Chapter 34: The King of Gold-level Pitchers!
With the analysis of an outstanding assistant like Steve Clifford, Du Kang has a more intuitive understanding of the Heat, the strongest team in the NBA.
Defensive counterattack run boom, the combination of Jordan Bulls and Nash Suns, when you are not serious, it is to tease you, get serious, and push it over directly in a wave, and no one can stop it.
In today's NBA, no team can restrain them, and no team can beat them in a series and win them, all but pray God forbid.
A team that makes opponents desperate very much.
After Steve Clifford's analysis, Dukang finally understood why the teaming up of James, Wade and Chris Bosh would cause an uproar among so many professionals in the NBA.
At the same time, Du Kang also understands why after the Mavericks won the championship in 2011, Nowitzki's reputation in the NBA and American basketball professional circles rushed directly from the sewer to heaven.
Although the 2011 Heat is far from being the opponent of the 2013 Heat, it is still a miracle to be able to beat them.
In short, in the current NBA, whether it is the Heat in 2011 or the current Heat, as long as anyone can beat them in the playoffs or the Finals, who can become a god!
Judging by Clifford's desperate analysis, this is no joke.
Dukang ended the team's three-man meeting and returned to the hotel in the lower tower to prepare for the next game and the Heat's simulation.
After having a certain understanding of the heat, Du Kang has a more goal and a clearer idea when he does the simulation setting.
First of all, the choice of tactical system.
The Heat's system is a run-and-shoot that defends the counterattack, so the Lakers need to reduce their turnovers and reduce their speed.
The Lakers will definitely not be able to beat the Heat.
Therefore, to fight the Heat, the system must choose the system of positional warfare!
Secondly, Clifford said that it is the big center who is good at offense and defense to restrain the Heat, so the first point of attack in the simulation must be Howard.
The Lakers only have Howard as the Heat's point of inadequacy, Haslem is too short, and Chris Bosh is too soft for Howard.
As for Yi Jianlian and Kobe......
Yi Jianlian has Bosh to match.
Bryant's words...... On the opposite side there are James, Wade, Ray Allen, Battier......
Let Kobe be the main attacker, it will be too difficult for Kobe, this game has to tire Kobe to death.
I have to say that Clifford, a senior assistant coach who has been with the Van Gundy brothers for more than ten years, is really not covered.
Although he did not formulate a strategy to defeat the Heat, his analysis of the Heat was really to the point.
If it weren't for Clifford's analysis, Du Kang would have to explore it on his own, and if he didn't simulate it a few times, he might not have been able to find so many clear clues.
With Clifford as an assistant, he can save a lot of MP over time.
Du Kang re-strung together these clues to play the Heat from beginning to end, and set the tone for the tactical system used in this game against the Heat.
"The starter plays one inside and four outside with Howard as the core!"
"Ding, do you use the main inside tactical system in the simulation game?"
Be!
"Ding, your main interior tactical system is not proficient enough, and there is no system bonus, but the player has the ability to implement your main interior tactical system, and the system is set successfully."
Although he, the head coach, does not have system proficiency now, he can rely on the Lakers players to play some systems on their own.
Now the Lakers can play a lot of systems, Nash as the core of the running bomb, Kobe Gasol as the core of the triangle offense, Howard as the core of the one inside and four outside.
The players are obedient now, which is a very good thing.
However, because the head coach will not run and bomb, not D'Antoni, the Lakers' running and bombing will definitely be worse, and the same is true for other tactical systems.
As for how much worse, Du Kang himself doesn't know.
Fortunately, the previous game told Du Kang that although it was worse, it was indeed enough.
If the player's tactical system also has a level.
Nash's running and shooting level is very high, and Kobe Bryant's triangle offense is also very high, and he can take him as a rookie head coach.
Du Kang set all the parameters of the simulated game on the coaching interface of the system, and returned to the home calendar.
Before the simulation, Dukang looked at the current chemistry of the Lakers.
Right now, the Lakers' chemistry is 70 percent.
The chemistry is much higher than when he took over the team. 、
If the chemistry is low, even if you are a five-star, you can lose every game.
The chemistry is high, and you can win a lot of balls even if you are a single core.
In the NBA, when the quality of the players is very high, the value of chemistry is very important, and it is also reflected in all aspects of the game.
Because the tactical system of this simulation is one inside and four outside, the starters on the Lakers' side are Howard, Yi Jianlian, Artest, Kobe, and Nash.
Yi Jianlian, Artest, Kobe, and Nash can all open up space for Howard and create opportunities for Howard to eat the Heat's interior line.
Except for Howard, everyone else can control the ball and everyone can shoot.
This starting lineup is definitely the Lakers' strongest starting lineup with a main interior system.
As for the Heat, they are still the regular starting lineup of Haslem, Chris Bosh, James, Wade, and Chanmos in this game.
