Chapter 317: The Wizards' Battle of Wits with the Knicks

The Wizards-Knicks encounter attracted neutral fans on both sides, and it was until the last minute that the two sides began to compete in a cross-shaped rise, and when Kwame didn't use much force in the first half, he used the offensive ability of other players to open up the situation on the court.

It was only in the end that the Knicks took the lead in one or two rounds, which reflected the extremely mature and strong side of the Knicks players, even if the Wizards used the strong advantage of Kwame himself to let Yao Ming fall into a rare physical crisis this season, the Knicks just used a simple small tactic on personnel to let Yao Ming recover a little physical strength and maintain the advantage of the game until the end.

In this game, it was clear that the Wizards would not be able to defeat the Knicks if they used their regular tactics.

The second round of the battle between the two sides also began, and the Wizards, who had learned the lessons of the previous game, began to play quick round transitions at Kwame's behest.

Under this tactic, Kwame's ball-handling offense will be reduced a lot, and the main core will become the Wizards' outside duo, and the abilities of Arenas and Hughes will be most significantly improved under this tactic.

When the positional battle begins, Kwame is the point of attack, but when other players run, Kwame is just a blue-collar and endpoint for rebounding.

Such a tactical choice is undoubtedly aimed at Yao Ming, although Kwamei consumes a lot of physical strength under such tactics, and the tactical risk of doing so is also very large, and the position of Kwamei's tactical core will also be weakened, but compared with the Knicks' positional offense, especially when the Knicks have a strong bench lineup, the Wizards' choice of this is just a helpless choice.

But in the face of such tactics, the Knicks can only see the moves, can not change, and do not dare to take large-scale rotation, if Kwamei is replaced by any other interior in the league, the Knicks have tactical choices, but when Kwamei does not care about any choice, just intends to do so, the Knicks become extremely uncomfortable, and even can only rely on the rhythm control of the bow peak to control the state of stalemate on the court.

Yao Ming got off the court at this time, and the Wizards immediately turned into a positional offense, except for Yao Ming's single defense with deterrence, everyone else was pulling away, and they all delivered food to Kwamei when they were pulled away, and if Yao Ming was not replaced, the Wizards could only choose to let Yao Ming's physical strength run out quickly, which was really an extremely difficult choice for the Knicks.

The Wizards' rapid rotation lineup, removing the role of Kwamei, the core lineup of Gong Feng and the other three can be completely sustained, and even achieve the purpose of restraint in the end, but when Kwamei exists, it is a different situation.

Just like Gong Feng and the other three people adapt to two completely different lineups, Kwamei is also this type.

At halftime, Kwame alone had already scored 8 points and 12 rebounds, but in the past games, Kwame, who averaged four assists per game, did not even have one in the half, which can be seen from here Kwame's progress over the years, as well as his personal maturity.

Yao Ming's physical strength is also very consumed after halftime, although he can still play, but he is so targeted, he can still play a quarter of time, although the Knicks use as much timeout as possible, under the rotation of the players, let Yao Ming rest as much as possible, but Kwame did not rest for a minute in the half game.

"We can't continue to play like this, in the second half we need to make changes and change the situation on the court, Yao Ming can't continue to play, Mil, make a decision, even if Yao Ming is not there, our defense is in a weak situation, we can still fight with the Wizards to attack!"

"I don't agree with Gentry, there is a Kwame wizard, but there is a terrifying ability to assist and defend alone."

"Yao Ming needs a certain amount of rest now, do you want to see our slow death?"

"The main core players can't be changed, even if they have to be changed, they can't be changed at the beginning, this kind of practice is very easy to target, some things have to be overcome, do you want Yao Ming to take on the 'twenty-minute superstar' and other words?"

"Alright, both of you shut up!" Mir finally spoke in a very stern tone, interrupting the words of the two assistant coaches, "We are in the lead now, how can you all be infighting in this situation?" So when we fall behind one day, are you going to force me to give up my position as manager? ”

This is the first time that Mill has reprimanded his two right-hand men in public, but it is also a redefinition of his position in the Knicks.

Seeing that the two of them, whether they were willing or not, closed their mouths, Mir continued: "What about the assistant? Haven't I finished the half-time stats I want yet? What do you do to eat? ”

Looking at the documents that were immediately delivered to him, Mir continued: "Yao Ming, you need to take a good rest now, relax your spirit, you may rest for more than five minutes, if the situation is better, you may take a break for a while!" ”

"Understood! Instructor! ”

Mir, who nodded at this, continued: "Yao Ming is going to rest, you four main players can't rest, Payton, you will continue to replace Yao Ming later, but our playing style will change somewhat!" ”

"In the first half, because of the speed, there are actually some points that we can target, you can take a look at this table first! Look at the number of fouls he committed! Three times, Kwame has already committed three fouls at halftime, this is because he serves as the main defensive player of the Wizards, even if he is talented, but in the case of one person protecting the whole team, he can do very little in the face of our breakthrough, and Gong Feng, Hill and others have already discovered this, look at what Gong Feng and the other three do, right? Here's our scoring graph for the first half. ”

Looking at the points that scored very intensively on the inside, the two assistant coaches suddenly realized, but the others did not relax a little, "It's familiar, isn't it?" Our scores are concentrated on the inside! But look at Yao Ming's data! ”

"Yao Ming's role in the first half is to defend, and he knows how to protect his physical fitness, Gentry, don't be fooled by those conditions on the court, you have to grasp the real essence of the problem, Gong Feng, Hill, Allen are all masters of controlling the rhythm, and there is an essential difference between the young people who only know how to start quickly on the outside of the Wizards!"

"Although I called a lot of timeouts in the first half, the real idea was not only to ease the physical strength of Yao Ming, but also to ease the physical strength of Hill, Gong Feng, Allen, and Payton, you can look at the playing time of the three of them!"

"Tactics or something, you are indeed stronger than me now, but do you think that a champion coach, a coach who has only led the team for three years and achieved terrifying results, all the credit is you for helping me get?" After finishing speaking, Mir looked at his two assistant coaches very angrily, because they were arguing with each other, they didn't notice the calm expression of Gong Feng and the other three cores, lying on the massage chair and being restored by the physical trainer.

"You really deserve to have more communication with our players! The three of them played more than 22 minutes, with only Bosh playing 14 minutes, and their accelerated pace and small-scale coordination, without Yao Ming's presence at all, had already done what the tactics needed in just a few seconds, and in this case, they also found a time period for Kwame to increase the number of fouls...... That's what I'm going to talk to you about at halftime! ”

Seeing that everyone had regained their composure and a smile on their faces, Mir nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Now, my assistants, I need to expand our advantage, I need your opinion, how can I make Kwame's fouls increase again, as long as he fouls again, the situation will completely change!" ”

After Thibodeau coughed, he glanced at Gentry and said: "This is the Eastern Conference Finals, and the referee must not let a superstar go down easily, but it is not impossible, as long as we want to create an accident, create a situation where the referee can't do it without blowing the whistle!" We need to send a line-up like that after the start and then ......."

After watching everyone concentrate on their tactics, Thibodeau smiled with satisfaction.

Finally, Mir made the final word, "Good! Very good! Just follow this arrangement! Remember, if Kwamei continues to stay on the court, I don't want you to think about any tactics, just go to Kwamei, as long as he Kwamei makes some foul moves, five times if it doesn't work once, five times if it doesn't work, I will be sent off by the referee, as long as your breakthrough performance is very good! ”

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Jay was the first to respond. (To be continued.) )
