NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 130 Familiar Coordination (48)
With Brezek getting the ball, the Bobcats put up a 5-out formation again after more than a month.

And this familiar lineup and tactics also attracted cheers from the Knicks home fans.

After all, for the fans, the last thing they like to see is unilateral crushing during the game.

But the more novel and intense the better.

After Brezek and Wallace returned to the starting lineup.

Duhon no longer needs to be the first ball-holding point, but falls at a 45-degree angle to the left, acting as an off-ball spotter.

Ariza is in the right corner and Kapono is in the left corner.

Leave the middle to Brezek and Wallace.

This style of play is very similar to the Rockets of later generations.

Everyone on the field pulls Harden to hold the ball alone. If he chooses to step back for a three-pointer, except for Capela who stays to grab the offensive rebound, the rest will all return to defense.

If Harden breaks into the interior, the others will always wait for Harden to distribute the ball, and only shoot three-pointers after receiving the ball.

This is D'Antoni's magic ball theory. Of course, Liu Rui prefers to call his tactic a few throws.

Therefore, it makes sense to have no crown for life.

The Bobcats used Brezek's ultra-long range to transfer the opponent's center out of the three-second zone and had to choose to defend.

On the other hand, Kapono and Ariza in the bottom corners on both sides use the Warriors' splash double pick-and-roll tactics to move.

If there is no chance, Wallace and Blazek can also play a high pick-and-roll.

That is, the Pistons' inside high pick-and-roll tactics.

Generally speaking, Liu Rui also borrowed the tactics of several different teams in the past and the past, and blended them together.

According to the position of each player on the field, arrange for them what they are best at.

In the preseason, this system named Wildcat tactics worked really well.

But in the regular season, this game is also the first time Liu Rui took it out and practiced it thoroughly.

And Wilkens on the Knicks coaching bench folded his arms and frowned slightly as he watched Liu Rui's offensive formation.

But there was not much expression on his face, so he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Although the Knicks' starting center, Mohammed, is a rough man, he has no other means of scoring except for offensive rebounds and rebounds on the offensive end.

But he has a lot of hard work, and his athletic ability is quite good.

Facing Brezek's high ball holding, the entire defense is very tight. He chose to put enough pressure on Brezek so that he could not easily complete the shot from outside the three-point line.

Obviously, Wilkens also made some precautions against Brezek before the game.

Seeing that there was no chance, Kapono on the left immediately started to lift up from the bottom corner.

And Duhon cleverly made a very high-quality pick-and-roll for Kapono.

Using his body, he perfectly blocked Marbury behind him.

Crawford, who was chasing Kapono, was only one step slower, but Kapono received Brezek's pass without any hesitation.

When the body is not straightened, the three-pointer is caught and shot.

sigh~
3:0
The Bobcats played this offensive cooperation very well at the beginning of the game. The entire offensive choice was very simple and clear, and no one hesitated too much.

Kapono, who scored the goal, gave Brezek a high-five in excitement during the defense.

After all, since Brezek and Wallace were suspended, Kapono has not been able to play so smoothly like today's game for a long time.

It is easy to come up with perfect shooting opportunities, because before, the team did not have anyone who was particularly good at supporting them.

And Kapono himself couldn't get out of the open space, which made his offensive selection in shooting very bad, and his shooting efficiency became relatively low.

And when Kapono can't score on the offensive end, he is basically useless on the court, because he is a nightmare on the defensive end.

So at the beginning of the game, familiar tactics, familiar running positions, and Brezek's familiar passing.

Let Kapono throw the ball elegantly even though his body is not completely straightened, and still hit this difficult three-pointer.

After all, the feeling of the ball is unclear, but it really exists.

And this ball seems to say to the fans at home in New York that my three-pointer Kapono is back...

Marbury held the ball for half the court and made several sets of crotch dribbles in front of Duhon, but Duhon's defense was very oppressive.

Marbury tried several times to break through Duhon's defense, but Duhon didn't lose his position.

Facing Kapono's defense, Crawford on the right motioned to Marbury for the ball.

After all, other teams in the league now know that Kapono's defense is the biggest loophole for the Bobcats.

Frowning, although there was some reluctance, Marbury still passed the ball to Crawford.

Crawford, who was born in streetball, signaled his teammates to pull away without using pick-and-rolls.

Facing Crawford, Kapono didn't dare to get too close. After all, he might be knocked down by Crawford if he was not careful.

Crawford's continuous crotch flower operation suddenly accelerated to the right.

Kapono immediately followed to the right, but at this moment, Crawford suddenly pulled back from his crotch, causing Kapono to lose his center of gravity in an instant.

Although it didn't sway, just when Crawford thought he would come out with an open shot.

A figure stepped forward, with dreadlocks and No. [-] jersey, it was Gerald Wallace.

Wallace immediately stepped up and blocked Crawford's shooting space.

Kapono, who reacted, also hurried up to double-team Crawford.

At the same time that Crawford threw the ball to Wen Baker, Wallace also moved, and the whole person quickly returned to defense to Wen Baker.

After receiving the ball, Vin Baker scrambled a mid-range shot before Wallace returned to the defense.

But facing the menacing Wallace, the ball was still disturbed.

Bang~
Facing Mohammed, who is only [-] meters tall, Brezek used his height to protect the backcourt rebound very well.

At the same time that Wen Baker shot, Wallace's whole body muscles burst out with powerful explosive power in an instant.

Like a wild cat hunting for prey, it rushed to the opponent's half court at the first time.

The alcoholic Wen Baker was directly left behind, and for this kind of cooperation, Brezek and Wallace have long been handy, whether in training or in competition.

Brezek, who got the backboard, first protected the ball, and then glanced at Wallace's position.

Throw the ball directly with one hand and throw it far to the front court.

And Wallace also made the next pass accurately at the first time. Obviously, for this kind of cooperation, the two have already developed a great tacit understanding under Liu Rui's training.

This is also the main reason why when Wallace and Brezek were suspended, the quality of the Bobcats' defensive counterattack dropped significantly.

Because it is easy to find people who can make fast breaks immediately, but there are very few big players who can accurately pass the ball to the ball in the first place after protecting the backboard...
