I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 499: Chen Xiao's stability, Jordan's courage!

For truly top teams like the Nets and Bobcats, the team itself actually has no fatal weaknesses.

In other words, when the five fronts of the Nets are defensive, they will leave opponents with two-point singles opportunities in the middle and long distances.

But is this an Achilles’ heel?

Not to mention the fatal weakness, not even the shortcomings.

In the face of Carter, Joe Johnson, Marion, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin, how efficient can you play one perimeter on the outside in a game?

You can vote very accurately in this game, and you are likely to be very iron in the next game.

Because their single defense strength is there, not everyone has Chen Xiao or Jordan as stable as them.

Another example is the Bobcats. When the Bobcats are attacking, because of Webber's age and body, they are more confrontational. For example, Barnes is an ordinary role player and may not be confident enough when attacking.

But is this a disadvantage?

The same is not a fatal flaw.

Weber is more confrontational, because at your home court, you can increase the intensity of the game without worrying about fouls.

However, you can't be home every game.

There is also the issue of Barnes on the offensive end.

In the last game in New Jersey, Barnes made a terrible shot, but don't forget that in this season's playoffs, Barnes shot 45 and 42 three-pointers.

Moreover, Barnes is a very big-hearted player and a champion player who won the NBA championship.

Because he is a role player, the offense is indeed not that stable, but in terms of his strength and mentality, if you succeeded in the last game, it does not mean that this game will also succeed.

Therefore, the Bobcats and the Nets do have their own shortcomings when they meet each other, but these shortcomings are not even shortcomings.

This is why Jordan returned to Charlotte after losing in g2 and basically didn't intend to make any tactical changes.

After g1 Jordan took the lead in showing his hole cards, he had no plans to change his tactical intentions in the subsequent games.

According to the match between the two teams in the regular season, Jordan has determined that the Bobcats' starting lineup must not use Bynum and Randolph when facing the Nets' five forwards.

In this case, Jordan actually has no room for adjustment.

Now, both teams basically show their cards.

In a round of this level of strong-competition, the two teams put up all the cards as soon as they came up. It can only be said that Boss Joe did not follow the rules and changed the game as soon as he came up. There was no temptation at all.

For Jordan, anyway, I made a clear card, because playing the Nets, it is such a possibility, no other changes, Pat Riley's five forwards are so strong.

With no major tactical changes on both sides, the details of this round of the series and the stability of the player's state are very important.

In terms of stability, the Bobcats definitely have an advantage. Chen Xiao is the most stable player in the NBA. When the two teams are in bad condition and the hands are not good, Chen Xiao's stability is the advantage of the Bobcats.

Similarly, because the Nets have more stars, so when everyone is in good condition, the Nets are the dominant team.

Obviously, Jordan's excellent sense of the game, although he is not strong in coaching ability, but keenly discovered the key to this round of the series.

So, logically speaking, after the Bobcats were destroyed by the Nets' high-intensity oppressive defense in the last game, the average head coach must be thinking about avoiding the Nets' defense and not fighting with the Nets. Defensively, fights hard.

But after returning from New Jersey, at the Bobcats training ground, Jordan was instilling the intensity of the Bobcats and the Nets players in the competition and the hardness of defense.

To be fair, seeing Jordan do this, not to mention the Bobcats players, even the two assistant coaches Cole and Curry of the Bobcats were shocked.

"This is because you know that there are tigers in the mountains and go to Hushan. Get up hard, Jordan is too hard!"

In the Bobcats training hall, Xiao Su couldn't help but exclaim.

The Bobcats are in the playoffs, and training is closed. Xiao Su and Teacher Zhang are the only reporters who can come in.

However, it is also impossible to report what was seen in the training ground before the game.

In short, for the Bobcats, in the Nets' home court, returning to their home court with a big score of 1-1, this is a pretty good result.

So everyone's morale is quite high. Under Jordan's leadership, the Bobcats players are also preparing for the battle.

After playing the first two games of g2, the Bobcats were satisfied, and the Nets were actually very satisfied.

In the case of g1 mainly tentatively lost, g2 took it back immediately, and crushed the Bobcats, a super offensive team, to less than 90 points. Seriously, for Pat For Riley, the Nets' performance in the last game was perfect.

In this playoffs with the Bobcats, Jordan did not play cards according to the routine when he came up. It was indeed a bit uncomfortable for him, but the Nets are still stronger than the Bobcats.

