Chapter 84: Bench Bandits

As soon as the opening court started, the Nets were suppressed.

The Nets attacked, Yi Jianlian blocked Harris, because it was a compression defense, Zhou Xuan continued to follow Yi Jianlian in the high post after being blocked, and Jackson changed to defend Harris. At this time, Harris only needs to pass the ball to the middle, and Yi Jianlian can get a misplaced shooting opportunity. But Harris chose to take the inside line, and he couldn't pass Jackson before he turned back to find his teammates, at this time Zhou Xuan had already gone around to Yi Jianlian to interfere, and Harris was prone to make mistakes when he wanted to cross the middle.

In the team's defensive system, Zhou Xuan knows very well where he should run, and he learned from Paul to interfere around the front.

Harris defended the basketball, and Jackson retracted a bit backwards, which was a pull-up jumper, but Harris knew that he didn't have much control of his jumper in this position, and passed the ball to Carter.

Carter took the ball on the right and took a step past Margeti before facing Harrington. There was only Simmons on the perimeter who was sure of his pitcher, and Carter gave up the pass and made a pull-up jump shot, but the ball did not go in and formed a misalignment, and Margeti immediately went down. Biedrins lived up to expectations and grabbed another backcourt rebound. Zhou Xuan retreated to take the ball, turned around in the face of Harris and threw it to the front court with one hand.

Harrington and Jackson are also about to go. Yi Jianlian and Simmons returned to defense in time. Jackson received the ball on the left side, Yi Jianlian retreated into the three-point line, retreated a little faster, and the experienced Jackson looked at the distance, and shot it on the periphery.

Jackson felt average today, he didn't hit the empty three-pointer, the ball bounced far away, and the rebound was picked up by Yi Jianlian and held in his arms. This seems to be very stable at first glance, but in Zhou Xuan's eyes, it is a delay in the fighter, the Warriors rely on joint defense to deal with the Nets, Yi Jianlian at this time if a long pass to Carter and Harris can disrupt the Warriors' defensive system and impact the restricted area. But as soon as he slowed down, Harris had to retreat and take the ball to attack.

Many American players who play in the CBA in China are not convinced, believing that they are good enough to play in the NBA, but they are just lucky, they participate in the summer league every year, but they do not get the opportunity. Mike who played for the Rockets? Harris is one of them, playing in the CBA, he averages more than 30 points per game, with a shooting rate of more than 50%, and looks like the Jordan of the CBA, but the NBA team just doesn't need him. In fact, the key to deciding whether you can play basketball well is in the handling of some details, and it is more about the vision and the ball quotient, rather than the physical fitness.

When Zhou Xuan first arrived at the Warriors, he couldn't do CJ Watson single-handedly in training. He can start because he adapts to the rhythm of the NBA game and has an eye on the court. In the team system, his quality will be greatly improved. Watson, on the other hand, is a man of outstanding personal ability who is outside the system. Yi Jianlian is also free from the system in the nets team, except for standing in a high position after blocking and waiting for the return, he doesn't know what he should do at other times.

The Nets fell into a positional battle, and Harris faced Zhou Xuan again. Zhou Xuan kept a certain distance, and there was nothing to be afraid of when he shot three points.

Harris was surprised to see Zhou Xuan's expressionless face. When I saw him chatting with Yi Jianlian before, he seemed to be able to say that he was a completely different person from Yi Jianlian, why did he become so indifferent on the field? Could it be that this is the legendary double character, schizophrenia?

That's the psychology on the court, and in fact, Duncan is also a very boisterous person in the locker room, with a great sense of humor. But for the sake of the game, even if you see funny things on the field, such as Reggie once? Evans tripped himself with the ball, and Duncan could endure it. When he was on the sidelines, Duncan laughed happily, and even a little ****, because he laughed and ate a technical foul.

Zhou Xuan's speed is not slow, and his judgment of feints is accurate, keeping a distance to block Harris's breakthrough route, but he doesn't go up to entangle, Harris's skills are average, just rely on speed, and can't get rid of him.

Harris held the ball for more than 5 seconds and had to play the ball, he chose a stop-and-go jump shot on the right side, Zhou Xuan stepped forward and interfered slightly, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

If you want to play like this, the Nets will have to take a break in the first quarter, but fortunately, Boone grabbed a frontcourt rebound under the basket, and scored the second offensive goal, helping the Nets open up the situation with difficulty. 6 to 2.

The Warriors attacked, and Harris shouted at the top of the arc: "Come and go head-to-head with me once, see how good you are!" ”

Zhou Xuan didn't respond, and continued to keep a cold face. In the first two games, Paul and Calderon did not talk trash talk, and it was the first time he encountered someone who provoked him in the game, and he was quite disdainful of it. I thought: If you want to fight me alone, go to old Nelson and tell him to go, and see if he agrees.

Margeti singled in the low post and turned around for a jumper. Margeti didn't feel very good today, and the rebound was picked up by Boone.

The Nets attacked the position, the ball was passed back and forth, Yi Jianlian and Simmons both got a chance to shoot, but they didn't dare to shoot, they seemed to be lacking in confidence, and Carter solved the problem after the most, and the right side shot was deflected.

Iron striking became the main tone of the first quarter between the two sides, Margeti and Jackson did not feel good, and Zhou Xuan was also infected, and he missed two shots in the middle and three points. The Nets couldn't score the basket, and Yi Jianlian finally shot in the high post and missed the jumper.

The Warriors are still the same problem, the low post offense is not good, and forcing Margeti to take on the heavy responsibility of the low post offense has disrupted his rhythm. He does have a physical advantage, but in the days of the Clippers, there were two big men in the team, Carman and Brand, and the burden of attacking in the low post was placed on them, which made Margety's low post feel seriously degraded.

