Chapter 302 [Double pick and roll, hit outside! 】
Abandoning the plan to trade Iverson, the Bobcats put all their energy in the game.Entering the first game in December, the Bobcats beat the visiting Spurs 12-102 at home.
The Spurs are still strong this season. The GDP combination of Ginobili, Duncan, and Parker can beat most teams in the league, but with the retirement of veterans Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry, it is difficult for the Spurs to hit the championship.
The Bobcats won easily, but Camby injured his left little finger while defending Duncan. After examination, the little finger was fractured and needed a bone implant surgery. The specific time to recover from the injury depends on the operation.At least 6 weeks will also be absent.
Camby is a well-known glass man in the league. As if he was cursed, he was frequently attacked by injuries.Knees, arms, shoulders, hips, and now the fingers...
Fortunately, the Bobcats lineup is the strongest inside, do not worry about the lack of Camby no one available.
On December 12, the Bobcats played against the Phoenix Suns back-to-back at home.
If it is the previous few seasons, playing the Suns back to back is considered a tough schedule.However, the Suns have fallen so badly this season that their record has fallen out of the top 8 in the Western Conference, and they have only achieved 7 wins and 9 losses so far.
Fans are still looking forward to this game, because the Suns are still a very strong offensive team.Who doesn't want to watch a high-scoring game?Last season, the Bobcats and the Suns played inextricably, and the winner was decided after overtime.Hayes had an oversized triple-double.Fans hope that Hayes can also play well this time.
The strength of the Suns is a bit worse than that of the Bobcats.After the new coach Terry Porter took office, he emphasized that the Suns should strengthen their defense, so the offensive speed has slowed down, but the Suns' defense has not been much stronger, but it has affected the performance of the players.Stoudemire's scoring average dropped by 4 points compared with last season, Nash's assists fell below 10, and almost all players were not adapted to Porter's offensive and defensive system.They averaged 109 points per game this season, second only to the Bobcats in the league.But the average conceded points reached 108.5 points. Except for the Warriors who conceded 112 points per game, the Suns are the worst defensive team.
Moreover, the Suns players also suffered injuries. Standa Meyer sprained his ankle in last week's game and will be absent for two weeks.The power forward position is almost unavailable, and Boris Diaw will also play power forward. The only substitutes are Luis Amanderson and marginal player Andre Brown.
In order to free up salary space, the Suns are also looking for a deal. They want to send Diaw with high salary and low energy, as well as defensive player Raja Bell. No one cares about it for the time being.
The Sun has no idea of beating the Bobcats at all. Their goal this season is just to make the playoffs.
Rondo, Weaver rest, Hill and Morrow into the rotation.The Bobcats dispatched all shooters, ready to combine inside and outside to defeat the sun.
D'Antoni knows the Suns very well. Although O'Neal is a strong inside scoring point, the Suns' offense is mainly fast break. O'Neal sits on the inside and is responsible for grabbing rebounds. The other four players launch fast breaks.The Bobcats therefore made targeted adjustments, and Marc Gasol entered the starting lineup for the first time.He has a lot of weight and good strength and can resist O'Neal.
Hayes is now mainly focusing on offense, so the task of defending against O'Neal has changed.In terms of confrontation, Gasol has an advantage over Lopez.
Bobcats starting: Billups, Durant, Wallace, Hayes, Gasol.
The Suns' starting lineup has also changed.Steve Nash, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, Louis Amanderson, Shaquille O'Neal.
Adelmanson entered the starting lineup because of Stoudemire's injury. He rebounded and defended well, but his offense was a mess and he did not have the strength to become a starter. This arrangement was purely helpless.
Nash shook hands with Hayes on the court, smiling a bit bitterly.Nash knew that the Suns were far away from the championship. After O'Neal arrived, his game was not as smooth as before.
O'Neal lost the jump ball to Gasol, the Sharks can hardly jump up now, and the jump ball can only rely on experience to beat the time difference.
Wallace receives the basketball and hands it to Billups.In the first round of the Bobcats' positional battle, the offensive method was the pick-and-roll and evacuated the inside line.Gasol pulled up to the high position, and Amanderson came out with the defense.Billups passed the ball to Durant, and Durant broke through from the right to the inside with Gasol's screen.Admanson's movement speed is good, blocking Durant's breakthrough route, but Durant has no intention of playing hard, he only needs to contain the defense.Hayes pulled out of the three-point line, and Wallace blocked Dior for Hayes at a 45-degree angle on the right.At this time, Hayes was completely emptied from the outside line, and O'Neal could only follow the outside line slowly.
When O'Neal stepped on the three-point line, Hayes had already made a three-pointer. 45 degree angle cast a wipe board hit! 3 to 0.The audience immediately gave a standing ovation.
Hayes has continued to practice shooting every day this season. His most accurate position is a 45-degree angle. If no one is defending, he is confident that he will win the game against Duncan when he shoots on the board. This position is very comfortable to shoot.
The Suns also played positional warfare, and Nash lobped O'Neal.O'Neill was greatly relieved when he saw that the man defending him was not Hayes.As long as he is playing against Hayes, O'Neal is extremely depressed. The difference in size between the two is too big, and it is more uncomfortable than other inside players not scoring in singles.The opponent was just Gasol, and O'Neal immediately backed up and dribbled the ball to the inside.He firmly believed that he could handle the Spaniard.
