Since joining the Warriors, Stephen? Jackson's shooting percentage is not very high, but he can play a very important role on the defensive end.

Fans who like the Spurs will find Jackson's defensive style and Bruce, who has been named to the All-Defensive Team many times, if you look closely? Bowen is a lot like that, both are great individual defenders and team defenders.

As long as the team needs it, Jackson can defend the big man on top and pull away to defend the small one.

For the big man's defense, he often pulls the right distance, waiting for an opportunity to cut off the ball that passes inside. When the big man plays with the ball, he has the habit of lowering his center of gravity, using his feet and body to make it difficult for his opponent to move, and waiting for an opportunity to pull the ball. In the 2007 playoffs, he made the most of Nowitzki's defensive movement and was the number one contributor to the Warriors' Black Eight Miracle.

Against the small man's defense, Jackson moves quickly and can judge the breakthrough line very well, and even Paul can't easily get past him. The cautious attitude and quick reflexes in defense make him rarely take feints, and let his opponents sway left and right. If you want to talk about defensive shortcomings, it is probably that Jackson's rebounding ability is not outstanding. But the steal is ingenious and unworkable, making it difficult to guard.

Some people will surely ask, why is it that Jackson has never been selected to the All-Defensive Team with such good defense, even if it is a second team? Quite simply, his defense is underrated. And the selection of the best defensive team has never been fair and fair. Basketball pundits have also been slamming the league for years.

The All-Defensive Team selection was unfair for two reasons.

The first is the selection criteria of the alliance.

From the perspective of modern basketball, the defense of a power forward and a center is very similar, and it is generally called interior defense. Small forwards have a great defensive resemblance to guards and are called perimeter defenses.

There are forwards inside and outside the defense, so the NBA's forward is the most ambiguous and widest profession in the defensive zone, and it is no exaggeration to say that the forward position is probably the most talented defensive line in the league, comparable to the center at the top and a guard at the bottom. For example, Garnett and Duncan are by no means weaker than Ben Wallace in defense, and Battier and Bowen are not inferior to Kidd.

But the selection of the best defensive team doesn't care about this set at all, there are only two strikers in total, who do you defend? This is very unfair to those swing people with vague identities, for many years, due to Duncan and Garnett dominating the two positions of forward for a long time, it is difficult for the defenders on the small front to squeeze a place even if they sharpen their heads and squeeze in. And Battier, Bowen, Gerrard? Wallace, LeBron? James, Josh? Smith and others competing for a spot on the All-Defensive Team Jackson are understandably not selected. He wants to be famous, he wants to have a record without a record......

The second reason is the recognition of the Alliance.

As we all know, the personnel structure of a team, there are stars and tricks. Offensively, there will generally be a core and an outer core. So in terms of pertinence, the defending side must also have defensive stars, defensive tricks, and naturally there will be internal and external cores on defense.

The problem is that the offensive duo of inside and outside can be recognized, which can be reflected in the luxury data. The defensive inner and outer core may not be recognized, mainly because of the misplaced defense. For example, during the Lakers' three-game winning streak, the Lakers' defensive core was obviously the captain small forward Fox, no matter which team he played, he would generally be responsible for dealing with the offensive core of the outside, and he would also cooperate with the defense and dismantling, and whoever threatened him would deal with whom. As a result, when it came to the selection of the best team, there was nothing to do with him, and the wolf king and Shi Buddha were pressed in the forward position. And the Lakers' overall defense is good, and the league can't ignore it, and the reputation of the outside defense falls on the guard who drinks tea with the opposing player on the defensive end. No way, who called Fox a forward and someone called a defender? Could it be that every game video was called up to prove that Fox was the core of the misplaced defense? The judges of the All-Defensive Team are not going to do such a boring thing, they just know that the forwards are full and the defenders are empty, so the defenders are in the All-Defensive Team.

It can be said that Fox has never been taken seriously, but as soon as this person is old, the Lakers dynasty collapsed immediately in 2003, whether it is the "OK" combination or the later "F4" how to attack, it does not work.

A striking recent example of this is also the Lakers. Last season's Finals Lakers loss was chalked up to a defensive problem by pundits, with small forward Radmanovic targeting star player Paul? Pierce was grossly negligent, causing the Lakers to miss out on the championship.

Hey? Kobe Bryant is the best defensive first team, and he's the outer core of the defense? It's a pity that he was guarding against Posey at that time, and he was not responsible for Pierce, the opponent's first main attack point on the outside, and Posey was basically dead if he didn't defend himself. Look at Kobe Bryant's achievements in lightning protection Allen, Ray Allen 20. 3 points, 5 rebounds, 2. 5 assists 1. 3 steals and 50 shots. 7% and 52 three-point shooting. 4% and 86 free throw percentage. 7%, and also broke the three-point record in the finals by the way. (Who told you to tell the truth?) Swarthy Volute! ）

The truth is, the best defender on the perimeter is not the same as a guard on the perimeter lineup. Most of the time, most teams are blocked by their own team's junior front position, regardless of the principle of alignment. For example, the Spurs defend the outer core for Bowen and the inner core for Duncan. The Pistons defensive core is Prince, the core of the core Ben Wallace, the former Pacers defensive core is Artest, and the core of the core O'Neal Jr. These people are the key to defense, not only single defense, but also anti-blocking and dismantling.

