new lord of the rings

Chapter 64
Coach Rick Carlisle readjusted the lineup, replaced Nowitzki and Marion for a rest, and replaced two fast-moving teenagers, Jay Crowder and Brandon Wright.

Jay Crowder was not very tall when he was a power forward, but he was very good defensively when he was a small forward. He has corner three-pointers and good athletic ability. It is very useful when this kind of defense is needed.

Brandon Wright is a tall and thin basket finisher, good at protecting the frame, especially good at pick-and-rolls. With him and Monta Ellis' pick-and-rolls, the Mavericks' offense will not end because of Nowitzki Sliding too much.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Zhang Xin led the rotation lineup, Iguodala, David Lee, Speights and Blake.

Rick Carlisle got Monta Ellis, Crowder, Brandon Wright, DeJuan Blair and Carter.

Rick Carlisle's tweaks are working, at least on offense.

The Warriors' lineup will be at a disadvantage if they can break through to the top position. Blake's physical disadvantages cannot be made up for by him. David Lee and Speights are not very good at defending pick-and-rolls. The Mavericks' current lineup, The No. [-] position can break through again, and Monta Ellis and Brandon Wright have a pick-and-roll above the standard. In this way, the Warriors' defense is at the expense of the other, and the Mavericks' offense is much smoother.

Defensively, Claude defends Zhang Xin directly, Carter defends Iguodala, Brandon Wright defends David Lee, DeJuan Blair defends Speights, the basic foot height can match, there is not too much Big flaw.This is without considering Zhang Xin's pick-and-roll on the inside. If Zhang Xin plays a pick-and-roll, finding DeJuan Blair is also a misplacement.

Today, Zhang Xin didn't think about relying on the pick-and-roll and dislocation singles. Of course, dislocation singles is a very effective and efficient method, but he wants to try different tactics. If there is only one tactic, it will be easy to be targeted in the playoffs. Tactics Insufficient richness is likely to result in a loss.

Enriching tactics starts with each game. Once you are sure you have the upper hand, you can try out new tactics. New tactics require a lot of games to discover shortcomings and flaws, and it is impossible to perfect them in training.

In the past, the Lakers were called Langhu, so they tried out new tactics to determine their advantage. Even if they lost, it didn't matter. It was just the regular season anyway. With the strength of the Lakers, they didn't care about those few regular season games.

Zhang Xin wants to adjust the rotation lineup into a weakened version of the five small lineups. This lineup is possible:
Except for Speights who is weak in handling the ball, Zhang Xin, Iguodala, David Lee, and Blake, who can handle the ball in this lineup, are all masters in handling the ball. Weaker, compared to these four people, in fact, his ability to handle the ball is still good;

In this lineup, Zhang Xin used Iguodala as the core of transferring the ball, and Speights used his wide body to continuously pick and roll for Zhang Xin, Blake and David Lee;

David Lee has excellent footwork, flexible ball control, excellent vision, and excellent passing. He is a player with no blind spots in offensive skills. His shooting percentage this season is 51.9%. A beautiful mid-range shot, David Lee may be the most underrated inside player in the league. With David Lee opening up the space, there are more things that can be done inside, such as air cuts, off-ball screens, post-up support and so on.

Mark Jackson rapt attention below:

Well, the shooting range has become closer, and the space is not as big as that of the Death Five. After all, the Death Five has Curry, Thompson and Zhang Xin, three historical shooters, and Green and Iguodala can also shoot three-pointers. Stable, but the opponents absolutely dare not let it go easily, and this lineup only has Zhang Xin, an absolutely reliable three-pointer, and the space will definitely become smaller;

The defense is not as flexible as when the Death Five is on the court. You can't ask for too much from the defense of Blake, David Lee and Speights;
The right to shoot has also changed:

Death five small play: whoever has the opportunity will shoot the ball, except for Iguodala and Green who consciously undershot, Zhang Xin, Thompson, and Curry, whoever has the opportunity will be every day, no discussion;

Although there are dazzling running positions, passes, and off-ball screens in this rotation lineup, those with strong tactical vision can see that most of the final finishing is done by Zhang Xin.

Blake took the time to shoot a three-pointer, Iguodala saw the opportunity and made an alley-oop, and David Lee rubbed the opponent's inside with his back. The purpose was to attract double-teams and create opportunities for the outside. The space is extremely wide, otherwise it would not be easy to make a move.

