Chapter 578: Jordan's Law
Before the game began, Eagles head coach Mike Woodson had already laid out defensive tactics for the players, and it was very clear and determined not to contain Chen Jiyuan.
Chen Jiyuan's passing ability has long been unquestionable. As an interior player, on the premise of averaging 30+ per game, he can also deliver 4+ assists, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Looking at the big men in the entire league, the one who can do this may be Garnett, and it has to be said that Garnett, who was at the peak of the past few years.
Therefore, it is also correct to choose not to include Chen Jiyuan, but it is so firm, and from the beginning, it is said that the whole audience will not be sandwiched, and it is not only considered from Chen Jiyuan alone.
Mike Woodson has his own ideas. The Knicks have no shortage of shooters now, whether it's Curry, Iguodala, or Stephen Jackson on the outside. Not to mention being able to shoot three-pointers, and the shooting rate is above 30 percent, Iguodala is a bit of an unstable outside shooter, but Iguodala is a player who can shoot and pass. In Philadelphia, because Philadelphia's positioning itself is not right, Iguodala is not suitable to be a leader of a team. Once you have lifted the burden of a leader player, you will see what kind of level Iguodala has shown.
At Nix, you really can't ignore the existence of Iguodala the person, one might even say. I'd rather lose Stephen Jackson, who looks better than ever, and Chen Jiyuan is absolutely unwilling to lose Iguodala.
Although the numbers may not be very impressive, Iguodala is the bridge that connects the whole team.
In fact, Chen Jiyuan feels that Iguodala is like the Knicks' Master Kong. Master Kong's pit goods are not enough to eat in one bag, and you can't eat in two bags. Iguodala is the same, the opponent arranges one person to defend is a bit insufficient, and it is obviously too much to arrange two people to wrap up.
It is because of the current outside situation of the Knicks that Mike Woodson chose to use the Jordan Rule. Resolute single defense Chen Jiyuan, no matter how many points Chen Jiyuan scores, as long as the Hawks can win, then Mike Woodson feels that he will not lose. It's even very profitable.
Jordan's rule is simply a strategy of the Pistons against the Bulls back then: use various methods to defend Jordan, do everything, and when you can't prevent Jordan, you will "let Jordan" and defend the other 4 people, even if Jordan has more and the 4 people score very low, the Bulls still lose. Of course, the Pistons said that they would "let Jordan go", but in fact, they let a person use up the "one qiē method" to complete the defense against "God", that is, at any cost or even a foul to disrupt Jordan's offensive rhythm, so that Jordan could not score well and attack. Fifteen years ago, Ranbir and Mahon were faithful followers of the "Jordan" rule.
At the heart of Jordan's Law are two seemingly contradictory tenets:
1. "Death Defense Jordan".
Multi-layered, multi-means, and one-of-a-kind efforts could disrupt Jordan's offensive rhythm and cut him off from his teammates;
2. "Let go of Jordan".
I really couldn't prevent Jordan, so I let him score, but completely choked the other point, and Jordan couldn't win no matter how many points he scored.
Today, Mike Woodson is clearly intent on using the second core of Jordan's Rule. let Chen Jiyuan score infinitely, but cut off the connection between Chen Jiyuan and his teammates, and the dead defense caught four people other than Chen Jiyuan.
And this is also in view of the Hawks' current defensive advantage.
The Hawks have a lot of swing forwards, Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, and Joe Johnson are actually guys who can play at the second, third and fourth positions.
Therefore, compared with preventing Chen Jiyuan, it is better to prevent the other four people to give full play to the advantages of the team's players.
That's why Mike Woodson chose to do it. Let Al Horford defend Chen Jiyuan by himself, as long as Al Horford does his best to defend.
The other four were dead following the others. Especially the three people on the perimeter, Curry, Iguodala, and Stephen Jackson. Ibaka is better, so far, after Ibaka entered the league, he has shown more power on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, the threat is really limited, unless Ibaka receives the basketball under the basket and then dunks directly.
Ibaka hasn't developed a very accurate shot like he did in later generations.
Mike Woodson's choice of tactic is not wrong, but it can only be unlucky. Today, Chen Jiyuan's hand feels very good. And with Mike Woodson's defensive tactical options, the two are combined. The consequence is the result of how much Mike Woodson wishes he had crossed over. Mike Woodson was hopeful to get back to where the game started, but that was clearly out of the question.
