Chapter 180 Five "Face Cover Defense" is Here

After seeing Yang Shuai passing the pick-and-roll and assisting Landry to make a mid-range shot, Adelman turned his head and looked at the old Nelson who had been sitting on the bench since the start of the game and never stood up. Thinking about how to suppress the Warriors on both offense and defense next (read the full text of Niangzi Jixiang).

The only consolation for Adelman is that although the Warriors' offense in this quarter is very open, the Rockets' offense will not be too bad. After one quarter, they were only 24 points behind the Warriors at 28:4.

"Andris, did you decide on your own defense in the first quarter?" Old Nelson asked seeing Biedrins sit down.

Biedrins shook his head, then raised his finger to point. Old Nelson followed his finger and saw Yang Shuai's smiling face.

Seeing that the coach's eyes were on him, Yang Shuai shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Coach, I think the Rockets may not let Andris easily go around to defend Yao, maybe Yao will mention the high position support, of course , I think they will strengthen the breakthrough and then create opportunities for Yao. If we can, I think we should double-team Yao."

The Warriors players looked at Yang Shuai who was talking in front of the old Nelson, and they were a little dazed. What did Yang sing, and he was talking to the coach about the next defensive tactics?

Yang Shuai's reading of the situation on the court also exceeded the old Nelson's expectations, but he didn't express any opinions on this point of view. He just turned his head and said to Hinrich: "Kirk, your advancing speed is too slow. Well, we played a good pick-and-roll in the first quarter, but what does that mean? We had almost no fast breaks in the first quarter! Run, push fast! Yang, don’t let the opponent stick to you, find an opportunity to make a quick shot.”

Both Hinrich and Yang Shuai nodded. Yang Shuai scored 4 points in the first quarter, relying on his high shooting percentage. In fact, he only took 3 shots in the first quarter. In the first quarter, he had relatively sufficient physical strength and played a lot of time, so he took about 4 to 5 shots in the first quarter (the latest chapter of Potao Longxiang).

On the away bench, Adelman is also making tactical arrangements for the next game. "Yao, when the opponent uses a pick-and-roll, you don't need to pull too far outside, pay attention to the breakthrough of the opponent's outside player. Chuck, you and Yao play together, and when the opponent hits the basket, stop him."

Both Yao Ming and Hayes nodded. Yao Ming likes this arrangement. He guards the inside to avoid running back and forth and also reduces fouls.As for Hayes, assist defense and make-up defense are his strengths. Although he can't be rewarded with big caps like those big men, he can use physical contact and fouls to prevent opponents from directly attacking the basket.

However, what Adelman didn't expect was that this lineup adjustment would facilitate the Warriors' defensive tactics, because just before the start of the second quarter, when the players came on the field, Nelson took away the tactical board, and then left a sentence, "Team double-teaming Yao!"

Yang Shuai is very happy that Old Nelson can adopt his own defensive strategy. He dare not talk about other things, but when it comes to defense, Yang Shuai has a lot of experience, which is not only reflected in his own defensive strength.When he first got the mysterious space, Xiaoqiang once made a transformation for him, and Yang Shuai had a lot of knowledge about offensive and defensive tactics in his mind.

I think when he and Rivers met for the first time, he brought these things out angrily, but Rivers was taken aback. It is no exaggeration to say that if Yang Shuai digested these things well, he would not be a head coach. Dare to say, there is nothing wrong with being an assistant coach.

And because the Celtics attached great importance to defense last season, Yang Shuai often pondered these things when he was free, so he really knows the defensive tactical system very well.

In the second quarter, Yang Shuai still sits off the court to rest. At the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, Yang Shuai usually sits and rests off the court. His physical strength is indeed difficult to support him to stay on the court for two consecutive quarters. If If this is the case, there may be physical exhaustion in the second half, especially the last quarter.

The lineup of the Warriors was Biedrins, Wright, Jackson, Morrow, and CJ-Watson. For the Rockets, Yao Ming, who took a break in the middle of the first quarter and didn't play until the last minute, stayed on the court. The power forward is Hayes, the small forward is replaced by Van Wever, and two point guards are arranged on the back line. The starting point guards Ralph Alston and Aaron Brooks are on the field at the same time. download).

The Rockets' attack, the ball was quickly handed over to Yao Ming. Originally, Adelman had arranged how to break through the front. Seeing that Biedrins did not go around the front at this time, Alstom immediately passed the ball.

But as soon as Yao Ming received the ball, he found himself double-teamed, Biedrins was behind him, and Jackson kept waving in front, trying to take the ball away from his hands.

Yao Ming raised the ball high and threw it towards Van Weaver. Jackson quickly moved away from Yao Ming. Yao Ming raised his hand again to signal his teammates to pass the ball, but Weaver did not pass the ball back, but faked it. Dribble the ball towards the basket and kill.

Seeing this, Yang Shuai frowned inadvertently, and his eyes fell on another teammate, Brandon Wright.When the old Nelson said he wanted to double-team Yao Ming, he immediately reminded that if the opponent Hayes, Wright could step forward to double-team.At that time, the old Nelson did not speak, obviously acquiescing, but now Wright did not participate in the double-team, and Jackson's double-team immediately gave Van Wever a chance.Although Wright then returned to the inside to help defend, but Weaver still hit a layup.

