shooting guard era

Chapter 82 102. Defensive Center

Blake was right, his pass really gave Ye Han a new impression of him.

"At least, at least this guy is better than Hart." Ye Han thought.

Ye Han's requirements for his teammates are really low!Even point guards who are better than Hart are rejoicing.Who told Ye Han to be in such a mercenary army, except for the few starters, the others were lucky to be able to grasp the open shooting opportunities.

The Bobcats are one of the teams with the highest average playing time among starters in the league. Both rookies averaged more than 36 minutes per game, Ye Han played 39 minutes per game, and Okafor played 37 minutes per game. Rapid progress is inseparable from playing time.

Closer to home, back to the game.

The Bobcats' opening attack took only 3 seconds, and the defense was over when the Celtics reacted.

Surprise is surprise. The worst thing in this league is miracles. This is a place where miracles are created. Even Fisher's 0 second lore for the Spurs to win the battle of Tianwangshan has appeared. The guard jumped the ball and won the center. That is to surprise the Celtics players, and they quickly recovered and continued the game.

Of course, if it's the person involved in the miracle, ahem, it's hard to say how much psychological shadow the person in the background has.

The Celtics attack and Payton holds the ball.

The starting power forward sent by the Celtics today is Riff LaFrentz, the shooting guard is Tony Allen, and the small forward is Pierce.

Today's Bobcats' defense is a little different from the past. Their previous air-like point guard defense did not let Payton be torn apart as easily as paper.

Although the defense is still poor, Blake is different from Brian Knight who completely gave up defense. Blake can't defend and is also working hard to defend, trying to cause trouble for Payton.

Players in the eighties and 90s like Payton have a common characteristic. They like to elbow to clear the way. Their actions are often between fouls and non-fouls.

Although he still couldn't guard Payton, Blake at least worked hard, which Ye Han appreciated very much.Defense is a matter of attitude. If you can't defend, you have to make up for it with tactics. If you don't even want to defend, no matter how good the tactics are, you can't execute them.

Well, Blake worked hard, but he still couldn't defend Payton. The latter attracted Ye Han to defend and immediately passed to Pierce who was defended by Ye Han. Pierce had a good start and hit a three-pointer.

Pierce is very well prepared for the game!Now no matter which star is playing against Ye Han, he will go all out, otherwise he will be humiliated if he is abused by a rookie. Didn't Kobe and Iverson beat the rookie like a dog?If they can't cure this rookie, it is tantamount to directly declaring that they are inferior to Kobe and Iverson.

Wanting these rebellious masters who came out in the 90s to admit that they are not as good as their old enemies who have fought against each other all year round is almost like asking for their lives.

Offensive and defensive transition, Bobcats attack, Ye Han and Pierce face off.

Pierce's defense was far more difficult than he imagined. While possessing impressive strength, his agility and speed were also excellent. After fighting Ye Han last time, he knew that his younger brother Tony Allen couldn't defend Ye Han. He's ready to do it himself.

Unlike the last time when Ye Han was not taken seriously, after knowing that Ye Han would return in this game, Pierce carefully studied Ye Han's playing style this time, understood Ye Han's weaknesses, and took out the same skills as in previous games. The completely different defensive attitude of lazy defense caused great disturbance to Ye Han.

He hasn't played a game for half a month, and he hardly even practiced. Ye Han's body is fine, but the game feels a bit bad, and most of the time Ye Han can shoot at will without worry. Gerald Wallace and O'Neill Cafu rushed to grab the offensive rebound.But today only Gerald Wallace was alone in the paint, and his vitality and impact could not be displayed at all.

"bang"

Ye Han missed a fallback jumper, LaFrentz grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Bobcats always emphasized returning to defense. Even during the eight-game losing streak, Bickerstaff used his high pressure to command the team to develop good defensive habits. This time, Kapono and Blake got back to the defense immediately, and soon the others also got back to the defense.

But when it comes to positional defense, the Bobcats are completely at a disadvantage, too short!Gerald Wallace can defend power forwards well, but it's really difficult for him to defend centers.It's not because of his height. Most of the time, he doesn't suffer from defending power forwards who are [-] meters tall. His strong body is stronger than many power forwards. The few times he suffers are because the opponent's tonnage is bigger than him!

Now he plays center, directly facing the Celtics' biggest tonnage, center Gugliotta!
Payton broke through Blake's defense and then hung it to Gugliotta. The latter held high and hit the basket easily, and Gerald Wallace couldn't stop it at all.

The Bobcats' first choice is of course to find the game state for Ye Han and hand the ball to Ye Han.

Ye Han adjusted the angle of his shot, but it still missed.

The Bobcats continued to attack several times in a row, with the same result. Ye Han missed all 7 shots in a row after the start, and the excitement brought to the fans by the start turned into sighs one after another.

On the other hand, the Celtics took advantage of Pierce's restraint on the perimeter, Payton's control of the ball with the lingering power, and the advantage of the height and tonnage of the inside line to sieve the Bobcats' defense. After the first quarter, the Bobcats only scored 13 points. The Celtics scored 37 points!
Break between festivals.

Bickerstaff looked at Ye Han who was frowning tightly, his mind kept spinning.

Defense with Brezek?Bickerstaff shook his head. If there is a chance, he can take advantage of his good statistics, averaging 7 points and 6 rebounds per game, and he can be traded back as a good inside substitute, but his current laziness is only for collecting statistics. The appearance made Bickerstaff completely hopeless of him.

Some players have certain strength, but their strength is not enough to become the starter of a strong team, and their spirit is very high. Such players actually cause headaches for many coaches.The strong teams need them, but it is impossible to give them a starting position. After all, they are not strong enough. Let them play as substitutes, and they feel that they are not valued and buried.Such a player is still suitable for starting in a weak team to collect data and get a big contract.

Suddenly Bickerstaff thought that Ye Han was the strongest in the team...

"Ace, come here." Bickerstaff called Ye Han aside, took out the tactical board, and laid out the tactics in Ye Han's surprised face...

……

Soon the second quarter began, and the lineup of the Bobcats did not change much. It was still the lineup that was blown up in the first quarter. Blake and Hart partnered outside, Kapono, Ye Han, and Gerald Wallace. Play upfield.

But the position of the player surprised the fans again. Ye Han and Gerald Wallace switched positions, and Ye Han stood at the center position, defending Gugliotta!
Ye Han's head was full of black lines, and Bickerstaff called him aside to let him defend the opposing center!
