The Magic succeeded in a fast break, and the Bulls were not to be outdone. Chandler sent a ball from the backcourt, and Hinrich advanced past half court like a meteor, and then glanced at Ben Gordon on the side with his peripheral vision.
Generally, the common screens we see in games are for the big man in the paint to pull out, step on the three-point line and stand sideways to block the teammate with the ball. After completing the task, he will sprint back to the three-second zone at a speed of 100 meters.
Of course, the big man has returned to the three-second zone. Whether the ball can be passed in is another matter.
However, in addition to big man screening, there is another screening method that has been used more and more frequently by teams in recent years - screening between small men on the outside.
This change is closely related to the increasing physical fitness of NBA players.
In the early years, the NBA was not free of people with abnormal bodies, but relatively speaking, most of these animal-level figures were inside players, such as the four familiar centers. The physical requirements for outside players were much lower, just those one or two.
What people value more is speed, flexibility and jumping, while strength is a relatively underestimated additional attribute. As long as you don't suffer a lot in the matchup, it's fine. And even if you suffer from strength, you can also use technology.
, willpower, little black hands and the entire defensive system to make up for it. For example, the familiar Stockton, Payton, and even Nash now are like this. (In fact, Nash’s hand movements when defending in the early days of the Mavericks and Suns
It’s not clean, there are a lot of small moves, but they are not big and very subtle, and once the opponent passes you, he will stop chasing, so the referee usually doesn’t call it much.)
So you can imagine, if you let the three Stockton brothers cover for others, it can be said that no matter who they block, it can be said to be a scene of competing with their lives.
Of course, it has to be said that in the early years, point guards were not incapable of physical confrontation. Magic Johnson is a typical example.
If you watch the video of Magic's game now, you will find a particularly classic routine of the Lakers at that time - Johnson dribbles the ball at the top of the arc, and then Scott or Worthy intersperses it, and then Magic uses his butt to help them block the defense.
player. At this time, the opponent's defensive player will suddenly find that he has an excellent opportunity to double-team the opponent's ball-handling player, so he will not hesitate to give up the player he should be defending to double-team Johnson. But the result is usually the Magic's.
He can firmly protect the ball with his handsome dribbling skills on the court, and then use his superior vision to send the ball out and perform a classic showtime with his teammates.
Even now it seems that this process is almost impossible to copy, and one of the key nodes is Magic's ability to screen with the ball. It can be said that in the history of the NBA, there are only one person in my memory who can do this.
He is alone. After all, this guy is a beast who can play center and score 42 points in the finals, but he still has to play point guard. What this guy did is like stuffing a tank's engine and armor into a Xiali
, and then driving on the road to play bumper cars with others, which is completely bullying.
Okay, let’s put aside the outlier Magician. Starting from Kidd, a group of muscle groups gradually appeared on the perimeter of the league, and the representatives of them are Kidd, Billups and now Weiss, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Brooke. Although they can't do anything as exaggerated as Magic, it's still very easy to block people on the outside.
And Ben Gordon is also one of the players who can provide cover from the outside.
Ben Gordon himself is a guy with extremely strong physical fitness, and this guy is a bit similar to Maggette, that is, his lower body strength is only excellent, but his upper body strength is incredible.
You can look at this guy’s photos on Baidu and see his figure. Although it is not as thick as Maggette’s arms and thighs, it definitely has prominent lines and is obviously a bit out of proportion. It is no exaggeration to say that if I had that figure,
I went to work part-time at a bathing center. What kind of typing was there? It wasn’t enough to use the keyboard.
For cover, upper limb strength is very important, more important than lower limb strength.
Think about it, setting a screen is different from relying on a hit. The person you are blocking is moving and his base is unstable. Moreover, you are prepared in advance and the opponent is not prepared, so it is difficult to be knocked down. Of course
If you block O'Neal, just pretend I didn't say anything.
A good screen is to use your upper body to stifle someone. At this time, everyone's collision is mainly in the upper body, so the key is to keep your upper body stable, so that the opponent feels like he is hitting a wall, and then reduce his speed as much as possible to fight for your teammates.
time.
The Bulls are like this now. When Ben Gordon saw Hinrich's posture, he immediately understood what Hinrich was thinking without any eye contact.
As Hinrich took Nash to the wing, Ben Gordon had already set up there with a horse step, and Nash was immediately blocked.
Nash was blocked, but Roy reacted quickly and immediately gave up Ben Gordon to chase Hinrich. In fact, this is also the core content of the Magic defensive system created by Thibodeau - the No. 2 player helps Nash wipe his ass.
