Chapter 401: Zhang Guan's Trap
Pick-and-roll tactics are a very basic tactic in basketball, and it can be said that every basketball player can master this basic tactic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But for any technique, there is a tall wall between mastery and mastery, and the blocking and dismantling tactics in basketball involve the use of the court, the cooperation of teammates, the grasp of timing and improvisation, so every guard will, but the results achieved are very different.
Blocking naturally requires two people to complete, and the more traditional and most common is naturally the high pick-and-roll, which is often the cooperation between the guard and the interior player, and between the guard or between the guard and the small forward, will also use the cover to get the pass space. But in general, the pick-and-roll strategy still has to be centered on the ball carrier.
The effectiveness of the pick-and-roll strategy directly depends on the level of the guard, and not every guard is good at pick-and-roll, even in the NBA, there are many excellent point guards, they may easily contribute 20+10 stats, but they are not good at blocking.
There is a huge difference between a guard who is good at blocking and a guard who is not good at blocking and dismantling, and the effect of using blocking and dismantling tactics is huge, and even for many guards who are good at using blocking and dismantling, losing blocking and dismantling tactics is equivalent to abolishing more than half of his martial arts.
Dragic is undoubtedly a master pick-and-roll, and his pick-and-roll is even seen as having a Stockton style. It's just that in the NBA, the current Dragic has only played for two seasons, and he has not been in the team's rotation for a long time, and it is impossible to have absolute possession to play the on-the-spot tactics that he is best at.
But when it comes to the Slovenian national team, Dragic has more balls, and the team is willing to develop special tactics for him to play blocking and pick-and-roll.
The Slovenian team's sudden change in tactics caught China off guard, and more importantly, Dragic is really strong at blocking and dismantling, whether it is Brezek, Rakovic or Zupan, Dragic can form an effective cooperation with them. And this effective combination can also be translated into offensive opportunities.
The margin was reduced to two points, and Coach Dunward decisively called a timeout, and he began to set up tactics to defend against the Slovenian team's pick-and-roll.
Defensive pick-and-roll is not a difficult subject, and since the advent of pick-and-roll tactics, there have been ways to defend pick-and-roll. The first conventional method is to change the guard. Although there is a mismatch defense this time, as long as the defender's ability is strong enough, the mismatch defense is no problem. Nowitzki, for example, is an interior player, but he has a knack for defending pick-and-rolls, even if he is a misplaced defender and can play against some small guards.
However, in today's Chinese team, Da Yao's foot injury has not yet healed, which greatly limits his ability to move, and for a player who is not good at moving, it is very difficult to change the defense after the dislocation after blocking and dismantling after weakening the mobility ability again. Therefore, Deng Huade could only temporarily replace him from the field and replace him with a young player in order to keep up with the pace of the misplaced change of defense.
The second conventional method of blocking and pick-and-roll is the pinch shot, which means that both defenders go to the ball carrier, but this is definitely risky, and the pinch will also mean that a person will be missed, and if the ball carrier has enough passing awareness and level, there will be a loophole. So if the opponent starts the pick-and-roll if it's a player who is very good at passing, like Nash, the pinch won't be very effective.
Dragic's passing ability is still there, especially in the Slovenian team, and his passing level can be brought into play. If it's in the NBA, the level of the players is relatively high, maybe you can try to pinch Dragic. But China's players clearly don't have the quality of an NBA defender, and sandwiching Dragic is not a smart choice.
The third method of blocking is blocking, in which the defender's player blocks the ball carrier's path and buys time for his teammates to switch defenses. This method is based on a relatively tacit cooperation and a relatively high level of tactical understanding, especially testing the coach's ability to command the team and the player's tactical execution, such as the Spurs in the NBA, they like to use this way to defend and block.
But in this Chinese team, Deng Huade is obviously not a top coach with commanding ability, and the players, especially those young players, are relatively average in terms of coordination, tactical understanding and tactical execution, and it is not a suitable method to defend and block with this method.
