start with scouting

Chapter 635

Su Yang looked mysterious,
It seemed that the magnetic link of the hottest movie was about to be released, and the generals of the king immediately raised their eyes and ears, ready to listen carefully.

"Judging from the shooting data in the first quarter, we took 7 three-pointers and only made 1, while the Jazz took 13 3-pointers and only made [-]. Of course, our shooting rate at the basket was also dismal, but it was difficult for us to shoot. They scored three points because they chased too closely, and the Jazz couldn't hit three points, mainly because they couldn't break through our defense line. We can't change it for a while..."

"CIC, you have to say CIC!" Cousins ​​interrupted eagerly, as if he was very excited because he had seen through Su Yang's arrangement in advance.

Su Yang didn't blame Cousins ​​for stealing the words, and it happened that he could spend less time explaining, so he nodded immediately to indicate that it was true.

Several people in Curry immediately showed relief.

"The Jazz are very tight on the upper line because they have Gobert protecting the frame inside. When it is difficult for us to open the situation with three points, we can try to use the mid-range shot to break the game. Their defensive system rotates quickly, but it is difficult for the mid-range shot. delay..."

In the first few attacks of the Kings, they actually used the screen to complete the breakthrough. Unfortunately, the Jazz players squeezed through the screen very quickly. Even if they did not squeeze through the screen, other Jazz players quickly made up for it. The real space and time left for the Kings players to operate is the moment when they break through to the middle distance, but the middle distance is considered a difficult shot.

In the last two seasons, the Kings have unconsciously reduced their mid-range shots, mainly due to the higher efficiency of three-pointers and attacking the basket.

The same goes for other teams. Everyone talks about the magic ball pit, but many teams are engaging in magic ball intentionally or unintentionally, which is the general trend.

"In order to better shoot mid-range shots, we need to adopt some relatively old tactics, such as the basic floppy, as well as the triangle offense connecting echelon screens, and the slice series. In short, wait for the game later and be decisive when opportunities arise..."

In the Kings lineup, there are quite a lot of players who can make mid-range shots. Even if the difficulty is high and the efficiency is low, they can be pulled out to try.

Of course, the difficulty is directly proportional to the benefit.

How many times at critical moments in the playoffs, the way a team wins is not a three-pointer or a layup, but a mid-range shot.

Between the words, the whistle of the pause between the sections was played.

Su Yang simultaneously arranged for Brogdon, LaVine, George, Covington, and Thompson to play in the second quarter.

The overall height is quite wow.

The Jazz also adjusted the lineup. The five players on the field are Shelvin Mark, Hood, Hayward, Jeff Vichy, and Joe Johnson. The overall defensive conditions are relatively poor. When to replace.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the game continued.

The referee blew his whistle to signal that the Kings kicked off from the backcourt to attack from the bottom line. Brogdon took the ball all the way across the center line and handed it to George.

Covington then arrived to cover and set up a human wall to block Hayward. George immediately broke through on the left and killed to the left waist area in a blink of an eye. Emergency stop to take off, lean back and make a mid-range shot.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The horn formation starts, transfers to Vichy's left elbow to support, then picks up Joe Johnson's 45-degree pick-and-roll on the left, and finally passes to Vichy to dismantle the down screen and Shelvin Mark's back screen, and then goes up to the right 45-degree three Hood at the point line, grab a three-pointer.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

LaVine picked up the rebound, Brogdon took the ball and advanced, and George took over from the center line. With the help of Covington's early back screen at the LOGO position, he quickly rushed to the left elbow and faced Jeff Vichy's paint area. , An emergency stop to take off and a mid-range shot.

The basketball hits the net hollow again.

No way, the Jazz's mid-range area is a bit empty.

Su Yang stood up and clapped his hands, thinking that George's two mid-range shots opened up the situation for the king, and the Jazz would not last long.

In a blink of an eye, the Jazz counterattacked.

Snyder was obviously a little flustered, gestured again and again, followed all the way from the bench to the center line, and was almost called a technical foul.

The Jazz on the court started with a double screen at the top of the arc. Shelvin Mark hit the right elbow area. Facing Covington's defense, he didn't dare to shoot. Nai He's choice was too sudden, and the angle was too awkward.

The basketball rolled straight off the baseline.

The referee blew his whistle and whistled for a penalty error.

The king got the ball and counterattacked. Seeing that the situation was not good, the DJ shouted loudly to cheer up, and more than 7000 people followed in unison.

George pushed the ball directly from the backcourt, found cover after crossing the center line, and broke through from the left again. Seeing that Jazz center Vichy chose to press out, he skillfully changed the direction of the snake and changed to the right to break through, just like Kobe played against the Suns. The free throw line on the left, moved across to the free throw line on the right, ignoring the potential help defense in the short corner, and also ignoring Hayward's pursuit.

bass!Hollow into the net.

George hit a 6-0 attack wave in three consecutive games.

"Hiss..." Snyder sucked in a small breath of cold air uncontrollably, and quickly stabilized his state without asking for a timeout.

The Jazz hastily launched a counterattack.

