It's a shame.
"Whoosh!"
Curry had his own thoughts in his heart, looking at the court, Lowry's wonderful pass was sent to Chen Mu's hands, and the fans were excited and looking forward to it, but Curry was a little unmotivated.
Yes, Chen Mu is the core of the Philadelphia 76ers, and this opportunity just now was good, and Chen Mu's position is quite deep. Lowry grasped the moment before the Celtics' encirclement was completely formed and sent a subtle pass, whether it was the passing technique or the choice of passing route, there was nothing wrong with it.
From a traditional point guard's point guard perspective, Lowry's selection was almost perfect.
But......
"Bang, bang, bang"
Chen Mu began to play with his back under the basket, and after the last attack of the half, Chen Mu naturally caused the whole Celtics team to be nervous after taking the ball. Except for the defender in the farthest corner on the weak side, the other four took half a step inside at almost the same time, and a huge pocket formation was about to form.
The Celtics still adopt the strategy of Perkins behind the top defense, Garnett in front of the bread in front, and then the outside players back to make up for the leaks. After Chen Mu dribbled the ball three times, all the Celtics players in the court had already looked at Chen Mu with both eyes and pounced frantically.
From a high place, on the court at this time, Chen Mu was like a star, or a black hole. The Celtics players were nearby stars, attracted by Chen Mu's huge black hole, and all of them sprinted to the basket.
"Chen Mu's gravity."
Barkley had an idea and said quite proudly: "This is the gravitational force of Chen Mu on the court, if you use it well, the tactical significance is very huge." ”
That's right.
Sitting on the commentary podium on the sidelines of such an important game, Curry was still a little nervous. Didn't say it directly.
But in his heart, Curry agrees with Barkley's views.
The so-called star gravity generally means that when a superstar has a one-on-one attack power that far exceeds all other players in a certain position, as long as he takes the ball in that position, almost all players on the other side will be attracted.
This attraction. It may be tactical, in order to deal with this superstar in a targeted manner, so that he can't rest assured of singles, strategies, scores, and assists. For example, the current Celtics are typical of tactical "being attracted".
There are also non-tactical ones, but the pressure of the game situation. Just like what the opponent did in the previous game where Chen Mu scored a high score:
They don't necessarily really want to spend so much effort to defend Chen Mu, they would rather let Chen Mu score and strangle the other players in Philadelphia.
But when the game came to that point, Chen Mu only needed to score as soon as he got the ball. When no one can prevent it. The players on the field will naturally be completely attracted and involuntarily walk in the direction where Chen Mu is.
In either case, the gravitational pull of the star will cause the opposition to be defence-scrambled, allowing other players to get more opportunities. On the side with superstars, the coach just needs to do a good job of setting up and using tactical details. Let the superstar smoothly distribute the ball, and the attack can be easily completed.
That's where the gravitational pull of a star comes in.
Chen Mu. Now it has its own star gravity. As long as he takes the ball under the basket and turns his back, even if it is a historical defensive team of the Celtics, he can only succumb to Chen Mu's gravitational pull and shrink to the limit of the defense under the basket.
In this way, the outer line is empty.
There are so many empty seats......
Seeing Chen Mu being surrounded and suppressed under the basket, he suddenly turned around and raised his hands high. Looks like it's going to attack the basket. After attracting the four Celtics players to almost stick to Chen Mu's body, they pointed back, and the basketball flew to the outside.
Curry was drooling.
Kyle Lowry, absolutely empty at the top of the arc.
Rodney Carney, half-empty in the bottom corner of the strong side. As long as Lowry catches the ball and attracts the bottom corner defender. Pass the ball again and it will become an absolute vacancy.
Andrea Iguodala, 45 degree angle on the weak side is absolutely empty.
Milicic ...... Well, forget about that.
"There are empty seats for all three! MYBOY is out! Take a look at who it is for...... Lowry catches the ball, do you want to throw ......? Hesitated, hesitated! Lowry didn't shoot and still didn't seem confident enough in his three-pointers. In the final minute, Lowry passed the ball to Iguodala for a three-point ...... Miss! Half time is over! ”
What a pity......
As Smith shouted, Curry's head was about to break next to him.
The Philadelphia 76ers' system is great, and Curry has seen it. In order to maximize Chen Mu's role, that is, to maximize the use of "Chen Mu's gravity", Carlisle has made a lot of hard work.
From the timing and position of Chen Mu to get the ball, and then the running position of other players, cross transposition, no ball cover; to the direction of Chen Mu's turn, the direction of the players who cooperate with him, and the follow-up choices after passing the ball with one hand, to deal with ......
Almost everything, the Philadelphia 76ers did something close to perfect.
