Chapter 66: Fighting Fast (I)
The Nuggets changed their lineup to one big and four small, with Faried replacing Big McGee as center, Gallinari and Iguodala still as the forwards, and Brewer still on the court, but with Andre. Miller replaces Tylawson.
This lineup is said to be one big and four small, but Faried is really not 'big' enough, he has good physical fitness, and he is strong enough to rush for rebounds, but he is not a good frame protector. Such a lineup, with extremely fast movement, infinite defensive changes on the defensive end, and enough pressure, and Miller Sr.'s height makes up for Tylawson's shortcomings. The offensive end is even more energetic, even if the basket is not stable enough, but Faried, Gallinari and Iguodala all have a strong ability to rush and grab rebounds, and it is obvious to play tactics such as "shooting" and "grabbing".
And so it was, after the Nuggets rotated again, even though the first quarter came to an end, the Nuggets were a little more energetic. Reflected in the offensive end, the offensive end has a lot of impact on the Magic's interior, but fortunately, Hickson's rebounding ability is good, and with the protection of the old AK, the rebounds were not blown up.
However, the Magic's offense encountered some problems, the Nuggets were more resolute in their bag against Harden, the defensive rotation was extremely fast, and even intentionally or unintentionally put Turner's three-pointers.
In this case, Turner was also uncompetitive, and continued to play iron, and by the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets moved back some points difference, and the score was fixed at 31:23.
During the intermission, Chen An discussed with the coaching staff first, and then made lineup changes, Harden went to rest, Lillard led the team with a single core, Beverley did not work well in the first quarter, Chen An withdrew behind, he was ready to let Beverley try again, Chen An let Harris and Zhu Fangyu appear at the same time on the front line, Zhu Fangyu's defensive feet were a little slow, and he had an old injury in his leg, but the recovery during the preseason was not bad, Chen An also planned to see the effect, as for the No. 5 position, Chen An let the old AK go up.
This lineup is also considered one big and four small in the eyes of outsiders, but Chen An knows that this is a prototype of the small-ball lineup in his mind, and when Green and Crowder grow up, the power of the small-ball lineup should be further highlighted.
"Defend! When you get on the court, the first thing to do is to defend, as for the offensive end to Lillard, Kirilenko is ready to respond, and Harris tries to hit the interior to make damage if he has the opportunity. ”
Chen An explained to the players who were about to play, and after speaking, he looked at Beverley and said: "Take out your mad dog energy, bite the outside ball carrier to death, give me full physical contact, but try to control your fouls, you have to make yourself smarter and calmer in defense, understand?" ”
"Understood!"
Beverley nodded heavily, to be honest, he was very grateful to Chen An, Chen An signed him, and showed a lot of weight, directly into the rotation lineup, gave him enough playing time, and Beverley also wanted to show himself and respond.
Finally, Chen An looked at Zhu Fangyu again and said: "The intensity of the regular season is definitely much stronger than the preseason and Xia Lian, maybe you are worried about your physical condition, but you must understand that the NBA is a very competitive place, and you must show an attitude when you play, I don't worry about you on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, I hope you can open up and show the strength of the desperate Saburo, can you do it?" ”
Zhu Fangyu is not a newcomer, he is 29 years old, he has been in the CBA for more than ten years, and has become the historical record holder of many CBA data, this guy is an old fritter, for his strength, Chen An has some bottom, after all, a stable three-point and strong physique are enough to ensure that Zhu Ba is qualified to become a qualified rotation 3D player, the only worry is that this guy is closed, afraid of injury, and does not work the defensive end.
"Don't worry, I know that the NBA is fierce, the UAE is reluctant to fight inside, and I understand everything that was given up after floating plays. And since I'm here, I don't want to go back in disgrace, and I don't want to embarrass you. ”
Whether it is outside or within the team, Lillard, Green, Crowder, Beverley, and Zhu Fangyu are all considered to be the descendants of Chen Anyan's lineage, these people were personally selected or signed by him, and Zhu Fangyu also knows this relationship. He is also telling the truth, he chose to come to the NBA at the age of 29, he definitely didn't want to go back in disgrace, Chen An gave him trust, and he would respond with performance.
After saying this, Zhu Fangyu grinned, and then walked towards the court with Beverley.
The Magic made adjustments, and the Nuggets naturally adjusted, after all, Iguodala and Gallinari both played the first quarter and couldn't go without rest, so their rotation lineup at the beginning of the second quarter became Tylawson leading the team, rookie Fournier partnered the backcourt, Wilson Chandler played small forward, Faried continued to stay on the court, and Koufus returned as center.
This lineup is equal to three starters with two substitutes, Carl also hopes that the team will be guaranteed at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends during the rotation, but he didn't expect the Magic to change a strange formation, but George Karl was not surprised, because the Magic lineup was too weak, he immediately shouted at Tylawson on the sidelines, and made a few gestures.
George Carr's intention was quickly realized, and Kouvers was desperate in the low post, which was to force the rhythm of the interior, but the old AK's defensive experience was too rich, pestering Kouvers to keep going around, although Tylawson successfully hoisted the ball in, but Kouvers was not comfortable after receiving the ball, and when he adjusted slightly, he found that Beverley was sandwiched.
This kind of defense is not Chen An's arrangement, this is the embodiment of Beverley's spirituality on the defensive end, Chen An arranged for him to defend the ball holder in the second quarter, but seeing that in the first quarter of the defensive strategy of letting go of the shot and not letting go of the basketball is not accurate, he decisively let go of Tylawson, and the old AK completed the bag clamp for the first time, before Koufus adjusted, only to hear a snap, Beverley took the ball away, and then passed it to Lillard who ran to the front court.
Lillard's speed was extremely fast, and Fournier, who was also a rookie, had not yet reacted, Lillard had already run through the halfcourt to receive a long pass from Beverley's basketball, facing an empty frontcourt, Lillard quickly advanced with the ball, and flew directly into the paint area.
However, the Nuggets' defense is also fast, the half-orc Faried actually rushed back, followed by Lillard and flew to block, between the two figures in mid-air, Lillard shrank his abdomen, avoided Faried's block, and then stretched out his arms and came to a one-arm back buckle like a goshawk soaring in the sky!
Pretty!
Chen An stood up and waved his fist, and Harden on the bench would also come to trouble, half-squatting, stretching out his hands to stop the people behind him, and then his eyes bulged out, with an expression like seeing a flying fairy outside the sky.
The towels on the bench waved, and the spectators in the stands were rekindled, and for a while, the sound was in the sky.
It's just that everyone doesn't realize that this inconspicuous rotation lineup on the court has pushed the door of the new era of the NBA open a crack.
