Chapter six hundred and fourteen: hard to guard against
The most basic thing in basketball is dribbling! If you can play basketball, you will definitely dribble, even those big centers will do the same.
At least everyone learns basketball with dribbling. Whether it is shooting, layup, dunking or playing tricks, their leaders' gestures are dribbling. Speaking of which, dribbling is the easiest thing to learn and the most difficult thing to learn among all the techniques.
It is easy to say that it is because almost everyone can shoot it twice, but it is difficult to say that it is because he is easy to learn, but it is difficult to master it. In fact, to put it bluntly, it mainly depends on when the opponent goes from dribbling to offensive state.
Breakthrough is a continuation of the dribble state, and shooting is the end of the dribble state. Therefore, dribble looks simple, but it is actually very difficult. Just like Zhang Kong now, his dribble has reached an extreme and reached a peak.
Facing Zhang Kong, Rondo expressed his calmness. Although he was a little surprised by Zhang Kong's shot, he did not care too much.
With two balls, he was sure that Zhang Kong must have made progress again, and the progress was very large.
What he has to do now is to test Zhang Kong's true level, and then the coach will determine the tactics.
Doug Rivers is not a bad coach, on the contrary, he can be regarded as one of the best defensive coaches in the league.
Since the Qiansheng coaches have withdrawn from the league one after another, Doug Rivers and other young players will definitely take over the guns in the hands of these old guys and continue their careers. Among the Qiansheng coaches, Old Nelson has stopped doing it, Sloan has stopped doing it, Pat Riley ran to the Heat to be general manager, Larry Brown has stopped doing it, Phil Jackson has decided to stop doing it after the end of this season. Among the remaining Qiansheng coaches, there is only one old George of the Nuggets, but Old George has throat cancer, and it is estimated that his coaching career will not be too far away, and among the remaining coaches.
Doug Rivers can definitely be ranked first. Rondo has already noticed the difference between Zhang Kong, let alone Doug Rivers. Doug Rivers looked at the field in front of him and his eyes gradually narrowed. He began to study tactics.
Speaking of defense, Doug Rivers can have a say better than Byron Scott, but the premise is that he needs to know Zhang Kong's background, and Zhang Kong seems to know his thoughts. In the next few offenses, Zhang Kong did not take action.
Just using his pass to start to tear open the opponent's defense. Zhang Kong's pass was like those thin lines that split the flesh. Others really couldn't stand Zhang Kong's pass. As long as the player on his side ran to the position and threw away half of his body, Zhang Kong could pass the ball over and instantly break through the opponent's line of blocking. This is also Zhang Kong's strongest ability.
"Good ball, Zhang Kong's pass really makes the opponent unable to organize an effective defense. It seems that Hibberdes' departure still caused a lot of losses to the Celtics!" Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines looked at the situation on the field and made his own commentary. Although he doesn't like the Cavaliers' open offensive routines, it does not prevent him from liking players like Zhang Kong.
In addition, the Cavaliers' current defense is really perfect. Only by coaches who are competing with each other and collide with each other will create such an offensive and defensive lineup. If it were Jeff Van Gundy, it would definitely make the Cavaliers a defensive team, but this would also kill Zhang Kong's talent. Jeff Van Gundy is better at using center and inside, but Jeff Van Gundy has never been good at using it on the outside, and the Cavaliers' strongest offensive points come from the outside.
At 1 minute and 11 seconds, Zhang Kong made a wonderful pass from McGrady, the latter made a layup, and at 2 minutes and 28 seconds, Zhang Kong made a hit to Milicic, the latter made a mid-range shot, 2 minutes and 59 seconds, Gerald missed a mid-range shot, and after being grabbed by Zhang Kong, he passed it to Jamison. The latter hit the mid-range shot in front of Garnett, which gave Garnett some clues, let him know that Jamison is not the same as last year. At 4 minutes and 26 seconds, Zhang Kong broke through and passed it to Milicic, but Milicic did not attack. After shook O'Neal Jr., he attracted Rondo's attention and handed the ball back to Zhang Kong. Zhang Kong hit a three-pointer again. Although it seemed that the Cavaliers were scoring goals, the Celtics were not too swaying in the scene.
After all, the Celtics' offensive points are no less than those of the Cavaliers, especially the two points of the second and third positions. As long as the Ray Allen in the second position comes up, he doesn't care how the opponent will defend, and he can get whatever he can shoot three-pointers.
