Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 114

The Cavaliers held back their energy and wanted to find their place in this game.

After all, they lost the last game too badly.

Lost by 58 points!
This point difference is the largest point difference in a single game so far this season.

The Cavaliers have been nailed to the pillar of shame, and of course they want to get back in this game.

Can……

Also just have this idea.

In the face of reporters' inquiries, from the head coach Scott to the team's "son of the city" LeBron James, they couldn't speak harsh words.

The recent record of the Cavaliers is indeed better than that of the Heat.

But the last game really left a shadow in their hearts. Even if they had the idea of ​​getting back to the field, they just thought about it in their hearts and didn't dare to say it.

Before this game, the toughest sentence from the Cavaliers came from head coach Scott.

He said:

"Do your best!"

He really couldn't say anything harder than this!

However, ESPN boldly predicted before the start of this game that LeBron James and the Cavaliers will have more possibilities to win this game:
"The heat has not been in a good state recently. They only won 4 of the past 1 games, and the Cavaliers have won 5 of the past 3 games. LeBron- James' ability to adapt to this league is also getting better, and the entire Cavaliers' tactics revolve around him. This Cavaliers has passed the most difficult stage, and this is also the best time for the Cavaliers to win this game. The key place:"

"How to use LeBron James well!"

It can be regarded as an old-fashioned way. First, the Cavaliers' victory is tied to LeBron James, which highlights the importance of LeBron James to the Cavaliers.

Then I added "how to make good use of LeBron James" just in case.

If the Cavaliers still lose, or even a disastrous defeat, including LeBron James not playing well, this sentence can be used to explain the reason:
Didn't use LeBron well...

To say that ESPN has some experience now.

No way, LeBron James' performance is indeed not as good as expected, and Woody's momentum is so fierce, he should be counseled.

But it should be blown or blown!
What if LeBron James really played well in this game and the team won?

Ok……

Now that LeBron James reports, they can only gamble on the probability.

It's just that when LeBron James saw this report, he felt a chill behind him.

He felt like he was being watched by something.

Not to mention, sometimes, this fluffy feeling is really accurate.

That is, while LeBron James was feeling furious, Stan Van Gundy once again reiterated the defensive arrangement for the battle with the Cavaliers with the rest of the team.

Just like the last game, from position [-] to position [-], everyone is mainly double-teaming LeBron James!
This defensive tactic is not deliberately targeting LeBron for Woody, but the current Cavaliers have only such a ball holder and organizer since Ricky Davis left, and no other outside players have the ball. The ability to handle the ball.

The Cavaliers have the environment LeBron James wants.

Just like this...

Restricting LeBron James is equivalent to restricting the Cavaliers' tactical starting points!
Especially from the analysis of LeBron James' technical characteristics.

Good at breakthroughs, almost no projection ability, the overall situation of the organization needs to be improved...

So many deficiencies put together are four words:

Come surround me!

How could Stan Van Gundy not use such a ready-made defensive coup?
On the night of the game, there were many posters and banners that were not usually seen in the auditorium, such as:

"The best rookie must belong to Woody!"

"Woody is the strongest among the 'Three Great Talents'!"

"LeBron might win Rookie of the Year, but without Woody!"

……

The Miami people at the scene waved the banners in their hands confidently and cheered for Woody.

Woody took the initiative to walk towards LeBron James before the game and hugged him.

Speaking of which, when LeBron saw these banners, his whole mind was on the game that would start later.LeBron, who originally wanted to prove himself in this game, now has a little more motivation.

He wants to let these Heat fans take the initiative to put away the banners in their hands through his performance.

Ah!
Don't look at him facing media reporters, he can't hold back his bold words, but his heart has been burning like a flaming mountain for a long time.

If Woody hadn't walked towards him, he would have forgotten that he and Woody were "good brothers"!

"Come on tonight, man, hope you can contribute a good game!"

"You too, I still have to learn from you tonight!"

……

It was the same as the last hug, that smile, not to mention how intimate it was!