At the 7-minute mark, the elder Nelson couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Azubuke to enhance the impact, and replaced Margeti, who frequently struggled for muscles on the field and regarded himself as a bodybuilder. This is not a bodybuilding competition, let alone a Superman movie, and the way to decide the winner is not who knocks whom farther, otherwise Margeti would have won by a big margin.

As soon as Azubuk came on, the team's attack immediately changed, and the perimeter breakthrough was dominant. The Nets' 32 joint defense failed. Azubuk broke through and passed out of the outside line if the opportunity was not good, and Zhou Xuan relied on cover to break through again. Yi Jianlian and Boone were severely tested, and the change of defense was a little slower, and the Warriors' opportunity came out. In the second half, Zhou Xuan directly assisted Biedlins to dunk once, and twice distributed the ball to the periphery, and Jackson and Harrington hit jump shots.

At 33-18, the Warriors led by 15 points in the first quarter, and Biedrins scored eight points, becoming the Warriors' most scorer, which is relatively rare. Zhou Xuan got 2 points and 4 assists, and his passing was still sharp.

The Nets played in a mess, Yi Jianlian shot twice, didn't score a point, grabbed two rebounds, and was replaced in 10 minutes.

Zhang Li sighed: "In the first quarter of the competition, Yi Jianlian seemed a little unable to let go, and Zhou Xuan's performance was much better. The Nets' main team is not playing very well, and hopefully their bench can withstand the pressure and not let the score further widen. ”

If the score is stretched to more than 20 points, it will quickly enter garbage time, and it will certainly not be as exciting as the scorching game.

Warriors Margeti came on the court to replace Jackson, and inside Turyaf and Brandon? Wright came on and Azubuke and CJ Watson were in the back.

The Nets also fielded four substitutes, and the inside Brooke ? López, Lane? Anderson, forward Jarvis? Hayes, and veteran Kenyon? Doolin, the starter, only Carter remained on the court.

The Nets quickly took the initiative with the bench, and Anderson hit a three-pointer on the court, and his specialty was shooting, and he didn't hesitate to catch the ball after blocking and dismantling. Carter's ball-handling attack drew Wright into a switch and created chances.

Then López hit Turyaf twice in a row in the low post. One hit a direct turnaround jumper, and the other used a low post foot to get inside, resulting in a foul and hitting both free throws.

Yu Jia praised: "López's basic skills are very solid, and his skills are like Yao Ming, who is one size younger. Is he a Suns Robin? López's older brother. Robin doesn't have such a good technique, and with O'Neal in the Suns, he won't get much of a chance. ”

Zhang said: "Lopes is really good, he should be able to replace Boone as a starter in the future, Boone has no offensive ability." ”

This is the person that Nelson Sr. frates, Nelson Sr. feels that Lopez has a lot of Duncan's shadow on him, although his physical fitness is not very good, and his athletic talent is not high, but he knows how to use his strengths, just like Duncan, in the case of a relative disadvantage in physical fitness, he can do his best, and his unpretentious offense and defense bring the same efficiency. Lopez's skills are also relatively comprehensive, and he is one of the few traditional centers, and he is familiar with various offensive methods at the No. 5 position, such as hook hands, back-to-back singles, turnaround jumpers, etc. Stanford has the two brothers, and they can compete with any school in the NCAA. His drawbacks are that he doesn't have a good control over the rebound and doesn't move fast enough on the defensive end.

The Warriors' two interior players couldn't put pressure on the offensive end, and the outside line tried to score again and again, and fell into a one-on-one battle. And Anderson played a pick-and-roll match and hit a high jumper.

Yi Jianlian's bench is also not simple, and Anderson was selected by the Nets with the 21st pick in the first round this year. In college, Anderson was the best player at UC Berkeley, and in 2007-2008 he led the Pacific 10 in scoring, averaging 21 per game. 6 points, with the league's Mayo, Lefu, and López all behind him. However, UC Berkeley did not make it to the NCAA men's basketball tournament, which affected his pick.

With the play of two substitute insiders, the Nets played a wave of 9-0 to catch up with the score. Watson finally broke through and drew a foul and hit both free throws to help the Warriors "open" in the second quarter, but then Durin assisted Carter to shoot a three-pointer.

35 to 30. With only five points separating the two sides, the Nets' bench looked like a bunch of bench bandits.

The elder Nelson frustrated and asked for a timeout, ready to change the main force to play, leaving only one Turyaf on the bench.

"Ronnie (Turiaf), you don't have to go out of the way, be responsible for Lopez on the inside, don't let him go to the basket. Andris (Bidrins), you have to defend yourself to interfere with Anderson's shot. Zhou dealt with Durin, chased after blocking and dismantling, and if the opponent broke through very resolutely, Stephen should pay attention to the help defense, and Zhou should pay attention to the rotation position. ”

Now the Nets have five people on the court who can shoot, and Durin is very good at shooting, Jarvis? Hayes can also shoot three-pointers, and the rotation is a must. Harrington was put on the bench in anticipation of Randolph's arrival, and the defensive strategy would definitely have to be adjusted.

At this time, the Nets replaced Carter and replaced Simmons, and the offensive center was placed on the inside, ready to switch to a combination of inside and outside, Lopez as the axis, and Durin and Anderson on the outside to block and attack, and three pitchers to empty the inside line to look for opportunities. The lineup is reasonable, and the Warriors dare not shrink anymore, otherwise the opponent may have a three-point rain.
