NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 257 258. Playoff preview? (19) Ask for a monthly pass!

The two sides jumped the ball, and the Bobcats got the ball first.

Facing the Pistons, several major offensive methods of the Bobcats have been restrained.

This made head coach Liu Rui quite depressed before the game.

Jefferson, who has always been a low-post killer, did not arrange too many tactics for him in this game.

Because whether it is facing Daben in the low position or pulling Daben to the high position, the current Jefferson is simply impossible to be Daben's opponent.

There is only one final result, which is to be skeptical about life being guarded by Da Ben.

In this case, Liu Rui still put on a twin-tower lineup, instead of showing the Bobcats' trump card this season, the small lineup.

Because the biggest advantage of a small lineup is that it can strengthen outside shooting and at the same time have better agility on both ends of the offense and defense.

But the Pistons are at the top of the league in terms of perimeter defense and speed.

So if Liu Rui still insists on using a small lineup, the final result will only become a suicide tactic.

Although Jefferson faced Big Ben in the last game, it can be said that he was at an absolute disadvantage, but at least he could balance the height of the court and try to protect the backcourt rebounds as much as possible.

After the opening, unlike in the past, Jefferson did not sit in the low post to ask for the ball, but chose to pull directly to the three-point line on the right.

With Daben's defensive speed, even if he is pulled to the outside, there is no disadvantage at all.

But pulling Daben outside is better than Daben staying in the penalty area to help defend.

Because in this game, it is difficult for the Bobcats shooters to run too many open opportunities, so Liu Rui's tactical strategy for this game is to try his best to make mid-range shots after the pick-and-roll and strengthen his impact on the basket.

Although this runs counter to the offensive philosophy of the Bobcats this season, but faced with two lifelines being restrained by the Pistons at the same time, Liu Rui can only make a bad move and try to find opportunities.

Because the mid-range shooting space will always have more opportunities than those outside the three-point line after passing the tactical movement.

Although the Bobcats usually have a low proportion of mid-range shots, the players basically have the ability to shoot from mid-range.

If you have a good chance, it's better than trying to make a strong shot from beyond the three-point line.

As for the impact on the basket, after pulling Big Ben out of the penalty area as much as possible, whether it is Kevin Martin or Gerald Wallace this season, both of them can be called good players in foul making.

Especially Kevin Martin, his offensive skills are still very rich, and facing this Pistons, with the current lineup configuration, this is also one of the best ways for the Bobcats.

Even if it is a defensive counterattack, with the lineup on the field today, the Bobcats do not have the slightest advantage at all.

Martin took the ball at a high position at the top of the arc, and Wallace saw the situation and also came up to set a pick-and-roll for Martin.

Because the five Pistons on the field are relatively speaking, Hamilton's defensive ability may be the worst among the five Pistons.

Therefore, it inevitably became the breakthrough point of the Bobcats' offense. The reason why Wallace was allowed to perform the pick-and-roll was because if the Pistons did not choose to switch defenses, then Martin could use this pick-and-roll to create as many offensive opportunities as possible.

If the Pistons choose to switch defenses, Martin can directly return the ball to Wallace on the outside and attack the basket from the front around the three-point line.

Wallace still has a high success rate in singles against Hamilton without help defense.

Facing the style of play of the Bobcats, Hamilton certainly knew what the Bobcats were going to do, so he pushed his teammate Prince in front of him while going around the pick-and-roll.

Said that this attack should not change defenses, but try to widen Prince's defensive range so as to block Kevin Martin's breakthrough.

Hamilton chose to go around behind Prince as much as possible, thus blocking Martin's next attack route.

Faced with this situation, Prince expanded his defensive range, and Martin would be blocked no matter whether he shot on the spot or continued to break into the basket.

But Martin still chose to go straight to the basket, facing Prince's interference, and saw that Hamilton had bypassed Prince's back.Standing on the path of travel.

Martin directly passed the ball back to Wallace outside the three-point line.

After Wallace received the return ball, Prince's position had not been corrected in time, and without any hesitation, he opened his hand outside the three-point line and threw it.

3:0
As Wallace has taken more and more shots from outside the three-point line this season, Gerrard's touch has also become softer.

Faced with this kind of three-pointer that is almost open, it is also a big improvement from the middle of the season.

Seeing the offensive round on the field, Liu Rui off the field took the lead in applauding for his disciples.

As for Martin and Wallace's pick-and-roll tactics in high positions, of course it was Liu Rui's pre-match arrangement.

But this offensive choice can be said to be a decision made by Martin using his personal golf intelligence.

He judged Hamilton's intentions very well, and he was not in a hurry to get credit and panic, but directly returned the ball to Wallace who had a better chance outside.

After receiving the return ball, Wallace did not hesitate at all. Even though it was not in line with the original intention of the pre-match tactical arrangement, Gerrard still grasped the opportunity well.

There was no hesitation in this shot. Regardless of whether the shot was made or not, for Liu Rui, this was a perfect tactical execution.

"good!!'"

Watching the disciples return to defense on the field, Liu Rui also stood up from his seat and gave his thumbs up to the players on the field.

From this moment on, winning or losing this game has become less important to Liu Rui.

The important thing is that Liu Rui has seen the growth of his disciples, and they have already made their own judgments on the field.

Facing the opportunity, he can already play very resolutely. It is no longer like when he first entered the league, after getting the ball, he always had to think a little bit before making a decision.

For a team that wants to go further, this kind of confident execution is definitely very valuable.

Compared with the Bobcats' offense, the Pistons still continued their style of play this season.

On the offensive end, Hamilton kept running in the half court, using his teammates' screens to create opportunities as much as possible.

Even if no chance is created, it often consumes a lot of physical strength of the defender.

Daben used his excellent movement speed to carry out a pick-and-roll outside the three-point line. After the pick-and-roll, he hurriedly fell to the low post, trying to get in position and grab offensive rebounds.

The main offensive options of the entire Pistons basically come from the big-hearted Billups' shots.

In terms of offensive ratio, apart from Hamilton, Billups and Rasheed Wallace have a higher proportion...
