Under Nash's command, the Magic retreated quickly. Only Brand fell behind due to objective reasons. But this was enough. As long as three people could come back immediately, it would be basically impossible for the opponent to counterattack.
.
Of course, it would be a different story if Iverson or Wade could break out of the game without any problems.
West passed the ball to Paul in the backcourt, and then followed the other teammates to press forward. In fact, from here we can see West’s current status in the team. Generally speaking, the one who serves the ball in the backcourt is the court.
The lowest-ranked player on the list. Although West has played very well this season, it is not enough to avoid the fate of being punished.
In fact, it is said that it would be better if P.J. Brown served a throw-in. Because Brown has no offensive ability, it would be meaningless for him to run into the opponent's half early. But West is different. He has the rare ability to play behind the ball in the league. He can go one step earlier.
Maybe he can get into a good position. But NBA is still a place where seniority is very serious. As a third-year pick who didn't play in the first two years, West was basically bullied. At least P.J. Brown has been in the league for many years.
The old youtiao still looks down on him.
The coach can't control this thing. It's completely a game culture generated by the players themselves as the NBA develops. Of course, the coach can make mandatory requirements, but basically no one will do such a thing that destroys tradition.[
Of course, the same goes for the Magic. If Howard and Brand are on the court, Howard will usually serve the baseline kick; if Josh and Howard partner, it will be Josh who will serve the baseline kick.
Nash beat Paul, and the competitive "Queen Bee" naturally planned to earn back some face.
Paul is very short. He is reported as 183m, but in fact he is probably just over 180m, which is obviously half a head shorter than Nash. But as the saying goes, "an inch short is an inch dangerous", and a small man has to survive in the NBA where there are so many people.
Going forward, the two key elements are speed and flexibility.
And Paul doubtless has achieved the pinnacle of these two points. (ps: I don’t want to say the extreme, because in my mind, the player who achieves the ultimate in speed and flexibility is Iverson). As a black player, his physical fitness is very good.
One step is as fast as lightning, and the direction can be changed flexibly.
Nash was not a player who was good at defense to begin with, and now he encountered someone like Paul who was almost incompetent on the offensive end. Naturally, he was frustrated.
But Nash is Nash. If one of them were to defend Paul, he would definitely be in a hurry, but Nash still maintained his grace. It was like waving his sleeves and not touching Paul. The whole process lasted about 2 seconds. Nash
Even the hair is not messy.
However, for the Magic's defensive system, Nash himself is a soy sauce. There is not much difference between him and him. The key is to occupy a hole. According to Captain Ginyu's words, it is to ensure the beauty of the formation.
After passing Nash, Paul appeared near the free throw line, but he had no chance to go to the basket because Howard had already pounced on him.
In fact, many people have misunderstandings about Howard's defense. Because Howard has height and is a master of blocking shots, some people think that Howard is an excellent low-post defensive player, but this is not the case.
Howard is the representative center of the 21st century. He is active and agile on the court. He has the ability to defend the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics and can also block the opponent's breakthrough. In today's era, defenders are very sharp in breaking through to the inside, so
Howard is the defensive player that every team wants because he can use his mobility to cover for teammates on defense, just like Kevin Garnett did before, but he is in the low post.
The one-on-one defense is not very strong.
Just like now, if traditional centers, such as O'Neal, Yao Ming and the like, would definitely not be able to save immediately, even the young O'Neal did not have such agility.
Some people may ask, what would happen if the inside line didn't save the ball, or if the ball was released slower?
First of all, we think that because the inside line is inside, guards with normal IQ or normal body will not rush to the basket. There are always exceptions for Nash. For example, Westbrook and Nate Robinson often do this kind of thing.
, as for which category the two of them belong to, everyone can decide by themselves.
Because generally small men will not rush inside, they only have two options at this position - passing and direct attack.
Let’s not mention passing the ball, because it is not easy to pass the ball immediately after passing someone, which is what everyone often calls a sudden score. This requires the player’s own ability to read the game extremely well, or the relationship between the two players.
The cooperation is tacit to the point where luck becomes a breeze.
So in most cases, the player's last choice is to shoot. The two most important points for shooting are rhythm and adjustment.
Adjustment is for rhythm, and rhythm needs to be adjusted.
