Chapter 361 The Role of a Veteran

"Oh oh oh!……"

Seeing the veteran play, the Dallas fans kept cheering, but their cheering now was more of a courtesy, and the fans actually couldn't understand what the veteran Howard was going to do at this time.

However, soon everyone understood what Howard was doing.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, and he gestured to the Lakers. Paul Gasol of the Lakers made an offensive foul!
"Oh ho ho ho!..." Seeing such a penalty, the Dallas people were even happier.

The old Zen master on the sidelines frowned, he now understood the role of Juwan Howard.

The veteran didn't come up to defend Gasol. His opponent was Ronnie Turiaf, but in fact the veteran still suffered a disadvantage, but the Mavericks used his experience.

Judging from the current situation on the court, Brandon Bass has become a center forward, which means that he is guarding Gasol. Yes, Gasol is tall, but he is very soft. This is the consensus. No one in the NBA doesn't know.Although Bass is short, he is very energetic and powerful, which can move around Gasol.

So, the effect of this defense came out, that is, the core of the Lakers' offense now is Gasol, and the Mavericks used the young Bass to go around the front to prevent the opponent from easily receiving the ball. The Lakers' offense naturally fell into an embarrassing situation.

What if an offensive playmaker can't catch the ball?
There are two ways, one is that if he can't catch the ball, he can switch to someone else and change his style of play, which is fine. NBA players are strong enough, and their tactical execution is strong enough, which means that they can change tactics appropriately, which is no problem.

The second method is to create opportunities to catch the ball. Everyone is alive and free on the court. It is entirely possible to create opportunities by covering and running.

The Lakers use the latter method, because the current tactic is promoted by Zen Master, and there is no Kobe on the court now, so creating opportunities to catch the ball has become the only choice.

So, at this time, the role of veteran Howard is revealed.

Although in terms of body, Howard will be at a disadvantage when facing Turiaf, but Turiaf is not a player who can complete the offense independently. Although his physical fitness is better than that of the veteran, his technique is too rough. Uncle Huo As long as he doesn't lose his position, Turiaf doesn't have much to do.

And Uncle Huo's defensive quality has always been good. His hard-working training all year round allows him to maintain his defensive strength even at this age. What is even more valuable is his defensive experience.

Facing the Lakers' screen runs, pick-and-roll changes and so on, the veteran's experience can be used to the extreme.

The foul just now is the best embodiment of Uncle Huo's defensive experience. Gasol has no advantage in the previous position. With no other choice, he can only cover and change positions for Turiaf. After succeeding, unexpectedly, he accidentally knocked down Uncle Huo who was standing outside the reasonable collision zone.

Anyway, they fell down, and Gasol also defended a few words with the referee, but it was obviously futile.

In fact, Mr. Zhang is very accurate in some places, that is, the Lakers are not a strong defensive team, they are more offensive, and as he said, offense drives defense.The current Lakers just can't play offensively, and their defense naturally has problems.

Swish!Terry hit a three-pointer again. This time he got an extremely free shooting space. There are no Lakers players within three meters around him. If the goal is not scored, it will be too sorry for the audience.

"Amazing! ... That's it! ..."

"Kick their ass hard!  …"

"Just do it! Just do it! Come on!..."

The Dallas people rejoiced. After the ball was scored, the Mavericks led the Lakers 53 to 38 by 15 points.

The point difference Zen master has made another move. He has no other options now. The Lakers' bench is not very strong today. He can only hope that Kobe will save the team.

At 7 minutes and 11 seconds into the second quarter of the game, Bryant appeared again.

At this time, Carlisle didn't need to hide any more strength, he immediately dispatched Nowitzki and Hulin in his hands, of course he kept Bass and Howard, and Terry.

As an academic coach, Carlisle is indeed a bit slow in reacting on the spot, but it is normal for him to use veteran Howard this time, because this is completely the defensive aspect that Carlisle is good at. How the players on the field handle it.

Although it is time for Hu Lin to play, in fact, Hu Lin's mission is to make the Mavericks' offense smoother.

However, now we still have to defend the ball first, the Lakers' possession of the ball.

After Kobe came on the court, the Lakers had more offensive options. They could choose to pass the ball to Kobe. Although this is not what the Zen master wants to see, it is now a good choice.Because if Kobe can open up the situation, it will reduce the pressure on Gasol and other Lakers' insiders, so that the Lakers' offense can be played alive.

