Chapter Ninety-Five: What Does He Want to Do?
On the commentary bench, Jordan studied how to instill the idea of penalty tyrant in Ding Mo'an, no, when it was a superstar's style of play, Kansas also began to attack the Tigers on the field. Previously, the Tigers' 2-3 joint defense and Ding Mo'an and Rose's blocking of the outside line made the Kansas interior completely lose the opportunity to hit the Tigers' soft underbelly, unable to form a one-on-one opportunity with the Tigers' interior, and could only stare dryly.
But in the first 10 minutes of the second half, the bench was able to gouge through the Tigers' interior line, which was a big inspiration for the Kansas coach. As we all know, the 2-3 joint defense is not afraid that you don't play inside, but afraid that you are floating on the outside to shoot. In the Kansas starting lineup, except for two interior players, the remaining three have the ability to shoot or three-pointers.
However, the Kansas head coach did not dare to let Danar, who was opposite Ding Moan. Jackson goes to shoot. Judging from the experience of his previous three outside players who were beaten by Ding Mo'an's hat, Danar. It's better for Jackson to be in charge of rebounding and rushing. The head coach of Kansas was also frightened by Ding Mo'an's ability to help defend against the sky.
If Ding Mo'an had scored a few more goals, Kansas would not have to play this game, and the confidence that the team had built up with great difficulty would collapse again. So the Kansas head coach made a plan on how to crack the Tigers' 2-3 defense at halftime, pulling two inside lines to the free throw line, drawing out the opposing players, and then letting Danar. Jackson is ready to rush for rebounds. MoneyMoss and Brandon. Rush is firing from outside the three-point line and from a distance, and whether he can win or not depends on the blindness of these two men. Handful. Throw it indiscriminately.
The effect of this tactical arrangement in Kansas was soon apparent. When Mario. When MoneyMos dribbled beyond the three-point line, he was in contact with Joey. Dorsey and Sean close-fitting. Meat. Fighting the two Kansas inside lines, they suddenly pulled to the free throw line, allowing Joey to stay on the inside. Dorsey and Sean are at a loss.
Although it was not clear what Kansas was going to do, Kansas had two inside lines to the free throw line and could not help but follow. And when Joey. When Dorsey and Sean followed, Douglas, who participated in the defense, was also the same as his own interior at the moment, and he also had to stick to Brandon, who had three-point ability. Rush, all of a sudden, the Tigers' inside line was empty.
At this time, Mario who was slowly dribbling outside the three-point line. Chanmos moved. Speed up the frequency of dribbling, instantly pull horizontally and Rose half a step away, hold the ball and shoot outside the three-point line. Mario. Chanmos suddenly dribbled away and shot consistently, causing Rose to not keep up with his rhythm, and even if Rose chased after him in the end, he couldn't stop Mario. Chanmos throws the ball.
Swish!
The basketball falls into the basket!
Hit a three-pointer, Mario. Chanmos held up three fingers and shook them. And Kansas also relied on this ball to pull the score to within ten points, and the pressure came to the Tigers' side again.
Rose was a little annoyed by being scored by an opponent for a three-pointer, but fortunately, the Tigers were still the leading side, so Rose did not rush to the front court. At the same time, Ding Mo'an, who was not far away, also quickly slipped to the bottom line, but the defense of Kansas in this round has also changed, it is no longer the first half of the defense, it is the 2-3 joint defense that the Tigers are now using!
What does he want to do?
Seeing Kansas put on a 2-3 defensive posture on the field, Calipari couldn't sit still and glanced at the Kansas head coach. The Kansas head coach also noticed Calipari's shocked eyes, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart: Just allow you to use 2-3 joint defense to limit our interior line, and I won't use it to limit your baby backcourt combination?
The 2-3 joint defense has two uses, one is like the Tigers, which is specially used to limit the opponent's interior when the interior is weak, and the other is to block the position within the paint area and force the opponent to shoot, just like Kansas today. Of course, if the Tigers shoot well, this tactic is equivalent to sending the neck to the Tigers and looking for death.
But when did the Tigers shoot better?
How could Calypari not know the usual methods of his own players, and the only more reliable projections for the Tigers now are Douglas, who just shot three points, and Ding Moan, who can only shoot in the open position, as for Rose, this guy doesn't mention it, and when it comes to it, Calypari is afraid that he can't control himself.
And as a whole season of Tigers' tactics, 2-3 combined defense, Calipari is well aware of the characteristics of this tactic. So when Kansas went on a 2-3 run, Calipari knew it was going to be a tough one. Although Ding Mo'an also has the ability to shoot in the middle and is extremely accurate, when the paint area is full of Kansas players, the blocking and dismantling cover arranged for Ding Mo'an to run out of the vacant space is also equivalent to a half-useless state.
Because these blocks, disemplacements, and covers, need space!
Without space, the effect of blocking and covering will be greatly weakened, and the impact on shooting is extremely great, especially for pitchers like Ding Mo'an who need teammates to make high-quality blocking and dismantling covers. And on the field, Ding Mo'an also felt that something was wrong. Previously, as long as Ding Mo'an threw off the Kansas players who were close to the defense behind him, he could immediately get his teammates to cover, block and shoot.
But with the 2-3 joint defense taking effect, after the space on the field was greatly compressed, although the Tigers players tried hard to block and cover for Ding Mo'an, the quality could not be compared with before. So when Ding Mo'an received a pass from Rose, as soon as he jumped out of his hand, the Kansas player stretched out his arm to cover Ding Mo'an from the loose air.
This abrupt interference still affected Ding Mo'an, after all, he is a human, not a god. was disturbed, and Ding Mo'an's strength was still a little less when he shot, so when the ball was thrown, Ding Mo'an secretly said that it was not good. As expected, as the basketball slammed into the basket, it was held by the Kansas insider.
The head coach of Kansas also laughed happily when he saw this scene, although the Kansas sticker defense failed to prevent Ding Mo'an, but as long as his players stretched out their hands from time to time, or slightly expanded the defensive area, it is equivalent to the only two shooting points of the Tigers, directly abolishing one, and then it will be up to you Tigers to crack my 2-3 joint defense next.
The Kansas head coach is very proud, unless Ding Moan can not be affected by these and throw the ball in, then Kansas will also admit it, otherwise Kansas will be the biggest winner tonight. And the Tigers fans at the Alamo Dome couldn't help but be a little worried when they saw Ding Mo striking iron, as if they smelled danger.
If other players didn't score, maybe it wouldn't be like this, but this person has always been Ding Mo'an, who has always had a very high shooting percentage, which is unusual. And Tigers fans also saw that their home team's blocking and covering area was one-third less than before, which led to Ding Mo'an being affected by Kansas players at the moment of his shot.
