Almighty Athlete Chapter 400: Pick and roll


  Nakba wanted to stand up and take on the important task of scoring the team, but Zhang Guan stepped forward earlier, a fast break layup after a steal, first to grab people.

   Dragic shook his head in frustration. This ball was entirely his responsibility. If it was not for his passing error to be stolen by Zhang Guan, it would not cause a fast break for Zhang Guan.

   "It's okay, don't care, the speed of Zhang Guan is really fast, and it will be stolen for other people." Nakba stepped forward to comfort, he hoped to make Dragic easier.

   But Dragy Sage can feel that Zhang Guan's steal is not as simple as it seems.

   In the Phoenix Suns, Dragic as a backup guard is not the core of the tactics, and the team rarely arranges for him the pick-and-roll tactics he is good at, so Dragic is more in the bench lineup The firepower is added, not a passer. But this does not mean that Dragic's passing level is poor. In fact, as a European defender, it is impossible to pass the pass.

   Dragic is still very confident in his passing level, and the interception just made by Zhang Guan was done from the front. This is not just a fast speed. It also requires accurate judgment.

   "Zhang Guan judged my pass in advance, so I could complete this steal." Dragic took a deep breath, and he suddenly felt that Zhang Guan might be more difficult than the rumor.

  ......

   The game continued, and the smart Dragic felt the pressure brought by Zhang Guan in his first attack, and his play style became conservative. In many cases, he even chose to pass the halftime. The ball was passed to Nakba, who then completed the attack.

  Nakba can only be regarded as a qualified substitute in nba, especially his excellent performance in shooting, making him a good shooter, the team also needs him outside the three-point line make a contribution. But in the Slovenian team, as the core of tactics, Naqba has to shoulder the important task of organizing offensive, and Slovenia's tactical system can also activate the assisting ability of Naqba. So Nakba resolutely took over the responsibility of Dragic's point guard and began to command the team's offensive.

  Brezek and Dayao were locked by each other. Facing Dayao, who was taller, it was obviously impossible for Brezek to take the offense. And Dragic is completely disadvantaged in the face of Zhang Guan, so in addition to himself, Naqba can only rely on the two teammates Zupan and Rakovic.

  Zupan is obviously the best choice to end the offense. Although the deaf player is in the position of small forward, he is tall and heavy enough to play power forward, and he has an advantage in counterpoint. At the same time, Zupan's technology is good, the player is very high, the key is to focus on playing, this kind of player as a terminator of offense, the scoring success rate is relatively high.

  As the attacker, Naqba chose Zupan as his main vitality output point without hesitation. Zupan also lived up to expectations, and even with a sudden shot, he scored eight points in a blink of an eye.

  In terms of the Chinese team, it is not Zhang Guan, but the Arab League.

   After the first goal, the next four offenses were completed by the United Arab Emirates. Although only four points were scored on two of four shots, there were two fouls committed by the Slovenian defensive player and they were obtained by free throws. Two points make the United League temporarily the highest scoring person in the Chinese team.

   and the U.S. player against Rakovic is the main reason for the outbreak of the U.A. League.

  Although Rakovic did not play NBA, he was selected by the NBA in 2007 like the United League. The United League is the No. 6 rookie and belongs to the more advanced position in the lotto area. Vicki is the No. 60 rookie, the last of all rookies.

   Since the United League entered the NBA, it has been questioned. Many American media or basketball commentators think that his performance is not suitable for the No. 6 rookie position, so on the 60th of the same period today. As a rookie, the United League is very eager to play a dominant performance. He wants to prove that he is definitely worthy of the No. 6 rookie position.

   No. 6 rookie can't beat No. 60 rookie of the same period, even if it is a half a catty, it will surely be regarded as a "parallel import". Of course, the United Arab Emirates does not want to bring the name "parallel import", so he is The attack seemed extremely positive and determined. The United League, whose height and technique are more dominant, let Rakovic get two fouls in the middle of the first quarter.

