Chapter 888 From defensive loopholes to defensive elites
Judging from Iverson's offensive, his injuries should be almost healed.
If this is true, then the 76ers are indeed difficult to deal with unless Iverson and Duncan are not in a relationship. But the conflict between these two is not as sharp as ok, and it can be said that they have no conflict at all.
Duncan is an outsider and has no foundation in Philadelphia. From a personality perspective, he will not compete with Iverson. Iverson himself is not a difficult teammate, and they now have a common enemy.
Momonchen gently slapped the ball, and the 76ers sent him not Iverson or Snow, but their highest player on the periphery - Matt Harplin.
Haplin was a biathlon in basketball and rugby at university. He had a strong body and was active and brave on the defensive end. Although he had never received any personal honors about defense, he was a tough outsider who had been hiding through the 1990s.
With his physical condition at No. 2, he was at No. 3 in the 76ers, and he could see what his style was like without much loss.
Hapurin is not as expected of the Pistons. Although Hill is also a superstar, every team will let the best outside defenders face Momonchen.
Mo Mengchen was not in a hurry to fight with Haplin. He passed the ball to the free throw line and Curry shot in front of Duncan.
The feel does not support him in such an attack.
The ball bounced out of the basket, Rashid took the rebound into his hand through a rush, shouted loudly, wanting to be strong, but he heard Ginobili's cry behind him.
Roaring with the ball, the Argentine Demon Sword's pitching fake move brought Snow, who was defending Hill, to his back, and finally passed the ball to Devil Mountain, which was in an absolute open position.
3 to 2
The Pistons retaliated against the Sixers by rushing offensive rebounds and reasonably transferring the ball.
Mo Mengchen pressed Iverson in the frontcourt, and the latter was not afraid. He controlled the ball while observing the situation in the frontcourt and then led the ball through the half.
Duncan stood at a low post on the left, and Iverson could pass the ball at any time.
Seeing that Shifo had this opportunity, Iverson naturally would not take the ball in his hand. The moment Duncan took the ball, the Pistons' defense began to shrink.
At the beginning of this season, the league allowed joint defense. The Pistons not only changed to Princeton on the offensive end, but also became a team mainly focused on joint defense on the defensive end.
The research on defense by NBA teams is limited to regional double-teaming, communication teams and targeted coercion for opponents' shooting hot zones, while the Pistons have completed the system of working together with the whole team.
They especially like to target the opponent's shooting points when playing joint defense.
Generally, players who are not good at shooting will become the targets they let go.
If the opponent is 76ers, they are really embarrassed - it's not because they are too accurate, but because they are too inaccurate, which one is better to let go?
Iverson averaged 4.5 three-pointers per game, hitting 1.3 goals, and rounded, his shooting percentage barely reached 30%; Hapurin's three-point shooting percentage was 30.3%, which looked better than Iverson, but he averaged only 0.9 goals per game. As we all know, the more shots, the lower the efficiency, even sharp shots like dor.mo are no exception. Therefore, Hapurin's shooting level under high-intensity defense may only be worse than those shown in the data; as for Snow, let's ignore it.
The irony is that the 76ers start five, and the most accurate three-point shooting percentage from the outside is Derek Coleman, who has a 35% three-point shooting percentage.
Popovich once claimed in his small ball era that he had hated three-pointers for more than 20 years. As his mentor, Larry Brown could point at his nose and say, "I hated it before you hate three-pointers." Otherwise, could the Sixers concentrate so many unreliable shooters?
Only he knew how bitter Duncan was in his heart. When he was about to attack and defend Hapurin Hill, Ginobili, who was facing Snow, came like an assassin, he looked at Snow and Hapurin at one glance, who would be better?
The hesitation lasted for a moment. Compared to Snow, who did not shoot three-pointers at all, Haplin was of course the best choice. His ball was passed, and then everyone in the game watched Haplin take a three-pointer.
Under heavy pressure, you will definitely make a blacksmith.
The rebound flew out, Curry got stuck in the position, Hill easily took off the defensive rebound, and the whirlwind of counterattack had already blown. Devil Mountain saw the dor.mo running to the top of the frontcourt arc and outside the three-point line.
This guy's speed is born with the material for fast attack.
Hill's long pass is as accurate as the NCAA semi-finals in the past.
Mo Mengchen caught the pass, saw the right position, took action outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and hit again.
6 to 2
"It's amazing. I feel as comfortable as watching Dor.mo shoot three-pointers like Matt Haplin shoot three-pointers." Ranbill is becoming more and more adaptable to the commentator position, and this guy is not afraid of being reported at all. He dares to say anything. He repeatedly gives away a painful final blow to his opponent who plays away during the game, and is affectionately called "the seventh man on the field" by the Pistons.
The Sixers' offense mainly relies on Iverson and Duncan, who averaged 53 points per game during the regular season, more than half of the team.
