basketball never sleeps

Chapter 96 What a pass
Many people feel that the Princeton system is gorgeous because of its complexity.

In fact, it is not. Compared with traditional tactics, the biggest feature of Princeton is that it is a very "free" tactic. It does not have a fixed offensive route, nor a fixed offensive routine. It just follows a few principles. Through continuous running, screens, and selfless distribution of the ball, he pulls out the opponent's defensive loopholes.

It sounds simple, but in fact, just like the triangle offense, what Princeton really tests is the individual ability of the players and the tacit understanding between each other. These two tactics have never been reproduced by any team, and it is also because they have a good understanding of the team's player configuration. The requirements are too harsh.

After recovering from the shock of being scored in three seconds, the Kings also showed their fangs.

The first attack of the Kings showed their "indeterminate" position. The five people were loosely staggered. Unlike other teams' introversion and madness towards the basket, the two insiders of the Kings were not on both sides. Cruising in the elbow zone is to move in front of the free throw line.

The white devil Bibby stood at a position 45 degrees outside the three-point line and held the ball. After he passed the ball to Brad Miller in front of the free throw line, the entire lineup of the Kings began to link.

First, Bibby ran towards the top of the arc without the ball with the help of Miller's screen. Christie made an off-ball screen for Peja on the other side and watched him run to the top of the arc. Bibby bypassed Brad Miller and started to go inside without the ball. During the air cut, Peja also went around the top of the arc and came behind Weber on the opposite side.

After Brad Miller made a move to pass the ball to Bibby, he passed the ball to Peja who ran out of space without looking at anyone.

Rasul, who was defending Peja, was blocked again and attracted the attention of the defense by an air cut. When Peja caught the ball and took off, the front of his fingertips were still half a meter away from Peja.

Peja leveled the score with a knife in his hand, and gave Mo Wen a smug look.

Mo Wen didn't care about him, but after receiving the ball from O'Neal, he advanced slowly according to the rhythm of the Heat.

He forced him to be strong, and the breeze was blowing on the hills.

After halftime, Mo Wen's eyes were on Peja and Weber.

The defense of the Kings at their peak was not particularly bad. Whether it was Webber, Christie, or the role players on the bench, the defense at the same position was above the standard line.

The king's defense was still passable in the seven games against the Lakers that year. During the entire regular season of the 02-03 season, the opponents the king could defend against shot only 42%, which ranked first in the league. The changes and Webber's injury, the Kings at this stage are the bottom of the top ten teams in the current record, whether in terms of defensive efficiency or various defensive statistics.

Mo Wen was not in a hurry to hit Peja, but waited for Ao Pang to get in position, and then made a fake pass, leaned over and passed the ball lightly to the ground with one hand, and sent the ball to Ao Pang who was already in position.

Ao Pang hit Brad Miller, who was 40 kilograms lighter than him, and easily squeezed into the inside line with three or two hits, and put the ball into the basket with a small hook, 5:3.

Brad Miller is also an old six-type player. Similar to Mo Wen, he also likes to use small moves to make up for his own deficiencies in defense.

The most famous thing about him is that in 02, when he was defending O'Pang, he put two arms on the left and right of O'Pang's head, connected with his previous small movements, and was so angry with O'Pang, luckily he escaped from O'Pang's attack A hard hammer, but then he was ruthlessly suppressed by Ao Pang's Taishan and received an old punch under him, because Ao Pang kept pulling on Brad Miller's clothes and refused to let go. In the end, the referee gave Miller the clothes It was cut off, and the upper body was naked to escape.

But the Kings were not discouraged. After so many years of entanglement with the Lakers in the West, they had long been used to the days with O'Neal and became numb.

In the offensive round of the Kings, they did not continue the offensive tactics of the previous round. This is Princeton. Their own players do not know what kind of position and tactics will be played in this round. As long as Bibby sees no chance, Just hand the ball to Brad Miller or Webb, run with your teammates and you're done.

Mo Wen didn't defend Christie this round, but switched defenses with Rasul, and he defended Peja, who was a head taller than him.

Some men say they don't care, but they care about it in their hearts.

It's just that Mo Wen has been aboveboard all his life, and he doesn't do those things of stabbing people in the back - he usually stabs people face to face.

The NH rules are more for players with the ball. For players without the ball, the intensity of confrontation has not been reduced. In order to show respect for Peja, Mo Wen also used [-]% of his strength.

Then Peja ran even harder.

If you don't run, it's impossible for others to prevent him from running without the ball. At most, they are holding hands with him, grabbing his clothes, etc., but Mo Wen is directly aiming at his life.

Mo Wen's hand was quite strong, and pinching his thigh was as painful as an ordinary person pinching his hip.

Brad Miller, who held the ball in the high position, keenly noticed the small theater of Peja and Mo Wen, his eyes were like copper bells, and he shot lightning-like shrewdness.

He originally thought that his pinching skills were invincible in the world, but he didn't expect that the world's unique skills were far more than this.

