Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 176 I said, pay a little more attention next time [monthly pass plus update, please subscribe]

It seems that few teams in the league have done this kind of defensive tactics, because the direction of team building in the league now requires a tall inside line.

In most cases in this era, the inside line is the core of the team's offense and defense.

Responsible for guarding the basket.

The defense always suffers when a tall insider faces a smaller man's offense.

Therefore, many teams do not choose to switch defenses, and generally require the blocked defender to bypass and continue to catch up with the defender, or to attack the front line.

The center is responsible for protecting the rim.

This is the biggest weakness of switching defenses, and it is also the reason why many teams are reluctant to use switching tactics, because many power centers are tall and heavy, move slowly, and are easily targeted by guards.

In fact, not only now, even in the era of small ball, in switching tactics, the center is the most likely to be targeted by the outside.

Not only the center, but even the weak link of the team's defense will be singled out and named.

For Cartwright's question.

Lu Yu looked at Brad Miller.

"Let Billups do it!"

Lu Yu said with a smile: "Brad just needs to try to interfere with his shooting. As for his breakthrough, we still have zone attack, right?"

"Okay, I see." Brad Miller also smiled.

Billups' breakthrough is not a big threat. As for shooting, can his shooting determine the outcome of the game?

Obviously not!

What Lu Yu said is very clear. In fact, this tactic can not only be used to flank Garnett, but also can make different flanking choices in specific areas in the face of different opponents.

Cartwright also nodded in agreement, perhaps unintentionally, the Bulls are not a team with the inside as the core of offense and defense, so they can just adapt to this tactic.

His only concern now is whether there will be any flaws in this defensive method without intensive training.

"The big deal is to use this game to pay for tuition!" Cartwright thought through gritted teeth.

At the end of halftime, players from both sides came on stage, and a five-man team of Trenton Hassel, Chandler, Artest, Oakley and Lu Yu came on the court.

Trenton asked in a low voice, "Charles, you let Tyson defend hard. Garnett's nickname is the Wolf King. Will it cause a conflict?"

Oakley said disdainfully: "Otherwise, why do you think the coach asked me to come up? But this is all Bill's overthinking. This guy Garnett is not as tough as he looks."

Chandler didn't care: "Hey, man, I have the same name as the boxing champion. I'm afraid of him?"

Artest was eager to try, and he was eager to do it. He had long seen Garnett's guy who was going to beat his chest and snort when he scored a goal, as if he couldn't show his masculinity.

"It's the wolf king!"

The attitudes of the three made Trenton Hassel a bit puzzled.

Lu Fei just smiled,
Let's fight and retreat, what is there to be afraid of?

Although the team trailed by fifteen points, when the Bulls players stepped onto the court, people obviously saw no frustration in them, only endless fighting spirit in their eyes.

Sun Yiping said to the camera: "The halftime is over, let's take a look at the second half between the Bulls and the Timberwolves... The Bulls' offense still has no problem, their basketball transmission is smooth, and Oakley's outside after the pick-and-roll. Cut, Lu Yu passed the ball, Oakley made a high shot, good shot!"

"Oakley's shooting from a high position is relatively certain. In fact, his mid-range shooting has always been very good, and Nesterovic can't prevent it at all. Of course, this is also the reason why Lu Yu helped him to open up spacing." Zhang Weiping said : "But now the Bulls are still [-] points behind. If they want to win the game, in addition to scoring, they have to defend."

Everyone was staring at the basketball court, wondering if the Bulls could find a solution to the defense after the halftime adjustment.

Timberwolves offense.

After Billups picked and rolled, he found that the defender in front of him had become Oakley. He wanted to hang Nesterovic, but found that Nesterovic was pinned to the elbow by Lu Yu.

Nesterovic is also very depressed. If he is replaced by another team's point guard, he will definitely have the opportunity to play big and small, but the Bulls' point guard is not small, and Lu Yu is also close to two meters tall.

The most important thing is that Lu Yu's strength is very strong. He tried to squeeze twice, but found that he didn't squeeze.

Billups tried to break through Oakley. After two attempts, he found that the Bulls had a very small gap. He had no chance to break through. At this time, he could no longer stick the ball in his hand, and passed the ball directly to the inside. Location of Garnett.

As soon as Garnett received the ball, he felt a strong force coming from behind him. He almost lost his footing and quickly leaned back with his back.

Chandler's arm was tightly pressed against Garnett's waist, which made Garnett very uncomfortable. He started to squeeze inward with the force of the dribble. After squeezing twice, he found that he had not reached the three-second zone.

"Hey, man, are you a rude man who only uses brute force and doesn't know a little skill?" Garnett started defiant.

For him, when encountering difficult opponents, he will use trash talk to irritate the opponent and limit the opponent's performance.

Chandler was unmoved.

Garnett was helpless, so he could only continue to squeeze again, then put his hands together, and poked his body to the left, then turned directly to the right and rolled over for a jumper.

Chandler didn't sway, and rushed towards Garnett's body, raising one hand high to interfere with Garnett's shot, and the two bodies were almost attached to each other.

Garnett's shot felt crooked, and Chandler's sudden change made him feel very uncomfortable.

The basketball hit the front of the rim and was picked up by Oakley.

While running back, Garnett complained to the referee: "That kid is going to kiss me, didn't you see it? Is it a foul if I have to fall to the ground?"

The referee frowned. He felt that the defense of the ball just now was fine.

Lu Yu dribbled the ball over halftime, and he didn't care what Garnett and the referee said, as long as the referee didn't blow the whistle, the game continued.

Just after halftime he gave Chandler a thumbs up: "Nice job, my champion."

Chandler shook his head dissatisfiedly: "He called me a reckless man."

"You won't scold him back?" Lu Yu gave him a white look: "If he scolds you as a coward, you scold him as a coward!"

During the conversation, Billups had already posted Lu Yu, but the next second he found that the ball in Lu Yu's hand was missing, and Chandler received Lu Yu's high toss directly above Garnett's head. Dunk one.

"Hey, coward!"

Garnett's face turned green.

……

"Give me the ball!" Garnett and Chandler entangled for a long time, their arms were almost tucked together, the referee pretended not to see at all, this level of confrontation is encouraged by the league, and only by confrontation can there be ratings.

Basketball is a confrontational sport.

Otherwise, it is better to go home and sleep with the wife intensely.

Finally, Garnett got the basketball near the three-point line.

"Sheet, a little far!" Garnett was upset.

But he can drive like a guard, dribble, change his crotch, and drive to the free throw line.

But after breaking through two steps, he found that Artest was attacking.

He immediately slowed down, and his body collided with Chandler. He immediately went to find Joe Smith's position. Smith was in the bottom corner, but there was a Bulls player on the passing route.

He turned around helplessly and walked towards the bottom line.

To the bottom corner, face the frame shot,

Chandler pounced without any hesitation, and his fingers grabbed a few bloodstains directly on Garnett's forearm. Garnett's shot naturally missed the basket, but the referee blew the whistle.

Garnett yelled, pressing Chandler against his chest: "Fake! Are you playing or hitting!"

Chandler looked at Garnett quietly: "Repeat the swearing words you just said?"

"I say……"

Garnett was about to open his mouth when he suddenly saw the Bulls players crowding around, Lu Yu, Artest, Oakley, Hassel, and Brad Miller on the sidelines.

"I said, it's better to be a little more careful next time."
