Chapter 245 Old Hu's Way

Beep!Raptors coach Sam Mitchell called a timeout.

"Oh, the Raptors called a timeout. It seems that Coach Sam is very dissatisfied with his current performance on the court. What kind of tactical arrangements will he make? This is really..." The game finally had waves, of course It's a timeout at this time, and Smith is also trying to avoid a cold field, so he has to talk about the Raptors' tactics.However, his old partner habitually interrupted.

"Does it need to be said, of course it is necessary to take out the Raptors' starting lineup. In other words, that guy Sam really knows how to come up with such a strange formation. Why do I always feel that the Raptors play How weird is that?" Barkley, this guy, had an old-fashioned tone, as if he knew that Sam Mitchell very well.

Of course, they belong to the same era of players, almost the same era.Barkley's qualifications are much older than Sam's, and there seems to be nothing wrong with the tone of the boss to the younger brother.

After the game started again this time, as expected by Barkley, the Raptors replaced all the starters, and the Knicks also wanted to join them. However, this time the small forward was replaced by Channing Frye. .

To be honest, Lao Hu really doesn't know whether Thomas' change can play any role.Even if Frye comes up, will the problem be solved?You know, Bosh is not so easy to defend, and Frye really has a lot of gaps.

Therefore, you can't pin all your hopes on Frye, that would be really unfair to him.

"Let's do it according to the way you think of!" Lao Hu had already thought of a countermeasure before, but he didn't have time to implement it. This time, he just tried it.

"Nate, if Bosh catches the ball near you, you go to the defense boldly, don't be afraid of missing someone. If you see me defending, you don't move, just watch your own people, unless someone else When the leak is too big, you can rush over." Lao Hu immediately told Nate his 'method'.

"what?"

Hu Lin's statement is very different from the Knicks' current man-to-man defense, at least that's how Nate Robinson understands it.

"Listen to me and try. If it doesn't work, let's study it." It was meant to be tried.

"OK, Boss, I'll definitely listen to you!" Nate had already worshiped Hu Lin as the boss.

"Ha ha……"

Before the two of them finished talking, the Raptors attacked over there.

It's still the same lineup, the same style of play, and in terms of offensive organization, it's still in the frontcourt, and it's handed over to Chris Bosh, who will distribute the ball. Both TJ Ford and Maurice Peterson stretched out on the far end, creating space for post players like Bosh.

However, this time the Knicks responded a little differently.

As soon as Bosh catches the ball, Frye will naturally stick it over. Then Bosh and Humphries seek cooperation. They still want to play the game of the four tall men.

Everything was normal and the cooperation went smoothly, but when Bosh was about to dribble past others, he found that the basketball under his control suddenly disappeared!

Steal the ball!

It was Lao Hu who stretched out this evil hand!At this time, this guy was already on his way to the Raptors' half court, and within a few seconds, Lao Hu made a layup and scored two points.

"Shhhhhh..." Seeing that the opponent is about to catch up with the score, the Canadians will certainly not be happy. They erupted with a huge booing, hoping to use this booing to shock the Chinese to play abnormally again. .

30 to 32, the Knicks are only two points behind.

"Careless! The ball just now was really careless!" Bosh blamed himself, and the other teammates had some reminders, but there was not enough time, Hu Lin shot too fast, and it seemed that this guy came to that place early. area.

Be careful this time, you must not let your opponent steal the ball so easily!
With this idea in mind, Bosh and his Raptors teammates started the previous cooperation again, and the basketball came to Bosh's hands again!
It's still the pick-and-roll, and it's still Bosh who is ready to break through.

However, this time, Bosh was more careful. Instead of dribbling the ball, he looked up to see if someone was going to steal the ball!

Sure enough, the Knicks' No. 8 was still standing in the way, and that guy was still preparing to steal the ball as before.

This time, although he had already made some mental preparations, Bosh was still a little flustered.After all, he has never played a point forward before, and when he pulls to the outside line, he either shoots directly or does a screen pick-and-roll or something.Bosh's skills are very good, but it's really difficult for him to play like a point guard, especially in front of the opponent's point guard.

Therefore, Bosh immediately stopped the basketball, held the ball high with both hands, and made a pass!

Of course, it is necessary to choose to pass the ball. Since the opponent's No. 8 has come over, there must be some players on the Raptors who are now unguarded.

So, Bosh began to observe, and soon he saw Peterson.

However, when the ball was passed to Peterson, Hu Lin was also in place.

That's right, it's in place, not because of how fast Hu Lin is, or because Bosh's passing needs to be observed, or because he is not a point guard yet!

In the NBA arena, it can be said that it is changing rapidly.As far as this ball is concerned, Bosh and the others originally cooperated with each other not far from the pair of Hulin and Peterson.Before the cooperation began, Peterson retreated to distance himself, but Lao Hu was unmoved, he didn't move much at all.When the cooperation started, Lao Hu went over to steal the ball again.

And when Bosh found Lao Hu, he needed time to hold the ball firmly, and then observed the position of his teammates.There was no way to do this, his speed was already very fast, at most it took about 1 second, but this 1 second was enough for Lao Hu to return to his original position.

After this pass, the players on the Raptors immediately realized that everything they had done just now had returned to the original point. All the previous cooperation was in vain. Passing and running positions had no effect at all.

The basketball returned to the perimeter, but the Raptors had no time to organize another attack, and the 24-second clock was about to return to zero.

There was no choice but to force the shot. After receiving the pass from Peterson, TJ Ford immediately forced a three-pointer, and the result can be imagined.

Bang!Missed, and the rebound was received by Curry.

In fact, the rebound after the shot exposed the problem of the Raptors' tactics.That is, no one is coming to rebound the ball.

