NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 200 Three-gun Headshot Tactical Gesture
After returning from the second half, the two sides recharged their batteries and continued to fight again. The Bobcats still continued the style of play in the first half.

Because of the existence of Wallace and Okafor, the Jazz did not dare to expand their defense.

Wallace used the pick-and-roll to beat Boozer, and he simply took too much advantage in speed.

After Sloan came back in the second half, he still did not choose to make any adjustments in offensive tactics.

Continuing the team's previous pick-and-roll tactics, others opened up space to take the opportunity to shoot, and Kirilenko made an empty cut at the basket.

In fact, it's not that Sloan doesn't know other tactics, but that coach Sloan has been playing pick-and-roll tactics throughout his coaching career.

It can be said that he made the pick and roll, and it can also be said that the pick and roll made him.

It is precisely because of the pick-and-roll tactics that Sloan brought the Jazz to the stage of the finals, and it is precisely because of the pick-and-roll tactics that the Jazz can only go to the stage of the finals.

You can't judge whether it is right or wrong to do so. Everyone has their own beliefs to pursue, just like D'Antoni. In the next ten years, he has been running through his own style of play.

Although he has no championship for life, he can keep the team competitive. It is difficult for this kind of coach to be unemployed in the true sense of the NBA.

In later generations, the tactics of defending against pick-and-rolls were simply played out of tricks, so what Liu Rui is best at is defending against pick-and-rolls.

What's more, the movement speed, defense ability, and personal wingspan of several people on the Bobcats team are all relatively high-quality players.

In the pick-and-roll defense, the defense is changed more quickly, and the defense is more in place.

This is simply a head-to-head contest. Even though the two teams were targeted by the opponent on the offensive end, they did not change their tactics, but chose to fight the bayonet.

At the end of the third quarter, with Mo Williams' outstanding performance in this game, the Bobcats played away with:

88:76
Leading the Jazz by 12 points, ending the three-quarter contest.

Martin felt very bad in the first three quarters. I don't know if it has something to do with altitude sickness. He faced many open shots, but failed to make the ball.

The pick-and-roll that the Jazz have been relying on this season is indeed extremely inefficient in this game.

If Okur hadn't hit 5 three-pointers in the first three quarters, I am afraid that at the end of the three quarters, the Bobcats would continue to widen the difference.

Facing Arroyo, the wonder boy, Mo Williams had a great feeling in this game. He played 25 minutes at the end of the third quarter, made 14 of 8 shots, 6 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 18 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists.

Ever since he was traded, he has been suspected by people, and this game finally showed a data that can prove himself.

You must know that when Mo Williams was first traded, because the Bobcats had played very well in the previous transactions, people had always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards Mo Williams.

But after three games, Mo Williams not only didn't make any progress, but when the Bobcats took more shots, his shooting percentage was even lower.

Let more and more people start pointing at Mo Williams, and picked up so many leaks, the Bobcats management has long been envious of people.

Faced with this opportunity, some clowns also jumped out and said that the management of the Bobcats was incompetent.

Not to mention the loss of the potential new star Du Hong, only two players of this level were traded, and after this kind of public opinion was picked up by the media, it caused a lot of resistance among the fans for a while.

Mo Williams, who originally learned that he was traded to the Bobcats, was proud of himself. He felt that he could get more playing time and be able to reach the pinnacle of his career like everyone else.

But after arriving, due to Mo Williams' poor performance, he was ridiculed by the fans instead.

This made the young Mo Williams feel unacceptable, and it was also thanks to Ariza's enlightenment to Mo Williams during this period.

After all, Ariza also encountered this situation when he first arrived.

Then in training, Mo Williams showed an amazing desire to win, and began to practice his shooting crazily. According to Liu Rui's request, he focused on practicing three-pointers after the pick-and-roll.

This kind of training intensity was simply unbelievable for the uninhibited Mo Williams before.

Because Mo Williams is very clear in his heart, as a rookie contract, he changed three teams within two years.

This is a shameful thing in the first place. If he can't play his worth in a newly rebuilt team, then maybe he will no longer have a foothold in this league.

As long as there is a little self-motivated person, no one will make fun of his career.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the two sides also briefly sent substitute lineups to compete to win more rest time for the main players.

In the contest of the bench lineup, as long as Jefferson has the ball, Sloan will double-team him on the defensive end.

Because of this game, House and Karim on the bench felt very bad. I don't know if they were also affected by altitude sickness.

So far, the two have jointly missed seven three-pointers.

This is why Sloan dared to double-team Jefferson crazily.

Jefferson, who came to the Bobcats and played smoothly, played smoothly in the second quarter, but after returning from the second half, facing coach Sloan's targeted defense, he made mistakes again and again.

Off the court, Liu Rui calculated the time in his mind, and found that the substitute lineup was struggling on the court during this period, so he also called a timeout.

Then I plan to switch to the main lineup in advance. After all, the Bobcats have a great advantage so far in this game.

If it is turned over in this situation, it will really be a bloody ending.

After returning from the timeout, coach Sloan may have guessed Liu Rui's thoughts, and also changed into his starting lineup in advance.

Or they simply wanted to take this opportunity to chase points. Anyway, the final result was that the two teams replaced their starting lineups at the same time.

In the last 7 minutes or so, the final decisive battle was carried out.

Liu Rui stood on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, when Mo Williams cast his eyes on Liu Rui on the sidelines.

All I saw was Liu Rui on the sidelines making a gesture, using three fingers to make a gun shape for a headshot.

This action is actually derived from the classic celebration action of the little melon Anthony in later generations, with three shots to the head.

But this action was later banned by the league.

Because the reason given is that the alliance needs to pay attention to its own image. This action has obvious gangster tendencies, which will bring bad influence to the alliance.

As for whether Anthony is a gangster in private, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that in real life, Anthony has friendship with local black bosses in the most chaotic places in the United States.

At least this is well known...
