Chapter 61 The Perfect Choice



Chapter 61 The Perfect Choice
When the three commentators praised the genius offensive arrangement, Su Yang was thinking about when to offer the strongest defense.

He originally wanted to make a big news, such as "Coach Su's tactics are superb, the first grade won by [-] points, ending the seven-game losing streak", so as to attract the attention of other team general managers and even scouts, and lay the foundation for the competition for the head coach in the next two years. Base.

But he didn't expect that there would be so many big-name players in this Rookie Challenge, including many leading stars, so it might be better to impress the leading players directly, the effect may be better than attracting the general manager from a distance.

The key point is that it is much more shocking to see the first grade leading the second grade by dozens of points at the competition site than to see it from the news.

Just like the Hornets lost 58 points to the Nuggets in the playoffs, when it comes to hindsight, it is often only felt that the number is exaggerated.

But if it was there at the time, it would definitely be unforgettable.

On the offensive end, the first grade has almost achieved the ultimate. If you want to greatly increase the score, you must rely on defense.

"Offensively, we've shown three sets of Horn coordination, early offense and corner offense..."

Su Yang thought to himself: "We need to show a few more defensive strategies. Unfortunately, the training time in the morning is too short. We only practice some local three-defense and two-style routines in a hurry, and we have to arrange them directly on the spot depending on the situation. I'm afraid that Durant and the others will be difficult. understand…"

Seeing the figures of the players running across the court, Su Yang quickly used his brain to think about how to arrange it.

Since the emergence of the three-second zone in the NBA, various defensive strategies have evolved over the years, and can be roughly divided into four categories: one is a large number of zone defenses, the other is blocking three-pointers & fast forward rotation, the third is blocking three-pointers & sweeping inside to protect the frame, four It is a high-pressure ball holding & inside line squatting to protect the frame.Under the four major strategies, there are small routines such as local three defenses and two defenses and full-court pressing.

A team may execute several strategies per game, often depending on the game situation.

For example, the 07 Spurs are particularly fond of "blocking three-pointers and sweeping the inside to protect the frame". They can deal with breakthrough players like LeBron very well. pull.

"In addition to the omnipotent defense, we are also suitable for blocking three-pointers and allowing the strikers to rotate quickly..."

In the first grade, Durant, Green, and Ah Lian are all tall players with long arms, and they will not suffer in terms of speed. Horford can do everything and has a high IQ, allowing him to make up defenses according to the forward rotation. Or frame.

As for Conley, let him concentrate on putting pressure on the ball holder, and observe and remind his teammates by the way, it is definitely enough.

Thinking about it carefully, such a defensive strategy is like that of the future Warriors and Clippers, relying on forward mobility.

While Su Yang was thinking about it, the referee blew his whistle to suspend the game, and the first grade temporarily led 22-13.

Gibson made all three-pointers, and the touch was so good that it exploded, and the game only played less than 5 minutes in the first half.

"Assemble..." Su Yang waved.

Conley and others quickly surrounded him, Durant excitedly boasted that those tactics were very useful.

Su Yang responded with a smile, and then seized the time to lay out a large defensive strategy and specific routines, including the priority arrangement when encountering a pick-and-roll, how to double-team when encountering a big waist against a small, how to rotate defense when encountering a high-position small and a big, etc. .

Conley and the others nodded while listening. Durant bluntly said that it is very simple and can definitely be done, reassuring Su Yang.

In a blink of an eye, the referee whistle sounded.

The game continued, the two teams did not make personnel adjustments, and the second grade kicked off from the bottom line to launch an offense.

Perhaps Thibodeau had an arrangement during the timeout. Gibson dribbled the ball to the top of the arc. Instead of using a screen to attack as before, he beckoned and stood still to observe the running position. When Adelaide's left waist created a singles space, immediately Pass the ball in.

Ade took the ball and changed his normal state, and actually bent his knees and sat down hard, as if he felt that he was pushing against the UAE.

Ah Lian firmly held his heels and carried it hard, while on the other side, Green followed Roy to the top of the arc, forming the basis for double-teaming.

Faced with such a situation, according to the arrangement, Ah Lian turned his hips slightly sideways to relieve the force, deliberately giving up space for the upper line.

Ade suddenly sensed the change, and instinctively turned to the upper line, intending to face the frame and hook his hands as usual.

I thought, at the moment when Ade slammed the ball, Green suddenly moved across and slapped the basketball away.

The basketball was forced to roll forward, and Green stepped forward, bent over and turned, and rushed forward.

The rest of the first-year team launched a fast break at the same time, and Green rushed into the paint area of ​​the frontcourt. Seeing that Roy stood on his feet ahead of time and was about to make a foul, he hurriedly raised his hand and passed the ball.Durant reached out to catch the ball, took two steps in a row, raised it high, and hit the board with ease.

