I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 498: Domination!

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets fell behind the Bobcats by 7 points. Faced with the Bobcats, who had a strong rotation, Pat Riley certainly couldn't use the rotation step by step.

If this is the case, this game will explain it.

So the five players in the Nets rotation are Miki Moore, Persian Jan Naheba, Richard Jefferson, Carter and Joe Johnson.

The two starters brought two substitutes.

Mickey Moore is 32 years old, center, Persian Jane-Nahba, 27 years old, forward. The two are the most important rotation players for the Nets this season. They can average 8 points per game and 7.5 points per game, which can be said to make up for it. The Nets' five forwards have a lot of deficiencies in the paint.

And both are offensive. Persian-Nahba has shot more than 40% of his three-pointers this season, while Mikimore's mid- and long-range shots are close to 50%.

They are two very good space strikers.

There are two strikers like this to empty the space, and then to cooperate with the super-strong outside line of the singles of the layups.

Even if the second quarter has not started, many people can feel the Nets' super offensive ability in this rotation.

Compared with the Nets' rotation, the Bobcats' rotation has also changed a lot in this game.

Center Bynum, power forward Randolph, small forward Aldridge, shooting guard Jack, point guard is Chris Paul.

The Bobcats rotation is actually also an offensive rotation.

It's just that the Bobcats' rotation is a bit taller and heavier compared to the very spatial rotation of the Nets.

The two rotations of the Bobcats and Nets really have a taste of tit-for-tat. At the very least, it seems that no one on either side can prevent each other.

So, seeing the top-heavy rotation of the Bobcats, the Nets coach Pat Riley on the sidelines frowned.

He really didn't expect that Jordan would play Bynum, Randolph and Aldridge three insiders.

Bynum and Aldridge's athletic abilities are actually good, and although they are not comparable to the outside, they may not be so slow to play.

If the three of them go to the basket, the impact of the Nets will be uncomfortable.

Although Moore and Persian Jane-Nahba can pull out and shoot, the Nets' scoring mainly depends on three star players such as Carter, Joe Johnson and Richard Jefferson. Even if these two role players have a chance to pull out, The Nets can't really play these two all the time.

Moreover, this is for the purpose of tracking points. What kind of tracking method is the best?

Of course, it's hitting the basket, dunking, layup!

Richard Jefferson and Carter and Joe Johnson have very strong impact capabilities.

so?

"Jordan predicted my prediction in advance? Defensively defended the basket and bet on our hand touch, while attacking, he used the inside line and height advantage to beat our short and soft inside line?"

If this is the case, the Nets will be really dangerous in this game.

Thinking of this, Pat Riley couldn't help but look again at Jordan, who was sitting next to the Bobcats bench and smiling. This rookie head coach is really hard to deal with at all!

If Jordan knew that Pat Riley had so many mental activities at this time, it would be incredible.

In this game, he put Bynum and Randolph and Aldridge at the same time, he really didn't think so much.

Bynum and Randolph are both the team's previous starters, and letting them play on the bench is a great sacrifice for them. If the bench lineup is no longer available, it will make them a little sad.

And Aldridge is the same.

In this case, the problem is very simple.

Let's play together, don't think about tactical play or top-heavy.

What they can show on the court depends on their own ability. If they don't play well, he will adjust the lineup.

I have to say that Uncle Joe is really bold.

In such an important game, who would believe that a coach is as casual as Uncle Joe?

It must be meaningful, so don't blame Pat Riley for thinking too much, Dihua.

Because he himself is a person who thinks a lot, how about calling it a god?

It's just that, there is a saying that the nemesis of a black belly is natural.

Especially when Jordan, a very casual rotation lineup, performed very well in the face of the Nets rotation lineup.

The Nets' rotation is indeed very strong, but there is a fatal problem, that is, the lack of the ability to attack inside.

