Chapter 173: Courtney Lee's Approach
Relying on the super-horsepower Billups brand engine, the Nuggets stretched the difference to 7 points as soon as they came up in the second quarter.
Originally, he wanted to follow George Carr's use of Anthony to rotate Yi Jianlian, but unfortunately the current Nuggets still have a trump card in hand, and they are not afraid to let Anthony rest off the court.
We are not so rich, so we can only pull out the only nuclear weapon every day and bask in the sun.
Yi Jianlian came on the court, because the point difference was suddenly too big, he played two by himself first, the first ball was covered by Nene , and the second ball went directly to the basket and caused the latter's foul to complete revenge.
2 plus 1 scored to narrow the gap to 4 points.
But I was covered, and I only scored 3 points in two attacks, so that's still one point away!
Yi Jianlian's math is still very good.
In the face of the "Lithuanian superstar" Kreza broke through again, and after pulling away from Kreza near the free throw line, he hit a jump shot directly.
The Nuggets' inside line is very seriously contracted, which is the reason why Yi Jianlian chose to jump shot, because he is afraid of his breakthrough, the Nuggets' high position is not inside, and they are all waiting in the three-second zone! He just needs to shake Kreza to get the space to shoot.
Kreza is a typical example of European players who have difficulty adapting to the NB, returning to the NB twice, and returning again both times because of the difficulty of adapting.
Maybe one-on-one defense is too common in the NB, and there are too many strong forwards at the small forward position in the league at the moment, which makes him very uncomfortable!
Yi Jianlian scored 5 points in a row, and was about to tie the score, Chauncey Billups stepped up his personal offense at this time, and a three-point jumper against Mo Williams extended the difference to 5 points again.
Mo Williams was anxious to return one, and when the Bucks' offensive formation was not fully opened, he chose to respond directly with three points, deflecting the basket and protecting the ball by None.
Nene who entered the league in 02 learned a lot from Marcus Camby, and he also has a set of protection for the backcourt ball, and Bogut, who has always had a good sense of smell for the frontcourt board, was stunned today and did not take advantage of him, and the game has not been played until now, and he has not yet gotten an offensive rebound.
This has rarely happened since the start of the 009 season.
The absence of a frontcourt board means that there is no chance of a second attack, which undoubtedly adds another layer of psychological burden to players like Courtney Lee and Ilyasova who rely on open positions to attack.
This psychological burden has also affected their hand, with Ilyasova shooting 0-of-3 so far, Courtney Lee being a little better than him, but only 1-of-3.
The two three-point ambush points on the outside could not be opened, which is also the reason why Nene and Kenyon Martin dared to stay in the three-second zone.
Yi Jianlian's impact on the basket has also decreased, and he can only use shooting as a means of finishing, and Kreza's reaction is slower at this time, and Yi Jianlian's defense is becoming more and more close-wound.
It's a vicious circle.
Anthony was also brought on the court at this time, to say that George Carl was also really ruthless, seeing that he would be able to kill the Bucks immediately, he immediately took his strongest offensive weapon on the court, which was to put the most pressure on the offensive end.
And Kreiza has made a more effective demonstration of how to defend Yi Jianlian now, that is, constantly defending closely, this kind of defense based on the gourd, Anthony is still willing to do.
In the final analysis, it's not that he doesn't want to defend, but he doesn't want to defend, for fear of being used as a background board!
He's Anthony!
How can you be someone else's backdrop during a game?
The Nuggets' momentum has been even more out of control since Anthony came on the court.
The score margin continued to widen.
By the end of the first half, the score had come to 5-44, and the Bucks were already 14 points behind!
Yi Jianlian only scored 6 points in the second quarter, which means that after he scored 5 points in a row in the second quarter, he only scored one point on free throws in the whole game.
Even he was so hard, let alone the others!
Before entering the away channel, Yi Jianlian heard the audience taunts from the audience seats on both sides of the channel:
"It seems that this Chinese player is not as powerful as the outside says!"
"Yes! He also said that he is the new force of small forwards after Cameron and LeBron, and now the small forwards of other teams in the league are so weak? ”
"Chinese players are Chinese players in the end, and if the routines are studied, they are completely useless!"
Indeed, there are enough rotten ones!
Yi Jianlian cursed in his heart, his footsteps did not stop at all, and walked straight into the passage.
This is probably the most powerless situation, obviously I heard the ridicule of others, but I didn't even have the confidence to respond, because, so far, neither the small heel coaching team nor himself has come up with a good solution to the dilemma!
The inside line can't get the board!
You can't open the outside line!
Because of this, the Nuggets contracted the inside line so that he couldn't get in, so he could only choose to shoot!
The Nuggets' perimeter line further puts pressure on the close defense.
There is no problem that can be easily solved!
And how can we break the deadlock?
"Coach, I have an idea!"
In the away team's locker room, I discussed with the teaching assistant team for a long time, but there was no gain, except for some useless chicken soup, and then I couldn't talk about any substantive tactics that could break the deadlock.
Courtney Lee, who had been silent, spoke at this time, and for a while everyone's eyes looked at him, Courtney Lee's expression stiffened, a little nervous, after all, so many team bigwigs stared at him, but he didn't hesitate, he still asked again, "Coach, can I say it?" ”
"Okay!" Xiao couldn't help it now, so he agreed.
"In the second half we can give the attack to Yi"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Was it easy to keep the ball in the first half? Mason had just heard half a sentence before he opened his mouth to curse.
Underestimated him.
Yi Jianlian glanced at him.
Mo Williams glanced at him.
"Well, you go on!" Mason sneered and shut up.
"But Yi no longer plays with the ball, he can play without the ball, do more running, he is a player who can receive the ball at any place and attack, as long as he runs, the Nuggets' defense will definitely change, with Yi's strength, he can find the best way to attack in the continuous running without the ball, and the rest of us just need to feed the ball in time!"
"What I said may not be professional, but that's what it means, in N, that's how the head coach arranges for team members to help the team's scorers score!"
Courtney Lee scratched his head awkwardly after speaking, "Coach, I don't know if you understand." ”
"I see!" Yi Jianlian reacted first, in short, if a team is compared to a tank, what Xiao did in the first half was to let Yi Jianlian become the engine and move forward with the tank, and Courtney Lee meant to let Yi Jianlian go to the barrel of the tank to fire, and they would use them as the engine to push Yi Jianlian to fire.
Yi Jianlian expressed the whole meaning into tactics more professionally, and after listening to it, he agreed directly: "Let's try it in the second half!" ”11
