NBA Building Cardinals

Chapter 247 Reading Contest (37)

After entering the second quarter, the Bobcats' lineup on the field is:
Damon Stoudemire, left-handed throwing knife Karim, Ariza, Eli, Divac.

Since Jefferson was mentioned as the starter, in the second team, Stoudemire is definitely the undoubted main offensive point.

In the line, Liu Rui chose to let Kareem match Stoudemire instead of House.

It is also because compared to House, Kareem's height can give him more advantages in defense.

After all, it is now in the experimental stage. In the future, Liu Rui will definitely make different adjustments in each game until he develops the most perfect lineup.

In the position of power forward, Chinese player Wang Zhizhi was not used, but the beast Eli, who had just come back in this game, was used. Of course, Liu Rui had his own ideas.

Because of the joining of Divac, Divac not only has excellent passing vision on the court, but also can help Stoudemire complete better shots on the offensive end.

It is even more because Divac himself has the ability to shoot, and his shooting range can extend beyond the three-point line.

And the experience on the court will definitely make Stoudemire play more easily.

In terms of pick-and-roll experience, even the veteran Smith in the team is absolutely impossible to be better than Divac.

After all, these things have accompanied the old star throughout his career.

So when Divac played again, Liu Rui sent Eli to match him on the court.

In addition to the fact that someone always has to fight for rebounds, it is also because Eli's defensive ability is much better than Wang Zhizhi's.

Able to share more pressure for Divac on the defensive end.

Otherwise, when Wang Zhizhi and Divac play together, there will inevitably be some overlap, and when Divac is off, Wang Zhizhi can continue to be on the court.

Make sure the Bobcats second unit always has a big man who can shoot from beyond the arc.

It is also because Stoudemire is a small player, so he is very agile in his movements, and he often breaks through to the inside to score the ball.

If you don't have a big man who can shoot [-]s to open the floor, you will reduce a lot of offensive opportunities.

As for Ariza who was placed on the bench, it is not that he is not reused by Liu Rui, but on the contrary, it is precisely because of Ariza's reuse that Liu Rui put him on the current bench.

As the absolute defensive main force of the entire second team, Ariza's defense, whether it is for the inside or outside, will definitely have a qualitative improvement.

At least it will not be the same as before. Although the second team can blow up the opponent on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, they will also be blown up by the opponent when they encounter a strong team.

And the current lineup on the court, except for Eli, everyone else has the ability to shoot three-pointers, and the shooting percentage is not low.

This also allows Divac's supporting pass to play the greatest threat.

After all, as long as the opportunity comes out, no matter who transfers the ball to Divac, he can make a shot instead of causing the ball to be stopped on the court.

A team's offensive stop on the court is definitely the biggest failure on the basketball court.

The 76ers have not had very good candidates for the bench this season, and before, in order to trade to Webber, the depth of the team's lineup was once again reduced.

This also led to the rookie Korver who scored the most points on the 76ers' bench.

And because the 76ers rely too much on Iverson now, Iverson's average playing time this season is currently as high as 42.6 minutes, ranking first in the league without any suspense.

There is a big gap with Tracy McGrady, who is ranked second, and Kobe, who is ranked third.

The point guard on the 76ers' bench is Aaron McGee, a man with very poor defensive ability.

In the contest between the two sides' bench lineups, Stoudemire directly used his personal ability to penetrate the entire 76ers' defense in one fell swoop.

Especially the hand-to-hand tactics that Liu Rui arranged for Stoudemire and Divac before the game.

Liu Rui also arranged this tactic when Kapono was there before.

It's just that at that time it was arranged by Brezek and Kapono.

Now, this hand-to-hand tactic is arranged on Divac and Stoudemire, and the power exerted is obviously much greater than that of Kapono.

For this tactic, the most important thing for big players is experience and judgment.

Obviously at this point, there are absolutely not many centers with more experience than Divac.

Moreover, after receiving a pass from Divac, Stoudemire can not only shoot a three-pointer with the help of a screen, but also use fake moves to directly enter the inside line, thereby creating more scoring opportunities.

After the first attack achieved results, on the offensive end, Stoudemire and Divac directly repeated their old tricks. After all, this has always been Liu Rui's coaching style.

As long as it is effective, then keep fighting on this point.

It was such a simple cooperation. After the second quarter, facing the defensive loopholes of Aaron McGee's defense, Stoudemire directly scored 7 points in a row.

With just over two minutes into the game, the 76ers were stopped directly.

During the timeout, Liu Rui and the substitutes clapped hands one by one.

On the field, the Bobcats' entire tactics, Divac is standing in a high position, but did not choose to stand under the basket.

Except because of his age, Divac has lost his former dominance at the basket.

It is also because of putting Divac on the field, what Liu Ruixiang likes is his coping ability, and secondly his shooting ability.

Therefore, the starting point of the entire tactic does not require Divac to enter the inside line at all.

And when Divac stands outside the three-point line, facing the return defense, he can also position to the greatest extent.

Otherwise, if Divac falls in the low post and faces the defensive counterattack of the 76ers, it is impossible to complete the chase with Divac's footsteps today.

This is why Liu Rui dared to use Divac.

Because in this era, no one is more advanced than Liu Rui in using the center forward from outside the three-point line.

Because in later generations, if an inside player does not have the ability to shoot from the outside, unless he has a super ability to protect the basket on the defensive end, just like Gobert.

Or have a good ability to eat cakes on the offensive end, such as Capela.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to survive in this league.

At this time, Divac is like Jokic in later generations.

Although he is already old, but for the reading ability of the game, the older he is, the more demonic he is.

This is also the point that Liu Rui needs him the most besides helping young players grow.

After all, shooting ability can be practiced, but for the ability to read the game, more depends on talent...