After Bynum, Randolph and Aldridge kept the penalty area tightly guarded, Paul and Jack's two very fast guards can sweep the defense wildly outside, and the penalty area can be protected so well. , Of course they are not afraid of being broken.

Therefore, Paul and Jack are extremely aggressive and defensive.

Faced with a top-heavy lineup like the Bobcats, the best way is to play them with a small lineup of five forwards and play fast.

But obviously, Moore and Persian Jane-Nahba may not be as fast as Bynum and Aldridge.

If you really play the five forwards, is this going to let the starting game play the 48-minute rhythm?

Who can stand this?

Of course, the Bobcats’ three insides are definitely not going out on the defensive end, so Paul and Jack are mopping up outside, madly pounding people, and these two are not tall, so the Nets have a lot of outside shots. Chance.

And Moore, Persian Jane-Nahba, Carter and Joe Johnson have very good shooting abilities and good shooting percentages. So in the second quarter, although the Nets did not play the effect that Pat Riley wanted, it was OK. Scored.

It's just obvious that the Nets can score, the Bobcats can't defend, and the Bobcats can also score here.

Let’s just say that, Randolph was in the rotation and met Moore and Persian Jane-Nahba, that’s the real O’Neal!

Moore is 2.11 meters. The defense is not good. Bynum's suppression is already very miserable. The Persian Jane-Nahba, who is opposed to Randolph, is 2.06 meters, and he is still a white man with crispy skin. Can you defend Randolph with this?

One-on-one must be killed by Randolph. If you double-team, then Aldridge, Cannon and Jack will be great.

After all, this rotation of the Nets has too much space and is too offensive, so the defense is indeed too crispy.

With such a crisp defense, O'Neill Randolph will really become a real Randolph.

Therefore, during the rotation of the second quarter, the Nets took out three starters on the court to chase points.

But in the face of the Bobcats' full-substitute rotation, the Nets' rotation actually hit a 50-50.

Even if it is 50-50, this is the strength of Carter, Joe Johnson and Richard Jefferson.

Especially Carter and Joe Johnson, facing the crazy harassment of Paul and Jackson, their shooting under the anti-interference of the two are very stable.

Therefore, this game can make Pat Riley uncomfortable.

At the end of the second quarter rotation, the Nets' lagging even went from 7 points to 9 points, and it was even widened by two points.

Originally, three starters were made to chase points, but the points difference was slightly widened.

If this is not uncomfortable, what is uncomfortable?

In short, after playing the second quarter rotation time, Pat Riley has a hunch for this game.

Although the playoffs are a series, a 0 to 1 lag, or even a 0 to 2 lagging is not a big deal.

For a series, the big score in the first two games is really nothing, but what really worries him is that the Bobcats are stronger than he thought!

It's not only Chen Xiao's terrifying fairy ball ability and stability, Jordan's bold and very coaching style, and the overall strength of the Bobcats.

It can be said that the Bobcats' style reminds Pat Riley of the Cavaliers coached by Carlisle.

This Bobcat does not have a 100-point tactical system and style of play, but each style of play can achieve more than ninety points.

This is a bit scary.

And if such a team cooperates with a coach who has the ability to play restraint, it would be even more terrifying.

That's right, Pat Riley, who thought a lot, saw in Jordan the shadow of Carlisle, the hottest coach in the NBA, and the Cavaliers in the Bobcats.

For a series, the first game is often more important than the outcome of the game.

Pat Riley also came with a tentative heart.

After testing halftime, watching the 50-60 score at this time, Pat Riley looked calm, but anyone who knows Pat Riley should know the waves under Pat Riley's calm appearance at this time.

You know, more dangerous than the 10-point lagging is that Carter and Joe Johnson played for 48 minutes in the first half!

It can be said that for the Nets, this tentative game, at halftime, the Nets basically explained it.

Although he thought that he might not win the game, Pat Riley never expected to lose so quickly.

However, Pat Riley is different from D'Antoni after all.

