Pick Westbrook

Chapter 161 1! 2! 3!

The Bucks continued to attack.

Yi Jianlian still pinned boxing champion Tyson Chandler out of the paint area. Curry ran without the ball to attract the defense. Outside the three-point line.

The two insiders of the Bobcats were all pinned to the three-point line!
Rasheed Wallace asked for the ball in the low post, played back singles, and forced the chubby Raymond Felton to score again.

Kenny Smith smiled and said: "This is the Bucks' offense. Even if the Bobcats limit the Bucks' high pick-and-roll tactics and three-point offense, they can also have other ways to score the ball efficiently."

巴克利看向拉希德华莱士这节比赛的数据，7投5中已经拿下了10分3篮板1盖帽，还是两队球员中得分最高的那一个。

In Barkley's view, no matter any league coach is facing the Bucks, they are sure that their first scorer is either Westbrook or Curry, followed by Yi Jianlian. It fell to veteran Rasheed Wallace.

It’s just that the Bucks are taking risks, knowing that the teams in the league will definitely strangle Westbrook, Curry, and Yi Jianlian in order to limit their offense, so Li Lai actually let these three play on the court. Be a pinch point and allow the rest of the Bucks to complete the offense.

Such a tactical arrangement has to remind Barkley of the head coach who is best at creating offensive space with superstars in the league, and that head coach is also a disciple of coach Larry Brown in front of him.

"The Bucks, what kind of offensive tactics are they playing?"

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks took the lead with 30:22.

Coach Larry Brown’s eyes are sharp off the court, and he can also see that the Bucks’ offensive system has the shadow of the Spurs. Of course, the offensive system created by Popovich himself is not much different from Larry Brown. relation.

It's just that Larry Brown knows the apprentice who was born in the Air Force and was a captain and a spy very well. His offensive tactics are unpretentious but very efficient and useful. It is also difficult for players with extremely high golf quotients to figure out their tactics when they first entered the Spurs system.

Such an offensive system is difficult for players to understand even when playing on the court, let alone copied by others, so Larry Brown became more and more curious about the Bucks' offensive system.

"They've played very well offensively."

The game continued in the second quarter.

Bucks bench lineup: Dragic, Iverson, George Hill, Villanueva and O'Neal.

Bobcats bench lineup: point guard DJ-Augustine, shooting guard Larry Hughes, small forward Gerald Wallace, power forward Tyrus Thomas and center Nazr Mohamed.

"The Bobcats haven't had a bad bench."

Marshall opened up the data of the above substitute players in the regular season and said.

Larry Hughes has an excellent defense and was once the league's steal leader and defensive team player.

DJ-Augustin has three-point accuracy, can draw fouls, passes the ball well, and already has the level of a league starter.

Coupled with the defensive gatekeeper Nazr Mohammed who has studied in the Spurs system and Tyrus Thomas, the physical talent with balanced offense and defense, the Bobcats' bench lineup is not weaker than most teams in the league.

And at this time, Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace led the team on the court.

The Bucks attack.

Dragic held the ball for halftime, and Iverson did not take the initiative to hit Larry Hughes hard after receiving the ball. He was impressed by the opponent's defense.

O'Neal occupied a favorable position inside and raised his hand for the ball.

Iverson sent the ball to the ground steadily, and all the other Bucks players pulled away.

George Hill stood on the baseline on the same side as O'Neal, and Iverson stood at a 45° angle on the same side.

"It's an O'Neal one-up tactic."

It's just that Kenny Smith's voice just fell, George Hill immediately mentioned and made an off-ball screen for Iverson.

O'Neal turned his back inside and forced Nazr Mohamed at the same time.

Nazr Mohammed, who is 208cm tall, defended well and was not squeezed too much by O'Neill, but after O'Neill turned around, the height difference between the two was immediately reflected in the offense.

Nazr Mohamed can rely on defensive skills and physical talent to match O'Neal, but it is difficult to interfere with the opponent's basket hook or shot at this height.

