The Whip of the God of Basketball

? Tonight Byron Scott has led Leon’s nose most of the time. The regular season has always been "I dominate, see what happens", since the Nets have an advantage in the lineup and hard power , Then Scott allows the players to play normally, the Nets have a great chance of winning the game.

Without Mutombo, Scott let Collins, Scarabrian, Rogers, Aaron Williams and others take turns to play, consume Antoine Walker, and allow the Nets' outside players to have more Abundant energy to deal with the Celtics' perimeter, instead of letting Walker open, need the help of perimeter players.

　　 Grant Long is an unexpected surprise for Scott, but his performance is limited to part of the time. At a critical moment, Long, who lacks the ability to attack independently, cannot make up for the void caused by Walker's cold hand. As long as the Nets maintain a normal offensive and defensive state in the last minute, you enter one, I enter one, or defend the Celtics one, the game is over.

　　 However, Wang Zhizhi's unexpected three-pointer was a key goal in order to reverse the situation, and then a foul made the Celtics take the initiative. After that, the player's personal ability was reflected. Paul Pierce was in a good state of the game, and his decisive breakthrough directly stopped the Nets.

　　 With a three-point lead, Scott still has to play steadily, but the biggest problem with the Nets as a defensive team is that they do not have a very reliable and stable scoring point. Looking at the Nets' schedule and record table for this season, you can find that the Nets' games either win by about 10 points or lose by about 10 points. There are very few games with a difference of less than 5 points.

In the few games with close scores, the Nets mostly lost, such as 95:96 to Seattle, 99:101 to the Knicks, 107:108 to the 76ers, 103:106 to the Jazz. , 86:89 lost to the Wizards, 90:91 lost to the Jazz, and so on this series of losses, the Nets have a chance to win, but at the critical moment, they are difficult to score.

　　The reason is simple, because their team's number one player, point guard Jason Kidd, can't shoot.

　　 The only long-range jumper Kidd made in this game was the three-pointer Wang Zhizhi made before he came on the court, almost killing the Celtics at home.

"I'd rather let Kidd take two points than let him try three points! We need a defensive trap. No matter who is holding the ball on their perimeter, we have to attract them to a 45-degree position. Don't let them go in the middle. Don't let them. They slipped to the bottom line, 45 degrees, remember to rush to pj and Chris. However, you must pay attention to the players you are marking yourself, don’t lose position, remember not to lose position! If you are cleanly pushed to the inside, we only have to foul , When fouled, be a little harder and pounce directly on the arm. If anyone gives them a 2+1, I will screw off his head. "Leon asked Dick Hart to give the players during the timeout. Arrange the defensive tactics, the old man directly let go of harsh words.

　　 Because the Nets do not have an offensive arrow figure, the Celtics can continue to maintain their average defense, one-on-one. At the same time Leon replaced Wang Zhizhi and Chris Anderson. Although Anderson is not trusted by Cowens and is not as robust as Dalembert on the defensive end, Leon still values ​​his mobility at the critical moment. With the ability to block and interfere, put him on the field and build an inside line of defense with Pj-Brown.

For the Celtics' outside players, it is inevitable to block the mid lane. Let Kidd go to the mid lane free throw line and pass all the opportunities to him. Therefore, Kidd or other net holders must be used. Drive to the sides. And because Kenyon Martin has a strong ability to cut through the middle, they can't just let them go to the bottom line to prevent the bottom pass and directly attack the basket, so the inside line will be very passive.

The best strategy is to drive them to 45 degrees, 45 degrees is the world of low attackers, but the Nets are not in the super low attackers, even with Paul Pierce, they may rely on the most in the final stage. It is Kidd's breakthrough and Martin's offensive rebound. For the breaker, the position of 45 degrees is really not good. A funnel and basket position are not conducive to direct attacks, and passing is very embarrassing.

