NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 106 is not a response ball, but a "response tactic"

Just when Stojakovic was observing Lu Yuanzhi's playing style and realizing his own "basketball way", Nelson also started to make moves.

Nelson knew that the Kings would make adjustments for the first game, especially for the Mavericks' high-post pick-and-roll tactics. Therefore, he, who has always loved research and development, had already prepared his backup plan.

It's just that the development of today's situation is a bit beyond his expectation.

The Kings adopted a stealing tactic to limit the Mavericks' pick-and-roll shots. He had expected it, but what he didn't expect was that the Kings players could do so well!

It's not surprising to Christie that he was able to successfully beat the pick-and-roll many times and follow the team player in time.

Since his debut, Christie has been known for his defensive ability, and his unusual strip muscles do have higher mobility, and his performance on the court is also in line with his technical characteristics.

But Bibby, Bobby Jackson and Lu Yuanzhi can also complete the snatch so easily, which is a bit incomprehensible.

Aren't your Kings known for their offense?

When did defensive skills become so good?

Especially that Max Lu, such a big man, can be so flexible. In time, is it possible that there will be another Garnett-like character?
Fortunately, now that the main players from both sides are back, let Najera play with him.

Two players with little offensive ability are facing each other, so let's compete for help defense!

And Michael Finley, who will start the "Jordan heir" form, will eat Christie alone in the low post.

In the first game of the Mavericks, they only exposed these two tactics and relied on their fiery touch to take the first victory in the away game. Therefore, although they were still 5 points behind in this game, Nelson did not panic at all.

You have enough tactical reserves and you are so confident!

As long as you can't crack the Mavericks' offensive tactics, and as long as the players can perform normally, the victory in this game will belong to the Mavericks sooner or later.

Just when Nelson was expecting Michael Finley to take over the game, he suddenly discovered that the Kings' defense had been adjusted!

It is still Lu Yuanzhi who walks towards Michael Finley!

This!
With Christie on the court, you're going to use that first-year rookie to guard Finley?

Nelson looked at the Kings coaching bench in surprise, Adelman, are you crazy?
Are you going to let your defensive elite guard Najera, who has no offensive ability, and then use your rookie to guard Finley?

In the Kings coaching bench, Adelman noticed someone on the Mavericks side was looking at him. Knowing that it was Nelson who was looking over, he pretended to be relaxed and joked with the people next to him.

Hehehe, old Nelson, even if you are known as a mad scientist, my defensive strategy should be even crazier!
On the court, Finley had trouble getting the ball.

Post-up singles is to use one of your own advantages, whether it is not weight, or footsteps, or even some other insignificant but decisive advantages.

But against Lu Yuanzhi alone, Finley felt that he had no advantage.

what to do?how to spell?
The person is on the field, the ball is in the hand, looking for a group online, hurry up!
Fortunately, Finley and other Mavericks players heard Nelson shouting from the sidelines, "tactic No. 5"!
The Mavericks players heard the instructions and quickly completed the adjustment.

Finley returned the ball to Nash and ran quickly to the left corner, while Najera ran to the right corner, Nowitzki quickly sank to the bottom line, and Nash and LaFrentz pulled high , ready to pick and roll.

Seeing this move, the Kings couldn't help feeling dazed for a while.

Why is this tactic so familiar?

Isn't this the tactic we practiced before?
So next, will Nash and LaFrentz do a pick-and-roll, Nowitzki will move up to do a secondary screen, and the two corners will swap positions?
Unexpectedly, the Mavericks actually moved according to the wishes of the Kings players.

What the hell!

Tactics hit!
The two teams actually arranged similar tactics!

However, the next changes are due to the characteristics of the players of the two teams.

The Kings' tactics, because Lu Yuanzhi is faster, will have more tactical variations to cut to the basket, while the Mavericks' tactics, because LaFrentz doesn't have to worry about being blocked, so he will have more shooting options.

The reaction is in the running position, that is, Lafrenz is more determined to roll outside after the pick-and-roll, forcing Divac to give up the inside defense.

And Nowitzki lifted up from the baseline, and after setting a second pick-and-roll for Nash, he also opened it to the outside and continued to open up the space inside.

Who will take advantage of such a big gap in the bottom line?
On the court, after Finley and Najera crossed paths, Najera blocked Lu Yuanzhi, and then made a cut inside to attack the basket.

As a last resort, Lu Yuanzhi could only switch defenses with Christie and keep up with Najera, while Finley stopped running to the bottom corner on the other side and directly asked for the ball in the low post.

Yes, the biggest difference in tactics between the Mavericks and the Kings is that Finley, the leader of the Mavericks, has a very strong post-up ability.

This ability is exactly the stable scoring ability that the team desperately needs when the scores are tight in the playoffs!
Originally, this tactic was designed to take advantage of the Kings' Stojakovic's weak defensive ability and let Finley attack the Yugoslavs alone.

Unexpectedly, by mistake now, it became to help Finley get rid of Lu Yuanzhi and eat Christie alone.

As a defensive vanguard, Christie wanted to scold at this time.

You worked so hard on tactics just to beat me in singles?

Did you make a mistake!
But Finley also has a hard time knowing it. Of course, he hopes that the tactics will run out of opportunities in front, and other teammates will directly attack the basket, but the Kings are surprisingly good at defending.

Since no one has a chance, he can only be the master of this tactic.

As for playing against Christie, that's okay. In this series, Finley still showed confidence when playing against Christie.

Finley dribbled with his back, leaned against Christie a few times, and then took advantage of the moment Christie's center of gravity fell back, and made a fallback jumper.

Christie's hand has been blocked, giving Finley a great interference, but the goal is still scored.

It's outrageous!
Christie wants to continue swearing, is there such a vote?
How many years have not encountered such a thing.

Except for Kobe's stubbornness, it had been a long time since I had been pulled out to stand up and beat him up.

Next time, next time, I must make Finley look good, and I must never let him get points on my head again.

Came to the Kings offensive round, Adelman suddenly shouted "Bruce" from the sidelines.

The Kings players heard the name of this special tactic and quickly started running. Divac pulled up to the high post to prepare for a pick-and-roll with Bibby who was holding the ball, while Webb was lying in wait on the baseline, ready to go up at any time.

At the bottom corners on both sides stood Lu Yuanzhi and Christie.

Yes, this "Bruce" tactic, the full name is "Bruce Lee" (Bruce Lee) tactic, it is the offensive tactic arranged by Adelman after Lu Yuanzhi defeated Malone with a knee.

Only now, it is Divac who is on the high pick-and-roll, and Lu Yuanzhi plays the role of Stojakovic.

Old Nelson looked at the familiar tactics and felt confused.

Even if you play "response ball", do you even have to respond to tactics?
