Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 113 This is the Princeton system, this is physical talent!
“There is another problem with the defense!!
In the Kings' Princeton system, five teams focus on offense.

They can't take care of defense at the same time.

Whenever the offense fails, the defense must be prepared to take a beating.

This is one of the reasons why their offense has reached the ceiling of the league in recent years, but they cannot break out of the Western Theater..."

On the commentary stage, while lamenting the Kings' gorgeous offense, Barkley also bluntly said that basketball like this is destined to not go far in the playoffs.

"Nothing!

In the regular season, the Kings are still a very capable and elite team..."

Bang-dang——!
Seeing the Mavericks' defensive formation shrinking, Brad Miller, who was performing center support, couldn't bear it. He chose to fake a shot and then tried to make a two-point jumper...

With Walker's height of 2 meters, he couldn't block the jump shot of 06-meter Brad Miller, especially since Walker also let go.

The opportunity came out, but Brad Miller's offense failed.

You will die if you try.

“Missed!!

Brad Miller can shoot and pass suddenly, he is indeed very comprehensive.

But it only accounts for Chris Webber's overall performance. In terms of offensive lethality, there is still a big gap between Brad Miller and Webber.

It’s only close to half the gap.

In other words, Weber's offense can average 30 points per game, while Brad Miller can only score 15 points.

Brad Miller only scored 13.5 points this season. With his offensive lethality, it’s no wonder the Mavericks’ defense didn’t regard his offensive shots as alive…”

Compared with the Mavericks' fear of the Kings' three outside offense, the Mavericks are not interested in the offensive power of their interior twin towers.

Although the Kings' regular season record is on the same level as the Mavericks and can compete for the top spot in the regular season, the advantage lies with their team when it comes to attacking inside with the twin towers...

With Nowitzki and Walker holding the line, Brad Miller and Divac are all younger brothers.

"The rebound was picked off by Nowitzki and he immediately counterattacked with the ball.

Another attack against the speed of the Kings' twin towers. Nash caught the ball and was pressed by Mike Bibby, but they were not afraid.

Even if Nash was pressed hard and couldn't push the speed, someone else would step up.

pretty! !
Tan Yang took the ball in relays and advanced. This is the advantage of their two point guards starting the game.

With Nash and Tan Yang's organization and control, they can play as fast as possible..."

At this time, Christie showed the only defensive value of the Kings. He actually caught up with Tan Yang and slowed down Tan Yang's offensive speed.

"Tin Yang is still too young.

Oh no, Tan Yang was stopped, but he was still able to calmly pass the ball to Nash who came back.

Let’s see how Nash plays when he catches the ball again?
My goodness!

Dribbling to the top of the arc, he glanced at Finley, who was cutting through the air, and he shot. He raised his hand and made a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Mike Bibby was careless and didn't step out to block the shot. After all, he didn't expect that Nash would test his defense with a three-pointer without respecting martial ethics.

And his defense.

Nothing, at 1 meters tall, he was obviously bullied.

After all, Nash is 1 meters tall and has a height advantage. Coupled with the sudden rhythm of his shots, Mike Bibby can only listen to the gunshot.

Bet Nash had no bullets in his three-point pistol.

Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Nash's three-point shot missed.

You call this a career average of 42.8% three-point field goal percentage?

The shooting data is pretty good, but the lethality is not that scary.

This is why Nash's main job is point guard. In the final analysis, offensive scoring is not his style and rhythm.

He needs to control the ball, find the pass, and go around to find that his teammates have no chance, then he will take a shot.

Or, if you control the ball in the frontcourt, you have already decided to take action and hit the opponent with a cold shot.

Now attacking without the ball and attacking as a shooter, Nash's offensive power is still not stable enough.

The three-point shooting is very accurate, but it tends to be in a crazy mode, and it is a series of accuracy.

“It’s so chaotic!!

Nash actually chose to do it by himself and didn't even score.

Oops, the Mavericks' offensive opportunities are not over yet.

Finley rushed for the rebound and regained the basketball that Nash missed.

This is talent! !

Even though the Kings have many attackers, their physical talent actually puts them at a disadvantage.

See what Finley does with the basketball?

Oh my god, I held the ball against Stojakovic’s rim protection, and when it landed, I forced a layup. Is this ball going to happen..."

Stojakovic is a typical European-style forward and defensive line, strong offensively, but defensively "soft" like Nowitzki. It is not surprising that Fin uses his height and talent to take advantage of him. .

Lu Xun once said that the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage. This is true. The fact that Nash just missed a three-point shot away from the basket is a manifestation of the truth.

If you don't listen to the advice, you will get stuck in traffic. If Finley listens to the advice, his hit rate will be higher.

Bang-dang——!
Truth is truth, but the basket is not used to Finley's shooting. It just allows Finley to hang around outside and shoot in. It is unnecessary.

"Still not entering.

The Mavericks' offense failed to continue their offensive firepower!

Finley's comeback seems to take more time to find the offensive feeling.

