I feel hot in the NBA

Chapter 142 Workaround

Kidd played the first position, and Lin Yang played the second position.

Looking at the tactics deployed by Rick Carlisle, Zhang Weiping began to interpret the intention: "Kidd has recovered his physical fitness very well after resting. If he is released at this time, his state will definitely not be a problem, and it can completely play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army."

"In addition, in the first game of this season, Lin Yang and Chandler's defensive cooperation has been very good to limit Ginobili. In this game, Carlisle has not sent such a defensive lineup. Obviously, it has been waiting for a certain time to put this defensive lineup. Now, it is that time!"

"Lin Yang no longer has the pressure of holding the ball, and now he can put all his energy into running and looking for shooting opportunities!"

What Zhang Weiping wants to focus on is the last point. In his opinion, Rick Carlisle's change of formation can be regarded as a complete release of Lin Yang, allowing him to let go of the heavy responsibility of organization and to move around to find opportunities.

This NBA head coach!It's really awesome, everything can be considered.

For Rick Carlisle, Zhang Weiping couldn't help sighing in his heart, this guy's control of the whole game is really in place.

Rick Carlisle... I didn't know Zhang Weiping was talking about him like that. Looking at Jason Kidd on the field, he felt a little lucky that he made a change at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Originally, he did not let Kidd play at the beginning of the fourth quarter to continue to play him later. Originally, in his plan, Kidd would not have to play after the start of the fourth quarter. After all, he had just recovered from his injury.

But Popovich's interception of Lin Yang was a bit beyond his imagination. This guy didn't care if Lin Yang was a rookie or not.

Anyway, in December, Rick Carlisle has not seen Lin Yang, who entered the "miracle moment", be guarded, but this happened tonight.

Lin Yang Biao scored two three-pointers in a row, but missed the third one.

In this case, Carlisle didn't have time to think too much. Just like Popovich, at this moment, he only had the idea of ​​winning the game in his heart.

Since you want to win, you must use the way you can win. Jason Kidd and Lin Yang, this pair of backcourt combination is Rick Carlisle's ultimate killer move.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, in short, there is no problem with Kidd's physical fitness at the moment. He can definitely command the team more stable than Lin Yang.

Although Lin Yang's talent in the No. [-] position is visible to the naked eye, he is still a bit behind Jason Kidd in terms of the control of the team's rhythm. This cannot be compensated by talent, which requires experience.

That's why Kidd is better than Lin Yang.

"Lin, maybe you can consider coming to our team, I think your style of play is the most suitable for the Spurs!"

Ginobili and Lin Yang re-matched, and there was nothing nervous about it. Although Lin Yang cooperated well with Chandler last time and restricted him very well, he has played in this league for so many years. If he can be defended with just such a set of defensive tactics, then he can't be called a "demon sword"!

He admits that he was a bit of a dead end during the game, but after watching the game video after the game, he found that while he was restricted by Lin Yang and Chandler, he could have more choices.

So when they meet again, he is not afraid to confront Lin Yang.

"But you are so unfriendly to me, what should I do if I am afraid that I will be bullied?" Lin Yang replied, turning around and starting to run.

Ginobili followed suit.

Kidd held the ball and stood facing Parker. Parker didn't stick to Kidd as he defended before, but put a step away.

Kidd is not a No. [-] with shooting ability, so he is better than Rajon Long.

To be honest, if Kidd was born a few years later, he would probably be another Rajon Rondo, especially in the current league, where the traditional No. [-] position has become increasingly untenable.

It can also be seen from the current situation of the new generation of No. [-] positions emerging in the league. Traditional No. [-] positions such as "Golden Boy" Rubio have become increasingly difficult to perform well.

In addition, the offensive and defensive rhythm of this league is getting faster and faster. No matter which team it is, it is already difficult to play a round for more than ten seconds.

The most notable feature is that the Spurs, who have been playing positional warfare last season, have accelerated this season.

The traditional No. [-] position is lonely!
And this kind of loneliness is not only because the traditional No. [-] position is difficult to cultivate, but more importantly, the responsibilities of the traditional No. [-] position are not so obvious.

As for Kidd, few people have noticed that in the last two seasons, he has taken about 400 three-pointers per season.

Yes, even Jason Kidd inevitably followed the trend and began to look for ways to enhance his offensive threat.

This is the unconscious change of No. [-] position.

It's a pity that although Kidd has strengthened his three-point shooting, he still shoots more three-pointers after catching the ball. His ability to shoot three-pointers with the ball is not outstanding. Parker didn't dare to shoot when he left him like this.

Kidd has been looking for Lin Yang, and he is also thinking about which tactics to play to get the ball into Lin Yang's hands. As a coach who can be a head coach as soon as he retires, he has a very clear understanding of Carlisle's psychology. This arrangement is nothing more than to completely release Lin Yang, so that he has more energy to run.

But Ginobili has been following Lin Yang, and Kidd didn't know how to give the ball to Lin Yang for a while.

However, the tactics of the Mavericks must be based on Lin Yang. If Lin Yang has been stuck by Ginobili and they don’t think of a way, then Lin Yang will definitely not be targeted by the defense. This will also make other people, such as Nowitzki.

At this time, Lin Yang must be allowed to shoot more goals, even if he only scores one, the Spurs' defense will immediately go to Lin Yang. By then, the Mavericks will be much easier to play.

This is Kidd's thinking, and it is also what he guessed Carlisle's thinking.

Kidd didn't move, he was still watching Lin Yang interacting with his teammates.His waiting was worth it. Lin Yang ran back from the bottom line twice, and with the cover of Nowitzki, he successfully got rid of Ginobili and returned to the three-point line on the right.

