I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 331: Strongly suppress the defending champion!

Orlando TD Waterhouse Center. At this time, the game between the Magic and the Cavaliers had just begun. The Cavaliers’ first attack, Chen Xiao was assisted by Raheem for a dunk when he broke through.

Although the Cavaliers got the lead when they came up.

But the magic fans at the scene were still singing and dancing, shouting loudly.

Playing the Cavaliers, the team has a great advantage, do not care about the gains and losses of one point and one quarter, after forty-eight minutes of booming, the Magic will win another game!

By the way, the Magic have not lost a home game in the playoffs this season.

So, don't think that Magic fans are too confident, they have such qualifications.

At this time, on the court, the Magic point guard Parker is not so confident.

Unlike Parker who delayed James' advancement just now, the Cavaliers did not delay Parker's advancement. Parker quickly drove the ball to the Cavaliers' three-point line.

Parker felt the tremendous pressure after taking the ball beyond the Cavaliers' three-point line.

Why do you say that?

Because standing in front of him is not his opponent James, standing diagonally across from him is the Cavaliers power forward, Raheem!

Just now when he was attacking, Raheem was a power forward, but now when defending, the power forward has become Gerald Wallace!

During the regular season, the Cavaliers were defending against the black hole inside, and at this time, standing in front of him like this, looking at him seriously or frowning.

Suppressing the impulse to shoot a three-pointer between Raheem and Chen Xiao, Parker looked at the defense of the surrounding Cavaliers players at this time, and his heart sank slightly.

"Joint defense!"

As a defender from Europe, Parker is of course very familiar with zone defense.

A combined defense formation composed of five 2.03 meters 03 big men and three excellent defensive swingmen. The Cavaliers' combined defense formation will definitely be called the most perfect defense formation in Europe!

In the face of such a zone defense, Parker hesitated.

And the coach of the Magic on the sidelines, Dougrives, frowned.

"It's different, the Cavaliers are not so defensive in the regular season!"

At this time, Dougreaves felt as if he had been tricked by a pig.

Parker looked at this group of long-handed and long-footed players over 2.03 meters and was shocked. As the team's point guard, he didn't know how to organize for a while.

Of course, Parker's organizational ability during this period is indeed very general.

Historically, even in 2011, when Parker was almost 30 years old, he was sprayed by Bobo because he didn't know how to deal with double-teaming.

By the way, by the way, Parker is not afraid of European defense.

When Parker was still in Europe, the FIBA ​​three-point line was his offensive area. The FIBA ​​three-point line corresponds to the NBA's long-range two-point line. After Parker entered the NBA, the offensive area was close to 60% under the basket. , 30% is on the long-distance two-point line.

Calculated to Europe, that means close to 60% are at the basket and 30% are at the three-point line.

In Europe, Parker is known as the little prince who broke the defense, can shoot three-pointers, and break through. In history, in the European Championship in 2011, the old sports car Parker, who is almost 30 years old, all used the German team's defense team led by Dirk. To break clean, the French team scored 76 points, and Parker scored 32 points alone.

But obviously, because of the distance of the three-pointer, although it is all zoned defense, the zoned defense of the NBA is not the same thing as the zoned defense in the international arena.

Now, this season, Parker’s three-pointers are shooting 28%, which is a career low for Parker, and his shots are also a career low for Parker.

Parker also averaged 2.5 three-pointers as a rookie, and the rookie made three three-pointers in the second season. By this season, there are only two.

Historically, Parker’s three-pointers will drop to 0.5 next season.

Why is this happening?

The hit rate is getting lower and lower and the shots are getting less and less.

Even when Popovich was playing offense, Parker averaged less than 1 three-pointer per game?

why?

Of course it’s because Parker, who just came to the NBA from Europe, is a little prince of three-pointers in Europe. He feels that NBA three-pointers are just like that. Pa Xiaoye is very confident.

But after being severely beaten by the NBA's three-point line, Parker was embarrassed.

If you can't play with you, then don't play, Pa Xiaoye admits it, can't it work?

Xiaoye will not vote in the future!

Therefore, Parker this season is a period of struggle for his three-pointers.

There is still a little he doesn't want to give up, but his 28% shooting rate makes him have to give up.

Very struggling.

So when he saw the Cavaliers' defense team testing his three-pointers, he was a little confused.

After Parker gave up the three-pointer, the number of long-range two-point shots soared. The highest number of long-range two-point shots in a season exceeded 5.4, and the shooting percentage was close to 46%, which is the exception of Iverson in the entire NBA history. The defender with the highest percentage of offenses in this area.