CJ Watson, who had been under Nelson for a year, was more familiar with running and bombing tactics, so his advancing speed was indeed much faster than Hinrich's, and Yao Ming couldn't keep up at this time.But Biedrins didn't get an offensive opportunity either. He rushed to the basket along the middle and received a pass from Jackson, but was stopped by Hayes.

The ill-prepared Biedrins stopped, and at this time Yao Ming had already retreated and stuck to Wright's side. The Warriors missed the fast break opportunity and the ball came into Morrow's hands.

It was Brooks who was defending Morrow, but this little black bean's defense was really not that good. Morrow tricked him with a fake move pretending to break through, and at this time Morrow had already set up a shot from the outside.

"Hey..." Old Nelson didn't have any dissatisfaction when he saw Mo Luo take off and shoot. He was in favor of this approach, while Yang Shuai laughed out loud, wondering if Mo Luo would have another convulsion today.

"Huh (I met a beautiful girl on the bus, I'm so sad to read the full text)!" Anthony Morrow did not disappoint Yang Shuai, and hit a three-pointer with nothing!

"Anthony, good shot!" Yang Shuai stood up from his seat and yelled towards the field. Hearing Yang Shuai's shout, Mo Luo didn't look over, but quickly backed away.

Although he retreated quickly, Anthony Morrow's defense was obviously incomparable with his three-pointers.Brooks seemed quite excited when Morrow hit a three-pointer over his head. He took the serve from the baseline and rushed to the frontcourt quickly. Yao Ming was still preparing to get the ball inside. Outside the line chose to shoot.

"Shua!" The same hit.

Morrow bulged his eyes, and quickly ran towards the other half. While running, he asked for the ball from CJ-Watson. Seeing his teammates running ahead, Watson really pushed the ball past.

After receiving the ball and taking off, Morrow doesn't care whether his teammates are in position at this time. After receiving the pass from his teammates, he just comes outside the three-point line and starts shooting.Warriors fans are obviously used to this style of play, and the Warriors have been doing this for several years.

"Bang!" But this time, Morrow missed and the ball bounced off the basket.

"Yeah!" But at this moment, Yang Shuai jumped up from his seat, not only him, but all the Warriors fans were doing the same thing.

Seeing that the basketball bounced out, Weaver, who retreated faster, was about to take off the backboard. Suddenly, a figure flew out from behind, and a strong wind blew by. The next moment, the ball disappeared, and the sound of "touch" came from the basket .

"Bedrins, he grabbed the offensive rebound and made a dunk!"

"Andris... Biedrins!" DJ shouted Biedrins' name loudly, and at this time, Yao Ming had just run beyond the three-point line.

Adelman's choice to replace Yao Ming at this time was definitely a mistake, not because the Warriors accelerated the speed of advancement, but because Brooks existed.

Anthony Morrow and Brooks had fun shooting. They kept shooting from beyond the three-point line, while Yao Ming was more like practicing back and forth running on the field. Finally, after playing for 4 minutes in the second quarter, Adelman wanted to change He replaced Brooks, who scored 5 points but had no idea what the rhythm was, and then replaced Battier and Tracy McGrady.

Yang Shuai was also replaced by Nelson at this time, replacing Jackson, Hinrich, Anthony Randolph and Landry played together with him, and Wright, who had been performing so-so during this period of time, was replaced.

Thanks to Morrow's two three-pointers, the point difference was not approached by the Rockets. At 31:36, the Warriors still led by 5 points.

After Alstom took possession of the ball, the Rockets slowed down immediately, and Yao Ming finally succeeded in getting a position inside. Randolph and Yao Ming's bodies were not at the same level at all, and Yao Ming stuck him behind as soon as he exerted his strength.After receiving the pass from Alstom, Yao Ming turned around and made a jumper before the Warriors double-teamed.And Randolph, affected by Yao Ming's back before turning around, didn't even have a chance to take off.

The scoring point for the Warriors was Yang Shuai at this time, so Battier was very tight. Yang Shuai did not take the initiative to catch the ball, but watched Hinrich and Randolph pick and roll from outside the three-point line.

Hinrich found a chance to break through, Yang Shuai also started running, from the three-point line to the inside, Yang Shuai and Hinrich rushed to the basket side by side.However, when approaching the three-second zone, Yang Shuai suddenly ran sideways, rushed past Yao Ming, and came right behind Hinrich.

Hinrich seemed to be prepared long ago, leaning half on Yao Ming's body, flicking his wrist to send the ball to Yang Shuai's hands.

It was already impossible for Yao Ming to react and interfere with Yang Shuai at this time, and Alston was too late. Of course Yang Shuai took off without hesitation, but just as he was about to make a move, a palm appeared in front of his eyes. The palm of the hand was almost attached to his nose, and the fingertips were just pointing to the position of Yintang.

A natural reaction, Yang Shuai frowned lightly inadvertently, and he quickly understood who the person in front of him was. In the NBA, there is only one person who is so proficient in face-covering defense, Sean Batty you!
