Chapter 349: Anthony's Rotation
In the second quarter of the game, the lineup sent by D'Antoni, New York fans can basically guess, the mustache likes to rotate the team fixedly, no matter which team he plays against, it is basically a routine. So sometimes it happens, a strange incident like a seven-man rotation or even a six-man rotation, because someone is injured, but the mustache is still unwilling to make adjustments.
D'Antoni is stubborn and does not like to change once things are confirmed, the player he hates, even if the player gets better in training, the mustache does not give him a chance.
Knicks Second Quarter Bench Lineup: Tylawson, Marcus. Thorton, Carl. Landry, Channing. Fry, Yao Ming.
Celtic bench lineup, Nate. Robinson, Tony. Aaron, Marquis. Daniels, Rashid. Wallace, Perkins.
Nate. As soon as Robinson came up, with the help of Perkins' pick-and-roll, he changed direction at high speed and broke through Thai. Lawson.
The idea of this little frog and the Knyon's Kenyon. Martin is very similar, and when the old champion sees Randolph, it is like a chicken blood every time. Nate, who has a terrible character. Robinson, of course he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhang Yu, but people would pick up soft persimmons and pinch them. Lawson, this little frog will also try his best to blow up Ty. Lawson, to prove that it was a big mistake for the Knicks not to leave themselves.
Great. Lawson's personality will be relatively low-key and introverted, but this small man is also very bloody on the court, and the Knicks' rookie also has this idea in his heart.
"You want to up? I don't want to blow you up and prove that the Knicks are not wrong. ”
Nate. Robinson broke through with the help of cover. Hit a mid-range pullup jump shot.
Great. Lawson didn't react much on his face, but in his heart he was thinking about bringing Nate . Robinson returned the ball.
The Knicks' tactics in the second quarter were originally supposed to focus on Yao Ming's singles in the low post, and as long as there was an opportunity, the basketball should be handed over to the little giants who were in place in the low post. But the little giant knows how to be sophisticated. He could guess some of the Ty. Lawson's thoughts, so this ball he did not want to be in the low post, but came to the upper line to take the initiative and Tai. Lawson does the pick-and-roll coordination.
Yao Ming's quality of cover is not inferior to that of Parkinson's on the opposite side. Lawson used Yao Ming's cover to kill directly into the penalty area.
Nate. Robinson was blocked by Yao Ming, Parkinson's anti-blocking ability is very headache, his large tonnage limits his footsteps, and it is impossible to have much good anti-blocking ability. It's basically the same as Yao Ming, and it hurts when I see the block!
Great. Lawson made his way into the box and faced a slow-paced Rashid. Wallace. Hit the basket quickly and hit the blue ball before the block of the roaring Tianzun.
D'Antoni didn't react much to the ball off the court, but Thibodeau thought to himself: Yao Ming's pick-and-roll defense has always been an unsolvable problem, and his flaw makes it difficult for the Rockets to face teams with excellent pick-and-roll. tends to be passive. In previous seasons, the Rockets have been the Jazz's bitter leader in the playoffs for two consecutive years, precisely because the Jazz are one of the league's best teams at blocking and offensive.
The opposite Celtics head coach, Rivers and D'Antoni didn't see this, Rivers was worried about his own offensive problems, and his mind was full of how to solve the problems caused by the aging of the Big Three, and he had no energy to pay attention to other things.
As for D'Antoni, the mustache didn't think about the defensive problem at all, and if he couldn't prevent it, he would fight back.
Although Rivers did not make a specific arrangement. But Nate. Robinson continued to block and cooperate with Perkins and Roaring Tianzun on the court.
Perkins doesn't have much offensive ability, and Nate doesn't have much offensive ability. Robinson and Perkins' pick-and-roll combination lacked the return pass. You can only attack on your own, so the threat is not too big. But Nate. Robinson and Rashid. Wallace's blocking and dismantling cooperation exerted a power that even the parties involved could not imagine.
Nate. Robinson has a bad character, but his speed is excellent, and his ability to break through and attack the basket with the dribble is better than Rajan's. Rondo, although many have questioned his style of play is too independent, but don't forget that he played for a year with the Knicks, and D'Antoni is the coach who is the best at developing position. So this little green-skinned frog learned how to play pick-and-roll coordination in the Knicks, and he didn't change much, and after breaking through, he either shot himself or passed to his pick-and-roll partner, and this was enough to deal with the clumsy Yao Ming.
Yao Ming has the same problem as Perkins, with a body of more than 300 pounds, and his tall body makes his pace unusually slow, which is not a problem only for him, O'Neal even in his prime, he still has the defect of poor anti-blocking and dismantling; The Cavaliers' Lithuanian also looked powerless against the Knicks' pick-and-roll last season; There are very few perfect things in this world, if you have strengths, you must have flaws, and a good coach will catch the flaws of your opponents.
In the second quarter of the bench period, the Knicks usually used the play of Yao Ming and others to open up the score with the opponent, but today they fell behind the opponent.
Great. Lawson and Nate. Robinson's direct conversation, the more experienced Nate. Robinson eventually won, and although the little frog didn't win much, he did win after all.
