Misplacement during offense has always been the most problematic problem for defenders. Since the attackers take the initiative, once the misalignment is caused, the defenders are troublesome to cope with whether they are small or large. The pick-and-roll tactic is obviously the tactic most likely to cause a misplaced attack. Once a misalignment is formed, such as a tall center facing a short point guard, the advantage of height and weight can be completely crushed on the offensive end; and for example, a short guard against a tall center, you can use flexible steps to scrub the opponent.
For the defensive side, if a player can adapt to multiple positions, it is obviously better. The traditional center in the NBA is gradually declining, and the all-around forward players are beginning to rise. A large part of the reason is that they are more flexible in defense.
The average swingman can defend from position 1 to position 3, which is better. For example, Pierce has no problem from position 1 to position 4. James can defend from position 1 to 5. Durant can also do this, this type of player can ignore the misplaced defense, the opposite is the point guard, they can defend, the opposite is the center, they can also defend, so almost no one will criticize their defense . Even a basketball expert once thought that James represents a trend of basketball development. The positioning of future players will become more and more blurred, and at the same time it will become more and more versatile. Some experts even predict that the current position of basketball players will gradually After disappearing, there will be no center guards in the future, but five "James" will appear on the court at the same time.
Some of the big guys can also defend the defenders by misplacement. The defense of Duncan, Nowitzki and Garnett is enough to prevent many defenders from attacking. It's a lot harder for a small man to defend a big man out of position. After all, basketball is a sport that relies more on height. Although taller does not mean that basketball will play better, height is undeniably an advantage.
Short guards defending tall centers are nothing more than two methods, one is to prevent them from catching the ball around, and the other is to disrupt the opponent's dribble rhythm. But in the case of one-on-one, the defender defending the center from the front is basically doing useless work, because there is no way to prevent it, and the gap in height is an insurmountable gap.
However, in today's game, Zhang Guan did not use tactics such as forward or interference. He let Brezek catch the ball, then defended from the front, and simply blocked. The height difference of more than 20 cm. The crown was completely ignored.
Having encountered a block in a row, Brezek also realized that this was the trap set by Zhang Guan for himself, and he also saw Zhang Guan’s extraordinary bounce and speed. When Dragic passed it to him again, Brezek appeared Frightened, he was totally afraid to shoot rashly.
"Although the ball is empty, but he dare not shoot at all, this situation is really bad!" Brezerin hesitantly looked at the basket in front, he really wanted to shoot, but he knew that Zhang Guan was beside Looking around, once he really shoots, Zhang Guan will step forward and give him a cover.
Brezek took a deep breath, and at the next moment, he chose to dribble towards the basket.
"I'm a center, not a shooter. Although I can shoot, it doesn't mean that I can only shoot. I have more offensive means!" Brezek thought to himself.
Under normal circumstances, there is a vacancy, and shooting is definitely the first choice. The closer to the rim, the easier it is for defenders to appear. However, due to Zhang Guan’s super-bounce, Brezek gave up the opportunity to open a shot and chose Attack inside.
After the pick-and-roll, big men's attacking the inside is also a very common tactic. Stoudemire is very good at this tactic, especially in cooperation with Nash, completely raging the NBA's inside. Although Brezek does not have the amazing attack power of Stoudemire, he is also a top inside player in the international arena.
While Brezek was somewhat complacent, Zhang Guan also moved, and he appeared on the road of Brezek.
"Zhang Guan? The tribute arm is in the car!" Brezek sneered. He felt that Zhang Guan would be hit by himself at the next moment, and the referee would blow him a blocking foul.
After all, there is a height difference of more than 20 centimeters and a weight difference of forty pounds. When Brezek has already started, even if Zhang Guan fouls, he may not be able to stop Brezek from moving forward.
Brezek came to Zhang Guan's front, the two people's bodies touched together, but Brezek felt that he seemed to have hit a wall and he had to stop.
The referee on the side bulged his cheeks. He hesitated but didn’t blow the whistle. This ball can be used to punish Zhang Guan’s blocking foul or not to be fouled. It can be explained regardless of whether or not it is blown, but the referee In the end, he chose not to whistle because he saw Brezek stopped.
If Zhang Guan is knocked down by Brezek, the referee will not hesitate to blow a Zhang Guan block, but Brezek has stopped, which instead gives the referee a reason not to blow the foul.