Although Iverson has won 8.4 times in this area, taking into account the difference in the number of shots between the two, Parker's offensive percentage in this area may be higher than Iverson.

So, Parker is an offensively reasonable version of Iverson, which is really no problem at all.

The two attacking areas are almost identical.

Of course, if you want to play beautifully, of course Iverson is even more beautiful.

Parker is a reasonable, simple and efficient version of Iverson.

In the face of the Cavaliers' nearly perfect zone defense, Parker didn't know how to do it for a while.

I didn't dare to vote, but I was afraid that Chen Xiao, James and Gerald Wallace would take the lead.

When he got in, he was a little tall and small man who was struck by Chen Xiao and James' contraction. He could not see anything. He could only be clamped to death and couldn't jump.

For this, a certain later generation's little pants have experience, Lao Zhan and Xiao Du's flanking attack, tsk tsk, thieves sour.

Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan may be more sour.

Parker was embarrassed because he saw the strength of the Cavaliers' defense.

But McGrady next to him wouldn't persuade him.

It also reads that the Cavaliers, Duncan of the United Defense, was equally uncomfortable.

After McGrady came out and took the ball from Parker's hand, he wanted to use his long legs and skills to break through the defense.

Stepping into the three-point line, facing James' defense, McGrady's two major changes were blocked, and he immediately retreated.

His defense this time is not defeated by James. If one-on-one, James can't prevent his breakthrough. The key is that other Cavaliers players are shrinking next to him.

Chen Xiao, Gerald Wallace is too fast!

McGrady, who had withdrawn from the three-point line, jumped high under the interference of James' stretched out hand. Seeing that his athletic ability was extremely good, James, who was clearly at a distance from him just now, had already flown in front of him.

After gritting his teeth in his heart, McGrady finally turned his basketball into a pass and hit Duncan in the paint.

Duncan in the paint received a pass from McGrady and faced Gerald Wallace's defense, a very unpretentious mid-range jumper.

Hit the board!

2 to 2!

After Duncan's mid-range hit, the Magic fans on the scene once again set off a climax.

But the Magic players on the court, whether it is McGrady or Duncan.

The expressions on his face were very solemn at this time.

If it is a general defense, McGrady can actually break through forcefully just now.

McGrady, who was not injured in the Pistons round of the series, has no physical problems now. He is very confident in his technique and physical talent.

O'Neal can attack the defense on the inside, and McGrady can also attack the defense on the outside!

However, his attack just failed, James and Chen Xiao contracted too quickly!

The two are not only fast, but they also have excellent defensive skills.

At the same time, the Cavaliers' zone defense not only shrinks quickly, but also expands extremely quickly.

When he pushed beyond the three-point line and was about to shoot, James was really right there!

The speed of the defense was terrifying, and finally forced him to pass the ball to Duncan.

McGrady on the outside felt the speed of the Cavaliers' defense, and Duncan on the inside certainly felt it.

Gerald Wallace is also very Dior.

"The Cavaliers' defense is stronger than when they played us last season!"

In front of the TV, Phil Jackson couldn't help sighing.

Of course, Chen Xiao’s explosive power is 5 points higher than last season, and Chen Xiao’s lateral movement has reached 90 points. Coupled with the support of 100 endurance, Chen Xiao can go all out on the defensive end every round. Xiao's defense is stronger.

And Xiao Zhan and Chandler are also continuing to improve.

As for the comparison between Gerald Wallace and Dalius Miles, Gerald Wallace is of course the stronger one!

Although Gerald Wallace’s height and wingspan are not as terrifying as Miles and not as Garnett, Gerald Wallace’s defensive skills, tactical discipline, defensive discipline and skills are definitely not Miles. Comparable.

There is no doubt that the Cavaliers' defense has gone up another level this season.

As for Raheem this loophole.

If you Parker is small pants, Raheem is indeed a black hole, but the point is, your Parker is not small pants.

The Cavaliers started this game and used their own zone defense to make the Magic players feel deeply powerless and shocked.

"Other people's zone defenses are loopholes in the three-point line and the mid-range area, but this Cavaliers team's zone defense, because of the fact that Wonder Boy, James and Gerald Wallace Chandler are too fast, the three-point line and the mid-range are not There is a loophole, which is terrifying."

Phil Jackson watched the magic fans cheering through the sky on TV at this time, with a playful look on his face.

The perspectives of fans and professionals are always different.

For the offense and defense just now, what the fans saw was Duncan's strong return to the Cavaliers, which made people excited.

What the professionals saw was that the Cavaliers offensively broke the Magic easily, while the defense almost pushed the Magic to a desperate situation.