Because, at this time, Bosh and the others are still in the middle distance, and the 'Dragon King' is still waiting for the ball, because this is how the tactics are arranged, although the time is a little less.Therefore, it was not until after the shot was taken that the Raptors' Bosh and Humphries thought of looking for a rebound, but by this time it was basically too late.

This is the method that Lao Hu thought of before. Simply put, it is the same as the Raptors. Didn't the Raptors ignore the Knicks' small forwards when defending.Lao Hu also doesn't care who he should be defending. He boldly double-teams Bosh, that is, fishes in troubled waters in Bosh's cooperation, steals the ball if he can, even if he can't steal the ball, at least let Bosh's offense come to a standstill.

This can disrupt the entire offensive rhythm of the Raptors!

In fact, this method may seem a little risky, but it was actually carefully calculated by Lao Hu.Its most fundamental theoretical basis is this style of play, and this lineup is the first time the Raptors have used it.

Just because they are using it for the first time, it is absolutely impossible to be so proficient and perfect in coordination.There will definitely be a sense of strangeness in the movement between players!It was like the substitution at the beginning of the second quarter. That substitution was an accident, but it also reminded Lao Hu of this game.

That is to say, generally speaking, Hu Lin should not appear on the court at that time, but Hu Lin did not perform well in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, Thomas naturally asked Hu Lin to play in order to appease his favorite general. But Sam Mitchell didn't know, he still replaced in the original way.Therefore, when Lao Hu saw Peterson rushing to the court, he thought that the Raptors should have prepared for this game in a hurry. They couldn't play well in a short period of time, and 'Bosh' Although skilled, he is not a very professional 'point forward'.

Based on all the above conditions, Lao Hu simply ignored Peterson, and he also told Nate Robinson that he could ignore TJ Ford, because Hu Lin could take turns to make up for him.

"Oh!..." The ball was missed, and the rebound was not grabbed, but the most important thing was that the Knicks were about to turn this rebound into a fast break.

Curry grabbed the ball and passed it, Lao Hu immediately ran forward, and Nate quickly advanced the ball.The Raptors' backcourt was quite empty. Although Bosh and Humphries were not under the basket just now, they also adjusted to go in to fight for rebounds, but this happened to make them come back late. After all, it is very tiring to always change positions and adjust the center of gravity. Well.

So, now it's 2 on 2, but TJ Ford himself is not a player with good physical strength. Although he runs fast, he has no defensive ability at the basket.

As a result, the ball was directly hit to the basket by Nate, and TJ Ford drove the ball and scored a layup.

32 flats!
Beep!The Raptors called a timeout and it was evenly divided and their offense during this period was simply horrible. It really can't be justified not to call a timeout.

"Hoho! It's evenly divided. I knew this game would not end so easily. The Knicks guys finally woke up. Haha, I have a hunch that a wonderful game is about to begin!" Barkley This time there was finally some enthusiasm.

"The Raptors have started to use their strange array again, but now it seems that the Knicks seem to have found a solution. The Knicks' FOREST. Very clever, as a coach is full of wit!" Smith praised the 'smiling assassin'.

It seems that in just a moment, the Knicks brought the whole situation back. Will the Raptors just sink?

The legendary coach, Sam Mitchell, carefully studied their opponent New York Knicks before the game. He formulated this highly targeted game through the three previous confrontations between the two sides, as well as some other Knicks game videos. tactics, and this distinctive lineup.

This is impossible, because in the first three confrontations, as long as New York No. 8 Hulin played, the Knicks won, that is to say, this Hulin is definitely the core of the Knicks now, even if not, That's also the Raptors' nemesis.

If it doesn't change, it won't work. If it doesn't change, it will probably lose.

Therefore, the performance of this Chinese must be restrained. Sam sent Morris Peterson. This veteran is considered to be the most experienced and strongest defensive presence in the Raptors.

But this is not enough. The Knicks' "Little Shark" Curry has averaged more than 23 points per game this season. There are very few such centers left in the league.This, well, it should be said that this one, I have to say, this is an era when good centers are scarce.Then it is necessary to take special care of this Curry, so Sam sent Humphries and Nesterovic.

It should be said that all the adjustments in this game were made to suppress the opponent, and judging from the effect, it was not bad.However, Sam Mitchell overlooked a problem, that is, there was a problem with his own offense.

The Raptors themselves are not a very strong offensive team. Although TJ Ford is fast, in fact they play very slowly and rarely score high.As far as the inside line is concerned, the Raptors' attack point is really only the "Dragon King" Bosh, and the other people, Garbajosa before the injury is one, and the other people, the veteran Nesterovic, is a newcomer Come Humphries, there really isn't much they can do offensively.

In other words, the Raptors themselves have problems with their offense, and after such a change, they have changed the positions of several major players.After tossing all this, the Raptors players probably don't know how to move.

Now it seems that there seems to be something wrong with this lineup, so let's continue to change!

Sam Mitchell deserves to be a young coach. He has great courage to change. Anyway, he has nothing to worry about. Last season's record of only 27 wins and 55 losses really doesn't need to worry about anything.

The timeout ended quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field. However, Lao Hu quickly discovered that the original bench player Jose Calderon played again, and the other positions of the Raptors remained unchanged. Maurice Peterson is still coming to face Hu Lin.

What does it mean?Did he start desperately shooting three-pointers so early?
"It seems that this coach Sam came up with this method in response to the double-teaming of our men just now. After Calderon came up, the three-point line was accurate. We must have some concerns when double-teaming."

Hu Lin guessed Sam Mitchell's intention at the first time. Whether it is right or not, is Hu Lin now double-teaming or not?
　The Chinese New Year's code words are really dizzy.Oh, thank you for your support!Make a lot of money in the Year of the Snake, make a lot of money!
