Chapter 663: Five Small Adjustments

"Hoop Sports, ESPN and other media have helped summarize the two ways to beat us, Joe, what do you think?"

Returning to Charlotte's break, Joe received a call from Rick Bonier, a sports reporter for the Charlotte Observer.

This is a telephone interview, in the face of such a question, Qiao Hai smiled and quickly gave the answer: "Let's talk about the first plan first, attacking our inner line, this plan is relatively reliable, because there are many teams with outstanding big men." ”

"But there is always a two-sided side to everything, they are big men, and if they are in good form, they will indeed break down our defence, but if they are in average form, they will also be dragged by our five-man squad until they collapse."

"So, the big man restrains us, in fact, it's all relative."

"The second plan, the opening defensive expansion and shooting, this is indeed a bit of a sore foot for us, because we don't have many breakthrough players, there is only one Chris at the top, but there is one Chris, which is enough, playing the Bulls, we lead by 3 points in the first quarter, which is a proof."

"Rotating the lineup against the five small, and then infinite change of defense, sounds like a good way to deal with it, but the problem is, you have to have a five-small team configuration, throughout this league, the team that can discharge the five-small lineup must also ensure a certain combat effectiveness, only a handful."

“……”

Qiao Hai didn't think that after the media's summary, the lynx would be targeted and restrained, and then hit the wall.

Of course, at the same time, Qiao Hai also said: "In fact, our passing attack and the ultimate five small are not simply summarizing what methods or plans are there to deal with us, there are many ways to deal with us, but at the same time, we also have ways to counter restraint and react right." ”

……

On Dec. 7, the Bobcats faced the Nets.

Because they failed to get Vince Carter like in the history of their previous lives, the strength of this Nets is also far from that of their previous lives.

Jason Kidd is gradually surpassed by the times, and his kind of point guards who shoot poorly are becoming less and less popular.

From the top few seasons of the league, the role has become smaller and smaller.

Lawrence Frank's life is getting worse and worse, but fortunately, rookie Nunard Kostic is still performing well, which helps Lawrence Frank to a certain extent.

As of now, the Nets are still in the ranks of the playoffs, and Lawrence Frank's position as coach is still relatively solid.

And in this game, Qiao Hai still explained why he is a teacher and Lawrence Frank is an apprentice.

In the opening game, the Bobcats once again made the Nets feel the horror of the Bobcats in the first quarter, opening with a wave of 10:2, forcing out Lawrence Frank's timeout, and then another wave of 20:15 in the second half of the quarter.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats led by as many as 13 points at 30-17.

In the second quarter, after the five small debuts, the Nets did not have much to do, and the point difference continued to be widened, such a situation also proved that what Qiao Hai said in an interview with the "Charlotte Observer" was correct.

It's true that not all teams can put out the same five-man lineup against the Bobcats, and the Nets in this game obviously can't.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Nets 114-97 to win the victory, and the Bobcats' winning streak extended to the fourth game.

……

After playing the Nets, the Bobcats faced the 76ers away.

In this game, the Bobcats still made a strong effort in the first quarter, and after taking an 8-point lead, the second quarter was five small, and the 76ers were also unable to arrange a lineup that could deal with the five small.

After being washed away like this, the point difference quickly stretched to double digits.

At halftime, the Bobcats led by 19 points, and the suspense of the game was directly over.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the 76ers 115-99 and won again, winning five in a row!

……

On December 10, the Bobcats returned to their home court and faced the Raptors again.

In this game, the Bobcats finally met their opponents, and at the beginning, the Raptors used their two strong points to constantly attack the Bobcats' defense, and achieved certain results.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats did not take the lead, but fell behind.

In the second quarter, when the Bobcats played a five-small lineup, the Raptors also lined up a five-small lineup, point guard Mike James, scoring guard Vince Carter, small forward Morris Pietson, power forward Joey Graham and center Carmelo Anthony.

The two teams stiffened their way to a slight edge and led by three points at halftime.

But in the second half, Vince Carter and Anthony continued to exert their strength and directly penetrated the Bobcats' defense, and Mike James also had a convulsion and scored three points in a row.

At the end of the game, the Bobcats ended up losing 103-111, and they eventually lost to the Raptors and Twin Stars.

Of course, the failure of the five-small squad to gain an advantage is also one of the main reasons.

After losing this game, Bobcats' winning streak came to an end, but it was only Bobcats' second defeat of the season, and Bobcats' form was still visible to the naked eye.

However, this loss still brought some wake-up call for Qiao Hai, and if the Bobcats want to go more smoothly, Qiao Hai must increase the Bobcats' versatility on both offensive and defensive ends, as he has done with the Rockets and Grizzlies in the past few seasons.

……

So, after losing to the Raptors, the Bobcats returned to their home court and faced the Nuggets.

This season, the Nuggets have maintained the competitive roster of the past few seasons, without reinforcements or sending away key players from the team, relying on further outbursts from Daco Milicic and Ruhr Deng, the Nuggets are currently on the edge of the Western Conference playoffs.

The Nuggets are very strong, and they are also strong inside, in addition to Milicic, the starting center is Marcus Camby, and there is also a Nene Hilario off the bench.

In this game, the Nuggets used the method of constantly attacking the interior to strive for a victory.

But Joe Hay also made a corresponding change, playing a regular lineup in the first quarter, using Kendrick Perkins to top the Nuggets' two centers, and Josh Smith to defend Milicic.

After a full quarter, the Bobcats took the lead, but by a small margin of 2 points.

In the rotation lineup in the second quarter, Qiao Hai surprisingly did not make the five-small lineup, and he continued to line up a regular lineup, with Chuck Hayes Garrieve Lafrentz on the inside, and Hayes against Milicic.

Regular lineup vs. regular lineup, Bobcat won another three points, and at halftime, Bobcats' lead stretched to 5 points.

In the second half, Qiao Hai changed back to the main lineup, continuing the regular lineup against the regular lineup, and after three quarters, the difference widened to 7 points.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, Qiao Hai continued to use the regular lineup against the regular lineup, and after half a quarter, the Nuggets' Luer Deng broke out, and the difference was narrowed to about 4 points.

At this time, Qiao Hai suddenly changed to a five-small lineup, and everyone was surprised and surprised.

But at the last moment, the appearance of the five small lineups was very good, and the Bobcats directly played a wave of 11:4, and a wave ended the game.
