Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 165 Change coaches on the spot [Second update, please subscribe]

The 76ers are not afraid of the Bulls in the paint.

Marcus Fetzel's offensive level is average, and he belongs to the kind that looks okay and pulls over when he gets stronger. Although Brad Miller has a good level, the 76ers also have a way to deal with him. Mutombo can completely cover him in the post, but Miller can't beat Mutombo in the post.

The only way is to shoot from the high post, but in the words of Zhang Weiping's guidance, half-ball shots can't kill anyone.

What's more, Coach Brown will also arrange for the flank players to continuously retreat to the bottom three near the penalty area to dig the ball.

This made Brad Miller quite uncomfortable. He could only keep scoring the ball, and he would definitely not be able to wear it inside. Feizel was too professional in his ironing, and his playing made Miller flustered. He chose to believe in his own ball without hesitation. The team's three outside lines.

Snow alone defends Lu Yu.

He's a great defensive athlete, and without him, there would be no Allen Iverson last season.

People think that in order to get a foothold in the NBA, you need to have far more talent than ordinary people.

But unfortunately, Snow did not.

But he also knows that if he wants to make up for his congenital deficiencies, he can only rely on acquired efforts, as the so-called diligence can make up for his own shortcomings.

Eric Snow's NBA career didn't have a gorgeous offense, he didn't have the best dunks and accurate three-pointers, he just had a conscientious organization.

The unruly Allen Iverson only used his full energy in the Philadelphia 76ers' backcourt with Eric Snow.

It was the first time that Lu Yu had encountered such a defensive master.

It was completely different from the feeling in the NCAA. Lu Yu didn't even dare to pass the ball rashly, because he could see from Snow's falcon-like eyes that as long as he was not careful, Snow would definitely break the ball.

If Snow's defensive ability is quantified by breathing method, Lu Yu feels that it is at least 85% of the progress of water breathing method, and more than 50% of wind breathing method.

That's right, defense is Snow's housekeeping skill.
His defense, in today's NBA point guard, the level of defense can definitely be in the top three.

Like Bruce Bowen, his defensive stats don't fully reflect his defensive skills, but anyone who plays with him or watches games will find that his defensive awareness and skills are remarkable.

Lu Yu felt that his style of play was not dirty, and his movements were neither rude nor trivial. He was just relying on his accumulated experience to keep close to himself, so that wherever he went, there were people blocking and interfering with his passing or breakthrough. .

He was like a black ghost, lingering around him.

Floyd discussed with Cartwright off the court: "Lu Yu seems to be limited by Snow. He has not found a suitable opportunity for several consecutive attacks. I think he should calm down."

Cartwright shook his head: "I think Trenton should be replaced to share Lu Yu's defensive pressure on the court. He has to guard Iverson and be responsible for the offense. In normal games, he can come. But this time it was Snow and we had to take the pressure off him."

Floyd was noncommittal, but did not replace Lu Yu either.

It wasn't until 3 minutes and 20 seconds that Floyd called a timeout, Trenton Hassel replaced Hoiberg and Chandler replaced Brad Miller.

Hoiberg's performance during this period was also not good. He shot [-]-for-[-]. They all said that Iverson's defense was not very good, but Hoiberg couldn't bring enough pressure to Iverson, so he only had a shooting skill package. Iverson was still able to handle it, and Hoiberg's several shots were disturbed by Iverson.

The Bulls trailed by eight with 11:19.

Cartwright sighed slightly when he saw his substitution. It was already time for Marcus Fezer to be replaced. He couldn't protect the frame, he couldn't attack, and he couldn't help defend. He wanted him on the court. What's the use?

The calf doesn't have to be so obvious, right?

The 76ers on the opposite side didn't adjust much, and Lu Yu couldn't figure it out. Could it be that they were going to be exhausted to death, and there were still two veterans on the court, veteran insiders!

Looking forward to their early retirement to enjoy their old age?

Brad Miller was not present, and Lu Yu didn't have to worry about dispersing the ball. As for Fezel, Lu Yu didn't give him a shot.

……

Lu Yu passed the ball to Artest after halftime, and then took Chandler's screen to the three-point line. Mutombo had no intention of chasing it out at all. Teste passed the ball easily, and Lu Yu received the ball and made a three-pointer.

Three point hit.

Snow frowned tightly. He hated pick-and-rolls, because it would make his defense no longer effective, so he wouldn't expect others to switch defenses, and could go around as much as possible or grab it.

It was hard for Lu Yu to be guarded by him.

When he passed by Snow, he cursed and said a bunch of trash talk.

He wants to provoke each other's anger.

This will allow the opponent to lose accurate judgment when defending.

Lu Yu also saw that the 76ers would not play zone defense, or dare not play zone defense. The reason is probably that Iverson is not too fond of zone defense.

This is convenient for yourself.

……

In the next few offenses, Artest and Hoiberg's shots missed the basket, and the rebounds were undoubtedly picked up by Mutombo. In the other half, Iverson showed his strong offense ability.

Lu Yu always felt that his defense was at the top level.

But when it comes to Iverson, it's really not enough to watch.

He's not good enough, let alone Trenton, who just came in.

By the end of the first quarter, the Bulls were still eight points behind the 76ers.

