Chapter 381 [One wave, two weaknesses]

The Nets attacked, and the two inside sides gave cover to the outside teammates. The Wizards 122 defense station did not mark people, strictly guarded against breakthroughs, and interfered with shots nearby.Kidd's jumper missed under Wesley interference, and Jordan grabbed the rebound again.

The most terrifying thing about the old hooligan is his comprehensiveness. With his age and blue-collar rebounds, he doesn't suffer at all.

在他的季后赛生涯里，场均33.4分6.4篮板5.7助攻2.1抢断0.9盖帽，这还是他年轻时喜欢下快攻，不太爱抢后场篮板球的前提下拿到的数据。如果乔丹喜欢抢篮板球, 不会生涯单赛季场均最高数只有8个。

In the Wizards' positional battle, Boozer played the pick-and-roll first. After receiving the ball, he took the ball in the middle to organize and passed it to Maggette again.

Maggette, who got the dislocation opportunity, falsified the ball, changed direction to the left, passed Williams in one step, and went to the basket.

Williams is fast among power forwards and can keep up with Marshall, but Maggette is a strong swingman, and his speed is not at a disadvantage among small forwards. It is difficult to keep up with him in the interior.

Martin retreated in the middle to make up the defense, and Boozer was still a step behind when he shorted. Maggette dunked the basketball with his left hand. 4 to 0.

The Nets attacked, Kidd broke through and was double-teamed, and scored the ball to Williams, who received the ball from the bottom line and dribbled a step to Martin on the left, making a mistake.

Jordan judged Williams' passing route correctly, rushed to the basket and made a successful steal. He jumped out of the baseline and saved the ball. Hamilton received the ball and held it in his arms, waiting for Wesley to respond and stabilize the landing position.

Williams cut to the basket and was blocked by Boozer. At this time, his choice was very judgmental. He could only pass the ball to the inside or the outside on the other side. The chance of individual singles was very low.

The weakness of blue-collar appearances began to appear. Williams couldn't open space, and he screened on the perimeter, only blocking, not dismantling.

As long as Williams is far away from the basket, the Wizards will simply let him empty and double-team Kidd or Kittles to prevent them from taking easy shots.Jordan and Maggette retreated quickly, and their mobility was stronger than most of the inside.

The Wizards attacked, Boozer received the ball in the middle, and watched the movement of his teammates. The defender of Maggette became Martin.

Maggette failed to catch the ball and took a step to Hamilton, who gave the ball to Jordan, who had his back 60 degrees on the right and asked for the ball.

Jordan didn't stop holding the ball, turned to the middle and gave it to the basket, Boozer made an empty cut, turned his back to the right and entered the basket to catch the ball, and shook the ball with both hands.

Williams was losing weight and was afraid that he would force himself to eat, so he hurriedly jumped up and blocked the shot.

Boozer shook Williams, took a step forward, and threw against the opponent's right hand.Williams was arched away, and the foul was not held.Boozer hit the board to score, the referee blew the whistle, and the foul was 2+1.

The Nets' home fans booed neatly to interfere with the free throw, but Boozer was unmoved and even scored. 7 to 0.

The Nets attacked, Kidd attracted the defense and passed the left low, Martin singled Jordan, forcibly turned around and threw the ball in. 7 to 2.

The Wizards’ offense was still the same old routine. Boozer and Wesley picked and rolled. Wesley took the ball to the right without getting rid of Kidd, and passed the ball to Jordan at close range.

Jordan took the ball and turned around, leaning on Jackson to pass the ball lightly to the basket with one hand. As long as he can bring out a little passing space, it is enough to make a fortune.

Boozer made a deep cut in the air and turned to the left against Williams to catch the ball at the basket, attracting Martin to retreat and make up for defense.He took the ball in both hands and gave a slight pause, and took advantage of the situation to separate the periphery.

