NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 184 Tianxiu (Monthly Pass Plus Changes)
Seeing that the Nets had switched back to the main team so early, Liu Rui didn't make any adjustments.

The reason why the main lineup can be called the main force is because they are definitely stronger than the overall attributes of the substitute lineup.

I have advanced player experience in later generations, so I don't worry about not meeting good stars.

And what I am most afraid of is injuries, so this is one of the main reasons why Liu Rui pays so much attention to players' playing time.

This also allowed the whole team to play until now, and the rookie Ariza averaged the most playing time per game.

After all, if you want to become a top 3D player in the league, physical strength is definitely a part that cannot be ignored.

Because often in the highly confrontational games of the playoffs, they have to keep marking the opponent's sharp-edged figures, and it is impossible to have too much rest time.

But there is also the purpose of protecting players, so even Ariza, who averaged the most minutes per game in the team, only had 31.2 minutes.

It is also the only player with an average playing time of more than 30 minutes per game for the entire Bobcats team.

The two teams continued to compete. Although the Nets' substitute players only played for a short four minutes, they dug a relatively large hole.

At this time, the Nets were already behind the Bobcats by double digits. Although the Big Three tried their best to score points, at the end of the half, the Bobcats still ended with:

58:49
Leading the Nets by nine points, the first half of the contest ended.

After returning from the second half, the Nets launched a fierce offensive, but Liu Rui, who was sitting on the sidelines, could not see the slightest panic, because all this was within his expectations.

After a short break at halftime, the main players of the Nets who got a rest will definitely come back in the second half to launch a fierce counterattack.

But this kind of counterattack cannot continue until the fourth quarter.

The Lynx team is completely different. In this game, Liu Rui made good use of the seamless connection between the main force and the substitute.

Seizing the weakness of the Nets inside and playing endlessly, they distributed the physical strength of the players very well.

Let the Bobcats have a strong competitiveness no matter what time it is.

Maybe this trick doesn't work against other teams in the league, but playing the Nets is the key to winning.

But at this time Liu Rui sat on the coach's bench, but his expression was not very good.

Of course, the reason for the unsightly appearance was not because of the game, but because the pack of beef jerky I brought out was snatched up by the players.

At first, it was just Wallace who had the cheek to ask for it, but then he saw the big buffalo White staring at the beef jerky in his hand, wishing to drool.

Looking at White's huge body, but showing such weak and helpless eyes, Liu Rui was really suffocated by Lei.

Watching Wallace eating and spitting non-stop, the other players on the bench for the greedy Bobcats have been swallowing there.

Although this beef jerky is very precious, Liu Rui thought about it, and it is really not good to eat alone, so he reluctantly took out the beef jerky and shared some with everyone present.

This made Liu Rui look very bad, but he was thinking about it while sitting on the sidelines.

It seems that it is necessary to go to Smith to talk about the team again, well, it is necessary...

Sure enough, the Nets' counterattack momentum stopped at the end of the third quarter.

Because as Flake needs to rotate the lineup, it is impossible for the Nets to maintain such a strong offensive firepower all the time.

At this time, it is the best time for the Bobcats to counterattack.

Facing Al Jefferson's footsteps in the first half, the Nets' inside scalp was numb.

Therefore, Frank also made adjustments to his defense, that is, try to get a strong man and push him out of the three-second zone, forcing him to finish at a position farther from the basket.

If it is another inside line, this method will definitely greatly reduce the offensive efficiency, but Jefferson is an offensive player with no dead ends within 16 feet.

Continuous mid-range shots, one-handed dunks after flying the defender, dreamy footsteps under the basket, and double-teaming after turning around for a layup.

A series of offensive methods made Frank's scalp tingle.

Is this a player who could only play as a substitute before? ?Isn't this kind of player a lottery pick? ?
Are league scouts blind? ?Or is the Celtics management blind? ?
Jefferson did have a smile on his face, enjoying the game very much.

After all, no coach would arrange this style of play, arrange four shooters on the court, tell the players, you just need to play to your heart's content, and I will not blame you for anything you do on the court.

Even Van Gundy's all-star coach did not have this kind of philosophy.

After all, the essence of the one-star shooting back then, although Howard was the axis, but the real horror of the team was to use Howard to attract defenses, thereby creating opportunities for outside players.

This is also one of the reasons why O'Neal can win the scoring title, but Howard can't.

But Liu Rui's arrangement in the second team is indeed very different, which can be said to be very extreme.

That is, all styles of play are centered on Jefferson. Even in the face of double-teaming, as long as you feel there is an opportunity, you don't need to pass the ball.

It's not because Liu Rui pays special attention to Jefferson, because even Jefferson's inside offensive talent is considered top-notch in the NBA, and he is a player with his own offensive system.

And in the second team, apart from Jefferson, there is really no second better candidate.

Although the veteran Smith is stable, his contributions in each game are numerous. It is difficult for you to expect a person who is about to retire to burst out every game with a bursting touch.

House and Karim are even more outside players who can only catch and shoot.

Without a strong pull point, it may be difficult to get a few shots.

As for Sampson, it is also because Eli has not come back so far, so he can only be used inside.

At the same time, Sampson's excellent athletic ability can choose to switch defenses with Jefferson on the defensive end, sharing the defensive pressure for Jefferson on the defensive end.

Bobcats will work together to withstand the counterattack of the Nets.

Let the Bobcats end the third quarter with:

85:75
Still with a double-digit lead going into the fourth quarter.

Compared with the self-confidence before the game at the beginning, Frank, the head coach of the Nets at this time, has no obvious calmness.

In these three quarters, the Nets did not have a lead in one quarter.

Even in the third quarter, the Nets played a small climax and launched a strong counterattack.

But at the end, after the main players took a break, the Bobcats quickly caught up with the score and successfully controlled the score to double digits.

With the increasing physical exertion of the main players of the Nets, in the fourth quarter, the balance of victory seemed to have tilted towards the Bobcats.

The chronograph of the court is like an hourglass. As its time decreases, Flake on the sidelines becomes more and more impatient...
