NBA: Starting with $20 billion, buying the Knicks

In fact, the NBA has been useless against scoring champions since ancient times, even the most powerful defensive players. Basketball itself is a sport with weak offense and defense.

Otherwise, if you can defend and can't score goals, that's football...

But basketball is also a collective team sport, and the ability to score can be weakened through the strength of the team.

Jiang Chao’s anti-thunder manual for the young coach has his own views on how to defend against Durant. Of course, he also has the experience of watching each team’s defense against Durant in his previous life.

One is that you must defend from the front line, let alone Beverly. Beverly may be able to defend against Durant, who has greatly reduced his breakthroughs in 8 years, but he will definitely not be able to defend against Durant, who is currently in a state of explosion.

This has been done in the previous game including this one, and it was also done by Cole and Messina. Cole can use Wiggins, Iguodala, and Kuminga to defend in later generations. Durant, not Thompson...

Take a single anti-test effect first.

If Durant scored consecutively, Jiang Chao said that he could use a flanking strategy in some rounds.

If there is no good three-point shooter on the outside, he can double-team decisive points.

To put it bluntly, the strategy of flanking Durant is to test the shooting ability of the rest of the Thunder team. Therefore, if the young coach sees that the shooting ability of players other than Durant on the field is average, or when he is playing two inside shots, he can be decisive. Shouting for double-teaming, this is how top games are played. There are not so many timeouts to arrange tactics for you, and the sidelines need to be louder.

This is the method used by Steve Kerr of later generations. It is basically a single defense, and there is a chance to lock up and prevent the ball from being caught.

In fact, the Celtics of later generations also did a good job defending against Durant. At that time, the young coach had been promoted to the general manager of the Green Army, and the head coach was Udoka.

Because there are a bunch of short guys outside the Celtics in the 22nd season, the Celtics can publish a book "How to defend Kevin Durant with various postures" after the series.

These are also some defensive tips that Jiang Chao used to tell the Knicks.

For short guys like Guwei and Smart, the first step in defending Durant is to prevent Durant from receiving the ball.

They first stuck to Durant's lower plate like a meat pier, gave enough physical resistance, and tried to push Durant's receiving area out. As long as Durant was a little careless, they could not match the intensity of confrontation , Gewei and Smart immediately cut off the ball like a hungry tiger.

Even if in the end Durant held the ball firmly under heavy pressure, he had no other offensive options other than a quick shot, because as soon as he dribbled, the fast hands of Guwei and Smart could immediately put the ball back on the ball. The ball is snatched away.

How do tall men like Tatum and Horford defend against Durant?

They are not as aggressive as Smart and Guwei, but they are skilled,

They will use their lateral movement to fight against the body, jam Durant's breakthrough line, prevent him from breaking through to the near-rim area of ​​the basket, and force Durant to stop the ball in the middle distance.

Then make full use of his height and wingspan advantages, and relax to interfere with Durant's shooting.

With such a tough and intelligent defense, Durant's iconic mid-range shots sometimes miss repeatedly.

Because the sport of basketball is still closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, the easier it is to score. Players who rely purely on shooting always have inaccurate shots.

However, the Green Army's defense against Durant was not only that, but also soft and hard. Durant was already very uncomfortable being defended by the Celtics alone, and he had to deal with the Celtics' sudden attack from time to time.

Among these pincers, some Durant can be predicted. For example, when the Celtics are facing Bruce Brown of the Nets, they will definitely empty Brown, who has no shooting ability, and come over to pinch Durant.

Durant is better at handling these predictable flanking attacks, and some flanking attacks are improvised by the Celtics.

These impromptu flanking attacks sometimes come out of the blue. Seeing Durant dribble a little bit, or the position of receiving the ball is not good, the Celtics, regardless of 21 , immediately let go of their opponents. , flattered and rushed to Durant.

If Durant can't react in time, he will make a mistake and be directly intercepted by the Celtics.

This is related to Jiang Chao's understanding that Durant has not been a good passer in his career, and this is what Jiang Chao and the young coach want to bet on.

That is the situation where Donovan may have told Dewey and the second young master to double-team and immediately play the ball, but the players did not follow the coach's instructions on the court!

This situation is actually a lot in the NBA.

Maybe it’s because I’ve watched too many hero movies. Maybe it’s because all American players have a personal heroism. At critical moments, there are moments when you play hard or want to pretend to be one-on-three and one-on-five. Westbrook and Jiang Chao know that he is good at passing the ball. Damn, Du Xiaoshuai is just so-so.

As long as you bet on him not passing, it is easy to be double-teamed and make mistakes. The Celtics took advantage of Durant's mistakes and launched a large number of fast-break counterattacks. attack.

In fact, this year's Spurs also used these methods, but the Spurs players are really old, and they may be caught up by strong men like Westbrook and Chandler if they push the counterattack and go 2 seconds first.

