Chapter 216 Defensive Strategy
Larry Brown's defensive thinking about Yao Da is in trouble, if he can't be stopped in time, then the Pistons' interior line may be exploded, and the game may also be turned out, in order not to happen, Larry Brown thought about it carefully.
The Pistons can defend against Yao Da Man, and they must be defended, and the joint defense is to find a flexible player who can destroy his score, that is, to be able to take his ball away when he is about to shoot, which is the way to destroy his score, but it is difficult to prevent him from grabbing rebounds, and there is really no one to stop him from grabbing rebounds.
Don't worry about rebounding, just do a good job of destroying the shooting offense, and then use the four interior lines to take turns to consume his physical strength, so he should not last long, and the playing time will definitely drop.
The second is to kick Da Yao out of the box or even the entire three-second zone, but it is a bit difficult, first let the other interior players drain his stamina, and then let Ben Wallace try to slowly squeeze him out of the basket by getting stuck in the box.
Finally, the foul tactics are arranged, and the more ruthless the better, so that he knows that the Pistons' interior line is not easy to bully, so as to build a protective wall psychologically, and also destroy his shooting touch by the way.
Head coach Larry Brown figured out these ways to limit the super inside in less than two minutes, and he deserves to be a thousand wins coach.
Then Larry Brown gave his idea to the Big Four, and then gave Osborne, who was the most flexible of the Pistons, to disrupt Da Yao's shot. Osborne also admired Larry Brown when he heard Larry Brown's classic tactics, and felt that the chances of winning today's game were more likely, although Da Yao would get super data.
The second quarter begins. Elden Campbell, who is tasked with draining the physical strength of the Rockets' center. He kept making physical contact to create the biggest physical confrontation for Da Yao. Even without the ball, this is the case, so there is such a strange scene on the court, when the outside players are still dribbling the ball leisurely, the Pistons and the Rockets are as entangled as a life-and-death battle.
As a last resort, the referee used a lot of home whistles to Elden Campbell in order to divide the two of them, but he didn't care, his task was to consume the opponent's physical strength.
The referee couldn't do anything about it, after all, the home whistle can't be too obvious. So as long as there is no obvious foul, the referee will turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.
Turning his gaze to the outside, Francis is also doing his job, he uses his breakthrough and splitting skills to create better shooting space for his teammates, but Chaunsibiloops also keeps a closer eye on it, so Francis's breakthrough is not so smooth, and Francis is also very experienced.
He dribbled the ball under his crotch twice in a row, and then jumped straight up to shoot, but this shot was a fake shot and a real pass. He threw the basketball directly high, and Da Yao, who was on the inside, directly dunked on a dry land, which is the in-out tactic, due to the number one person in the league like Da Yao. You just need to throw the basketball into the air when he's stuck in position, and it will naturally be converted into offense. It doesn't get much easier and more enjoyable to work with.
It's almost like O'Neal during the Lakers' three-game winning streak, and the only tactic is to give the ball to O'Neal. If there's any other tactic, it's to get the ball to O'Neal quickly. Once you're handed over to O'Neal, you don't have to worry about it, and then you'll see a nimble dead fat guy wreaking havoc on the inside. Da Yao is similar, as long as he hoists the ball to him or throws it high, he can almost score the ball.
Seeing that the Rockets' interior line is still rampant, simple and rude, and the Pistons' outside players have no choice, they can only have a battle of offense, anyway, when it comes to aggressiveness, Osborne alone can be worth two or even three people on the other side.
Osborne also felt that he couldn't hesitate anymore, anyway, he was worried about the inside line might as well let go, Osborne by constantly running, through teammates to create a block and dismantle cover or create his own block and dismantle cover, and finally ran out of the vacancy, and then Osborne also came to a classic catch-and-shoot technical and tactical action, a catch-and-shoot tactic that was discarded by Osborne for a long time, the effect is still so obvious, Osborne's basketball passed through the net, but it was only a two-point shot, after all, the Rockets knew that Osborne's three-point shot was powerful, and there must have been an arrangement, Anyway, he just didn't give Osborne a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
The current Osborne is not obsessed with three-point or two-point shots, as long as he can score a good shot, Osborne is also using his own way to create problems for the Rockets and create opportunities for the Pistons.
Osborne didn't think of his own style of play, and he strengthened the Rockets' interior offense, so he took advantage of Da Yao's inattention to take out a few balls in a row, which also made Da Yao very angry, so he directly raised his arms, because he knew that as long as he raised his arms, almost no one in the NBA could reach his basketball, and at this time he didn't have to shoot, but tried Abdul-Jabbar's hook.
Osborne didn't expect that his ball digging action would make Yao's hook hand come out faster, and Da Yao felt more and more comfortable that the hook was very comfortable, especially the hit rate of the hook at medium and long distances was also very high.
Seeing this, Osborne was almost crying, he didn't expect that his stealing the ball would force the strongest inside line, at this time Osborne could only give up that unrealistic idea, and also concentrated on organizing the attack or the task of attacking the endpoint.
So, the second quarter returned to calm, there were not too many conflicts, basically you score a goal and I scored a goal, no one delayed anyone, but scoring goals is not so easy, Elden Campbell is still insisting on consuming Yao Da's physical strength, and the outside line is a little lifeless, after all, the main offensive point is on the inside, and the players on the outside line just need to control the rhythm.
After Da Yao scored another basketball, head coach Larry Brown called another short timeout and replaced Memeteokwu on the court, with the same task, but Memeteokwu may have the experience and talent to defend tall men, he limited Da Yao's explosive scoring very well, and was able to score on his own from time to time.
The Rockets also saw that Da Yao's physical strength had declined a little, and they also took advantage of a tactical foul to replace Da Yao to rest and rest, so there were less than 4 minutes left in the second quarter of the game, and the two teams started a wonderful breakthrough battle, especially the Rockets' breakthrough didn't seem to be for the sake of scoring, and they always couldn't score, and on the Pistons' side, Osborne also hit a few irons angrily.
The two sides go back and forth, at halftime, the Pistons drew 58:58 with the Rockets, Osborne's shooting rate in the second quarter was not high, and he scored 23 points at halftime, and the opponent's Da Yao has also cut down the super data of 18+11, even if he doesn't play in the second half, this data is worthy of the fans and the audience, and it is also worthy of his annual salary.
