The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 353 Adventurous Thoughts!
"Stop, there is a big problem with our defense here. Nicholas' position is too far back, which gives Butler a lot of room to shoot. It's too late for him to catch the ball and try to defend it!"

Everyone came to the arena early in the afternoon to study the video of the previous game together. Every time there was a problem, Pritchard would pause the video to point out the problem.

After carefully watching the game video, Xue Ding knew very well that the Mavericks' offensive tactics are actually not complicated.

The first is to let Kidd organize to find opportunities, and the others keep running and cutting. In the end, there is no chance to hand the ball to Nowitzki for him to play singles.

Although Nowitzki's performance in the second half of the last game was not good, he still used his strong offensive deterrence to attract the defensive attention of his side.

In this way, a lot of opportunities were given to others, and they all made the goals that should be scored.

"Also here, the lack of focus on the defense gave Marion a chance to cut directly to the basket, Kidd put the ball straight to the basket, and Marion scored easily from the basket!" Continue to watch the video Pritchard again After pausing, the previous round was replayed.

"Okay, now we've finished watching yesterday's game video. Although we still have some loopholes in defense, we can still pass the pass. It's just that our outside shooters didn't play well, which led to our loss in the first game. But it doesn't matter, I believe we will continue to win the next game!"

"Do you have any ideas after watching the game video, we can come and discuss with each other!" Pritchard said after watching the video, looking at the players sitting on the ground.

Andre Miller said: "I don't think we need to change our defensive strategy for the next game. Juwan has defended well in the second half and didn't give Nowitzki too many shots, so I think I think that in the next game, we only need to continue our previous defensive strategy, but we need to connect and run more with each other on the court. I believe that as long as we stay focused on the court, we can win the game!"

"That's right, as long as we stay focused on the court, we can win the game!" Brandon Roy also stood up and echoed.

Pritchard nodded after listening to the words of the old Miller and Roy, and his eyes stayed on Xue Ding. It was obvious that he wanted to hear the rookie's advice at this time.

After a season of competition, rookie Xue Ding's mature performance on the court and the spooky ideas that pop up from time to time can always have miraculous effects.

At this moment, Old Miller and Roy also fixed their eyes on Xue Ding.

Obviously the rookie Xue Ding has completely gained everyone's trust.

"For the next game, I think we should change our lineup, let Andre be the starting point guard, let Batum mark Dirk, and let Greg start!"

Having said that, Xue Ding paused intentionally, observed the expressions of everyone, and found that they did not intend to interrupt him, so he continued.

"Our advantage is that we can run and jump, so we have to bring up the rhythm on the field. Greg's movement is much faster than Chandler, so that we can make offensive and defensive transitions faster. We followed It is impossible for them to grind their positions on the court to win the game!"

"Xue, your idea is too avant-garde. You mean to give up the height of the inside line and increase mobility, so that Greg is the only real inside line on our field, and our inside line will be blown up! "Brandon Roy obviously had doubts after hearing Xue Ding's words.

Of course, it is normal for Brandon to have doubts. Although they also used such a small lineup during the regular season, the intensity of confrontation in the playoffs and the regular season is obviously different.

What's more, in the playoffs, both sides almost know the basics, and the defenses of both sides are also more targeted. Such a change is too risky.

If the game is lost again, then the Mavericks will get the match point.

Of course, Xue Ding understood Brandon's concerns. Xue Ding stood up, turned around and said to Roy: "Brandon, you are right, this is indeed a bit risky, but we must make changes, so that the change is unexpected. , Maybe they can win this game, they must not have imagined that we will change like this!"

Roy was right to stop Xue Ding. Now they really need to make changes. After all, Adelaide was injured and reimbursed for the season. It is really difficult to continue to compete with the Mavericks without a surprise move.

"Brandon, there is an old saying in China called wealth and wealth, which means that if you want to get what you want, you often need to take risks. Give it a try!" Xue Ding tried his best to persuade Bran den roy.

Roy looked at Xue Ding's firm eyes and finally nodded, choosing to believe in Xue Ding.

Although Andre Miller felt that Xue Ding's idea was indeed a bit risky, although he hadn't reached the desperate situation of going home after losing a game, he knew in his heart that the influence of not having Ade's inside line would be too great for them. Also thought it was worth taking a chance.

Pritchard saw that both Roy and Miller agreed with Xue Ding's idea of ​​taking risks, and decided to give it a try.

Although both sides played relatively stalemate in the first three games, in terms of personnel configuration and the overall state of the team, the Mavericks are better than the Trail Blazers.

As the series progresses and they get to know each other more and more, it will become more and more difficult for the Blazers to win the game.

Of course, if Adelaide is not injured, Pritchard has the confidence to kill the Mavericks.

But now he had to take the risk.

"Okay, then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll switch back to the previous lineup, and then we'll practice this new lineup!" Pritchard said after careful consideration, looking at Xue Ding.

After a while on the sidelines, the starters and the substitutes were divided into two teams and began to practice tactics.

Although there was no confrontation during the rehearsal, it was still a bit chaotic at the beginning, but after getting used to it gradually, the cooperation between each other became better and better.

Although there is a great disadvantage in the interior, the mobility of this lineup covers up this weakness very well. Chandler in the substitute lineup immediately came up as soon as he got the ball in the interior.

When Chandler's domineering spread, the advantage in mobility was brought out, even though Fernandez was shorted at the beginning.

When he caught the ball, Roy quickly blocked in front of him, without giving him any chance to shoot.

Fernandez took two steps in with the ball and passed the ball to Webster who cut to the basket.

"Snapped!"

Just when Webster was about to catch the ball for a layup, he suddenly felt his hand was empty, and the ball was cut off by Xue Ding, who had quick eyes and quick hands.

Xue Ding took the ball to ride the dust, counterattacked one-stop, and scored the ball steadily!