In the nba game, players who lead two fouls in the first quarter of the game will be replaced by the coach. Even in the second quarter, they will be more cautious. NBA's rule is that only six fouls are sent off, while the international basketball rule is that five fouls are sent off. This is a difference, but the chance of fouling becomes more precious. So getting two fouls in the first quarter is even more deadly.

  After receiving the second foul, Rakovich was replaced by the Slovenian coach for the first time. The Slovenian team is not lacking in the fourth position. In addition to the bench, Zupan and Nakba in the starting lineup can also play the fourth position, so Lakovich may not be played in the second quarter. Opportunity.

   Both sides tied 10-10 in the middle of the first quarter. They looked evenly matched, but in fact it was obvious that Slovenia suffered a loss because they had a main player who could only temporarily sit on the bench because of two fouls. on.

  ......

  Dowovic’s coach was very dissatisfied with the team’s performance. He called for a timeout, but did not arrange the next tactics. Instead, he instilled the soul chicken soup for his disciples.

   "Don't you forget, how did we lose to the Chinese team at the World Championships four years ago? We suffered a lore in the last second, we worked hard for a whole game and we were about to win At that time, I lost the game at the last moment!" Coach Ridovic growled loudly: "You must remember that we are the Avengers, the Avengers should be full of anger, and go forward, not fear the tail like a soft egg. !"

  Zidovich obviously hopes that players can play more aggressively, which is also in disguise to express his dissatisfaction to Dragic, in the opinion of coach Zidovich, Dragic faces Zhang Guan, playing too conservatively.

   Dragic felt that the coach’s eyes were fixed on himself, he could hear the extra meaning in coach Zidovic’s words, he knew that if he did not perform better, he might lose the coach to himself Trust.

   The game started again, Dragic really performed more courageously, facing the defense of Zhang Guan, his offense was more decisive, with breakthroughs and shots, but unfortunately, the goal was not scored.

   Facing the defense of Zhang Guan, even Kobe did not choose to break through, but chose an emergency stop jumper, so Dragic is even more unlikely to break through the defense line of Zhang Guan. On the body, Dragic is far inferior to Zhang Guan, he can't force a breakthrough like a tank; on speed, Dragic is also far inferior to Zhang Guan, and he can't use speed to get rid of Zhang Guan.

  Unsuccessful breakthrough, Dragic can only force shots, which is also a kind of attack style that Dragic is very good at. Dragic last season shot up to 45% and made three-pointers The rate has reached 39%. Both of these data are among the best in the NBA guards. He also relied on this weapon to firmly position the Suns as a backup guard.

  The international basketball's three-point line is closer, so the shot should be easier to shoot, but not only is Zhang Guan exerting too much pressure on Dragic, or Dragic's own feel is too bad, continuous Several shots deviated from the basket, and even one was blocked by Zhang Guan.

   Dragic is not the kind of player who is good at emergency stop jumpers. He is good at shooting. One is to prepare a jumper after receiving the ball, and the other is a mid-range back-stepping jumper, but the former requires the cooperation of teammates For example, the open space after the pick and roll, but the latter's action frequency is slow, which is also a flaw in Dragic's CIC technology.

   Last season, Dragic also often used backstepping jumpers, but since then everyone is familiar with his technical characteristics. Knowing that his backstepping jumpers are slow, he has a more targeted response. In today's game, Dragic's opponent is Zhang Guan, a fast-jumping player who runs slowly, and his slow movement has become a fatal injury to Dragic's shot.

  Because Dragic failed to attack several times in a row, the Chinese team also took this opportunity to open the score and gained a 5-point lead.

