Chapter 339: Shooting that changes the defense
Basketball is a game about who scores more points. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be more specific, it's to compete with who is more efficient in scoring.
Normally, the closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score.
Therefore, the saying "whoever wins the inside line wins the world" has always been a truth that managers and coaches of various teams firmly believe.
Even in the years when Jordan ruled the NBA, no one ever questioned this sentence, because in the seasons when the Bulls won the championship, although Jordan's brilliance was unmatched, the Bulls also had a very good interior line.
After Jordan retired, the Spurs, Lakers and Pistons, who won the championship, are all well-known interior powerhouses in the league.
The Spurs have David Robinson and Tim Duncan, a pair of interior twin towers.
The Lakers have O'Neal, the most dominant super center.
The Pistons also have two Wallaces, one inside and one outside, one defending and one attacking.
Therefore, any team that has a little idea about a championship wants to have a star-level interior player.
And once you see that your competitors have super insiders, those who don't have them have to hoard insiders just to limit the opponent's insiders in the game.
Therefore, in this era, interior players determine the outcome of the game, and basically have a pivotal position in the team, and are the treasure of each team.
In the process of the players' growth, the big men with height and athleticism, because of their talent, can always be easily valued by the coaches.
And the small guys, who don't have a natural height advantage, can only make up for it with better skills if they want to get ahead on the basketball court, and they have to put in a lot more effort than the big guys.
This is also an important reason why small players tend to have better basketball skills than big ones.
In the future NBA, the shooting skills on the outside are getting better and better, there are fewer and fewer excellent big men, the inside players are gradually reduced to blue-collar workers, the small men are gradually replacing the status of the big men, and more and more teams are playing and running, I am afraid there is also this factor.
What is easily obtained is often not cherished, and human nature has always been like this.
What is different from the future is that the big men in this era, except for the few blue-collar workers, basically have a good offensive skills, and in the offensive tactics of the coaches, the strong attack of the big man on the inside is a very important part.
The most powerful ones like O'Neal, once they receive the ball, it basically means scoring, even if the defender is Mutombo, the best defensive player, it is no different.
On the basketball court, the offense is always the dominant side, and once the offensive technique is good enough to a certain extent, the individual defense loses its effect.
That's why there are defensive tactics such as teamwork around the front to catch the ball and wrap the bag.
Although the power of "Little Shark" Eddie Curry is much "smaller" than that of "Big Shark", he can be regarded as "unstoppable" in the face of the Lakers' weak interior line.
The tactics of the bag and clip are always a last resort, and more defense and less means that if you miss someone, you can only rely on more active running, and you have to bet that the opponent's hand is not good.
At this time, it is indeed a good way to go around the front defense and not let the ball go, if the opponent's pass is not so good, it is basically a tactic that abolish the opponent.
In Lu Xiaofeng's memory, those teams that did not have a good center could not prevent Yao Ming's one-on-one singles, and they were unwilling to use the bag and clamp tactics, so they chose to defend around the front, and achieved very good results.
The normal defense of the interior line, of course, is to let the opponent get as far away from the basket as possible, the defender stands between the offensive player and the basket, and fiercely resists the opponent to prevent the opponent from getting close to the basket.
And around the front defense, but to stand in front of the offensive player, to prevent him from receiving the ball, of course, there is no way to prevent the opponent from approaching the basket, which is the opposite.
There are several reasons why Yao Ming can be dealt with with by defending around the front and achieving good results:
First, Yao Ming's confrontation ability has always been a problem, even if he has successfully gained weight after unremitting hard training, and is invincible in the international arena, he has always been at a disadvantage in the face of those muscular clubs in the NBA. Therefore, once he goes around him, the Rockets players dare not pass the ball to him, because he is often unable to catch it under the entanglement of the opponent.
Second, the Rockets' players are not so good at passing the ball, when the guards dare not pass the ball to Yao Ming, their forwards could have responded at the top of the arc and then passed the ball in from the front, but the Rockets' forwards did not have this ability.
Moreover, Yao Ming's rebounding ability is not strong enough. For Yao Ming, he just bullied him for not having strong rebounding ability, even if Yao Ming grabbed the basketball first, his fingers and wrists couldn't protect it! Everyone knows that O'Neill can't be stopped, but who will give up the bag and switch to the front winding? It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare. With O'Neal's rebounding ability, once he goes around him, it means giving up rebounding, and O'Neal's teammates can boldly shoot and shoot, and if they can't shoot, O'Neal will make up for it. Behind O'Neal, do you still want to grab a rebound?
Therefore, using the detour to deal with the inside line can be described as a tactic of "injuring the enemy by 1,000 and self-destructing 800", that is, Yao Ming who is dealing with rockets, will have an amazing effect.
Seeing Eddie Curry hit both free throws again, Lu Xiaofeng had a plan in his heart.
Dribbling the ball past the halfway, Lu Xiaofeng saw that Kobe Bryant was about to ask for a position again, he shook his head, motioned for Kobe to pull away, and Odom came up.
Kobe Bryant knew that Lu Xiaofeng was going to play blocking and demolition tactics, so he ran out of it and pulled the inside line.
Odom blocked, Lu Xiaofeng got rid of Duhon, and Davis made up the defense.
Lu Xiaofeng accelerated his dribbling and passed Davis in one step, but in the next moment, the basketball in his hand was passed out.
Odom taken apart? No, Du Hong changed his defense, although it was also an opportunity, but it was not a very good opportunity.
Kobe Bryant suddenly cut into the basket in the air? No, although Bryant got rid of Rolldun, Eddie Curry shrank to the basket, and this time he hit the basket, which may cause a foul, but it is not the best opportunity.
Lu Xiaofeng passed to Cook outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left.
Tang Shuai sent him up, didn't he just use his three-point threat to open up space?
Now that he's running out and Eddie Curry isn't following, that's certainly going to cost Eddie Curry's choice.
The confrontation between Eddie Curry and Cook, under the basket, of course, is Eddie Curry who has the advantage, but Cook also has his advantage, that is, the three-point shot.
Cook, who only scored the highest score of his career last night, lived up to Lu Xiaofeng's expectations, received Lu Xiaofeng's pass, and immediately made a decisive shot, and the basketball flew through a graceful curve and entered the net.
Lu Xiaofeng, who was standing in the three-second zone and was about to grab the board, of course he was busy again, but he showed a happy smile.
"Good shot! Cast beautifully! ”
Lu Xiaofeng turned around and gave Cook a thumbs up.
It was a very important goal that could change the opponent's defensive strategy.