Of course, on the court, the Cavaliers players also have another feeling.

James felt that he had blocked Tracy McGrady, but he could still pass the ball, which was depressing.

Gerald Wallace felt that he had defended Duncan to the extreme, but Duncan still made a steady hit.

Looking at the two depressed teammates of the team, Chen Xiao smiled and patted them.

"They are Duncan and McGrady."

Looking at the smiles on Chen Xiao's face, James and Gerald Wallace were stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Yes, they are Duncan and McGrady!

On the sidelines, Carlisle looked at Chen Xiao comforting James and Gerald Wallace and nodded.

"If the Magic didn't have Duncan and Tracy McGrady, no player would have escaped the Cavaliers' defense!"

Carlisle is very confident.

By the way, as an American head coach, he actually played the zone defense so well. This is also the perfect place for Carlisle.

Carlisle, the coach who still wears the nickname of a pig, is perfect and incredible.

The game continued and the Cavaliers attacked. Parker, as before, started to press when the Cavaliers bottom line served the ball to James' hands.

This time, Parker started pressing directly from the backcourt.

The contrast between Parker's body and James's body is small and big.

The little one is pushing against the big guy, it seems like an egg hit a stone, everyone thinks so, and this is Parker's opportunity.

As long as James is a little too big in his movements, he will just lie down.

Last year's Greek Olympics, I don't know how many Meng Six players fell on this.

Although James did not participate in Dream Six, he still watched the whole process.

For a small European defender like Parker, James does not know how many eyes are left.

Anyway, you are also harassing, I am not irritable, you harass casually, harass me out of the water, you win!

With the help of Chandler's screen, Jr. bypassed Parker, who was interfering with him, and then rushed through the backcourt with an acceleration.

I have to say that Parker’s posts are really annoying. After all, Parker is not slow. You can get rid of him, but you can’t get rid of him.

Faced with Parker like this, James passed the ball over to Chen Xiao's hands after halftime.

Unlike Parker James's matchup, Chen Xiao and McGrady are much more chic here.

After Chen Xiao received the ball, McGrady bent over behind Chen Xiao and interfered with his long hand.

And Chen Xiao was facing off with the ball in one hand in front of McGrady.

In front of McGrady, use McGrady's best one-handed ball to play handsome. According to the Chinese version, this is to play a big sword in front of Guan Gong.

And this time, Chen Xiao's big sword looked so cool, that Teacher Zhang on the sidelines was screaming.

"Chen Xiao's one-handed ball is still so handsome, and McGrady's defensive posture is also quite cool, McGrady's sleepy eyes have been opened!"

In these two seasons, after Duncan came to the Magic, McGrady was very dedicated and hardworking on the defensive end.

Because he doesn't have so much responsibility on the offensive end, he can play more on the defensive end.

In the last round of McGrady and Wade duel, many people said that McGrady was slightly suppressed by Wade.

In fact, Chen Xiao felt that the two were actually still 50-50.

Chen Xiao knows Wade very well. In this round of the series with the Magic, Wade is really struggling. For example, in G7, Wade made more than 25 free throws. Do you know what this means?

Such a desperate Wade, McGrady defended only 11 of 28.

The reason why Wade is considered to have slightly suppressed Tracy McGrady is because Wade's scoring average and efficiency are better in this round of the series.

However, Wade's shots were much higher, and Wade used his knee to score a lot.

Wade's shots in this series, including Wade's good mid-range shots, were basically blocked by McGrady.

And McGrady’s offense...

To be honest, in this round of the series, McGrady's efficiency is not that high and Wade has nothing to do with it. It is purely his own iron and his own shooting is unstable.

Wade didn't actually guard McGrady.

McGrady defended Wade a lot, letting Wade crazily use his knees to break through the basket.

Wade did not defend McGrady, nor did he change McGrady's offensive methods.

In fact, Wade dominates the data, but in fact McGrady is more at ease, like a fluttering master who was punched a few times by a young man, but his face was still smiling, and his body was still white as snow. After a few punches, Xiao Young's successor was weak.

To be honest, Chen Xiao felt that Wade lost the last round of the series.

Although McGrady is not a defensive player, his physical condition is really excellent.

When he defends seriously, whether it is Wade, Kobe or other guards, it is basically difficult to take advantage of McGrady's hands.

Born to be weak.

Therefore, even if arrogant as the boss of Ke, he didn't speak when McGrady installed B, and watched McGrady as B quietly, because the leader of Ke knew that McGrady had an advantage over their defenders.

Singled out, really can't do him.

But Chen Xiao is different!