Haslem and Moneymos are pseudo-starters, and at critical times, the Heat trust Battier and Ray Allen more, so when the Heat want a wave of opponents, the lineup on the court will become an ace lineup of Chris Bosh, James, Battier, Ray Allen and Wade.
Ray Allen, Battier is not young after all, and the Heat cannot play seriously and high-intensity for 48 minutes.
Many people joke that when Haslem and Chanmoss are on the court, the Heat is casual and playing with you, and only when Ray Allen and Battier are on the court at the same time, the Heat team is serious and wants your life.
"Maybe this can be used?"
Du Kang thought about it for a while, and then clicked on the simulation game to start.
The game started and Howard gave the Los Angeles Lakers their first offensive chance of the game, and it didn't take long for the game to kick things up.
The Lakers beat the Heat, known as the NBA Spring Festival Gala, which is no joke.
Although the Heat are just casually playing with you in the lineup right now, the intensity of the game is not low.
However, Du Kang's carefully prepared response still resisted the intensity of the Heat.
Even judging from the process of the game, the Lakers, when facing the Heat casual play with you lineup, still have an advantage!
Du Kang, who was standing on the sidelines, was full of the voice of the live DJ exclaiming Howard.
"Dwight Howard hits UD on his back, Dwight Howard wants to force our powerful UD, he raises his elbow, fouls, fouls, it's fouls, it's a basketball game, it's not boxing, why not blow!"
"Whew~ Our King, he crushed Steve Nash! Dwight Howard assists in defense, nice secondary acceleration, bam! LeBron—King—James!!!! ”
"Dwight Howard is the league's 'darling' again, he has played in the NBA for 9 seasons, but he can still only use his hands and feet to sweep the back of the basket now, our poor UD, I'm really worried about his face!"
……
……
In this game, Howard was full of presence and energy on both offensive and defensive ends.
Offense is the first main point of attack, and it is necessary to press the Heat center crazily, hope that the Heat will wrap it, and then pass the ball, so that the Lakers' offense will be opened.
Defending Howard is the only pillar of the team, Nash and Yi Jianlian's defense is unstable and often leaks, Artest is not good at his current lateral speed, and he is accidentally slipped in.
Artest can only defend now, he wants to top James, James is not stupid, James doesn't want to top him, isn't it good to beat Nash? The current Artest's speed simply can't change defenses.
Artest, the league's once strongest wing defender, is now unable to defend James, Anthony or Durant.
Of course, James, Anthony and Durant, the entire league is just these three super top small forwards, Artest can't stop them now, block some average small forwards, and scare some young small forwards It's still okay.
It's just that when facing the Heat, the Lakers' outside line will inevitably be full of holes.
And that's hard work for Howard.
Although this is a virtual game, watching Howard on the court chisel crazy on the offensive end, crazy running on the defensive end, crazy help defense, crazy firefighting.
Du Kang looked at the demonic beast that had been gritting his teeth, and was quite moved for a while.
It's really hard for him and for the team.
The gentleman doesn't care about his deeds, Howard, he was really fooled and lame......
Bah!
Don't be lame, the Lakers really can't live without you!
The Lakers' style of play in this game is definitely the most anticipated style of play by Howard, and it is also the style of play he hopes for the most.
But......
Playing the Heat, this style of play, the consumption of Howard is too great!
Du Kang was distressed when he watched it from the side.
With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, Nash was broken through by James again, and Howard immediately rushed over to make up for the defense, but at this time James was already rushing up.
The two collided head-on directly in the air.
Howard is straight, James is a shock jump, Howard is knocked to the ground, and James also falls.
After James fell, he immediately got up and stomped his feet, and he was fine.
And Howard, after falling, covered his back with his right hand and never got up again.
"Steve, no fouls, no stoppage, don't pause, keep attacking!"
Seeing the incomparably painful pain on the ground, holding his back with one hand, and pressing the basketball in James' hand with the other hand to give Nash Howard, Du Kang was shocked.
He's still shouting at Nash to attack!
Is this the Serious Beast?
Is this a serious beast who treats the Lakers as his own team?
The power of the serious beast is really not comparable to the happy beast......
Nash, Kobe, Artest, and Yi Jianlian ran in front.
Howard gritted his teeth and sat in the backcourt and roared viciously.
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
……
……
Howard was injured in the third quarter, and the Lakers, who had been scorched by the Heat for three quarters, were finally pushed by the Heat in the fourth quarter.
At the end of the game, Dukang glanced at the Lakers' stats.
Howard was 9-of-14 from the field, 4-of-12 from the free-throw line, and finished with 22 points, 14 rebounds, four blocks and three steals.
Kobe Bryant was 11-of-19 from the field, with 28 points and 9 assists, and Bryant, who had Howard's firepower, played very efficiently.
Yi Jianlian scored 8 of 17 and 18 points, Artest was 3 of 11 and 9 of 11, Nash was 5 of 8, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and 19 points.
In addition to Artest, the other starters had Howard to contain the Heat, and they actually played well offensively.