The fourth way to put the block and dismantle is to let the opponent shoot, which can be summed up as letting the shot not burst. Even if there is a short vacancy or a misplaced change of defense after the block, it does not mean that the shot will definitely be able to be shot, especially if the opponent's shooting rate is relatively average, it is okay to use this tactic. For example, a player like Howard who has no long-range shooting ability can let him shoot, and it is normal to shoot if he can't shoot. And if it were Nowitzki, no one would let him shoot.
Although not all the players of the Slovenian team are pitchers, everyone also has a long-range shooting level, and their attack range can be extended beyond the three-point line, and it is impossible for the Chinese team to let the Slovenian team shoot.
In the face of Dragic's world-class blocking and dismantling, Deng Huade's shortcomings in the general tactical level have also emerged, he can "play chicken blood" to make the players more excited than one another, one by one dare to fight, but in the face of the Slovenian team's sudden tactical change, but can not find the most practical way to deal with it at the first time. All he could do was make substitutions.
……
"The blocking and pick-and-roll tactics seem to be effective, and that Yankee is no more than that!" Coach Zhikovic looked at Deng Huade not far away, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
Compared with the previous coach Harris and Coach Younas, Deng Huade is indeed too young and lacks resume, at least in Europe, Deng Huade is not famous. European coaches and American coaches are completely different systems, and the so-called peer rivalry is also common among coaches. So in the eyes of Zhikovic, Deng Huade is just a rookie who has just debuted.
The Slovenian team continued to play blocking and dismantling, but the Chinese team's defense also seemed to be more chaotic, although the players had a momentum, but they could not reach that high level in terms of awareness and tactical understanding, especially after the high blocking and dismantling, there was a change of defense, which made the players of the Chinese team look a little confused, and they didn't know whether to continue to stare at the original opponent or change to a new opponent.
Fortunately, Slovenia did not score the next goal, which also gave the Chinese team a chance to buffer, but anyone can see that the current situation of the Chinese team is not too second.
Da Yao looked at the situation on the field, looking anxious but helpless, he even began to blame himself, if it wasn't for the foot injury that affected his ability to move, now Blazek, I'm afraid he would have been blown up by himself a long time ago!
"It turns out that China can't defend against blocking and dismantling, and it only needs a simple blocking and dismantling to disrupt the defensive deployment of the Chinese team!" Dragic dribbled forward as he gestured towards Brezek, signaling him to step forward for a pick-and-roll.
Blazek also immediately ran near the three-point line, ready to block and pick-and-roll.
Still the same as before, the block between Brezek and Dragic, and then Dragic broke through the three-point line with the ball in search of the possibility of scoring.
However, at this point, Dragic found that Brezek seemed to be in an open position, and it was a perfect shooting opportunity.
"The Chinese team missed Brezek, a good chance!" With a flick of Dragic's wrist, the ball was already in Brezek's hands.
Blazek didn't hesitate and got up straight to make a jumper.
At this moment, a large hand suddenly appeared on Brezek's head, and then pressed down fiercely.
"Smack!" Blazek ate a big hot pot stubbornly.
"Who is it? Who built me? Brezek looked down and saw Zhang Guan's figure.
"Is it me with a crown? How is this possible! Brezek thought incredulously.
At this moment, a deafening cheer rang out at the scene.
"Jump so high! Zhang Guan jumped so high! ”
"That's Blazek, 216 cm Blazeck, Zhang Guan is 25 centimeters behind him, and he was given such a big hat!"
"Beautiful, so beautiful! Blazek's shots have already been shot, and it's incredible that someone can block at this height! ”
In the midst of the discussion, Zhang Guan had already grabbed the ball, and then rushed to the front court and ended the attack with a beautiful dunk.
……
"How is it possible, how can Zhang Guan cover me? How high he has to jump! Blazek recalls what happened just now, and he confirmed that it was Zhang Guan who gave him a big hat.
