The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 204 Unlimited Switching
The so-called infinite change of defense means that when facing the ball holder and his teammates in the pick-and-roll, the player who originally defended the ball holder does not need to chase and defend the ball holder too much, but the player who is facing the pick-and-roll personnel to defend the ball holder.

In simple terms, it is to keep a defender in front of the ball handler at all times.

This is easier said than done!
The key is that he has a premise, that is, the tacit understanding and physical fitness of the five players on the field are extremely demanding.

He asked the point guards not to say that they should completely resist when facing the opponent's center, but at least persist until their teammates come to support them.

He asked his own center to be able to keep up with the opponent's speed when facing the opponent's defender, so as to ensure that he would not lose his position and would not be trained by the military.

Generally speaking, the basic requirement for unlimited defense changes is that all 5 positions have similar heights, and through the mobility of a small lineup, 2 players in a certain area are rotated to pinch the ball holder.

But who made the Thunder's inside line be Li Pu and Ibaka?
Whether it's Ibaka or Li Pu, they can almost be called the best big men in the league's defense!
Both of them are men with physical fitness who can run and jump while taking into account their size. Therefore, they have a greater advantage when playing unlimited defenses!

Parker being capped is just the beginning!
After the Spurs' offense was fruitless, the Thunder seized the opportunity and played a fast break. Westbrook dunked and rewritten the score to 5:0.

Then the Spurs attacked again.

This time, the Spurs used their crossing tactics!

To be honest, the Spurs' tactics are very complicated and can basically be divided into 8 series with 37 changes.

Generally, if the brain is not good enough, let alone go up to fight, it is very difficult to remember.

And the traversal tactic they used this time is one of the eight tactics.

Applied to the players at this time, it is basically:
Parker holds the ball on the strong side, Danny Green and Leonard are positioned at 45 degrees on the strong side and weak side respectively, Diaw is at the top of the arc, and Duncan is on the strong side and low.

Next, Parker passed the ball to Green and moved to the strong and weak side, and Green then passed the ball to Diaw. At the same time, Leonard went to the strong side to cover Duncan in the low post. Leonard screens.

In this way, Parker can choose to pass the ball to Duncan for singles or Leonard to shoot.

How about it?Are you dizzy?
Don't worry, the Spurs still have seven such complicated tactics!They are: Hammer Tactics, Pull-Up Tactics, Barrier Tactics, Ball Screen Tactics, Hand-to-Hand Tactics, Second Offensive Tactics and Low Post Tactics.

Among them, each tactic has several variations.

Therefore, their tactics are sufficient to deal with most defenses in the league.

But tonight, when facing the Thunder's unlimited defense, they suffered a disadvantage.

After a set of crossing tactics, Parker distributed the ball to Duncan, who seemed to be in a dislocation.

Because Westbrook is behind Duncan, the standard is misplaced at this time.

But when Duncan played singles, he found that Westbrook did not lose his position when he hit the top twice in a row!
Westbrook's defense has always been underestimated!
His isolation defense has always been excellent, especially against offensive players who need to defend against the top.

This is why Westbrook went to the Lakers later and was often assigned to defend the center. Although it is impossible to put down every ball, it can definitely make the opponent play uncomfortable!
Right now Duncan is playing very uncomfortable!

Of course, it's just uncomfortable!

Although Duncan's consecutive backs hit, although he didn't completely come to the basket, he also came to the familiar 45 degrees, which is his sweet spot.

But just when he was about to turn around and shoot, Li Pu assisted in the defense and flanked Duncan with Westbrook.

Seeing this, Duncan quickly divided the ball and passed it to the empty Parker.

But before Parker could make a shot, Durant had already made up for it.

Parker broke through and gave it to Leonard, but at this time Ibaka was already in place.

Seeing this, Leonard gave the ball to Dior again.

The basketball passed countless times, and after slipping the Thunder players around for a long time, Dior was finally able to make a shot after receiving the ball.

But when he was about to make a move, he saw Li Pu who had just flanked Duncan, and had already rushed out.

This guy, with his arms outstretched, looks like covering the sky with his hands.

Let Dior, who had already jumped up, quickly change his posture in the air and pass the ball again.

However, at this time, it was intercepted by Sefolosha who had already ambushed nearby.

The Thunder are back on the fast break!
After encountering the defense, Sefolosha distributed the ball to Durant, and Durant dunked, 7:0.

The Thunder made two consecutive defenses against the Spurs.

Next, it was the Spurs' offense again, with all kinds of dazzling conduction balls, but the Thunder players were always standing in front of the Spurs players!

After a series of passes, the ball finally came to Leonard's hands.

Leonard, who was still a rookie at this time, was a standard blue-collar worker, which was very different from the later Kajordan.

Therefore, Leonard's take-over shot was blocked by Durant, and the Thunder defended again.

After Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, facing Parker, he directly chose a three-pointer, and he also hit it!

At 10:0, the Thunder successfully created a perfect start by relying on unlimited defense changes!

"Drip!"

Needless to say, Popovich naturally called a timeout.

"What are you doing? Are you playing house? Can you play ball?" Popovich turned on the hair dryer when the Spurs player slapped him, spraying wildly at the Spurs players.

For a long time, the Spurs have implemented militarized management, and the only person on the team with supreme power is Popovich.

But any player who does not listen to Popovich's orders cannot survive in this team.

Therefore, when Popovich started spraying, other players kept their heads down without a word of rebuttal.

"Tony, tell me, what should I do?"

"Ah?" Hearing Popovich calling himself, Parker suddenly raised his head, blinking his big eyes, which were full of innocence.

"As a point guard, the team's brain, you really don't have a brain at all?"

As a result, Popovich seemed to have found a punching bag and sprayed wildly at Parker.

Poor Parker hurriedly lowered his head again, not daring to say a word.

If you want to say who Popovich scolds the most in this GDP, it is undoubtedly Parker!
Who made him the youngest!

"Pfft!" Just as Popovich was yelling at Parker, Ginobili laughed when he whispered to Duncan not far away.

"Are you still laughing? Is it because you didn't play? Get on the court right away!" Popovich pointed at Ginobili and cursed.

"Yes, yes, I'll play right away!" Regarding the trolling mode that Popovich started, Ginobili was calm and calm, with a kind of resignation.

He belongs to the alternative in the Spurs, no matter how Popovich scolds, he will not punish Ginobili at all.

Without him, Popovich needs to rely on Ginobili to save his life!
A sports car in adversity is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation slashes demons!
Now, the Thunder team has forced out this monster knife ahead of time!
