NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 300 Serious deviation!

If Will Barton can pass and cut freely and cooperate well with him, then their backcourt combination can smoothly speed up and increase the Knicks' offensive firepower by another 20%.

Don’t underestimate this 20%, it’s already amazing.

This means that on the basis of their original scoring, they can break through the shackles, or to be more precise, their tactical choices have become more and more abundant.

Like before, the connection between Xue Liancheng and Will Barton was very simple.

First, Will Barton came to respond.

Second, the ball passed by Xue Liancheng was fed into Will Barton's mouth.

Apart from these two points of linkage, there are basically very few others.

The two guns in the backcourt are not calling, which in itself is a very troublesome thing.

They can't execute many tactics, such as the simplest pick-and-roll.

Will Barton usually pulls aside after blocking someone, watching the play like a wooden stake, without moving at all.

Westbrook made 6 of 2 shots and only scored 5 points, but he had 4 assists.

If the Bucks didn't have PJ Tucker that season, the team that would make it out of the Eastern Conference would most likely be the Nets.

The tactics are messy and you need to adapt to your opponents.

Seeing that there are only three seconds left in the attack time.

For example, why substitute players generally perform less than expected, this is actually the reason.

Since they cannot coexist, they must be replaced resolutely. This is what he is thinking now.

Just overthinking.

In other words, there has been a serious deviation from what he originally expected.

It simply means that he has no tactical concepts, is outside of tactics, and has extremely poor tactical understanding.

The former is completely forceful and has little to do with Westbrook.

Will Barton's persistent attitude has long been noticed by others, and they immediately shrink their defenses and block their breakthrough space, making it impossible for Xue Liancheng to advance or retreat...

Durant was clearly naming Xue Liancheng.

Once I got used to it, oh well... the first quarter was over.

Off-site attack and defense.

Because according to the normal rotation time, substitutions will be made in about the last two minutes of the first quarter.

Otherwise, if you keep making the No. signal throughout the game, even a fool will know what tactics you are executing.

Xue Liancheng ignored Durant and walked quickly around Lopez, then exchanged hands.

Xue Liancheng was so angry that he vomited blood.

This is why Xue Liancheng desperately encouraged Will Barton.

Anyway, no matter what it is, Will Barton is like a stone in a pit. Basically, after everything is said and done, he does whatever he has to do.

He made 4 of 2 shots and scored 7 points, plus 4 assists.

PJ Tucker's defense also made Durant uncomfortable.

If he really couldn't move, well...at this time, Will Barton would be able to think of Xue Liancheng.

There were more controversies in that series, such as Durant's big foot missing the buzzer-beater, Irving being stepped on by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Harden's continuous crotch pulling, etc.

Durant couldn't see the breakthrough, so he pulled back, and then waved for Robertson to pick and roll.

so……

Wade didn't understand it at the time and thought that doing so was not what a leader should be like.

Maybe the field of view is limited?

Maybe it’s limited by personality?

More of his direct assists come from actually feeding the ball into his mouth.

Durant just got up, and when he retreated, he met him face to face.

Durant took a tentative step with the ball, and suddenly accelerated.

As for the others?

Except for their three main offensive points, the performance of others was a bit sluggish.

of course.

The second point is PJ Tucker's defensive awareness, which is very restrained by Durant's offensive skills.

In fact, he and Tyronn Lue have talked about this issue many times and communicated with each other many times, but Will Barton just can't change it.

Durant couldn't break through and had to force a shot.

Lopez went down to the free throw line, picked up the ball, and ignored Westbrook, who was much shorter than him.

It would be even better if there were two fewer mistakes.

Xue Liancheng still focuses on passing, supplemented by offensive scoring.

Will Barton simply has a low golf IQ, a lack of understanding, and a lack of sensitivity to the court.

The punch was stretched out, but it felt like it hit the air.

This is why Lopez can become an All-Star.

At this time, Durant comes into play.

