NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.
Chapter 221 Off-Ball Movement Pick-and-Roll Tactics
At this moment, the referee standing between the two groups of people was thinking about quickly blowing the whistle for all of them, so that the rest of the people could finish the game in peace and tranquility.
"Do you know how much pressure I was under standing in the middle of a fight between two gang leaders?"
It’s a pity that both sides just don’t take action, and the main focus is on restraint!
The referee had no choice but to look at the players on both sides with a warning look, but it was useless! Then he blew the whistle to start the game like a prayer.
Hanamichi beat Bill Wennington on the jump ball and passed the ball to Das.
The Toronto Raptors took the lead in the first round of the game.
Just as Das was about to show off his skills after receiving the ball, he was closely guarded by his old acquaintance Ron Harper on the opposite side.
It's true, Ron Harper lowered his center of gravity, deliberately trying to make things difficult for Das. No, he deliberately prevented Das from passing.
After last season's games, teams across the league know the tactics the Raptors are likely to use at the start of the game:
Hanamichi successfully jumped the ball ~ Das dribbled the ball ~ the quarterback made a long pass ~ Hanamichi received the ball under the basket to complete the attack.
Therefore, before the game, the Bulls head coach Phil Jackson specifically instructed Ron Harper to press and defend Big S as soon as possible, or at least delay time until their center Bill Wennington was in position.
"The Chicago Bulls' defense at the beginning was very targeted, directly cutting off the engine of the Toronto Raptors. It seems that it is not easy to easily score against this Bulls team that once won 72 games!"
"But the Raptors' transformation speed is also first-rate in the league. They were already a playoff team when they first entered the league last season, and they have already won 18 games in a row at the start of this season. They are coming on strong. It seems that this game is bound to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers."
"All I can say is that the two teams playing on the court are the teams that all the teams in the league that aspire to win the O'Brien Cup this season need to pay special attention to!"
The two commentators on the scene spoke very quickly.
Unlike the Bulls who lost another game yesterday, the Raptors continued their undefeated streak at the start of December, defeating the Houston Rockets, Kemba Cavaliers, Washington Bullets and Atlanta Hawks.
As of the day of the match against the Chicago Bulls, the Raptors had an 18-0 record and were leading the Eastern Conference.
The Bulls first lost to the Jazz and then lost to the Heat, with a record of 17 wins and 2 losses, firmly securing second place in the Eastern Conference.
So, it would be strange if the [Old Rogue] was in a good mood. Didn’t he say hello to his old friend, the evil leader Oakley during the warm-up?
In addition, in this year's Player of the Month selection, many tabloid reporters said that he did not deserve the title, and players like Karl Malone and Flower, who had good statistics and good team records, were not inferior to him.
According to him, forget about Karl Malone. After all, we just experienced his "iron elbow" last month. At most, the league can choose one player of the month in the Eastern and Western Conference, so there won't be any fight over the award.
But who is this Flower? Oh, the red-haired guy who made me work overtime on signature sneakers, hum! Want to win the monthly best, you are still a little naive!
On the court, [Little Flying Squirrel] did not launch an offensive, but was not in a hurry at all. After crossing half court with the ball in his left hand, he raised and opened his right hand, then clenched it into a fist.
In the Bulls' half, almost all the Raptors players started moving and began to run without the ball along a chaotic trajectory, but while running, they seemed to unintentionally perform a pick-and-roll on the offensive player with the ball!
Phil Jackson saw through the off-ball pick-and-roll tactic at a glance. It was because John Stockton's statement in an interview with reporters after the win, "The pick-and-roll game is high," was really 13 points too high.
Although he advocates the triangle offense and may not necessarily look down on the pick-and-roll tactics, there is no doubt that the Jazz with the pick-and-roll tactics do have the potential to compete head-on with the Bulls. Now, we have to wait and see whether there will be another such team!
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Hanamichi seemed to feel that the lens of the coach opposite him lit up, and he missed his dad a little!
Back to the court, Das was holding the ball on the left side. Doug Christie faced the pressure from "Old Rogue" at the top of the three-point arc. He suddenly faked to the left and made a move to get closer to Das to receive the ball, causing "Old Rogue" who was defending at full strength to move to the left immediately.
So far this season, [Old Rogue] has averaged about 2 steals and 1 block per game, and has a record of 6 blocks and 4 steals in a single game. It can be said that he has maxed out both offense and defense.
Compared to him, Doug Christie was a rookie. Not to mention going to catch the ball, even if he went to celebrate a birthday, Boss Joe wouldn't let him pass.
From the perspective of Boss Joe, his defense was very successful; but from Doug Christie's perspective, his goal was also achieved, so he suddenly made a reverse run without any warning and went straight to the basket through the gap in the middle.
At the same time, Walter Williams acted as a wall from the other side, giving Das space to break through and pass the ball.
At this moment, the old rogue had to face the "flying squirrel" Damon Stoudemire who was dribbling and breaking through without any defense from the right side at 45 degrees, and the "scalpel" Doug Christie who was running without the ball and going straight to the basket at the 12 o'clock position.
"Wonderful!"
The commentator immediately saw the power of this off-ball pick-and-roll tactic, it's because of it!
Raptors head coach Dennis was sitting on the bench and smiled: "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
He copied and improved on the Timberwolves' offensive tactics: "Copycats are awesome!"
[Old Rogue] made a prompt decision and chose to pinch the 178cm short guy on the opposite side. This was not because Big S is better than Doug Christie, but because his own teammate, the "innate unit of measurement" who was about to provide backup defense for Doug Christie ~ Pi Er was more trustworthy.
Das vs. Jordan!
If this was the fledgling Stoudemire last season, he would definitely choose to play one-on-one with Jordan, just like the 76cm rookie of the Philadelphia 183ers who made him famous not long ago.
But this time, looking at Hanamichi standing in position under the basket:
"Sorry, the Raptors have a new leader!"
Das's breakthrough is very clever and technical. Just looking at the foundation of his breakthrough, few people in the league can match him.
However, his breakthrough and change of direction were still well controlled by Boss Qiao, and he even lost some time because of a fake change of direction.
Just as the "Old Rogue" was trying his best to use his body to suppress the slippery "rat" from getting close to the inside, Das realized that his shooting space was almost completely blocked by the man in front of him. He quickly shot and passed the ball to Hanamichi behind Boss Joe, who was one step away from the basket.
The pass was very risky, and it could even be said that it was almost intercepted by the Old Rogue's ape arms.
After receiving the ball, Hanamichi confronted Rodman, the "Big Worm" who was defending him, with his back to the basket. Then, regardless of the latter's situation, he turned around and slammed the basketball with the ball, turned around strongly and slammed the ball into the basket, and gave Rodman an "iron elbow".
Rodman, who was already unstable due to Hanamichi's strong body, was completely elbowed and flew two steps away. When he looked up again, the annoying red-haired guy had already taken off and made a violent dunk.
