Chapter 59
On the training day, the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland is staging a unique tactical drill match.

Generally, before fighting with the next opponent, the opponent's information will be collected, the opponent's weakness will be attacked, and the opponent's strengths will be prevented and cracked, so as to be able to win the battle.

"Boozer, Ilgauskas, you two don't stay in the paint all the time, expand your defense, don't give the opponent too many easy shots, throw me out and interfere with the opponent's shooting!!"

During the game, the substitute player slowly aimed from outside the left three-point line, and then hit a three-pointer. Ilgauskas didn’t even move, and was ready to turn around and grab a rebound. This defensive awareness will suffer a lot. of.

Paul Silas frowned, and in response to the problems on the field, he shouted loudly: "The defensive line is pressing, you don't need to keep tight on the inside line all the time, you have to adapt to the situation, and try different defensive strategies!!"

On the side, assistant coach Stephen Silas recorded the performance data of the players on the field in the tactical record book, stopped the pen in his hand, and said suddenly: "If our defense line is expanded, it will be easy for the opponent's players to break through. Moreover, the big Z's movement speed is not fast, and throwing out may not interfere with the opponent's shooting, but let the opponent sway, he can enter the inside line and face the basket directly.

Once this kind of tactic is implemented, it is easy to lose sight of the other, so it is better to shoot the ball against each other, and use my height advantage to defeat the opponent! ! "

Paul Silas nodded, and said calmly: "The situation on the field is changing rapidly, and the opponents we face are also different. If we only shrink the zone defense, we can prevent the opponent to death. Naturally, we don't need to spend a lot of money. Other targeted tactics.

However, what if the opponent has mastered the offensive and defensive rhythm and forced us to defend?Therefore, it is still necessary to make preparations in advance, and we cannot fight unprepared battles.Moreover, the next opponent, the Toronto Raptors, has such strength, we have to guard against it! ! "

Stephen Silas nodded and reminded: "In addition to expanding the defense line, we also need to strengthen shooting! Although improving the shooting sight cannot be changed overnight, it is still very important to think a little more. "

After rehearsing tactics and practicing shooting, Lin Bai took a short break, opened the coach's book, glanced at the attribute information inside, and continued to train.

Starting from improving your endurance and strength, in the NBA, basketball skills and unyielding fighters are not enough. If you want to go further and stand more stably, it is impossible without physical support .

You know, in the NBA draft, the managers of each team are not looking at basketball skills first, but physical talent, which determines the upper limit.

As for basketball skills and fighting spirit, it is completely possible to gradually develop and improve after entering the NBA.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the time has come. On the evening of December 2003, 12, the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

Toronto head coach Kevin O'Neal pushed open the door, walked into the away locker room, greeted the players first, and began to announce the starting lineup that will play tonight, "Point guard Alvin Williams, scoring Vince Carter at guard, Jalen Rose at small forward, Donyell Marshall at power forward, Chris Bosh at center."

As soon as the starting list came out, the players were very calm. After all, they were already prepared.

On December 12st, the Toronto Raptors had just completed a big player trade, with the inside core Antonio Davis, Jerome Williams and Chris Jeffries three-point chips, in exchange for the Chicago Bulls Donyell Marshall, Jaylen Rose and Lonnie Baxter, get two generals and officially start rebuilding.

Therefore, except for the team's head star Vince Carter and the point guard Alvin Williams he trained, whether other players can start the game, before the head coach announces, everyone has a chance to play.

Of course, Chris Bosh, the No. 03 rookie of the Platinum Generation in [-], took the position of center forward. Soon, his talent was extraordinary, and in terms of training value, he had a place in the starting five.

The Toronto Raptors' record before and after the player trade was very different. As soon as the new players came, they played a wave of four consecutive victories, sweeping away the previous situation of no improvement. Among them, Donyell Marshall, who served as power forward, performed well. The most eye-catching, played an important role in these four consecutive victories, averaging 20.5 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, with outstanding strength, and established his position as the starting power forward.

Jaylen Rose is one of the famous Michigan Five Tigers. He has a great reputation and was the outside core of the Chicago Bulls in 2002. However, he was traded to the cold Toronto to assist Vince Carter.

