expect the Bobcats to open up the offensive rate so much at the beginning, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Mo had already come to the free throw line, and Gerald Wallace sprinted from the rear at the fastest speed.
Chen Mo faked a shot to attract the defense, his arm was raised, his wrist was buckled, and the ball flew past Kidd's fingers, and the ball bounced high after hitting the ground. Gerard Wallace simply paid attention to Chen Mo's movements, and jumped directly, he believed that Chen Mo would deliver the ball.
Sure enough, just as Gerard Wallace jumped to the top, the ball flew right in front of his eyes.
Gerard Wallace grabbed the ball and dunked it straight away, a perfect air Jerry.
Fans were also shocked by the Bobcats' whirlwind counterattack, and the big screen at the scene showed the time taken by the Bobcats for this attack - 6.2 seconds.
From Milicic grabbing the rebound to Chen Mo assisting Gerard Wallace to put the ball in, they took a total of 6.2 seconds.
"Taste the wind!" Chen Mo said lightly to Kidd in front of him. (To be continued.) )
