You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 846

In the 1961-62 season, the NBA amended the rules to stipulate that only man-to-man defense can be used in the game, and the common defense tactics of amateur basketball were put into the cold palace, named illegal defense.At the time, this provision made many newly joined college students and foreign players feel uncomfortable.

This includes Popovich, who was serving in the U.S. Air Force Academy at the time. When he heard the news, he inevitably had to speak ill of the league at the time. Let’s say a few words. After all, the defense is an amateur player like him who is stronger than himself. The best way for players.

Before the start of this season's preseason training camp, the NBA announced that it would allow re-defense in the new season, which greatly impacted the NBA.

"I think most coaches are reluctant to use zone defense tactics, at least I don't plan to use them." Jazz coach Jerry Sloan is very repulsive to zone defense, "We spent a lot of time practicing zone defense this time around, but I try not to Use this nasty tactic in the game."

The NBA's original vision was to boost scoring through zone defenses in order to attract viewers.But many coaches disagree. In their minds, although man-to-man defense is tiring, it is better than zone defense, especially when it comes to counterattacks, and zone defense has great disadvantages.

Popovich also publicly stated that he hates zone defenses. He believes that zone defenses will reduce players' sense of responsibility, and aggressive man-to-man marking is the foundation of the NBA's defensive end.

But tonight, what did he see?
The overlord of the league in the past three years, the defending champion Pistons, under the leadership of Dor.Mo, played a textbook-like zone defense tactic, and the way of constantly counterattacking by emptying Kidd was refreshing.

If, if even the overlords like the Pistons humbly agree with the new rules and move closer to the alliance, what qualifications and reasons do they have to rest on their laurels?

Popovich fell into deep thought. What he thought was not how to solve Kidd's embarrassment on the court, but how to use the zone defense to make the team profit in future games.

The best teachers are often your enemies.

The Spurs are not yet the enemy of the Pistons, because they have never reached the finals, but every team that has a chance to make the playoffs is not fighting for the championship?
"Gilbert, from now on, you control the ball." Popovich first gave instructions.

Then, he looked at Kidd who was deep in thought, "Jason, you stand here."

Both Kidd and Popovich have to admit a bad fact-Kidd is a bad shooter, no matter where he is on the perimeter, his crosshair is terrible.

His most accurate position is the left 45-degree angle, where he shot 39 percent.

"Coach, what should I do?" Arenas is an unrestrained attacker, but Popovich will always firmly suppress his desire to attack.

But tonight, Popovich said: "I give you freedom, what can you give me?"

"I'll blow up their shit zone defense!" Arenas said vibrated.

"You'd better do what you say!" Popovich waved his hand and let the players play.

It's no surprise that the Spurs let Arenas have the ball.At his peak, Arenas was one of the best combo guards in history. He was a small-ball combo guard who was active in the dark defensive era. With his characteristics, he would be more enjoyable in the small-ball era.

Ginobili's defensive pressure increased in vain, Arenas slowly dribbled, and his dazzling upper body muscles reflected how hard he trained in private.

Many second-round picks were undervalued pre-draft because of talent, age or style of play, but the only thing that was underrated about Arenas was his ego.

He is a typical B-level potential but with inhuman efforts to turn himself into an S-level star.

In the high position, Gasol's pick-and-roll, Rasheed's main defense against Arenas' breakthrough, and then, the young and frivolous general stepped on the three-point line, stretched his waist and shot a long-distance two-pointer.

4 is better than 10
"Don't let go, force him to break through." Mo Mengchen reminded.

Rasheed nodded in understanding, and it was the Pistons' turn to attack.

In this round, the Pistons' running ball dazzled the Spurs, but the pass was too fast, which left Magloire at a loss as to what to do. Passed a foul ball.

Mo Mengchen had to have at least a three-meter wingspan to save the ball.

"Beep!"

The referee judged that the Pistons were out of bounds. At this time, Westphal saw his tricks and replaced Magloire with Brad Miller.

The NBA's rules make it impossible for the center who executes the zone defense to hide under the basket. The existence of the three-second defense makes the NBA's zone defense look like an empty shell, without a soul.

The core of the zone defense lies in the linkage of the four outsiders, and a center with a strong block deterrence sitting at the basket is also the core layout of the zone defense.

Since the center cannot sit at the basket, the ability of the center to protect the basket under the zone defense system is not the focus.

