Chapter Twenty-Five: Suffocating Defense
Li Ming doesn't care, he can afford to lose, he has nothing anyway, and he is still a base-salary player.
Lawson is looking for a starting point guard with an annual salary of tens of millions, and the imprint of the Nuggets has penetrated deep into his soul.
George Carr fulfilled him, and it can be said that he fulfilled George Carr. Karl's system requires a dynamic guard with an explosive body to attack the opposing team's basket.
"Don't be influenced by the factors on the field, and don't let others invade your heart. A good point guard is the brains of the team, the commander of the court, and he has to be calm at all times. Karl's tone was not heavy, but it was straightforward.
He's saying it to Lawson, and he's saying it to everyone, "The other side is going to let Zach and try to drag the pace of the game into their favorite mode, and I need you all to focus and play your own character." ”
"The ball must be fast, you must pass to the weak side, if you don't have a chance on the outside, you have to hit the basket, you have to take the initiative to find a confrontation, you have to take every opportunity to attack the basket, come on, boys." Karl watched the crowd silently.
On the Grizzlies' side, Hollins pulled Guy aside and whispered something, then turned to Conley, "You play without the ball in a while, let Bayless organize, you and Lee play without the ball, and go and consume them." ”
He picked up the board and drew it, "If Iguodala and Chandler on the flanks pounce or wrap up, then hoist the ball back into the interior and let Zach finish." ”
Hollins has a big head, Marc Gasol's injury has made his substitutions a little stretched, and the Grizzlies, who are not good at three-point shooting, lack of inside containment opportunities.
It was only thanks to a few sudden cold arrows from Bayless and Conley that they barely maintained the scene and did not get smeared.
The players re-entered, and sure enough, Georgial could not stand Lawson's nonsensical style of play and replaced him with Afflalo, continuing to strengthen the defense while removing Chandler.
It's not that Chandler didn't play well, it's just that Chandler has been fouled three times and needs to be protected, and he was replaced by a guard player, Jordan Hamilton. Of course, with him is our old fritter Andre Miller.
Wow, Jordan Hamilton, this name is even more awesome than Anthony Carter, this is too shameless.
Faried still hasn't gotten playing time, and now he still uses Gallinari to play as a center forward, which is the best way to consume the opponent Randolph.
On the offensive end, Gallinari's range can take Randolph off the basket.
Miller dribbled the ball safely to the frontcourt, Iguodala ran around the field, Gallinari received the ball through the cover, and Guy stood in front of him with his right hand outstretched.
Gallinari glanced at the basket and gave the ball to Afflalo, who quickly pasted it on, giving Afflaro no room to turn around. He was uncomfortable with the ball in this position and could only pass to Miller on the outside again.
Conley also kept his eye on Miller, giving him plenty of space to shoot, and Miller was never a three-pointer, even if he was a Wide Ope
, he also chose not to shoot, and kept a close eye on his teammates' runs while dribbling.
Suddenly, an acceleration squeezed Conley away, and he walked into the penalty area with two old legs.
"Wow grass, this is still here? It's too much. Li Ming let go of his defender and lunged at Miller, who made a posture of riding a horse and shooting arrows.
"Get me down." Li Ming lost his center of gravity under the full force of the block, and the whole person was heavily pressed on Miller. The two men were face to face, almost zero contact, and the air froze for three seconds......
The whistle blew, "Foul 7, two free throws." Crawford gestured toward the techno.
"He can't make it." Randolph walked up to Randolph and pounded his waist with his arm.
Randolph understood and made an OK gesture to him.
Miller started making free throws, the first free throw, there were, the second free throw, there was still ......
Wow grass, this wave of face brushing, it's all swollen......
Li Ming turned his head, wow, why is Afraro by his side, when did this kid come over, could it be that he knows that I am going to attack quickly?
Randolph served, and he had lost the opportunity to sneak attack, so he could only give Conley beside him a steady play.
Conley fed the ball to Guy as soon as he crossed the halfway line and Iguodala was on him again.
Wow grass, big brother, do you want to fight so hard, it's been all night, you let me die. The more Guy thought about it, the more angry he became, and forced himself against Iguodala's defense.
Hollins on the sidelines angrily kicked the pure water at his feet far away, and the rookies on the bench hurriedly picked up the water bottles, but they didn't dare to let Crawford see it, otherwise they should eat T (technical foul) again.
The ball smashed into the basket and bounced high, and Guy knew something was wrong after the shot, and had already rushed into the box, fighting with Gallinari for the rebound, and Iguodala joined in.
Just as everyone was fighting under the basket, "Oh no! A voice came from outside.
It turned out that a figure had quietly entered the basket, and at this moment it had jumped high, and this time it was clear that Li Ming, the No. 7 player in Huaxia!!
I saw him round a one-arm split dunk and press the ball into the basket.
"What are you doing, you have to stick to him, you can't let him slip into the inside like this." Faried, who was off the pitch, shouted at Avlalo.
Afflaro didn't speak, just shook his head and spread his hands, he was not to blame for the ball. Because at that time, Li Ming first took a big stride out to shake off his center of gravity, and when he wanted to change his direction, he had lost the best opportunity.
Basketball is like this, as long as a few tenths of a second is enough to get rid of the defense and complete the air cut, this is something that friends who have played on the field know.
Bayless began to lead the defense of Iguodala all over the court, but his body was so different from Iguodala that he flew away with a single tap.
However, he didn't really want to grab the ball, he just delayed a little and didn't let the track and field team's fast attack come out. After settling into position, he and Guy quickly switched defenses.
Iguodala is attacking this round, how can he break Guy's long arm? Van Gundy and Webb also wanted to know.
For a while, Gallinari, Avlaro and Jordan Hamilton moved, Afflaro mentioned the upper line to cover Iguodala, and Gallinari went to the bottom line on the other side.
"I have to say that this simple regional combination can see the change in the rebirth of George Carr's team." Van Gundy couldn't help but admire.
"Yes, the ball should be given to Gallinari on the weak side, and the Italian will complete a precise blow." Webb added.
However, it was not like that, Gallinari just took the opposition power forward away, and Iguodala went down and gave the ball to Aflalo, who bounced to the outside, in a double cover combination.
Whether it's the guy who goes down or the guy who bounces to the outside, you have to have a certain amount of long-range shooting ability.
Iguodala kept the defender out and bought a little time for Afflalo. But how could Conley tolerate such a thing happening to him? He desperately squeezed through the wall and leaped high.
"Wow grass, worthy of being a child of an athletic family, really tall, my brother." Li Ming was blocked by Jordan Hamilton and could only watch Afflaro shoot, and Conley's help defense made him feel very happy.
"This bounce, even with the blessing of the system, I am breathtaking." Li Ming looked enviously at Conley, who was jumping high. Apparently the shot was interfered with, and the rebound was picked up by Randolph again.
Randolph took a big stride, and with a long flick, Conley and Li Ming rushed out like two sharp blades, and the Nuggets reacted and quickly chased back. Iguodala quickly tangled up with Conley, who was already on the ball.
Conley leaped high again and made a pick-and-roll motion, and Iguodala didn't let it go, stretching his arms lightly and pressing down from behind him with a pair of long arms.
But just as he was about to touch the ball, the ball hit the ground and passed, and Li Ming, who followed up, easily sent the ball into the basket without almost any interference. In the air and Iguodala also came to a four-eye.
There is no way, no matter how good Iguodala is, it is impossible to prevent the two who jump at the same time, this ball is indeed very confusing, and it also benefits from Conley's selflessness.
If he chooses to force a layup at that time, he will likely be nailed, which will fuel the momentum of the home court.