  At this time, Dayao's playing time was up, he was replaced, and he was roughly replaced in the center position.

   is roughly two centimeters shorter than Brezek, and he can't put pressure on Brezek in physical confrontation. This allows Brezek to finally play. In just three rounds, Brezek has There are four quarters. But roughly in the fourth round, the color, a long three-pointer hit, making Brezek's face difficult to look.

   roughly three-pointers opened, which means that Brezek's defense must go beyond the three-point line. When facing Da Yao before, Brezek only had to stay in the basket to defend. After all, the international basketball rule did not defend for three seconds, and this is where the power center is strong under the international basketball rule. And now Brezek, a 216-centimeter center, is forced to appear on the three-point line to defend, undoubtedly weakening the center's advantage.

  Brezek ran to the three-point line and also gave Zhang Guan a chance to break through.

   Prior to this, Dayao and Brezek stayed inside and already occupied a lot of space. If two power forwards are added, the basket is very crowded, which is not conducive to the back Field player breakthrough. But now two power centers are missing, and Zhang Guan has a huge breakthrough space in an instant.

  Zhang Guan did not miss this opportunity. Once Brezek was roughly pulled out, he immediately chose to break through, and it was still that kind of fancy breakthrough, relying solely on body and speed.

   Dragic once again became a victim. He clearly knew that Zhang Guan was going to break through, but he could not prevent Zhang Guan. However, he wanted to prevent Zhang Guan. So when the speed and body were inferior, he could only Choose an eye-catching defensive method and use a larger movement to stop Zhang Guan.

   The whistle sounded. Dragic, because of his lack of calm, also received two fouls at the end of the first quarter. There is no doubt that he is unlikely to appear again in the first half of the game. .

   Both starters received two fouls, and Slovenia’s road of revenge seemed extremely rugged and difficult. Even though the Slovenian team has a deep basketball heritage, the strength of the bench is still not as good as the starting player. At the end of the game, China maintained a 7-point lead with 42 to 35.

  ......

In the locker room, Slovenian players bowed their heads in a frustrated manner, and in front of them, coach Zidovic was somber, as if he had just returned from hell.

   "Look what you look like? Just 7 points behind, and there is still a full half time, we only need three or four goals to overtake the score! What are you so frustrated?" Coach Zidovich He said, pushed the tactical board away, and then said: "In the second half of the game, we have to change, we have to play our own style, I need you to move and cooperate with each other! Especially you, Golan."

  Zidovich looked at Dragic, and then said: "I need a commander, not a person who only runs around and throws blindly. As a point guard, you must calm down. , Command this battle, so you can’t stay the same. Since you can’t vote, don’t waste your chances. You can try other methods, such as playing a pick-and-roll with your teammates, that’s your best method, that’s it. Your sharpest weapon~IndoMTL.com~ Remember, there is a smart player who must know how to hide his weaknesses and put his strongest weapon at the front!"

  ......

   In the second half of the game, the two sides replaced the starting lineup again.

  The Slovenian team changed its tactics. Dragic made a pick-and-roll cooperation with the commander Rakovic in the first attack.

  Lakovic was the most depressed player in the first half. He only played five minutes and was forced to go to rest because of two fouls. He was suffocated. In the second half of the game, he seized the opportunity of this first attack, using the open space after the pick-and-roll change, he successfully scored a three-pointer.

  As a Slovenian inside player, although it looks like that kind of power inside, Lakovich still has the ability to make three-pointers. Among the European insiders, all of them can shoot three-pointers. Lakovich is no exception.

  Under Dragic’s command, Nakba and Brezek also successively passed the pick-and-roll defense and scored two points each. However, China's only scored goals in these three attacks, and the difference between the two sides was reduced to within two points.

   Dayao's footsteps are still a bit unable to keep up with the frequency of pick-and-roll protection. Especially after Brezek also joined the pick-and-roll, Dayo faced the defense after the pick-and-roll and was unable to handle it. Deng Huad hesitated and decided to replace Dayao first. At this time, how to deal with Slovenia's pick-and-roll tactics has become a problem before Deng Huade. (To be continued.)
