In the NBA, there are countless examples of the bottom team beating the champion team, because the strength of the players of the two teams does not necessarily determine the outcome of the game, and factors such as on-court tactics, mentality, and physical condition will lead to different outcomes of the game.

……

On the 9th, Madison Square Garden, the Knicks hosted the Dallas Mavericks.

This match is also the highlight of the new season.

Mavericks coach Carlisle did not have a large rotation of the main lineup like last season, and before the game, many bulls complained on the Internet, is it because Cuban was fined and ran out of money?

Just kidding, how could the Kuban run out of money......

It's just that at the beginning of the new season, Carlisle believes that Stern will chase after him with a knife.

However, speaking of which, this is the first time Lin Yi has officially fought against this cosmic cow.

Small, who didn't suffer that devastating injury, a veteran driver who is still pushing for his first ring, Gerard Wallace, who is eager to prove himself in Dallas, and Kelly Irving, an 11-year champion with a flamboyant style of play......

"What a dream lineup." Lin Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, this calf was obviously driven crazy by himself, for three seasons in a row, the luxury tax paid by Cuban alone was worth a year's salary of some weak teams.

It's a pity that the Knicks are also a dream lineup.

And the Knicks still haven't been able to trigger the luxury line this year......

James Dolan: Oh hey, don't save me money, feel free to spend boldly!

Lin Yi's new contract will not take effect until the summer of '13, and Lin Yi will certainly not save Dolan money, because in the future, if the Knicks want to keep Klay, Green and others, the luxury tax will definitely break through the sky.

The Madison Square Garden in the new season can be described as murderous, and many stars who used to like to play the Knicks away have lamented that since Lin Yi entered the league, the atmosphere of fans in this stadium who like to defect is gone.

After the warm-up, the Knicks were led by the boxing champion, Da Mo, Lin Yi, Green, and Paul tonight.

On the Mavericks' side, Small, Nuo, Wallace, Caron Butler, and Irving start.

It is worth mentioning that the butterfly effect brought by Lin Yi made Kidd, who was supposed to defect from Dallas this season, choose to stay with the Mavericks.

In the original 12/13 season, Kidd would join the Knicks because he disliked the Mavericks' lineup, but the Mavericks' lineup was quite fearful in this life, so Kidd chose to stay in Dallas with a base salary.

That's actually a good thing for Kidd, because in the future Cuban will be crazy about dissing Kidd over this, and will refuse to retire his jersey in the Mavericks because of it.

However, before the start of the new season, Kidd also made it clear that this will be the last season of his career.

Kidd, who will turn 40 on March 23 next year, is running out of gas after nearly 20 years of playing.

Lin Yi will not be complacent just because he beat the Mavericks in the finals of the 10/11 season, because Lin Yi knows very well that this is a team worthy of respect.

And on the basketball court, the best way to respect your opponent is to give it your all to beat them.

……

Amid the cheers of the New York fans, Lin Yi defeated Stoudemire on a jump ball, and Paul took control of the basketball and began to dribble towards the Mavericks' half.

"Oh?"

While Captain Paul was observing the situation on the court, he and Lin Yi both had an insight into what was special about the Mavericks' defense tonight......

Mavericks coach Carlisle's face on the sidelines was full of confidence, and Carlisle's expression seemed to say: Surprise or not? Unexpected or not?

The Knicks' players will not be unfamiliar with Dallas' defensive tactics tonight, because although the NBA's defensive tactics are endless, there are actually only three defensive tactics that are more popular in the NBA.

The first is man-to-man defense, which is known to be the most common defensive tactic on the basketball court.

The advantage of man-to-man defense is that the division of labor is clear and the alignment is unified; But the drawbacks are also obvious, because man-to-man defense often means a misalignment in the face of a pick-and-roll, which can easily be found by top ball handlers.

The second type of defensive tactic is zone defense, also known as joint defense, which is a tactic that reduces physical exertion in exchange for strong pressure in some areas.

However, due to the restrictions of NBA rules, it is difficult for the most extreme joint defense to appear in the NBA, and with the NBA players becoming more functional and versatile, it is not difficult to find holes in the NBA's zone defense.

