Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 373
Obviously knowing that there are at least two teammates open, but what kind of experience is it if you just can't pass the ball?Jennings could only watch as he was forced to make a mistake by the three Hornets' strong men and fell to the ground.

This scene, in the eyes of the audience, was just a mistake by Jennings, and they couldn't see how subtle the Hornets' defensive system was.

Even, when the Bucks took the ball for the first time in this way, even the professional commentators and coaches on the sidelines did not react for a while.

But as the two parties came and went more frequently, the clues gradually appeared.

In the third quarter, the Hornets scored 24 points, while the Bucks only scored 4 points!
The huge point difference made everyone finally notice the Hornets' defense.

Today's special guest on TNT is "The Glove" Gary Payton.Watching the Hornets win the ball from the Bucks again through double-teaming, a flash of inspiration flashed in his eyes, showing a sudden realization expression.

"Oh I see!"

Seeing this, Smith asked: "Did you see anything, buddy?"

Gary Payton nodded, and said seriously: "To be honest, everyone feels the offense of this Hornets team, but what I want to say is that perhaps this season's Hornets team, their defense is their stronger place!"

"Oh?"

At this time, it was the Bucks' offense again.

Gary Payton began to explain.

"Let's pay attention to the Hornets' defensive strategy. First... it's outside defense. Let's look at their formation..."

"Beverley was stalking the Bucks point guard. The kid was very engaged defensively, and he was skilled enough to lock down opponents in one-on-one defense. In the time he was on the court, the same small player had no way to break through his defense and score."

"Looking at the positions of other players, the forwards are defending their previous offensive leader Salmons, and the others are also performing their duties, defending one-on-one in a reasonable position."

Smith nodded.

"So far, there is actually nothing surprising. The only surprising thing is that Beverly's personal defensive ability is not bad."

At this time, Jennings, who was entangled by Beverly, could only pass the ball. The basketball was passed back and forth in the middle, but there was no chance.

Gary Payton said: "Did you see that the key defensive area of ​​the Hornets is the center. Their people are concentrated in this area. The center and power forward, the company with an amazing defensive area and Danny Green who has a good sense of defense all make this area a position that cannot be attacked. But because the company, Danny Green and Ibaka have a large defensive area, so even though the focus is on the center, the two sides will still not lose their positions."

"Whether it's a breakthrough with the ball or running without the ball, the center is where the Bucks find it difficult to find opportunities."

Smith nodded: "That's right."

Gary Payton smiled slightly: "Then everyone pay attention to the essence of the Hornets' defense..."

"Because everyone in the Hornets has a very strong personal defensive ability, so they are not afraid of the opponent's singles. At this time, the Bucks can only create opportunities by initiating tactics and running positions..."

At this time, the basketball was handed over to Salmons who was on the bottom line.

Gary Payton's eyes lit up: "When the Bucks enter this position, it is the baseline position. The Hornets' center and wing players, at least three, will quickly step forward to double-team!"

Sure enough, Salmons had no time to attack or pass the ball. Everyone in the Hornets swarmed up and cut off the retreat.

After listening to Gary Payton's analysis, Smith also understood the Hornets' defensive strategy.

At this time, Salmons, who was double-teamed, couldn't even find a teammate to respond, so he could only make a hasty shot, and the basketball flew directly.

Smith shook his head: "But I don't understand one thing."

"Ah."

"That is, the defensive strategy of the Hornets does not seem to be too complicated. Why is it so easy to succeed?"

Gary Payton thought for a while and said, "I know, you want to say, why haven't other teams used a defensive strategy that doesn't seem complicated?"

"Yes……"

"It's actually very simple...do you remember when Curry was on the court?"

"Ok?"

"When Curry was on the court, their defense wasn't as oppressive. But Beverley changed in one game."

"You mean Beverley changed the Hornets' defense?"

"Oh, of course not! Beverly's defensive ability is a little stronger than Curry, but it is very limited. However, the defense of the point guard is the key to their defensive system... I would like to call it, the defensive initiator."

"Defense initiator?"

"Yes. The reason why other teams can't replicate their defensive system is that all five of them have superb defensive abilities... and Lian Feng is even more exaggerated. This season, he can defend from one to five."

"The ultimate personal defensive ability allows them to drive their opponents to the corners of the bottom lines on both sides. This is inevitable for their opponents. They can't attack in the middle, and there is only a small area. Then they have to pass the ball through the bottom lines on both sides... just such a move, they fell into the trap of the Hornets."

"To sum up, everyone on the Hornets has a strong personal defensive ability, and the huge overlapping defensive area of ​​Lianfeng, Ibaka and Danny Green is the basis of this defensive system, but it really depends on the outside defender to push the opponent into his own defensive system."

"Curry still needs to attack, and Beverley is completely defensive, which allows him to complete the last link of the defensive system."

After hearing this, Smith admired from the bottom of his heart: "Unbelievable. But...Beverly's defense seems to be too exhausting. He has been running throughout the game, and he can't last long."

Gary Payton was silent for a while, then nodded.Apparently, he thought so too.

The Bucks also think so.

Jennings, who was about to collapse by the Hornets' defense, finally understood the meaning of Lian Feng's words.

Occasionally took the opportunity to pass the ball in a double-team, not without exception, but most of the time, as soon as the ball enters the baseline, it is very dangerous.

In this game, except for the 6 points he scored at the beginning, he had no achievements.

It's just... Jennings looked at the panting Beverly.The third quarter is coming to an end, that guy has consumed a lot of energy, I don't believe you can hold on to this defense for a long time!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hornets replaced Holiday to defend him.

Jennings felt a little relieved, the difficult hyena finally went down, Holiday should not be so disgusting.

At this moment, Jennings had completely lost his temper. As soon as he got the ball, he heard Holiday say with a smile, "I've got bad news for you. My defensive ability is better than Beverly's."

Jennings was slightly taken aback, and then Holiday posted it up, starting a new round of inhuman torture.
