Thanks to the puppet master of hell for the reward

After Joe Johnson took the rotation and rested in the second quarter, the Hawks didn't even have a reliable scoring point. And the defensive end couldn't guard against the Magic, so the rhythm began to collapse.
In fact, this is also the characteristic of the Magic team. The league's top offensive speed, coupled with a very oppressive defense. If the opponent's defense and offense are one level worse than the Magic, they will be overwhelmed in an instant, and then pulled.
Open the score.
Other teams in the league are good at offense, such as the Wizards and Mavericks, but cannot defend well. If the opponent has good touch, it will be a stalemate. As for the Spurs and Pistons, which are good at defense, they cannot play such a stormy offense and lack explosive scoring power. 5
A score of 10-0 in a minute would not be called a climax.
After a 12-3 spurt, at halftime, the score between the two teams was 59-42.
Generally speaking, during the halftime break of a game, the commentator will first briefly analyze the game, and then play various advertisements in turn. Of course, if you are watching from home, there may be lunchtime sports news.
But what's different today is that the frequency of advertising is not high. Every once in a while, the broadcast screen will switch back to the stadium. After more than ten minutes, we just keep broadcasting the situation in the stadium, waiting for Edison.
Out.
The original basketball photojournalists around the court have been driven away, and now there are Hollywood paparazzi sitting on the sidelines, each holding a long gun or a short cannon in their hands and aiming in all directions.
ABC announced early that this game would be broadcast live nationwide, and everyone knew that this game would definitely attract the attention of various media, so many celebrities came to Orlando to participate in this grand event.
So now these paparazzi are happy. They don’t have to chase people all over the world. They can take pictures here once. Of course, the most popular one is Rachel McAdams. Even though she is not the most famous on the scene, there is no doubt that
This is her home court.
But at this time, Edison was sitting comfortably on a large lounge chair in the home team's locker room, talking to Nash and others who were receiving massages elsewhere, waiting for the second half of the game to begin.
At this time, the Magic players were also confused. Finally, Howard broke the situation. He came to Edison and asked seriously.
"Coach, why don't you go out and do something today? Just lie here, okay? Rachel is outside?"
After hearing this, Edison looked up at Howard, and then replied feebly, "What am I going to do, sing and dance? It's my girlfriend's birthday, and I can't have a candlelight dinner with her, and I have to lead the team to play games, what else could be better than this?
Worse?"
"Uh~~Actually..." After hearing what Edison said, Howard wanted to argue and explain, but Edison immediately interrupted him.
"Dwight, let me tell you a fact. If I go out today and do a performance, then every year from now on, they will arrange for us to compete. Do you know what this means? It means that I will not be able to rest peacefully every year.
I want to live a private life with my girlfriend. This is why I don’t go out. This is the truth.”
"Then how do you explain it to the media?" Nash listened to Edison's words. Although he understood it very well, he raised questions from another angle.
"Explanation? Explain what. Have I publicly said what will happen today? No. So there is no need to explain anything. It is all their own thinking. If there is any trouble, it is theirs. It has nothing to do with me."
At this time, Edison gave full play to the bachelor and hooliganism deep in his heart, and spoke extremely freely and freely.
Edison and others were calm in the locker room, but outside they were on fire. Until the last 2 minutes before the start of the game, Edison walked out of the tunnel with the players. Although their reason told them that there was no chance,
Deep in their hearts, they still have a glimmer of hope...
And this last bit of expectation was finally broken by the electronic bell that started the second half of the game.
At the beginning of the second half, the starting players of the Magic and Hawks returned to the court.
Eagles coach Woodson had already made a tactical adjustment to the team in the first half, but it did not have any good effect, so he rearranged the new play style in the second half.
Magic veteran Pat Garrity was sent on the court to replace Childress at small forward.
"Let Garrity appear, what do you think he thinks?" Edison rubbed his chin and tilted his head and asked Thibodeau.
"He should be allowed to defend Hardaway on defense, and provide the ability to make three-pointers from the outside on the offensive end." Thibodeau thought for a moment and gave his answer.
"It makes no sense. Our defense is very tight, and their mutual coverage is not good enough. Garrity can't get open shots. How can they guarantee their shooting percentage? And our rebound protection is also very good. If they can't make the shot, they can't rush."
Offensive rebounds, what's that? Is it just to open up the space, what's the use? Besides, he's just a role player who takes one or two shots. Is it possible to play around him?" Edison couldn't figure it out, and neither could Thibodeau.
A reasonable explanation cannot be given, and targeted arrangements cannot be made in advance. Adjustments can only be made based on the reaction of the game.
