Chapter 305 Tactical Targeting
Paul Westphal's special arrangement for Iverson now seems to be effective.
It's just being blocked, it's no big deal, the ball still belongs to the digital team.
Mutombo served from the baseline, but this time, Gary Payton successfully defended and prevented Iverson from receiving the ball.
Sure enough, Iverson with the ball in his hand and Iverson without the ball are definitely in two states.
Eric Snow made a full circle and finally caught Mutombo's serve.
To be honest, it means that the referee is merciful, otherwise, this is considered a free throw violation.
The Sonics' defense is evident.
Gary Payton didn't slacken any slack, and directly approached Iverson, pulling his jersey and increasing confrontation.
He didn't let Iverson catch the ball in a daze, and let him really feel what is the best defensive player-level defense.
Iverson failed to catch the ball, and the threat of the digital team was greatly reduced. For the Sonics, the defense was half successful.
Although Eric Snow is known for his defense, although his offensive ability is limited, his organization is not bad.
No, seeing that Iverson had no chance to catch the ball, he made the most correct choice.
Finding the right opportunity, Eric Snow gave the ball directly to Derek Coleman, a chance for a misplaced singles.
The moment Coleman received the ball, he wanted to cry. It's been a long time since he played singles with the ball.
Seeing Wang Hao defending him from behind gave him even more confidence.
The basketball was pushed out of the bottom line just now, and the attack time was back to 14 seconds. There is not much time to delay.
Derek Coleman didn't dare to waste time, and attacked immediately after getting the ball, which required digging inside.
"Snapped!"
While dribbling, he began to squeeze into the inside, and suddenly exerted strength, and suddenly found that he didn't squeeze in.
This was not because Wang Hao's defense was too tight, it was simply that he was too soft, or in other words, he underestimated Wang Hao's defense.
Although Wang Hao plays the second position, in fact, his body is not inferior to the players in the third position.
In the fourth position, it may be a little bit worse, but don't forget that Derek Coleman is 34 years old.
Too old, the pinnacle of his career was ruined by injuries, unwilling to train, grumpy...
Don't look at Coleman as a fat man today, but strength against this thing is not entirely based on tonnage.
Tonnage is the foundation of strength, but the premise is that you have to practice it.
The first push failed to push Wang Hao, Coleman was a little surprised, and tried again.
This time, Wang Hao was finally pushed back slightly, but the effect was not great, which made Coleman a little anxious.
What's more, time is ticking by.
Derek Coleman didn't dare to delay, so he could only use his weight advantage to forcibly turn around and make a shot.
However, the moment he finished his shot, a palm cut to the basketball with great precision.
Derek Coleman failed to make any response, and could really watch Wang Hao snatch the basketball.
Before he could even react, Wang Hao had already started to fight back.
The supersonic counterattack was like a flood, and the digital team simply couldn't react in time.
Derek Coleman didn't react, Mutombo was still behind, and there was Iverson, who was not in a hurry.
Eric Snow and Matt Harprin returned to the defense in time, but when they looked up, they were all stupid.
There are already four supersonic people rushing over, even PJ Brown is only a little slower.
Seeing Rashad Lewis and Michael Ridella reach the two bottom lines, the two are full of entanglements, should they follow.
No way, Rashad Lewis and Michael Reid's three-point shooting percentages are above 38% this season.
It's a pity that Wang Hao didn't give them a chance to hesitate at all. He feinted to pass the ball, and immediately deceived them.
I saw that when he immediately took the ball back, he jumped high and slammed it into the basket.
2:0
The audience in the key arena was boiling. The supersonic offense was really wonderful, flowing and flowing, and extremely gorgeous.
This season, the Sonics are definitely one of the teams with the highest All-Star attendance.
It's the offense that wins the box office, and that's true.
No, the news that the Supersonics are going to change their arena is once again spreading.
There is no way, although the key arena is very good and has a lot of historical heritage, but the competition venue is naturally new.
Although the Key Arena is not very old, it is really not worthy of the performance of the Supersonics today.
To put it bluntly, the whole venue revealed a petty air.
Coupled with the Sonics owner Howard Schultz, it complements each other even more.
