If an opponent's player scores consecutive points, what should the opponent's coach do?
Option a. Strengthen defense, such as double-teaming; b. Use foul tactics; c. Apply for a timeout; d. Put pressure on the referee.
The above are all common methods, and different coaches will have different choices, but at this time Edison had no choice but to apply for a timeout again to see if time could cool down his hand.
And Nowitzki's consecutive scoring also ignited the atmosphere at home. Originally, the Magic had the advantage in the opening game, and they were very dissatisfied, but they played very well, and it was not appropriate to boo them. Only Cuban was there like a madman.
He kept shouting and cursing everyone on the magic team, wondering what happened to his wife who was magicked yesterday.
Now when the Mavericks began to reverse the situation and the balance of victory tilted back to the home team, these spectators began to show their fanatical side. Everyone began to shout loudly along with the DJ's guidance.
And Cuban was even more exaggerated. He was so complacent that every time Nowitzki scored, he stood up and pointed at Nash, as if to say, "See, he is better than you, so I stay."
Got him."
After a short pause of more than 20 seconds, Edison did not arrange any specific tactics, but just kept emphasizing, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter, they can't maintain this kind of shooting rate all the time. If Nowitzki wants to score, let him score.
But others must defend me well and not let them blossom more." Edison avoided the important and did not let the players pay more attention to Nowitzki, and did not even talk to Brand, who was guarding him.
In fact, this is also a typical defensive idea. Focus on your strongest point and guard your second or even third scoring point. In this way, one person may score a lot, but others cannot, and the team's offensive rhythm will easily be disrupted.
For example, right now, the Magic can't guard a player of Dirk Nowitzki's level, but that's not a big problem, because it's reasonable and expected. No one in the league can guard him. But the opposite is true.
Say, if you just can't guard Nowitzki, if you let him score, how much can he do in a game? With the intensity of the NBA's confrontation, if you just let him shoot, he will be tired after taking 30 shots.
But the game is a battle of wits and courage. Edison here has laid out the tactics, and Johnson on the opposite side is also guessing Edison's thoughts, and then plans his strategy first.
After returning to the court, I don't know whether it was Johnson's arrangement or Nowitzki was tired and wanted to take a rest. In short, the German tank was no longer so active. Although he was still hanging around in the high position, he did not open his hand to ask for the ball.
Already.
It was Jet Terry who came to life at this time.
In fact, the player that the Magic are most afraid of right now is a player like Terry who is flexible, extremely fast, and can break through and shoot. Because this kind of player is difficult to guard with the Magic's current staffing.
Go with Iguodala, the height difference between the two is more than 10 centimeters, which is a different kind of mismatch between the small and the big. If it is just this point, it doesn't matter, it can be made up for. Iguodala is extremely talented, with his feet
The frequency is very fast, and even if he is shaken, he will rarely be unable to touch someone. Therefore, he can stick to the opponent, and then rely on the pressure of his muscles to prevent the opponent from passing by so easily. Even after passing by, the steps under his feet will be messed up.
So Edison often used him to guard the little Iverson.
But Terry is different from other little guys. Because other little guys suffer from physical disadvantages, they always try to avoid people and avoid physical contact with defensive players. But Terry's balance is special.
Well, he is very confident in himself and likes to find space to take action after confrontation. It doesn’t matter whether this space is obtained by knocking others away by himself or by others knocking him away.
Therefore, Iguodala's trick is useless against small players. His height has completely become a weakness. Therefore, Nash can only be defended. However, Nash's defensive ability is not good at all.
inside.
"The Magic's defense is very strong. Although they had a lot of ten points before, that was because of the personnel configuration. Many times Edison had to let Martin get more playing time, which reduced the team's defensive intensity. And now Roy
As soon as he came out, he filled this gap, so now the Magic's defense is really strong. I know this, and Johnson of the Mavericks also knows this. He knows very well that to win today's game, he must first defeat the Magic's defense. And the Magic's defense
There is a congenital flaw in Nash, and now the Mavericks plan to start from here."
"That's right. Now it seems that Johnson's idea is to break the surface with points, starting with Nowitzki and now Terry. These two points are unstoppable to the Magic. Get the advantage from here and open a hole.
Then gradually penetrate the Magic's defensive circle." The two commentators were analyzing the situation of the game, and they said Thibodeau and Edison on the sidelines also felt it.
"We have to stop that guy. We can't let him score like this. Our defense has begun to mess up. We can't continue like this. Tom, do you have any good ideas?" Edison watched as Terry took a step away from Nash again and then made a shot.
