Chapter 160: The Effect is Outstanding

The Jazz's tactics haven't changed over the years, and they're still the most famous pick-and-roll tactics.

Where the Jazz are better than the Nuggets is their style of play, and the Nuggets are the kind of team that goes all out and likes fast breaks; The Jazz, on the other hand, are a team with clear tactics and torture to death. They keep passing the ball, controlling the attacking time, and it is easy to exhaust the opposition defence.

Honestly, pick-and-roll tactics aren't complicated and are a regular tactic for all teams, but the Jazz have always been able to create chances with ease with the combination between inside and outside.

Unlike the Jazz, other teams have struggled to play as well as the Jazz when playing pick-and-roll tactics.

Every team plays pick-and-roll, but the Jazz are undoubtedly the team that plays the best pick-and-roll tactics.

First of all, the Jazz's lineup configuration is very standard, whether it is a center, a guard or a forward, from an offensive point of view, the guard can shoot and have three points from the periphery; Secondly, the Jazz's players' reading ability and execution on the court, the coach's contribution is indispensable, the movement of the off-ball personnel, and the spirit of never giving up, continuing the Jazz's defensive powerhouse in the coming years!

This is also Jerry Sloan's masterpiece, but his tactics are a little old-fashioned, and his tactics remain the same all year round. Because in addition to blocking and dismantling, the Jazz only have Malone's strong attack.

If the pick-and-roll is restricted, the Jazz will be very embarrassed.

Although most of their blocking and pick-and-roll tactics can achieve good results when they play other teams, they are already doomed to tragedy when they encounter this Nuggets team, because in terms of lineup configuration, the Nuggets limit the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, which can be called their nemesis.

Whether it's Chi Liang or Fortson, they are both strong and have decent mobility, and they can completely keep up with Malone and Stockton.

If it was Stockton when he was young, it would naturally be difficult to restrict, but now that Stockton is old, the decline in physical fitness makes it difficult for him to get rid of the defenders.

In addition, McDyce's mobility is also not weak, which can help defend Malone and also reduce the threat of Malone.

In this case, with the Jazz's tactics and lineup, it will be difficult for them to play their pick-and-roll.

Stockton felt uncomfortable, but he opted for passing, which was practical and avoided the risk of being tackled.

Before Ma Long received the ball, Chi Liang was squeezing Ma Long to the outside as much as possible, allowing him to attack from the outside. In this way, it is possible to reduce the efficiency of Marlon.

In D'Antoni's arrangement, Malone is the top priority, because the Jazz's tactics are mainly based on him.

17 feet away from the basket, Ma Long received the basketball, although Ma Long's weight and strength are excellent, but Chi Liang is not so easy to deal with, especially in the strength of the lower limbs, Chi Liang is not inferior.

Ma Long's strength is better, but it is limited than Ji Liang's, so it is difficult for him to squeeze in.

With Chi Liang's efforts, even if Ma Long barely hits the basket, his physical consumption is bound to increase greatly.

Of course, Ji Liang, as the defender, is no exception. But if they can get rid of Malone, the Nuggets' winning rate will undoubtedly increase.

The greater Malone's physical exertion, the more in line with the interests of the Nuggets,

After receiving the ball smoothly, Ma Long began to pout his ass and squeeze it back, leaning on Chi Liang to hit inside, but Chi Liang is obviously not a vegetarian, although the strength and tonnage are slightly inferior, but Ma Long wants to squeeze away easily, and the difficulty is undoubtedly not small.

Ma Long squeezed hard a few times, barely advancing a little, but the effect was not obvious, at this time he didn't care so much, and immediately completed the turn, from the back basket to the face frame.

Chi Liang couldn't help but take a step back, and when he found that Ma Long was lifting the basketball, he immediately pounced and jumped up with Ma Long.

In mid-air, Malone was shocked, and in order to prevent being covered, he had to raise the angle of his shot and throw the basketball out.

Boom~

The basketball smashed into the basket for the closed test, McDies jammed Ostertag, and Fortson controlled the rebound.

The Nuggets' offense, Ji Liang held the ball through the half, and he chose to break through again.

Although Stockton has been selected for the best defensive team, he is now 37 years old, and compared with Ji Liang, in addition to the advantage of experience and awareness, his physical fitness is at a disadvantage in all aspects.

Due to the big gap in hardware, even if Stoke is hungry and experienced, it is difficult to play when facing Chi Liang.

This time, Ji Liang's strength and speed combined, and he broke through Stockton again, and he wanted to hit the basket.

At this time, McDyce began to pull to the side, and Ostertag was afraid of Chi Liang's pass and had to move with him.

The Jazz are excellent defensively, and their defensive strategy is mainly to occupy the three-second zone, while they also put a lot of pressure on opposing pitchers.

It's just that Chi Liang burst too fast, and the other Jazz players didn't have time to help defend at all, so they were successfully rushed to the basket by Chi Liang and easily made a layup.

The Jazz's offense, without waiting for Malone to come to the restricted area, Fortson became entangled with Malone and took the initiative to seek physical confrontation with Malone to increase his physical attrition.

'Postman' Ma Long is not iron-clad, and in the face of Chi Liang and Fortson's entanglement in turn, the physical strength passes quickly.

This time, the Jazz didn't use the pick-and-roll, and at the edge of the box, Malone stuck Fortson behind him.

After receiving the pass, Malone did not give Fortson a chance to adjust, completed the turn at the first time, and took advantage of his height and reach to turn over and hit a jumper.

"I don't believe he can survive the whole game!"

Looking at Malone's back, Fortson said secretly in his heart.

The Nuggets' tactics are very simple, in addition to limiting the Jazz's blocking and dismantling as much as possible, they also need to increase Malone's physical attrition, and finally strictly guard the restricted area and not give them a chance to enter the restricted area.

If the Jazz are always shooting from the perimeter, it will be difficult for them to maintain efficiency, and most importantly, it will put them in the rhythm of the Nuggets, which will undoubtedly be fatal to the Jazz.

For the next three minutes, the Nuggets' defense worked well.

Under their targeting, the Jazz inevitably increased their mid-to-long-range shooting, but because they had a mediocre hand, they didn't pose much of a threat to the Nuggets.

As a result, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for the Jazz to get good offensive opportunities.

10:4

In just three minutes, the two sides have a tendency to widen the difference. In terms of efficiency, there is no doubt that the Nuggets are more efficient.

In addition, the reasons of Chi Liang and Fortson also limit the play of blocking and dismantling tactics, and it is difficult to form a dislocation.

Beep~

At this time, the referee's whistle blew, but it was Jerry Sloan who chose to take a timeout.

During the timeout, the Jazz made changes to their lineup, replacing the blown out Stockton with Howard Ellis.