The basketball bounced into the net with a bang, and the first grade led 24 to 13. Su Yang led the standing ovation.

Amidst the cheers, Green raised his hand and high-fived Durant, celebrating the completion of a fast break cooperation between the two.

I once thought that the second grade rushed to make a fast break, and Su Yang hurriedly shouted: "Return to defense, return to defense..."

Roy dribbled the ball across the center line like lightning. Conley, who was in charge of switching defenses, was a bit difficult to stop, but he still rose to the challenge.

Roy subconsciously slowed down, and in just half a second, Green, Durant and others chased to the top of the arc.

I thought that the second grade would drop here, but Bargnani ran across the center line and directly made a trailing screen.

Roy took the opportunity to get rid of Conley, cut in from the left 45-degree three-point line, and got a huge space.

Green immediately started from the top of the arc, quickly slid to block the past, and could fly for a three-pointer at any time, while Durant moved laterally to fill the position, blocking the space left by Green, and preventing Roy from passing the ball straight to the basket. Conley chased from behind.

For a while, Green and the others relied on quick rotations to make the defense airtight.

Roy has only two options, pull the ball back, reorganize the offense, or go all the way to the black.

Roy hesitated a little, bent down suddenly, lowered his center of gravity, crossed the ball, and rushed past Green.

Green stepped sideways to catch up, raised his right hand to interfere with the shot, and Durant moved in parallel.

Horford also shrunk into the paint area, and Roy had no hope of passing the ball, so he pulled up the lever with the defense on his shoulders.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and fell.

Durant received the rebound casually, turned his head and found that Ah Lian had already crossed the center line, and raised his hand to make a long pass.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Adelaide stopped after running two steps, and Ah Lian scored with one-handed dunks.

"Verygood, Veregold..."

Su Yang applauded Durant happily, and praised Durant for his good defense without the ball just now. Conley's first delay also played a key role. Redundant, the players are smart.

Defense is not too bad as long as the defense is serious. The key is how to make the players seriously defend.

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, the second-year coach Thibodeau gestured, and seemed to require complicated tactics.

Roy nodded blankly, and slowly dribbled the ball forward, moving towards the right wing.At the same time, Guy and Alder stood at 45 degrees on the left and the bottom corner respectively, while Bargnani stood at the waist on the right, and Gibson stood at the bottom corner on the right.

Seeing Roy pass the center line, Bargnani started to walk to the bottom corner on the right and set up a human wall to block Conley.

Gibson took the opportunity to start and rushed to the right wing. Considering his previous performance of hitting three-pointers in a row, he must interfere in time.

Horford followed out subconsciously, preparing to cover first, and then return to defense in time, trying to delay by two steps.

That thought, Bargnani turned around early and went straight to the basket, while Roy raised his hand and made a long pass at the same time.

Horford couldn't return to the defense in time, and Conley followed Bargnani to the basket without hesitation, and fought hard with all his strength.

But a small point guard in his early 1.8 meters can only be crushed against a big center who is more than [-] meters under the basket.

Between the lightning and the flint, the UAE shrank from 45 degrees, forming a double-team with Conley one after the other.

Adelaide got a wide open shot, and Bargnani quickly threw the ball over, and secretly grabbed Ah Lian's clothes.

But since Durant flew out from the bottom corner and blocked Adelaide's shot and breakthrough space first, the rotation was extremely fast.

Ade didn't hesitate, and immediately threw the ball to the left corner, where there was Guy who was temporarily unguarded.

Gay caught the ball and rushed forward, but was blocked by the Arab League rotation, and hurriedly passed to the basket.

Bargnani reached out to catch the ball on the spot, but Conley jumped forward and grabbed the basketball in mid-air.

The first grade immediately launched a fast break, and the four-on-two frontcourt had an absolute advantage. Durant easily hit a three-pointer.

The point difference between the two teams suddenly came to 16 points, making Thibodeau pacing back and forth on the sidelines irritably.

In the TNT commentary seat, Marvin turned his head to look at Collins, and asked curiously: "Why did the first grade suddenly strengthen their defense, but the effect is very good, it seems to be practiced for a long time, is it because Su Yang has too much strategy bonus? "

"This kind of defensive strategy is more aggressive, and it is very effective against the second grade." Collins said, "Su Yang's arrangement was very successful, but what is really powerful is that he can quickly mobilize the defensive attitude of the players, like playing a game."

"I was just joking when I told the managers to quickly prepare a contract for Su Yang..."

Miller put away his smile, "But now I sincerely recommend that. He is an all-around fighter in the field of coaching."