A reporter watched the freeze frame of the two of them embracing, and said directly: "The relationship between these two people is really good, and it will definitely become a legendary story in the future!"

The game then officially started.

The first offense that came up belonged to the Heat.

Wade played a pick-and-roll with Woody when he came up. As the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two gradually became the main style of play of the Heat, more and more games were accumulated, and the samples studied by other teams became more and more. many.

After knowing that Wade's acceleration is over, the explosive power of the breakthrough is fierce and difficult to stop.

So now the opponent players who come out with Woody will often directly switch defenses and delay.

This ball, the Cavaliers' choice is also the same.

Boozer took the lead and stood one step ahead of the free throw line, waiting for Wade to throw himself into the net.

Woody and LeBron are directly facing each other, even if it is a down move.

LeBron hastened to keep up, but Woody suddenly ran back at this moment. This fake move made LeBron, who was in the opposite position, stagger.

He's not very good at guarding off-ball players like that.

Especially this kind of player who plays without the ball...

But his physical fitness is here, and the staggering does not affect him to keep up with Woody at a fast pace.

But Wade, who was holding the ball, suddenly took a step back at this time, and happened to get in between Woody and LeBron.

Woody just passed, and LeBron hit Wade solidly.

This is Wade's "reverse pick and roll" for Woody, and the ball is in Woody's hands at the same time.

Boozer's reaction is not very slow, mobility is also strong.

But if it was Boozer before, he might hesitate now and then pounce.But now Boozer didn't hesitate at all, and immediately narrowed the distance with Woody.I'm afraid that Woody will directly hit the mid-range hit.

And he quickly narrowed the gap with Woody. Woody just seized this opportunity and rushed straight to the basket. With a simple "three-step layup", he scored easily before the big Z came up.

2 is better than 0!

Scott didn't blame Boozer.

Just said: "Pay attention to the distance!"

After Woody got the ball, he immediately pounced on it. This was his arrangement!

The reason...

Over the past 4 games, Woody's percentage of mid-range shots per game has increased significantly.

Before these 4 games, Woody averaged 3.3 mid-range shots per game, and averaged about 1 hit per game.

Recently, his average number of mid-range shots per game is about 6 times, and his average hits per game are 2.4 times!
This is a 40% hit rate!
This kind of shooting percentage and shot percentage can no longer be ignored, so he made such an arrangement in this game.

Originally, the Heat's firepower in attacking the inside line was fierce. If Woody surrendered again, he might be stunned by the Heat at the beginning of tonight's game!
He knows that the Heat's offense depends entirely on Woody, as long as he can attack smoothly, the Heat's offense will definitely not be small.

It's just that from Boozer's reaction just now, his instructions before the game were somewhat too solemn.So much so that this guy took this matter too seriously, as soon as Woody got the ball, he rushed up immediately, but gave Woody an easy chance to score!

This is a mid-range shot, it is really crucial...

After Woody scored easily, he couldn't help saying something in his heart.

His mid-range shooting ability is still only 72 points.

But I don't know if he knows that he has great mid-range shooting potential now, and Woody is very confident when he shoots mid-range shots.

The change in mentality allowed him to shoot about 40% of his shots.

In fact, from the last game, Woody could feel the opponent's wariness of his mid-range shot, which made it easier for him to get the opportunity to break through the basket at close range, and he no longer had to feel overwhelmed by the close range. tricky.

With Woody's mobility, jumping ability, and explosive power, as long as the opponent actively approaches him without confrontation, he can completely wipe out the opponent in one step, just like he just broke through Boozer.

easy!

Offensive and defensive transition, it is the Cavaliers' turn to attack.

LeBron James also called Big Z's pick-and-roll.

Recently, the Cavaliers have also established such a pick-and-roll system.

The Miami media clamored that the Cavaliers were learning from them.

Scott dared to answer this question head-on, because for this move, he was indeed referring to Wade and Woody.

At present, in the current league, the Heat team uses this tactic most frequently. The Jazz disintegrated because of the "Utah Shuangsha", but they no longer use this tactic as the core.