Last season's playoffs and the Magic faced off. Because the team needed to play a power forward and a center, Chen Xiao had long wanted to face off against Tracy McGrady.

The two have the same height and the same arms span, standing together, like twins.

Even Chen Xiao's single-handed catching of the ball is very much like McGrady.

However, there are still differences.

McGrady attacked after catching the ball with one hand, either by making a smooth breakthrough, or by direct dry draw.

As for Chen Xiao, now he will habitually hit the defensive player with his body.

After the handsome one-handed ball, Chen Xiao leaned heavily on McGrady's body, and after using stronger strength and confrontation to lean against McGrady a little bit, Chen Xiao pulled directly in front of McGrady!

Watching Chen Xiao jumping high on the three-point line on the TV, Kobe in front of the TV opened his mouth somewhat.

Usually, his good friend smashed others. To be honest, Kobe really rarely sees McGrady being smashed like this.

Watching the long legs and long hands of the Cavaliers No. 24 on TV, Kobe really looked envious.

In the face of Chen Xiao’s stubbornness, to be honest, McGrady has nothing to do. If he is not driven by Chen Xiao, he still has a little way. But now, after he is driven by Chen Xiao a little, that’s There really isn't much to do.

Brush!

Listening to the sound of basketball surfing on the TV, Kobe in front of the TV and Paul on the sidelines, Anthony looked stunned.

This style of playing against McGrady, really, the picture is very impactful!

Therefore, the Magic fans who were crazy just now on the sidelines were directly silent.

Facing McGrady's style of play, to be honest, anyone hits, can blow, it is the top five ball.

But looking at Chen Xiao's usual expression and appearance on the court at this time, they actually felt that Chen Xiao was not pretending to be B, but felt that for Chen Xiao, such a dry play was indeed commonplace.

"After all, he kills Mamba, the best player in the NBA!"

"His strongest is to shoot this kind of unreasonable ball!"

"This is originally his strength!"

5 to 2!

After being shot by Chen Xiao in his own way, McGrady frowned.

"This kid..."

The Magic attacked.

After the last time the offensive Parker organization was blocked, this time after the Magic Parker dribbled the ball through half the court, he immediately transformed into a dribbling guard and handed the ball to Ginobili's hands, organized by Ginobili.

In the last round, Ginobili made 55% of his three-pointers, which was a good one. In this season's playoffs, Ginobili is in excellent form.

Facing the almost invincible zone defense of the Cavaliers, Ginobili had a three-pointer in the last round, but he still had to try to cut in.

However, in the face of Chen Xiao's defense, Ginobili's European cut failed.

Like McGrady, he took the initiative to withdraw.

In the face of Chen Xiao, James and Gerald Wallace's inverted triangle defense, regardless of McGrady's talent flow or his rhythm flow, it is enough.

In the end, Ginobili could only withdraw. After an exciting fake shot from outside the three-point line tricked Chen Xiao into jumping, Ginobili passed the basketball in his hand to Tracy McGrady, who was in the three-point line. .

Ginobili's fake shot dazzled people, not because he really wanted to commit a foul, but to keep the defensive player by his side, and there was no chance to help defend his teammates.

Of course, if you encounter a defensive little rookie, it won't hurt to make a foul.

And this is where Ginobili is witty.

Tracy McGrady faced James' defense and made a dribble under the crotch to make a retreat and make a shot.

5 to 4!

There is no doubt that McGrady's shot is extremely chic, full of skills, talent, and picturesque.

However, this singles is really difficult!

This is the so-called superstar.

The last time the Magic attacked, Duncan was actually a giant planet.

Of course, Chen Xiao did the same just now.

As soon as the game came up, the two teams even attacked three giant planets, instantly bringing the atmosphere of the game.

"This game is great!"

The Cavaliers attacked. This time it was not James who was pushing the ball, but Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao took the ball and pushed through the half-court with James. After putting Parker in front of him, Chen Xiao accelerated and rushed directly to Parker. The defense went to the basket.

James and Chen Xiao have the same breakthrough style. Why is Chen Xiao not afraid of being fouled by Parker?

It is also because of Parker's defensive style that Parker can release James to shoot, but he dare not release Chen Xiao. Parker is very close to Chen Xiao's defense.

Not a fake tight harassment of James, but a real tight!

After Chen Xiao broke through Parker's defense, he went straight to the basket, and Duncan could only come up to help defend.

Duncan, who plays a power forward, has a really wide range of assistance.

but!

After Duncan came to his side, Chen Xiao jumped up, and then faced Duncan who had jumped. As soon as he turned his right hand, the basketball was transferred to Raheem's hand.

