Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 57: If you don’t go crazy, you won’t survive!

The group training competition has begun!

The media day includes players making a collective appearance, being interviewed by reporters, interacting with fans, and performing in training matches.

Since it is a competitive sport, the most important part is naturally the competition.

You have to talk to the ball!

All the fame and fortune off the field are carried by the competition on the field.

The basketball team is divided into white groups, and the captains are Nowitzki and Finley.

A coin toss determines the order, and Nowitzki wins. The first player selected must be his good friend Nash.

Finley chose to leave Jamison, who can play the best.

Nowitzki then selected Danny Fortson, leaving Rick LaFrentz on the other end, Josh Howard, and then, Eton Donajura.

With Tariq Wahad injured and unable to play, Finley can only choose Qin Yang, Marquis Daniels...

The blue team's lineup is Nowitzki, Fordson, Josh Howard, Edondo Najera, and Nash.

The white team's lineup is Riff LaFrentz, Jamison, Finley, Marquis Daniels, and Qin Yang.

LaFrentz jumped to win the ball. The moment Tan Yang got the ball, Finley, Jamison and Daniels had already rushed to the frontcourt.

Tan Yang also followed the Romans and dribbled the ball across half court. At the risk of being intercepted by Nash, he still used a long pass to throw the basketball to the bottom corner of the left triangle.

“It’s going to be a mistake!
Letting Tan Yang play point guard may be a bad choice.

Oops, Jamison rushed to the corner, grabbed the basketball back before it cleared the line, and then, after adjusting, he raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Danny Fortson, who was opposite him, stayed in the penalty area at this time. He did not rush out to defend, but defended with his eyes. After all, if he is a rebounding maniac, how can he show his rebounding skills if he does not stay in the penalty area?
This is called professionalism!

only……

Giving an offensive opportunity to practice shooting, as well as giving a quasi-All-Star scorer who averages 22 points per game, this choice is definitely not a smart choice.

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

Jamison made a precise three-pointer.

Outside the court, fans and on-site staff in the arena burst into applause for Jamison who scored.

“Hurrah to Dallas!

Antoine, your offense is awesome! ! "

"I already want to see Nowitzki and Jamison on the court together as soon as possible, attacking the opponent with three-pointers together."

"OMG!
It's so exciting that I can't stop, I can't stop at all. "

"No, don't come over!

Don't tell me the picture you painted, the fight won't start for another month, and I still want to sleep well. "

"..."

On the sidelines, Nelson nodded, very satisfied with the offensive round just now.

Whether it’s the running speed of Jamison and Finley, Tan Yang’s passing accuracy and offensive awareness, or Jamison’s precise three-point shot...

Well, there’s also Nick Fortson’s defense at the basket!

Just under the basket, Fordson took the ball from the baseline and served quickly, switching from defense to offense in an instant. This is the pattern.

If Fordson dives to block the shot, if Jamison can still score a three-pointer, he will definitely not be able to come back to pick up the ball and hit the ball quickly.

Here are the game details!
This is the essence of run-and-gun tactics.

If there are no rebounds, you can grab more. If you don't defend, you will only get more points.

Nash caught the ball and threw it forward, and immediately started to rush forward. Tan Yang rushed over and instinctively wanted to press the rhythm. However, Najera did not follow martial ethics and rushed over to cover, blocking Tan Yang. Nash quickly rushed over halfway. On the court, he flicked his hands and the basketball was sent to the frontcourt with a swish.

75 degrees to the left, one step away from the three-point line. Nowitzki took the ball and already raised it. Without thinking, he raised his hand and shot a three-pointer...

At this time, both Daniels and Jamison ran into the penalty area, trying to protect the basket. However, Nowitzki shot and quickly finished the game, they could only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
After Nowitzki scored, he raised three fingers and faced the fans on the sidelines, showing off his terrifying offensive talent.

Off the court, Cuban smiled fondly at Nowitzki and admired Nowitzki's shooting skills and playing courage.

No matter how many points are lost in the backcourt, the frontcourt can recover them, and it will not be less than the points lost.

In the transition between offense and defense, Jamison served quickly from the baseline, and Tan Yang rushed up instinctively, pushing the tempo quickly.

Just after halftime, the basketball was immediately handed to Jamison, who also quickly moved and distributed the ball to Finley, who was cutting in the middle.

"Going in, Finley caught the ball, took one step from the free throw line, immediately took two steps and jumped, and it was a one-handed dunk after gliding..."