O'Neal just took two times, and suddenly a person came out behind Gasol.Hayes emptied Amanderson, double-teamed O'Neal, and hit the ball accurately with a palm.Gasol reached out to pick up the basketball and made the steal.O'Neal suddenly understood why Artest wanted to punch Hayes.
Gasol's passing ability has been recognized by the entire coaching staff and teammates.The first pass did not go through Billups, and the direct long pass was accurately handed over to Gerald Wallace, and Diaw followed Wallace.
Today I will let you see how powerful I am "Walking Alone" Gerrard.Wallace attacked with the ball, full of pride!
Wallace was very interested in Chinese Kung Fu. He envied Hayes for having the nickname "Black Whirlwind". One day he asked Hayes what light kung fu was the strongest, and wanted to give himself a famous nickname.Hayes told him that in Jin Yong's novel "Swordsman", there is a person who is very good at lightness kung fu, known as "Walking Alone". He can read that book and think about it.
Wallace happily said: "Don't look at it, the name is bold enough, this is it!" (Walking alone is Tian Boguang...)
Wallace's fast break speed is really fast, and his strength is also very strong, squeezing Dior to force a layup.Dior was so crowded that he couldn't take off at all, let alone block the shot. 5 to 0.
Amanderson pulls up high to screen for Nash.To say that the biggest weakness of the Suns now is shooting. Neither Adelmanson nor O'Neal can make mid-range shots.After Nash broke through, Hayes defended from the front, and Billups bypassed Amanderson to sandwich Nash from behind.Amanderson is completely shorted in the high post, so if you like to vote, go for it.
Nash also knew that it was useless to pass the ball back to the high post. He jumped up lightly and passed the ball with one hand to Raja Bell outside the left three-point line.Durant is facing Bell.Bell is not good at breakthroughs, and his offensive methods generally rely on running and catching jump shots. How can he shoot in front of Durant, a speedy 7-footer?He lobbed the ball to O'Neal who was asking for the ball in the low post.This time, Hayes has pulled to a high position, and O'Neill is not worried about Hayes coming back to double-team.Playing singles, Gasol arched into the penalty area.Even the old Sharks will not lose to anyone in the league in terms of strength, and Gasol from Europe is still a little softer.Squeezed in by O'Neill, he forcibly turned around successfully.
If it was O'Neal in his youth, he would definitely pull up and dunk vigorously in this position.But he is old, his explosive power is not as good as before, and he can only go to the basket for dunks, so he takes the ball and prepares to shoot with one hand.As soon as he got into position, Gasol fouled hard and knocked the ball down.
"It's so strong. I used to see Chuck defend him against him. I thought O'Neal's strength was average."Chuck is a monster! ' Gasol glanced at Hayes unconsciously.The coach's arrangement for him is to try to defend O'Neal as much as possible, and if the opponent successfully turns around and enters the penalty area, he will foul!
Gasol does not have to worry about encountering foul troubles, even if he fouls 6 times, the Bobcats still have Lopez and Bargnani.
O'Neal got to the free throw line and made one of two free throws.Hayes protected the backboard and the Bobcats attacked.
Bobcats offense is to rely on double pick and roll.Gasol pulled up to the high post, this time Billups didn't pass the ball, he used the cover to drive the ball into the inside, throwing off the defensive Nash, then passed Amanderson, and went straight to the basket.
O'Neill made up defense.Billups passed the ball out of the paint to Hayes, who had a Wallace screen to get away from Diaw.Wallace screened, Hayes ran back to catch the ball, the Bobcats had already used it twice, and the Suns just couldn't help it.Raja Bell came up from the weak side to cover Hayes.His height is not a disadvantage compared with Hayes.But Hayes did not shoot, but passed to Durant around him.The sun can only be defended by Nash against Durant.It's not much different from being unguarded.
Durant made a jumper from outside the three-point line! 8 to 1.
Except against the Lakers, the Bobcats are always the first-quarter opponents to lose.The sun is no exception.The defense can't be defended, and the offense can't do much.
O'Neal pulls to a high screen, and his size makes him better at blocking defenders.Nash broke through from the left and made an emergency stop jumper. Although Hayes let go of O'Neal for the first time, the defense was still a little slower.Go in! 8 to 3.
The Bobcats attacked, this time, Hayes still ran out of the three-point line, and Amanderson followed up.O'Neal followed Gasol to a high position.In contrast, Gasol is relatively easy to defend.But Gasol is not an option to attack, his purpose is to cover.
Billups used Gasol's high cover to break through with the ball, relying on speed to pass O'Neal and rush into the inside.O'Neal is too slow to keep up with Billups.Raja Bell had to defend from the weak side, otherwise Billups would easily layup.The reason why Bell has entered the best defensive team many times is that there are still two hits. He has a strong single-defense ability and a strong awareness of supplementary defense.But this supplement is missing people.
Billups quickly passed the ball outside.Durant caught the ball at a 60-degree angle and made another three-pointer! 11 to 1.
The Bobcats' double pick-and-roll offense easily broke through the Suns' zone defense.
