king of defenders

Chapter 1393 Changes of the Nets
In this way, the Bulls got a chance inside, but Markkanen failed to score the ball. Markkanen's style of play is a bit similar to Porzingis, and he is not the kind of "tough guy" inside , with a slender figure, capable of both inside and outside, and tends to be a skilled insider.

This makes the advantage that the Bulls can play against the Layup Nets, a lineup of one big and four small.

The advantage of one big and four small is that they are flexible, they can widen the defense, there will be many opportunities outside, and they can also play quick counterattacks. The disadvantage is that the inside is weak, which is not very good for rebound protection.

After the Bulls attacked and hit the iron, the Nets quickly launched a counterattack. After Meng Yun arrived in the frontcourt, he broke through, and then passed the ball out to Anthony. However, Anthony did not feel very good today and still failed to make a shot.

Turning around, the Bulls came to kill, Paul personally operated the knife, and used the pick-and-roll to throw Meng Yun away, forming a dislocation singles, hitting the inside, and shooting against Noel.

boom!
This time he also failed to score. Markkanen stood against Noel and was about to accept the rebound, but suddenly a hand rose and passed him to grab the rebound.

"It's Meng Yun."

"The jump is so high, this bounce is really scary."

The fans exclaimed.

Meng Yun's height is considered tall among defenders, and he has amazing bounce and excellent explosive power. Although Markkanen has a height advantage, he still has to be stuck with Noel, so he can't jump up with all his strength. Meng Yun grabs the rebound in front of him. After taking it off, I couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Meng Yun had already launched a counterattack, quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and then suddenly made a pass, the defender was swung away, and Meng Yun took the opportunity to make a layup.

In the next few rounds, the Nets had the upper hand and led the score.

Coach Atkinson nodded secretly: "A lineup of one big and four small is indeed feasible, but it's okay to deal with a team like the Bulls. If it's against a team with excellent interior, such as the 76ers or the Bucks, I'm afraid there's no way to fight with one big and four small."

"Another point is that our outside shooting performance is not bad, but mainly because Meng Yun and Harris shoot very stably. Others, including Anthony, Dinwiddie, and LeVille's three-point shooting are not particularly stable. So only Meng Yun is on the court. When I was playing, I was able to play against one big and four small ones, but I couldn’t when Meng Yun wasn’t on the court.”

"As for the small lineup."

Coach Atkinson thought for a while, then shook his head, "Forget about the complete small lineup. We are not like the Warriors. Before, the Warriors had two excellent three-point shooters, Curry and Thompson, as well as superstars like Durant. , Green is the organizer, and this kind of company can make the small lineup play superbly. We only have Harris as a pure shooter, and his level is much worse than that of Curry and Thompson. Our outside shooting is actually relatively good. Rely on Meng Yun, otherwise Harris, a stable three-point shooter, will be easily marked to death by the opponent."

Originally, Coach Atkinson considered one big, four small, and a complete small lineup, but the problem is that the team still relies heavily on Meng Yun, who needs Meng Yun outside the three-point line, and Meng Yun is needed to organize passes. Meng Yun is also required to attack. In the few rounds just now, Meng Yun also contributed a lot in rebounding.

Meng Yun has to do everything, he is not superhuman!
So now the Nets don't have the mature conditions to play any small lineups. Lineups like one big and four small can only be played occasionally. If they really meet teams like the 76ers and Bucks, they dare not take Come out, otherwise the inside line will be blown up, it's pure death.

Most of the first quarter has passed, and the Nets lead by 9 points.

At this time, coach Atkinson made a substitution, replacing Meng Yun and Anthony, and then Noel was also replaced and replaced with a rotation lineup led by Dinwiddie.

Before Meng Yun returned, the team changed the starting lineup. In fact, it was related to Meng Yun. Meng Yun and Coach Atkinson discussed it, and they both believed that the most suitable role for Dinwiddie was the "sixth man of the team". He is not mature enough, and it is more suitable to play as a substitute, and he can also temper him. LeVille needs a pitcher beside Meng Yun, and Harris is more suitable than him, so he can only become a substitute.

Therefore, the rotation lineup is led by Dinwiddie, mainly he and LeVille are the main players, and the others are only auxiliary, and the offense mainly depends on them.

Seeing the Nets replacing Meng Yun, the head coach of the Bulls' eyes lit up and stared at the court closely.

The result disappointed him. I thought the Nets played well before because of Meng Yun, but now they are playing well without Meng Yun on the court. Dinwiddie and LeVille are the main players. Sharp, Belica pulls to the three-point line to shoot a three-pointer, Allen is in charge of the rebound, Carroll is in charge of support, and looking for opportunities to cut, helping to protect rebounds, defense, etc.
A few people actually played very well, and quickly opened up the point difference to more than ten points.

The gossip said that Dinwiddie, LeVille and others were at odds with Belica, Yang and others, and there were conflicts between them. At this time, it didn't look like that. Pass the ball to Belica, obviously there is no interaction between them.

"Could it be that our guesses are all wrong?" The head coach of the Bulls frowned, "No, the team's tacit understanding problem still exists, but because they play more selflessly, and several people happen to have distinct characteristics, and the division of labor and cooperation can Complementary, so it seems that they cooperate well. However, the gossip about the Nets' discord may really be a rumor."

The Bulls coach found the reason, but there was nothing good about it.

Mainly because of the actual situation of the Bulls, they don't have a deep bench lineup, otherwise it is impossible for 18-year rookies like power forward Carter and small forward Hutchison to start.

It can be said that the Bulls do not have many available players. In terms of lineup depth, they are not as good as the Nets. Dinwiddie, LeVille, and Belica are actually very good players in the current lineup of the Nets. , at least much better than the Bulls' bench.

The first quarter ended quietly, the score was 34:24, and the Nets led by 10 points.

"It feels like the Nets today are completely different from the last game."

"Yeah, I feel that there is a big difference. Although they only lost 5 points in the last game, it was mainly because of Meng Yun. But today the Nets team played well. Whether it is the individual performance of the players or the relationship between each other The cooperation, these are much better than the last game.”

The fans in the audience can see that compared with the last game, the Nets played much better today, and they seem to be able to handle it with ease. Although the opponents they face are different, the change of the Nets itself is the key.