Arenas stepped forward while taking the ball, Kirilenko and Gasol stretched left and right, and the Admiral high pick-and-roll. The height and thickness of this frontcourt combination is enough to compete with any team.

Arenas used the admiral's pick-and-roll to speed up the breakthrough. Miller couldn't keep up with the speed of the major general and lost it in a blink of an eye, but the Pistons' defense was very tight. The moment Miller fell, Hill dropped Kirilenko , come here to help defend.

Arenas let Kirilenko not pass the ball, jumped up in one step, drifted and glided towards the bottom corner on the right, and hit the board.

6 is better than 10
"AK, if you shoot 40 percent from [-] I'll pass you the ball."

When Arenas returned to the defense, he did not forget to explain to the Russian who helped him wipe his ass on the defensive end.

Although Kirilenko was a draft player in mid-1999, he had been in Europe before. This year is his rookie season in the NBA.

Manu Ginobili was intercepted by the Pistons, but the Spurs chose Kirilenko by mistake. It is really hard to say whether it is a loss or a gain.

Kirilenko is still adapting to the three-point line in the NBA. His current three-point shooting rate is only 25%, which is not as good as Kidd. Players who let go.

"Now I'm light without the ball."

Kidd said this to Mo Mengchen who was dribbling over.

"is it?"

I let you go without the ball.

Mo Mengchen handed the ball to Miller, and the moment the ball was released, he ran past Miller.Kidd must keep up with Mo Mengchen, because if he can't keep up, the ball will shuttle back and forth in the Spurs' defense, cutting it like scissors.

Miller's passing skills are several grades better than Magloire's, and they dare not be careless.

Kidd's on-ball defense is top-notch, and his ability to assist in defense and participate in double-teams is not like that of an outside player, but off-ball defense like Mo Mengchen's fast-moving players, who especially like to shuttle pick-and-rolls and screens, are average.

Mo Mengchen threw him far away, and Kidd could only let the AK47 keep up with his pace.

In this way, Kidd's defensive object was replaced by Hill.

Kidd, who claims to be able to defend three positions, can defend Hill?
The answer is of course no.

Ingram is also known as the template for Durant, the face of the Lakers for the next 20 years, and a talent visible through astronomical telescopes.

Kidd's defense collapsed in an instant when he encountered a striker like Hill's breakthrough ability. The player who shared the Rookie of the Year with him at that time rushed past the defense line and disappeared in front of his eyes.

"BOOM!"

"Strike!" Lambiel shouted, "There is an extra penalty!"

The Admiral worked hard to help defend against fouls, and it also added a lot to Hill's dunk.

Hill scored an extra penalty.

13 is better than 6
Ginobili obviously couldn't cover Arenas, so Hill immediately came here and exchanged defenders with him.

No one reminded him what to do, Devil Mountain has long been used to playing against the opponent's ace.

Dor.Mo never had this self-awareness.

Kidd can yell to mobilize teammates without the ball in his hands, but he didn't do this before.

Before coming to the Spurs, Kidd was a silent leader. He would use gestures to let his teammates go where they should go. He seemed very mature and stable, but lack of communication would always lead to problems.

Now, in order to convey his instructions clearly, the whole field is his voice. Could it be said that he has become unstable?
No, he has become more reliable.

Although Arenas was strong, his first step was not fast enough. Hill kept up, stuck close, and pushed the major general into a corner.

Arenas had to pass the ball.

At this point, the defense is considered a success.

The ball came into Gasol's hands, and the tactics were dead. After Arenas was strangled, the Spurs lost the starting point of the tactics, and Gasol handled the ball by himself.

The Spaniard has proved that he can afford the No. 18 pick. So far this season, he has averaged 8+3+2+[-] blocks per game. His basic data and high-level data are all among the top rookies of the same class. The Spurs' second most important player.

After receiving the ball temporarily, he turned around and attacked the basket. Rashid didn't expect him to do this and lost his defensive position.

Miller pounced from the flank, but Gasol hit the ball with his left hand.

This is the person Dor.Mo was thinking of at the beginning.

One of the best bigs for Princeton.

The Admiral happily accepted the rookie's assist and scored a jumper.

　I didn't notice that the monthly pass is over [-]... I will add more tomorrow.Double monthly pass, more votes, one worth two????
