Chapter 318: Defeat the Raptors against the style of play (5)
The Orlando Magic locker room was filled with laughter.
Weaver listened to rp, humming softly in his mouth, and also twisted his body. It was as if he was not in the home team's locker room but on the dance floor of a disco.
Turkoglu, Lewis, Keith Bogans, and Maurice Evans gathered together and talked quietly, and laughter came from time to time. It seemed that Keith Bogans said something dirty.
The "sexy" joke made all three old men laugh at once.
Kwame Brown gets together with Marcin Gortat and Paul Millsap. Kwame Brown likes to discuss rebounding techniques with the two. Paul Millsap’s attitude towards rebounding
Needless to say, in his first season with the Pistons, he basically relied on his good rebounding skills to get relatively stable playing time at the highly competitive Pistons power forward position. Marcin Gortat is
In the second half of this season, he jumped from the bench to the starting lineup. His most important task in the team is to guard the basket and protect rebounds.
After Kwame Brown gradually found his position, his interest in offense was obviously reduced. These interests were transferred to fighting for rebounds and blocking shots.[
As for Adrian's silent attitude in the locker room, his teammates quickly accepted Adrian's special habit after winning one victory after another. He was at halftime.
He is used to meditating at the end of the game. According to his own words, this is to reflect on the mistakes made in the first half, but from the occasional slight snoring, everyone can tell that Adrian is taking advantage of the halftime break.
It's time to really take a rest. Although Adrian's playing time is strictly controlled below 38 minutes on most occasions, Adrian has played too many times, except when he took a rest due to a knee injury when he was with the Lakers.
Outside of the two games, Adrian never rested in any of the Magic's two months. Adrian played in 80 of the 82 games in the regular season, making him an iron man.
This is also due to Adrian's always healthy body.
As for the situation of the game, the players are not too worried. Although they are not leading by much, the situation is favorable, and the Raptors obviously have nothing to do with their offense. This favorable situation makes the Magic players unable to help themselves.
I am sure that they will be the ones to win at the end of the game.
The half-time break passed quickly. The only thing Stan Van Gundy was worried about was whether Sam Mitchell thought of anything that could crack his way of playing during the half-time break. After all, such a tactic
It's still a bit risky. The reduction of interior defense ability is exchanged for a sharp three-point offense. If the Raptors concentrate on attacking the Magic's interior, it is still very likely to cause trouble for the Magic.
Another weakness is Adrian, although Adrian is the strongest point and the most critical point in this tactic. On the contrary, as long as Adrian is allowed to play his role and power, then this tactic will
It's over. Just like the Bulls' triangle offense, without Jordan's terrifying offensive power as an arrow charge, the effectiveness of the entire tactic would be greatly reduced.
But after thinking about it carefully, Stan Van Gundy relaxed again.
The Raptors can indeed concentrate on attacking the inside, but the Raptors are not strong enough to attack the inside. Although Chris Bosh is an All-Star power forward, in terms of style of play, his offensive methods tend to be shooting.
He "shoots" instead of scoring at the basket with a higher hit rate. In short, his style of play is a bit soft. What's more important is that the Raptors do not have the kind of powerful breakthrough player who can constantly hit the penalty area.
On the other hand, it is not that easy to strangle Adrian. When Stan Van Gundy formulated this set of tactics against the Raptors, he drew heavily on the triangle offensive tactics used by the Bulls at the time. Although there was no
It was copied, but some of the principles were applied by Stan Van Gundy.
The Raptors wanted to strangle Adrian. Just like every team in the league wanted to strangle Jordan's offense at that time, although they wanted to, they couldn't.
All this is due to the Raptors' lack of strength and lineup flaws. Sam Mitchell is a head coach above the level, but even if he is a championship coach, Larry Brown, and Phil Jackson are as experienced as
I'm afraid the old coach won't be able to make any good response with the Raptors' current lineup.
With the current Sixers, in Phil Jackson's first season back with the Lakers, couldn't he just look at the team's lineup and sigh, saying, "What can I do about it!"?
Sure enough, in the second half, the Raptors' offense was obviously more focused on the inside. Chris Bosh either faced the basket or with his back to the basket, attacking the inside again and again. Marcin Gortat's defense was already considered
Quite good, at least compared to his annual salary of more than 700,000, it is really a day and a day, but after all, he is not Dwight Howard. His slow pace makes him quite powerful in frontal defense, but when attacking
He started to lean more to the side, his pace was slow, and his shortcomings of poor defense were exposed.