As for the game, Bowen is the main defense Nash, Prince is the main defense Kobe, and Battier is the main defense Delon, such phenomena are commonplace. Small forwards play a pivotal role in the team's perimeter defense. And what about the defenders who made the All-Star list? Most of the time, they play against the tricks of the dragon far more than they do against the star killers.

Of course, there are also guards who use guards to act as the team's defensive core, but it is an exception, the Kings at the beginning of the century, Doug? Christie loves to defend more than to score.

That's the biggest hole in the league's selection of the All-Defensive Team, and for years, there have been other people who have done the dirty work on the perimeter, but at the end of the season, they didn't fit in, so the awards were given to those who didn't do what they wanted. In the past 10 years, the league's top outside defenders have been doing the heavy duty of marking the opponent's star knife every day, they are called Bowen, Prince, Battier, Kirilenko, Artest...... But just because they're strikers, they don't get recognition.

Poor people like Battier and Prince have never entered the league defense team so far, and can only occasionally make cameos in the second team against Cork? Hinrich, a dry chicken guard who is blown into scum as soon as he is misplaced, and even Larry, who likes gambling steals? Hughes is not as good, and that buddy has been selected for a defensive period, which cannot but be said to be a great irony.

After the timeout, the game between the Warriors and Hornets continued. Scott's adjustment was that Paul came on early, and the Hornets' offense picked up immediately.

However, the Warriors' offense also found a breakthrough, and Margeti squeezed Paul away after being misplaced and hit two consecutive jumpers. Even Paul, it is impossible to block a devil like Margeti in the wrong place. But can Jackson's single defense really limit David to some extent? West.

Zhou Xuan replaced Watson in the middle of the second quarter, Nelson Sr. replaced Margeti to rest, replaced Harrington, and Turyaf continued to stay on the court. The "butcher" can't play a role in the offense, but the ability in the low post is stronger than Biedrins, and with him on the inside, it is not easy for the Hornets to get into the box, and he also gave Armstrong a big hat just now.

"Pass me the ball!" Harrington shouted at Zhou Xuan when he passed the half, he was almost suffocated.

Margety and Jackson had plenty of offensive opportunities before, but he's only taken three shots so far, and he's been completely shelved as a blue-collar after the pick-and-roll. Zhou Xuan also wanted to pass to him before, but Paul was always dangling around Harrington after being misplaced, and it was easy to make mistakes when the pass was low. If you pass a high ball, Harrington can't attack with his back on the perimeter, and Paul can also disrupt the shooting rhythm closely.

Zhou Xuan also did not pass it on to Jackson. The reason why Jackson stayed on the court was to prevent Paul and West's pick-and-roll cooperation, and if the offensive end consumed more energy, he would be difficult to support in the second half. Although Jackson is an iron man, it is inevitable that he will lose efficiency.

Zhou Xuan and Harrington broke through on the right side after blocking and dismantling the arc, dribbling the ball to the 45th corner and pulling it outside, still holding back West's defense. Harrington cut in the middle, and West immediately went back inside to follow Harrington. Paul chased up from the flank and completed the wheel transition. Zhou Xuan hesitated between the choice of passing and shooting, and missed a chance in vain, passing to Azubuuk, who in turn handed it to Jackson, and time was running out, and Jackson hit a three-point shot from the perimeter.

The Hornets hit back, and Paul assists Rasu? Butler made a mid-range shot to close the score. 45 to 39.

In the next few minutes, Zhou Xuan didn't play well, and he got into trouble after blocking and dismantling. Harrington was on the perimeter, and Paul misplaced the pass to prevent the ball and interfered with the shot; Once Harrington cut inside, Paul immediately went to the three-point line to chase Zhou Xuan, and West returned to the interior to switch defenses, and they cooperated too tacitly. And the other interior of the Warriors, whether it is Turiaf or Bidrins, has no shooting ability when he pulls out to block and dismantle, and he can let it go, and Zhou Xuan can't pass the ball to them. Wait for the center to enter the interior and receive the ball to face Chandler's defense.

Azubuuk's impact on the outside line is strong, but his sense of cooperation is not as prominent as Margeti, and when Zhou Xuan tried to find him several times, he ran away. Jackson didn't know if he wanted to conserve his strength, or if he felt that he had a good hand, so he didn't intersperse the runs, and he just pulled out the ball on the outside.

The Warriors' offense became very rigid, Zhou Xuan couldn't find a rhythm when he played, but Paul came to the spirit and sent assists in a row to catch up with the score.

In front of the halftime, Harrington received a pass from Zhou Xuan on the periphery, and despite Paul's interference, he pulled out a three-point shot. The Warriors ended the first half with a 52-48 lead. Zhou Xuan scored 5 points and 5 assists, made a turnover, and his performance was basically qualified.
