Chapter 21 The base is not offensive, and the intellectual player
Although Hu Qingniu is still only an offensive assistant coach, the team management has realized that if the team wants to coax Jordan, it must ensure the record, and if it wants to ensure the record, it must follow Hu Qingniu's tactical intentions.
In the following days, although Doug was still the head coach, Hu Qingniu's voice was no less than him, and Hu Qingniu's opinion was the main one at the critical moment of the game.
On December 20, the Wizards hosted the incoming Nets.
The boss of the Nets is pure point guard Jason Kidd, and Kidd is a player who obviously plays a far greater role than stats.
In the summer of 2001, Kidd and Marbury swapped clubs and joined the Nets. In the just-concluded 00-01 season, Marbury's Nets only had a 26-56 record, and the team missed the playoffs for three consecutive years.
In the '01-02 season, Kidd's first year with the Nets, he swore in the famous phrase of his career: "I'm going to make a 360-degree turn for the team." "Isn't the 360-degree turn back to the original direction, although the sense of direction is not too good, but the words can't be explained.
The following season, the team won an astonishing 52-30 in team history, won 26 more games than the previous year, and ranked first in the East in the regular season, Kidd averaged 14.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, 9.9 assists, and 2.1 steals per game, and was named to both the All-NBA First Team and the All-Defensive Team, and the MVP selection was second only to Duncan.
Kidd's arrival completely activated the Nets' lineup, and he formed the popular Nets trident with Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson.
In the first round of the playoffs, the Nets defeated the Pacers led by Reggie Miller and O'Neal Jr. 3-2; In the second round, the Nets defeated Byron Davis' Hornets 4-1; In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Nets eliminated the Celtics with twin stars Antoine Walker and Pierce 4-2. went all the way to the finals, and finally lost 0-4 to the Lakers led by O'Neal and Kobe.
Although Kidd failed to win the championship that year, if you look back at the results of Kidd and the Nets that season, it is enough to shock!
And this is also the worst time Marbury has been hacked, fans and media have learned through Kidd that data is not everything, you need to watch the game through your own eyes to know who is the better player on the court.
This game is also a game that Hu Qingniu is worried about, Kidd is a player with a high IQ on the court, and he is also the top group of people in history, otherwise in the star-studded 08 US men's basketball dream team, Coach K would not have handed over the metronome to the 36-year-old Kidd.
Dealing with such an intellectual player whose ability to read on the court can be called terrifying, Hu Qingniu's tactics may be greatly reduced. If this extreme situation really happens, it depends on whose on-field adjustment and player execution are stronger, after all, tactics are dead, and it is impossible to keep competing, and people are alive, and the adjustment that makes the opponent insoluble is the deadliest tactic.
In the first half, the Wizards directly used the figure 8 tactic, although the Nets had nothing to do on the defensive end. But on the offensive end, the Nets' smooth offensive cooperation also made the Wizards quite helpless.
The two teams played offensive basketball, chasing three-pointers, volleyball caps, and flying dunks. At halftime, the Wizards led the Nets by just two points, 60:58.
Kidd scored zero points but had 11 assists. A player who only scored zero points, but still the focus of the opposing team's defense. In the league now, Nash is not Nash in two years, and Kidd is the only player who can attract a lot of defensive pressure without having to shoot.
The rest of the Nets' players, Jefferson was in the limelight at this time, with 15 points and 6 boards. Jumping man Kenyon Martin almost became Shaun Camp II under Kidd, and the Wizards' starting big was Jeffries, who was completely reached by the colander, and Kenyon Martin had 16 points and 8 rebounds in the half, almost scoring the statistics of the previous full court.
On the Wizards' side, the old hooligan Jordan is still unstoppable, and Corey Kidders, who faced him throughout the game, was beaten to the point of doubt. But Jordan remembered Hu Qingniu's instructions and couldn't just take care of his own shots, he focused more on defense and combing offense throughout the first half, hitting 8 of 9 shots, 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
Among the remaining players, Tyronn Lue faced Kidd, who was two or three sizes bigger and 6-foot-4 inches, and did not score 0 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist. Stackhouse ate Jordan's most cakes, mostly with 18 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on open jump shots. Jeffries didn't disgrace Hu on the offensive end, and he was the most flexible guy in the figure 8 game, able to cut in and drop from the three-point line to shoot threes. 14 points and 3 boards, which is also considered a passing grade.

At halftime, Hu Qingniu emphasized the team's inner frame protection and the outside delay. In the first half, Tyronn Lue was squeezed by Kidd, causing pressure on his interior teammates to protect the rim and lose sight of the other.
The inner frame has always been directly related to the delay on the outside, even if it is the peak Howard, there is no outstanding forward delay on the outside, I am afraid that the opponent will be fouled six times at halftime.
On the other hand, the defense on the outside has a lot to do with whether there are teammates on the inside who can help defend. The defensive efficiency of the Green Army in '08 was the best in history, and the defense of Ray Allen and Pierce was also among the best in the league, but before that, both of them had a bad defensive evaluation, and Pierce was even considered a defensive colander. But after meeting Garnett, the defense seemed to become a matter of course.
Something similar to "Little Card" Leonard, who has been a DPO for two consecutive terms, has been significantly affected by the lack of Duncan's defensive efficiency. After all, there is Duncan as a defensive gate under the basket, and the opponent will reduce the attempt to break through as long as he is not stupid, and the opponent only has the option of shooting, of course, the defensive grasp has increased.
Tyronn Lue is down, Larry Hughes is on Hughes, at least in terms of size, compared to Kidd, although the defense is not good. But Hu's strategy is to stick to a one-on-one defense against Kidd and cut him off from the rest of his teammates. This is consistent with the strategy of defending LeBron James that everyone summarized 10 years later, and they are both offensive engines, and they have many similarities.
Inside, Kwame Brown focuses on grabbing rebounds and helping to defend the opposing team's forward, and Jordan defends Jefferson, so he must suppress the opponent's main offensive arrow with more outstanding physical talent.
As for Kenyon Martin, he can only let it go, Jeffries is a rookie year after all, and the power gap with Martin is too big. Hu Qingniu has no other better choice, Martin does not have the ability to attack independently after all, it is all about eating cakes, and defending Kidd at the source is the right way.
As soon as the second half came up, the Nets felt the suffocating defensive pressure, and it was harder to get out every time. Kidd couldn't break into the box at will, and the offensive basketball came to an abrupt halt.
However, the Nets didn't sit down at halftime, and the Nets formulated a policy of putting Jordan and rotating to defend the figure 8 running tactics. Kenyon Martin's footwork was fast enough that it caused considerable trouble for the figure 8 tactic, and the Wizards' offense came to a standstill.
At the end of the third quarter, the Wizards 78:75 Nets, both teams did not score much in the third quarter, and the score was still very anxious.
