Chapter 315: Defeat the Raptors against the style of play (2)
For the first game of the upcoming playoffs, Adrian acted very indifferently. It was as if he was about to face an ordinary regular season. This indifferent attitude was obviously not right. Stan Van Gundy also
He wanted to say something. But he suddenly noticed that when Adrian said "Let's go" so calmly, everyone seemed to relax.
This change is most obvious in young players like Weaver and role players like Al Reed. When Adrian said such indifferent words, he even noticed Al Reed wearing a hearing aid.
A relieved smile appeared clearly on De's face.
"This guy is so weird!" Stan Van Gundy has also worked with several leadership-level star players. Dwyane Wade doesn't talk much, but he will also loudly encourage his teammates before important games. And De
Guys like White Howard and Shaquille O'Neal will tell some jokes during the game and use their entertainment cells to help their teammates relax. No one is as indifferent as Adrian, who only says one sentence and then
He took the lead and left the locker room.
Stan Van Gundy instinctively feels that a leader should not be like this. Although Adrian's indifferent look makes people relax easily, he feels that a real leader should be like O'Neal, who uses his jokes to inspire his teammates.
state. Or like that German mustache, he used his inflammatory speech to make everyone's brains congested, and rushed forward with a roar and tore all his opponents to pieces.
"Maybe I should also recruit an experienced veteran." Stan Van Gundy thought. He felt that Adrian was like this because he did not have enough experience. Although he has the ability and mentality of a leader, but his experience as a leader
It’s not quite enough.[
A truly mature team should have a veteran who is popular and has rich playoff experience to take on the responsibility of a locker room leader and use their experience to help young people better adapt to the rhythm of the playoffs.
Both the Magic and the Raptors fielded the strongest lineups they could field.
The Raptors' starting center is Andrea Bargyani, power forward Chris Bosh, small forward: Jason Kapono, shooting guard: Jamario Moon, point guard: tj
-Ford.
Jason Kapono and Jamario Moon are both swingmen. Kapono is good at offense. Moon is good at defense. Generally speaking, the Raptors choose Kapono to start and Moon as a substitute.
.
It is very rare for Jamario Moon to partner with Jason Kapono in the starting forward lineup at the shooting guard position. This choice is suspected to be aimed at Adrian. The reason why Jamario Moon is so popular
Long stayed without hesitation because of Moon Man's strong defense. Of course, letting him play at the shooting guard position cannot be to defend Maurice Evans and Keith Bogans, who are also weak in defense.
.The only reason is to deal with Adrian's powerful offensive.
As for the Magic, they have also made some modifications to their main lineup. Center: Marcin Gortat. Power forward: Rashard Lewis, small forward: Shida Turkoglu, shooting guard: Keith.
-Bogans, point guard: Adrian.
Today, Kwame Brown was put on the bench, allowing Lewis to take up the power forward position again. The main reason is that Lewis will not suffer due to his thin body when defending Bosh. Bosh is also a lanky man.
On the inside, his strength may be better than Lewis's, but not by much. Lewis doesn't suffer too much from guarding him, and Marcin Gortat's defense is tough enough. Although his defensive ability is not good enough,
He is strong and difficult to defend. But guarding the basket is reassuring. In addition, Turkoglu is very fast and can take on the role of supplementary defense to a certain extent. Therefore, the inside line of the two partners is in front of them.
Against the Raptors' relatively weak inside line, it appears to be a balanced offense and defense, which may be quite powerful.
On the contrary, on the offensive end, Lewis's three-pointer threat is much greater than that of Kwame Brown, and Turkoglu's three-pointer is also not weak. The purpose of starting the two together is to withdraw.
Empty the Raptors' basket, further weakening the Raptors' already weak interior defensive capabilities, so that Adrian can better dominate the Raptors' interior.
There was a jump ball between Gortat and Bargnani. As the whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown high by the referee on duty. When the basketball reached the commanding height, Gortat and Bargnani took off almost at the same time.
He raised his hand and hit the basketball in the air. His two big hands almost touched one side of the basketball in no particular order!
"Ah~~~~!"
Marcin Gortat in the air opened his mouth and let out a roar. Although he touched the basketball at the same time, Bargnani obviously could not gain any advantage in the confrontation with Gortat.
Gnani suddenly lost control of the basketball in his hands. Under the attack of the two men, the basketball floated towards the Magic half court.
In one step, Adrian grabbed the basketball before TJ-Ford touched it. With his height and long arms, Adrian took the lead to grab the basketball. TJ-Ford waved his arm in annoyance and did not try to steal or intercept Adrian. He also
Knowing that he couldn't do such a thing, he turned around and retreated quickly.
When Adrian dribbled the ball to the three-point line, it was still TJ Ford who was defending him. However, although Jason Kapono and Jamario Moon were following their defensive targets, their sights were not clear from time to time.
When it was transferred to him, Adrian understood that the two guys should be really defending him, and he could even take a deeper step. The person who really defended him should be Jamario Moon, and Kapono was probably arranged.
Be prepared to assist in defending your mission at any time.
Adrian dribbled and cross-stepped and suddenly broke through to the right, easily breaking through TJ Ford's defense. As expected, he didn't defend himself seriously at all. He blocked him for a while, realized that he couldn't keep up, and immediately let go of the defense and moved.
The defensive target was Keith Bogans, and Jamario Moon rushed towards him.
Adrian suddenly stopped and jumped and passed the basketball high to Turkoglu. Then he moved down two steps and got stuck in the low post against Jamario Moon. Turkoglu
The basketball was immediately handed over to Adrian's hands again. Jamario Moon was stuck behind Adrian and could not interfere with his catch. Kapono's height was still somewhat different from Turkoglu's.
In addition, Turkoglu likes to use lobs when passing the ball, and Kapono is even less likely to interfere. (To be continued. If you like this work, () vote, monthly vote, your support is my greatest
