Chapter Seventy-Four: The Giant's Nightmare
,
Breaking, dividing the ball, blocking and dismantling, dividing the ball, Zhuang Fei shook his fist fiercely off the court after Pierce scored the goal, it is one thing to formulate before the game, and it is another thing to be able to show the formulation in the game. Judging from this ball, the Trail Blazers players obviously didn't realize this change in the Timberwolves, or they paid too much attention to Garnett and Lewis, but forgot that there was also Pierce, Pierce was the main point of attack after the opening, Garnett and Lewis were feints, or maybe Dunleavy underestimated Pierce's ability and overestimated Grant's ability.
Even Zhuang Fei didn't think that Pierce could break through Grant one after another before the game, Zhuang Fei meant to create more one-on-one opportunities for Pierce to play big, I didn't expect Pierce to play so easily, you must know that although Grant has 2.06 meters, he is not bad in all aspects, not to mention that he is still a veteran who has been fighting for many years, and he is absolutely excellent in terms of experience, awareness and ability, no wonder Dunleavy will be overconfident in his ability.
Of course, Garnett's pass through the half court is also very beautiful, Garnett is very comprehensive, especially in terms of offensive skills, passing, ball control is very skillful, if the ball is passed to Lewis just now, there will be a mistake.
"A very unexpected offensive cooperation, Garnett realized that his teammates had better chances than himself, this pass was so beautiful, even Grant, who defended Pierce, was a little stunned, the ball flew from the corner of his eye to Pierce's hand, but this little stunned made him pay a huge price, and Pierce easily completed the back dunk"
"The Timberwolves' first few offenses are all playing fast points, and it is also the interior players who pull the opposing defense, and the outside players compress the opponent's defense, this offensive mode will make it difficult for the team with the giants' interior line, what should Sabonis do now, what should McDonleavy do now?"
"I think Mr. Dunleavy should be racking his brains right now, the Timberwolves have shown a desire for this game right now, they won't give up easily, this game is just getting started, let's see how the two head coaches can change."
Amid the shouts of Timberwolves fans, Dunleavy struggled to keep his cool thoughts in this chaotic environment.
"Damn Chinese" Dunleavy cursed secretly, he was already ready to use Wallace to defend Garnett, and then give up defending Dean Garrett, but Garrett's non-play disrupted all his plans. He can't give up the defense of any Timberwolves player because every Timberwolves player on the floor has a strong offense.
"Do you want to him" Dunleavy looked at his bench, and Jermaine O'Neal sat there calmly, without joy or sorrow.
"Let's wait," Dunleavy sighed and shook his head slowly.
"Kevin, that's a beautiful pass," Pierce said with a sincere compliment as he passed by Garnett.
"Haha, Paul, do you see that your name is being shouted on the stage, it is you who are more beautiful" Garnett's eyes darkened after laughing, this season Pierce completely replaced his place in the hearts of fans and became the new favorite of the Timberwolves, although his huge contract influence is only in the industry, but many extreme fans also imposed the responsibility for the team's disintegration on his greed, which also made Pierce immediately suddenly replace his position among fans, Fans have chanted Pierce's name and ignored him at almost every game this season, and now the fans have not forgiven him. He hasn't played a match for his value either.
The Trail Blazers' current main point of attack on the interior is Sabonis, which is a major reason why Dunleavy did not replace him, and Rasheed Wallace is not there now.
But right away, Dunleavy was stunned by the Timberwolves.
The Trail Blazers, who were scored by the Timberwolves again, didn't say anything, this group of players are all seasoned players, and although they hate the strong opening of the Timberwolves, they still have their own rhythm.
But when they attacked at their own pace, they suddenly found that the bridgehead was no longer working.
"What are the Timberwolves doing? How could Garnett be out of position so casually? Garnett of the Timberwolves circled in front of Sabonis," Michaels said in surprise, it shouldn't be like this between centers, right? This dislocation can be dangerous.
