The pick-and-roll tactic is a very basic tactic in basketball. It can be said that every basketball player can master this basic tactic. However, for any technology, there is a tall city wall between mastering and mastering, and the pick-and-roll tactics in basketball involve factors such as on-the-spot use, teamwork cooperation, timing, and random response. A defender will, but the effect achieved is very different.

The pick-and-roll naturally requires two people to complete. The more traditional and most common naturally is the high-level pick-and-roll. This is often the cooperation between the defender and the inside player. Between the guards or between the defender and the small forward, the cover pick-and-roll is also used. Get the pass free. But in general, the pick-and-roll tactics still have to bear the ball as the core.

The effectiveness of the pick-and-roll tactics depends directly on the level of the guards, and not every guard is good at playing pick-and-roll. Even if it is placed in the NBA, there are many excellent point guards, they may easily be able to contribute 20+10 data , But they are not good at pick and roll.

Guards who are good at pick-and-roll and guards who are not good at pick-and-roll have a huge difference in the effect of using pick-and-roll tactics. Even for many defenders who are good at pick-and-roll, losing a pick-and-roll tactic is equivalent to abolishing most of his Martial arts.

Dragic is undoubtedly a master pick-and-roll. His pick-and-roll is even regarded as having Stockton's style. It's just that in the NBA, Dragic has just played two seasons. It hasn't been a long time since he entered the team's rotation. It is impossible for him to have the absolute right to play his best tactics on the spot.

But to the Slovenian national team, Dragic has more ball rights, and the team is willing to develop special tactics for him to play with him.

The sudden tactical change of the Slovenian team has made China somewhat unprepared, and more importantly, Dragic is really strong in pick-and-roll. Whether it is Brezek, Rakovich or Zupan, Dragic can Form an effective cooperation with them. And this effective cooperation can also be transformed into an opportunity for attack.

The point difference was narrowed to two points, coach Deng Huad decisively requested a timeout, he began to arrange tactics to defend against the Slovenia team's pick-and-roll.

Defensive pick-and-roll is not a difficult subject. Since the emergence of pick-and-roll tactics, there has been a method of defensive pick-and-roll. The first method is to change the defense. Although there is a misplaced defense this time, as long as the defensive player's ability is strong enough, the misplaced defense is no problem. For example, Nowitzki, although he is an inside player, but he is very good at defensive pick-and-roll. Even if it is caused by a misplaced defense, some small guards can be at ease.

However, in today’s Chinese team, Dayao’s foot injury has not healed, which greatly limits his mobility. For a player who has not been able to move for a long time, after weakening his mobility again, the misplacement after the pick-and-roll is more effective. It seems very difficult. Therefore, Deng Huade can only replace him temporarily and put on young players to keep up with the misplaced defense.

The second conventional method of pick-and-roll prevention is pinch, that is, two defensive players both pinch the ball holder. However, this is definitely risky. The pinch means that one person will be missed. If the ball holder’s pass awareness and If the level is sufficient, there will be a loophole. Therefore, if the opponent who initiates the pick-and-roll is a player who is very good at passing, such as Nash, the pinch does not achieve good results.

Dragic's passing ability is still there, especially in the Slovenian team, his passing level can be played. If it is in the NBA game, the player's level is relatively high, maybe you can try to hit Dragic. But Chinese players obviously do not have the strength of NBA guards, and it is not a wise choice to attack Dragic.

The third way to prevent pick-and-roll is to block, that is, the defenders block the ball-bearer's route and gain time for teammates to change defenses. This method is based on a tacit understanding and a high level of tactical understanding. It particularly tests the ability of the coach to command the team and the tactical execution of the players. For example, the Spurs in the NBA like to defend in this way. Pick and roll.

But for this Chinese team, Deng Huade is clearly not a top coach. The players, especially the younger players, are more general in coordination, tactical understanding and tactical execution ability. Defensive pick-and-roll with this method is not a suitable method.

The fourth method of putting the pick-and-roll is to let the opponent shoot the ball, which can be summarized as letting the shot not let go. Even if there is a short vacancy or a change of position after the pick-and-roll, it does not mean that the shot can be taken. Especially if the opponent's hit rate is relatively normal, this tactic can also be used. For example, a player like Howard who does not have the ability to shoot long, can let him vote. If it were replaced by Nowitzki, no one would let him shoot.

Although the Slovenian players are not all pitchers, but everyone also has a long-range shot, their attack range can be extended beyond the three-point line, the Chinese team can not allow Slovenia to shoot.

In the face of Dragic’s world top pick-and-roll, Deng Huad’s shortcomings in the tactical level are also obvious. He can "play the chicken blood" to make the players more exciting than one, and dare to fight one by one, but in the face of the Slovenia team suddenly Tactical changes, but unable to find the most practical response in the first place. All he can do is make substitutions.

...

"Playing pick-and-roll tactics looks very effective, and that Yankee's level is no different!" Coach Zikovic looked at Deng Huade not far away, with a smug smile on his face.

Compared to the previous Harris and Yunas coaches, Deng Huade is indeed too young and too lacking in resume. At least in Europe, Deng Huade is not well-known. European coaches and American coaches are completely different systems. The argument that peers are friends is also common among coaches. So in the eyes of Zikovich, Deng Huade is just a rookie who has just debuted.

The Slovenian team continues to play pick-and-roll, but the Chinese team's defense is also more confusing. Although the players have a strong momentum, they have not reached that high level of awareness and tactical understanding, especially after the high pick-and-roll. The change of defense made the players of the Chinese team seem a little confused. I don't know whether to continue to stare at the original opponent or to change to a new opponent.

Fortunately, the next goal, Slovenia did not score, which also gave the Chinese team a chance to buffer, but anyone can see that the current situation of the Chinese team is not too second.

