God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 520 Continue to Change
A big loss at home obviously made the Bobcats very frustrated, especially Allen, who thought he should be able to guard James, but the latter quickly shattered his optimism.During the training the next day, he remained silent, and there was nothing Chang Wei could do about it. Allen hadn't reached the peak of his career. In fact, even if he reached the peak, James was not something he could defend if he wanted to. It is too normal to be defeated in three games.

After watching the videos of the first three games over and over again, Jackson finally came up with a relatively reliable method, which is to use Max Hill to defend James in a high position.Although Allen tried his best to keep James away from the basket, his height disadvantage is irreparable. It would be better to let the equally tough but taller Max Hill to defend.

For Jackson's arrangement, Chang Wei almost gave him 32 likes. In fact, this is a very common way for later generations to defend James.The big high post delays, preventing James from easily breaking into the penalty area with his strength, and others cut off James' passing route, forcing him to shoot himself when he has no advantage in height.More importantly, the personal defense of big players will also greatly consume James' physical strength, causing him to have to rest more time on the bench.

As for whether the effect can be achieved now, Chang Wei is not sure, because James showed a top mid-range shooting touch in the last game.But in any case, this method is worth a try, but Milicic needs to take more responsibility in the paint.If he can't handle it inside, he will not only be blown up by O'Neill and Gooden, but also make Maxhill exhausted.

In this way, there is no need for Allen to continue to start, and Ariza will have to go inside more to help Milicic defend. Let’s not talk about whether the effect is good or not. After all, it can relieve some pressure on Milicic, which is what it should be righteous.

When Jackson announced the starting lineup for the next game, Allen silently lowered his head. Although Jackson didn't say that the loss in the last game was his problem, in his opinion, it was his weak defense.Jackson naturally felt the negative energy overflowing from Allen, and he pouted at Chang Wei, signaling him to comfort Allen after the training.

Chang Wei glared at him, but didn't say anything. As the chief assistant, this was barely his scope of work.So after the training was over, Chang Wei directly stopped Allen who was about to go back to the locker room to take a shower and leave, hoping to talk to him.

Allen looked a little surprised, and the result of his surprise was that he became more silent. After he came to the sideline and sat down, he didn't say a word like a gourd.Chang Wei smiled and said sincerely: "Tony, don't take this matter so seriously. It wasn't your fault that you lost in the last game. It's just that Damon wants to see if the new method can better restrict LeBron."

"But, isn't it because I didn't perform well in the last game?" Allen said in a low voice.

Uh, it seems that what you said makes sense... Chang Wei quickly shook his head, so as not to be led into the pit by this guy.He thought about it for a while, and said to Allen: "Actually, you were very successful in defending James in the second game, but now that James has played at a higher level, we want to try to let Jason play against him. So Ariza is going to come out there and increase the firepower."

"Tony, you have to believe in yourself, and I also believe that you can become the top defender in the league, but you still need to accumulate more experience and conduct more targeted training. It is a tactical arrangement for you to continue to play as a substitute, not Your personal problem. If you still feel uncomfortable, then work harder in training, you know my vision, I can’t judge people wrong.”

Chang Wei left without hesitation after speaking. In fact, he can't play a big role in this kind of thing, and let Alan figure it out by himself.But Chang Wei has great confidence in Allen, and this guy should be able to get out of it soon.

Now the top priority is not Allen's mentality, but the fourth game of the series. If the Bobcats continue to lose, then they are 1 to 3 behind and they can basically declare the end of the season.That's why Jackson couldn't wait to choose to change the formation again, otherwise he would have no chance to change the formation. Even if this ball is not a battle of life and death, it will not be too bad.

When the Bobcats announced the starting lineup before the game, they did not attract the attention of the experts. After all, Ariza returned to the starting lineup. In the last game, Allen did not make enough contributions on both ends of the offense and defense. normal.Mike Brown didn't take this change seriously either. In his opinion, as long as James plays at a normal level, the team can win the game.

At the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers got the first wave of offensive possessions, but when Gibson handed the ball to James, it was not Ariza who stood in front of the latter, but Max Hill, who should have been stuck inside.This situation surprised Mike Brown. It was not that the two had no direct dialogue in the previous game, but it was the first time for Maxhill to defend at a high position.

James tried to play with his back, but Maxhill is a black and hard inside player after all, and his feet did not move.James had no choice, ready to dribble and turn around, trying to break through Maxhill's defense with his speed advantage.However, since switching to the Bobcats, Maxhill has done a lot of training on the inside footsteps, and his own moving speed is not slow. Although James did not keep up with the first step, he soon turned around and stuck tightly to James. Beside him, don't give him the space to shoot.

Jackson is secretly proud, it seems that it is right to use Maxhill to defend James.However, he still underestimated the strength of James. Although Max Hill kept making physical contact with him, he still stabilized his center of gravity, and seized the opportunity to pass the ball to O'Neal with a single hit. The Sharks are not old, and a small hook sent the ball to the basket over Ariza's head.Max Hill, who was following James, was a little embarrassed. He thought James would choose to shoot by himself.

But this is only the first round of the game. Apart from not cutting off James' passing route, Mark Hill's defense against him is impeccable, regardless of height, weight or moving speed.Jackson intends to look at the effect again, and he very much hopes that Max Hill can limit James, so that the Bobcats' chances of winning will be greatly increased.Of course, if such a change doesn't work, Jackson doesn't know how to limit James.
