Chapter 253: The lesser of two harms
This time, after Li Du took the basketball from Curry, he waved everyone away, not even Yao Ming's blocking. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info face Ginobili with the ball in both hands, and then suddenly take a step.
The distance of this step was far beyond everyone's imagination, directly past Ginobili and rushed into the Spurs inside. When Li Du shook off Ginobili, he didn't react at all, and the speed of Li Du's explosion in this instant had exceeded the time for human reactions!
By the time Ginobili reacted, Li Du had already rushed to Duncan, who was sitting on the inside of the Spurs. Ginobili took three steps and made two steps, and made up for Li Du.
Facing Duncan, Li Du didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and jumped up directly towards Duncan, looking like he was about to block Duncan!
Duncan is known as the Stone Buddha, and he is definitely a person with the bearing of a grandmaster on the field, and he is not something anyone can provoke. He had just been detained by Yao Ming once, and seeing that Li Du wanted to do it again, it was really a Buddha's fire, he stretched out his arms straight, and jumped up without giving an inch to block Li Du's body.
Li Du raised his right hand high, saw Duncan jump up with him, showed a smile that had succeeded in his plan, the posture of grabbing the ball with his right hand remained unchanged, his wrist was gently flicked to the left, and the basketball grazed Duncan's fingertips and passed to Yao Ming's hand.
Yao Ming received a pass under the basket, did not put his hands down, and with a slight touch of his toes, he dunked the ball into the basket.
The advantage of the center is that he is tall and strong, and small players can't reach the basketball in their hands, so the center with solid basic skills will not easily put down the ball in basketball, and has been holding it high, Duncan is an expert in this regard, and Yao Ming's basic skills are not bad. Ginobili wanted to cut the ball off when Yao Ming bent over and jumped, but Yao Ming's basic skills were solid, and he didn't have any chance to cut the ball.
With Li Du also starting to attack, the Warriors' style of play finally returned to normal. But what seems to them to be a normal tactic, to others it is a crazy tactic! The Warriors have all but given up on mid-range shots, with only two shooting options, either a basket or a three-point shot.
In fact, on the basketball court, the mid-range shot is the way to shoot with the least impact on the offense, and many NBA superstars have a beautiful mid-range shooting ability. There used to be an unwritten rule in the world of professional basketball: mid-range shooting is the safest way to score!
Indeed, compared to the fact that there are many people under the basket, the defense is tight, the three-point shot is far away from the basket, and the shot will be deflected if it has a slight impact, and the mid-range shot is indeed a more stable shooting choice. But this law has now been broken by the Warriors, Yao Ming, who has become stronger after a major injury under the basket, and Li Du, Curry, and Crawford three three-point shooters on the outside, they directly gave up the mid-range shot, but opened up the offensive space wider!
"That's the essence of the Warriors' tactics!" ** Vicky stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, and he understood what the Warriors' tactics were all about, he was a master tactician, and he was a famous coach who could train every player to have his own tactical system, and the old Nelson's tactical system naturally couldn't hide from him.
Old Nelson's tactics, to put it bluntly, are actually to take advantage of the fact that Li Du, Curry and others have super shooting ability, to maximize the offensive space and shooting opportunities, the main focus is on the outside, the reason why a strong center is needed, in addition to sitting on the inside in defense, in the offense is to ensure rebounds and pass the ball for other small players.
This tactic belongs to a more extreme type, and it is not difficult to crack, as long as someone can contain Li Du on the outside and Yao Ming on the inside, when the Warriors block and dismantle, except for the center, everyone else changes their defenses and does not give them a chance to shoot on the outside.
It's not hard to switch defenses when blocking and pick-and-roll, and these are the most basic defensive skills for every professional player. To contain Yao Ming, you can also consider letting Duncan and Mike Days cover in front of and back, even if Yao Ming can't shoot, it can still be done to seriously affect his shots. The question now is how to contain Li Du?
Li Du is a near-perfect player in the eyes of ** Vicky, needless to say about his physical talent, Kobe Bryant said that he envied Li Du's talent, and what was even more difficult was that
This kid is improving very quickly, he was just a defensive player when he first entered the league, and after half a season, he can share the worries of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers with his excellent shooting ability. By the second season, Li Du was already an important part of the Lakers' championship.
If it weren't for Li Du's injury in the third season, Vicky estimated that he would probably be able to get the regular season MVP in that season, and even in the consideration of the Lakers management, he would be compared with Kobe, maybe he will be the future leader of the Lakers!
Now Li Du has come to the Warriors, half a season ago he can only be regarded as a strong player, with his own strength to lead the Warriors forward, since Yao Ming's comeback, the Warriors have a complete lineup, Li Du has grown into a mature and powerful team leader. Vicky even feels that the future NBA will be the world of the Warriors and Li Du.
To contain Li Du, the two-man wrap may be able to prevent him from shooting, uukashu but in this way, Li Du's pass will be accurate and timely to other open players. You know, in addition to Li Du in the Warriors, Curry and Crawford's three-point shots are also very powerful!
After thinking about it for a long time, in the second half of the second quarter, when the Warriors and Spurs were ready to send their main lineups again, Vicky secretly gritted his teeth, gathered everyone to his side, and began to lay out tactics against the Warriors.
As soon as Li Du and other Warriors main players came on the court, they found that the Spurs' defensive strategy had made significant changes. First of all, on the inside, while Duncan and Yao Ming were entangled, McDies was on the sidelines, ready to wrap Yao Ming at any time; Another point is that as soon as Li Du gets the ball, Ginobili and Jefferson will come forward to wrap him, trying to make him not even have space to dribble!
As soon as the Warriors came up, they were caught off guard by the Spurs' defense of the inside and outside double, and they missed three goals in a row, and the Spurs took the opportunity to catch up with the score and overtake it!
At such a critical time, the old Nelson did not call a timeout, but gestured to Li Du, and returned to his seat and sat down peacefully.
After initially not understanding the Spurs' defensive intentions and causing two consecutive almost pass errors, in the gesture of the old Nelson, Li Du understood the Spurs' intentions. In fact, the Spurs are not so unfathomable, and the Vicky is not really Zhuge Kongming alive, and his strategy of wrapping up inside and outside the line is just a two-way harm, choose the lighter.
Man-to-man defense, Spurs can't find anyone who can contain Li Du, and the Warriors have outstanding three-point ability, and center Yao Ming also has a beautiful and stable mid-range shot, and it is impossible to play joint defense, so Vicky can only defend like this, and let the rest of the Warriors attack, at least much better than Li Du and Yao Ming's double offense.