Stan Van Gundy didn't care too much and just replaced Marcin Gortat with Kwame Brown.
On the one hand, it's because Marcin Gortat played too long in the first half today, and his pace has become slower and slower. If he is replaced, he can take a good rest and continue to exert his power in the fourth quarter. On the other hand,
On the one hand, although in frontal defense, Kwame Brown is not as good as Gortat due to technical shortcomings, but with his physical advantage, his defense is faster and quicker than Gortat, which can make up for it.
The Raptors are currently targeting the Magic's defensive deficiencies. He had already considered the problems he might face in the second half during halftime, so when such problems did arise, he made substitutions with ease.
As for the offense, Stan Van Gundy doesn't need to adjust anything. Obviously, the Raptors have not found a way to defend the Magic's offense.
Adrian is still at a disadvantage in the low post.
In fact, Adrian noticed that he was now more relaxed in the low post than in the first half. He clearly felt that Moon's strength when supporting him was not as strong as in the first half. When Adrian began to turn around,
He felt that it became easier to knock Moon away.
"Have you run out of strength?" After receiving the pass again in a very familiar position, Adrian stuck his position and smiled at Moon behind him. From the corner of his eye, he could see Kapono running fast.
The double-team came over. However, he was not ready to pass the ball at this time. The double-team of Kapono and Moon could no longer threaten him.
Moon didn't say anything, just stared at Adrian with wide eyes. Hearing Adrian's teasing, he pushed forward again unconvinced, but the sweat on his face like a stream and the heavy breathing all showed that at this moment
How severely exhausted his physical strength is.[
Every time he defends, he has to withstand Adrian with all his strength. Even if Adrian is not preparing to hit the basket, he cannot relax at all. If he relaxes at all, Adrian, who is preparing to pass the ball, will immediately
Switching to attack mode and then scoring from his own head is something that has been verified several times in the first half.
But this kind of all-out confrontation is undoubtedly extremely exhausting.
In terms of physical strength, the defensive side is at a disadvantage. In addition, Moon must try his best every time he defends, which makes his physical exertion even greater. Unfortunately, the Raptors do not have a suitable defensive substitute.
Let's take turns defending Adrian with him. If Kapono is used to defend, I'm afraid he won't be able to double-team Kapono. There is a high chance that Kapono will be broken through the moment Adrian catches the ball.
Since then, Moon's physical exertion has become even greater.
At the moment when Moon exerted his force, Adrian suddenly used this force to move a step toward the outside, and had already completed his turn during the movement.
"Oh no, it's a fadeaway jumper." Moon's heart suddenly suddenly jumped up. He had to take off before Adrian jumped up. Although there was a risk of being deceived by Adrian with a fake move, but...
If he didn't take off early, there would be no way he could stop Adrian's shot.
This is also a fact that has been verified in the first half.
Fortunately, he was not deceived this time. Adrian did take off, but... after a lot of physical exertion in the first half, Moon's take-off height had been reduced a lot. When he jumped with all his strength, he reached the high point and began to fall.
, but was surprised to see Adrian high up, having just reached the commanding heights.
In desperation, Moon chose to foul. Even if he was allowed to go to the free throw line, he could not continue to hit shots on his head!
The right hand he waved hit Adrian hard on the arm.
"Shua..."
"Shua..."
There were two clear sounds of net wiping in succession, and Adrian made two free throws.
Once again, he received a pass at the ribs of the free throw line. This time, Adrian no longer made any fake moves. He took a big step, turned around and rushed towards the inside. Jamario Moon barely staggered.
Following Adrian's footsteps, he turned around in two steps and approached the basket. Adrian jumped high.
Jamario Moon also took off with all his strength, trying hard to cover the basketball in Adrian's hand with both hands.
"Bang!"
The strong bodies collided violently in the air, and Moon groaned and began to fall. Although Adrian did not fall, his forward momentum was blocked by Moon. His body involuntarily began to lean back a little, and he glanced at the basket.
, Adrian stretched out his arm and swung the basketball toward the basket.
Bang...bang...bang...shua...!
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
Jamario Moon defensive foul, the goal will be counted, and one free throw will be added. (To be continued. If you like this work, () vote, monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to