The third type of defense is the amoeba defense, invented by coach Jerry Takanian, which is a slightly gambling defense that, if rotated well, will give your team a steady stream of steals and fast breaks.

In the future, this set of tactics will often appear in the fire war, this set of tactics has a variety of variations, simply put, this set of tactics is through a lot of physical exertion, to stop the ball carrier outside the three-point line, in exchange for steals, to create opportunities to play defensive counterattacks.

Tonight's Mavericks chose to use amoeba defense.

Mavericks coach Carlisle did not blindly follow the trend, after all, Van Gundy's strategy to defend Lin Yi requires too many front-loaded requirements, and Carlisle firmly believes that what suits him is the best.

In this game, the player in charge of the Mavericks marking Paul is Butler, which is to avoid the defender who appears in front of Lin Yi after playing with Lin Yi is Irving.

Nowitzki is responsible for defending the boxing champion, and the boxing king takes a circle in defense, and the boxing champion's independent offensive ability is not strong, as long as he guards against the boxing champion to catch the ball.

The more athletic Smalls is in charge of protecting the paint area, Wallace is in charge of keeping an eye on Lin, and Irving only needs to keep up with Danny Green.

The Mavericks used high-pressure defense to force the Knicks to calmly cooperate in the high post, and in this way, in order to avoid passing mistakes, the Knicks could choose plan A is Paul single, plan B is Lin Yi single, and plan C is Paul and Lin Yi block and dismantle.

If the Knicks choose option C, then Butler and Wallace will switch defenses as soon as possible and deny the Knicks the opportunity to shoot from the outside easily.

It can be said that Carlisle's defensive strategy tonight is a set of upgraded amoeba defense specifically aimed at the Knicks, and he is not aimed at Lin Yi alone, but the Knicks' passing and cutting system in the new season.

Lin Yi and Paul glanced at each other, as the No. 1 assistant coach and No. 2 assistant coach of the Knicks, the fried chicken brothers quickly reached a tacit understanding.

Paul chose to hoist the ball to Lin Yi, and at this time, Mavericks coach Carlisle on the sidelines showed a smile, because after Lin Yi received the ball, the power of the Mavericks' defensive system would be truly reflected.

I saw Owen quickly rush towards Lin Yi, although Owen's defense is also a black hole, but the task given to him by Carlisle is not complicated, that is, to take the bag as soon as Lin Yi receives the ball.

The timing of this pinch attack will make Lin Yi very uncomfortable, because he will be forced into a dead corner before he can make a move.

So what if Lin Yi chooses to pass?

This is why amoeba defense is called a slightly gambling defense, because the real core of this defensive tactic is not to trap, but to limit the opponent and anticipate the opponent's pass.

As Lin prepares to pass the ball to Danny Green, he is alert to the sight of Smalls and Butler, who are moving towards Green.

In order to avoid mistakes, Lin Yi passed the ball back to our gun, and at this time, the Knicks' first attack had already lost 17 seconds of offensive time

Mavericks coach Carlisle on the sidelines smiled after his plan succeeded: "This is a set of defensive tactics specially prepared for you, Lin!" ”

In Carlisle's eyes, even if Lin Yi is a Da Luo Jin Immortal, the "Immortal Punishment Array" laid by the calf tonight will definitely make him uncomfortable!

"The heart of playing tactics is dirty!" On the court, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth raised slightly.

In order to target themselves, the "Anti-Forest Alliance" must have worked hard, right?

But that's what makes it interesting.

In fact, just before Owen was pinched, Lin Yi could directly force the ball the moment he received it, but Lin Yi knew that that would be in the calf's arms.

Because defensive tactics do not necessarily have to defend the opponent to death, allowing the opponent to choose an inefficient offensive method to defend can be said to be successful.

On the court, the Knicks attacked first, and Paul forced a pullout with little time left, but unfortunately the basketball knocked out of the frame.

For Madison Square Garden fans, this is still a rare time they have seen the Knicks fail to score on the first offense.

And looking back, Irving, who picked up the rebound, took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack......