This is an inherent gap in the body, which is unavoidable.

"Let O'Neill kill this position, which is very dangerous."

The Bobcats' defense did not disappoint the Bucks. At this time, Elvis Gerald Wallace decisively shrank the basket to help defend.

O'Neal in this period is no longer as destructive as the No. 1 in the league back then, so Gerald Wallace is confident that it will be difficult for O'Neal to hit the ball with his help.

But at the moment of double-teaming, O'Neal decisively passed the ball to Iverson at the top of the arc, and the latter caught the ball and took a step forward, choosing a mid-range shot.

Swish!
hit!

"This is the triangle offensive tactic!"

Buckley murmured.

As early as when Iverson and George Hill were on the same side of O'Neal, Barkley had already guessed that the Bucks were going to play this tactic.

Use the inside center as the axis to attract the attention of defensive players on the same side. At the same time, Villanueva and Dragic are ambushing two pitchers on the other two sides. At this time, there is no room for passing the ball in the middle. O'Neal can choose to attack by himself or divide to the bottom corner. Ambush shooters, and Iverson at the top of the arc is a position that is prone to pick-and-roll opportunities. This is the most classic style of triangle offensive tactics.

"The triangle offense is hard to defend, especially with their passing lanes, which are rarely disruptive."

"The premise of this style of play is that there is a very strong singles scorer in the team. As long as the opponent does not double-team, the triangle offense will be self-defeating. If once double-teamed, then the team will be more successful. It will blossom, and at the same time, the data of that singles star will explode."

"It's a tactic created specifically for superstars."

Larry Brown, who knew the power of this tactic, quickly called a timeout.

At this time, the Bucks have Iverson and O'Neal on the court. If this is the starting player stage, it will be fine. The Bobcats are not afraid of the singles of these two aging stars. What kind of waves can retired stars afford.

But the terrible thing is that this time is exactly the stage of the bench, even if the Bobcats have a good bench lineup, it is difficult to play against these two.

O'Neal and Iverson's inside and outside singles skills and experience are difficult for the Bobcats to match.

If Larry Brown's guess is correct, after O'Neal finishes his singles, I am afraid that the next triangle offensive tactic designed for Iverson will come again.

So Larry Brown stopped the loss early and immediately took the corresponding defensive changes.

Bucks coaching bench.

Li Lai was a little surprised by the reaction of old coach Larry Brown. He called a timeout immediately after the first ball.

He knew that the opponent was a contemporary figure of Zen master Phil Jackson, and he was the one who destroyed the F4 Lakers team who watched the meteor shower together, so the opponent must know how to limit the triangle offensive tactics.

Tyronn Lue took out the tactical board, and Li Lai then designed temporary offensive tactics for Dragic and George Hill.

next round.

Dragic and O'Neal pick and roll outside, O'Neal goes down to the right, Dragic goes to the left, and the two break through the basket in two ways.

This was originally a good pick-and-roll alley-oop tactic, but because of O'Neal's old arms and legs, it became a two-man down-and-through breakthrough tactic.

The Bobcats had to double-team.

Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace jumped inside again. Coach Larry Brown continued to arrange him in this substitute lineup, which meant that he would become the last barrier of defense.

After all, he is the defensive second team this season!

George Hill has a wide open outside.

Swish!
Hit the three-pointer steadily!

"This is the Bucks' second three-pointer in this game!"

"It's not easy!"

"Can you imagine a team that is particularly good at shooting three-pointers like the Suns and Mavericks, what kind of experience is it like to shoot two three-pointers in halftime?"

The key is that both three-pointers were scored.

Larry Brown looked at the court. He has been strictly guarding against the Bucks' three-pointers. He originally thought that this would prevent most of the Bucks' offenses, but he didn't know that the Bucks were completely different from the Suns. team.

The Bucks can win the game without a three-pointer, but the Suns can't.

Halftime is over.

Relying on the great power of O'Neal, Dragic and George Hill, the Bucks continued to expand their lead.

62: 50.