In the end, the Lakers lost 109-119 to the Heat on the road.
He and the Lakers have done their best in this game.
The Lakers rotated eight players all over the game, and Du Kang has almost filled the time of the team's star players.
But in the end, he still lost.
The Lakers scored 109 points, of which 106 were scored by F5 plus Yi Jianlian, and the other two players on the court scored 3 points.
The rest of the Lakers players can't play their strength at all in front of the Heat.
And Howard didn't stick to the fullest, and he was injured in the third quarter.
"If Howard doesn't get hurt, can he win?"
Thinking about Howard, who had a back injury on the court and shouted for offense.
Du Kang's hands clenched tightly.
"Ding, do you want to save this simulation?"
"Don't save!"
Howard can't get hurt!
Not even any hidden danger that could lead to injury!
Dukang wasn't sure when Howard's injury was down, so not a single second of this game could exist!
"Same setting, continue the simulation, start from scratch!"
Not a single second of the previous game could exist, so Du Kang naturally had to choose to start from the beginning, rather than starting somewhere in the middle.
If Howard hadn't been injured and had been swept away in the fourth quarter, it would have been best to start the fourth quarter.
In the second simulation, Du Kang bet that if Howard was not injured, could the Lakers rely on the 7-man rotation to win the Heat!
Yes, Du Kang set this game as a 7-man rotation, and in the last game Howard was injured, it was an 8-man rotation.
There is no way, the Lakers now have combat effectiveness, and there are only a few people who are qualified to play in such a critical and intense game.
This is also the reason why many NBA head coaches don't like to use rookies and young people in the playoffs.
There are too many problems with rookies and young people, any small problem can be caught by the opponent, and ordinary games are forgotten.
Of the Lakers' current 15 players, Kobe Bryant is basically fine, and everyone else has problems, and they are the kind of problems that can be caught by opponents.
Howard's free throws.
Nash, Yi Jianlian's defense.
Artest and Gasol's move.
This is also the reason why many people are not optimistic about the Lakers' playoff prospects.
There are so many problems that the opponent doesn't know which one to catch.
"Still hurt......"
In the second simulation, with three minutes left in the fourth quarter, Howard fell to the ground after a violent collision and once again covered his back in pain.
After Howard went down, the Lakers were once again beaten by the Heat.
The Lakers lost again.
Seeing Howard's injury again causing the Lakers to lose, Dukang was a little upset.
"I continue without changing the setting...... Wait a minute! ”
Just when Du Kang was on top of him, the system showed that he still had 614MP left and made him look down instantly.
"Stop the simulation!"
Calm down, there can be no meaningless gambler mentality!
In the simulation of two consecutive games, Howard ended with a back injury, which is already showing that he has an injury hazard now!
With such a high-intensity use of Howard's game, even if Howard is not injured in the end, it must have aggravated Howard's hidden danger of injury.
When the time comes, there will really be no chance to regret it.
Du Kang looked at the durability of various parts of Howard's body, and there was indeed a moderate risk of injury on his back, which was the same as Kobe's legs.
It seems that the risk of moderate injury is not small.
"Howard's one-in-four and four-outside system is really effective for the Heat, but you can't use Howard so much in such a high-intensity game, Howard can only choose the main offense or the main defense now, and definitely can't be the master, his current body can't bear it!"
Howard offense or defense?
Du Kang bit his fingers and looked tangled.
Howard is the main defense, this is not said, Howard does not defend, and the Lakers collapse directly.
Who's going to attack?
Let Kobe Bryant kill James, Wade, Battier and Ray Allen, Du Kang is afraid that Kobe's feet can't stand it.
Let Nash and Yi Jianlian's run-and-bomb system assist Kobe Bryant's main attack, can Yi Jianlian do it now? Can Nash withstand the high-intensity pressing attrition of the Heat's outside line?
Try every possibility, can he handle the 600MP?
"Ding, your player Yi Jianlian has completed the training of hitting 1,000 mid-range shots with high quality that day, and activated the gold-level 'king of mid-range shots', please pay attention to check."
“……”
Looking at the prompt that suddenly popped up in the system, Du Kang was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously looked at the pendulum clock in the room.
Time, 23:50.
This is the whistle to complete the task
Moreover, at this point, the UAE is still on the training ground......
……
……
"Hopefully I can help the coach."
The next Heat is really too strong...... And the coach, want to win.
In the training hall of the Cyclone team of the University of Miami, Yi Jianlian, who was lying on the floor, had a pleased smile on his face.
I'm tired, I'm really tired......
Laughing and laughing, he closed his eyes and could never open them again.
“Yi……”
Nash, who had packed his backpack, turned his head and saw that Yi Jianlian was already asleep.
Walking over and looking at Yi Jianlian, who was already tired and snoring at this time, Nash smiled and sat down next to him.
Looking at the bright moon outside the window.
"That's nice......"
……