The only thing that wasn't perfect was the last shot.
That shot, the Philadelphia 76ers, there was no way to grasp it.
"It's a pity for the last attack! Charles, do you remember how Philadelphia would play the last offensive when Kyle was there? ”
Kenny Smith asked, looking back.
"Of course I remember that the typical off-ball screen on the weak side is cut outside. If Kyle had been there, the last attack would have been when Chan was outside, and Kyle went inside from the bottom corner of the weak side and cut outside. Coming near the top of the arc, Lowry will get out of the way and go to the strong side. The other outside informants will be delayed, running clockwise around the half, and Milicic will cover the passers-by on the baseline. ”
Barkley made a comparison while talking, and what he said was relatively clear, so that fans who don't know much about basketball tactics can also listen to it.
"It's a beautiful tactic that stretches a lot on the normal inside and outside line tactics. Chen has a lot of options for the ball, which is theoretically difficult to defend. ”
"yes, it's a pity, without Kyle, the most critical three-point threat point is gone, it's really ......"
Smith shook his head and sighed in agreement, halfway through. As if he suddenly remembered that there was such a guest as Curry, he looked back at Curry with some embarrassment and said with a smile:
"Stephen, you're a marksman, and like me, you're going to feel sorry for this kind of opportunity to slip through your fingertips. If you have OCD like Reggie Miller. will also go to the same position after the game to pull his teammates to run again to enjoy the tactics. ”
"Haha, I've heard this rumor." Curry smiled, his schoolboy-like face full of curiosity and asked, "Is this true?" Is Reggie Miller really obsessive-compulsive to this point?? ”
"It's fake, he made it up by himself and put gold on himself." Barkley said indignantly.
"Hahaha, leave him alone as always." Smith smiled and said, "What about you?" How did you feel about Philadelphia's last attack just now? ”
"It's very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable."
Curry has known Smith since he was a child, and speaking of which, Dale Curry and Kenny Smith. They are all famous shooters in the eighties and nineties, and they have a good relationship with each other. During the game, Smith and Curry had many opportunities to meet, and it was often possible to see this little ghost watching the game from the sidelines with his father.
At this time, my father's old friend asked a question in the national live broadcast, and Curry answered honestly: "It's a pity that Philadelphia missed too many open three-point opportunities." ”
"Uh...... Too much ......?? ”
Smith was a little unsure about the last attack just now. A full shot means that Lowry hesitated and missed that three-point opportunity at the top of the arc. Losing an opportunity can't be considered "too much", right......?
"Oh, my bad."
Curry reacted, waved his hand and said, "I mean, not just the last offense, the whole first half. Philadelphia have missed too many open three-point opportunities. ”
"It's really a lot, I just counted it, not to mention anything else, relying on 'Chen Mu's gravity' to attract defense, and then got the 'should have shot' empty three-point opportunity. There are at least 6 of them. ”
Kenny Smith deserved to be a professional commentator, looking at the data he had at hand, with the data recorded casually during the game, Zhengse said: "If Philadelphia can shoot two of these six three-pointers with a three-to-three shooting rate, then the score of the two sides will be tied now, and Philadelphia will not fall behind by six points at halftime." ”
"And if Philadelphia had grasped it better and made three three-pointers with a 50% shooting percentage, Philadelphia would have overtaken the score."
"You can't do that straightforward, but you're right."
Barkley nodded: "These opportunities are absolute chances, Philadelphia are a little too nervous outside the three-point line right now, and they feel like they can't shoot." The more hesitation, the more time is left for the Celtics to adjust their defense. Then there is a vicious circle, and the situation gets worse and worse. ”
"You're both sharpshooters, and you probably don't have the same understanding of open space as I do, and you know my three-point shot isn't very reliable." Barkley continued: "Kenny, you said you counted six 'should or no' three-point chances, and I was counting them, but I only counted four. ”
"Well, you're not a shooter, and it's a little bit more difficult for you to catch the ball and shoot threes or that. For shooters like us, as long as the first half of the shot is made and the defender doesn't stick it to his face, it can be considered an absolute vacancy. But you're different, and a little distraction can affect your accuracy. ”
Smith understood, looked back at Curry and said, "You said yes, Stephen." ”
"Uh...... Yes...... Right? ”
For some reason, Curry seemed a little unsure, and his face was a little embarrassed.
“…… Well? What's wrong? Smith noticed something strange about Curry and asked, "Is what you calculated different from what I calculated?" How many absolute vacancies have you counted? Heptad? Eight? ”
"Well, it's not the same......
Curry nodded, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said shyly: "On the Philadelphia side in the first half, I calculated twelve absolute openings outside the three-point line. ”