Soon, Pat Riley recovered his mood.

Since this game is a tentative game, it is natural to test out the weaknesses of the Bobcats.

Especially the starting lineups of Weber, Chen Xiao, Granger, Barnes and Roy that the Bobcats will use in this round of the series, it is definitely necessary to test out the weaknesses of this set of starting.

Therefore, he needs to find some solutions in the second half to try the Bobcats' new starting lineup.

This is difficult for any NBA coach.

There is a 15-minute break at halftime. In such a short time, you have to find a solution and try to be on the court to see if it is effective.

For a coach like D'Antoni who is not very resilient, it's harder than killing him.

But for a **** operator like Pat Riley, this question was difficult to answer on the spot, but Pat Riley still found some of his own answers in the second half.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players could clearly feel the changes in the way the Nets responded to the game when they played against them.

"The Nets have increased a lot of confrontation against Weber, and Pat Riley is consuming Weber!"

"The Nets defensive players in front of Barnes are intentionally releasing Barnes, and the Nets players are using the defensive power gained from releasing Barnes to increase the difficulty of offensive for the Bobcats' outside singles players!"

I have to say that the **** fortune teller is a real **** fortune teller, although the time to answer the question is not long, but the answer he gives is quite accurate.

If this is a 100-point math problem, the **** operator Pat Riley only took 15 minutes to give an 85-minute answer.

So, in the first half, the Bobcats scored 60 points, and in the second half, the Bobcats scored 50 points in the entire half.

There is no doubt that Patley used Webber and release Barnes to strengthen the defense of Chen Xiao and Roy Granger, which really affected the offensive efficiency of the Bobcats.

In the end, the Bobcats won the game. The final big score was 110-98. The Bobcats won the Nets away by 12 points.

It can also be seen from this score that the reason for the Nets' loss in this game is not their defensive problems, but their offensive problems.

In the first half, the Bobcats took the initiative to reduce the lineup in the starting lineup, and competed with the Nets one-on-one singles ability, the Nets lost.

In the second half, Pat Riley found a way for the Nets to limit the Bobcats slightly, but his two main singles, Carter and Joe Johnson, due to physical problems, the efficiency of the second half of the singles also declined, and ultimately lost.

Therefore, at the end of the game, as TNT's commentator, Kenny Smith touted Chen Xiao's stability while also touting Jordan frantically.

"Jordan's successful change to the Bobcats is the key to the Bobcats defeating the Nets in this game!"

"Kenny, I support your statement, but if there weren't 15 points and 20 points in the first and second half of this game, Jordan’s change would fail."

In this game, Chen Xiao made 14 of 31, 4 of 9 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws. He scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the game.

Barkley said Chen Xiao was the key to the Bobcats' victory, but he was not bragging about Chen Xiao.

It can be seen from Chen Xiao’s data that Chen Xiao has made a lot of shots, not many three-pointers, and few free throws. Obviously, the Nets’ defense is very aggressive outside the three-point line, and Chen Xiao also doesn’t have too many shots. The breakthrough to the basket creates a chance to kill.

Chen Xiao is like this, other Bobcats players can naturally imagine, the five forwards of the Nets, this game defensively put the Bobcats' offense in the paint zone and the area in the three-point line.

It is also often referred to as the mid-range or two-point shooting zone.

In the case of the Nets with such a strong defensive intensity, Chen Xiao, as the Nets' main defense player, can make 10 of 21 two-pointers in this game, which can be said to be very good.

Especially in the second half, when the Nets changed their defensive strategy and the Bobcats encountered some problems in their offense, Chen Xiao scored steadily and stabilized the lead for the Bobcats.

Therefore, after the game, Pat Riley also said: "Although this game is a tentative game for both sides, we have a chance to win in the end. There is no doubt that Wonder Boy has put out countless times. Our counterattack.