Even a piece of paper is useful. Stojakovic is a big living person standing in the penalty area, standing in front of Finley to protect the basket, which can still interfere with the defense..."

It's no wonder that the truth spoken by Lu Xun failed to come true. After all, he never mentioned that this truth requires a defensive player to stand in front of the offensive shot!
The so-called truth is all relative and requires conditions.

After all, Lu Xun said too much.

During the transition from offense to defense, Stojakovic got the basketball and immediately dribbled the ball forward.

At this moment, the Kings show the comprehensive offensive attributes of their players.

There are too many players who can control, move, pass, shoot, run and cover.

That's right, even the center can extend the shooting range to the three-point line, and can also support the organization. As a small forward, Stojakovic's ability in this area is naturally not bad.

Therefore, when Tan Yang pressed Stojakovic and wanted to interrupt the Kings' offensive rhythm, Stojakovic did not stick the basketball in his hands. He quickly distributed the ball to Christie next to him.

At this time, Christie, who also has all-around attributes, immediately took the ball and pushed it further. Then, he distributed the ball and found the hands of Mike Bibby who rushed back.

“Frontcourt, opportunity for the Kings.

Mike Bibby singled out Nash with the ball, accelerated, changed direction, and broke into the penalty area.

Nash's defense was tight, and his physical confrontation was too weak. Mike Bibby was in a favorable position. He continued to break through, and he was going to the end. Oh no, he didn't shoot.

In the middle of the layup, he chose to pass the ball with his back to his height. Nash blocked the shot. Christie followed up and got the ball, and it was also a layup..."

Swish-!
Like a tidal wave, a continuous offensive, Nash was originally undefended.

But even if Nash's defense is poor, Mike Bibby still chooses to distribute the ball to give him a better opportunity to finish in an open position when he has the advantage of breakthrough.

This is why the Princeton system's offense is so difficult to defend.

Everyone is for me, and I am for everyone.

The players in the team are all-round, focus on offense, and play as a team. What do you use to defend?

It can't be defended, it can't be defended at all.

6 to 6! !
Sure enough, the Kings don't understand defense, and the Mavericks don't even think about it.

come!

Offensively, they hurt each other! !

On the sidelines, Nelson looked calm.

He is still very confident about attacking and treating his team as the only team in the league.

Especially their lineup has been upgraded.

There are five All-Stars in the team, and they are all in their prime.

The all-star lineup's attack mode, against the so-called "civilian-style" team rebounding, has the advantage over the Mavericks. If they can't widen the point difference, don't panic, just let the bullets fly for a while.

If their physical fuel tank is sufficient and they cannot gain an advantage, then there is one word: wait to die.

That's right! Just wait until the Kings die themselves.

You know, Divac is almost 36 years old and Christie is almost 35 years old.

In terms of physical fuel tank, the Mavericks have an advantage. The bench is deep. The Kings' bench gangsters have been disbanded, but the Mavericks still have an advantage.

Now the Kings have to play faster. As the number of offensive rounds increases, the physical energy consumption of both sides will be greater.

Therefore, the further they hit the back, the greater the advantage will be on their side.

They are not afraid to play the long game against the Kings.

They are also not afraid of tough battles.

On the court, the Mavericks attack.

Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and did not continue to waste three-pointers. He chose to distribute the ball to Tan Yang who was in the high position. Then, he cut to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line without the ball.

"Nash brought Mike Bibby's defense in front of Tan Yang, and Christie chose to switch defense.

Oops, Tan Yang swayed left and right, and after breaking through Mike Bibby's close defense with speed, he immediately turned around and dribbled the ball inward to break through.

This is the rhythm of being a reckless person, and Mike Bibby can't compare.

He had just used his physical talent to bully Tan Yang. Unexpectedly, this 03 rookie was very creative and actually copied Mike Bibby's homework and chose to dribble the ball.

He also rushed in, and Mike Bibby fought and retreated.

Oops, Tan Yang pulled it out, he shot, oh no, he actually jumped up and passed the ball.

Nowitzki, who followed, got the ball and rushed to the rim for a layup. He protected the rim with Brad Miller, and he just made a strong kill..."

Swish-!
After taking the ball and roaring, Nowitzki steadily sent the damn basketball into the basket.

Divac was evacuated by Nowitzki, and Nowitzki went out and re-entered.

In and out, the Kings' defense has become weaker. Now Tan Yang's breakthrough has attracted most of Brad Miller's defensive energy. Coupled with Tan Yang's passing, it is so unconstrained that the Kings' The level of defensive strength is really unmatched! !

"Qin Yang made a sudden score, and Nowitzki made a cut and received the ball to complete the game.

It's the connection between Tan Yang and Nowitzki again. The Kings' defense is so poor. The Mavericks' offensive style is mediocre, but the Kings can't defend well and can't defend it.

That’s what’s wrong with offensive teams…”

The offense is as fierce as a tiger, but the defense is useless.

