Chapter 64 Experimental New Lineup

Howard is changing.

When he was in the Hornets, he had a quarrel with his teammates. It was also a problem of defending the pick-and-roll. His teammates hoped that Howard could post it, and Howard hoped that his teammates would work harder to stay there without being blocked.

But this time Walbeer is also a person who doesn't like to squeeze through the defense, so he has to stick to the big defense and the small defense. Yes, his defense is very strong, but it is more reflected in the low defense and assist defense rather than Big against small.

In fact, any big man doesn't like to guard a small man.

But Mu Xiaobei has already hit the fourth three-pointer from outside the three-point line. After the pick-and-roll, Mu Xiaobei does nothing, just cuts outside the three-point line and waits, as if the ball is passing and passing. Here I am, and at this time I happen to be emptied, you say it's a coincidence, Mu Xiaobei has always done a good job in the technique of catching and shooting open.

Coach Brooks asked for a timeout again, "Hey John, you have to squeeze through, don't always let Howard help you defend, you have to defend your own people."

"Markieff, next you go to defend Woodbell, Dwight pay attention to the position of supplementary defense."

Brooks explained one by one, looking at the nodding Wall, he wondered if Wall had listened.

Now there are 5 minutes left before the end of the first half, and the Spurs have already led by 11 points. Well, they are inexplicably leading to double digits.

The Wizards' offensive touch is very good, whether it is Wall's tandem organization, Bill's heads-up, Howard's pie, or the firepower provided by Morris and Porter for the team.

But the Spurs' offensive touch seems to be better, especially Mu Xiaobei, who made 24 of [-] shots from beyond the three-point line, made [-] of [-] shots in total, and scored [-] points with [-] of [-] free throws.

The most irritating thing is that Mu Xiaobei's 24 points were all obtained through dislocations, through pick-and-roll open shots and dislocation singles against Walbier.

The Spurs' current lineup is Jeremy Lin-Belinelli-Brock-Gay-Mu Xiaobei.

Another unconventional lineup, Popovich is going to use the last few games of the regular season to experiment with various lineups and various styles of play.

This lineup makes it difficult for Belinelli and Guy Bullock to make unlimited air cuts, but it can open up the space very much, giving Jeremy Lin a lot of room to break through, and it can also give Mu Xiaobei more room for post-up singles. There is a lot of leeway.

"John, look at how Austin defends when he is on the court. You have to learn to squeeze over and defend if you really want to lead the Wizards to the Eastern Conference Finals or even the Finals." Brooks said.

Sure enough, when Jeremy Lin followed Mu Xiaobei to the basket with a pick-and-roll, Rivers actually squeezed in and blocked the side between Jeremy Lin and the basket, while Morris was able to directly defend only Mu Xiaobei. just fine.

When Mu Xiaobei received Jeremy Lin's ground pass, he didn't go straight up, but took a dribble and took a step back.

Morris didn't expect this operation. He thought that Mu Xiaobei would run over him with his height and throw it high, but he didn't expect Mu Xiaobei to make a step-back jump shot like a guard.

Swah——

The ball went into the net hollow, and Mu Xiaobei scored two more points.

"Good shots, Mu Xiaobei's offensive skills are really rich, and through these few games, we found that not only Mu Xiaobei, but many Spurs players are avoiding confrontation intentionally or unintentionally. Prepare for the upcoming playoffs," Ke Fan said.

"Yes, the Spurs are now third in the West, but the rankings of 12, [-], [-], [-] in the West are still changing every day. After the West, the Warriors, Rockets, Spurs, Nuggets, and Jazz are the five teams that are guaranteed to enter the playoffs. Competition, this year's Western Conference is really full of fights." Yang Yi said.

"It wasn't that year?" Ke Fan joked.

The Spurs' lineup is a bit weaker on the defensive end, so Mu Xiaobei needs to bear more responsibilities on the defensive end.

Little Rivers has always been said to be relying on his father, but Rivers last season should have been the best season of the former No. [-] high school student in the United States, whether it is his three-pointers on the offensive end Both the rate and the number of assists are career highs, and the steals have also reached a career high. He is already a very mature player.

Rivers is more based on his sharp first breakthrough and subsequent end in this league. Well, that is, his single-handed ability. In the Wizards as the sixth man and Oubre, Jeff Green partnered him Plays very comfortably.

Little Rivers waved his hand and didn't want to pick and roll, but kept thinking about getting past Jeremy Lin.

Rivers takes a step to the right and shakes his shoulders.

left!

Mu Xiaobei made a judgment in an instant. This crossover's pre-movement is too obvious, and it is easy for outsiders to spot it, but it is the most effective move to shake off the defender.

Rivers threw off half of Jeremy Lin from the left, but looked up and saw Mu Xiaobei who was defending.

A base pass, Mu Xiaobei didn't panic, he knew that Morris must be defended by Guy, but this time Mu Xiaobei was wrong, well, actually he was right.

Jeff Green received the pass, took a step and glided directly to make a dunk.

Boom - The hoop in Washington seemed to be crumbling, and the fans applauded and cheered for the show.

Mu Xiaobei was detained again, this time it was a player with a basic salary.

But Mu Xiaobei respects this player, Jeff Green, and his story inspires many people, just like Livingston, Channing Frye and others, he is warm and passionate.

This time, Mu Xiaobei did not pick and roll for Jeremy Lin, but turned his back to ask for the ball.

In this lineup, or in the lineup without Adelaide, Mu Xiaobei is the absolute core.

Morris's height of 2.06 can be anywhere from four to five, and he can even play the third position. Well, I mean his defense can defend both big and small players.

Mu Xiaobei pushed in twice, then turned around and jumped forward, raised his arm, took a step forward with his right foot after flying Morris, then jumped with both feet at the same time, stretched his arms forward as much as possible, and kept his hands away from the basket. The position of the basket is very close, and the basketball is put in very lightly with a light pick.

"Good shot Mu Xiaobei!" Ke Fan said, "It's a bit like Kobe Bryant, but the ball is handled really delicately."

Domestic commentators seldom talk about players playing badly, and prefer to talk about players playing well, especially for Mu Xiaobei.

Rivers dribbled the ball continuously, Oubre came out, caught the ball and shot directly.

Duang——

The ball went out of the basket, and Mu Xiaobei protected the rebound.

The Spurs' offense is still Mu Xiaobei's singles, Mu Xiaobei's back. This time Jeff Green came to help defend and double-team, and Mu Xiaobei passed the ball to Jeremy Lin at the top of the arc.

Jeremy Lin found Belinelli, and Belinelli gave it to Guy who was walking towards the basket. Mu Xiaobei made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Belinelli. The ball is shot directly.

shhhhh--

The three-pointer hit again.

Although the Spurs' defense is full of energy, it is true that there are too many veterans, allowing the Wizards to succeed in a row.

However, the Spurs' Mu Xiaobei scored from the inside and Belinelli fired continuously from outside the three-point line. .
