Chapter 218: Defensive Strategy

Although he is suspected of faking a fall, for Sun Xiaotian, he will not hesitate to bring points to the team, no matter what method he uses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info But after all, it is not fair to do this, and it is even possible to give people a handle after the game, which will become an excuse for those Sun Hei to hype, but Sun Xiaotian doesn't care so much.

Putting aside the topic of men and not men, as long as the referee does not prohibit or be found on the field, these are also "allowed" to a certain extent.

This is just a microcosm of this Finals, from the first game to the present, the Spurs are now trying to contain Sun Xiaotian. Before the game, the report given by the Spurs' uniform team was that "the Bulls only have one super point, and if you suppress this point, you can win"

But so far in the game, although the Spurs can't be said to be useless in containing Sun Xiaotian, it is not much better, it can be seen from the data handed over by Sun Xiaotian, so that the old man Popovich actually gave up his defense in the sixth game and focused on defending the other four people, although this cannot be said to be Popovich's performance of being pressed, at least it can be seen that Popovich is helpless in dealing with Sun Xiaotian.

Since the NBA entered the 21st century, there are three teams that are the most special in terms of defensive tactics, namely the Pistons in 2004, the Spurs in 2005, and the Celtics in 2008.

So in 2004 the Pistons could get Kobe Bryant, but a year later they couldn't get Wade and Ginobili. In 2005, the Spurs were able to get the peak Suns, but they have always had some headaches for Kobe. In 2008, the Celtics played the Lakers more easily than the Hawks. Because of the different tendencies, the appropriate offensive and defensive styles are also different.

In 2004, the Pistons' defensive core was pressure. Applying pressure to the ball carrier; Putting pressure on the off-the-ball player. The former is a blocked shot, and the latter is a blocked pass. Grandpa Larry Brown believes that in an NBA-level game, you can't put an opponent to pass the ball comfortably. In fact, he encouraged his opponent to break through: it was too late to break into the box and fill in the position. Prince, Hamilton, Billups and Hunter (who are the Pistons' actually best perimeter defenders) kept pressing, and the duo Wallace filled in on the inside, creating a great sense of pressure on the ball carrier.

This strategy is hell for players who are good at shooting, especially good at mid-range shooting. Because it can, easily, curb the opponent's shooting rhythm and paralyze the opponent's offensive coordination, which is why the Pistons were able to get the Lakers F4 in the 04 Finals.

However, one of the biggest drawbacks of this defensive strategy is the fear of super breakers. For example, Ginobili in the 2005 Finals, Wade in 2006, and LeBron in 2007.

In 2008, the most used tactic in the Celtics' defense was the up-and-out pinch shot.

Once the perimeter ball carrier is about to break through, the nearest upline Celtics player will quickly pounce and pinch it; If you call the pick-and-roll, especially against kg, kg will pinch you with Rondo, locally three and two. You can't easily transfer and you can't shoot comfortably.

Of course, this system is based on the almost unlimited range of movement of kg. That season, he could sweep to the three-point line to fill in the position, he could rotate the weak side, and one person could use two people. This defensive strategy is the most effective against offensive masters with the ball, such as 2008 scoring champion LeBron and MVP Kobe Bryant both lost to this Celtics team.

But this defensive strategy also created a fatal flaw for the Celtics, because the pinch shot is ferocious, and the backcourt rebounds get weaker and weaker the later. In Game 7 of the 2010 Finals, Perkins didn't play, and he completely lost in the backcourt rebounding. After the 2010-11 season, Perkins left, and the Celtics were still fierce defensively, but the backcourt rebounds have been suffering. And they play like this, which is a test of fitness and enthusiasm, so Celtic always seem more fanatical than their opponents, but also more tired.

So, on the NBA court, all tactics are a game between wins and losses. Of course, the same is true for Spurs in 2005.

The Spurs' defensive strategy is to guide.

Popovich's defense was learned from Larry Brown, but there are many things that are different. For example, the Pistons are vicious pressing, and the Spurs have always been less brutal. The Spurs' defensive philosophy is to limit the speed with the lead defense or expand the defense, block the middle to break through, and let the opponent go to the side; After the opponent is in the corner, the opponent is allowed to break through. Once the opponent breaks through, the weak side of the inside line fills the position. Try to get the opponent to a narrow field of vision, and use the weak side to fill in the position, so that the opponent can't pass the ball closely. At the end of the day, it's about forcing the opponent to either stop and shoot or pass the ball wide.

So the Spurs, who do a very good job of defending breakers and set-up shooters, are afraid of shooting with the ball and multi-point breakers.

In fact, not only in 2005, but also in the defensive strategy pursued by the Spurs in recent years. This is mainly the reason why he has been fighting with Kobe, James, Durant, and Westbrook in recent years.

And now there is another person to add to this list, and that is Sun Xiaotian!

The form that Sun Xiaotian has shown throughout the season is not like many rookie guards, who are either paranoid about shooting or about breakouts. Sun Xiaotian has a natural maturity, and the threat he poses with the ball is far more powerful than others think, coupled with his pull-up jump shot with the ball and the threat from beyond the three-point line, which has also become the reason why the Spurs have not been successful in defending the Finals.

……

Sun's scoring continued, and he relied on his breakthrough to create a kill, as well as a shot after the block, which once again dashed Popovich's desire to kill the game early.

With five minutes left in the game, Sun Xiaotian made a pull-up jump shot outside the three-point line on the right side to overtake the score again.

89-88, the Bulls lead by one point!

Under the leadership of Sun Xiaotian, the Bulls played a 13:5 offensive climax. Although the momentum has been ostensibly in favor of the Bulls, it is unclear how long this momentum will last.

Fans watched Sun Xiaotian score points again and again, but they didn't, and the offensive efficiency of paying attention to Sun Xiaotian was lower and lower quarter by quarter. In addition to having something to do with Sun Xiaotian's physical strength, this is also inseparable from the Spurs' defensive strategy. This defensive strategy of the Spurs will often lead to the consequence of winning statistics and losing games.

As some basketball wise men say: a good defender never seeks to kill someone one-on-one, but allows himself to influence the entire defensive system. It can also be applied to offense.

Good attackers don't go for how many points they can score, they want to be able to take away the game! (To be continued.) )
