Basketball Myth: Super Guard

Chapter 752 The Knicks' Problem

Coming to the frontcourt, Billups quickly greeted him and jumped directly to the three-point line, because everyone knew that Qin Hao was accurate on three-pointers, and he might have shot directly if he defended too far.

Qin Hao stopped and took a look at the situation on the field: "In addition to Billups, Fields is also staring at my side, and it seems that he is ready to come up to help defend at any time."

This is to be expected.

With the level of coach D'Antoni, it is impossible not to deploy targeted tactics, because obviously the strongest point of the 76ers is Qin Hao.

If you just let Billups defend a little bit forward and limit Qin Hao's three-point shots, then with Qin Hao's speed, it will be easy to pass Billups.Therefore, coach D'Antoni emphasized that once he sees Qin Hao going to singles, he should immediately assist in defense. The purpose of assisting in defense is to limit Qin Hao's breakthrough.

Immediately, Qin Hao tried it out, and Fields immediately rushed over to help defend.

"Sure enough." Qin Hao chuckled, and immediately passed the ball to Iverson.

Iverson was very experienced, taking advantage of Fields to jump over to help defend Qin Hao, he took the ball without stopping, and immediately broke through, not to directly attack the frame, after all, there were still people inside the opponent.But this can further tear the Knicks' defense and destroy their defensive formation.

Although Iverson's deterrence is not as good as before, but with his excellent experience, he can still play a role on the court. After he took two steps forward, he split the ball and gave it to Nene.

Nene took the ball and swayed it, then slapped his hands forward, raising the center of gravity, knocking Jeffries away who couldn't take off, and made a layup.

2: 0.

"Well, that's how it is played." Coach Luke nodded secretly.

The Knicks attack.

Billups came to the frontcourt, first asked for a pick-and-roll, and tried to use the pick-and-roll to break through, but the effect was not good. Nene stepped forward and was delayed quickly. He is not the kind of slow-moving insider.

Seeing this, Billups made a gesture, gave the ball to Fields, and signaled his teammates to pull away, so that Fields singled out Iverson.

Iverson stepped forward, Fields took a tentative step, suddenly accelerated the breakthrough, Iverson retreated, Fields suddenly stopped for a jumper, and shot in front of Iverson.

Swish!
With a soft sound, the ball goes in.

"Hey." Coach Luke sighed inwardly. He was worried about this before. The Knicks were obviously prepared. Fields is 201 centimeters tall, nearly 20 centimeters taller than Iverson. Vitality, Iverson is a bit disadvantaged against him.

On the defensive end, Iverson is indeed a problem, but Coach Luke looks at the bench, somewhat helpless, Lu Wei probably is not much better.

Lu Wei is not tall, and his defense has always been a disadvantage.

"Pay attention to the defense." Coach Luke rushed to the field and shouted.

The 76ers counterattacked. After Qin Hao arrived in the frontcourt, he still encountered an assist defense and gave it to Iverson. This time Iverson did not pass the ball, but directly shot a jumper.

boom!
Too bad it still didn't make it in.

On the defensive end, Fields wanted to single Iverson again, but this time it was not so easy.

Fields himself is not a strong point in scoring, and he has an advantage in height, and once he encounters a help defense, he has only one option to pass the ball.

"Give it to me." Anthony ran back to ask for the ball, glanced at the basket, then made a three-threat, and tapped his right foot earlier.

Facing an All-Star player like Anthony, Brand was still a little apprehensive. What's more, Anthony was known as an "offensive kaleidoscope".

That is, this half step is enough for Anthony.

"Shh!"

With a soft sound, Anthony hit a jumper.

This is Anthony's specialty, the signature move, the pull-up jumper after the three-threat, it doesn't look complicated, but it's hard to prevent.Because if you don't retreat, he will break through immediately, but if you retreat, even if it is only half a step, it is enough for Anthony to make a move.

"With Brand's strength, it's hard to defend against Anthony." Qin Hao shook his head, glanced at Stoudemire not far away, then took the ball in the backcourt and started to attack.

In the next few rounds, Qin Hao didn't make a shot himself, but attracted the defense. The Knicks didn't dare to let Qin Hao go. As soon as they saw Qin Hao attacking with the ball, they immediately wanted to help defend.

But once they go up to help defend, there will be problems in defense.

It's just that Iverson's touch is still not very good. After all, he hasn't participated in an official game for a year, and his strength is no longer as good as before, but Nene and Brand performed well.

Nene had the absolute upper hand against Jeffries. When Qin Hao gave him the ball, Nene went straight to singles, a feint, and then broke through. The speed was not fast, but Jeffries couldn't stop it at all. He was directly knocked away by Nene, and could only watch Nene clasp his hands.

Coach D'Antoni frowned. It was an attempt for him to send Jeffries, and he wanted to try to change from "copycat running and bombing" to "positional warfare mode".

It's a pity that Jeffries' ability is limited, and it's embarrassing to use.

"Hey, if I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have traded Felton away." Coach D'Antoni smiled wryly, regretting that he didn't ask the team management to keep Felton.

Before the arrival of Anthony, the Knicks were "running and bombing". Felton and Stoudemire cooperated. Felton is naturally not comparable to Nash, but he is very good at feeding Stoudemire, at least making Stoudemire play very well. .After all, Stoudemire played "running and gunning" in the Suns, and he likes this kind of game rhythm.

But Anthony and Billups are more used to playing positional warfare.

In positional battles, Anthony can play singles with the ball in the high position or on the wing, his three threats can be extremely lethal, and his skills can be released.

Therefore, Anthony + Billups is not compatible with Stoudemire. While he is used to playing positional warfare, he likes to run and bomb, and Billups will not feed the ball to Stoudemire like Felton.

Anthony and Billups will not adapt to running and bombing; Stoudemire will not adapt to attacking in positions, which makes it difficult for the Knicks' Big3 to produce a chemical reaction.

Coach D'Antoni's idea is to try to reconcile the two sides and combine "positional offense" and "running and bombing", but it turns out that the Knicks can't do it.

"Request a replacement."

Coach D'Antoni requested a substitution, replacing Jeffries with Sean Williams.

Sean Williams is 206 cm tall and is a forward. After he was put on the Knicks, the Knicks dropped in height. They tried to play offensively for a while, but the effect was not good. behind the 76ers.

So I had to change it, lower the altitude, increase the speed, and try "running and bombing" instead.

"Play 'running and bombing' instead, then the two-point threat of Anthony and Billups will be discounted." Seeing the Knicks' substitution, Qin Hao couldn't help laughing, "Sacrificing Anthony and Billups Lupus, to become Stoudemire, this is not a good choice."
