Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 58: Being one step ahead is genius. If you are too far ahead, you may end up in trouble!

Have you been provoked by Tan Yang, a rookie?
Tan Yang wants to improve and steal his starting position?

Nash doesn't care, not just because he is already a two-time All-Star, but because he is already a two-time All-Star and earns an annual salary of 575 million, which is half less than Nowitzki and more than half less than Finley. , Calculate how much money you get for a month, how much more effort can you put into defense?

Even if he loses points and the team loses, it's not his fault.

He is both powerful and cheap, and does not jump around repeatedly. What can Tan Yang do to compete for the starting position?
He just needs to enjoy the silky smoothness of the offense. If he can't guard against it, he will actively defend. That is his duty.

You can't ask for too much!

Looking back, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, faced Tan Yang's pressing, changed direction and accelerated, and suddenly Tan Yang was like a sieve, quickly reached the penalty area, and pulled the ball from the free throw line to shoot.

"Do not!

Nash didn't shoot. He attracted Jamison's defense, changed the shot from the air to a pass, and sent the basketball to the left basket.

Rick Fordson was free, jumped up to catch the ball, and hung it into the basket..."

Bang-dang——!
With both hands dunking, his whole body was hanging on the southeast branch, and the cake made by Nash was steadily eaten into his stomach.

Crash-!
Off the court, the audience was deeply stimulated by Nash's freehand passing and unbridled organization, and couldn't help but applaud.

The offense can indeed attract fans.

Nash's playing style is so elegant, and he is naturally the most handsome boy on the court.

After the goal, Nash glanced at Tan Yang lightly, as if to say: I don't understand defense, and you don't want to understand either!

"LaFrentz served the ball quickly from the baseline, and Tan Yang dribbled the ball quickly, quickly passed the half court, and immediately sent the basketball to Finley's hands.

There's something about Tan Yang's passing, and it's not slow either, maybe it's fast or slow.

Finley took the ball and rushed in, and then passed the ball to the left three-point corner. Jamison was empty again, and he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."

Tan Yang advanced very quickly, and Finlay broke through the opportunity. The blue team had no time to arrange defense. This was a point-sending question, but Finley chose to pass the ball. Was he trying to test Jamison's offensive quality?

As expected of the captain, the pattern is huge!
It's a pity that no matter how big Finley's situation is, Jamison can't stand the test and it's useless.

Bang-dang——!
Jamison's three-pointer missed.

Outside the court, Nelson frowned, thinking of Jamison's information, he couldn't help but shake his head.

It seems that Jamison averages 31% of three-pointers per game, but the lethality is still far from enough!
Jamison's field goal percentage per game is 47%. As a forward who plays in the air, he seems to be a very good shot, but his three-point shooting is not reliable.

It's the type that can beat but can't kill the game.

Nowitzki averages 38% of his three-point shooting per game. He takes 5 shots per game and can hit 2. He is in a similar situation to Jamison. If he wants to fly on both wings and kill his opponent with three-pointers, it is very likely that he cannot do it at this level. Arrived!

“The rebound was taken off by Finley!

The white team still had a chance to attack. Finley passed the damn basketball back to Tan Yang to reorganize.

Oh, Tan Yang is a rookie, but he has no stage fright. He directed the traffic and asked LaFrentz, who had just rushed to the three-point line, to set him a pick-and-roll screen.

LaFrentz made an air cut after covering the screen. Nash was blocked and couldn't even defend actively. Tan Yang broke through and faced Nowitzki's change of defense. Tan Yang didn't go up by himself. He distributed the ball.

LaFrentz faces Nash. This is to beat Nash by name. Can Nash withstand it..."

Swish-!
LaFrentz resisted Nash's aggressive blocking and sent the basketball into the basket with a mediocre jump shot.

The knife falls and the ball goes in!

Nash is 1 meters tall. What can you use to block a 91 meter jump shot? Moreover, LaFrentz also has a good mid-range shot. What can you use to block it?
Nash's defense was shot badly again.

Off the court, Cuban felt very speechless. While he is an avid basketball fan, he is also a businessman, so he naturally wants to add value to the team.

If competitive basketball sports want the team to add value, in addition to playing well, you must also have stars. When you have stars, you must also have the blessing of a championship.

Nash is a beautiful player and a star, but he doesn't seem to have the temperament to win a championship.

Offense wins fans, defense wins championships!
This is the NBA legend at this time, and it is the unbreakable truth that Lu Xun said!

"If Nash comes off the bench..."

Cuban thought of this idea and immediately shook his head to shake off this trouble.

As a mad scientist, Nelson may have a very crazy style of play, so he probably wouldn't be able to make Nash a substitute player, right?
Just playing in the starting lineup, Nash is a player who makes people happy and worried.

On the court, Nash, who was called out on defense and couldn't guard him, immediately showed off his gorgeous offensive talents.

Faced with Tan Yang's pressing, Nash waved, allowing Nowitzki to cover, and then passed Tan Yang cleanly like he was passing through the streets in the early morning.

With Tan Yang's speed, Nash, who was as strong as the wind, couldn't guard him at all.

Swish-!
Bypassing Tan Yang's pressing, Nash took a bow and arrow from outside the three-point line, and sent the basketball into the basket like a hundred steps.

At his peak, Nash averaged 47.3% from three-point range.

At his peak, Ray Allen only had 44%, and Curry only had 45%.

Ray Allen and Curry's shooting percentage was achieved by Nash in the 01/02 season. In that season, his three-point shooting percentage reached 45.3%. Unfortunately, Nash's three-point shooting range was not far enough and he did not take many shots. The willingness is not strong, after all, he is a point guard.

