Chapter 111: Tactical Arrangements
In the blink of an eye, the 2007-08 NBA season began.
The 76ers' first game was on the road against the Raptors.
The two teams were playoff opponents last season, and in the first round, the 76ers swept the Raptors, which made the Toronto Raptors a laughing stock in the league for a while, "Even the 76ers can't beat a new army, it's too wasteful!" β
Later, as the 76ers marched all the way, even reached the Eastern Conference Finals and fought 7 games with the Pistons, these remarks were a little less, and there was a feeling that the 76ers were too fierce, not because the Raptors were incompetent.
But Toronto, still regards Philadelphia as an enemy, and the 76ers play away, which has attracted great attention.
In the first game, the attendance was extremely high, comparable to the playoffs.
The Raptors still have Chris Bosh as the core, but after a season and summer, players such as Bagyani and Calderon have successfully stepped up, plus the new signing of the league's three-point sharpshooter Capono.
The Raptors' starting line for the new season has changed dramatically, from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.
T.J. Ford, Jose CalderΓ³n, Jason Capono, Chris Bosh and Andrea Baggyani.
On the other hand, the 76ers have a slightly different lineup than last season.
Iverson, Kyle Korver, Andre Iguodala, Pau Gasol and Durham Porter.
The 76ers' lineup is relatively normal in terms of height, and the Raptors are a little more different, but Raptors fans are full of confidence, because head coach Sam Mitchell is the one who beats all the contenders in the best coach selection, including Wang Mingming.
Mitchell and Wang shook hands tomorrow.
Mitchell came up and took a sip of Wang Tomorrow: "The 76ers are strong and strong, the players are extremely majestic, I think the 76ers have the appearance of a champion, Coach Wang, I'm afraid this season is going to take off." β
"Can't fly, can't fly!"
Wang almost choked on a mouthful of water tomorrow, and waved his hand busily, indicating that he would not accept this milk at all: "The Raptors are the real strong team, Chris Bosh is young, but he shows the same superstar quality as Kevin Garnett, and the future is really promising and unlimited!" β
Kevin Garnett has also won every championship!
Mitchell thought to himself that the king would dare to blow tomorrow.
The two looked at each other and smiled, shook hands and greeted each other for a long time.
After a few minutes, the warm-up session is over.
With cheers and streamers in the sky, the first game of the new season between the two teams officially began.
After a few months of hiatus, the fans of both teams were already hungry and thirsty, and the ratings for the broadcast of the game in both regions were also high.
"Roar!"
Durham Porter let out a loud shout and rose into the air, his sturdy and swarthy arms overtaking Bagyani and touching the basketball first, and picking it back.
Power forward Pau Gasol received the ball and turned and handed it to Iverson.
Iverson dribbled twice with his back, played on the spot, and then advanced with the ball, raising two fingers in the air with one hand.
.......
Sam Mitchell's brows furrowed slightly, how did Iverson start organizing, it didn't look like the 76ers' offensive style last season!
Could it be a fake conductor?
There are some players in the NBA who like to pretend to be in command, usually in teams with a particularly high possession rate, such as Derrick Fisher, like Larry Hughes.
Iverson shook his hands and the ball hit the ground and passed to Andre Iguodala.
"Is it still an offensive tactic organized by the front line? It makes no difference. Mitchell breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, his eyes widened.
Iguodala faced Cappano, held the ball directly with his back, and chiseled inside.
"Bang!"
Capono was too skinny to hold up Iguodala at all.
After an offseason, Iguodala grew stronger, made an easy spurt, and turned and wiped into the inside.
Jump!
No one intercepts in the air, and both hands are violently buckled!
"Bang!"
Iguodala couldn't believe his hands, how could he complete the attack in an instant, what about the opponent's defense?
Wang Tomorrow and Randy Ayes and other assistant coaches looked at each other.
"It's not a tactic you've arranged, is it?"
Wang Mingming shook his head and said: "How can it be such a straightforward low-post turn, but Andre does work hard, I told him last season, we suffered a loss in the absence of low-post offense to enrich the system, I didn't expect him to strengthen low-post training in the off-season, now it seems that the level of low-post offense has greatly improved!" β
"It's mainly because the other party is too thin, right?"
New assistant coach Aaron McGee glanced at Capono's thin arm, shook his head and said: "I don't know what the Raptors think, Capono's three-point shooting is really good, but this defense....... It's better to use the original Joey Graham, at least he's still strong. β
"Joey Graham played an offseason and got fat, and I guess Mitchell is upset with him!"
A few new teaching assistants are scrambling to chat tomorrow, because it's only the first time to work together, so we always have to communicate more! If the head coach is a manager, he should also have more sets of close.
Chris Bosh jumper misses.
On the court, the 76ers attacked.
It was Iguodala who received the ball in the low post, but after receiving the ball, he didn't rush to attack directly, dribbled to the line, and played a block with Pau Gasol.
This is Wang's new tactic tomorrow, and after the dismantling, Pau Gasol moved near the free throw line area.
At this point, Iguodala's air cut and backrun went out to attract the attention of the Raptors players, Gasol hit the ground with a second pass, and Dareham Porter under the basket received the ball.
Durham Potter got his hands on the ball from a very deep position and hit the ground with Bagyani in the back.
"Bang!"
Bagyani snorted and cursed a barbarian! The injury of labor and management is just right!
Stiff hook hand, out of ~
Chris Bosh was overjoyed and was just about to jump up and take the rebound, when a terrifyingly long arm suddenly appeared from the back of his head, with slender fingers and a light touch in the air.
The basketball folded back and quietly fell into the frame.
"Hit the basket!"
The Philadelphia commentator roared, extremely excited: "Our new recruit Pau Gasol got the first point and the first rebound of his 76ers career, what a great sense of rebounding judgment, we are inside, and now we have height!" β
Sam Mitchell's face changed, and there was a little more jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Wang Mingming.
Wang Mingming's set of tactics is too slippery, first using the strong Iguodala to eat the Raptors' defensive weaknesses, Jason Cappano, and then the Raptors' players are afraid to attract defensive attention outward, and at the same time, Gasol helps Dyham Porter to attack, purely with the strength of the body to crush, the Raptors' interior defense is empty, and they lose the frontcourt rebounds at once.
The opposition had not yet used Allen Iverson to take a 4-0 lead.
Obviously, the other party made a more detailed arrangement before the game and came prepared.......
"Huh?"
Wang Ming pointed to the field, "This is not my tactical arrangement, is this?" β
