Honk!

When the referee's whistle blew, Brewer's face was wrinkled, and he spread his hands and said to the referee with an innocent face: "I didn't hit him, I didn't hit him." ”

No wonder Brewer is in such a hurry, in the round just now, Harden pushed the ball across the half court, and was forced to the corner by him, Iguodala came up to completely cover it, Harden couldn't even get the ball out, holding the ball and was entangled with the two, seeing that the 24-second offensive time was about to run out, and finally Brewer was in a hurry, and the referee blew a foul by the referee.

"Sure enough, the defense has changed, and the old Carl is still very set."

Chen An attaches great importance to George Karl, and George Karl is indeed very set, reacts quickly, and seeing that Harden is taking what he wants on the offensive end, he replaced Brewer to defend Harden, and he should have explained.

Brewer's defense is very distinctive, he sticks Harden very close, and he is not afraid of Harden breaking through, he lets go of his right hand, that is, he mainly defends Harden's shots, and puts his right hand side to Harden for him to break through. This kind of defensive strategy later became the strategy of many players to defend Harden, which once made Harden very uncomfortable, but Harden evolved quickly, and when the left and right hands were balanced, such a defensive strategy did not work very well.

However, it has only been 12 years now, and Harden has just come out to take the lead, and Brewer has followed George Karl's orders, and this kind of defense has really worked for Harden.

Under such a defensive strategy, Harden can only break through, and the breakthrough has several effects, when he is on the left side, he can only go inside, McGee's big height, plus Brewer's fast legs, his breakthrough effect will be discounted to a certain extent. On the right, you can only go to the sideline, and if the other party has a targeted bag, you may be caught in the corner.

This was the case just now, Brewer followed quickly, Iguodala also rose quickly, and without waiting for Harden to get the ball, he directly clamped him.

George Carr is so keen on this and the quality of his coaching is evident.

Seeing this, Chen An immediately applied for a substitution, replacing Harris with Turner, who had a bad hand, and before going on the court, Chen An gave Turner a face-to-face lecture.

When the substitution was completed and the ball was restarted, Harden was sent directly to the sideline to serve, Lillard bypassed a screen, caught the ball steadily, and the 14 seconds of offensive time re-given after the foul was still abundant, Lillard quickly formed a two-on-two situation with Turner according to the tactics.

It was one of Lillard's most proficient tactics in the summer league and preseason, and Lillard went straight to the three-pointer against Tylawson, who was a head shorter than him.

Swish!

The basketball hollowed into the net, and Lillard scored the first point of his NBA career, and the score became 14-6.

"Old George, now it's up to you how you make a move."

In the next few minutes, the two sides launched a battle of offense, George Karl handed over the offense more to Iguodala and Gallinari to deal with, and the two also lived up to expectations, activating the team's offense to a certain extent, and the five rounds became four, of which Iguodala also played a 2+1 after breaking through Harden, and the Nuggets quickly scored points.

But the Magic side was not affected, and it was executed according to the tactics step by step, but one change was that the one who held the ball over half court became Lillard and Turner, and after the two took turns holding the ball to advance through the half, Lillard and Harden took turns to attack, but because George Karl set up a defense specifically for Harden, the offense on the Magic side was a little different from the past.

Lillard is still the same old-fashioned, local one to one, local two to two, using the height advantage to eat Tylawn, Tylawson is short after all, only 1.8 meters, the defense is hard to lose, and the effect of eating alone is also very good. Harden's offense turned into a step inside the three-point line with his back to Brewer asking for the ball.

Although Brewer has fast legs, he is lightweight, and his back can't withstand Harden at all, and it's even more impossible to pull Harden the ball from behind. If no one is covered, Harden can either turn around and step back for a jumper, or turn directly and use his body width to pass Brewer, and if someone comes up to help defend, Harden can also pass the ball calmly.

In this way, George Carr's defense against Harden did not work at all, so although the Nuggets scored quickly, the Magic were faster, and the score became 25-15 in about seven minutes of the first quarter.

George Karl was in a hurry, standing on the sidelines with his waist crossed and screaming: "Run, run, run, speed, I want speed!" ”

George Carr, nicknamed Crazy Carl in the 80s, was quite irascible and often yelled at the players, and when he was coaching the Warriors, he was too violent to the players, and the psychological pressure on the players was too great, which led to the drunkenness of God's left hand Chris Mullin.

It is said that Tylawson's alcoholism was also caused by George Carr.

George Carl originally made a lot of pre-match arrangements for this game, but he didn't expect to be countered by Chen An one after another, and he was also anxious when he saw that the situation on the field was further deteriorating.

Chen An is an old god, waiting for a dead ball, he began to change the rotation lineup step by step, Lillard was replaced, Beverley came on as a substitute, the old AK replaced Anderson, and JJ Hickson replaced Vucevich.

Such a rotation lineup, from a defensive point of view, has been improved on the outside, and the old AK also has a certain ability to protect the basket, as for JJ Hixon, although this guy has a bad defense, his rebounding ability is still quite good.

In the original historical 12-13 season rebounding data list, JJ Hickson ranked ninth with an average of 10.4 rebounds per game, Vucevic ranked second with 11.9 rebounds, and the first was Howard with 12.4 rebounds per game. It's worth mentioning that Hickson's average minutes per game is lower than the rest of the top 10, with he averaging just 29 minutes per game with the Trail Blazers.

It can be said that the reason why Chen An brought Hickson is not only because he values his bouncing attributes, but also because he may become a cake eater on the offensive end, on the other hand, it is also out of consideration for rebounding, with this guy and Vucevich, the team's defensive rebounds have a considerable degree of protection, at least don't worry about the rebounds being blown up by the opponent.

Chen An's re-change of formation achieved immediate results, after Harden became the only offensive point with the ball, he did not go to both sides, held the ball in the middle of the high post, and called Hickson to block and dismantle cooperation, he and Hickson's blocking and dismantling were the most felt, because Hickson ran fast and jumped high, and he could finish some balls well on the offensive end, such as empty catches.

Bang!

Only two minutes after the rotation lineup played, Harden and Hickson completed a beautiful cooperation, Hickson delivered a one-arm empty dunk, the atmosphere of the Magic team was ignited, and the score also came to 29:17, and the difference further widened.

Seeing this, George Carl knew that he couldn't be indifferent anymore, and after he called a timeout, he changed to a rotation lineup similar to a small ball, and Chen An's eyes lit up when he saw this.