At first glance, Mo Wen's hair extension looks like ordinary physical contact, but if you look closely, you will find that Peja's jersey is dented!

Peja had tried his best to shake his elbow and arm, but his chaotic and emotional movements could not beat Mo Wen at all, and instead attracted the attention of the referee frequently.

However, Peja still maintained a minimum of rationality. With the cover of his teammates, he was still able to open a certain gap.

It's just that Brad Miller didn't pass the ball to him this round, but saw Webb who was close to being emptied after covering with his teammates last night in the middle distance just now.

Haslem, who was almost out of position, hurried back to the defense, but he didn't want Webb to take the ball and took two steps towards the baseline, grabbed a little space, squeezed sideways into the basket and scored the ball with a clean dunk.

Ao Pang was pulled out by Brad Miller, and he failed to return to the defense immediately, and he was not discouraged. It was not the first time when he was stolen by the King when he was in the Lakers.

Brad Miller can't help but defend, Miller's free throw percentage at the center position is the top three among active centers.

The main theme of the first quarter is that the two sides exchange their nests.

The Heat can't prevent Princeton, and the Kings can't prevent the Heat's star singles.

34:34; The two teams drew.

Peja was very uncomfortable being defended by Mo Wen. Except for the first shot, he missed all the next three catches.

Webber has shown his power inside. Compared with Webber who can go inside and outside, and can be positive and negative, Haslem is still a little tender. As long as the young Harbin team gives Webber a little room to start, it will be difficult to keep up with the interference. , He made 9 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored a game-high 16 points.

Mo Wen didn't take many shots in this quarter. The next 3 shots were all three-pointers. He made 3 of 1 shots. In addition to the three-pointer at the beginning, he scored 6 points and was still qualified. Christie, who was in charge of defending him, The only defensive expert of the Kings, the 35-year-old Christie may have more than enough energy to defend against Wade, but Mo Wen's speed is not so fast, and Mo Wen did not fight hard against this kind of old guy who is not easy to eat.

Wade and O'Pang became the main attackers of the Heat. Both of them played with good efficiency, and they each handed in 12 and 11 points.

In the second quarter, Da Fan rarely used the pitching lineup, replaced Damon Jones and Big Zhi, and put on a posture to confront the king.

After playing for another half a quarter, O'Pang was replaced by Leinart, who had just returned from injury, and the Heat's lineup was stretched even further.

Leinart was the No. [-] pick in the same draft as O'Neal. In college, he had always overwhelmed O'Pang. Unfortunately, after entering the NBA, the talent gap began to show. In his career of more than ten years, he only made the All-Star once and experienced many times. Injured, his athletic ability has declined sharply and he is close to retirement, but he still has a long two-point shot that is as accurate as the peak Jordan.

The core of this lineup is the same as Princeton, which is also a high pick-and-roll. However, compared with the Kings players who are not outstanding in personal ability, the Heat don't need too many fancy running positions and passes. They only need to give the ball to Wade. Relying on his breakthrough, it is hard to beat the king.

On the defensive end, except for Mo Wenchao who is very optimistic about Peja, the others are more of a defensive posture, forcing the Kings players to take more shots from the outside.

The players of the Kings all have shooting ability, but relying on their shooting percentage of less than [-]%, it is difficult to kill the game by shooting.

Seeing this, Bibby increased his three-point shots, but his touch today was mediocre. He made 7 of 3 shots in the first half, and his efficiency was good, but his deterrence was not enough.

Wade had a strong desire to attack, so Mo Wen basically let him play. Chasing and defending Peja was very exhausting. If he caught both offense and defense, he would have to be a real man for only three quarters like the Rockets.

"Don't run Peja, any of your running positions and techniques are invalid in front of my eyes."

At the end of the third quarter, looking at Peja who was out of breath, Mo Wen pointed to his eyes and said in the tone of a dutiful son.

"Oh shit, it's not your little shit-like moves, can you prevent me?"

Peja was not reconciled. He shot 14 times in three quarters and only hit 3 times. He told the referee that he had no news other than telling him to stay rational. He was still violated by Mo Wen in various ways. What should he do? Row?Now he wished that Mo Wen could do something to him, otherwise, would Mo Wen, who was hiding in the shadows, never be punished?

Chilling!
"All unfavorable factors in this world are caused by the lack of ability of the person concerned. So, don't make excuses for your weakness!"

While Mo Wen was talking trash, he noticed Christie's intention to pass the ball from the corner of his eye. He made a decisive sprint and intercepted the basketball before Peja could catch the ball.

Facing the approaching Peja, Mo Wen was not in a hurry to protect the ball. He noticed that Wade, who was sprinting forward, was facing Peja on one side, blocking his vision. To the front field.

"What a pass?"

Seeing the basketball that accurately flew in front of Wade, the on-site commentator roared in shock.

Wade, who was used to Mo Wen's wonderful pass, didn't have time to think about how Mo Wen passed it. He picked up the basketball and jumped up, bowed in the air, and hit the basket hard.

With this dunk, the scores of the two teams also reached double digits.