Second half of the game.

Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace finally couldn't bear such a slow death. He already had a faint feeling that it was difficult to limit the Bucks' offense and win the game with defense alone, so he prepared to stage the ultimate Personal heroism, relying on personal ability to break the deadlock for the team.

Gerald - Wallace hit the basket consecutively.

He is smart enough to know to play pick-and-roll with Wu Sheng Stephen Jackson first, then switch to Curry's defense and then continue to enter the penalty area.

This is the second time Curry has been targeted in this game.

Artest and Rasheed Wallace did not return to the defense in time, and Curry was fouled consecutively.

At this time, Li Lai, who knew that this game would be difficult to open beyond the three-point line, unexpectedly replaced Curry.

Tyronn Lue also suggested from the side, "Although Curry didn't have many scoring opportunities in this game, his off-ball running and effective containment outside the three-point line gave us a lot of easy scoring opportunities."

Marshall has different suggestions from Tyronn Lue. He opened the booklet and gave another statistic, "Curry has committed 3 fouls in this game."

This is the second reason why Li Lai won Curry. In addition to Curry being easily targeted by the Bobcats on the court, his foul troubles also greatly affected his playing time.

It's just that Tyronn Lue and Marshall agreed surprisingly at this time when they saw Lee come to replace Curry and then bring up the players.

"Coach, even if Andre Ingram is replaced, don't want Danny Green!"

"He played almost only in garbage time this season, averaged 5 minutes per game, and averaged only 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist per game. He is the player with the worst data in the Bucks."

Moreover, this player is still a rookie and has not seen any big scenes. This is why Tyronn Lue and Marshall have the same opinion.

Li Lai ignored the suggestions of the two assistant coaches. He looked at Danny Green who was sitting on the bench and was rubbing his hands to warm up.

"Danny!"

Danny Green quickly stood up: "Yes, coach!"

Li Lai said, "Have you trained well this season?"

Danny Green didn't speak, but looked confidently at the assistant coach Marshall.

Marshall has a bitter face and is still extremely puzzled that Li Lai sent Danny Green to play in such an important playoff game.

"Coach, Danny Green has been training well this season. He has also followed your advice, strengthened his three-pointers and defense, and gained 5kg in weight."

"Physically, most shooting guards in the league should not fall behind, and some small forward players can also go up to the top."

Li Lai nodded in satisfaction, then stretched out his hand.

Danny Green gave Li Lai a high-five with excitement on his face, and then he ground his feet in front of the technical stage to get ready to play.

Li Lai suddenly shouted to Danny Green, who was about to play, and said: "This is the opportunity you deserve for your hard work throughout the season. Grab it and prove that you are worthy of staying on the stage."

The game continues.

Coach Larry Brown, who was already a little disheartened about this game, couldn't help frowning when he saw that the Bucks had sent a water dispenser player that they hadn't used all season. Hope was revived.

"Curry is a defensive hole, isn't this player?"

The assistant coach of the Bobcats quickly sent a piece of data to Larry Brown.

Danny Green, with a height of 198cm and a weight of 98kg, averaged 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist per game. He was a rookie in 2009 and the captain of the University of North Carolina team. He led the team to win the NCAA championship trophy.

Larry Brown looked at the 201cm tall Elvis Gerald Wallace on the court.

"This Bucks player can match Gerrard in height and weight."

The Bobcats attack.

The crazy Elvis Gerald Wallace once again took the ball and attacked the inside of the Bucks, this time after changing from Curry to another taller defender, Gerald Wallace The sergeant remained unafraid.

Hold the ball and break through.

Blocked, stop the ball.

Change the offensive method, low post, singles.

One library, two library
Danny Green leaned forward, always pushing against Gerald Wallace and not letting the opponent get closer to the inside penalty area. Every time the opponent turned his back on someone, Danny Green's skin would tremble.

Tyronn Lue and Marshall off the field were a little surprised to see such an offensive impact.

In the past, only Artest and Rasheed Wallace could do this in the Bucks.