"What are you doing? Cheer me up, this isn't training, what about your defense?"
As the head coach, Larry Brown was actually not that angry about Iverson's failure to make the ball.
After all, such a situation cannot happen only once in the game, but will happen again and again.
After all, it is one of the teams with the worst scoring ability in the NBA, ranking fourth with an average of 91 points per game, the bottom one.
That's right, this is the digital team, with extremely poor offensive efficiency.
It's just that the defense of the digital team is very good. It is the only team in the entire NBA that controls the scoring within 90 points.
Don't look at Iverson playing very lively and scoring. In fact, the numbers team wins by defense.
Therefore, when Larry Brown saw that the number team's defense had problems, he immediately became angry.
He doesn't care if the number team can do the best offense, he only cares whether the team can do the best defense.
To be honest, in terms of the lineup of the digital team, this is not their limit. They can go further when they get the strength.
Find an assistant coach who is good at training offense, and to a certain extent, help Larry Brown sort out the team's offense.
It's a pity that Larry Brown is not even willing to tinker with offensive tactics himself, let alone give up to others.
His offensive tactic is to give the ball to Iverson.
The digital team attacked again, and Iverson dribbled the ball across the half, still using the same tactics as before.
The others all pulled away to give up enough space for Iverson to play singles.
Even the pick-and-roll is not necessary, because once the pick-and-roll is selected, Iverson must be double-teamed.
Iverson kept dribbling to adjust his rhythm, and just when he was about to speed up his breakthrough, he stopped immediately.
Because just now, he clearly saw PJ Brown and Wang Hao moving towards the inside.
Especially Wang Hao, even put Derek Coleman two steps away, stepping on the three-second zone.
What can Derek Coleman do?
He has tried to pull Wang Hao outside the line as much as possible, and it is impossible for him to run outside the three-point line.
He can indeed shoot three-pointers, but the number of shots is just over 1, and the shooting percentage is about 30%.
Don't think that Derek Coleman is wide open, but as long as Iverson dares to pass the ball, Wang Hao can definitely return to the defensive position.
This makes Iverson very uncomfortable.
Although it was just a ball just now, he was very clear-headed, and there was already a net waiting for him inside.
It's just that hesitation is not Iverson's character. After continuous breakthroughs and changes in direction, he decisively made mid-range jumpers.
It's a pity that Gary Payton's position is maintained very well, coupled with his height advantage, it interfered with Iverson.
"Bang!"
It is said that Kobe is a small blacksmith. In fact, Iverson is not bad. The home basket of the digital team is often bent by him.
Throughout his career, Iverson averaged 12.5 strikes per game, compared to Kobe's 10.8 and McGrady's 9.2.
It's just that McGrady's data is watery, because Kobe and Iverson basically have no substitute time throughout their careers.
Especially Iverson, Kobe also played as a substitute for 2 years, McGrady played a lot of substitutes at the beginning and end of his career, and collected a lot of statistics.
The so-called brushing data here actually means that there is no main attack, and by reducing shots, the number of strikes is reduced.
If you only count the career peaks of the Magic and Rockets, McGrady averaged 11.9 strikes per game.
Among the four shooting guards, Carter has the longest career, but most of them are substitutes in the later period.
If you follow the peak of Carter's career as the Magic's previous career, then his average number of strikes per game is 10.1 times.
The four major shooting guards are actually four small blacksmiths.
Mutombo's advantage in grabbing rebounds is obvious, but the Supersonics have long been prepared for this.
PJ Brown and Wang Hao blocked Mutombo for the first time, and Lewis also blocked Derek Coleman at the same time.
In order to protect the rebound, they even gave up the fast break to a certain extent.
Sure enough, the digital team's defense is still very disciplined, almost returning to defense immediately.
That is to say, Mutombo tried an offensive rebound, failed to grab it, and immediately returned to defense.
Even O'Neal Iverson is the same.
In fact, they are still very concerned about the Supersonic's first positional battle, and they must pay attention to the defense of the digital team.
Well, it is aimed at Iverson.
Needless to say inside, Eric Snow has his eye on Michael Reid, and Matt Harprin is following Wang Hao.
As for Iverson, he can only follow Gary Payton.