Just like passing a ball, after a breakthrough, everyone's body will be in a tight state, and the arms and fingers will be as hard as wooden sticks. In this case, it is not impossible to hit the ball, it can only be said that
It all depends on God's will. So the player needs an adjustment to let the muscles relax again and the fingers regain softness.
Depending on each person's talent and ability, this recovery time is also very different. Think of Kobe, Arenas and the like, basically a sudden stop, and then they can re-find the balance point in the air to complete the shot; while Ginobi
People like Lee don't need balance at all, just twisting them together is his rhythm.[
But not everyone has this ability. Most players need to stop the ball or even dribble it on the spot, and then follow the textbook method to find the feeling of exerting force from their knees.
If it were Yao Ming, they would have no problem doing this, and they might even be ready to take another free throw. But it won't work when it comes to Howard. The great thing about Howard is that he doesn't give the other players a chance to adjust. You just thought here
Just shoot the ball and Howard will be in front of you. Although it is said that playing small has the advantage of mismatch, but that is when enough space and time are obtained. If two people are already close to each other, then the big man will take advantage.
Paul was no exception. Although he was very flexible, he was also surprised when Howard suddenly appeared in front of him. If this had been Paul later, he might have completely ignored it and just made a small throw, but now
He is still a rookie and has not yet mastered this trick.
So he can only pass the ball honestly and give offensive opportunities to his teammates.
When Paul broke through, West began to consciously pull out, and now he is standing a big step outside the paint area. For normal American inside players, this is an area without any threat.
But West is different. His shooting range is very far. It can be said that he is second only to Nowitzki and about equal to Boozer.
After West received the ball, he did not hesitate, bent his body into an arc, and then took the shot. The arc of the ball in the air was very large, and the range of the ball entering the basket was also large, and he hit a two-pointer.
When Edison saw Paul's pass, he turned to Rondo behind him and said, "Boy, did you see what was good about Paul's pass just now?"
Rondo thought for a moment and said, "The force of the pass is very good, not too big or too small. West doesn't need to adjust after receiving the ball. He can make shooting movements according to the force of the ball."
"anything else?"
"I can't think of anything." Rondo thought for a moment and shook his head.
"His understanding of his teammates."
As he spoke, Edison tapped the tip of Rondo's nose with his hand.
"In that position just now, in addition to playing for West, Paul could also choose to hit the ground to the inside and cooperate with P.J. Brown to play an inside and outside flourish. But he didn't because he knew that Brown's body was not as good as when he was young, and he also knew that
He does not have such keen offensive insight. Once he hesitates, Howard can turn to defend him. Although the West he chose looks far away from the basket, he is actually within his shooting range. So
If Paul's skills can be rated as 80 points for the ball just now, then his decision before passing the ball can be rated as 100 points, and the selection is perfect. The prerequisite for all this is his familiarity with his teammates. He knows that Brown is not good.
Know West can."
"And this is your biggest shortcoming now. You still don't know enough about the technical abilities of the players on the team. You don't know Iguodala's habits. Do they like to go to the middle or to both sides during fast breaks?
When walking, do you prefer to rush forward completely, or just push forward with strength? If you can do this, then you will be a completely higher level than you are now."
I'm not making this up. In fact, Rondo didn't know how to coordinate with his teammates until later. So we saw that when the Celtics were headed by him, Rivers put the entire team's organization on him.
Although Duo has created the ability to add 20 assists in many games, in fact many of his passing choices are very poor. The most obvious one is that he allows a large number of people to shoot in one step inside the three-point line.
This position can't have a high shooting percentage, nor can it get a 3-point bonus, so it's a big trap for teammates. Especially when Jet Terry turned into a 2-point shooter.
While Edison and Rondo were talking, the two sides had been going back and forth many times.
Many people say that Brand is the rock of the Magic, Nash is the guarantee, and Roy is the x-factor. Soon this unknown factor will let everyone see his ferocity.

Explain why there are so few updates.
I recently changed my job. I get up at 6 am every day and get home at 6 pm. There is no computer to code in between. After I get home, I eat, take a shower, and talk to my parents until 8 o'clock. In order to get up early, I now go to bed at 10 o'clock, so actually
The Internet only gives me 2 hours of coding and entertainment. In this case, I can only try my best to update.
In fact, I have been gritting my teeth in updating before, and many times the release time is after 12 o'clock. It's not that I delay it intentionally, but I really finish it at that time.[
Again, no matter what, this book won't be finished without seeing the championship.