This is what Jiang Chao wrote about how to defend against Durant! ! ! !
No matter how bad it is to let Durant play alone and strangle Westbrook, Durant is a man or not a god, or just let Durant hold the ball by himself, let Durant catch the ball, and cut off everyone in the Thunder. Let Durant also fall into the singles vicious circle.

As for Westbrook? ?
Don't forget the young Ling Yunzhi, who was once the best in the world!
The current Megatron has neither the idea nor the idea of ​​a triple-double, he is just reckless, and his shooting is unstable, so the Knicks are not afraid of his impact type at all.

I'm afraid that Durant, who can kill the Knicks' two all-star centers.

Back on the field.

In the fourth quarter, Durant was still on the court, but with Harrington and Perkins beside him, the young coach decisively asked Yi Jianlian to double-team.

Du Xiaoshuai didn't pass the ball this time, he dribbled to the baseline and forcibly made a pull-up, and his shot was cut short.

The Thunder did not grab Yao alone in the two inside rebounds. Yao gave it to Kyle Anderson. Anderson squirmed and started to hit Little Tudou, holding high and attracting Gallinelli to defend his back and pass to Hayward who followed up.

Haishuai took off elegantly and dunked with both hands! ! !
3 strikers fast break!
Smooth and handsome! !
After the dunk, Haishuai won a bunch of screaming female fans, as if telling the Italian cannon Gallinelli:
"You're not handsome enough, so we don't want you!"

"It's okay to have a trick in your bag!"

Assistant coach Steven Kerr snickered on the bench. Jiang Chao's small books never talk nonsense. This sudden double-team still made Durant unable to react and succeeded.

Little did he know that this was how he treated Durant in later generations.

And he is also very good at using Durant himself in later generations. Let Durant play the 4th position, which is a lot of fun.

After playing for 5 minutes in the fourth quarter, as Yi Jianlian's ball gradually broke through Cole Aldridge's hands and exploded, the Knicks led by 8 points, and the scene was also on fire.

The half-time break may be a reflection, maybe after being enlightened by the mustache, Harden also took the initiative to get up and tell the head coach Stevens that he can play and recovered.

But the young coach didn’t have a bird, and motioned him to sit down. Messina also said that you should sit on the bench. From their point of view, Harden is obviously out of shape today. If he takes the risk again, G2 will lose because of it. That would be a great sin.

Even Curry used it loosely in the fourth quarter, which shows how cautious the Knicks are. A defensive lineup that can play 3 strikers should try to use 3 strikers. Short guys like Matthews and Beverly haven't played for a minute. .

Unexpectedly, Harden was still resisting. Taking advantage of standing during the timeout, he saw Jiang Chao seated behind the coach's bench and yelled directly at Boss Jiang:

"Boss Jiang, I want to play!"

Jiang Chao skinny smile:
"Oh, if you insist on going, I'll just DNP you for a year. Anyway, I have a lot of people available, how about it?"

When Harden heard this, he was really shocked, DNP for one year? ? ?
"Speak, go to this game and rest for the next season."

Harden immediately persuaded. Compared with the young commander, Jiang Chao is the scariest, but don't underestimate the power of his words, he can really do it, even Iba, who heard this next to him, has nothing to do with him Kadu has goosebumps all over his body, damn it, he's so scared!
Say the most ruthless words in the most ordinary tone! !

As expected of Boss Jiang who created "The Lonely Brave".

Today's Jiang Chao also reminded Curry next to Boss Jiang in 09, and he was so decisive at that time.

"We Harden are ignorant, nonsense, sit down!"

Here, Harden's agent has been paying attention to Harden. After finding out that Harden and Jiang Chao seemed to have an argument, he went around a dozen auditoriums and rushed to the middle. He said hello to Jiang Chao and signaled Harden to hurry up. sit down.

He was about to scold Harden to death in his heart, but he heard the last sentence. If Harden is really DNP for a year next season, his agent will have to lose money, even though he knows that Harden's sneakers will still sell well.

But what if Jiang Chao is determined to be ruthless, and the sneakers are not promoted to Harden? ? ?

Why are you little player crying to the boss......

In fact, Harden was the most afraid in his heart. He actually wanted to "find someone", and he didn't contradict Jiang Chao or anything, but Jiang Chao said the most ruthless words directly. How about being startled, just stand obediently and listen to the tactics Yes, to be honest.

Although the other players who were not on the field just now pretended not to hear them, they actually heard them all. Beverly leaned obediently next to Dayao and pretended to listen to the tactics.

The game continued, the young coach sent Danny Green as a 3D guard, and the ball was still controlled by Paojiao or Kyle Anderson. It seems that Curry and Harden really don't know how to use them today. This method of employing people is indeed bold enough.

This story will definitely make headlines, because there are so many people at the scene, even if ESPN didn't rebroadcast this scene, someone will always take pictures of Harden talking with Jiang Chao and arguing with the young marshal.

If you win the headlines, you will definitely make headlines if you lose.

Wang Binbin even thought of a title for the unscrupulous media.

If he wins, it is the decisiveness of the young coach, to praise the management, and by the way, Harden's sunspots are having a carnival.

