A team's defense has its own defensive system, which cannot be formed in a day, and requires teammates to run in for a long time, while the supersonic defensive system basically starts from the outside blockade after this period of running-in.

The three backcourt players of Ray Allen, Battier, and Lu Fei formed an outside defensive gate, and the penalty area was always above the level with the defense of Collison and Oku.

But Collison is a rookie after all, and defending a player like Garnett, especially a player whose bounce and movement speed is far faster than him, is too much to lose when defending.

This is when the regular defense is useless.

At half-time, everyone in the dressing room didn't speak, everyone understood what the problem was, but there was no solution.

"No, I'll go and flank Garnett with Nick." Oku said suddenly.

"I can also give up Hassell's defense to help Nick!" Battier also said.

Collison was stunned, he knew that because he couldn't defend Garnett, the team would fall behind, but none of his teammates complained about him, and even wanted to help him take on the responsibility of defense.

There was a warm current in his heart.

At this time, Lu Fei stood up and said, "Maybe I have a way to prevent it." ”

Well?

McMillan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he remembered the game against the Lakers, Lu Fei arranged an offensive tactic against the Lakers power forward position, although it only played for a few minutes, but it had a good effect.

And that tactic also inspired him a lot, although he also knew before the game that the Lakers' power forward position was a weak point, but he didn't think of using Wang Zhizhi, who had not even practiced together, to open the offense.

So when Lu Fei said that he had a method, his eyes immediately swept back and forth among the substitutes, who else in the substitutes could be up to the task of defense?

After looking around, he was disappointed to find that there didn't seem to be anyone.

"Lu, I don't think our team's bench players can defend Garnett one-on-one, of course our players are great, but Garnett is really one of the strongest players in the league at the power forward position." McMillan said with a sigh.

As a rookie coach who has just retired from the game and has been an assistant for three years and a head coach for two years, McMillan has always had a good relationship with the players, and the atmosphere of tactical discussion in the team has always been good, so he is not averse to the players giving their opinions.

Lu Fei smiled: "I didn't plan to change people to defend, Nick defended very well." ”

"Then you ......," McMillan was stunned.

"But, Nick, you need to be tougher." Lu Fei said solemnly: "Think about Karl Malone's defense, be tough, press Garnett outside the three-second zone, if he dares to shoot, you have to dare to go up, don't be afraid of fouls, it's a big deal to leave the game with five fouls, and continue to push him with substitutions." ”

"It's not just Nick, it's all of us, and against any Timberwolves player, if they dare to rush into the box, you have to give them a tough physical confrontation."

"What about the opponent's block and air cut?" Ray Allen points to the crux of the matter.

When the opponent blocks and dismantles the empty cut, the time to bypass the defense is too late to keep up, and it will definitely leave the opponent the opportunity to cut.

"Do you want to choose a pinch attack after the air cut?" Battier also asked his question.

There was a goal in the first half, because after Sprewell's air cut, Battier opted to make up the defense, and Ray Allen rounded the defense to get a two-man attack, giving Hassel a chance to shoot.

"The solution to these two problems is actually the same." Lu Fei smiled: "Change the guard, change the guard infinitely!" ”

"Infinite Shifts?" Everyone was stunned.

"Infinite change defense means that when facing the ball carrier and teammates to block and dismantle, the original player who defends the ball carrier does not have to chase the ball carrier too much, but the player who is the opposing block and pick-and-roll player defends the ball carrier. To put it more simply, always have a defender in front of the ball carrier, you see? Lu Fei explained to everyone.

Infinite Switching is based on the tacit understanding and physical fitness of the five players, which is very demanding.

There can't be too obvious defensive holes in the team, and all five guys must be strong defensively. Weak points will be targeted.

But there don't seem to be many points where the supersonic can be targeted, and will the Timberwolves be able to think of a solution to the offense in a short period of time?

Such a non-stop rotation of positions, coupled with Lu Fei's previous requirements for tough defense, will definitely have a certain effect.

When McMillan thought of this, there was a faint hint of excitement in his heart.

This kind of defensive tactic, it seems that few teams in the league have done this, because the current direction of the league's teams is to require a tall interior line.

When a tall interior player is facing a small man's offense, the defense always suffers.

Therefore, many teams will not choose to change defenses, and generally ask the blocked defender to bypass and continue to catch up with the defender, or the forward line.

"What if Kassel beats me?" Oku asked.

"I'm sure you can interfere with his shooting and layups, and if it's a big deal, let him play well, and we'll recognize him as old as he can score all the balls in the remaining two quarters." The corners of Lu Fei's mouth hooked a trace of arc: "There is another point, if Garnett holds the ball and singles, Sean and Memet, you can choose to pinch the attack, remember not to let him go on the line, leave the bottom line to him." ”

"Okay, I see." Oku nodded.

What Lu Fei said is already very clear, in fact, this set of tactics can not only be used to flank Garnett, but also to make different flanking choices in specific areas in the face of different opponents.

McMillan nodded in agreement, and his only concern now is whether this defensive style will be flawed without intensive training.

"It's a big deal, just use this game to pay for tuition!" McMillan gritted his teeth and thought.

At the end of the halftime break, players from both sides came on the field, walking in the tunnel of players, Ray Allen and Lu Fei fell far behind their teammates.

Ray Allen asked in a low voice, "You let Nick defend tough, and you're not afraid of causing a conflict?" ”

Lu Fei smiled and shook his head calmly.

Fight and retreat from the iron-blooded wolf king, what is there to be afraid of?

Although the team trailed by fifteen points, when the supersonic players came on the field, the fans still burst into warm applause.

The passion of the Seattle fans infected every player on the field, and everyone's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Sun Yiping said to the broadcast camera: "After halftime, let's watch the second half of the game between the SuperSonics and the Timberwolves...... There is still no problem with the supersonic offense, their basketball conduction is like flowing water, Oku's outside cut after blocking and dismantling, Lu Fei passed the ball out, Oku made a three-point shot, good shot! ”

"Oku's shooting is much more accurate than when he was with the Pistons, and of course, this is also the reason why Lu Fei's breakthrough helped him pull away from the spacing." Zhang Weiping said: "But now the supersonic speed is still 12 points behind, and if they want to win the game, they still have to be able to defend it." ”

All eyes were on the basketball court, and everyone wondered if the SuperSonics would be able to find a solution to the defense after halftime adjustments.

The Timberwolves attacked.