The speed of a player's progress has a lot to do with the environment he is in. Boozer has learned a lot from Laettner, Marshall and Jordan in the team. Now he can not only attack, but also break double teams.

Maggette was empty, and Kittles ran away with Hamilton, and it was too late to make up the defense.Maggette chose a more certain position to shoot, and made a mid-range shot from the 70-degree gap on the left. 9 to 2.

Smith shouted: "Boozer sent another assist. He played very well today. He has obvious advantages at the basket and is very strong."

Barkley laughed: "Jerry Young can always pick up treasures in the draft. Boozer's fall to the second round is seriously underrated, and Williams can't defend him alone."

Smith nodded: "I think Scott should replace Williams now. He can't guard Boozer, and he can't guard Maggette. It's an obvious weakness."

The Nets' offense is still the same old school. Kidd organizes, signals to his teammates, chooses tactics, and organizes passes.

Jackson ran off the ball and received a pass from Kidd, pulled a three-pointer against Hamilton, and the ball went wide again. He played too easily.

In Yang Rui's previous life, from entering the league to retiring, Jackson's offense was never stable. He could easily score 30+ points in a certain game, or he could hit the whole game, with a shooting rate of less than 30% and less than 10 points.He shot about 37.4 percent from the field every season, only [-] percent in his second season with the Knicks.

Boozer got stuck on Martin, Jordan scored the backcourt rebound again, Williams had the height advantage, and was stuck by Jordan and couldn't jump up.

Williams is a little impatient. He averaged 18 minutes per game in the playoffs and scored 4.6 rebounds, including 1.7 offensive rebounds. Now his best technique is not comparable to Jordan.

In fact, this is normal. Williams has always been a dispensable existence in the league. In Yang Rui's previous life, he has changed 10 teams in his career and is only suitable as a substitute.

In the Wizards positional battle, Wesley and Boozer played pick-and-rolls, Martin defended Boozer again, and Williams went to guard Maggette.

Martin was too concerned about Boozer's air cut and didn't switch guards in time. Wesley turned to the right to get rid of it, made a quick stop jumper from inside the three-point line, avoided Kidd's chase and blocked the ball, and the ball missed the basket. basket.

Before Martin could breathe a sigh of relief, Jordan rushed to the basket, competed with Jackson for offensive rebounds, and pulled the ball out of the restricted area.Martin dropped back for a rebound, but the ball went away from him.

Boozer picked up the offensive rebound one step ahead of the free throw line, feinted the ball with both hands, and Martin flew.

Boozer's fake movements are very realistic, and the follow-up movements are also very smooth. He evaded Martin by one step, and took another step to the basket, jumping up and smashing the ball with one hand! 11 to 2.

The opponent made a strong attack, but Scott did not call a timeout or make substitutions, allowing the players to adjust on the field.

Scott is a coach who doesn't like to call timeouts very much. On the court, Kidd is in charge.

Usually Kidd can stabilize the situation, but now this lineup is obviously unstoppable. If a timeout is not called in time, not only the score may fall further behind, but it will also affect morale.

Scott has advantages and is eclectic in training newcomers. In Yang Rui's previous life, Martin, Jefferson, and Jason Collins were all brought out by him; during the Hornets period, Paul's backup Darren Collison also played. Not bad; with the Lakers, Scott tapped into the potential of second-round pick Clarkson.

But when it comes to arranging tactics, Scott is undoubtedly an overrated coach, calling timeouts often half a beat, poor on-the-spot adaptability, and rigid tactics.

For this reason, in Yang Rui's previous life, although he led the Nets to the finals twice, he still had many conflicts with Kidd.In terms of tactics, Kidd often had differences with Scott, and Kidd, who was still a player, was better than Scott in terms of adaptability.

As a result, Scott was fired by the team in the middle of the 2003-2004 season.Kidd said in an interview that Scott was not as good as Nets assistant Lawrence Frank.

Now, another weakness of the Nets has also emerged, that is, the gap of the head coach.
