Chapter 33 Can't Beat It, Can't Catch Up
"Toot ~"
The referee blew the whistle, "Out of bounds." ”
The audience was in an uproar.
Dinar's face was blue and white for a while, and finally turned into a burst of red, like a rap face, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Replay footage shows that before Dinard is about to go to the basket, a big man emerges from behind.
Paul Millsap stretched out his long arms and shrouded Dinard like a veil of the sky, and Dinard clearly sensed that something was wrong, and an alert lever dodged Millsap's block.
Gliding in the air and shooting again, there was a loud "pop", and Stephen Smith, who was making up the defense, slapped it firmly.
In one attack, he actually encountered two assists, and Dinard showed a resentful look, as if to say - I'm not a pretty beauty, is it appropriate for you to rush over like this?
"How could it be so fast!"
Patrick Ewing couldn't help but complain: "Is this a low-profile version of Ben Wallace + Kirilenko's inside combination!" ”
The audience didn't realize that the 76ers were fast, and they only felt that the young man Dinard was really stunned and greener than grass, and plunged into the 76ers' interior pocket formation.
If Dinard knew that the audience thought so, he would definitely be depressed, basketball is not about passing, passing itself is a technical job, you only know how difficult it is to pass the ball on the court, and you should look at the big picture as a half-court overlook of a computer game?
Ewing stood up and gestured for the team to adopt an interior offensive strategy.
Dinard had the intention of getting back on the field, so he had to catch the ball and hoist it in.
Gortat had the ball with his back, and it wasn't Smith who was defending him, it was Paul Millsap, who was nearly 10 centimeters shorter than him.
"Crazy?" The narrator couldn't help but exclaim.
But the craziest is yet to come.
Gortat, a bareheaded, hideous-looking center with a height of 2.11 meters and a weight that looks close to 240 pounds, couldn't beat Paul Millsap, who was 10 centimeters shorter than him, at all. Paul Millsap's legs were like two pillars nailed to the ground, and the force that bounced off made Gortat stunned to think he might be pushing a mountain.
Wang Mingming's eyes flashed on the sidelines, and he studied it clearly, although Paul Millsap's ability value is not high, the confrontation has reached the A-level level, the strength of the low pile inside line is amazing, and the weight does not suffer against Gortat, the center of gravity is low, and it is strange that he is unstable.
"Is this an NBA-level confrontation?" Gortat was skeptical that he was right to leave Europe to pursue his dreams in the United States, and that an unknown rookie would be more ferocious than any interior player he had encountered in Europe.
And the rules are different, which makes him even more unbearable for this confrontation.
Gortat couldn't turn around and distributed the ball to Dinard, who nearly smashed the basket with a three-point shot, and the rebound was protected by Saflosa, who is a small forward.
The moment he landed, Saflosa turned and advanced.
A short pass found Willie Green, who was incredibly fast, dribbling with a short leg, and the whole 76ers were like a clockwork machine, running wildly.
Willie Green is a brave ball-handling scorer, and in fact, he could have had a brighter future. Unfortunately, in the 05-06 season, that is, last season, he suffered a serious right knee injury, and his progress came to an abrupt halt, and the team's status also declined, oscillating between the main team and the substitute.
He wasn't supposed to play in the summer league, but after the end of the season, he contacted head coach Cheeks and expressed his willingness to play in the summer league to regain his form.
Wang's run-and-bomb tactics were just to his taste, and the young men advanced to the front court one by one.
These young rookies who have not yet been baptized by the NBA, each skinny like a reed, he easily pushed off the No. 11 player and No. 11 rookie JJ Redick, hit a layup, and scored the first and second points of the game.
It took less than 5 seconds to go from grabbing the rebound to Willie Green's direct start of advancement, and Willie Green's offensive options may not have been the best, but the Magic didn't have time to react defensively.
In the face of Wang Mingming's set of bombardment tactics, Ewing, who followed the old-school tactical concept, seemed a little scrambling.
It took the Magic five rounds to open the game with a mid-range jumper from an unknown player, and by this point, the 76ers had scored seven points and opened with a 7-2 lead.
The 76ers attacked again, and Louis Williams made a three-pointer.
"Call a timeout!"
Magic assistant coach Iris reminded Ewing, and Ewing reacted and asked for the first timeout of the game.
The pause is called, but the question is, what does it do after the pause is called? The inside attack is blocked, and the outside line can't open the situation, and it seems that there is no way to solve the dilemma of the game at all.
Ewing was stunned for thirty seconds, and suddenly a flash of inspiration occurred.
"We play high blocking."
He talked to the players, and then laid out the "No. 1, No. 2 and No. 5 positions in the high position", drew some simple tactical circuit diagrams, and analyzed what the ball carrier should do after the breakthrough, what the wing players should do, and how the interior players should be dismantled.
It's the same.
The timeout came back and the Magic attacked.
Dinard blocked and dismantled outside the three-point line, Smith moved to the upper line to block and dismantle, and after the misalignment, Dinar shook off his body, and Dinar hit a direct mid-range jumper!
"See, the tactics worked!" Ewing slapped the tactical board excitedly.
"One-block cover! Sell! Hit, good shot! The on-site commentator said passionately, and the audience gave thunderous applause.
Wang Tomorrow frowned off the court, Gortat's cover quality is okay, and the high-level blocking is indeed a threat to the 76ers.
"Do you want to call a timeout?" Randy asked.
Wang Ming shook his head, not worried at all: "Don't be nervous, it's only a ball." The players will adjust themselves, these offensive and defensive tactics, I don't know how many times we have done it for them in a week of training, they should be able to understand it. ”
After the Magic scored two goals in a row, the 76ers' players adjusted themselves and took the initiative to expand the defensive area.
In particular, Smith and Paul Millsap, who are on the inside, have no awareness of the inside line at all, and when they are defending and pick-and-roll, they resolutely wrap the opposing ball carrier with the defender, forcing the opposing ball carrier to pass the ball or delay the attack.
Dinard risked a through pass that was cut straight by Paul Millsap.
Without the master-level passing ability of Nash and Kidd, he can't seize the opportunity to block and change defenses for a moment, and the ball passed out is easy to form a mistake.
And once they make a mistake, the 76ers players who were instilled with the fast-break concept by Wang Mingming, like wolf cubs, frantically assaulted, and went to the front court mercilessly, either impacting the basket or shooting three-pointers.
The rhythm is pulled.
The two sides immediately turned into a chaotic battle, and in the chaos, the Magic found that it seemed that it didn't matter whether there was a center or not, and Gortat turned back and ran five or six times without touching the ball once.