This is the moat that can't be crossed anyway.

His five-forward system, in a word, is that any team needs to compete with them in singles

Jordan sees it very clearly, so when he comes up, he doesn't get it all right, he doesn't try, don't send one or two games to understand, but when he comes up, he uses outside singles to fight for the Nets.

G1 was very successful, and the Nets were caught off guard.

But when the Nets reacted, the Bobcats basically had no chance.

Let's put it this way, in the entire league, the only possible team that can beat them in singles is the Heat!

Yao Ming and Chris Bosh’s singles did a lot of damage to their five forwards, in addition to Wade and Antoine Walker, two unreasonable outside stars.

Therefore, in the regular season, facing other strong teams, the Nets are dominant. Only when facing the Heat are 50-50.

But the Bobcats, although this team's perimeter singles strength is also very strong, but Chen Xiao has only one!

Except for Chen Xiao, other positions are not as good as the Nets' five forwards in singles!

Even if Chen Xiao meets Marion, his singles power will actually be limited.

When this round of the series finally needs to rely on singles to determine the victory, the Nets are invincible.

Especially after the Nets increase the intensity of the game.

So, although he came here with a big score of 1-1, Pat Riley didn't worry about losing a game at home. He was quite relaxed and in a good mood.

When interviewed by reporters before the game, the performance was also quite relaxed.

"Mr. Riley, did the big victory in the last game let you find a way to beat the Bobcats?"

"The last game is indeed the key to this series. The Bobcats are a very young, aggressive and strong team. They are very difficult to deal with. I won't say that the victory of a game was found to defeat them. No one can even find a way to defeat them."

"Then in this game, will you give the Bobcats the same intensity and confrontation as the previous game?"

"certainly."

The relaxed smile on Pat Riley's face made the reporters in the audience very speechless.

Having said that there is no way to find a way, how can this game continue the way of the previous game?

Although I complained in my heart, who made this person Pat Riley?

I have to say that at this point, Pat Riley is indeed much better than D'Antoni.

D'Antoni was also effective against the Bobcats at home before, but when he arrived at the away game, he looked forward and backward, not very daring, and finally lost his chance.

But Pat Riley is completely different. Why worry about being caught by the referee desperately after the intensity of the away field, and finally losing because of the foul crisis, don't talk about these.

I have coached the playoffs for so many years, and I have never seen a few times that the referee in the playoffs caught the visiting team for fouls.

Compared with the gains from the strength, the bad future after the strength can be ignored at all.

It has to be said that Pat Riley is not only more sophisticated than D'Antoni, but also more experienced than D'Antoni.

Although Pat Riley did not say that he had found a way to defeat the Bobcats, in his heart and on his face, he showed clearly.

And when answering reporters’ questions, they didn’t even hide.

Why is this happening?

Because the two teams have shown their cards in this series, the Bobcats' tactical play in this series is no longer a secret to them, and he doesn't believe that he will say so, Jordan will fight him desperately.

The Nets have obvious advantages. They can be infinitely oppressive, while Jordan and the Bobcats will only keep retreating, and then try to steal a two-game victory!

As a head coach with a lot of thinking, Pat Riley is quite confident about his prediction.

After experiencing a defeat like G2, Jordan and the Bobcats must be thinking about how to avoid the Nets confrontation.

It's just that, obviously, Jordan's decisiveness and a little unusual style shocked Pat Riley again.

On May 12, 2007, the Bobcats and the Nets' g3, the Bobcats and the Nets fought a very high-intensity defensive battle.

In this game, the two teams played horribly.

In the away game, the Nets fouled 27 times and made 26 shots from 75 shots. The field goal percentage was less than 36.

On the Bobcats side, the Bobcats had 26 fouls in this game, and 65 shots made 27 of them, and the field goal percentage was less than 42.

From the data of the two teams, we can see how strong the defensive strength of the two teams is in this game. The average number of fouls per quarter of the two teams in this game exceeded 13 times.

In this game, the Bobcats of the two teams took 37 free throws and the Nets took 32 free throws.

In this game, Roy fouled four times, Webber fouled five times, Chen Xiao fouled four times, and Xiao Pao fouled five times. On the Nets side, Carter fouled four times, Martin fouled five times, Joe Johnson fouled five times, Richard D Jefferson and Marion each fouled four times.

