NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 150
To the Bobcats' offensive possession, because few teams in the league would choose to run two bigs in the high post for a pick-and-roll.

It's basically the cooperation between the point guard and the center.

One is that the dribbling skills of big players are definitely not as good as that of defenders. In this era of big players, there are very few players with particularly good passes.

For example, Webber is the representative of all-around power forward in this era.

Wallace and Brezek continued to pick and roll in the high post. Faced with the Bobcats' offense, the Suns directly chose to switch defenses.

Otherwise, the ball will not be able to catch up after going around the screen.

Seeing that the Suns were forced to switch defenses, Blazek cleverly brought Stoudemire to the left side without Wallace's voice to remind him.

Leave the middle to Wallace and Voskull.

Seeing that the person defending him turned into Voskull, Wallace stepped back a few steps.

He intends to pass Voskull with speed and go directly to the basket. After all, this kind of dislocation is basically a scoring opportunity for Wallace.

Voskull sees himself defending Wallace.

Knowing that his speed was not at the same level as Wallace's, he stepped back and tried to make room.

After all, D'Antoni also explained before the game that he mainly defended Wallace's breakthrough under the basket.

Although in the Bobcats game against the Knicks, Wallace's three-pointer felt hot, and Wilkens, who once shot it, had to change his defensive strategy.

But no one thinks Wallace's touch can last forever.

A proper explosion is reasonable for the players.

Wallace took a few steps back, leaned forward with a sudden force under his feet, and Voskull, who was defending Wallace, hurriedly retreated.

But when Wallace was on the three-point line, he chose a sudden stop.

Because of inertia, Voskull didn't have time to react at all, and his body was still receding.

Wallace settled down and made a decisive shot with an open three-pointer.

sigh~
The ball is hollow into the net! !
Wallace hit this three-point shot with an emergency stop! !

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that Wallace would be so confident in choosing to stop for a three-pointer in the face of such a dislocation.

After all, in previous games, three-pointers have not been Wallace's regular offensive means.

That's why when other teams faced the Bobcats, they chose to put Wallace as far as possible, forcing him to shoot.

But now Wallace seems to still like to shoot three-pointers? ?
"Yes!! Great, this ball is great!! I really didn't expect Wallace to play like this."

Watching Wallace make an emergency three-pointer on the field, Bickerstaff also clenched his fists excitedly off the field.

Not to mention Bickerstaff, even Liu Rui who was on the side put down the apple in his hand and was slightly surprised.

Although Liu Rui knew that Wallace would probably shoot more three-pointers in future games, he was faced with this kind of small opportunity to play big.

This urgent three-pointer was shot so decisively, which obviously exceeded Liu Rui's expectations.

It was really a surprise for him.

Following Wallace's three-pointer, D'Antoni pursed his lips.

Hands on hips, looking up at the replay.

After the start, the Bobcats did not let the shooter run and shoot through tactics as usual, but played a 2v2 pick-and-roll in the high post.

And the two insiders, Brezek and Wallace, each hit a three-pointer.

It also made D'Antoni confused for a while.

Already thinking about if the Bobcats are playing like this, should they replace Voskull and take the five small lineups in advance.

Following the Bobcats' defensive routine in the first quarter, facing a small pick-and-roll, they switched defenses directly after the pick-and-roll.

Facing the big man's pick-and-roll, the defender directly delayed backwards, forcing the Suns to become individual singles after every pick-and-roll.

On the flank, Liu Rui even told the team to keep an eye on Richardson and Marion, forcing the Suns to play Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll.

In the face of Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, the Bobcats' defensive strategy is very obvious, that is, the big man delays backwards and the small man chases behind.

Resolutely not to give Nash the opportunity to pass the ball to other routes after the breakthrough. As a last resort, Nash can only return the ball to Stoudemire.

Lively turned the Suns' offense into Stoudemire's personal shooting show.

On the offensive end, the Bobcats played defensive counterattacks whenever they had a chance.

Although the Suns' defensive speed is very fast, the positioning is very timely.

After all, in D'Antoni's defensive concept, after the team completes the offense, everyone except the center grabs offensive rebounds and the rest quickly return to defense.

That is to say, Shengsheng speeds up the pace of the game, which is the essence of the seven-second offense and the magic ball theory.

But knowing what the Suns were thinking, the Bobcats still fought back resolutely.

After all, that's what the Bobcats do best.

The two teams only had to face each other in the first quarter, and after they got backcourt rebounds, they played very fast.

Relying on the outside touch of the Bobcats players.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats ended with:

35:32
Leading the Suns by three points ended the first quarter.

The two teams scored a combined 67 points in the first quarter, and the commentary on the shocking scene has been amazed.

After all, this kind of scene was never imagined by anyone before the start of the game.

Not to mention others, even Liu Rui, who is the head coach, didn't even think about it sitting on the court. He didn't expect that the Bobcats would play so well.

I thought that facing the Suns, the hegemony of the Western Conference, or fly away to fight, this team composed of rookies will definitely have some abnormal performance.

But it never occurred to me that not only did the players not perform abnormally, but they also performed exceptionally.

Is this the legendary newborn calf is not afraid of tigers? ?
In the second quarter, as the substitute players of the two teams came on the field, the styles of both sides directly produced a qualitative change.

In the Bobcats bench lineup, most of the finishing points are completed by Okafor.

The strong-side iron triangle formed by Okafor, Kareem, and House is playing a triangle offense.

Use Okafor's personal ability to contain the opponent's defense, so that while scoring himself, he also has the opportunity to create opportunities for wing shooters.

So the rhythm of the Bobcats slowed down, and the Suns, even if they came off the bench, had two backcourt combinations of Brazilian Lightning Barbosa and Joe Johnson.

The team's style is still to push the fast break if it can, and to disrupt the game if it can.

The Suns' substitute center is Hunter, because Hunter has a weight of 240 pounds and is currently the best choice for the Suns to defend Okafor in the low post on the bench.

In this game, Liu Rui chose to let the veteran Smith rest in rotation.

Because he has played more than a dozen regular season games in a row, and in addition to the devil's schedule for this period of time, as a veteran, he really should take a break.

Facing a running and bombing team like the Suns, even Smith can't play a big role on the court.

The return of the team's brain Knight will allow the Bobcats' second team to have a court commander.

At the very least, the game won't be taken away by a wave...
