Chapter 660 Beginning to Change, Beast Center
The second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs between the Nets and the Cavaliers will continue on May 2 at the Barclays Center, home of the Nets.
On May 5, Atkinson proposed to Howard to let him play as a substitute in the next game, because the opponent will most likely continue to play a small lineup.
Howard complained about this, and he felt that there was a problem with the team's thinking.The opponent plays a small lineup and lets a white man like Kevin Love play the center at the 4th position. What the team should do is to allow him, a big center, to get more offensive opportunities, sanction the opponent, and force the opponent to make a choice. It is not to follow the opponent's footsteps to reduce the lineup.
Seeing Howard's convincing look, Atkinson didn't know what to say about him.Are you so frightened that you can't defend yourself and don't have a clue?
The team's biggest problem is defense, not offense. You don't have a clue?Being named like that, and shamelessly thinking that you should increase the possession of the ball, do you regard yourself as the peak O'Neal?
In today's league, if the big man's movement is too slow, it is really too easy to be targeted when facing the opponent's extreme lineup of 5-out.
The trend of the league has higher requirements for big men. They not only need to have shooting ability, but also need to have good movement speed to complete defense expansion and defense, and attack on the line.But also need to protect the frame and low top anti card position.
On the contrary, the traditional post-up offensive technique of big men before is not considered so necessary in today's league. Because of efficiency and space issues, many teams are more inclined to choose pick-and-rolls to attack the basket or cut outside. Shoot 3 points.
The entire league is playing more efficiently, and Mogou's "magic ball theory" is the most accurate theory that reflects this change in the league.
Howard's dissatisfaction made Atkinson angry. He is not Tyronn Lue. He lacks routines and methods for this so-called star who is no longer worthy of the name. He can't suppress it with prestige, so he can only return this hot potato to the beast.
Beast is also speechless, you Atkinson is really useless, and you can't do this well. Letting you be the head coach really forces me to take over and become a "shou coach".
For the sake of the team, Beast asked Howard for dinner on the evening of the 3rd, and told him about it again.
In front of the beast, Howard was not as arrogant as he was with Atkinson. Obviously, in the face of absolute strength and power, any so-called "glory of the past" became much dimmer.
But Howard still has to stick to his own opinion. He insists that the most correct way to deal with the Cavaliers is to play the twin towers to attack the opponent's inside line, and then protect the basket and prevent the opponent from scoring easily under the basket.
The beast is also drunk, this Howard is really strong enough, Carrefour has been outside the 3-point line, do you have a dick at the basket?You let people shoot open 3 points, and they are stupid to fight with you at the basket.
It can only be said that Tyronn Lue is really good. When the Nets have insiders like Beast and Howard, he does not play TT and let Love play center, which is simply the extreme of Tian Ji's horse racing.
Tyronn Lue is not only a genius coach, but also a gambler. He actually shorted Carol and Jeremy Lin, betting that they would not make a shot, which is simply too awesome!
Howard's head ironed, and the Beast certainly wouldn't change its mind.Facing the Cavaliers, although playing young may not be able to prevent them, because in theory James' "one star and four shots" cannot be defended.
But if you can't defend yourself, they won't even give you the chance to bet on two bottles of poison, and you will just shoot 3 points in the open position, and the tactics can be simplified to the extreme.
In the last game, the Nets were shot to death like this.You have a head, then you can test the open space of others for 3 points...
"Dwight, the opponent has five players who can shoot 5-pointers. If we don't play small, we will only let them shoot open 3-pointers. The biggest problem at the moment is that we can't prevent their 3-pointers. We just hit first. Small, when they switch to TT, you immediately go up to dominate their basket. It’s not about making you a substitute, but making temporary adjustments to the opponent’s freak lineup.” Beast explained.
The beast has said so, what else can Howard do.After all, this is a team of beasts. He is just a passenger, not a bus driver, even though he thinks he is still the top center in the league.
Of course, Howard finally compromised, but he didn't take what the beast said in his heart.He decided that if he played, he would still play what he thought was right basketball.
On May 5, the Nets VS Cavaliers series G4 officially started.
In this game, the Nets have changed!
They removed Howard from the starting lineup and Russell started!
The Cavaliers are still the starting lineup of the last game, and Love continues to play the starting center!
The game was broadcast live on Tencent, and the host Wang Zixing and guest Su Qun were responsible for the commentary.
Wang Zixing asked with some concern: "Mr. Su, the Nets have already lost the first game. Do you think they still have hope?"
Su Qun seemed much calmer: "It's not hopeless to lose the first game. I think this game is worth referring to. If there is still no effect after changing the lineup, then the Nets will be really difficult."
Wang Zixing seemed to be cheering himself up: "I still believe that Beast can win this round of the series!"
Before the game, Beast gathered the starters together and formed a circle!
Beast said loudly: "When you have a chance, everyone will make a decisive move. Don't hesitate. Don't be afraid if you lose. The responsibility is mine! We won't lose, and the Nets will win!"
"The Nets will win!" The other four said in unison.
Beast and Love prepare the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
The two were teammates during the Timberwolves period, and Love was once the boss of the beast.It's just that time has passed, the Beast has grown into the league MVP, and Love still can't get rid of the nickname "Brush".
At the start of the jump ball, Love barely jumped, didn't even try hard, and directly gave up fighting for the ball with the beast, allowing the Nets to get the first wave of offensive ball.
Jeremy Lin dribbles over and faces George Hill.
The Beast comes out for a pick-and-roll, Jeremy Lin picks and rolls against Love, speeds up and passes the opponent directly, faces James, who is helping to defend at the basket, and directly distributes the ball to Carroll in the corner!
Carroll hits a 3-point shot -- or nothing!
Since the last game, Carroll's 3-point skill package seems to have been lost, as if possessed by an evil spirit. The opponent kept letting him go, and he couldn't even hit the shots!
But in the eyes of the beast, if the opponent lets you go, you have to cast until you hit a hit.Otherwise, if you dare not vote, the other party will really let you go completely.So what is the point of your presence?