, reduced the score between the two teams to only 4 points, and he couldn't bear it anymore. So he turned to consult Thibodeau, who built the team's defensive system, to see what good ideas he could come up with.
"I suggest increasing the player's rotation speed and letting Steve push him near the baseline. Let him only choose to shoot in the corner or break through along the baseline. The corner is the most difficult to hit, and once he misses the shot, he will retreat.
The speed of the defense will also be affected. If he breaks through along the baseline, Brand and Howard can take care of him."
Thibodeau is definitely the league's top defensive guru, and he talks about it all. But Edison quickly grasped the key point, "So how can Nash push Terry to the bottom line?"
"This requires him to block Terry's cutting line while not giving him a chance to make a long shot."
"According to what you said, Nash is needed to guard Terry, right?"
"Yes."
After hearing what Thibodeau said, Edison immediately gave him a roll of his eyes, and then said to himself, "If I could prevent it, why would I ask you? It's a pity that Tony Allen accidentally sprained his foot and cannot play in this game, otherwise how could you be allowed to specialize?"
So arrogant."
Thibodeau couldn't stand it anymore, and Edison could only find a way on his own.
Edison walked back and forth twice on the sidelines, and suddenly caught sight of a person from the corner of his eye, and then slapped his thigh suddenly, "How could I forget about him?"
I believe that many readers will smile knowingly at this time, and then think, "Finally, after Roy was released from the ban, Rondo was also released from the dark room." Congratulations on your correct answer.
Rondo's current position in the Magic is very embarrassing. Needless to say, the Magic's starter Nash, in fact, Rondo did not expect that a rookie like himself could quickly seize power from the league's MVP. But the Magic guard's first
The substitute is not him, but Tony Allen.
After a season of training, Tony Allen is very stable and knows what he can do and what the coach asks him to do. Once he comes on the court, he starts with defense honestly. Because he can't shoot accurately, he doesn't do much.
When shooting, he acts like a blue-collar player. On the offensive end, although he has not practiced Nash's excellent passing, he rarely makes mistakes. And because he usually plays at the same time as Martin, Martin's magical running can maximize
The shortcomings of reducing his lack of imagination in passing.
But Rondo is not good. First of all, he is not as practical as Tony Allen. He always thinks of attacking and breaking through by himself. He always thinks of himself as Allen Iverson. The fact that he likes to break through and take shots is not a big problem in Edison's view. After all,
Rondo's breakthrough is indeed very powerful, but it is not the most reliable means of scoring. But now that it is the regular season, there is no need to be so harsh.
What Edison really couldn't accept was Rondo's mistake. Because he was promoted by Edison and entered the league a year early, he still has problems with many basic abilities. The power and method of passing the ball are not perfect, coupled with the Magic's super fast speed.
The rhythm of the game requires players to pass with higher precision. The result is that Rondo often makes mistakes when organizing and is intercepted by opponents. For a team like the Magic that always plays fast advancement, what they fear most is mistakes. Originally, everyone went to
He rushed forward, but a mistake resulted in a change of possession. No one had time to retreat, and the opponent's counterattacks were accurate.
So now Rondo has fewer and fewer opportunities to play, and he can only show up during garbage time.
But is Rondo willing to be the last substitute? He is definitely not willing to do so. He always thinks that he can one day command the team like Nash and become the brains of the team. But he knows that this is not realistic in the short term.
, so he often learns from veteran Nash players. He still trains with the team in a down-to-earth manner every day, actively cheers for his teammates during games, and does not cause trouble because of his lack of playing time.
Now when he heard the head coach calling him, Rondo stood up immediately, and then came to Edison's side in two steps.
"Rajan, you go on the court later and defend the opponent's point guard Terry. I don't care what method you use, but you have to force him to the bottom line. Let him only choose to shoot in the corner or break through along the bottom line. Understand.
Yet?"
"Yes, coach."
Edison saw a flash of determination on Rondo's young face, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Nash is on the court, so you don't have to control the offense. But this is a good opportunity for you, understand? You can observe at a close distance how Nash judges the situation on the court and passes the ball, which will help you.
It will be huge. Don't be too ambitious. Nash didn't become MVP in a day. Only by observing and learning bit by bit can you achieve results in the future and be the kind of point guard you imagined."
"I know Coach."
"But the first task is to guard against Terry. If you can't do it, I will replace you soon, do you understand?"
Rondo looked into Edison's eyes, nodded vigorously, and then went to the referee's seat to replace Roy.
