Chapter 520: Continue to change formations

A big defeat at home was clearly frustrating for the Bobcats, especially Allen, who thought he should be able to defend against James, but the latter quickly shattered his optimism. He has been silent during training the next day, and Chang Wei has no choice, and now Allen has not reached the peak of his career, in fact, even if he reaches his peak, James is not something he can prevent if he wants to, and it is too normal to be defeated in the third game.

After going through the footage of the first three games over and over again, Jackson finally came up with a relatively reliable solution, which was to use Mark Hill to defend James in the high post. Allen tried hard to keep James away from the basket, but his height disadvantage was irreparable, and it was better to let the equally tough but taller Mark Hill defend.

For Jackson's arrangement, Chang Wei almost wanted to give him 32 likes, in fact, this is a very common way to defend James in later generations. The big high post delay didn't allow James to easily rely on his strength to burst into the box, and others cut off James' passing lanes, forcing him to shoot himself without a height advantage. What's more, the close defense of the big man will also greatly drain James's physical strength, causing him to have to rest more time on the bench.

As for whether it can be effective now, Chang Wei is not sure, because James showed a top-level mid-range pitcher in the last game. But it's worth trying anyway, but it requires Milicic to take on more responsibility on the inside. In case he can't bear it on the inside, not only will he be blown up by O'Neill and Gooden, but it will also make Mark Hill tired.

In this way, there is no need for Allen to continue to start, and Ariza will have to go into the interior more to help Milicic defend, not to mention whether the effect is good or not, but it can always relieve some of the pressure on Milicic, which is also the right thing.

When Jackson announced the starting lineup for the next game, Allen silently lowered his head, although Jackson did not say that the loss in the last game was his problem, but in his opinion it was his own defensive inadequacy. Jackson naturally felt the negative energy overflowing from Aaron's body, and he nodded at Chang Weinu, signaling him to go and appease Aaron after the training was over.

Chang Wei glared at him, but he didn't say anything, as the chief teaching assistant, this was barely his scope of work. So after the training was over, Chang Wei directly called Alun, who was about to go back to the locker room to take a shower and leave, hoping to talk to him.

Aaron looked a little surprised, and the result of his surprise was that he became even more silent, and when he came to the sideline and sat down, he didn't say a word like a stuffy gourd. Chang Wei smiled and said sincerely: "Tony, don't take this matter so seriously, it's not your fault that you lost the last game, it's just that Damon wants to see if the new method can better limit LeBron." ”

"But, isn't it because I didn't play well in the last game?" Aaron whispered.

Uh, it seems like you have a point...... Chang Wei hurriedly shook his head, lest he be taken into the pit by this guy. He pondered for a moment and said to Allen: "Actually, you were very successful in defending James in the second game, but now that James has played at a higher level, we want to try to put Jason against him, so that Ariza will come on and increase the firepower." ”

"Tony, you have to believe in yourself and I believe you can be the best defender in the league, but you still need to accumulate more experience and do more targeted training. It's a tactical arrangement for you to continue to play as a substitute, not for you. If you still feel uncomfortable, then work harder in training, you know my vision, I can't be wrong about people. ”

After saying that, Chang Wei left without any delay, this kind of thing actually doesn't play a big role, and he still has to let Alun figure it out by himself. However, Chang Wei is very confident in Aaron, this guy should be able to come out of it soon.

It's not Allen's mentality that matters at the moment, it's the fourth game of the series, and if the Bobcats continue to lose, they can basically call the end of the season after falling behind 3-1. That's why Jackson can't wait to choose to change the formation again, otherwise he will have no chance to change the formation, and this ball is not much worse if it is not a battle of life and death.

The Bobcats didn't attract the attention of experts when they announced their starting lineup before the game, after all, it was just Ariza who returned to the starting lineup, and it was normal for Allen to be squeezed back to the bench because he didn't contribute enough on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in the last game. Mike Brown didn't take this change seriously, and in his opinion, as long as James played at a normal level, the team could win the game.

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers got the first wave of offensive possession, but when Gibson handed the ball to James, it was not Ariza who stood in front of the latter, but Mark Hill, who was supposed to be in the interior position. Mike Brown was taken by surprise by the situation, as it wasn't the first time the two men had spoken to each other in the previous game, but it was the first time Mark Hill had defended in the high post.

James tried to play with his back to the single, but Mark Hill was a black, hard interior player who didn't move at his feet. James couldn't help it, and was ready to dribble and turn around, wanting to break through Mark Hill's defense with the advantage of speed. However, since switching to the Bobcats, Mark Hill has done a lot of inside foot training, and his own movement speed is not slow, although he did not keep up with James's first step, but soon he also turned and clinged to James's side, not giving him room to shoot.

Jackson was secretly proud, and it seemed that Mark Hill was right to defend James. However, he underestimated James' strength, and despite Marc Hill's constant physical contact with him, he steadied his center of gravity and seized the opportunity to pass the ball to O'Neal with a big hook and a small hook hand on Ariza's head to send the ball to the basket. Mark Hill, who was following James, was a little embarrassed, originally he thought James would choose to shoot by himself.

However, this was only the first round of the game, and apart from not cutting off James' passing lanes, Mark Hill was impeccable defensively, not lagging behind in height, weight or movement speed. Jackson intends to see the effect again, and he very much hopes that Mark Hill will be able to limit James, so that the Bobcats' chances of winning will be greatly increased. Of course, if this change of formation doesn't work, Jackson doesn't know how to limit James.