Looking at the situation on the field, Dayao looked anxious but helpless. He even started to blame himself. If it was not a foot injury that affected his mobility, now Brezek is afraid that he would have been beaten by himself. It burst!

"It turns out that China does not prevent pick-and-roll. It only takes a simple pick-and-roll to change the defense to disrupt the Chinese team's defensive deployment!" Dragic drove the ball forward while gesturing to Brezek. He stepped forward for a pick-and-roll cooperation.

Brezek immediately ran to the three-point line, ready to pick and roll.

As before, the pick-and-roll between Brezek and Dragic, and then Dragic broke the ball into the three-point line, seeking the possibility of scoring.

However, at this time, Dragic found that Brezek seemed to be in an empty position, which was an excellent shooting opportunity.

"The Chinese team missed Brezek, a good chance!" Dragic flicked his wrist and the ball was already in Brezek's hands.

Brezek, without hesitation, got up and jumped.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly appeared on Brezek's head, and then pressed fiercely.

"Slap!" Brezek ate a big pot of hot pot.

"Who? Who covered me?" Brezek looked down and saw Zhang Guan's figure.

"It's Zhang Guange's me? How is this possible!" Brezek thought incredulously.

It was at this time that a loud cheer rang from the scene.

"Jump high! Zhang Guan jumps high!"

"That's Brezek, 216 cm Brezek, Zhang Guan and he are 25 cm away from him, even gave him such a big hat!"

"Pretty, it's so pretty! Brezek's shots have already been shot. It's incredible that someone can block them at this height!"

In the voice of the people, Zhang Guan had already caught the ball, and then ran to the frontcourt, ending the attack with a beautiful dunk.

...

"How is it possible, how could Zhang Guan cover me? How high must he jump!" Brezek recalled the situation just now. He confirmed that it was Zhang Guan who gave himself a big hat.

With Brezek's experience, it is almost impossible for the defender to block a seven-footer from the front of the jump shot, not to mention Brezek's height of 2 meters 16 and looking at the world, His height is also relatively high among centers.

But even so, he was covered, and Zhang Guan not only had the height of the jump, but also had enough speed. When Brezek chose to take a jump shot, he was still in the open, and at the moment he took the jump, Zhang Guan had rushed to his front.

Covered with a big cap by a defender, Brezek was a little frustrated, but Dragic was still full of confidence. He felt it was just because Brezek was not careful and there was an accident.

"Zhang Guan's physical fitness is really excellent. If he is replaced by another person, he will certainly not be able to move so fast and jump so high. He can even block Brezek head-on. Sure enough, he can't underestimate him!" Ji Qi thought to himself.

The ball was back in Dragic's hands, he held the ball again, and then completed a pick-and-roll with Brezek.

However, this time, Dragic found that Brezek was again in the vacant position.

"Brezek's chances are still very good." Dragic flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Brezek again.

After Brezek received the ball, without any hesitation, he got up and jumped.

The big hand in the air appeared for the second time, and slapped **** the ball.

"It's Zhang Guan again!"

...

After Zhang Guan got the ball, he scored a quick layup and scored again. The score difference was once again widened to six points.

The same situation happened twice in a row, which made Dragic feel a little strange. If it was only one time, maybe it was really Brezek accidentally, but the same happened twice, Dragic had to think, this Perhaps it was not an accident.

This time, he still chose Brezek to play the pick-and-roll with himself, and after the pick-and-roll cooperation, he saw that Brezek was still in an empty seat.

"Brezek is open again, a good offensive opportunity!" Dragic instinctively passed the ball to Brezek, and when the ball was shot, Dragic realized a problem, why is Bree Zeke will be completely in a vacant situation, no one is watching him.

"This is not normal!" Dragic immediately went looking for Zhang Guan, but found that Zhang Guan made a ready move at this time.

"No, this is a trap!" Dragic just wanted to yell to stop Brezek from shooting, but Brezek had jumped, aimed at the rim, and waved a shot.

Next, Brezek suffered a third block, from Zhang Guan's third block.

The score increased to eight points, which is one point worse than the seven points at halftime.

Looking at the difference of eight points, Dragic has fully understood that all this is a trap set by Zhang Guan in advance.

In the face of Dragic's world-class pick-and-roll level, Zhang Guan decided to come forward, but Zhang Guan knew that the pick-and-roll requires two people to complete, so the defensive pick-and-roll also requires two people.

Zhang Guan believes that depending on his height, it may be difficult to limit the main Brezek in the basket, but near the three-point line, he can rely on the superb bouncing blue to restrict Brezek's shot, so Zhang Guan simply Brezek Artificially created a vacancy opportunity, let Dragic pass the ball to Brezek, and then go to defend Brezek, which is much easier than the complex position defense.

In fact, Dragic and Brezek really took the bait. The result was blocked three times in a row, and Zhang Guan scored six points.

If you change to other people, you may not have such a bold idea. The physical gap between the point guard and the center is a mountain that cannot be exceeded in defense. But in front of Zhang Guan, this mountain may only be regarded as a mountain. A small earthen bag can be passed with a little effort.

...

"It can be like this! It can be used to defend the pick-and-roll in this way! After the pick-and-roll is changed, a defender can use his body to stiffly defend a power center over seven feet. Zhang Guan actually used this method to crack the Slovenian pick-and-roll !"

Deng Huade looked at the crown on the field and a shocking color appeared in his eyes.

"A defender, who stiffly resisted a traditional big center in defense, had a height difference of almost 25 centimeters and had to lose 40 pounds in weight. Zhang Guan did it! No, not only Defend, but completely suppress Brezek! How did he do this?" (To be continued.)