Pierce in the third position, the guy's surname Ren is also very impressed. As long as the game is not over and there is anyone fighting on the field, it must be Pierce. Even Garnett cannot compare with Pierce in this regard. This guy who has been stabbed for more than a dozen times but has not yet died, in addition to having super vitality, the surname Ren is also full.
When the first quarter was 8 minutes and 13 seconds, the Cavaliers fought against the Celtics, 16-14, and the Cavaliers led the opponent by 2 points.
Looking at such a score, it feels very strange, right? Yes, there is actually nothing strange about such a score.
The goals mentioned above are almost all the goals of the Cavaliers. Although the Celtics lost a lot of defensive strength after Hibberdeau, they have not yet lost to the point where they could not be prevented. In order to hide their true level, Zhang Kong on the Cavaliers only took three shots in the first quarter, hitting two three-pointers, and one of them did not hit a mid-range shot. His mid-range shot was only 80, which was not very high.
Apart from his two three-pointers, the other Cavaliers did not hit three-pointers. The Celtics' 14 points, except for Garnett's two points, were all obtained by Ray Allen and Pierce. There is no way, the Cavaliers' defense is also very sharp. After the substitute lineup came on the court, the Celtics did not overtake as usual. Now the Celtics' substitute lineup is very perfect.
Of course it just looks like Murphy, Jeff Green, Glen Davis, Bradley, etc...
But not many people who can really come up to play are West, Jeff Green, Glen Davis and Renal Christic. These four guys, Ray Allen had to come up to play the sixth man, but the Cavaliers' lineup is even more perfect than them.
Five or five, the Cavaliers don't need the starter to play with substitutes on the court, and the time for substitutes belongs to Carter.
After Carter came on the court, he made a mid-range shot and then a layup. In addition to him, the other substitutes of the two teams did not score a single point. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Celtics by 6 points 20-14. In fact, it seems that the Cavaliers' offense is not on the road now, but the Cavaliers are not in a hurry because they have not started yet.
"Okay, now you can see the opponent's weakness clearly. Garnett's physical strength has already been problematic. There is also Ray Allen in the second position. He has been playing with a substitute and his body will definitely not be able to withstand it. Of course, there are Rondo in the first position and O'Neal in the fifth position. Generally speaking, the Celtics' lineup is a loophole. As long as the attack is proper, kill them in the second quarter!"
During the break in the first quarter, Byron Scott began to draw his own offensive tactics on his small tactical board.
The Cavaliers, who defended one quarter, finally started to counterattack in the second quarter, but the Celtics first started to counterattack in the second quarter.
After six points behind in the first quarter, the Celtics seemed to be finally awakened. In the second quarter, the big baby Glen Davis from the inside made a layup, and then Jeff Green made a mid-range shot when facing Hayward, helping the Celtics narrow the score to two points. However, at this time the Cavaliers' offense also came, and Sessions had a great advantage in speed against West.
With a single, Sessions broke through West and made a layup, widened the score, and pulled Hayward. He missed the basket at the basket, found the basketball where Hollins failed to hit, and made a mid-range shot, widened the score again. At this time, Carter also showed his power.
He hit the team's first three-pointer except Zhang Kong from the outside, and the six-point difference instantly turned into nine points.
The Celtics had to replace Pierce in advance. In the second quarter, Ray Allen had already left the court, but Pierce did not save the Celtics' defeat after he came on the court. He was still forced to take over by Carter and others. After replacing Garnett, the two sides were barely tied. One on the Cavaliers and one on the Celtics. The score difference between the two sides remained at 7 minutes and 5 points until 5 minutes and 26 seconds left before the midfield game, the Cavaliers made a substitution adjustment.
Zhang Kong took the bench to replace Sessions, Milicic came on the field, and Ryan Hollins was replaced. The current lineup of the Cavaliers is as follows: center Milicic, power forward jj Hickson, small forward Gordon Hayward, shooting guard Vince Carter, and point guard Zhang Kong. Such a lineup is obviously another Cavaliers' style of play, and this style of play is called the "charge" tactic by Zhang Kong and others. There are three powerful breakthrough points in this lineup, jj Hickson's inside breakthrough, Vince Carter's outside breakthrough, and Zhang Kong's all-around breakthrough, and Hayward and Milicic are both very versatile and can be used as a rear turret.
Seeing the Cavaliers put up such a lineup, Doug Rivers frowned. With his experience, he could naturally see the threat of this lineup, but even if he knew that this lineup was threatening, he had no choice. There was no one in the Celtics now!