In fact, he can be a shooter beyond his time.

But the scary thing is being a point guard, which is also at a historical level.

In addition to defense, Nash's offense is an S-level existence.

It's not surprising that Tan Yang couldn't resist.

If Kidd has Nash's shooting attributes, he will be a point guard who has absolutely no blind spots.

Next, Nash was beaten defensively by Tan Yang and the roll call tactics of Yaoman, and his face was swollen.

However, offensively, Nash took control of the game. After the pick-and-roll, he broke through and scored to assist his teammates in scoring.

Change direction to break through, reach the penalty area, and then shoot on his own.

In the run-and-gun game, quickly deliver the basketball to the open player.

No matter how hard Tan Yang defended by himself, he could only defend against a lonely opponent and could not prevent Nash's offense at all. The blue team, now without Finley as a one-on-one point with the ball, now has Dirk Nowitzki, a good friend who is willing to play with Nash as the core, Nick Fortson, a pie-eating insider, and Josh Howard. The counterattack is sharp, and Najera is the shooter.

In this configuration that suits him, Nash will perform the running and gun attack to the fullest. The offense will be as fast as silver and smooth, demonstrating the important role of a good point guard in improving a team.

Tan Yang also performed very well, but in terms of offense, without Tan Yang as the core of the lineup configuration, Nash's offensive attributes can be said to be several blocks ahead of Tan Yang.

In the end, under the leadership of Nash, the offensive handsome boy, the blue team easily defeated the white team.

……

The next day, the 03/04 season Dallas Mavericks training camp officially began.

The Mavericks' goal this season is very clear. They have formed a luxury star offensive lineup and are aiming for the championship.

Lineup integration is particularly critical. They don't have much time to waste.

For this reason, it is unnecessary to continue to conduct confrontation training in groups.

Bringing out the offensive strength of the starting five is the most important task in the next training.

There is no suspense. At this time, the Mavericks' starting five are LaFrentz, Nowitzki, Jamison, Finley and Nash.

Second team: Sean Bradley, Rick Fordson, Edon Donajera, Josh Howard, Qin Yang.

Due to the competition between Tan Yang and Nash, Travis Best is not qualified to participate in this round at all.

Travis Best, who is 1 meters tall, actually prefers offensive scoring. His organizational ability is just a regular trick...breaking and scoring.

In terms of offensive firepower, the Mavericks' main lineup is already very luxurious on the court. He is not required to score at all. He is asked to organize, but his ability cannot control this luxurious lineup.

In terms of defensive ability, with a 185 rating, if you still defend Der, it's nothing. He's just a make-up.

After all, the NBA schedule is long and long, and injuries are also part of the game, so you have to be on guard.

The competition between the forward and defensive lines is simpler. Tariq Wahad is injured and cannot play, and the athletic ability of Chris Meeks and Walter Williams has declined too seriously.

The Mavericks use a run-and-gun tactic. Let's not talk about bombing. If you can't run and can't even touch the ball's exhaust, what else can you use to bomb?
As for Marquis Daniels, he is only a marginal player and does not have many opportunities to perform, so he can only be put aside to eat dust.

To be fair, if the starting five go up against the second lineup, the lineup is basically a relegation blow.

However, basketball is not about calculation and stacking chips on the court.

When the group training and competition began, the suspense of the competition was unexpectedly not that great, and the competition was even back-and-forth.

Seeing this, Old Nelson and Little Nelson looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Finally, Old Nelson rubbed his head and said calmly.

"Don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while!

The starting lineup has too much offensive talent, but just one basketball on the court is not enough, not at all.

In an offensive round, only one person ends up playing, which wastes the offensive talents of others. "

“The key is defense!

We are never defensive.

Offensively, there is too much wasted firepower, and defensively, there are flaws everywhere.

It's not fun to attack, and it's impossible to defend.

With this kind of tactics, even in low-end games, there is no way to downgrade the opponent and easily kill the opponent.

If you encounter a high-end game..."

Nelson didn't say anything further, but the result could be imagined.

At this moment, the Mavericks have a five-death small lineup, but because it appeared too early, one step ahead of the times is a genius. It is too far ahead and the rules do not allow it. It is very likely that it will cause trouble.

The second lineup under the control of Tan Yang has very simple tactics.

The first choice is run and gun.

If the tactics don't work out right away, then hit Nash by name.

If there is someone to wipe Nash's butt, then go for the basket.

A very simple and unpretentious tactic, but it made the starting five players very uncomfortable and felt very unsatisfied.

Especially since Tan Yang controlled the field and slowed down the pace.

If ten years from now, the league's implementation of offensive basketball has entered a period of high speed, teams will not be defensive, the offensive rhythm will soar, the number of offensive rounds will increase, and shooting, especially three-point shooting, will gradually become the protagonist...

At this moment, all the problems faced by this luxurious five-small offensive lineup of 03/04 can be solved easily.

Limited by the times, Old Nelson and Little Nelson can only take one step at a time, and then look down to see what will happen before they can make adjustments.

Scientific testing can reveal the truth!

It is still too early to respond now.

Moreover, they have set their sights on the preseason games, which is an opportunity to test their luxurious offensive team.

If there is a problem, you can also check for deficiencies and fix them.

Next, the training camp continues. The second team begins to predict and simulate the opponent's tactics and strategies, and trains the game in a targeted manner so that this luxurious team can grow quickly and not be caught off guard.

It's a pity that as time goes by, the pressure of the second team on the starting lineup becomes weaker and weaker, and the training effect becomes worse and worse.

Finally, the new season is slowly approaching.

Next, is the preseason starting?
