The Cruelty of the NBA - Chapter 353
“Stop, here we have a big problem with our defense. Nicolas’ position is too late, giving Butler a lot of shot space. It’s too late to wait until he catches the ball and wants to defend!”
Everyone came to the arena early this afternoon to study the video of the last game together. Whenever there was a problem, Pritchard suspended the video and pointed out the problem.
After carefully watching the game video, Xue Ding knew that the Mavericks’ offensive tactics were actually not complicated.
The first is to let Kidd look for opportunities. Others are constantly running and cutting, and finally there is no chance to hand the ball to Nowitzki to let him single.
Although Nowitzki did not perform well in the second half of the previous game, he still used his strong offensive deterrence to attract defensive attention on his side.
This gives other people a lot of opportunities, and they all throw the ball they should score.
“There is also here, the defensive attention is not concentrated, giving Marion the opportunity to directly cut the basket, Kidd put the ball straight into the basket, Marion scored easily under the basket!” Continue to watch the video Pritchard After pausing, I played back the previous round.
…
“Okay, now we have also watched yesterday’s game video. Although we still have some holes in our defense, we are still able to pass. It’s just that our outside shooter played abnormally, so it led to the loss of our first game. ! But it doesn’t matter, I believe we will continue to win back in the next game!”
“Do you have any thoughts after watching the game video, we can come and discuss with each other!” Pritchard said after watching the video, watching the players sitting on the ground.
Andre Miller said: “I think our defensive strategy does not need to be changed in the next game. Zhu Wan has defended well in the second half, and did not give Nowitzki too many shots, so I I think we only need to continue our previous defensive strategy in the next game, but we need more contact and running between each other on the field. I believe that as long as we stay focused on the field, we can win the game!”
“Yes, we just need to stay focused on the field and we can win the game!” Brandon Roy also stood up and agreed.
Pritchard nodded after listening to the words of old Miller and Roy. His eyes stayed on Xue Ding. Obviously he wanted to listen to this rookie’s suggestion at this time.
After a season of competition, rookie Xue Ding’s mature performance on the field and the ghost ideas that come up from time to time can always be effective.
At this time, Old Miller and Roy also focused on Xue Ding.
Obviously, rookie Xue Ding has been fully trusted by everyone.
“In the next game, I think we should change our lineup, make Andre the starting point guard, let Batum mark Dirk, and let Greg start!”
Speaking of this, Xue Ding paused intentionally, observed the expressions of the people, and found that they didn’t want to interrupt him, so they continued.
“Our advantage is that we can run and jump, so we have to bring the rhythm on the field. Greg moves much faster than Chandler, so that we can make offense and defense conversions faster. It is impossible for them to grind their positions on the field to win the game!”
“Xue, your idea is too avant-garde. What you mean is to give up the height of the inside and strengthen the mobility, so that the real inside of our field is only Greg, our inside will be exploded! “After Brandon Roy heard Xue Ding’s words, he clearly had doubts.
Of course it is normal for Brandon to have doubts. Although they used such a small lineup in the regular season, the playoffs and the regular season obviously have different strengths.
Moreover, in the playoffs, both sides know the bottom line, and the defense of the two sides is more targeted, so the change is too risky.
If this game is lost again, then the Mavericks will get the match point.
Xue Ding certainly understands Brandon’s concerns. Xue Ding stood up and turned to Roy, saying: “Brandon you are right, this is indeed a bit risky, but we have to make changes, and this is unexpected. Maybe they can still win this game, they must have thought that we would change like this!”
Roy stopped Xue Ding’s words and was right. Now they really need to make a change. After all, Ade is reimbursed for the injury season. It is really difficult to continue to compete with the Mavericks without surprising moves.
“Brandon, we have an old saying in China that we want to be rich and expensive, which means that to get what you want, we often need to be in danger. Try it!” Xue Ding tried to persuade Bran. Den Roy.
Roy looked at Xue Ding’s firm eyes and finally nodded, choosing to trust Xue Ding.
Although Andre Miller felt that Xue Ding’s idea was indeed a bit risky, but although he has not yet reached the desperate situation of losing a home, but he knows clearly that without Ade’s insider, the impact on them is too great. Also think that you can take a risk.
Pritchard saw Roy and Miller agree with Xue Ding’s risky idea, and decided to give it a try.
Although the first three games of the two sides played relatively stalemate, but in terms of staffing and the overall state of the team, the Mavericks are to beat the Blazers.
As the series goes deeper and more and more understand each other, it will become more and more difficult for the Blazers to win the game.
Of course, if Adelaide does not hurt, Pritchard has the confidence to kill the Mavericks.
But now he had to be in danger.
“Okay, let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we will switch back to the previous lineup. Next, we will practice this new lineup!” Pritchard said after looking at Xue Ding.
After a short time on the sidelines, the starter and substitute were divided into two teams to start practicing tactics.
Although there was no confrontation during the drill~www.mtlnovel.com~, it was a bit chaotic on the field at the beginning, but after gradually getting used to it, the cooperation with each other became better and better.
Although there is a big disadvantage in the inside, the maneuverability of this lineup is very good to cover up this weakness. Chandler in the bench lineup came up as soon as he caught the ball inside.
When Chandler’s dominance spreads, the advantage in mobility comes out, even though Fernandes was initially emptied.
While he was receiving the ball, Roy quickly blocked him in front of him and did not give him any chance to shoot.
Fernandes took two steps inwards with the ball and passed it to Webster who cut it to the basket.
“Snapped!”
Just as Webster was catching the ball and preparing for a layup, he suddenly felt his hands empty and the ball was cut off by the fast-moving Xue Ding.
Xue Ding took the ball and rode the dust, fought back a dragon, and scored the ball steadily!