21:29
Floyd has a headache. No one in the team can limit Iverson's offense now. In the first quarter, Iverson had already scored 13 points. Fortunately, he entered the second quarter immediately, and he could play on the bench in rotation. Hopefully the bench can recover some points in the second quarter.

Who knew that in the second quarter, Larry Brown surprised him with the team he sent.

Eric Snow, Raja Bell, Corey Blunt, Alvin Jones, Samuel Dallumbert, this is going to lock up the Bulls' perimeter offense!
Everyone knows that the Bulls' bench lineup relies on Jamal Crawford and Ron Mercer to stab them with two shots. Now that the two shots are limited, how can they score points.

After playing as a substitute for a few minutes, Floyd replaced the main force again. He started to play the main force mode. When the score was behind, he liked to use the main force to vomit blood, because he was worried that the score would be pulled away and it would be difficult to play later. .

Larry Brown is more than contented, adapting to changes.

No matter what you can change, I'm just an iron barrel. If you can't penetrate me, just wait for me to restore the blue bar, the skill CD ends, and a wave of your heads will be harvested to end the game.

It was their usual tactic last season.

But it didn't work this season, because they faced too many opponents this season and could easily defuse this move.

Fortunately, the opposite head coach doesn't seem to know much.

At this time, Krause in the stands looked calm. He always believed in Floyd and hoped that he could bring this team to good results. In the past two seasons, Floyd has not played well, and he has been in Persuade yourself, because the lineup is not good.

But this season, he has optimized his lineup.

There is Lu Yu on the outside, Brad Miller on the inside, Jamal Crawford and Charles Oakley on the bench, and Ron Artest on the front line. Compare.

Can't even beat the opponent's substitute?

His eyes suddenly turned to Cartwright beside him.

Or, try?
After thinking about it, he couldn't hold back the thought, so he walked to the bench: "Tim, I have something to ask you, Bill, you can temporarily command this game."

Floyd was stunned, the game was going on, you let me go at this time?

But he saw Klaus' unquestionable expression, hesitated, and then agreed.

The first thing Cartwright did when he took over the command was to call a timeout. He didn't know how to evaluate Floyd's command when he was off the court. Even though there were many ways in his mind, he knew better that Floyd was a stubborn man. People who do not listen to their own opinions, so simply keep silent.

"Tyson, you do a pick-and-roll for Lu Yu on the offensive end. Lu Yu breaks through with the ball to look for dislocation opportunities. After attracting the big man to switch defenses, he will play by himself if he has a chance.

"Charles, you have to pay attention to protecting the rebound. After Tyson pulls the outside line, the inside rebound is up to you."

"Ron, pay attention to Lu Yu's breakthrough and score at any time. If there is a chance to shoot, don't hesitate!"

"Trenton, your mission is to run with Iverson. You don't ask you to score, but your mission is the most important. Even if you run, you will kill him."

The players laughed when they heard this.

Lu Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, but he didn't realize that Cartwright actually had two brushes. He was clearly organized, and each deployment had a clear purpose. Even Trenton, a defensive player, had no idea. Can make the most of it on offense.

"Defensively, we play zone defense."

Cartwright's language is not surprising, because Floyd rarely plays zone defense, although the team has practiced, but with Floyd, the practice is in vain.

"But we're not playing an ordinary zone defense, Trenton, you still have to keep your eye on Iverson, Lu Yu, you and Ron guard the upper line area, the opening may be bigger, your lateral movement must be fast, Charles and Tai Sen, the penalty area will be handed over to you, if the three-pointer from the bottom corner is from the outside, then give it up, if the position is inside, just give it up... If Iverson is in the bottom corner, you must pounce."

The defensive arrangement is also very reasonable.

Because the 76ers have very few [-]-pointers.

You can't ask Snow to keep getting in.

Snow can play 31 minutes in a game, with 0 shots, of course, 0 points and only 5 assists.

He was an unknown organizer.

He chooses to pass the ball because he knows his teammates have better chances than he or his teammates are more capable of creating better chances.

Most importantly, his shooting skills are really poor.

The mid-range shot can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and the hit rate is acceptable in the case of release; while the long-range shot is a complete drawback. In his career, his three-point shooting rate is only in the early 2%, which is not good for such a perimeter player. It's a bit unreasonable to say.

Despite his hard training, we still have to know that some things, without talent, cannot be forced.

The 76ers saw about the same time and also changed their main lineup.

In addition to Snow, the main force of the 76ers, there are Matt Halprin, Derek Coleman and DiCambe Mutombo.

It seems that Halprin is the only shooter left.

The background of a rugby player makes Halprin tough, strong physical confrontation, good at close defense, decisive and ruthless, able to act, indomitable, and fought bloody until the last moment.

Good defense, accurate movement, good shooting, not limited by distance range, high tactical literacy, is a player who scores on the court.

Has the simplicity and feel of European players.

Physical fitness of black people.

Absolute hero.

That's why Halprin has been the 76ers' most important scoring point this season.

Cartwright's tactic has limited almost every point of the 76ers. Trenton defends Iverson alone, Lu Yu and Artest are ready to attack from the area at any time, and the area defense on the inside will also make it impossible for this team. How many offensive ability the inside line completely strikes, Snow, who has no shooting ability, will only reveal his true shape in front of the zone defense.

The only surprise might be Halprin.

But will Harpring, who only averaged about 10 points per game, become that accident?
