Chapter 132 Long Toss and Dry Pull
"horns"

The 76ers did not implement the plan of letting everyone touch the ball to get familiar with the feel of the ball on the first attack.

Instead, he quickly completed the horns' position

A ball handler is at the top of the arc, two people stand at both ends of the free throw line, and two shooters are in the left and right bottom corners.

"Keep an eye on your people, don't stare at the ball." The 2-4 loss in the series last year made the Cavaliers attach great importance to this game.

"Okay." After exchanging glances with Brogdon, Young started what he called the number three but was really the number four.
go tactical
"It's a false cover." As another important person in the tactic, Embiid judged the next direction of the tactic.

After judging, he's going to get to work.

"Is it so fierce?" After scratching JR Smith from left to right, Embiid suddenly found that there was no defender beside him.

"Ball, ball" Now that he found that he had enough space to handle the ball, Embiid quickly signaled for the ball.

"Young attracts a two-man defense and then he's not a good target for a pass."

"Robert's side is not very suitable for moving, even if LeBron's help defense is fast enough, he can't care about the other side.

So Love on the left and Irving next to me are the most suitable targets.

After handing over the ball, Brogdon, who quickly completed the judgment of the situation, ran from the top of the arc towards the left bottom corner.

Richardson, the 76ers' second pick-and-roll man, read the implications when Brogdon stepped in his direction.

catch the ball

When Brogdon eliminated all the interference of Love, Richardson had enough space not to be disturbed
"Love shouldn't be staring at Richardson, he should be staring at Covington, so that he can maintain a relative balance between defending the three-point line and protecting the backboard. If the matchup continues like this, Josh Richardson's three-point shooting rate will become the lifeline of the Cavaliers."

But Love is an insider who is strong offensively and weak defensively.

"Change position, you go against Covington." Although it is not good to change the established plan from the beginning, LeBron James still chose to change

Because he doesn't want to lose anymore.

LeBron James, who dribbled through halftime, did not make a breakthrough, but waited at the top of the arc, which made Brett Brown smell a different breath.

"Be careful of the shooter." Because the distance is very close, the reminder was conveyed quickly.

Although Brett Brown's careful shooter completed the delivery, the problem still appeared.

JR Smith helped Love block Covington.

With LeBron James' amazing control of the basketball, the ball came to Love's hands smoothly.

to throw or not to throw
Covington, who did not pounce, and circumvented the defense, completed the judgment in an instant, because he remembered an impressive sentence:

Shooters are all lunatics, the best way to ignite a lunatic is to score 3+1, if it doesn't work, it's okay to stand against others.

Covington, who was a beat slower, made the 76ers only accept the same 3:3 situation

high pick and roll
Even though there are several more ball handlers in the team than last year, the high pick-and-roll is still the most diligent method used by the 76ers.

In order to prevent Brogdon's pick-and-roll from being flanked, Young without the ball started fishing law enforcement in advance.

The target of phishing enforcement?
LeBron James, the best help defender on the Cavaliers' current roster

cover, switch

The Cavaliers, who are only familiar with the "three-point killer mode", easily handed LeBron James to a 45-degree position on the left.

single gear screen
When I saw this kind of thing in the game against the 76ers, Tristan Thompson couldn't help but raise his defensive position.
This habit cannot be said to be bad, but the initiator of this pick-and-roll is neither Young nor Stephen Curry. Standing so high, there is no second option except to be passed by someone.

The moment Brogdon accelerated and relaxed, Tristan Thompson came back to his senses, turned around and chased

The effect of chasing back was good, and Brogdon's layup route was reduced to the point that as long as he dared to make a shot, he would definitely get blocked.

"Hehe, seal the front and not the reverse?"

"back defense"

After performing mental os, Yang has already started to evacuate from the left side at 45 degrees.

"Beautiful back basket, from Brogdon~~~" The 76ers' home DJ never hides his love for beautiful balls.

Falling back?
Are the cards dealt?is a change

LeBron is in position and does not play, it is obvious that he wants to connect.

"spread away, spread out"

Yang, who heard and thought clearly, began to dance with his right hand, cutting the ball into the penalty area
"Stay for a while" Although he doesn't like LeBron James, he will be respected accordingly.

"?" LeBron James forgot Yang's words after passing through his mind for a while, because the other party grabbed

The first empty cut is passed,
When Embiid was pulled to the perimeter by Tristan Thompson's freeing JR Smith, the 76ers' restricted area was already very empty.

Although "bottom" is not a top-tier defender, Young knows very well that the pass will go down.

It's a pity that LeBron James is indeed an excellent passer, and Young's interception failed.

If the first player loses, then you can only look at the second player
"Bang" a block, let the ball fly towards the baseline on the left

The preparation for the second hand was successful
stay for a while
全称
When passing the penalty area, stay for a while, even if the chasing shooter is a little slower, it doesn't matter.

Young agreed with the concept brought by Udoka, because when Embiid leaves the penalty area, this method is indeed very suitable for protecting the frame.

But soon Yang gave Uduka the premise in the training session that this strategy cannot be used against the three in the west and himself.

otherwise
It's easy to get shot.

Crap, a bit much, back to the game

Pinching Brogdon-based pick-and-rolls, nailing the pass route for weak-side shooters, and directly going forward for Embiid's low post.

"Killed." Brogdon, who was the core of the system, immediately understood the current situation.

How to hand the ball has become the last place in the 76ers' tactics that needs routines.

Brogdon comes up with plan one because LeBron James is out of line
As a big point guard, Brogdon's strength is enough to support as a protective wall
back screen

The deadly back screen for JR Smith successfully helped Young get the ball.

face frame singles
Yang, who hadn't played a singles game this season, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. Taking advantage of the gap when the defender was blocked, he completed an explosive burst.

"Strength, defensive strength."

drop the defender

Even though the space was stretched to the extreme, LeBron James chose to throw away Richardson.

back to the basket
"Defend me from attacking the frame, what a bad choice." Although it is a breakthrough, and it is almost flat under the basket, this defensive choice is still quite unreliable

Because Yang's production is supported by the mid-range, and his efficiency is boosted by a large number of three-pointers, and the attack frame is just an accessory.

Therefore, after stepping into the three-point line, he has only two options left this time.