Although the possession of the ball is much more concentrated than that of the Death Five, the efficiency has not decreased much. When Zhang Xin's personal ability is facing double-teaming, no matter whether he chooses to break through, pass or shoot, it is difficult for this kind of person to move the ball. In such an environment, he is more efficient than when playing singles. Zhang Xin's off-ball ability is extremely powerful in this environment!

With Zhang Xin's improvement, this lineup is at least not much different from the starting lineup. As for the comparison with the Death Five, there is no way to compare it. The Death Five is beyond this era.

Mark Jackson looked at it with a smile on his face. This can be used as a regular tactic. As long as it is well adapted, the effect of the fight will not be bad. Zhang Xin's one-star four-shot can be used when the confrontation is very fierce and ordinary running screens cannot be effective. Punishment is the best.

In the first half of the second quarter, neither side could defend the other, but the Warriors were more efficient, pulling the point difference to 28 points, and Zhang Xin took a rest. Today's game can probably clock in two quarters, Zhang Xin think.

The situation on the field changed suddenly:

Carter is angry!

Carter is not too old to play. Even in the 16 season, Carter's performance in the playoffs is still very stable. There are three catties of nails.

The angry Carter can be quite violent:
After receiving the pass at a 45-degree angle, a tentative step tricked Thompson into taking half a step back, and directly pulled up a three-pointer;
Make an air cut from the center line, receive a ground pass from Nowitzki, and make a layup;

Cut off Thompson's shot and go straight to a fast break dunk!

After breaking Curry's pick-and-roll, he slid down Bogut's ball, and directly chased and hit a three-pointer!

A wave of 10:0 pulled the point difference to 18 points. Zhang Xin was dumbfounded: Is this ten years ago?
Mark Jackson hurriedly called a timeout, scolded Curry, Thompson, Green and others, and reprimanded them for not concentrating. Green and the others also knew that it was their own problem, but it was a bit too much to be so merciless in public, and their faces were not very good , Zhang Xin hurried out to smooth things over.

Zhang Xin clapped his hands and said loudly: "Brothers, it doesn't matter, this kind of game is really exciting! Otherwise, I won't be able to play in the two quarters, and I won't be able to do activities. Thank you, big brothers, for helping me! Haha..."

Green and the others turned pale and smiled slightly. Mark Jackson snorted and felt nothing. Zhang Xin had a headache. The poor man must have something to hate. After this season, Mark Jackson may be kicked out, no matter what. Whether he wins the championship or not, coach Jackson's emotional intelligence is really worrying, and it also makes the management hate it.

When Green Curry and the others were about to play, Zhang Xin held their necks and walked a few steps, and said to them quietly: "The coach is not very emotionally intelligent, so don't bother with him." Green couldn't help laughing , That’s right, if it wasn’t for the lack of EQ, Mark Jackson couldn’t have such a bad relationship with everyone, so why bother with him, smiled and nodded with Zhang Xin: “I see, I remember our Target!"

Zhang Xin nodded with a smile and continued to rest.

I thought that the focused Warriors could open the score, but I didn't expect Nowitzki to open it as soon as he came up. How terrifying is a big man who feels open, and he can't be guarded at all. Nowitzki's golden rooster is independent Don't want to abuse Green. Green is not tall enough. To defend a historical scorer like Nowitzki, you can't guard against it by being tough. What's more, the golden rooster is originally designed to deal with this kind of forceful shot when it is not easy to handle. , As long as there is a little space, Nowitzki can hit.

Green and Bogut switched defenses. Although Nowitzki's footsteps were slow, he still had no problem dealing with a big man like Bogut. After a wave of trickery, the Mavericks pulled the score to 10 points, which is already chasable. The scope is over, and the first half is over.

The score between the two sides was 76:66, and the Warriors led by 10 points.

In the locker room, Mark Jackson fired again, but the team members didn't respond this time, and after thinking about what Zhang Xin said, it didn't matter.

After that, Mark Jackson arranged a defense against Nowitzki and asked Zhang Xin to get ready to play. Zhang Xin nodded: "If I play, our defense can be bolder. I will help everyone defend, everyone can boldly double-team, the rest pay attention to cutting off the passing line, Nowitzki is tall enough, everyone pay attention to raise your hands to interfere."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding.