Seeing this scene, Gary Payton was so angry that he summoned the crooked God of War, what does this mean, do you look down on him?
As we all know, in the defense of the digital team, Iverson exists alone, marking the worst offensive strength of the opponent.
However, facing the Sonics, the digital team's defense has a big problem, because Iverson can't defend anyone.
Against Wang Hao?What are you thinking, the difference in height is too much!
Against Michael Reed, Michael Reid can keep running, running crazy.
Although it is impossible to vomit Iverson, but a lot of physical energy is consumed, should Iverson still attack?
Just like before 2010, there were two yellow-green battles, and the Celtics faced the Lakers in the finals.
Kobe has defended against Pierce and Rondo, but he has never defended against Ray Allen, so he is not suitable.
It's not that it can't be defended, but as the core of the team, it can't consume a lot of physical energy on it.
So, it can only be Gary Payton.
Gary Payton is also impossible, first handed the ball to Wang Hao, and then immediately made a low post.
In the meantime, he asked for the ball with his mouth crooked. It seems that God of War with crooked mouth is really angry, and he is about to explode!
Iverson's defense is actually a trick, a gambling steal.
It's a pity that this trick is easy to use on others, but it's not enough to use it on Gary Payton.
Who is Gary Payton?
Defensive expert, the first player in NBA history to win the best defensive player honor as a point guard.
Gary Payton's defense is mainly entanglement, but he is not bad in steals, averaging 1.8 steals per game.
It has so much experience, using its physical advantage, firmly suppressed Iverson, and then received the ball.
After receiving the ball, Gary Payton was not in a hurry, but made the digital team's defensive decision first.
Sure enough, in order to protect Iverson, Mutombo immediately assisted in the defense and did not give Gary Payton a chance to eat alone.
It's just that Gary Payton reacted faster and gave the ball to PJ Brown in the first place.
PJ Brown is not a good passer, but he can still move the ball.
After Wang Hao got the ball, he broke through directly, and then split the ball. Rashad Lewis made a steady mid-range hit.
The defense of the digital team was completely defeated.
It's just that this time Larry Brown didn't yell anymore, but folded his hands and began to think hard.
The defensive failure just now was not because the digital team's defense was not good enough, but because the Sonics found a way.
For Iverson, the digital team was forced to double-team and the defensive formation of the digital team was changed.
When basketball appears in the hands of PJ Brown, even if PJ Brown's offensive ability is limited, it is impossible to let it go.
At this time, Derek Coleman can only make up.
But the problem is that Derek Coleman also had a defensive target at the beginning, and Lewis was vacated again.
Even at this time, the digital team's defense was able to rotate in place until Wang Hao broke through.
The defense of the digital team was completely torn apart. Derek Coleman and Matt Harprin double-teamed Wang Hao at the same time, and Lewis was leaked out.
4:0
The game has just started, and the score is only 4 points away, it seems no big deal.
It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that today's digital team is in big trouble, very big trouble.
Originally, there was a gap in the hard power of the two teams. After all, the record was so much worse, it was obvious.
But now, the digital team has been targeted tactically and is in even greater trouble.
Iverson dribbled the ball across half court, facing the supersonic woven net, he challenged again.
It was the constant fast dribbling and the constant change of rhythm, which once again allowed him to break through Gary Payton.
Facing Iverson is like this. Sometimes you know how he wants to break through, but you just can't keep up.
It's just that, facing the Supersonic's inside defense, Iverson didn't rush in foolishly.
After finding the opportunity to make a move, he made the move immediately.
This time, even Gary Payton was not in a hurry to slow down a step, but with this little space, Iverson immediately completed the shot.
"Shh!"
After scoring the goal, Iverson spread his hands and looked at the Supersonic players, especially Gary Payton and Wang Hao.
This guy is really rude!
I have to say that the digital team still has a strong foundation. After Iverson scored a goal, their morale was greatly boosted.
In the next round of defense, they actually let them defend, and did not give the Supersonics a good chance.
6 second, 5 seconds, 4 seconds...
Seeing the passing of time, Lewis directly dumped the pot and gave the ball to Wang Hao.
Facing Matt Harprin's defense, Wang Hao simply caught the ball and pulled it out.