8 to 6! !
On the sidelines, Adelman looked calm when he saw this scene.

The Kings are not afraid of attacking.

They play as a whole, they play as a team, they play smart basketball, and they are not afraid to compete hard with the Mavericks' talented offensive basketball.

On the court, the Kings attack.

The Mavericks' offense was successful, their defense quickly retreated, and they settled into position to fight.

Mike Bibby controlled the ball to the frontcourt, performed a routine operation, and passed the basketball to Brad Miller who immediately brought it up to the high post after halftime.

The Mavericks' defensive formation shrunk, and they didn't care. It was just that they were more patient in executing their tactics.

“He passed the ball to the center again, and then cut to the basket without the ball.

Bibby took away Nash's defense. He cut to the basket and failed to get rid of Nash. In other words, he failed to hit the Mavericks' back door.

Bibby chose to pull to the right corner. At the same time, Christie on the right wing also cut without the ball. He also couldn't get rid of Tan Yang's defense. He cut to the basket and chose to go left. Move sideways..."

At this time, the offensive area on the right formed a situation where Mike Bibby singled out Nash.

In the low post on the left, Divac provided a screen for Christie, blocking Tan Yang's pursuit. Christie successfully swung the ball and got the chance to shoot in the open space.

This is an offensive mode launched from the right side. It is very simple, without the ball + screen.

At the same time, the attack on the left side did not just sit still.

Stojakovic also made an air cut without the ball, but it was a feint shot. Instead of moving to the basket, he pulled it outside.

Then, while playing Finley, he also found Brad Miller in the top arc position as a screen, moved from the left to the right, and easily got a three-point shooting opportunity.

After adding Divac's screen, he moved towards the basket and met Qin Yang in a misplaced position...

Good guy, a series of moves, screens, counter runs, and air cuts instantly formed a three-dimensional offense centered around Brad Miller's dealing of cards in the top arc.

There are low post drives to the basket, there are individual one-on-ones, there are open mid-range shots, there are also open three-pointers...

“Next, let’s see how Brad Miller deals the cards?

Oh, he chose to pass the ball to Mike Bibby who came in through an air cut, oh no.

Taking a step with the ball, Bibby passed the ball. He passed the ball to Divac in the low post on the left. Oh, no, Divac got the basketball and also implemented a supporting passing tactic. He passed the ball to the center. .

Pretty!

Stojakovic came in through an empty cut to get the ball, and he faced an open layup opportunity..."

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

Stojakovic received Divac's pass and sent the basketball into the basket as easily as drinking water.

On the commentary table, Kenny Smith saw this scene, shook his head and sighed.

"too strong!!
The offensive threat of the Princeton system is too great.

Just the first level without the ball, counter-running, air cuts, screens...

The Mavericks' defense has been dismembered.

However, the Kings' offense still did not choose the first-level offensive mode.

With the advantage created by the first-level offensive mode, they continued to make reverse runs without the ball, passing the ball to Bibby, then to Divac, and then Stojakovic completed the finish.

In this way, they took the offensive opportunities created after the first round of dismemberment, and then connected the dismembered offensive individuals one by one through the second round of attacks..."

Then, there is no more.

The Mavericks can't stand up to the Kings' first-level offense alone.

The second-floor offense could only watch the Kings score.

Moreover, it is the kind of goal that is passed in.

8 to 8! !
Outside the stadium, the home fans applauded.

The Princeton system looks messy, but every part operates so briskly and clearly, and looks very gorgeous. Coupled with the fast-paced passing ball, everyone is given a kick, and then the basketball is passed Entering screen.

Well, it's football that passes the ball.

Basketball should be called passing one hand.

This is not the point. The point is that the offense is passed through.

This is a very nice picture.

Nelson on the coaching bench looked at it and shook his head.

Even he felt inferior after seeing this kind of attack mode.

Is this "civilian" basketball?

It does not rely on individual physical talent, but relies on the team and smart execution to turn advantages into goals bit by bit.

Fortunately, Nelson didn't panic.

No matter how gorgeous the Kings attack in this offensive round, they only get two points.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, ornamental, but not lethal.

Looking back, I saw that Tan Yang was acting reckless again.

Bang-!
"Nash brought Mike Bibby's defense in front of Tan Yang again.

After glancing at Nowitzki at the top of the arc, Tan Yang chose to fake the shot.

He went in, but Mike Bibby couldn't stand it, so he could only fight and retreat.

Seeing that Tan Yang was about to finish, he chose to take the risk and steal it.

Oh no, he was predicted, took the lead, and got the opportunity later. Tan Yang resisted Mike Bibby's thugs, and then completed his own layup..."

Beep——!
Swish-!
When the whistle sounded, Tan Yang also sent the damn basketball into the basket, making the score 2+1! !
This is purely physical talent bullying.

Mike Bibby shook his head with his hands on his hips.

Who would have thought that just a rookie could be so brave.

He just feels that this new class of rookies is not easy to lead!
