Chapter 159 Targeted Defense
Cleveland Cavaliers starters: Limbo, Ira Nubell, LeBron James, Carlos Boozer, Ilgauskas.
Dallas Mavericks starters: Steve Nash, Marquese Daniels, Michael Finley, Dirk Nowitzki, Antawn Walker.
The Cavaliers started with the five Tigers. Whenever Limbo and James played, the fans always cheered.
Ling Bo smiled at Jiang Chaoxue in the auditorium, she also clenched her fists in response, asking Ling Bo to cheer, Jiang Lixin did not come to the scene today, which made Jiang Chaoxue more relaxed.
The two sides jumped the ball, and Ilgauskas bullied Antoine Walker for his lack of height. With a light jump and a tap of his finger, the Cavaliers won the offensive ball.
It was the first time Ling Bo faced Steve Nash head-to-head. One was the biggest dark horse of the season, the MVP among rookies, and the other was one of the most improved players in the past two years.
After Ling Bo played for half a season, he was able to compete head-on with Nash, which Nash himself admired very much.Not only Nash, but others also have to say a word of admiration.
Be it Kobe, McGrady, or Iverson, even if they are not friendly to Chauncey Billups, Ricky Davis and others, after learning about Ling Bo's deeds, they are still very shocked. Played to the level of the league's top point guard this season.
Shock is shock, admiration is admiration. Nash is not a soldier who surrenders without a fight on the basketball court.
Ling Bo accelerated, Ling Bo went inside, and Ling Bo made a layup.
Even Ling Bo himself couldn't believe that his offense could be so easy and freehand. The fans at the scene don't care whether you are relaxed or uncomfortable. Anyway, the home team scored a goal, so they should yell.
The stadium is like a battlefield, which is like the soldiers of the two armies opening up the battle. The atmosphere is extremely tense. As long as the coach gives an order, the two sides will fight hard.
But this one person and one rider easily entered the enemy's formation, killed the opponent's general in full view, and then walked away.
"Great!" Steve Nash said with a smile.
Awesome, what about your defense?
Just defending like this, Xia Liu can score easily, okay?
Is this learning from the Spurs, what kind of plan A is testing, and plan B is changing defenses?
The Mavericks attack, Nash quickly dribbles across the field, Ling Bo defends frontally, lowers the center of gravity of the body, gathers internal strength on the soles of the feet, and is ready to deal with Nash's sudden attack at any time.
Nash dribbled the ball on the spot for three seconds, then suddenly started, and rushed out like an arrow off the string. How fast Lingbo reacted, how fast Lingbo took micro-steps, the eyes of the audience couldn't keep up with the speed of the transfer .
Nash's offensive line was cut off and he passed the ball to Michael Finley. Finley and James fought for two seconds to complete a mid-range shot.
Nash's instant reaction was also very fast. When Ling Bo successfully defended and appeared in his own offensive line, he immediately improved his attack and turned it into a pass.
This is a skill that a defender must master. According to the situation he is facing, he can react instantly to make the right choice.
The Cavaliers attacked again. When James received a pass from Limbo, he broke through the inside and was only slightly blocked.
James looked at Ling Bo with question marks all over his face, and Ling Bo spread his hands and said, I don't know, how could it be so easy.
The two sides launched a confrontation battle, and Nash once again gave the ball to Dirk Nowitzki, who hit a mid-range jumper.
As I said before the game, Carlos Boozer can't guard Nowitzki. I can only hope that Nowitzki's shots will not be so accurate under Boozer's interference, otherwise the German chariot will , the Cavaliers are really hard to deal with.
If Nowitzki is attacking at the basket, Boozer can still rely on his physical fitness to forcibly defend. If Nowitzki keeps using jump shots, especially with golden rooster, let alone Boozer, even Duncan and Garnett Difficult to defend.
This is why Nowitzki has been able to increase his scoring average in the past two years at a rocket rate, and it is also the reason for his rapid rise.
The Cavaliers naturally have their own offensive methods. The application of the triangle offense is becoming more and more proficient.
The Big Three and the Three Musketeers launched a confrontation at the beginning of the game. The Cavaliers mainly focused on breakthroughs, while the Mavericks mainly focused on shooting after breakthroughs.
The scores of the two sides rose alternately in the first quarter, and the game went on smoothly, like a lake with blue waves. Occasionally, there was a ripple, and the game entered an official timeout.
"Why are they so lax defensively?" Carlos Boozer asked, which is what James wanted to ask.
"I don't know. Although Nash is fast, his defense is much inferior to that of Jason Kidd." Ling Bo shook his head and said.
Before Limbo's rise, Kidd was the most comprehensive point guard in the league. He was known as the triple-double king, scoring, rebounding, and assisting in double figures.Nash is still inferior in comparison, after all, Kidd is a veteran of nearly ten years.
"Listen, guys," Mark Osorsky said, "Steve Nash is good at fast breaks, defense has always been a problem, Dirk Nowitzki is good at jumpers, but his style of play is still soft, Michael -Finley's weakness is that he is not good at breakthrough, although he is very active in defense, he lacks the domineering, so his defense will cause trouble, but it will not cause a lot of trouble."
The Cavaliers members nodded again and again, Mark was right.
"So, next, we have to strengthen our defense. Our offense and defense are more balanced than theirs. They are strong offensively and weak defensively, understand?" Mark Osorski continued.
Carlos Boozer nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said, "I understand, I understand."
"Ling, then you continue to defend against Steve's breakthrough, and make him as uncomfortable as you can."
Ling Bo said, "Understood."
"LeBron, you just need to guard against Michael Finley's shots. I said he is not good at breakthroughs, but it's not that he can't make breakthroughs, so be careful and prioritize defense."
"No problem," James said.
Seeing that Osorski looked at him, but kept silent, Carlos Boozer couldn't help asking: "Coach Mark, what about me?"
Mark Osorsky frowned, then said, "As for you, whatever you want."
With question marks all over his face, Boozer hurriedly asked, "What do you mean casually? Is my defense just that good?"
Mark Osorsky: "Do you think your defense is good?"
Carlos Boozer has always been a very self-aware person. When Ossowski said something, his tone softened three points and said: "I, I think my defense still has a lot of room for improvement."
This is a man who can talk. To say that he defends well is bragging. To say that he defends hot chickens will be considered worthless. In this way, Boozer is saying that he is not good at defense, but he will work hard and have room for improvement. a lot of.
However, in terms of defense, personal height, jumping, and physical fitness are all very limited.
"As long as you are happy, try to interfere with Dirk's shooting, but pay attention to the number of fouls you make."
"Understood, Coach Mark." Boozer said with a smile.