Two minutes is only five or six rounds, it happens in the blink of an eye.

Lopez's performance was obviously different. He was very clear about Xue Liancheng's intentions and fell quickly.

As expected, he immediately attracted double-teams.

When he chose to acquire Will Barton, he hoped to use his invincible vision and ability to read the game to develop Will Barton into a backcourt partner who can fit with him.

Whiteside is still pretty good at this stage. After the trade, the Thunder's ability to protect the frame has been strengthened and their rebounding has become more secure.

As for Will Barton, being chased by Xue Liancheng to feed him, he scored 6 points on 3 of 6 shots, which was okay.

Therefore... it is still necessary to respect the historical trajectory.

It can also be explained. In the historical trajectory, Will Barton also had to play the sixth man position during his peak period.

……

When Xue Liancheng saw something was wrong with the ball, he immediately withdrew and reorganized.

Lopez relied on his height and tonnage advantage to instantly attract the defense, but he did not take action rashly. Instead, he used his own ability to attract the defense and passed it inside to Crowder who came in.

He feels that Will Barton is hopeless and is only suitable for disrupting battles, only suitable for defensive counterattacks, and only suitable for being reckless with the ball.

And the game continues.

The person who defended Robertson was Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng secretly decided to find another opportunity to cooperate with Will Barton in the next round.

As long as they have the 50% level they had when partnering with Wade during the Heat, the Knicks will have a lot to do this season.

What are Durant's strengths?

People who are taller than him are not as fast as him, and people who are faster than him are not as tall as him. Coupled with his soft touch, scoring is as easy as picking out objects.

This time, Lopez was asked to come up for the pick-and-roll, and he still used the No. tactic.

But where does all this rest?

It's a cylinder, or if the continuity of the entire shot is not interrupted, Durant can kill without distinction.

I never expected that Will Barton, a fool, would even forget his own tactical gestures.

This is how Durant's stand-up singles came about. Problems that are outside the system but cannot be solved within the system require Durant.

Now Will Barton finally has some signs of enlightenment.

If Donovan consumes Durant like this, then their chances in this game will be great.

If tactics can't solve the problem, then let the king bomb it.

With a slight hook of his big hook, the ball fell into the frame.

Very silky…

Mmm... it's delicious!

Scoring easily and effortlessly, with a guaranteed hit rate, what other offensive method is better than this?

Xue Liancheng's goal is to guide Will Barton to replace Wade.

For the first time, Xue Liancheng considered changing his backcourt partner.

He immediately returned to defense.

result.

Totally hopeless.

It would definitely be very embarrassing if it falls at the end of the game.

then.

Lopez thrived in this game, contributing 10 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter alone.

This kind of talent is invisible and intangible. If you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, it's hard to touch.

Now he discovered that this was not the case at all.

This is a signal gesture, which is the second plan for executing the pick-and-roll - after blocking the man, immediately move down.

Rush in suddenly.

At the same time, following Xue Liancheng's assault rhythm, the space was immediately torn out.

But Xue Liancheng was not panicked at all.

Just like he told Wade last season, let Wade give up some unnecessary defense and go to the frontcourt to be the arrow of defensive counterattack.

At unusual times, leave it to Durant and let Durant solve the problem.

There are also 4 assists, but Xue Liancheng's assists are still very different from Westbrook's.

It's still not long into the first quarter, and Durant can still rely on his waist to become one, his shooting consistency is still there, and he can maintain a certain efficiency.

But if Will Barton is replaced, who can be replaced?

This is a serious question.

Facts have proved that Durant is indeed strong.

Especially since the Knicks currently have a very deep lineup, the functions of many players have actually been wasted.

Xue Liancheng advanced with the ball and signaled Will Barton to play a pick-and-roll with him.

The latter is the pie made by Westbrook, and he does it pretty well.