At this moment, Duncan pulled away and picked and rolled Iverson.
Curry assisted in defense of Iverson, and Shifo followed behind. Iverson rushed to the basket and attracted the Pistons' double-team. He boldly provoked the Pistons' generals, and then returned the ball to Duncan's hands.
Duncan caught the ball, shot from the paint area in front, and hit the basket.
4 to 6
Mo Mengchen quickly picked up the ball on the ground - none of the 76ers' players had retreated backcourt - he picked up the ball and threw it forward hard.
"Beware of their fast attack!"
The counterattack speed was terrible. The ball flew over the half and passed it to Ginobili.
Snow quickly followed, but the Argentinian had a position advantage. He used a snake-shaped step in the frontcourt and made strong efforts. His physical fitness crushed Snow, just like a combination of dry firewood and fire. At one point, the ball buzzed in the 76ers' basket.
"You damn..." Iverson didn't expect them to fight so quickly.
"You are the one who deserves to die." Mo Mengchen suppressed people with his body, "I will make you very sad next, be mentally prepared."
Very sad? Iverson was about to use a sneer to show how disdain he was about it, and then Mo Mengchen used a real confrontation to make him unable to say a word.
For a full 24 seconds, let alone the ball, Iverson couldn't even see Snow's position clearly.
Mo Mengchen stood in front of him and confronted him at all times. No matter how he got rid of it, he couldn't run out of the receiving space. The terrifying pressure of no ball caused a storm to stir up in Iverson's heart.
When did the dor.mo's defense become so good?
Even Mo Mengchen's teammates were surprised. This scene was surreal to anyone who watched Mo Mengchen grow up.
Momonchen in 1995 was a defensive loophole for the Pistons, and Thorpe, Mills and others needed to make up for his shortcomings. Now, he can defend Iverson so embarrassed by his own strength alone. His defense can not only be reflected in the data, but the official also used the selection of the second defense of the year to confirm his performance.
On Snow's side, although he was originally the No. 1 position, if it weren't for Mo Mengchen's existence, Iverson should have played No. 2 position, and then he played No. 1 position as the field control player. Now Iverson is not able to catch the ball by the defense, Ginobili and Rashid take inhumane double-teams against him.
Snow was about to make a mistake, and before the ball was taken off, he risked to pass it out.
As a result, I was still stolen.
"Even Derek dares to let go of these people?" Larry Brown had never seen such a defense. In order to put pressure on the ball holder, the person with the most accurate three-pointer was released, even if he was an inside player.
Double-teaming, unless they are stars, the head coaches of each team will not use it easily, because double-teaming means giving the opponent a large open space. Most of the coaches today have been getting involved in the 1980s and have seen Big Bird and Magicians. If these two players dare to give them an open space, they can pass the ball in a blink of an eye.
If it weren't for being helpless against you, who would have drawn extra strength to deal with you?
The Pistons demonstrated a tactical concept that was ahead of the times. Snow's pass was cut off and Ginobili led a counterattack. He had just made a move, and the devil who was good at fast attack had already reached the position.
Ginobili simply stopped and smashed the ball into the frontcourt with one hand. The ball hit the floor like a shell, and flew into Hill's arms with a huge rebound force.
“This pass is as beautiful as poetry!”
Hill took the ball and started, almost flattening the jump height of the basket, and smashed it hard.
The audience at the Imperial Axis Arena stood up and cheered, and Larry Brown called a pause with a gloomy face.
8 to 4
Although it was only 4 points away, the 76ers were heavily targeted on the court. Mo Mengchen's restrictive effect on Iverson without the ball was something Brown did not expect.
After Mo Mengchen possessed top speed, strength, physical fitness and defensive skills, the impact on Iverson exceeded Brown's imagination.
If this continues, it will become more and more difficult for him to fight.
Thinking of this, Brown looked at a defender who was bigger than Snow and Iverson at the end of the bench and said, "Wandig, you replace Eric."
The game only took three minutes to start, and the Pistons were very effective in all aspects, and Westfal did not make any changes.
"Mo, if Ai doesn't personally drive the ball through the half, you'll be so guarded against him." Westfal said, "If you're tired, tell me."
The former defensive loophole has become a vanguard who can stand alone in the opponent's core outside line.
Mo Mengchen nodded, because the system gave him the best speed, strength and physical fitness, coupled with the experience accumulated over the years of on-the-spot games, he has indeed become an excellent defender.
After the timeout, he returned to the court, but unexpectedly, the 76ers changed to a face-to-face anonymous.
Who is this? Dor.mo has no impression of the person coming.
This is the thing. Since the 50,000 reward of "lenx", starting today, I will add one chapter a day to try to add the updates before the festival... Finally, I would like to thank lenx for the 50,000 reward. Finally, I hope everyone can spend rationally and not give rewards, so that I can have a good New Year. Thank you, kowtow, and love you babies.