In the first two games, he was a bit uncomfortable and his statistics were a bit bleak. However, Rose quickly adjusted and showed his strength at the All-Star level. He scored 20+10 impressive statistics one after another. There is no problem with Ross taking the position.

After announcing the list of starting players, Kevin O'Neal began to arrange the main tactics of the game, "Next, our offensive tactics are very simple. In the positional battle, Alvin Williams dribbles to the half court and passes to Carter was singled out, and other players opened up space. Bosh and Marshall evacuated the inside and ran out of shooting space. Carter held the ball in the middle and played point forward.

Adaptable, able to break through, shoot and pass.

If the defender is difficult to deal with, you can play a high pick-and-roll with Bosh, and then be singled out.

After Carter finishes playing, Jaylen Rose can be replaced as a point forward, and the others are ready to catch and shoot at any time.

In the counterattack and fast break, run up, take advantage of our speed, play run and bomb, and insist on shooting when there is a chance. If you miss the shot, I don’t blame you. Our philosophy is to rely on offense to win.Of course, defense is also not to be underestimated. "

After laying out the offensive tactics, Kevin O'Neill began to talk about defense, "Defensively, we suffer from strength and height, but we can use our mobility to defend.

Shrink the inside line, play the ball-handling players for zone defense, and force them to compete with us for shooting. We are not afraid of any opponents in terms of shooting and offensive firepower! ! "

After finishing speaking, Kevin O'Neal's eyes sparkled, and he seemed to be able to see what he wanted to see. The Raptors advanced into Triumph. On offense, the twin star rounds bombed from the outside line. On the defensive end, they put up a turtle formation and used maneuver Sex, forcing the Cavaliers and Raptors to fight for their best shots.

In the end, he clapped his hands vigorously, and said in a loud voice: "Guys, the time is almost up, it's time for us to play. Let's use offense to destroy opponents and enjoy the joy of basketball!!"

…………

"At present, the status of the Cavaliers and the Raptors is very different. Although the Cavaliers have just defeated the Eagles and ended their three-game losing streak, they still have many problems that have not been resolved. The Toronto Raptors got Marshall and Rose through a trade. These two powerful generals, their records have improved by leaps and bounds, and they have entered the ranks of the playoffs, with courage like a rainbow."

After analyzing the situation of the two teams, Barkley opened the Cavaliers' starting roster and continued: "The Cavaliers' starting roster is out. After Boozer came back, he performed well in all three games. Miles Because of the trade rumors, it has been removed from the starting lineup. Let us see what kind of starting lineup Paul Silas will make. Well, point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Ricky Davis, Jr. Forward Ira Nubel, power forward Carlos Boozer and center Zajunas Ilgauskas.

Only the position of the small forward has been changed, with the excellent defensive Ira Newbell replacing Miles with unstable shooting. The Cavaliers head coach has taken into account the issue of possession of the ball in this arrangement.

Reduce an offensive point and add a defensive player, will Paul Silas's abacus be as he wishes? "

Kenny Smith took over the topic and analyzed the Raptors' tactics and starting roster, "The Raptors have an offensive lineup, and it seems that they want to attack and win. Point guard Alvin Williams, Shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Jalen Rose, power forward Donyell Marshall, center Chris Bosh.

Just looking at the lineup, the Raptors can attack and every player can shoot. It seems that tactically, they want to use shooting to win. "

Barkley curled his lips and said calmly: "In the regular season, you can win with shooting alone, but it is impossible to go further in the playoffs. The Raptors put basketball Look too simple, right?
However, with the addition of two scorers, Rose and Marshall, they do have the confidence to compete with any team for offense and shooting, and have the powerful strength to defeat any opponent in a confrontation. "

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "The Raptors have a good plan, but how will the Cavaliers respond? What roles will the team stars Carter and James play? Next, please keep your eyes open." Eyes, wait and see!!"

After a simple shooting warm-up, the starting players of both sides stood in the middle circle of the court, and the game preparations began.

Whoa!
With a whistle,

With the basketball in the hands of the referee, it was thrown high, and the two sides jumped the ball to start.

Zajunas Ilgauskas vs Chris Bosh!