"Danny Green's defensive posture is very smart. Although his defensive deterrence is not as exaggerated as Artest and Rashid, he is definitely a player who is as good at defense as the two."

Gerald Wallace, who failed to push in consecutive backs, could only choose a turnaround shot.

Duang!

Hard work!
"Good job!"

"Danny, great job!"

Rasheed Wallace and Artest repeatedly praised the defensive round just now. With that wave of defense just now, Danny Green has already won the trust of two of the three villains of the Bucks.

The Bucks attack.

Westbrook grabbed the rebound and took the ball down quickly.

The Bobcats have always attached great importance to the Bucks' fast-break counterattack, so when Westbrook was about to go down, the Bobcats had two people relying on Westbrook to make a close defense. jackson.

Bobcats three anti-counterattack!

"This defensive concentration can only be played under the guidance of coach Larry Brown."

Westbrook, who was blocked from the fast break, stopped, turned his head and saw Danny Green who was following up, and passed the ball steadily.

The players on the Bobcats team were all stunned. No one knew the details of this No. 4 rookie.

call!
Danny Green didn't show mercy and shot decisively.

"This is the first time a rookie player has played in the playoffs. With such courage, he dares to make a move on a stage of this level?"

Swish!
hit!

"It's so tough, this player!"

"awesome!"

"This three-pointer was a heart-stopping shot."

Danny Green was expressionless after scoring the goal. Even if it was a finals, he still dared to shoot this ball, because this is him Danny Green.

He also wants to say to the world at this time: "This ball, respect the past of the University of North Carolina."

Barkley shook his head repeatedly at the commentary stand. He just wanted to say that with the Bucks' team building style, is there any player on this team who can't shoot three-pointers?

So the Bobcats' defense made a big mistake at this time. They also underestimated this player named Danny Green, who played very well in both offense and defense.

"Li Lai is the coach, he really dares to employ people!"

With Danny Green playing, Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace was no longer able to get an easy scoring opportunity. After all, he is not a player of that level. The Bobcats want to rely on him to comeback and win the game. It's a little whimsical.

The Bucks finally won the game 110:95, a good start to the playoffs!

Fans at Bradley Arena erupted into a tsunami of cheers.

"The first match is won!"

Bucks locker room.

Li Lai stood among the players, raised his right hand, and all the players surrounded him.

"Guys, the first game was good, we played a game that belonged to the Bucks."

"Where's Danny?"

Danny Green raised his hand at the outermost edge of the crowd. Under Li Lai's signal, he squeezed past his teammates and came to the middle.

Li Lai only boasted that he said: "You played well, keep working hard."

Immediately afterwards, Tyronn Lue walked into the locker room with a large box in his arms. Under the curious eyes of all the players, Tyronn Lue opened the box.

It was a hollowed-out mold, and the vacancy on it happened to be a championship trophy.

Li Lai took out a glittering golden shard under everyone's gaze, and handed it to Danny Green.

The latter put the fragment into the mold with the cheers of all the Bucks players.

After finishing all this, Tyronn Lu hurriedly put away the box, and hugged it tightly in his arms.

Li Lai said: "This mold has 16 fragments in total. You should know what it looks like after being mosaic together."

"Every time I win a game, I will let the most important player in the game put the pieces in. I hope everyone can have this opportunity."

"I also hope we can see it fully mosaic."

"So Lu, this is the honor of our whole team, and it's up to you now."

Tyronn Lue nodded solemnly from the side, and decided to place it in the most prominent position in the locker room before each game, so that all players can see it.

Li Lai stretched out his hand again.

Westbrook, substitute Dragic, Iverson, Curry, George Hill, Andre Ingram, Metta World Peace, Danny Green, Charlie Villanueva, Rasheed Wallace, Austin Crohill, Yi Jianlian, O'Neill, Francisco Elson.

Everyone looked at the box that symbolized the highest glory, and raised their hands high above their heads.

"1! 2! 3!"

"Bucks! Championship!"