According to ordinary people's guess, after the Bobcats were defeated by the Nets in the last game, this game must not dare to fight head-on with the Nets.

But Jordan took his group of young people and rushed directly!

And it was so successful, this is shocking!

From this game, the Nets took 75 shots and the Bobcats took 65 shots. It can be seen that the Bobcats are indeed a little disadvantaged in the case of hard fight, and the Nets will get slightly more ball rights.

However, much is limited.

After all, the Bobcats have 5 more free throws, which can be converted into 3 shots.

At the same time, although the Nets will have more mobile phones, but because of the extremely difficult defense intensity, the hit rate is not very high.

Joe Johnson made 6 of 23 shots, Richard Jefferson was 3 of 12, Marion was 5 of 13, Carter was 6 of 14, and Martin was 3 of 7.

None of the five starters even shot more than 50%.

In this game, the Bobcats did a very good home defense.

Roy vs. Joe Johnson, Barnes vs. Carter, Granger vs. Richard Jefferson, Chen Xiao vs. Marion, and Webber vs. Martin, basically did not give opponents a good chance of attacking.

Of course, with such a strong defensive force, the Bobcats' players are actually very mediocre on the offensive end.

For example, Webber is 3 of 7, Barnes is 1 of 6, Granger is 4 of 8, and Roy is 7 of 19. If you don't look at Chen Xiao, the Bobcats' offense is not very good.

But as the Bobcats' strongest offensive player, how can you not watch it?

In this game, Chen Xiao made 11 of 18, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 12 of 17 free throws. He scored 36 points in the game!

18 shots, 36 points, in such a high-intensity defensive game, playing such an efficiency, it is incredible!

In this match between the two teams, when the two teams struggled stamina, confrontation, defense, and at the end, when both teams were exhausted, Chen Xiao relied on his super physical strength in the fourth quarter, crazy. Breakthrough, hit 8 free throws in a single quarter.

In the end, with the Bobcats trailing by 4 points in the first three quarters, in the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Chen Xiao with 16 points in a single quarter, the Bobcats beat the Bobcats 26 to 20, and finally completed the reversal and defeated at home by 88 to 86. Nets.

Obviously, in this game Pat Riley never thought that Jordan and the Bobcats would fight against the Nets in such a positive way.

Even many expert reporters never thought that Jordan would be so rigid and brave.

Therefore, in the press conference after the game, facing the crazy exclamation of reporters from all over the United States, Jordan smiled very pretended to be b.

"In your mind, is Michael Jordan the kind of weak person?"

"Or, in your mind, Wonder Boy is the kind of coward who only brushes data during the regular season?"

"I am strong, Chen is tenacious, all of us are brave enough not to be afraid of any challenge!"

Jordan didn't wait for these people to react, so he smiled and left with a cigar in his hand.

Yes, Jordan, the rookie head coach, coached at the Bobcats, and even gave Pat Riley a feeling of injecting the style of his player era into the Bobcats.

Injecting one's own playing style into a team, this is not something that everyone can do!

It should be said that few people in the history of NBA can do it!

Not to mention the way Jordan did it so well.

In the training ground, let the Bobcats players practice heads-up.

In the game, the Bobcats played crazy one-on-one singles with their opponents, and they were not afraid of one-on-one with their opponents like a mad dog.

This really surprised Pat Riley.

Jordan is not only the chosen son of the players and general manager, but he is also the chosen son of the coach, right?

If this is the case, then he is really jealous!

Pat Riley, who originally brought the Nets to Charlotte, felt that the game would not be easy. Com, but the Nets will definitely win in the end.

But g3 Jordan brought the Bobcats to the Nets with a big deal, so Pat Riley and the Nets are now in a very dangerous situation.

g4, it will be very difficult to play!

In fact, the same is true. On May 14, the Bobcats and the Nets' g4, the Bobcats and the Nets had the same anxious, same high-intensity, high-defense game. With Chen Xiao's full game of 23, 12, it was still efficient 33. In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Nets 85-83 at home!

3 to 1!

After the end of g2, the Nets, which was considered the superior in strength, were sent out of the playoffs with one foot after Charlotte lost two games in a row!

After the Bobcats and the Nets played g4, the entire NBA was in an uproar!

ps: Su Bingtian is amazing, he is the protagonist!