　　 So Hart’s strategy is completely okay. The problem depends on the Nets’ routines and the Celtics’ performance.

"Don't focus on Kidd. If he has a chance, let him shoot. Pay attention to his passing, not only Martin, but also other people ambushing on the flanks. Interfering with them, it's your duty, ok "After Hart finished the arrangement, Leon took Anderson to the side to give a personal interview.

　　 Leon knows that Kidd’s pass is far more threatening than his shooting. At the 45-degree angle, players often get into a dilemma when shooting at critical moments: Is it to play board or hollow shot? Once the shot hesitates, the ball will be misaligned. If Kidd can make a shot, Leon can't do it, but he can't allow Kidd to pass through the Celtics' defense and let the Nets directly succeed at the basket.

As for the three-pointers, Hart and Leon have made it clear. Let them shoot. Leon bet that Scott’s more conservative coaching style will not allow players to score only one point unless there is a perfect opportunity. In the case of a stable victory, shoot a risky three-pointer.

　　 The timeout ends, and the final tens of seconds will determine the moment of the game.

Jason Kidd received the foul ball with difficulty under the entanglement of Arenas. Obviously, the Nets' foul play tactics did not work. They wanted to make a stacked tactic, where the four people gathered on the right side of the half. The two weakly cut the feint attack, and then Richardson as the final actual attack point, under the involvement of Kidd, he can choose to shoot or break directly.

　　 But the Celtics players are very focused, especially Pierce saw through Richardson's intentions, staring very tightly, the Nets had to take plan b, let Kidd hold the ball and spend time, looking for opportunities to find new opportunities.

After Kidd got the ball, he found that the mid lane was blocked and dead. Anderson and Brown had a ghost shot from left to right. Kidd tried to make a pick-and-roll with Martin, and then discovered that Anderson Arenas bypassed Martin and followed the defense directly. , This is obviously to put Kidd cast, not let him suddenly.

　　 Kidd hesitated for a while and still didn't make a shot. He really didn't have much confidence. Besides, he still had to consume more than ten seconds.

At this time Arenas stood in front of Kidd and began to press, and then turned sideways, leaving a position in the 45-degree direction. Kidd knew this was a defensive trap, but he glanced around and the Celtics were staring. People, without a good pass opportunity, it seems that even if you know it is a cover, you have to go inside.

Kidd tried to go to the bottom line. Skiles circumvented the bottom line and wanted to take Reed's defense, but Reed didn't follow after reaching the basket. He even released Skiles and blocked the bottom line. position. Skiles was free, Kidd immediately transferred the ball to Martin in the middle, and then Martin passed the ball directly to the open Skiles!

　　 At this time, the nets on the weak side have formed more play and less play, but Skiles hesitated. After receiving the ball, he did not shoot, but continued to hold the ball from near the bottom line to break through, wanting to make a reverse basket from the right.

But this time Chris Anderson made his mark~www.readwn.com~ He leaped up a pegboard cap, pressed the basketball on the backboard, and got the ball in the second jump, a very precious possession. ! At this time, there are 11 seconds left before the end of the game.

　　 At this time, Leon used his last short timeout. The time of 20 seconds was enough for him to plan a tactic.

However, Leon did not take out the tactical board as usual and drew an accurate and numbered lore tactic. Instead, he threw away the board and pen and said: "The last attack, 11 seconds, my tactics It's simple, single block, three-pointers, offensive rebounds. That's all, remember, offensive rebounds are the key! Surprise!"

Leon’s final moments of the evening highlight a surprise. The reason is simple. He has tactics in his mind. The problem is the state of the Celtics players tonight and can’t use those tactics in front of the Nets’ perimeter defense. type it out.

　　 Only by surprise, only by working hard and believing in the players' abilities can the Celtics reach this final step. At this time, Antoine Walker is still sitting on the bench and watching.

　　 Leon replaced Wang Zhizhi again without letting Walker play. (To be continued.)