"ball!"

Kidd's call for the ball and Lin Yang's call for the ball sounded almost simultaneously.

Lin Yang received the ball smoothly.

The moment he caught the ball, Parker also decisively dropped Kidd and went towards Lin Yang to defend. Lin Yang made a shooting fake and the next second he rushed in front of him, he changed into a breakthrough posture and squeezed past Parker.

Lin Yang was on the move and made a throw. It was too late for Duncan to make up for it, so he could only watch the ball fly out of Lin Yang's hands.

"Shh!"

The ball goes in!
Two points scored!

"Lin Yang made a successful throw, beautiful!" Yu Jia was a little excited when he saw Lin Yang's throw.

The moment Lin Yang ran to catch the ball outside the three-point line, he thought that Lin Yang was going to shoot a three-pointer, and he was very nervous. He must have hoped that Lin Yang would score a goal, but he missed the last goal.

But Lin Yang's next reaction was beyond his expectations. He didn't shoot a three-pointer, but after a fake action attracted Parker, he made a breakthrough throw and scored the ball!
This is an uncommon way to score points!

Especially for Lin Yang.

All the fans, especially those who started to pay attention to Lin Yang since December, have only one impression of Lin Yang-he is a three-point shooter who can't be stopped if he shoots crazy!

There is no way, the "miracle moment" was reported by the media almost every day during this period, it is impossible not to remember it!

"Lin Yang suddenly changed his offensive style at this time, which surprised everyone, especially the defensive players of the Spurs. They didn't react!" Zhang Weiping actually didn't realize that Lin Yang would make such a shooting choice. Like Yu Jia, he was also worried about Lin Yang's touch. He is a very good player in controlling the situation of the whole game. Although he is still a rookie, his golf quotient is surprising and even lamented. This attack showed his high golf quotient to the fullest."

"Okay, Lin, this goal looks a bit cool!"

Tyson Chandler leaned over with a smile and boasted to Lin Yang. He was a little embarrassed because he thought that the ball was given to him by Lin Yang. He also dodged around to the basket to dunk, but the ball fell into the basket right in front of his eyes. Fortunately, his big hand did not touch the ball, otherwise, it would have been an own goal.

He didn't expect that Lin Yang would throw a shot!

"There are even more handsome ones!"

Lin Yang replied while returning to defense.

He is not talking nonsense, he is going to strengthen the breakthrough next!
Although his breakthrough ability is not top-notch, he is in the "hot hand" mode. As long as he is allowed to shoot normally without interference, the ball is basically the result of falling into the net bag.

And the distance between two points is much closer than the distance between three points.

Since the Spurs blocked his three-pointers so much, he didn't need to try his luck with them. The limit of the "bronze touch" has been tested. His three-pointers are no longer the most stable way to shoot in this situation, so he doesn't need to stay outside the three-point line all the time. That style of play is too rigid, and he is not so inflexible.

damn it!
Popovich looked even worse after seeing Lin Yang break through and hit a throw!
He can't help but look good, because this means that Lin Yang can shoot suddenly tonight, and the range of his defense will naturally be expanded, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on the Spurs on the defensive end.

The current defensive pressure on the Spurs is already very high. The Mavericks have Lin Yang on the outside, Nowitzki on the inside, and two "pie-eating masters" who can cut at any time and have unlimited vitality.

Coupled with Kidd's center scheduling...

Such an offensive lineup, even the Spurs with top-notch execution, is full of defensive pressure.

At such a time, Lin Yang, whose projection ability is a threat, can still break through. How could this not make Popovich depressed. It feels like walking with him well, but suddenly he was beaten up, which is indescribably depressed!

You didn't play like this before!
Lin Yang: You didn't force me to do it!

"Good job, that's it!"

What the idol is not happy about is what Rick Carlisle is excited about. Lin Yang suddenly played a breakthrough game, and even scored with throws. Being able to make sudden and good shots, his threat ability has been further improved.

Not to mention, the next ball will continue to Lin Yang!

Rick Carlisle didn't hesitate, and gave orders to the players on the Mavericks field.

The players on the Mavericks saw Carlisle's instructions and began to cover for Lin Yang more frequently.

Lin Yang once again got rid of Ginobili and received the ball from outside the three-point line.

"repair!"

Parker didn't know whether to rush over, Popovich made the choice for him, the old man would rather believe that Lin Yang's goal just now was just a flash of light, just a coincidence shot, and he didn't want to see Lin Yang score another three-pointer.

Parker naturally obeyed the old man's words unconditionally, and he rushed forward. He was at least two steps away from Lin Yang. If he didn't rush over with all his strength and intentionally control his body at this distance, it would be too late. But after he rushed over with all his strength, he could only watch Lin Yang squeeze past him.

"Shh!"

Lin Yang made another throw and scored!
The Spurs failed to score just now, but Lin Yang scored the goal, and the Mavericks regained their lead by 6 points.

"beep!"

Popovich had no choice but to use the last timeout.

He still doesn't want to use this pause very much, but he knows that if he doesn't use it, there may be a situation where it doesn't make much sense to use it or not.

So Popovich chose to use it.

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a common problem of most NBA head coaches. They always like to hold the timeout in their hands and want to save it until the end.

Popovich is a very decisive head coach. Seeing that Lin Yang made two breakthrough throws, he immediately used the last timeout.

The game entered a timeout with less than 5 minutes remaining.

Tyson Chandler high-fives Lin Yang: "Another handsome goal!"

This time, Chandler was smart enough not to jump.

"I've said it all, there are even more handsome ones!"

After scoring the first throw, Lin Yang made his movements more smoothly the second time, and naturally looked more handsome.
