Chapter 137: Pierce's Secret
Between one offense and one defense, Zhang Feng's tactical strategy with McGee as the core proved to be effective, DeRozan and Nick Young, who were originally only going to try, began to admire in their hearts, originally they thought Zhang Feng was just a rookie who was a little better, but now they found that Zhang Feng's understanding of the game is like playing in the NBA for more than ten years.
In basketball, there is no absolute advantage, and the average height is far higher than LAUNFD, but if MHP has to compete with LAUNFD for speed, then their height will become a disadvantage; If MHP learns from Tian Ji and competes with LAUNFD for space control on the field, then their height can be converted into an advantage.
At this time, even the audience at the scene could see that the tactics discussed by the MHP team during the timeout were successful, so as the master of point guards, Paul called a timeout the moment McGee hit a three-point shot.
"Are there any shortcomings in our offensive and defensive strategy?" Nick Young looked at Zhang Feng worriedly, he was afraid that Paul would come up with a targeted tactic after this timeout, and he was even more afraid that Zhang Feng would not have a way to deal with it.
Zhang Feng naturally understood what Nick Yang said, he held his chin and thought about it, and said: "There is no perfect tactic, because the core point of the tactic is people, and the Zen master can play a triangle offense with the Bulls and the Lakers, but he can't do this when he gets to the Knicks." Our tactical core is McGee, and if they want to crack it, they will definitely go around the front defense to block McGee's path."
Zhang Feng stopped at this point, and the four of Nick Yang didn't know why, so they all looked at him directly.
"It's very simple, they prevent McGee from catching the ball, we break through to the inside, they prevent McGee from passing, McGee will shoot" Zhang Feng felt that he had quoted the example of the Zen master's triangle tactics in vain, and they didn't understand the reason for dealing with specific problems.
"And what about their defense McGee shots?" Nick Young asked weakly.
Zhang Feng gave him a blank look, "Do you think any of them can cover McGee's shot at the three-point line?" ”。
Nick Young and McGee nodded at the same time, one was puzzled, and the other thought that Zhang Feng was right and praised himself.
Back on the court at the end of the timeout, Paul dribbled to a 45-degree angle on the right side and stopped to dribble, and he saw Harden pass the ball to the bottom corner. Harden, as a scoring guard, faced power forward Randle, naturally wanted to use his speed advantage to disrupt Randle's rhythm, but fortunately, Randle has been playing with the Lakers for three years, and his three years of NBA experience have taught him a lot of skills for big men to defend small men.
Randle used a block-and-go strategy so that he wouldn't be affected by Harden's rhythm, who either broke into the box to face McGee or broke through to a pull-up jumper or pass.
Randle's little abacus played beautifully, but Harden was not jealous, he broke through a few steps and chose to step back, Randle hurriedly stopped and turned to follow, but unfortunately Harden's ball had been thrown.
Although the ball went in, Randle didn't panic at all, this kind of shooting that took a lot of effort to hit is allowed, as long as it is not easily broken to the basket, and at the end it is necessary for teammates to wipe their butts.
Switching offense, Zhang Feng dribbled while thinking about what tactics Paul had formulated during the pause, but unfortunately he couldn't think of a single shot by Harden alone, so he could only put it aside.
It's still the same old step, McGee does the axis, and it seems that Paul didn't command his teammates to stop McGee. Seeing this, DeRozan and Nick Young used their previous tricks again, and they ran towards McGee from different directions.
At this moment, Zhang Feng is trying to find a way to get rid of Paul's defense, and seeing that Bagley and Harden did not follow the two teammates, he knows that trouble is coming, and this situation is no longer in the situation he preset before, and he doesn't know how Nick Young will deal with it.
"Well, I've learned your way, just mind the people in front of me," Paul began to trash talk.
"You're a good one, but it's a pity I can see it in one round"
"If your teammates are a little bit better, they're going to shoot mid-range, but it doesn't look like they do, and they might push the inside."
At this time, Nick Young, who was holding the ball, did think about attacking the interior, after all, there was only one Harrell defense on the inside, and some people said that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting percentage.
It's a pity that Nick Young is not a man who plays cards according to the routine, he got the ball and hesitated for a second and then directly pulled out three points, and under the surprised gaze of Paul and Zhang Feng, the ball really went in.
"Shit" Paul pretended to fail, self-made and boring, and left Zhang Feng quickly so as not to be sprayed trash talk.
said a lot, made a lot of mistakes, as soon as Paul's trash talk was sprayed, Zhang Feng knew his routine, and he also understood why Harden chose to go heads-up just now, the reason was very simple, but Zhang Feng was stunned by tactics and didn't find this simple fact.
Harden, as a superstar, often faces close defense, pinch-and-shoot defense, two-person defense, and even three-person defense in the NBA.
So obviously, the offensive strategy specified by Paul when he was suspended was the superstar single, and the defensive strategy was Zhang Feng's routine, which was learned and sold now, and the effect was not bad, if it weren't for Nick Young's routine, he would really be stunned by MHP.
Harden and Paul began to take turns playing singles, and this discussion was fruitful under Zhang's zone defense strategy, and LAUNFD scored eight points in a row.
On the MHP side, McGee is still the axis, and the offensive efficiency is also very high, and for a while, neither team can prevent anyone, and they are crazy about cutting points, so they end the first half of the game under mutual explosion.
The Drew League originally didn't have much tactics, Zhang Feng and Paul competed with each other, and finally returned to the core of the streetball game - whoever is better in singles wins. Although this is not what Zhang Feng wants to see, it is what the audience wants to see.
Whether it was Paul's subtle passing, Harden's dazzling passes, or Bagley's amazing act of eating DeRozan alone as a high school student, they all received crazy applause from the audience. Of course, Zhang Feng's fancy dunk, Nick Young's exaggerated celebrations, and McGee's dribble break also won cheers for MHP.
"Good play, boys" Pierce took advantage of the half-time pause to come to Zhang Feng's side again.
"What, is the leather team going to bring the secret to victory?" Nick Young was wiping the sweat from his face with a towel, but he didn't forget to joke.
"You kid guessed right, now I'm going to tell you how these veterans deal with them as a veteran," Pierce pretended to be mysterious.
Nick Young was unhappy when he said this, "That's me?" I'm not a veteran, I'm in my prime now."
Nick Young is in his 10th year in the league, and 10 years is the prime of an NBA player, but he is the oldest in the MHP team as a rookie in 2007.
"What? Don't you want to hear it?" Pierce was about to leave.