It may be a single challenge technique. Joe Johnson did not continue to pass the ball after receiving the ball. Instead, he found Vichy's cover and tried to initiate a breakthrough. However, his explosive power was far from before. , the bottom corner of the ball.

Hood received the ball, knowing that the tactics were dead, he kicked off the ground decisively, and shot a three-pointer against LaVine's block, hitting the iron with a bang.

Covington grabbed the rebound and the King launched a fast break counterattack. George held the ball at the LOGO position and tried to use the cover to break through. He successfully attracted most of the Jazz's defensive attention, and suddenly passed the ball to Larry, who came out of the floppy screen. Wen, while Hood and Shelvin Mark lost communication in the panic, and double-teamed at the same time, invisibly missing Brogdon.

LaVine immediately turned around and hit the ground to pass the ball. Brogdon caught the ball and stepped forward, ignoring Shelvin Mark's flying pounce, and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 9 to 0!

drop!The referee whistled and the Jazz requested a timeout.

In the TNT live broadcast, the host Kevin Harlan was full of question marks: "Why does it seem like you suddenly changed to another team?"

Guest Reggie Miller said with a smile: "The King uses a lot of mid-range tactics, and the Jazz's defensive focus is still on pressing the three-point line and protecting the frame. It happened that George was hot, and the situation changed quickly. To be honest, the Jazz has no way to limit the center Shooting, they don't have super help defense players like Giannis and Covington, they can only rely on super execution and fast rotation...

That's not their fault, they've done a very good job, it's just that the king is like alien technology compared to them. "

During the conversation, the on-court competition continued.

On the Jazz's side, Snyder quickly replaced Joe Johnson with Diaw and Jeff Vichy with Gobert, a little scared.

But Shelvin Mark was still a defensive weakness, and Su Yang directly instructed the whole team to try to break through from there.

Antetokounmpo also appeared on the stage, replacing Jason Thompson, who was slow and of average cover quality, with five small lineups.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the Jazz launched an attack.

Pretending to start with a triangle tactic, but in fact he made a feint and changed to a pick-and-roll breakthrough at the top of the arc, but Shelvin Mark rushed to the waist and faced the fierce Antetokounmpo. Down Gobert.

The basketball was passed to Dior in the bottom corner, but Dior didn't have the ability to hold the ball and make a strong breakthrough, and Gobert went up to pick and roll again.

After some cooperation, Gobert disassembled and went down. Relying on his height advantage, he forcibly caught Dio Dio's sling pass. Break the scoring drought.

Su Yang curled his lips slightly, and didn't care about it in his heart, but this attack took 20 seconds and almost made a mistake, which was extremely inefficient.

But even then, he still shouted at Brother Antetokounmpo: "You can foul next time, send him to the free throw line..." Gobert's free throw percentage is less than 70%, which can be used as a means to reduce the Jazz's scoring efficiency. Big kills are needed.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

The Kings put up a single double position in the frontcourt. LaVine pretended to use Antetokounmpo to cover, and pretended to rush to the left bottom corner. He pretended to do a cross-cut screen for Iverson for George, but actually stopped and turned around and ran back, and then used Antetokounmpo to cover. , around to the right elbow to catch the ball.

Brogdon raised his hand and passed, LaVine caught the ball and shot, completely ignoring Dior to switch defenses and fly, and the basketball hit the circle and hit the net.

The entire attack took 10 seconds and was crisp.

Mainly Shelvin Marks couldn't keep up with LaVine's rhythm.

Snyder frowned, taking advantage of the ball to be replaced again, Ingles came on the field to replace Shelvin Mark, allowing the Jazz to control the ball instead of Hayward, and cooperated with Dior, clearly to speed up the Jazz's basketball pass , to avoid too much entanglement with the king.

Too bad it's useless.

The Jazz didn't have a master defensive player, and couldn't defend against the King's mid-range. Su Yang didn't let Curry appear on the court for a long time, and he was crushed.

Halftime was over in an instant.

The Kings lead the Jazz 55 to 33.

Discussions on social networks erupted, and those fans who were lucky before felt that the end was coming: the king can't be guarded!
Back from the halftime break, in the third quarter of the game, the Jazz relied on their home court advantage to greatly increase their defensive strength and did not hesitate to foul.

Unfortunately, it was of no use. The Kings won another 6 points in the third quarter and entered the fourth quarter with a 28-point lead.

The game turned into garbage time, Snyder did not continue to send the main force, and Su Yang did the same, choosing to let the substitute train.

When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed as the Kings defeated the Jazz 105 to 74, winning 11 consecutive victories.

George scored 26 points, 14 of which came from CIC. Kobe liked it and retweeted the king's official tweet to praise him. He also promised that the next episode of "detail" would analyze the advantages and disadvantages of George's CIC and directly make George happy. To jump JOJO.

After finishing the press conference, the whole team flew to Minnesota overnight, rested overnight to challenge the Timberwolves, and won by 15 points.

The Kings flew back to Saskatchewan and got a day off to prepare for the Golden State Warriors, a potential Western Conference Finals opponent.