But Sloan should not have given up on this tactic.

In the previous game between the Heat and the Jazz, a reporter photographed Jerry Sloan watching Wade and Woody use pick-and-roll tactics to complete the offense from the sidelines.

That expression, one can tell at a glance, he can't wait for Wade and Woody to become his shape!
The old coach obviously did not let go of his "pick and roll system"...

However, in terms of tactical purposes, the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll system is still different from the Heat's.

In addition to helping LeBron start faster, the pick-and-roll between James and Big Z also has a tactical purpose:
Let the big Z go to the high position and help open up the inside space to facilitate LeBron's breakthrough.

LeBron's breakthrough has become more stable in the recent period, and there is a reason for this.

Only in this way, Big Z is completely abolished.

Because of this, the problem of his slow movement became more obvious.

Especially when facing a highly mobile team like the Heat.

LeBron successfully got rid of Wade, but bumped into Grant head-on. He originally wanted to use his high mobility to force a breakthrough in the confrontation, but he just confronted Grant when he saw Odom double-team him.

He quickly sent the ball from Odom's side behind him.

result……

"Snapped!"

Woody appeared behind Odom and made the steal with precision.

The Heat's chance to counterattack.

The ball is given to Odom.

LeBron almost reached out to stop, but fortunately Odom successfully threw the ball near the center line, Wade took the lead to catch the ball, straight down quickly, "Tomahawk split dunk" in one go.

"Bah!"

Taking advantage of LeBron's pass error, the Heat easily completed the "defensive counterattack".

The Cavaliers still give the ball to LeBron to control.

Come over to face Wade in the half.

This time he didn't ask Big Z to come up with a pick-and-roll.

Once the big z leaves the inside, LeBron can easily encounter a "battle of trapped beasts" inside.

The scene just now is proof.

It is very likely that the opposite side has studied his passing habits.

With his "good brother" Woody in the third position on the opposite side, he felt that the possibility could be removed. He was sure that the opponent must have studied his passing route!

In this round, he chose singles, killed Wade head-on, then attracted a double-team from a Heat player, and then made a breakthrough to score the ball to an open teammate.

The plan was perfect, but the execution...

There is a lot of difficulty!

The first issues to be addressed are:
Why do you keep such a long distance from the guy opposite who looks so deceitful?

Are you not afraid of my shooting?

When Scott told Boozer to be careful of Woody's shots, he was also listening. Didn't the fat head coach opposite him specifically tell Wade to be careful of his shots?
This is too bullying King!
Get ready for Wrath of the King!

LeBron James became more and more angry, and holding the ball was a forced breakthrough.

Ok……

After being angry for a long time, he didn't dare to try to shoot.

After all, the start is 0-4. If the goal is not scored, there is no guarantee that the opponent will not make another defensive counterattack.

So the shot must be reasonable.

Basketball is a team sport, and I am a person who knows how to use my teammates!
LeBron never forgets what his specialty is!
LeBron, who had been dribbling the ball for more than ten seconds, saw that he was about to enter the reasonable collision zone, and he didn't shake off Wade. He just jumped up and gave the ball to Boozer under the basket.

Boozer scolded his mother in his heart, but he knew that he was running out of time, so he rushed to make a shot, but was pushed up by Odom, and the shot bounced out of the frame with an unstable center of gravity.

Big Z grabbed the offensive rebound in the confrontation, and just as he landed, his hand was empty, and he watched the ball slowly fly out of his hand.

He didn't know when there was an extra hand behind him...

Woody, slap his ball off!

Wade gets the ball well, and this time LeBron keeps up with him nicely.

But Wade himself had no chance. When he rushed to the basket, he twisted and threw the ball behind him.

Woody, who followed closely behind, grabbed the ball and rushed to the basket with a fierce momentum.

This momentum frightened LeBron, and he shrank to the side subconsciously.

"Bah!"

6-0!

A familiar smell spread across the court.