In Blazek's experience, it is almost impossible for a guard to block a seven-foot-long man who jumps and shoots in the front, not to mention that Blazek's height has reached 2.16 meters, and his height is relatively high among centers around the world.
But even so, he was covered, and Zhang Guan not only had the height of the jump, but also had enough speed. Blazek was still in the open space when he chose to shoot the jumper, and at the moment he jumped, Zhang Guan had already rushed to his front.
Blazek was a little frustrated by being capped by a defender, but Dragic was still confident, and he felt that it was just because Blazek was careless and had an accident.
"Zhang Guan's physical fitness is really outstanding, if it were someone else, it would definitely be impossible to move so fast and jump so high, he was able to block Blazek head-on, and he really can't underestimate him!" Dragic thought to himself.
The ball was back in Dragic's hands, and he pushed forward with the ball again, followed by another pick-and-roll with Brezek.
However, this time, Dragic found that Brezek was in the empty position again.
'Blazek's chances are still good. With a flick of his wrist, Dragic passed the ball to Brezek again.
After Blazek received the ball, he didn't hesitate and got up directly to shoot.
The big hand in the air appeared for the second time and slapped the ball hard.
"It's Zhang Guan again!"
……
After Zhang Guan got the ball, he scored a fast-break layup again, and the point difference widened to six points again.
Having the same situation twice in a row made Dragic feel a little strange, if it was just once, maybe it was really Brezek who was careless, but the same situation happened twice in a row, Dragic had to think that this may not be an accident.
This time, he still chose Blazek to play with him, and after the pick-and-roll cooperation, he saw that Blazek was still in an open position.
"Blazek is open again, a good attacking opportunity!" Dragic instinctively passed the ball to Brezek, and when the ball was shot, Dragic realized the question of why Brezek was completely in an open position with no one to mark him.
"It's not normal!" Dragic immediately went to look for Zhang Guan, but found that Zhang Guan made a gesture ready to attack at this time.
"Oh no, it's a trap!" Dragic was about to scream to stop Blazek from shooting, but Blazek had already jumped, aimed at the basket, and waved to shoot.
Next, Blazek suffered a third block, which came from Zhang's third.
The score stretched to eight points, which was one more point than the seven-point difference at halftime.
Looking at the eight-point difference, Dragic has fully understood that all this is a trap set by Zhang Guan.
In the face of Dragic's world-class blocking and dismantling level, Zhang Guan decided to step up, but Zhang Guan knew that it took two people to complete the blocking and dismantling, so it also took two people to defend the blocking and dismantling, and it was not enough to rely on himself.
Zhang Guan believes that relying on his height, it may be difficult to limit the main Blazek under the basket, but near the three-point line, he can rely on the passing bounce blue to limit Blazek's shooting, so Zhang Guan simply created an open opportunity for Brezek, let Dragic pass the ball to Blazek, and then defend Blazek, which is much easier than complex position reversal defense.
In fact, Dragic and Brezek really took the bait, and while being blocked three times in a row, Zhang Guan scored six points in a row.
If it were someone else, maybe there would not be such a bold idea, the physical gap between the point guard and the center is an insurmountable mountain in defense, but in front of Zhang Guan, this mountain may only be regarded as a small dirt bag, and a little force can be stepped over.
……
"It can be like this! You can actually use this method to defend the pick-and-roll! After the block-and-tear change, a guard can use his body to defend against a big center who is more than seven feet long, and Zhang Guan actually used this method to crack the Slovenian block! ”
Deng Huade looked at Zhang Guan on the field, and a ray of shock appeared in his eyes.
"A defender, in the defense, stubbornly resisted a traditional big center, with a height difference of almost 25 centimeters, and the weight difference must be forty pounds, Zhang Guan actually did it! No, not just to prevent, but to completely suppress Brezek! How did he do it? (To be continued.) )
