the great gatsby

Chapter 66 Skills are close to Dao?
Why are the Suns attacking so smoothly? In addition to their quick offensive and defensive transitions, their characteristic is: they can shoot!
Needless to say, Nash is a well-known sharpshooter on the three-point list, Stoudemire is a mid-range master, Richardson is an excellent three-pointer, Channing Frye is a top long-term three-pointer shooter, not to mention Grant Hill. superstar.

In fact, the Suns' tactics are not real "running and bombing tactics", because they have positional tactics. The real "bombardment tactics" should be the Golden State Warriors coached by the mad scientist Nelson. That is the authentic and original flavor. Bandit tactics.

The Suns' tactics should be called small ball tactics. The key to small ball tactics is the shooter. The Suns' lineup is tailor-made for small balls. With Nash's hand gesture, the Suns' lineup will be pulled apart, a few passes and breakthroughs. After that, Channing Frye got a chance to hit a three-pointer in the right corner.

D'Antoni has a headache. The Suns' tactics continue his strategic thinking. He also knows how the tactics will be played. Those novels that say that after knowing the tactics, they can contain or travel through time and then break the formation are simply nonsense, because Tactics themselves are flexible according to actual changes.

The Suns' tactics change according to the opponent's defense, and the players will also adapt according to the strength of the defense. It doesn't mean that if I defend this person, the tactics will be broken. Phil Jackson's triangle tactics have been played for so many years, and it is not the same. The opponent is extremely headache.

The problem with the Knicks now is not only offense, but also defense. Larry Hughes' defense is declining, David Lee's defense has never been better, Gallinari's defense can only be said to be normal, Gatsby's coordination The awareness of defending against filling positions is excellent, but it is still a weakness when defending alone.

Overall, the Knicks are a team with strong offense and weak defense, which is also in line with D'Antoni's consistent coaching style. Before meeting Bzdelik, D'Antoni's team did not have a good defense.

So the game between the Knicks and the Suns became an offensive battle of "you score one, I score one, you score another, and I score another"!

But the strange thing is that the pace of both sides is not fast.

The reason for this is that both Nash and Gatsby are extremely smart floor generals, and they are both trying to stop their opponents from getting up to speed -- they know that if they let their opponents play in transition, they will be in trouble.

Maybe Nash is willing to start up, but Gatsby refuses to let it go. Gatsby first restricts Nash's dribbling speed, secondly, guarantees the hit rate, and prevents the Suns from easily having the opportunity to switch. Thirdly, he directs his teammates to prevent the Suns from Speed ​​up, and Gatsby will hit the brakes as soon as there is a sign of speed up.

——Because he knows that once the Suns get up to speed, there will be nothing for the Knicks today.

D'Antoni's Knicks play small ball tactics, but his current lineup is not as good as the Suns' lineup. The five players in the Suns all have range, while the Knicks, except for Gallinari and Gatsby, have range. Short, or unstable, there is no way to compare with the sun.

Yang Yi took a look and was amazed: "Both sides have high shooting percentages, but the whole scene is very weird. It can be seen that Nash has been trying to increase his speed, but he was suppressed by the Knicks. Although the current Suns offense is also considered Fluid, but definitely not the game Nash wanted to play."

Zhang Weiping laughed hahaha: "Gai Ci is too smart than this little cunning guy. He has been pressing the sun to stop the speed. He should know that once the sun enters the rhythm, it will be difficult for him to brake."

The bigger Nash is, the more he admires Gatsby as a rookie. His physical strength seems to be infinite, and he has been kept in front of him, sticking to him like brown sugar, making it very difficult for him to get up to speed. He is not There is no way, it's just that his physical strength cannot be wasted on this.

The offensive aspect is also excellent. The Knicks were able to stay within a period of nearly one quarter. Gatsby contributed a lot. He used the pick-and-roll to break through again and again, and then sent out beautiful assists, allowing the Knicks to hold on tightly. With the score not being opened.

Of course, if it’s just that, it’s not surprising that Gatsby is also a rookie with excellent defensive vision. What’s surprising is that Gatsby seems to be consciously controlling the rhythm of the game?
According to the Chinese saying that skills are close to Tao, if defense and sorting out offense are skills, then rhythm control belongs to Tao. This is a very high-level level. It is difficult for those who are not geniuses to understand and even more difficult to implement. strategy.

Generally, it takes years of immersion in it to understand and master the state. The point guards that can be used in the league now are only a few people, the so-called four point guards, Nash, Paul, Kidd, Deron, and maybe Billups.

And now what Nash saw, Gatsby actually had such a prototype!
This is awesome!
This young man has an unlimited future!

Nash admired in his heart, but it also aroused his competitive spirit. He wanted to compete with this young man!

He looked up at the time. There were still 2 minutes left in the first quarter, which was just enough time to weigh the rookie's true level.

With the Suns on the ball, Nash used the width of the court to cross the half court under Gatsby's entanglement, and then waved his hand. Stoudemire showed a strange look, because this gesture meant that Nash wanted to play singles.

Nash is a pass-first player. If it weren't for maintaining an offensive threat, he might not score for the entire game. He basically relies on pick-and-rolls or open shots. It's hard to see.

Nash dribbles high, which is the basic operation of most point guards. Most point guards have to let themselves dribble higher in order to maintain their vision.

Gatsby stared closely at Nash. Although Nash was dribbling high, he didn't dare to reach for the ball, for fear that if he did, Nash would roar away.

Nash changed direction left and right, as if stumbling, but after a few changes of direction, he whizzed past Gatsby, leaving Gatsby thinking about life.

Nash succeeded in throwing the shot, and Gatsby shook his head in distress. There was no other way. Deron and Nash were both top point guards. Although their breakthrough styles were different, the common feature was that they were too sharp and there was no way to defend against them!
Well!It doesn't matter if you can't guard against it, then I'll let you also be unable to guard against it, Gai Cibi's heart became ruthless.
