basketball behind the spotlight

Chapter 176
But the Wolves' style of play and tactics still exceeded everyone's expectations. They still used the full-court press, and at the beginning, they used the tallest Gao Jun to interfere with the opponent's serve. The Grizzlies were caught off guard.

Delong who was serving was covered by Gao Jun so much that he couldn't see anything clearly, and he didn't dare to serve casually. Seeing that the time for serving was approaching, he could only apply for a timeout.

The audience immediately booed.

Brad frowned even more, so he wasted a timeout opportunity, which made him quite unhappy.

Lan Feng and the others ended with a laugh.

Lu Ziqiu gave Gao Jun a thumbs up. This time it was not arranged by him, but Gao Jun used his own brain. This kind of player who is good at using brains is also deeply liked by him.

Gao Jun made a smirk, and explained: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, I just wanted to prevent the opponent from easily throwing the ball."

"You did a good job." Lu Ziqiu praised sincerely, and continued: "The Grizzlies will change the serve, you continue to interfere, after the ball is sent, you don't rush to retreat, defend their server on the spot, don't Make it easy for him at halftime."

"Ok."

"Lan Feng, you and Gao Jun don't easily switch to their outside line, you just keep an eye on their inside line, don't let them fall into the low position easily."

The two nodded heavily.

"Okay, the others will continue to execute according to the original plan, let's go up."

The game restarted, and the Grizzlies switched to center Markkinson to serve. Gao Jun still stepped forward to interfere, but Markkinson was tall enough after all. Although Gao Jun could barely interfere with him, he still sent the ball steadily.

But Gao Jun ignored him, and still followed closely beside Markkinson, wherever Markkinson went, he followed.

The full-court press effect of this lineup is far less than that of the previous lineup, so the Grizzlies have no difficulty pushing through the half court.

But just after halftime, the Wolves suddenly flanked Lee, who was holding the ball.

Li's experience is not bad, he didn't stop the ball in a panic, but he has been forced like this. If others don't come to respond in time, he will be forced to the corner, and it will be difficult to stop the ball.

During normal training, Lu Ziqiu often asked them to increase the training of pinching the ball holder, so everyone else knew how to cooperate and how to cut off the opponent's passing route, so how could it be so easy for Li to play the ball?

Finally, the Grizzlies had players who got rid of the defense and responded.

As soon as Li passed the ball, the players of the Wolves immediately switched positions. Lan Feng and Gao Jun immediately returned to the free throw line to defend the opponent's center, preventing them from easily falling to the low post.

Others began man-to-man defense, trying to drive the opponent's ball holder to the corner.

Once the Grizzlies pick and roll, they immediately double-teamed, forcing the Grizzlies' offense to come to a complete standstill.

The tactics were disrupted, and they could only hoist the ball into the inside again.

But Lan Feng and Gao Jun have height and weight after all, it is not so easy for Markkinson and Andre to do the same movements as before.

Especially Gao Jun, his height and weight are most suitable for carrying a tall center forward.

Andre pushed him for a long time, but he couldn't push him. He wanted to shoot but was too far from the basket. He wanted to pass inside, but the line was completely strangled by Lan Feng. If he passed it rashly, it might be cut off.

In desperation, he could only return the ball to the outside. Without the ball, it was more difficult for Gao Jun to stop him.

But the time is running out, if the Grizzlies give the inside line again, they will definitely violate the timeout.

Green couldn't stand Lu Qian, so he could only force a three-pointer when he had no chance at all.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of entering the net almost extinguished the enthusiasm of all the audience.

With such a shitty shooting action, the ball actually went into the net hollow. Is this luck?

As soon as the goal was scored, the score was tied.

Even Green, who was shooting the ball, couldn't believe it. When he made the shot just now, he threw it completely by feeling. Can this make it?

Lu Ziqiu blew his whistle to signal the team members not to care.

"Damn it, you can get in here." Lu Qian muttered dumbfounded.

Green pretended to spread his hands.

Lu Qian also admitted it at first, but when he saw his action, he suddenly became angry, "Boy, I advise you not to act aggressive in front of brother, unless you want to try brother's fist."

Green shrank his neck, not daring to answer, and hurriedly ran back to the half court to defend.

All the players in the league know that if you mess with anyone, don't mess with Lu Qian, a thug. He is an invincible player in the league.

But if you don't really beat the invincible players all over the alliance, you don't know. At least until now, no one can withstand his iron fist for the time being.

The ensuing game was full of muscular collisions, especially the four inside players, whose position grabbing almost became the focus of the audience.

The score has been anxious because of this, and no one can pull the opponent away.

But in this way, the two centers of the Grizzlies consumed a lot of energy. By the time the game reached 9 minutes, both of them were exhausted and out of breath.

Brad originally wanted to keep one player on the field to lead the rotation, but seeing them like that, even if they stayed on it, it would only increase fouls. After all, they can't keep up with the Wolves' rhythm at all.

Only now did he understand that Lu Ziqiu's purpose was to fight a war of attrition, using a group of insiders to consume their two main centers.

But even though he knew that he had been tricked, he had no choice but to replace the two of them and Green.

Green has been stared at by Lu Qian ever since he pretended to be aggressive. Although Lu Qian is slow in defense, Green has almost no ability to break through with the ball. The defense is not under pressure, and the offense is to hit Green as soon as he gets the ball. , using the most primitive way of hand-to-hand combat, beat Green to the point of pain.

Lu Ziqiu also made substitutions, went up and down five times, and specifically told Xiao Zhi, "If the opponent's No. 20 player is on the field, just keep an eye on him, no matter where he goes." Only Xiao Zhizhi is perfectly capable of this kind of tactics.

Xiaozhi's eyes flashed and he nodded heavily.

Usually when the coach asks him to do this, he basically marks the opponent's arrows. Now he is asked to use this method to deal with the opponent's rotation players. He has no pressure at all.

Xiaozhi is like this, he doesn't care about the offense, he doesn't watch the ball at all, he just stares at David when he comes on the court, no matter where he goes or runs, even if it's a pick-and-roll, he will try his best to avoid the pick-and-roll, and then Quickly replaced his teammates and continued to mark David.

This kind of treatment that only stars have, but it fell to a second-year rookie today. This should be something to be proud of. After all, not many rookies can be targeted like this.

But David swears that these few minutes are definitely the saddest in his playing history. He only touched the ball twice in 3 minutes, and all other statistics are zero. It feels completely isolated.

He hates and wants to cry, what kind of fucking team is this?He doesn't want this kind of treatment. Even if he is asked to hold the ball, he doesn't ask for breakthroughs, assists, or points, but just touch the ball more. Why is it so difficult?

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first quarter, he even felt relieved, and he didn't even want to play again.