After Damon Stoudemire waited for Sabonis to settle down, he actually found that Garnett cut off the frontal passing route between himself and Sabonis, which made him stunned, this is the first time such a situation has occurred, but as an experienced point guard, he quickly found a way to solve this problem, and he was a little glad in his heart, Garnett's defense is out of position, a big taboo, as long as Sabonis receives the ball, there is a large gap behind.
Dunleavy on the sidelines thought the same as Stoudemire, this Garnett is too nonsense, do you think he has succeeded by cutting off the front pass to Sabonis? Don't forget, there are also the sides.
In order to grab time, Stoudemire didn't have time to return to Garnett, and he didn't look at it immediately, and quickly threw the ball to Grant, the striker on the same side as Sabonis, as long as Grant received the ball and passed the ball to Sabonis, then Sabonis was instantly without a defender in front of him.
But these images did not appear in his imagination, because Grant did not receive the ball at all, and when Stoudemire finished passing the ball and Grant was about to receive it, a large hand broke the ball from the middle.
"It's too easy, it's too easy, the coach is really god, this can be expected" Pierce was always preparing to break Stoudemire's pass, which was ordered by Zhuang Fei before the game. I didn't expect it to be exactly the same as what the coach said, and Stoudemire would really share the ball so thoughtlessly.
"The defense around the front is not only around the center, if only around the center, then it is stupid, the most important step around the front is to prevent the forward on the same side as the center from receiving the ball, Pierce around the front Grant, Garnett around the front Sabonis needs to take care of both sides" Zhuang Fei looked at the field galloping away Pierce said excitedly. Defending around the front is not a one-on-one center, but a collective defensive behavior in which players and outside teammates work together around the center. This requires that the forward defender on the same side as the opponent's center must also go around at the same time, as long as the opponent's forward line cannot receive the ball, then the opponent's center will also lose the source of the ball, not in the front, not on the side.
Now many teams in the NBA are facing such a giant center is also a double front around, this kind of double front is also to block the front and side pass routes of the center, they use a double bag clip, directly wrap the center, so that although the center is contained, but it exposes an offensive player, and the bag is always a way to do it.
Zhuang Fei's change cut off the receiving route of the opponent's center without wrapping, and the effect is definitely much more powerful than the so-called double pinch.
Perhaps Zhuang Fei uses it like this, and the cháo flow of the NBA defensive center will be changed.
"Oh, it's Pierce again, Pierce scored four points in a row, the Timberwolves got off to a strong start, the Trail Blazers were stunned, they're all watching in disbelief now, no one is chasing Pierce, Pierce's easy windmill dunk"
"Listen, the stands are full of fans shouting Paul Pearce, he is the brightest star now" ABC's on-site commentator Michaels shouted passionately, this game was too unexpected, the powerful Trail Blazers were actually restrained at the beginning, the Timberwolves seem to be a well-prepared division, and the enemy is the first everywhere, while the Trail Blazers, on the other hand, are stable and have not changed a little, which also makes them easily caught by the Timberwolves.
Michaels couldn't help but look at the bench on the side of the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei was still standing there like that, this Chinese coach was really powerful.
McDonleavy opened his mouth wide and stared dumbfounded at Pierce's speeding back, he was now in a state of confusion.
"Was it an accident? Or was it premeditated? If this tactic is really a premeditated plan by this Chinese, then it is terrible, this tactic is definitely a nightmare for a giant center with a height of more than 220"
"If this tactic becomes widespread across the league, what will Sabonis do? What about the Trailblazers?" McDonleavy is now in a cold sweat behind his back, and for him, the outcome of this game is no longer the most important thing, and he is now already preparing how to deal with this forward strategy.
"This Chinese is terrible" Dunleavy looked at Zhuang Fei, who was not far from him, and he put this Chinese to a very high height for the first time.
"Zhuang, you won again" D'Antoni looked at the smiling young man in front of him with a little jealousy, and felt a burst of annoyance for no reason, players have geniuses, coaches also have geniuses, thinking of himself and Zhuang Fei, this is when he was a player, compared with Magic Johnson. It's a world of difference.