There is no doubt that Wonder Boy is the best player in the NBA right now, and he can always save the team in times of desperation. "

After the game, Pat Riley really praised Chen Xiao.

It can be seen that Pat Riley really likes a player like Chen Xiao who is strong, talented and perfectly meets his aesthetic standards.

Chen Xiao didn't think there was anything to be able to get such praise from Pat Riley.

To be honest, as far as his current position in the NBA is concerned, after which game is not the opponent's bragging and praise?

It's just that Pat Riley is more famous than other opponents.

On the contrary, it was Boss Joe, who was a little drifting after receiving strong compliments from Pat Riley.

"Chen, do I really hold Zhizhu as Pat Riley said?"

Faced with questions like Jordan's, Chen Xiao didn't know how to answer.

Boss, you don't know yourself, how do you let me know?

On May 8, 2007, after a day of rest in New Jersey, Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players will continue to face the Nets at the Continental Airlines Arena.

Because the Bobcats won the last game, the Bobcats did not make any major tactical adjustments. Just before the game, Jordan emphasized to the Bobcats players to be more decisive when attacking and defending. Be more focused.

Fans who know the NBA should know that this is a very regular rhetoric of the NBA head coach.

In G1, the Nets are stronger and more optimistic. So the Nets are bright and the Bobcats are dark.

The win in the last game brought the Bobcats of G2 to the bright spot. The Bobcats won, and there can be no change, and the losing Nets have become a dark spot.

Therefore, Jordan, Chen Xiao and Bobcats players are mentally prepared for the difficulties of G2.

Sure enough, at the beginning of this game, the Nets, who lost the ball, were very ferocious.

The five forwards are suitable for the kind of high-intensity and aggressive defense, because five people can run and jump, so they can not only invade, but also recover.

This is why they could suppress the Bobcats' offensive area in the middle distance in the last game.

You don’t think why the team is eligible to be killed in the middle distance, do you?

If it weren’t for a super defensive team like the Pistons or the Spurs back then, the average team would be sifted when encountering the Bobcats, three-pointers, breakthroughs, mid-range, everything, only super teams like the Nets Only a strong defensive team can limit the Bobcats' such excellent offense to a certain area.

The Nets were killed by the Bobcats in the last game. This statement is not only a praise for the Bobcats' mid-range singles, but also a praise for the Nets' defense.

In this game, with the help of home court advantage, the Nets significantly increased their invasion of the Bobcats.

The aggressiveness became more fierce.

This made the Bobcats who were very efficient in singles in the last game, and the offensive efficiency of this game was greatly reduced.

In the end, the Nets also recovered a game 92 to 82 at home.

In this game, the Bobcats team's shooting percentage was only 43%, and this 43% shooting percentage was achieved by Chen Xiao's 12-of-20 shooting in this game.

Let's put it this way, when Granger and Roy played against the Nets' five forwards, when they were one-on-one, the confrontation was a loss.

Only Chen Xiao can take advantage of power and confrontation, so whether Chen Xiao is outside the three-point line, mid-range or under the basket, as long as it is one-on-one, he will have good efficiency.

Perhaps because of the Nets' high defensive strength, Chen Xiao shot less, but his efficiency is definitely not low~www.NovelMTL.com~ Now Chen Xiao's one-on-one ability has a bit of the style of O'Neal, the peak of the year.

That is, as long as one-on-one, as long as the shot, the hit rate will not be less than 50%.

Therefore, after the end of the game, although Pat Riley led the team to win the game, he did not claim that he scored 27 points in the game. Carter, the highest in the Nets team, instead blew the loss. Chen Xiao scored 34 points.

"In Wonder Boy, I saw the feeling of Shaq O'Neal back then."

"What kind of feeling is that?"

The reporters are very curious.

"It feels full of dominance. I don't know which player in NBA history is stronger, Chen, Michael, Shaq or Chamberlain, but I think Chen and O'Neal are the two most dominant players in NBA history!"

After Pat Riley finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.
