The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 239 Xue Ding's Tactics

The Raptors' substitution had an immediate effect. This successful fast break showed that facing the Blazers' twin towers, at least they couldn't lose too much in terms of height.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball for halftime and did not immediately lob the ball to Adelaide. Now there are four big men, and the inside line seems very crowded. The height of Banishia put pressure on Adelaide's defensive end to a certain extent. Bosh's flexibility, It can also play the role of quick defense, passing the ball to the inside is not the first choice.

Facing Jared Jack's defense, Xue Ding passed by with one step of acceleration. Before the rest of the Raptors could react to the sudden breakthrough, Xue Ding had already entered the inside line. Barnesia realized it was too late , people have been vacated, under Bosh's gaze, the basketball was slammed into the basket.

The fans at the scene immediately shouted loudly.

"Xue Ding"

"Xue Ding"

"Xue Ding"

……

The long-awaited Xue Ding-style breakthrough and dunk appeared, which made the fans unable to restrain their enthusiasm.

In the next round, when the Raptors attacked, Jarrett lobbed the ball to Barneysia. Alder realized his physical advantage and immediately got close to him. Seeing that his teammates' offense had stalled, Bosh ran to the right and pulled open space.

Barnesia quickly passed the ball to Bosh, Chandler has followed, Bosh backed up to catch Chandler, although his body is not very dominant, but his flexible footwork allowed Bosh to enter his attack range , turned left, got rid of Chandler behind him, and dunked with his left hand.

After succeeding, Bosh raised his head to the sky and roared furiously. With a big body and a small head, he looked like an angry tortoise. Xue Ding couldn't help but not laugh.

Xue Ding stepped forward and patted the depressed Chandler, reassuring him not to worry about it. After ordinary people turn to the left, even if the defender is thrown away by half the body, the attacker still attacks with the right hand, so he can quickly interfere. , but Bosh's left-hander just avoided this point and successfully hit Chandler.

After dribbling the ball for halftime, Xue Ding clearly felt that the Raptors' defense had shifted from the inside to himself. It seemed that his breakthrough had aroused the vigilance of the opponent.

Currently still leading by a large score, and it is not the time for him to explode, Xue Ding glanced at Turkoglu who was about to defend, and quickly passed Jarrett Jack with a change of direction, and directly broke through to Turkoglu. over here.

Sure enough, Turkoglu moved sideways and quickly made up for the defense. Xue Ding changed his left direction and continued to break through, attracting the defense. With a wave behind his back, the ball floated to the 45-degree three-point line.

There were 2 minutes and 11 seconds left, and the score was 10:25. Pritchard quickly replaced the main player, and the old Miller came on the bench with a substitute.

The Raptors have also replaced their main players. Although they are behind by a large margin, the main players must be given sufficient rest time and the key bench personnel are also complete.

The Raptors came off the bench and performed very well. They were young and energetic as a whole. Under the leadership of Calderon, they led the Raptors to an 8:2 spurt, narrowing the score gap to 9 points, 18 points. :27 to end the first quarter.

"Xue played very well, and connected the inside and outside lines very well. Ade, you need to be tougher."

"Tyson, don't expand too much, do a good job of interference, and keep the three-second zone"

On the bench, Pritchard summed up the first quarter of the game, and at the same time carried out a further rotation of personnel, letting Roy replace Miller and compete with Calderon with a substitute.

As a traditional guard, Calderon is good at breaking through and playing pick-and-rolls. His three-point shooting rate is 37.2%. The key is that he has a good mental quality and a big heart. The biggest shortcoming is that his defense is mediocre. Use Roy to match him , Pritchard's intention is obvious, so that Roy, who has a better advantage, can play a suppressive role.

At the very least, the substitute should not be beaten too badly by the opponent. The main force pulls points in the front, and the substitute always loses points in the back. This is not a solution.

Roy's biggest problem now is that his speed has dropped a lot. Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, facing the opponent's main force, his injured knee can no longer support sudden speed changes, let alone long-term high-speed running, so slowly It has become a very difficult problem for the Blazers to solve.

But facing the opponent's substitute, rich experience, although slow but sophisticated rhythm, both offensive and defensive ends have played a very good role.

The results of the facts also proved the success of Pritchard's tactics. Under Roy's leadership, the Blazers' substitutes faced the Raptors' substitutes, and the game became less chaotic. The score was 2:8, which won enough rest time for their respective main players.

With the score at 26:33, the Raptors trailed by 7 points. After the official timeout, the main players of both sides appeared again.

For the Blazers, Cockscomb replaced Roy, creating a situation where Xue Ding was the only guard.

The Raptors had the ball, and Jared Jack dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball directly to Turkoglu.

The four big men on the inside were entangled very tightly. Barneysia did not occupy a good position. Bosh reached out for the ball. Turkoglu first dribbled the ball to the front of Bosh, stretched out his hand and lobbed it, and at the same time an accelerated cut Come in.

Bosh made a pass back, and Turkoglu made a 45° ball on the right side and made a mid-range shot.

A simple pass and cut cooperation easily tore open the Blazers' defense.

The score continued to shrink, and the Raptors trailed by 5 points, 28:33.
Xue Ding passed the halftime with the ball and did not immediately break through. As the only commander on the court, Xue Ding felt that he had more things to consider. In the past, as long as the offense can be successful, now he has to consider the overall teammate. Condition.

Fernandez and Cockscomb pulled up the corners on both sides and took away the defenders. Ade mentioned the high position, and Bania followed, and the overall staff stretched apart.

Xue Ding made an accelerated change of direction without hesitation, got rid of Jared Jack, and made a 45° jumper from the free throw line without waiting for Barnesia to defend.

In the next few rounds, the Raptors' offense also changed a lot. Turkoglu became the starting point of the offense and the main offensive scoring point.

With stable mid-range shots and three-pointers, and a good sense of rhythm, Turkoglu has connected the offense of the Raptors inside and outside.

For the Trail Blazers, Xue Ding made consecutive breakthroughs to Jarrett, and Jack made frequent stops and hit jumpers.

With 2 minutes and 15 seconds left, the score was 44:45. Under Turkoglu's tandem, the Raptors took a 16:10 advantage and narrowed the score.

In the last 2 minutes, both sides replaced the substitutes. Facing the situation where the Raptors were about to catch up, Pritchard didn't say anything. Xue Ding knew very well that this was equivalent to leading the team to attack alone. The head coach's attitude is a silent support for himself.

In his heart, Xue Ding is also very clear that as the brain of a team, if he wants to easily create opportunities for his teammates, he must first be a strong threat, so facing Jarrett Jack's defense, he frequently breaks through jump shots Success is to achieve this effect first.