Raheem, who received a pass from Chen Xiao, faced Pachulia's defense this time, instead of turning around and breaking through, he shot the ball from close range.

why?

Pachulia didn't dare to be too aggressive this time after being broken by Rahim because he rushed too hard last time.

This gives Raheem a shot.

Brush!

Hit!

7 to 4!

The Cavaliers' Nowitzki is best at this kind of mid- and short-range shooting.

Especially when playing Pachulia, the average block per game will be 0.5 without jumping inside, which is even better.

"Really clear, the Cavaliers' offense is really clear!"

After the game started, Barkley on the sidelines was stunned by the Cavaliers' offensive and defensive state in this game.

The same goes for Kenny Smith next to him.

"Forcing the magic team of the team to play the extremely adventurous giant planet, but on my own side, the superstars and the team ball can take turns to play. The Cavaliers are definitely prepared for this game!"

Of course come prepared!

All have been preparing for the Magic for a season!

Is it easy for Carlisle to defeat these five elements throughout the season with his reputation as a pig?

not easy!

Therefore, seeing that on the court, the team that has polished himself for a season grabbed the Magic's seven-inch play, Carlisle was filled with pride while gratifying.

At this time, Magic coach Dou Grievous, who had been laughing at Carlisle Dude, was already a little panicked.

Faced with the highly targeted defense of the Cavaliers, the giant planet cannot last long.

On the court, McGrady, who cut to the three-point line, received a pass from Ginobili and watched Gerald Wallace who was stuck beside Duncan at this time. He gritted his teeth and did not give Duncan the ball. It's not that he doesn't want to, and it's not that he's thinking about it.

Rather, at the moment Gerald Wallace stuck Duncan a little bit, Chandler was already up!

Passing past is flanking, this is pitting Duncan!

Chandler is too fast!

The defensive position is also great!

This time McGrady, who didn't dare to pass the ball to Duncan, could only grit his teeth against James' defense, and pulled out the basketball on his hand.

But the shooting rhythm has been lost this time, plus James is really high and defensively good.

Clang!

Strike iron.

Looking back, the Cavaliers attacked, and Chen Xiao dribbled the ball after halftime and continued to pick and roll with James. This time, McGrady and Parker chose to attack Chen Xiao.

Facing a pincer, Chen Xiao made a light back pass. James, who received Chen Xiao's pass, put on a tank cap and rushed in.

On the way Xiao Zhan charged, Ginobili shot and cut the ball, and was circumvented by the alert Xiao Zhan with both hands raised, facing Xiao Zhan's reckless charge.

Between the sparks and flints, Duncan finally gritted his teeth and chose to follow Raheem who was pulled out, and handed over to Pachulia the responsibility of keeping the basket.

This is the weakness of Duncan, who plays power forward. His range of defense has increased, but his influence at the basket has decreased.

Raheem's shot was too accurate, he couldn't let it go.

And Raheem is too experienced in playing Duncan. Like Bosh, when encountering Duncan such a perfect insider, he will panic and feel that he is doing everything wrong.

Raheem had no such idea at all.

After all, on the offensive end, whether it's the four big forwards or the five big forwards, he has never falsified.

If you can't win, you can't win, but he has never been afraid!

Many people have the strength, but they can't show their strength against Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki and others.

But Raheem can.

And this is Raheem's most precious place.

In the face of Pachulia’s defense, Xiao Zhan regarded as air at all. Your body is not wide enough, and the bounce is so good. James sticks to Pachulia’s body, passes through Pachulia’s arms, and rushes out. At the same time off the court, the basketball was put into the basket by him.

The standard Jane tank layup, the man is already outside, but the ball is already in the frame.

9 to 4!

The score is opening!

And it is being pulled apart at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Spurs' extremely powerful defense seems to be leaking everywhere at the moment.

At this point in the game, even Magic fans who didn't quite understand what was going on in the game also discovered the seriousness of the problem.

"Aren't we dominant?"

"We are suppressed!"

Originally, Magic fans thought that after 48 minutes of the game, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com was another victory.

However, this situation is completely wrong!

Because, when the first quarter of the game ended, the Cavaliers were 30 to 22 away, leading by a full 8 points!

The offensive and defensive ends are almost suppressed across the board!

Watching the score on TV, because of losing the game against Magic, failing to meet Chen Xiao in the playoffs for two consecutive years, Wade has been a little confused recently, thinking about taking shortcuts, Wade is dumbfounded.

Can Chen beat the Magic without playing brother basketball? !

Then who should my brother play basketball? !