It can’t be said that I have completely forgotten it. Will Barton did pass after blocking the man, but... this guy was going back three times in one step, as if he was afraid that Xue Liancheng would pass the ball and hit him on the back of the head. of.

The ability to solve problems through hard work can never be replaced.

This hard-solving ability is indeed of a historical level, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

So this round.

After more than ten games, Xue Liancheng still feels that playing pick-and-roll with Lopez is the most comfortable.

Because Robertson basically had no three-point threat, Xue Liancheng delayed Durant for the first time, and then quickly turned back to follow Robertson, not giving Durant a chance at all.

Cole, for example, is very smart. He focuses on tactics during regular time and focuses on Curry's movement without the ball to create space.

And now.

That's right!

The most important thing is that Whiteside's pie-eating ability is actually no weaker than Ibaka.

Because PJ Tucker's lower body is stable, the physical confrontation against Durant will make Durant's center of gravity unstable. After all, Durant is too tall, and even with a certain amount of strength, he cannot withstand the bottom.

There is no good or bad way to play singles with a stick, it all depends on how the coach uses it.

Every opponent is different, the tactics are different, and the rhythm is different. Every player needs a period of adaptation after coming up.

But this is not the case with Will Barton.

Lopez also has a very soft touch and very comprehensive offensive methods.

This is purely due to low golf quotient.

Xue Liancheng: "It's great! He deserves to be the four-time scoring champion, but...you can't win the championship by playing like this. If you don't mind, you can come to New York and I'll teach you how to win the championship."

And PJ Tucker happens to be one of the defensive players who can violate Durant's cylinder and interrupt the continuity of Durant's shooting.

<divclass="contentadv">This will be reflected in the future showdown between the Bucks and Nets.

Xue Liancheng: "You!"

Although Durant is as thin as a bamboo pole, he is actually very flexible in his breakthrough steps. He wants to get into the paint while confronting PJ Tucker.

and so……

In fact, Lopez can shoot by himself, but when he sees that his teammates have better opportunities, he can immediately issue instructions in his mind, make choices, and let his teammates finish.

And now, this headgear can also be buckled on Durant's head.

Now let’s see…

He forced himself against PJ Tucker's defense and scored the ball.

The game continues.

These thoughts are just fleeting.

For example, Nash made such a stupid mistake. The three tactics of the Big Three perfectly balanced the game, but it led to the fragmentation of the team.

But Durant, as a surfing prince, is not a vegetarian. He immediately changed the subject, "Xue, I haven't seen you for a season. You don't seem to have changed much. You are still so timid. Please answer the question directly. Who is the player with the best score?" .”

of course.

This credit must be credited to PJ Tucker.

After falling into a positional battle, Westbrook's aggressiveness will be greatly reduced. Apart from pick-and-rolls or quick starts, Westbrook has no outstanding hard solutions.

Durant immediately suppressed all the words.

But in order to remain competitive, less than half of the playing time between the two is staggered. What he is thinking now is whether he should consider staggering with Will Barton and partnering with Lopez again.

The only flaw is that there are no three-pointers and no independent offensive ability.

When Will Barton brought it up, Xue Liancheng stretched out two fingers.

As long as Will Barton tastes the sweetness, his deep-rooted stubborn thoughts will inevitably loosen.

Many substitute players go off again before they even have a chance to touch the ball. What good feel and condition can they have?

This is basically the principle.

Xue Liancheng took this opportunity to play the ball.

In this round, Durant once again ate PJ Tucker alive, and still succeeded.

Players who have never been able to prove themselves must have irreparable flaws of one kind or another.

But conventional scoring, conventional tactics, some transition coordination, some assault coordination, and some continuous rotation coordination must be kept up.

For example, David West's low-post skills have not been specifically used at the moment, and they may be a big weapon in the playoffs.

He also finally understood a truth, that is, players who have proven themselves in history are absolutely indistinguishable.

Xue Liancheng has already thrown the ball, and Lopez is the one who responds.

Xue Liancheng advanced with the ball.

