super small forward

Chapter 510 510. Deadlock
Although the 76ers' bench lineup is not well-known, and there are not many people paying attention to it, if it is not for the arrival of Isaiah Thomas, many of them may disappear in the NBA after two years of playing. up.However, their offense and defense were really good, and they did not fall behind in the competition with the Lakers for the bench.

Sometimes a team has a superstar player, and the changes brought about are earth-shaking.

Just like which team James goes to, the people on that team are very confident, even at the end of the bench.

Just like Thackeray of the Lakers, seeing Duncan and Howard dare to fight one by one, my whole heart grew bigger.

Just to be stubborn, anyway, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes. At the end of the first quarter, the second team that the Lakers are proud of did not take much advantage, and the score was tied at 29!
"Switch Liu to solve the game?" D'Antoni came up with this idea, and then immediately vetoed it himself.

D'Antoni did not choose to substitute, but continued to play with a lineup of Jeremy Lin, McCollum, Nick Young, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers attacked first. Nick Young tried his hand and failed to make a shot. Henry Sims showed excellent rebounding ability and caught Whiteside and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The 76ers attacked, the big Chris Johnson pulled out to shoot a three-pointer, but missed, this time Whiteside didn't miss, blocked Henry Sims with an arm and got the rebound.

Jeremy Lin advanced, McCollum and Nick Young opened up the space, Whiteside was stuck at the basket, and Antetokounmpo went up to cover Jeremy Lin.

For defending against Whiteside, Henry Sims chose to defend around the front. Except for the power forwards, the 76ers' lineup is short. Once Whiteside gets the ball under the basket, they have nothing to do.

Jeremy Lin used Antetokounmpo's pick-and-roll to cut into the inside. Antetokounmpo ran back from the other side. Antetokounmpo's counter-run was really scary. The height of the center and the speed of the point guard, both defensive players were led After leaving, Jeremy Lin rushed into the three-second zone, Henry Sims had to defend, and Jeremy Lin immediately passed to Whiteside.

The 76ers' short lineup also has an advantage, that is, it shrinks quickly. The two players chasing Antetokounmpo and Henry Sims plunged into the inside to block Whiteside.

At this time, the benefits of the 76ers' small lineup are reflected. The 76ers' lineup is short and relatively fast. Defense is a matter of attitude. They are now very focused on defense and rotate defense quickly. Whiteside As soon as Germany was double-teamed, Jeremy Lin passed out, and the 76ers switched defenses. Jeremy Lin passed to McCollum, and Immel Smith, who had just shrunk into the inside line, rushed over again.

This back and forth, the 24-second attack time was about to come, and McCollum had to choose to make a sudden stop and jump shot.

The shot was a bit hasty and out of rhythm, and McCollum didn't make a mid-range shot.

When Whiteside is at the opponent's basket, it is really useless to face a desperate rebounder like Henry Sims. His physical fitness is not comparable, and Henry Sims will fight with his life!

Henry Sims can gain a firm foothold in the NBA, and even get a middle class, relying on this desperate style of play. Whiteside saw the look in Henry Sims's eyes and he just returned to the NBA last season. The look in the eyes is so similar!
Whiteside knew that this guy was fighting for his life, and it was not a wise choice to fight the opponent. He knew how important his role was in the Lakers, and he didn't want to fight the opponent for a few offensive rebounds.

The 76ers attack.

After the start of the second quarter, the scoring efficiency of the two sides declined. Immel Smith held the ball in a high position, and Henry Sims and Chris Johnson opened up the two big men. James hit a mid-range shot, and Chris Johnson used a three-pointer as the main offensive method. Antetokounmpo and Whiteside had to defend.

Mbah a Moute fell to the low post and asked for the ball to single Nick Young!
Mbah a Moute knocked Nick Young to pieces in twos and threes, and then pressed Nick Young to throw the ball into the basket with a hook.

D'Antoni felt that something was wrong, and he glanced at Coach Brown, who was on the 76ers' bench with a calm expression as if he was ignoring the world, and appreciated Coach Brown's arrangement even more.

D'Antoni did not expect that this little-known coach would send four pitchers to open up the space and use a tough small forward to single out the biggest weakness of their second team-the small forward's defense!
The Lakers have three players who often play small forwards: Liu Ren, Nick Young, and Korver. The defense of the three is very different. Liu Ren's defense is the top perimeter in the NBA, while Nick Young and Korver are at the cash machine level. , the attitude is considered to be there this year, but it is useless.

And coach Brown, who was admired by D'Antoni, was thinking about what to eat for dinner at this moment... An expression of indifference to world affairs?Another word can also be used to describe sluggish...

Using Jeremy Lin to organize an attack... the impact is enough, but the deterrent power is indeed much smaller, not because of Jeremy Lin's lack of strength, but because of his past history.

When the Knicks played Lin Crazy, everyone thought that another superstar came out of the yellow race, and then when he arrived at the Rockets with a three-year 3 million contract in the second year, all opponents targeted him, and then found that he was actually a superstar. Just an ordinary starter, it doesn’t mean that his ability is not good, the main reason is that the psychological gap is too big, so that people don’t pay so much attention to him, and his offensive organization is greatly affected, just like he and Antetokounmpo’s pick-and-roll just now, Both men ran away with Antetokounmpo.

The Lakers understand this best, so Jeremy Lin and McCollum discussed it and decided to change the focus of the organization and let McCollum control the ball.

McCollum's organizational talent is definitely not as high as his scoring talent, but it is not bad in fact. He averaged at least 2015 points and 2016 assists per game at the beginning of the 20-4 season.

McCollum's organization is very different from Jeremy Lin's. He doesn't rely on his breakthrough ability. His speed is not top-notch. The most important thing for him to get rid of the defense is his ball-handling skills!McCollum doesn't usually have many opportunities to get the ball. Except when he is required to play singles in the second team, he almost always plays off the ball, so not many fans have discovered his ball-handling skills, but he can often play one-on-one. It is very easy to use the change of direction to get rid of the opponent's defense.

McCollum singles Jason Richardson, Jason Richardson's lateral movement is average, especially now that he is a 14-year veteran, his lateral movement is more general, and McCollum's lateral movement is just right. Passed by McCollum like a stake.

McCollum entered the inside. Sure enough, the 76ers' defense was very different. In addition to Henry Raheem defending, Immel Smith, who was originally defending Jeremy Lin, also came in on the other side. McCollum passed the ball to Whitesey. Germany immediately came to defend him, Henry Sims and Jason Richardson went in to double-team Whiteside, Whiteside threw the ball to Jeremy Lin at the top arc, Mbah a Moute went to defend, Jeremy Lin passed Nick Young, Nick Young made a three-pointer!
Finally got in!

It was too difficult, it had been a long time since the start of the second quarter, and the Lakers finally scored their first goal.

But the 76ers only scored one goal.

32 to 31, the Lakers lead for the first time since the start.

"This rhythm is too slow!" D'Antoni couldn't think of a way to solve it. He couldn't increase the speed, and he was poor in command on the spot.

Seeing that coach Brown on the 76ers side was still indifferent, D'Antoni became even more impatient.
