Chapter 393 [The soldiers take the initiative, see who is more crazy]

In the middle of the first quarter, Nelson replaced blue-collar shooting guard Adrian Griffin, Yang Rui replaced small forward Corey Maggette and Laga Bell.

After that, the two sides were still unable to defend, and scored a high score of 38 to 41.

The Wizards were still behind by 38 points in a single quarter. Yang Rui did not send a defensive expert to confront Nowitzki, but he failed to defend his three-pointer and two-pointer.

The Mavericks Nash played the whole quarter. After Adrian came off, the Wizards attacked him. Relying on Wesley's movement and Stoudemire's empty cut, the attack was equally astonishing.

Nash's defense is very poor, because of obvious weaknesses, Yang Rui's previous life, the Mavericks let go of the All-Star point guard in the summer of 2004, the management thinks that the Mavericks can't win the championship, to a large extent because of Nash's poor defense dragged down.

After graduating from high school, Nash was rejected by more than 30 colleges. He later kept these rejection letters in a shoe box to motivate himself.In the end, he was spotted by the little-known Santa Clara University coach Dick David and joined the school team.

David commented on Nash: "I was so nervous at the time. I really hope no one has seen his performance. To see how good Nash is, you don't need the vision of a Nobel Prize winner. I just hoped that there would be no strangeness. The big man jumped out and cut his beard."

Although he likes Nash very much, David does not forget to add a sentence. "He's the worst defensive guy I've ever seen."

Nash's defense didn't change much until he retired, a complete black hole.No matter which guard plays Nash's team, he can put up good numbers.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Rockets' point guard was called Aaron Brooks. He was 183cm tall and weighed only 73kg. He couldn't even play the CBA in China against the old Marbury. His career data against Nash averaged 18.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. 4.6 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 48.1 percent from [-]-point range.

David Wesley also broke out today, scoring 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, the Mavericks five: Van Exel, Finley, Walter Williams, Najera, Bradley.

Wizards five: Tyron Lu, Bell, Maggette, Wallace, Marshall.

Sr. Nelson gave Finley a four-minute break in the first quarter, and now he's back.Substitute swingman Tariq is too bad. It is not high salary and incompetence, but high salary incompetence.In a crucial game like the finals, Nelson didn't dare to use him.

Yang Rui let Alstom continue to sit on the bench, and the arrangement is very targeted.

To defend Van Exel, Tyron Lue is much more suitable. He will constantly entangle himself and make up for the lack of height with hard work.The two played against each other. Tyron Lu had no physical disadvantage. Van Exel was only 185CM and weighed 77 kg. He played by speed and shooting.

Wallace is in charge of preventing the pick-and-roll, Van Exel gets rid of Tyron Lue by covering, and he will immediately go up to block the breakthrough route.In just one second, Tailonglu's follow-up was very positive.

Bell's task is to follow Finley, and he is also entangled and inseparable.

The biggest highlight of this lineup of the Wizards is not the arrangement of the perimeter, but the absence of a center.

Even old Nelson, known as a "mad scientist", was surprised. He found that Yang Rui was even crazier than himself, and he could come wherever he wanted.

The Wizards' tallest player on the field is Marshall at 206cm, who can maximize space, shoot three-pointers, and create opportunities for his teammates.On the defensive end, he is in charge of defending "Big Bamboo" Bradley.

杨瑞敢这么做，是因为布拉德利进攻很烂。季后赛场均打14.5分钟，只能得3分3.8篮0.3助攻0.8盖帽。

He is 229cm tall and weighs only 107kg.Yao Ming, who is about the same height as him, looks thin enough and weighs 132 kilograms in his rookie season.The bamboo-like figure gives him a height advantage, but he can't easily hit the basket in the face of Marshall, and he has no range.

Bradley went out to pick and roll, Marshall was fast enough to switch guards, Maggette emptied Najera to retreat to the basket, and could withstand Bradley's empty cut.

What saddens Nelson the most is that Bradley does not respond to the pass at all. The peak assist data of his career appeared in his rookie season, averaging two assists per game. After that, he played more than 30 minutes in many seasons and averaged no assists per game. reached one.The current Bradley is just a pure blue-collar who can rely on his height advantage to defend the penalty area.

As soon as the Wizards' offensive end opened, Bradley was completely tragic, and the single defense against Marshall was dislocated.When Marshall pulls out, he doesn't follow. The opponent shoots a three-pointer directly, and it is easy to be passed if he follows.

Marshall and Tyron Lue played pick-and-rolls, and Bradley was even more miserable. He couldn't keep up with the guard, and his position was back, and Tyron Lue could also make a pull-up jumper.After becoming a marginal person in the team, Tailonglu has been working hard in training, and his skills have not deteriorated.

3 minutes later, the Wizards overtook 7 points and played a wave of 12 to 2. Old Nelson served and was forced to make adjustments to replace Bradley and Nowitzki.

The Mavericks have been man-to-man defense in this period, and dare not defend.Bradley's defense against Marshall was all out of position, let alone against the other four, he was just being played.

Barkley joked: "In these few minutes, Jerry Young is better than Old Nelson. It turns out that as long as there is a suitable reference, a soft guy like Marshall can become a tough guy."

Smith laughed: "Bradley has always been an important backup for the Mavericks. If the Wizards use this tactic, it will be difficult for Nelson to play him, and the opponent will attack this point."

Other broadcast commentators also agreed that the Wizards had the upper hand, and not just this one.

Bradley can't be reused, but the Mavericks can't let LaFrentz play the whole game, can they?At the center position, the Mavericks do not even have a reliable substitute, which is likely to affect the final result of the series.

Yang Rui didn't make any substitutions. Marshall's main defense against Nowitzki was just right, he moved fast enough, and his height was not too short.It doesn't matter if he can't defend, as long as he can guarantee the attack.

For Yang Rui, it's not unreasonable to use people like this, because he has watched the future Warriors play.

In Yang Rui's previous life, when Nash won the MVP for several consecutive years, but he hated the Western Conference finals several times and his small-ball run-and-gun tactics were widely questioned, when Klee predicted that the jump-shooting team would not win the championship, no one could have imagined that, In 2015, the Warriors relied on small-ball tactics to win the NBA championship.

Kerr put Bogut on the bench. The center on the field was Chase Green, who was only 201cm tall, and the power forward was Iguodala, who was 198cm.Although the penalty area was blown up, the five players on the Warriors field can attack with the ball, pass the ball, shoot three-pointers, switch defenses infinitely, and dislocations are everywhere.

The core of small-ball tactics is that players who are not tall use speed to gain space, use speed to hold the ball spot, and use shooting to make up for the disadvantage in the interior.

In fact, the Heat, who have won two consecutive championships, also took this road.James and Wade took turns holding the ball and passing the ball to Shane Battier, Ray Allen, Chalmers, and Bosh to shoot.Bosh is just a little taller and is not a meat shield center.

In the 15 Finals, Cavaliers high center Mozgov scored a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds in the fourth game, and the team still lost.In the fifth game, because Mozgov's defensive mobility was too poor, the Cavaliers only let him play for 9 minutes and did not score a single point.

Mozgov is far superior to "big bamboo pole" Bradley in all aspects. Yang Rui believes that small ball tactics will cause headaches for opponents.To deal with the Mavericks, he is going to win by surprise.