Bang-dang——!
Finley rode through the barrier on his own and easily smashed the rim. Nick Fordson at the basket did not block shots and protect the basket. He is 2 meters tall and does not have an explosive head. How about using a Der to protect the basket?

It's better to be ready to take off, wait for the dunk to fly, and then quickly jump up to grab the rebound.

If you dunk in, don't panic. It's enough to get the ball and hit the baseline quickly, and then the offense comes back.

Off the court, despite being unable to defend, Nelson was still very satisfied with Fordson's performance.

The Warriors and the Mavericks are indeed from the same family. Fordson adapted to the Mavericks' game rhythm too quickly. He opened and closed his eyes and grasped it in an instant.

“Nash caught the basketball and immediately pushed forward quickly.

The ball was given to Nowitzki in the frontcourt. Without the ball, Nowitzki used his screen as a wall to get rid of Tan Yang's defense. At the same time, he received Nowitzki's pass like a gas station, and then dribbled the ball. The breakthrough went in and he shot..."

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Nash steadily sent the damn basketball into the basket.

Tan Yang put his hands on his waist and shook his head.

He is so difficult!

In just two rounds, he experienced the subtleties of the run-and-gun tactics coached by Nelson.

Use constant impact to break the opponent's defense into pieces, and then defeat the opponent.

It is simply impossible for a person to rely on defense to block an attack at this pace. It is absolutely impossible.

Even the defense of two or three players could not stop such an impact.

After all, Nelson's run-and-gun tactics are not like D'Antoni's, which relies too much on the ability of one core defender. The starting point of his run-and-gun tactics is that all five players on the field can play. Whoever has a chance can play.

"No wonder the Mavericks have such a good regular season record!

This crazy run-and-gun tactic requires the team's collective defense to be able to pull it off.

You have to slow down their offensive rhythm, and then, patiently use team battles to lock down their five attack points on the field..."

Tan Yang shook his head. With the defensive intensity of the regular season, it is simply impossible to do it, especially against a bad team. Playing in the offensive rhythm of the Mavericks is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.

When encountering a strong team, being able to play team defense requires patience and dragging the game to the end in order to wear out the Mavericks.

Moreover, it is also necessary to ensure that no star players in the Mavericks team break out.

This is too difficult, even if it can be done, it would be too frustrating to fight.

If you are not prepared for a long-term war, it will be difficult to crack the soft or hard bone of the Mavericks.

After all, when the Mavericks rush to play run-and-gun, they just want to bring the rhythm of the game to the rhythm they are good at, and then defeat their opponents with their rich experience.

However, they were very brave in the regular season. In the playoffs where the penalties are looser, the Mavericks cannot find an offensive rhythm that they are good at. It is very likely that they will overturn and they are destined to not go far.

Walking on one leg can never go farther than walking on two legs!

Unless there are rules that limit the other, just one leg.

That's too far!
Thinking of this, Tan Yang did not follow the trend and continue to push fast breaks and run and gun.

As long as he continues to choose to play like this, he will never be able to beat Nash, the god of running and gunning.

If he wants to attack the top position, it is impossible to do so.

Tan Yang did not push for a fast break, but took the ball to the frontcourt without haste and settled into position to fight.

Seeing everyone swimming desperately to the shore where the game was running, Tan Yang swam back. The spectators outside the stadium just thought that Tan Yang was not adapting to the rhythm of the game.

On the court, everyone opened up the space. Tan Yang faced Nash, who was actively defensive, from the top of the arc. Without thinking, he immediately dribbled the ball and called out Nash.

"Going in, Nash was knocked away... No, Nash was very active. He fought and retreated, and stayed in front of Tan Yang. Tan Yang attacked hard... Oh, he scored..."

Tan Yang drove straight in, ran over Nash to the penalty area, and shot the basketball into the basket with a horse-riding arrow.

Nash was very active, but it was of no use. He could only watch Nash being beaten by Tan Yang.

Off the court, Nelson was very calm. He didn't care about the points he lost on defense. He didn't understand defense, so it was fine if his opponents didn't understand either.

Cuban's face became serious.

If Nash gets points on defense, you have to challenge the offensive difficulty on offense.

Why is Nelson so obsessed with offense and so crazy? It's because Nowitzki has Nash next to him, so what can he do to defend?

There is no choice. If you want to continue to maintain the Three Musketeers lineup structure, you can only make the offensive firepower more fierce.

If you are not crazy, you will not survive!
