Chapter 1059 Defensive Counterattack vs Defensive Counterattack
"beep"

The Bucks again requested a timeout.

However, coach Joe Prati has no good solution. This is not a tactical problem, or even a bad performance on his side. Before halftime was over, he had already scored close to 20 points, and Middleton also scored in double figures.

The key lies in the gap in strength, the opponent is stronger than their own.

"It's okay." Coach Joe Prati took a deep breath and said, "Just play like this, be more stable, pass the ball more, and pull people away. Also, you must do a good job of defense. Meng Yun is very difficult to defend against. , then try to defend the rest of the Heat as much as possible. Defense down, and then fight back."

"Ah."

"Yes, coach."

Everyone promises.

What is the fastest chasing points on the court?Of course it's a three-pointer.

So how to chase points the fastest?That is the defensive counterattack.

The Warriors are the best at this point. Their combination of defensive counterattack and three-pointers is very good, and they can often play a wave.Often you don’t have time to react, and you just feel that the players on the court come and go like lanterns, and the offensive and defensive transitions are extremely fast, and when you react, the Warriors may have already played 8:0, 10:0, or even more exaggerated numbers.

Of course, the Bucks don't have such an excellent three-point ability, but no matter what team it is, defensive counterattacks are a sharp weapon for chasing points.

Because defending down and scoring again, it's not just about getting two or three points.

If you can't defend, even if you can score when it's your turn to attack, it won't be very effective, because both of them score, even if you score three points and others score two points, it will be impossible to catch up. very slowly.

Only when others can't score, we can score, so we can chase points quickly. After a few rounds, it will be 7:0, 10:0, and the difference of more than ten points is just a few minutes.

"Okay, let's play." Coach Joe Prati waved his hand, but his heart was very solemn, "The method is a method, but it is not easy to do. Can defensive counterattacks prevent Meng Yun's scoring? The success rate of counterattacks Is it high enough?"

These are all questions that leave coach Joe Prati with no idea.

On the Heat's side, Coach Spoelstra didn't make any arrangements. Now they have an absolute advantage, and their own strength has the advantage.

The pause ends soon.

The two sides returned to the court, and the Bucks significantly accelerated their offensive rhythm.

This is also one of the characteristics of playing a defensive counterattack. The rhythm must be quick and not fall into positional warfare, otherwise the counterattack may not be able to fight.

"Huh? Is this going to be a defensive counterattack?" Coach Spoelstra frowned, couldn't help but sneer, and signaled for substitutions, replacing Whiteside and Xiang Long, and exhorted Xiang Long : "The opponent wants to play a defensive counterattack, so we will also play a defensive counterattack. Your main task is to attack. It doesn't matter if you can't defend Antetokounmpo, but you must score for me on the offensive end. When you have a chance, you must shoot a three-pointer. Resolute, understand?"

"Understood." Xiang Long's eyes lit up, and he understood clearly.

Since playing defensive counterattack, outside shooting, especially three-point shooting is very important.

Because the offense in the defensive counterattack is very quick, the time is very short, there is no time for you to go to the inside to get a position, it is passed twice from the outside, generally no more than three times, and then the shot is made, and in order to pull the defender away as much as possible, look for The opportunity to make a shot is usually a three-point shot.

Whiteside has no three-point ability, and his movement speed is relatively slow. He is not as effective as Xiang Long when playing fast defensive counterattacks with the Bucks.

Xiang Long came to the field and whispered something in Meng Yun's ear to convey the coach's intention. Meng Yun nodded and gestured to his teammates.

Seeing this gesture, Green and Korver became excited.

Meng Yun pushed forward with the ball, and soon reached the frontcourt, asked for a pick-and-roll, and then accelerated to break through and score the ball outside, but this time his teammates failed to make a shot. The Bucks counterattacked, and Antetokounmpo ate the ball himself and advanced The speed is very fast, this is his ability. Generally, inside players do not have the ability to eat the ball and launch a quick counterattack, but he does.

In a blink of an eye, Antetokounmpo arrived in the frontcourt, made a big change and passed the defender, and taking a European step was a one-handed dunk.

But before he could celebrate, the Heat had launched a counterattack. Monroe served in the backcourt, Meng Yun ate the ball and pushed forward, Xiang Long, Green, and Korver, three people who could shoot three-pointers, made early and quick shots, and Meng Yun quickly pushed forward In the frontcourt, some Bucks players rushed forward, and Meng Yun immediately scored the ball.

Whoosh!
The ball was passed to Korver, and immediately a Bucks player was mobilized to pounce on Korver, and Korver also split the ball and passed it to Green.

This counterattack was extremely fast, but in a few seconds, although the Bucks players returned to their own half, they had not had time to set up a defensive formation. With the Bucks' defense, Green had a chance.

Swish!
I saw Green raised the knife and hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Coach Joe Prati's heart skipped a beat when he saw this ball, and then the Heat's style of play verified his guess. After that, the Heat's game became faster and faster, and the two three-point shooters, Green and Korver, were always in ambush Outside the three-point line, Xiang Long is also abnormally on the three-point line, but he and Meng Yun cooperate more tacitly, and there will be a follow-up in a quick counterattack, which makes Meng Yun attract the defense, and he follows up to catch the ball and shoot.

On the contrary, Monroe is a little transparent.

However, this does not affect the fierce offensive of the Heat. The rhythm of both sides is very fast. An attack does not take more than ten seconds. If you miss a hit, you will retreat immediately, and the opponent's fast counterattack will follow, so you don't even have time to catch your breath. Immediately had to pounce on it.

In this way, there is basically no positional warfare. The fans only see the players running back and forth on the field, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions is dizzying.

The Bucks mainly rely on Antetokounmpo's impact. Like James, he is difficult to stop when he rushes. In addition, Middleton and Brogdon also scored three points.

But still not as good as the Heat.

Most of the Heat's scoring is concentrated outside the three-point line, because there are too many people who can shoot three-pointers. Meng Yun himself is a super shooter, and Korver, Green, Xiang Long, and even Monroe can occasionally shoot a three-pointer. Moreover, everyone suddenly went to guard against Meng Yun and others, leaving him empty really allowed him to throw in one.

After a series of three-pointers, the Bucks couldn't stand it anymore.

And the defensive counterattack emphasized by coach Joe Prati is only "counterattack", without "defense", because the rhythm is too fast, and you have no time to calmly arrange the defensive line.