8 minutes and 30 seconds in the second quarter, the score was 34:35, and Nate was 34:35. Robinson scored six points in the space of a few minutes. Lawson, on the other hand, scored just four points. What made D'Antoni frown a little was that Rashid. Wallace also scored four points during the period, which made even the mustache feel as if something was wrong.
Rashid. Wallace originally only scored two points, and he still relied on picking up leaks, but during the second quarter, he and Nate Brown. Robinson's pick-and-roll coordination was impressive.
Rivers finally thought at this time, when Yao Ming was on the court, maybe it would be a good way to use the pick-and-roll to deal with the Knicks. Robinson's ability to play pick-and-rolls is good, Rajan. Rondo also has the ability to do the same, and his breakaway shots are far better than Nate's. Robinson, if paired with Garnett, Ray Allen, Pierce. Maybe it will be a bigger blow to the Knicks.
There was a timeout on both sides and some changes were made to the lineup.
D'Antoni replaced Zhang Yu and Wallace on the court, and the Knicks' on-court lineup became: Tate. Lawson. ZHANG Yu,Gerald. Wallace, Channing. Fry, Yao Ming.
The Celtics lineup has also changed, and the on-court lineup has become: Nate. Robinson, Ray. Aaron, Marquis. Daniels, Rashid. Wallace, Perkins.
Rivers didn't immediately bring on Garnett and Pierce, Nate. Robinson and Rashid. Wallace's table xiàn is good. This is the time to let them play on the field for a little longer.
After Zhang Yu came on the court, he also began to play the blocking and dismantling tactics they were good at. Lawson began to hand the ball to their boss. This red rabbit.
The Knicks have the same blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, and the covering candidates are the same. Lawson is different, and the Red Rabbit's breakthrough is even more dangerous. The most critical thing is. His ability to divide the ball is better than that of the little green frog on the opposite side and Ty. Lawson is much better.
Zhang Yu and Yao Ming blocked and killed near the free throw line, at this time he did not rush to the end in one breath, but first had a pause, disrupting the defensive footsteps of the defenders, and then changed direction, and once again used Yao Ming as a cover to easily break through Lei. Allen's defense, creating a small one-on-one opportunity in the penalty area.
Parkinson saw Zhang Yu dribbling in front of him. I knew I was going to be finished!
The Celtics' big fat guess was right, Zhang Yu did not give the other players of the Green Shirts a chance to help defend. Simply broke through Perkins neatly, took advantage of the time difference in the penalty area, and easily scored two points on the board.
Yao Ming and Zhang Yu have a very tacit understanding after blocking and dismantling this time, and in the process of going down, when Zhang Yu stopped at the free throw line, he once again helped the red rabbit block the thunder of the defense. Alan.
The Knicks' pick-and-roll this time was matched with a slow-motion replay, and even the Green Shirts fans couldn't help but want to give a round of applause to the two Chinese teammates.
Of course, they will endure it, and applauding the enemy is the most stupid act.
The Knicks' blocking and dismantling offense played aggressively, but the Celtics' blocking and dismantling cooperation was inhibited by the Knicks, Yao Ming's blocking and dismantling was not good, but Zhang Yu and Wallace were both excellent players in blocking and dismantling, they could keep up with their defenders, and they didn't need Yao Ming to delay them, so that Yao Ming's anti-blocking and dismantling loopholes were mostly filled.
D'Antoni sees Nate on the sidelines. Robinson put aside his worries after two unsuccessful shots after both pick-and-rolls.
Rivers saw that it was not good, and quickly changed his main lineup.
At 7:10, Rivers added a new spin to Nate Anderson. Robinson and Rashid. Wallace came off and re-replaced Rajan. Rondo and Kevin Garnett, along with Paul. Pierce, the Celtics Big Four reappeared on the field.
Although the Celtics' lineup has changed, Rivers still intends to use pick-and-roll tactics, and when the Big Four are all on the court, he wants to know if he can beat the Knicks with pick-and-roll.
But the tragedy happened, the Celtics just made a substitution, and the Knicks also made substitution adjustments. Lawson was temporarily replaced by D'Antoni to rest, and the Knicks were replaced by Kenyon. Martin, Dujon, and Birdman Anderson.
The Knicks' on-court lineup became, and Chris. Du Hong,Zhang Yu,Gerard. Wallace, Kenyon. Martin, Birdman Anderson.
D'Antoni's substitution was not very inscrutable, nor was it prescient, it was purely a rotation for the sake of rotation because the time was up.
To put it simply, the mustache has already arranged a certain amount of playing time for each of these players, no matter whether your performance is good or bad, we will change them when the time comes.
Knicks fans have had a lot of criticism of D'Antoni's rotation since the beginning of last season, and the media in New York have criticized D'Antoni's rotation strategy from time to time, but the mustache is very stubborn, how to rotate or how to rotate, anyway, the team has a good record.
Of course, D'Antoni's rotation strategy is not set in stone, but if you look carefully after the game, even if his rotation order is adjusted, the playing time of these players will not change much in the end.
Zhang Yu's playing time is 40 minutes, so no matter when he plays and when he gets off, his playing time in the end is still 40 minutes; The same is true for Yao Ming, whose playing time is accused of being less than 30 minutes, so no matter how many minutes he plays in a given quarter, the final playing time will still not exceed 30 minutes.