It sounds like this is contradictory to the Zen master's original thinking, but in fact the current Zen masters really think so. This is the so-called concrete analysis of specific situations, not sticking to one pattern, which is the essence of the Zen master's "Zen" way.

Swish!Sure enough, after Kobe came on the court, he immediately scored a goal.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Good shot! Kobe has to take the shot, look at how beautiful the shot is!" Teacher Zhang was still exaggerating.

It doesn't matter, you can't let your opponent not score. Besides, this is Kobe, although he has a little more iron.

In the current Mavericks, without David Lee on the field, Lao Hu's pick-and-roll coordination will be slightly affected, but he has already thought of a way, which is very simple.

As soon as he reached the frontcourt, Lao Hu handed the ball to Terry, and then he ran to the weak side with Kobe, who came to stare at him.

That's right, a very simple and very practical way is to let Terry and Nowitzki play their monkey and elephant game. This is the Mavericks' repertoire. There is no need for Lao Hu to break up the good friends tacit cooperation.

Swish!Nowitzki scored two points, he really is a good friend.

"YEAH!..." During this period of time, although there were calls and substitutions, the offense of the Mavericks has continued to maintain a good momentum, and the fans in Dallas were also very happy.

55 to 40, the point difference is still 15 points.

The game continued, Bass of the Mavericks was still going around, and there was quite intense physical contact between him and Gasol.

From the point of view of height, Gasol has an absolute advantage. His height of [-] meters is not much water, while Bass is only [-] meters.However, Bath's physical fitness is much stronger than that of his sister-in-law.

Squeak!Squeak! ...

The two are constantly getting stuck, and they both want to get a good position, but Gasol is always behind Baska.

This is not a good opportunity. Lao Yu dare not pass the ball to Gasol. Although he can choose to pass the ball to the Spaniard, his position is not good now. It is quite difficult to pass the ball comfortably, but it is very easy. Throw it out of bounds, because the ball can't be passed low enough, and the bounce of NBA players is not bad. This old fish in Bath also knows it, and it definitely belongs to the type that can jump.

No choice but to choose Kobe!

This time it was Lao Hu who was defending Kobe. Although Nowitzki was on the court, Bass was now playing center. The Mavericks lacked height inside. Although Uncle Huo had good experience, his height was also insufficient.

coming!

Facing this opponent, Lao Hu is really serious about defending. Although Kobe himself has many shortcomings, such as paranoid and competitive, this guy is definitely a respectable opponent, at least Lao Hu thinks so.

cover!

It can only be regarded as a cover, Turiaf comes out to help Kobe block, and then Kobe slips past him.

Uncle Huo's delaying action came out, and this action was quite in place. It helped Huo get close to Kobe in the shortest time.

Shot!

There was no hesitation, no unnecessary moves, Kobe shot when Lao Hu rushed up, all of this was normal style of play.

Lao Hu could only do his best to defend. He opened his hands, trying desperately to cover his opponent's eyes.

"Woooo..."...Kuu!

I don't know if it was Lao Hu's defense that worked, or the interference of the fans. Anyway, Kobe hit another shot.

"YES!..." This is an affirmation, an affirmation of the fans and the Mavericks defense.

To be honest, the Mavericks' defensive performance is very effective. This is a major change. The previous Mavericks didn't have such a good defense.

The defense has changed, but the offense has continued the tradition of the Mavericks.

Simple and effective!
After Second Uncle Huo got the rebound, he immediately handed it over to Hu Lin, and Huo quickly pushed forward immediately, and then, this fellow easily handed it over to Terry.

Judging from the situation just now, the cooperation between Terry and Nowitzki is quite good, so continuing to play like this is a good choice.

One of the principles of point guards is to give the ball more when the hands are hot.

Terry and Nowitzki started the elephant and monkey game again, and Lao Hu took Kobe to the weak side again, specifically the corner of the weak side.

This time was different from the last time. This time Terry chose to break through by himself. After the two switched positions a few times, the room for breakthrough suddenly appeared.

There was a loophole in the defense, so it was natural to block it, so Kobe temporarily left his defensive target, but he immediately regretted it.

Divide the ball!

Just like Lao Hu often does, Terry also found a vacancy in the bottom corner this time, Hu Lin!

With a simple glance, the basketball comes out!

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

There was a deafening sound in the flight center arena!

　Hey, there is a typo in the title of the chapter, the fox is such a tragedy, I am speechless.
