Chapter 42 Attack on Unpreparedness
Iverson looked at his hands, went around the inside, and could get assists by splitting the ball outside, which seemed to be good.
He disagrees with Wang's tactics tomorrow, but against the Timberwolves, this is indeed a very good choice, at least it will not give Kevin Garnett much of a chance to play defensively.
"Coincidentally, right?"
Devin Casey didn't think shooting threes was a good option, and if he didn't feel good, the team could easily get into trouble, and he went on the court to give instructions and hope that the Timberwolves players would continue to play steadily while protecting the rebound.
Ricky Davis broke through to Mike James, and Iverson almost had the ball cut off under a pressing defense.
It was then handed over to Garnett, who was in the low post.
"Garnett is the biggest bug on the field!" Moses Malone said with admiration, "If Garnett had been in our time, he would still have achieved something, and that kind of balanced player is the cornerstone that every team wants to get." ”
Harrington couldn't guard Garnett, and Wang also made some small details on the interior during the timeout tomorrow, such as letting Hellam Porter defend Garnett alone.
Durham Porter is a blue-collar interior line with tall and long arms, but his defensive awareness is actually average, and last season he and Chris Webber formed the bottom combination of the league's penalty area defense, the statistics are good, but the role on the court is very average. But relative to Harrington, at least in terms of height, Garnett is not too disadvantaged.
Garnett's buttocks were pouted, his arms were held high, and his body was streamlined and gracefully curved.
If Bowler is on the verge of a big enemy, will it be a turnaround jumper?
At this point, Harrington decisively came over to trap Garnett, leaving only the area of the baseline for Garnett to operate.
Garnett dribbled and spun around, rolled over and jumped up and stuffed the ball straight into Mark under the basket.
As a result, Mark didn't catch it steadily, and after adjusting, he grabbed the basketball and wanted to dunk.
A big black hand like a briquette was firmly pressed against the basketball!
"Smack!"
Daleham Porter blocked the basket, and Mark's movements were too straightforward to block without prejudication.
The basketball landed and was grabbed by Iguodala, who shrank in.
Iguodala dribbled the ball two steps and passed it laterally to Allen Iverson, who was in the point guard position at the time, who continued to push forward quickly, and after halftime, found that there were no teammates in front of the court, so he slowed down and waited for the 76ers to cross the halfcourt.
The two sides continued to engage in positional fighting.
"Vote directly!" Wang Mingming thought to himself, but after standing up, he still applauded Iverson's steadiness, walked to the sidelines, and encouraged loudly: "Keep attacking, stay focused!" ”
In the face of the 76ers, the Timberwolves have not laid out a perfect three-point line defense tactic at all, and all the homework they have done before is how to limit Allen Iverson's play, after all, if the 76ers want to win now, it must be Allen Iverson who breaks out.
No one expected Wang to encourage his teammates to still score three points tomorrow.
This, very much in line with the tastes of several shooters, Harrington and Kyle Korver got the holy decree and shot exceptionally happily, and this timeout began, the two of them took the ball from beyond the three-point line and made 5 shots, hitting 2 of them!
Plus Iguodala's 1 three-point shot.
The 76ers immediately caught up with the score, 11-11, tied with the Timberwolves, and forced Devin Casey to call a timeout.
The audience applauded thunderously, and the fans didn't understand how the 76ers tied it, and it looked like a sudden revival of the feel, and the outside line was bombarded.
This is not the style of the previous 76ers, but not to mention, this style is quite likable, and the difference is erased in the blink of an eye.
After the game, the players and assistant coaches look at Wang tomorrow differently, this kind of immediate adjustment, but the level that the top NBA coaches can do!
"Guys, you're doing a great job!"
Wang tomorrow took out the tactical board, and everyone pricked up their ears.
"Next, let's talk about defense. On how to pack at the right time, disrupt the ball carrier's rhythm, and cut off the inside and outside links......"
......
Casey asked the Timberwolves players to pay attention to defending the outside threes.
But long-standing habits aren't easy to change, especially when Mike James keeps an eye on Kyle Korver, which is out of place.
Unless Mike James is used to defend Allen Iverson, such a change is tantamount to giving Iverson points.
Thinking about it this way, isn't the 76ers lineup inexplicable?
"Awesome!"
Devin Casey glanced at Wang Tomorrow on the other side, and the young man was really as Andy said, very tight.
He frowned, could he only replace Mike first?
"What should I do?"
On the court, Garnett was trapped, and after the ball, the 76ers' rotation was smart and fast, causing a lot of trouble for the Timberwolves, and the shooting percentage dropped.
In November, the Timberwolves' record was okay, reversing last year's decline, and even ranked in the top eight in the West for a time.
But heading into December, the Timberwolves aren't in great shape.
In this game with the 76ers, it can be seen that after being defended by the 76ers in two waves of offense in a row, the Timberwolves players did not react much on the court, and it can even be said that they were a little indifferent.
At the 8-minute mark, Wang rotated tomorrow.
Andre Iguodala and Al Harrington were replaced with Paul Millsap and Louis Williams.
"The core of the two-guard lineup is speed, I'm asking you to push up the pace, Luis and Kyle, you two can do cross-screens on the weak side at the same time, just like it was in the summer league, Paul Millsap will be your best assistant to cover on the wings......."
In fact, according to Wang Mingming's wishes, he was ready to replace Iverson, but he had just become an interim head coach, and the substitution confidence was not very strong, so Iverson stayed on the field and played a short double-guard lineup.
This lineup, lacking in defense, wins in speed.
The reason why Louis Williams was replaced so early is precisely because today's 5% of the form has improved to Louis Williams, and Louis Williams' offensive ability rating has exceeded 80 and reached the S level.
On the bench, there was some joy and some sadness.
From the dragon gong, when Wang Mingming becomes the head coach, some young players who are good friends with Wang Mingming will definitely get more opportunities, which is a normal idea.
But in fact, Wang Mingming really maintains the basic professional ethics of a head coach, he is rated according to his condition and ability, and whether he is suitable for this game and whether he can help the team in this game, so as to determine the order and time of the players.
Just like Louis Williams, the microwave exploded, and after he got on the court, he hit a three-point jumper to stretch the score to five points for the 76ers.
At this point, the first quarter ended with the 76ers leading the Timberwolves 27-22.