If you lose, it means that the management is being sprayed by Harden fans, including Jiang Chao.

After all, how outrageous it is to give up a starting shooting guard who averaged 23+7 per game in the last half of the fourth quarter!

But Harden also has his own funny attributes. Didn’t the ESPN host also mention why Harden didn’t play? They didn’t see what happened on the sidelines. They only knew that Harden was not on the court in the last 3 minutes. It's time to play.

Then I saw Harden, who was pressed on the bench, pouting, his mouth full of water.

Fatty.Unhappy.gif!

"puff"

Jiang Chao couldn't help laughing from behind. Harden is really fun and has a real temperament. Look at the elementary school students next to him. Although he looks cute, the city is very deep.

Thinking of this, he called the bodyguard behind:
"Lin, buy me a super-large strawberry-flavored milkshake."

"Well, good boss!"

……

The time came to the last minute and a half.

The Knicks led by 8 points.

With the small success of the Knicks defending Durant, Westbrook, who was affected here, also played rough. He is not like Wade who can use throws in front of Yao and Howard. He is the first to break through. Behind a line of defense is the kind of guy who does it.

Not to mention that Donovan was also quite decisive. After Westbrook challenged Howard and was overturned and almost fought on the ground, he gave all the ball to Durant and Gallinelli.

Gallinelli has been able to control the ball in the Thunder, and the Italian is quite tough. If he hadn't made pickle fouls several times and forced Butler to score, the point difference would have been in double digits.

"With the bonus of playing the old club, Gallinelli has 13 points."

"It's okay, Chandler doesn't have the bonus from his old club."

"That's different. Chandler left at the beginning. Gallinelli played for a year, and he was almost able to win the championship with the team in the second year."

"Hahaha, he chose it himself, my brother Chao didn't let him go."

On the offensive end, Curry sorted out the offense and Westbrook put up all kinds of strength. The referee didn't blow to block it at this time. Curry barely gave it to George at 23 seconds, and Pickle took the pot and missed 3 points.

Durant counterattacked with long legs, took a long stride to bypass Kyle Anderson's squirming defense, and scored a layup with fire!
handsome!

Even Jiang Chao thinks he is handsome. This kind of long-handed and long-legged player is really suitable for playing basketball.

But he's a Knick, and he has to win this game.

The young marshal also had the same idea, and called the last 20-second short timeout, mainly for substitutions and to remind the defense.

Jiang Chao also yelled to the coaching staff from behind: "Stevens, it's time to defend!"

There is still 1 minute left, and there is a difference of 6 points. It is basically done by defending for one round. The Knicks must play for 24 seconds, then there are 36 seconds left, and the Thunder can have at most 2 rounds.

"receive."

The young marshal nodded at Jiang Chao, and turned around to deploy the five defenses of death that specialize in dealing with outside shots! !

Also let Thunder Donovan see our Knicks' tactical reserves! ! !
This round directly replaces the slow and tired ones! !

Point guard Beverly.

Guard Danny Green.

Forwards Paul George, Hayward.

Inside Ibaka! !

The five are fast-footed and can change defenses infinitely and assist in defense. The main purpose is to limit 3-point shots! !

You score casually inside, and the Knicks own the first ball after the timeout. !
"Nicks is so fucking smart!"

When the Thunder fans watched Beverly disgustingly holding the ball under Westbrook's defense for 4 seconds, they threw up after Ibaka turned around and failed to make a layup. It really took 24 seconds to run out up.

And Durant, the god of death, came out to dribble directly at this time, and Jiang Chao hurriedly shouted and posted it! !
Because he knew that Death God Du had a three-point point to close the game, that is, to dribble and suddenly draw a three-pointer, which had to be posted by someone.

Everyone obviously didn't expect Durant to dribble halfway, but the Knicks are fast.

Pickled Pepper hesitated, but Beverly went straight to the top.

This reassured Jiang Chao a lot.

Don't pickle the pepper at the critical moment.

Paul George's background buff is too scary! !
Don't say that Beverly's defense is really good, so he forced Durant to go to the left, and he squeezed Beverly to break through the inside line, facing Ibaka's help defense and lobbing it to the inside line Perkins.

Perkins scored on the basketball, but this wave has already taken 13 seconds.

After that, Beverly and Pickled Pepper started to use 24 seconds disgustingly. The Thunder had no choice but to foul and timeout or something, but it was useless because there was not enough time.

"Death's five-defense and three-point defense effect is really awesome!! The young commander's tactics are really flexible!"

"No wonder Boss Jiang is standing on the sidelines, he directed!"

"Haha, Boss Jiang directed the classic!"

"Call Coach Jiang!!" Although Knicks fans know that the young coach is very capable now, teasing (boasting) Jiang Chao has become a repertoire.

In the end, Westbrook had no choice but to miss 3 points and three misses in the half.

Finals G2.

The Knicks defeated the Thunder 99:94, and the big score was rewritten to 1:1
The power of the defending champion!