At this time, one of the disadvantages of outside player screening or pick-and-roll becomes apparent. No matter how successful your screen is, it is actually an exchange between position 1 and position 2. Although the defensive players have changed, in essence,
It's still a small attack on a small one, unlike internal and external cooperation, which can create opportunities for mismatched attacks.
However, Edison on the sidelines suddenly had an ominous premonition when he saw this scene, "Is there something wrong with being so defensive?"
Sure enough, after Hinrich took Roy away, he passed the ball back to Ben Gordon within a few steps.
"Ben Gordon played Nash in isolation. The Bulls' strongest horn faced the Magic's weakest defensive weakness. Scott is really good at calculating. He maximized his own advantages while also taking advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. He found it.
The key to victory, the Bulls have a chance to win." Courtside commentator Steve Kerr, as a member of the Bulls dynasty that year, began to unconsciously reveal his own tendencies.
As mentioned before, Ben Gordon became an outstanding scorer in the league as soon as he entered the NBA, and then won the honor of the Best Sixth Man in his rookie season. Although this season due to personnel changes, he was promoted to a starter.
, but the firepower is still there, and once he plays, it feels like he is possessed by Jordan. Now facing Nash, who is weak defensively, it is no exaggeration to say that Ben Gordon has no less than 20 ways to end this offense.
In the end, the young and energetic Ben Gordon chose the simplest, but also the most domineering method - a short pull-up three-pointer, just to bully Nash into slow jump and short jump.
The biggest offensive characteristic of Ben Gordon is that the more critical the moment, the more accurate he is, the more difficult the shot is, the more accurate he is, and the more unreasonable the timing of the shot, the more accurate he is.
Ben Gordon's shooting posture is very standard, and the arc of the ball is extremely large, which means that the area into the basket is large.
"Okay, it's in." Steve Kerr, as an old marksman, naturally has a cunning and vicious eye. He knew it was coming just by looking at the movement of the ball, and the final result was exactly what he said.
Empty brushes go into the basket.
"Tom, I think this tactic was specially arranged by the opponent. The Bulls will definitely do this often in the next games. They just want to use Ben Gordon to beat Nash and disrupt our defense." Edison turned his head towards Thibo.
Du said, and Thibodeau nodded in agreement, and then the two of them began to use their brains to come up with countermeasures.
As the game progressed, the confrontation between Nash and Ben Gordon also became the main theme, but Nash relied on threading the organization, while Ben Gordon relied on precise long-range shots to gain the upper hand in the direct dialogue between the two.
So halfway through the first quarter, the two teams were playing very stalemate. Although the Magic seemed to be playing more relaxedly, they actually did not take any advantage. The Bulls were very tight.
"I believe that Edison and Thibodeau, and even all the Magic fans who are doing this now, know what the problem is, but there is no way. This move of the Bulls is a conspiracy. As long as Nash and Ben Gordon are on the court, they only need one
A simple screen can create an opportunity for two people to face each other directly, and then Ben Gordon can crush Nash. This is hard power without any tricks. If the Magic is difficult to handle, they can't take Nash down."
Groom Albert watched the game and couldn't help but worry about the home team he had always admired.
"But the Bulls are not much better, and they are not solid either. Although Ben Gordon is playing well now, he is Ben Gordon, not Kobe or Iverson. His stability has always been problematic. And now the Bulls are giving up
He takes advantage of everyone else's firepower to fulfill his needs. Once his hands get cold and his scoring can't continue, the Bulls will be in danger."
The comment is always that some people are first and some are fifteen. Here, Albert is worried about the Magic, and over there, Cole starts to worry about the Bulls.
Edison looked at Ben Gordon who was like a god descending to earth, and then looked at Bulls coach Scott Scales who was walking around on the other side, and said to himself, "This is a dangerous move, but it's true.
It posed a problem for me."
Edison didn't think of a good way, so he subconsciously looked at his bench to see if he could get inspiration.
Not to mention, he turned around and suddenly spotted a person, and then an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"Kevin, get ready to play." Edison suddenly called Martin.
Martin was also surprised by Edison's move. You must know that since Roy recovered from injury, he has been firmly pressed on the bench, basically in the last minute or so of the first quarter or the beginning of the second quarter.
Only then can he get the opportunity to play. Unexpectedly, in the playoffs, his playing time will be advanced.
Although it was unexpected, Martin had already been prepared. He took off his coat and pants in one go and came to Edison's ear to listen to the mission arrangements.
"You replace Roy. After you appear, don't worry about anything else. I only have one request for you. If you do it, you will have completed the mission."