But after playing two rounds, Edison and Thibodeau discovered that they really thought too much. They always felt that every substitution made by the opposing coach should have a unique meaning and a specific tactical effect, but in reality many times
The opposing coach won't think so much.
For example, if Woodson lets Garrity play now, there is no more tactical meaning. It really means letting him stand in the corner to expand the offensive space and make the Magic's interior a little more empty.
Although the Hawks' biggest player now is Al Harrington, with the arrival of Joe Johnson, the team's training focus has quietly shifted.
And Woodson is now following the wishes of the team's top management, starting to train Johnson, letting him play with the ball, and other players create opportunities for him. The original small forward of the Hawks, whether it was Childress or this year's rookie Marvin Williams,
Sidhu is a muscular type, and they are only threatening when they are close to the basket.
So if they were on the court, they would encroach on Joe Johnson's space. So Woodson replaced them all and let Garrity, a player with long shots who can stretch the space, come on.
In fact, Woodson also has a little caution in mind. Garrity is an old player of the Magic. Generally speaking, old players always show stronger abilities when they face their old club. Woodson also wants to see his character.
In any case, the tactic itself still depends on Joe Johnson's performance and whether he can cause trouble for the Magic's defense.
Many people think that Joe Johnson's current achievements are mainly due to his accurate shooting. But in fact, his breakthrough is also very powerful, but because he does not have amazing speed and jumping height, it is not easy to be remembered.
The strongest point about Joe Johnson's breakthrough is that he has a balanced ability between his left and right hands. No matter which hand he can skillfully cross-step to break through. His left-hand dribbling is so proficient that he can do various crossover movements, such as single-leg crotch and scissor-kick double moves.
His crotch is very fancy, and even people who watch him occasionally think he is left-handed.
This is very remarkable. Although many players are very skilled at dribbling with their left hand, they only know how to change direction with their right hand (the final decisive change of direction is to move the ball with the right hand), such as Wade, Westbrook, etc.
No matter how they dribbled before, when passing people, especially when the defensive players are very tight, when two people are in physical contact, they usually control the ball with their right hand. If it is left hand, their speed may still be very high.
It's fast, but not flexible enough. It's basically a one-time deal, and there's no room for taking it back to do other actions. Joe Johnson's direction-changing movements are the same with both hands. For example, we saw him knocking Pierce down in that sequence.
The shot that made Pierce lose his center of gravity was shot with his left hand. There are not many people in the league who are as skilled in both left and right hands as he is. There are only a few people such as Kobe, Deron, Paul, Rose, and Crawford.
.….
Being able to be ambidextrous is not the key, the key is to combine it with Joe Johnson's top cross-stepping ability in the league. This is why he was once considered the best shooting guard in the league after Kobe Bryant and Wade.
Generally speaking, players who break through with cross-steps are divided into three categories:
The first type is the speed type represented by Iverson and Wade. Their cross steps are very fast. After a step, they quickly change the direction of the ball and then pass. For this kind of pass, the defensive player has the eyes and brains.
I was able to react, but my body couldn't react. I knew they were going to break through and I knew they were going to pass over, but I just couldn't keep up and couldn't turn around in time.
The second category is the amplitude category represented by Crawford and Irving. Their cross-step speed is not slow, but it is not outrageous. It is an acceptable range at the NBA level. But their pull range is particularly large.
, their own center of gravity swings very much, and often behind their backs. If you look at the swing of these two people's bodies before passing, it is no exaggeration to say that adding a red rope is like twisting a Yangko. Therefore, their passing is very deceptive.
Often when people pass by, the defensive players don't even react. They don't know what's going on and are still looking for it.
The third category is the rhythm category represented by Joe Johnson. In addition to him, Rose is also there, but Rose is faster and can also be counted in the speed category.
Joe Johnson is outstanding. In addition to the left and right direction changes, there are also changes in rhythm from front to back. Joe often suddenly pauses when dribbling forward. When the defensive player is stunned, he chooses to suddenly start forward again, or behind his back.
Dribbling with a crossover action, or stepping back to shoot directly. In this way of passing, the player is not very fast, but the speed of hitting the ball is very fast. The moment of change, the ball is shot so fast that people can't react. The defenders
It's easy to lose track of it. Of course, because he keeps adjusting the speed of his progress, the rhythm of the shot or layup after the change of direction will be very good, unlike some people who speed up the breakthrough and the result is
I can't stop the car under the basket, and my shot is always too powerful.
These three types of dribblers are all very practical, but the third type is not as enjoyable as the first two, so Joe Johnson will always be ignored.

I was very pleased and grateful to see Lin Yiyu in the comments who was the first to pay attention to this book.