After Chen Jiyuan hit the first shot with his back to jump, the Hawks attacked, and after Bibby dribbled the ball through the half, he chose to pass the ball to Joe Johnson.
Joe Johnson singles Andre Iguodala. Face frame, Joe Johnson dribbles under the crotch in succession. When Joe Johnson plays singles in the face frame, he always likes continuous crotch dribbling, and Joe Johnson's crotch dribble is still helpful in breaking through, because the crotch, with a change in rhythm, a careless, take advantage of the opponent's center of gravity rhythm not to keep up, there is an opportunity. Joe Johnson is a very strong swingman at the No. 2 or No. 3 position, and if there is one thing that has been criticized, it is that he has always made very few free throws. In other words, he obviously has a strong body that has a huge advantage in the second position, and he will not take advantage of this to get a foul.
Joe Johnson has more shots, which has led to Joe Johnson's shooting percentage not being very high. Even in the playoffs, there was a 38.7 percent shooting percentage and a 22 percent three-point shooting percentage.
Iguodala is very defensive, Joe Johnson has a hard time finding good opportunities, and can only take a step back to the left, forcing a little chance that is not a chance, but Iguodala has always been in front of Joe Johnson without losing his defensive position.
This ball, Joe Johnson shot wide with Iguodala's interference. If it weren't for this step-back step and the backward movement, this ball, Iguodala would have been properly blocked.
Although Al Horford on the inside wanted to scramble for this rebound, how could Chen Jiyuan give him this opportunity.
The butt arches, then jumps, and the ball is controlled with the left hand.
At the first moment of landing, he passed the ball directly to Curry, who was waiting for the ball on the right sideline, and Curry quickly pushed forward with the ball to see if there was a chance for a fast break.
But alas, the Eagles are doing a good job of retreating, because their players don't have bulky and slow players. So the team's mobility is better than any team.
Curry could only slow down the tempo. Wait for your teammates to pass half.
Chen Jiyuan was very easy to hit the ball before, so he reached out here to ask for the ball.
Chen Jiyuan received Curry's pass again in the low post on the left side.
It's still the back-to-back singles for Al Horford, but this time it's on the left.
Chen Jiyuan arched his back twice, feeling that Al Horford's defensive intensity this time seemed to be stronger than before.
In fact, this is because Mike Woodson on the sidelines was very dissatisfied with Al Horford's defense of the ball just now, so he yelled at Al Horford and the head coach went crazy. Al Horford, of course, has to play with his life.
However, Chen Jiyuan saw that Al Horford's strength was very strong, so he bumped it again.
Then very quickly, with the strength of Al Horford, he turned around nicely, turned to the baseline, and jumped directly, and on the other side, Josh Smith was also a bouncing superman. And the defensive awareness is very good, seeing Chen Jiyuan pass Al Horford, the first reaction is to come over to make up for the defense.
After Chen Jiyuan turned around, he directly collected the ball, and took three steps together. Jump up directly and prepare for a violent buckle.
Josh Smith took two steps forward and jumped as well, knowing that the ball would be difficult to defend but if he was worried about becoming a back. Jing, he gave up the ball that could be defended. That's not Josh Smith's character.
Chen Jiyuan and Josh Smith were both on the ground, and they were fully prepared to take off. So this air collision can be said to be Mars hitting the Earth.
Josh Smith's strength is also quite strong.
When Al Horford turned around, that voice made Al Horford suddenly admire his team's non-trivial power forward - this is more daring!
However, although Josh Smith was already desperate to block the ball, Chen Jiyuan grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand and dodged Josh Smith's block.
Across Josh Smith, Chen Jiyuan directly pressed the ball into the basket.
After a strong impact just now, Josh Smith landed a little unstable in his center of gravity. After all, the impact of Chen Jiyuan's three major strides was very strong. Josh Smith accidentally fell to the ground after he landed.
After Chen Jiyuan landed safely.
Face the audience. Hammer yourself in the chest violently.
“Come.On,Baby!”
Towards the audience at home, Chen Jiyuan began to "demonstrate".
Chen Jiyuan's shout, in exchange for the boos of the home fans, was naturally the boos. Chen Jiyuan never tries to please the so-called away audience. Chen Jiyuan is here to kick the butt of the home player. Naturally, I don't mean to be able to make the fans at home like me.
After venting, I saw that the Eagles were ready to serve.
Chen Jiyuan also quickly retreated to his half court to prepare to defend.
