Chapter 160 Extreme Attack
Chen Mo, Augustine, Gerrard, Thomas, Diaw... When this lineup was put on the field, Kenny Smith exclaimed: "Are the Charlotte people going to launch the Rockets?"

Small lineups like this have been used by the Bobcats before, and they work very well against certain lineups.But this time, they are not using a small lineup to target the opponent's tactics, but are obviously looking for a way to regularize the small lineup.

Before this game, the coaching staff of the Bobcats held a long meeting on the team's execution tactics.

They discussed it late into the night without coming up with a completely reasonable plan, and finally Timothy Glenn made a suggestion.

The Bobcats' previous tactical system seemed unbalanced because they didn't have a stable shooting point in their lineup except for Chen Mo.Coupled with the lethal defense without flanks, it often leads to an imbalance in the mid-range and long-range shooting percentages of the two sides.

In Jackson's absence, watching the Bobcats often has the feeling that they're not doing anything.Their lineup has a strong impact, but once the opponent shrinks, they can't rush in.

Therefore, Timothy Glenn's proposal is to maximize the existing two styles of the Bobcats.

One is that they put three big men in the early stages of the game, using their height and rebound protection to suppress the opponent.

After consuming their opponents, they lined up a small lineup, used speed and offense to push across the opponent, played a wave of offensive frenzy, and closed the game.

After switching to this lineup, Charlotte's speed suddenly increased, which was in stark contrast to their sluggishness in the first half.

Although they suppressed the opponent on the scene in the first half, their play really has nothing to do with looking good.And now, they played an exciting game.

In the first attack after the substitution, Chen Mo rushed to the frontcourt as soon as he received the ball.

Facing Sessions' defense, Chen Mo kept advancing without stopping.Although he doesn't have the speed advantage, he didn't stop when he changed direction.

"What a fast passing rhythm!" Kenny Smith said: "This kind of change of direction during the march requires the player to have a strong ability to control his center of gravity, otherwise it is easy to pass his own without shaking the defender. The rhythm is disrupted."

While Kenny Smith was speaking, Chen Mo had already passed Sessions.

Sessions was at Chen Mo's side, half a body behind, and he was not completely thrown away by Chen Mo.With Sessions at his side, Chen Mo couldn't shoot. When he continued to rush to the free throw line, "Brazilian Best Actor" Varejao rushed up to wait for Chen Mo.

Sessions was by Chen Mo's side, and it was difficult for Chen Mo to get rid of it. If he continued to move forward, Varejao would definitely play him.And if he stops, the attack will be reorganized.

In the first half, Varejao caused Chen Mo an offensive foul.

This Brazilian player who is famous for his "acting skills" in the NBA has caused headaches for many players.But Chen Mo was definitely not among them, he stopped in front of Varejao.

Just when Varejao was about to go forward to pinch Chen Mo with Sessions, Chen Mo jumped to the left, and then flicked his wrist fiercely, throwing the ball to the ground.

Varejao even felt a gust of wind rushing up from behind, which was the wind brought by the ball bouncing from his crotch.

Thomas hung on the basket arrogantly, and the audience shouted the names of Chen Mo and Thomas frantically, and at this time Chen Mo had already returned to defense.

The defensive arrangement of the Bobcats' lineup is to switch defenses infinitely, and double-team when encountering the opponent's low-post singles.It doesn't matter if they are scored by the opponent, because what they have to do is mainly to attack.

Varejao tipped the basket and scored a goal. The Cavaliers played this ball very hard.After the Bobcats kicked off, Chen Mo rushed forward immediately.

Bobcats' offensive rhythm has been pushed to the limit. Although Chen Mo's speed is slow, he passes the ball accurately.

This lineup is to fully release Chen Mo's personal ability on the offensive end, and to release Gerald Wallace's ability to the maximum on the defensive end.

The Bobcats don't have a stable shooting ability, so they have to quickly attack the opponent's basket when the opponent's defense is not stable.

As soon as the Bobcats rushed up, the Cavaliers' players returned to defense in a panic. Chen Mo passed the ball to Gerald Wallace who was thrusting diagonally towards the basket from the wing.

Wallace rushed directly to the basket, and the Cavaliers' defense shrank in a panic.Wallace passed back to Chen Mo again, and the Clevelands followed the ball and were attracted by Chen Mo's defensive focus.Chen Mo jumped up to catch the ball, but he didn't even fall down, and directly smashed the ball in the air.

A quick wide-range move, Diaw catches and shoots from the corner, and he hits a three-pointer with precision.

Boris Diaw let out a roar of excitement, the way he felt in Phoenix.Diaw is very grateful to the Canadian point guard who illuminated his career. Now he has encountered an equally good point guard, and now he is more mature and experienced, and he is doing better than before.

After Diaw's goal, the Bobcats retreated like a tidal wave.Sessions also wants to bring the team's rhythm up, but if there is no particularly capable point guard, there is only one result of blindly pursuing a fast pace, and that is turnovers!
Sessions rushed into the Bobcats' crowd, and Gerald Wallace broke the ball as soon as he reached out, and the Bobcats broke fast again.

After Chen Mo rushed to the basket, he threw the ball behind his head and assisted Gerald Wallace to score a dunk.

"This is Charlotte's offensive storm, and it's going to be another storm in the league, the Charlotte Storm!" Kenny Smith yelled.

As Kenny Smith's old partner, Barkley almost never agrees with Kenny Smith.In fact, he has never been an advocate of small ball tactics.

"Changed to a small lineup with a lead of [-] points. Is this their lineup that worked? I think they just played too boring in the first half and put in a performance lineup in the second half to give back. It's just fans who bought tickets."

"Will they dare to use this lineup when they play the Golden State Warriors next game? Although the record of the Golden State Warriors this year is not good, but if they use this lineup in front of the Oaklanders, Stephen (Curry) and Monta (Avery) S) will tell them what fast breaks and scrambles are."

Barkley paused for a moment, then continued: "And the Charlotte people think that they can cover up their current problems by using two different lineups to play the first half and the second half respectively? If they don't solve their second position problem , they can still only be called a fake strong team.”

Actually, Barkley had a point.Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers, the deputy squad leader of the league, even if the Bobcats play well, it does not mean that they are a strong team.Nor can it be said that their new tactics are effective.The next game against the Golden State Warriors is an important touchstone for the regularization of their small lineup.