This is Xue Liancheng's current thinking.

The four-time scoring champion's style is clearly visible.

Anyway, the possibility of being nurtured is almost zero.

It's a pity that Adu chose the wrong person this time.

And at the same time.

And these thoughts are only filtered once in my mind.

As for the Heat.

Westbrook and Whiteside cooperated, and the former assisted the latter for a dunk.

Because the Thunder's defensive counterattack is also the best in the league. Westbrook's offensive style is somewhat similar to James. Once he rushes forward, he is really unstoppable.

Durant made 11 of 5 shots and scored 15 points in a single quarter, accounting for almost half of the team's scores.

It is to use each other's deterrence to create a larger space.

After all, Will Barton is physically gifted! Singles technique! Personal ability! In fact, they are all very good. Even the organization of passes and single defense and assist defense have been verified.

Otherwise, the entire backcourt will be disconnected and everyone will play their own role, making it basically difficult to go far.

This is also normal.

Except for small throws to the left and right, it is a cake-eating machine, a pure human shield machine.

Durant exclaimed, "Xue, did you see that? This is the correct way to score."

That’s the benefit of Durant’s plug-and-play attributes.

Two of them were given to Durant, and the remaining two were given to Whiteside.

They must be in position immediately so that Westbrook has no chance to take advantage of him.

This is the embodiment of golf intelligence.

When defensive counterattacks averaged several points per game for Wade, the situation suddenly changed.

This is the first point.

Previously, Xue Liancheng thought that he could be saved, or that Will Barton just had a personality problem, and as long as he was guided well, he would definitely be able to change it.

Like indirect assists, there are even more. Basically, there are countless in one game.

Between the back and forth attacks, knowing how to cooperate with Xue Liancheng is definitely a qualitative improvement for the Knicks' offense.

The interaction between the two is so bad.

Signal gestures are not fixed.

Durant had no choice but to step back and choose a strong shot.

This is why Will Barton has good physical talent and superb skills, but his draft pick is so low.

But if you use Durant as the starting point of the offense, or the axis of the offense, it will be like selling the sheep's head to the dog's meat.

……

But people have overlooked one thing, and that is PJ Tucker's entanglement with Durant, which caused Durant to lose a lot of physical strength. From this, a famous saying was born: Death only comes in Golden State.

It is already very rare to reach the second round of the playoffs.

The latter scored an easy layup...

The first quarter ended with Durant's bombardment.

Durant, who had prepared countless words, was once again choked by Xue Liancheng's answer.

If his teammates don't take action, how can Xue Liancheng seize the opportunity?

Or Xue Liancheng helps block people, and Will Barton suddenly swipes the ball, not caring what Xue Liancheng is doing.

In other words, this pick-and-roll blocked a lonely situation.

Just like the TNT commentary team O'Neal blocked Barkley, "You don't have a championship" is enough to end any topic.

It is a pity that Durant's calculation was wrong again.

The score was 28:32, and the Thunder led by 4 points.

Although PJ Tucker is only 196cm tall, he is like a three-inch nail compared to Durant.

of course.

Xue Liancheng's pass was given instantly.

This is still the simplest pick-and-roll cooperation, let alone how bad the other exchanges are.

But PJ Tucker should be the best player to defend Durant, or the defensive player who makes Durant the most uncomfortable.

Durant's biggest advantage is in singles, that is, hard-hitting and strong kills. There is no need to consider other tactics at all.

Because in Brooklyn, Durant was made uncomfortable by PJ Tucker, and his efficiency was also very embarrassing, so he got this famous saying.

Off-site attack and defense.

His court sensitivity is very keen, and his ability to capture space is equally good. Most importantly, Lopez understands Xue Liancheng's breakthrough intention very thoroughly.

A three-point turret like Ilyasova is actually quite useful.

But there are too many people who can be used, and many times, they don't have much playing time.

This may be the trouble for Tyronn Lue's happiness.