"When I am an idiot? A center breaks towards the basket but is blocked by a point guard. How is this possible? Brezek can't even hold a guard! This must be Brezek's wish Cheating on a whistle, but I am the referee, how could the player take the nose and I won't be fooled!" The referee thought of this, the bulging cheeks had collapsed again.
...
"What's the matter, it was blocked by Zhang Guan!" Brezek lowered his head in surprise, looked at Zhang Guan, whose height was only to his chin, and he was puzzled.
At this time, even if there was no more puzzlement in his heart, Brezek couldn't stop to think. He quickly turned sideways, preparing to use the back technique.
European inside, the back skills are not bad, not to mention that for traditional centers, back singles can be said to be a housekeeping skill, Brezek's back singles technology is not bad, although in the NBA, Brezer Ke is not the core of tactics. When facing a group of muscle sticks, his back singles can't play any power, but in the face of a defender, Brezek is still confident that he can beat the other side.
Defensive back singles either have a height advantage or a strength advantage. They are shorter than others and their strength is at a disadvantage. They are definitely unable to prevent back singles. It's like defending O'Neal or defending Dayao's back singles. In addition to praying, the opponent feels bad, and there seems to be no particularly useful way. Compared with Zhang Guan and Brezek, they are shorter and lighter, so Brezek thinks he has decided to eat Zhang Guan.
Brezek began to dribble, once, twice, three times, four times... After the basketball and the ground contacted again and again, it bounced again and again, making a rhythmic sound, but Brezek's body remained In place, there was no movement. To be precise, Zhang Guan withstood him and made him unable to move forward half a step.
"What's going on? I can't touch him, I can't touch him at all! I can't touch a guard!" Brezek was a little hard to believe what was happening in front of him, he thought he would crush the crown, But now it is completely stagnant.
"What is Brezek doing? Why didn't he rush to the basket?"
"Is he practicing dribbling? There is only one crown behind him, rush in and score!"
Seeing this scene, other Slovenian players began to get anxious. They did not know that Brezek had worked hard, but they still could not hold the crown, so they did not understand Brezek's continuous dribbling, but he was unable to. Act half a step forward.
It was completely impossible to move half a point, which made Brezek a little anxious. He exerted even more force, and Zhang Guan also saw this. He took advantage of Brezek's inattention and slammed the ball away.
"Fast attack!" Zhang Guan shouted loudly, the other members of the Chinese team all moved, and the Slovenian players also began to return to defense.
Brezek is obviously impossible to catch up with the speed of Zhang Guan, so when Zhang Guan held the ball to the frontcourt, China formed a good chance of three-two in the frontcourt.
Naqba returned to defense very quickly, he quickly returned to his own half, and at the same time hindered Zhang Guan's progress, but Zhang Guan noticed that Sun Yue, who was completely unmarked, was heading towards the basket. Running down, at the same time raised his hand high and began to ask for the ball.
"Wow!" Zhang Guan pushed with one hand, and the basketball accurately passed to the hand of Sun Yue who was the closest to the basket. Sun Yue took a step after catching the ball, then jumped high and completed the attack with a dunk of both hands. .
The Chinese team leads Slovenia by 10 points, which is a double-digit difference. Coach Zidovic did not hesitate to call a timeout.
"What are you doing? I don't know what you were thinking, but now in the game, you can only think about the game for me." Zidovich shouted at Brezek, Obviously Ridovich also believes that the goal was just the black pot of Brezek.
Other players also looked at Brezek, some people were questioning, while others showed blame. Everyone feels that in the face of a defender, he can't hit the basket with a back single, which is definitely a problem with Brezek.
Brezek felt he was wronged more than Dou E. He said: "Coach, that Zhang Guan's strength is very strong, he has been very hard to move forward to the basket, but I can't move at all!"
"You lost to Zhang Guan in strength? Do you think this is a reasonable excuse?" Zidovic dismissed his lips contemptuously, and then added: "You are a power center over seven feet tall!"
"Coach, what I said is true. If you don't believe it, you can try another one!" Brezek said rather aggrievedly.
The grievous expression of Brezek fell into the eyes of coach Zidovich, but made him more angry.
"If you don't think about progress, just give me this ridiculous excuse! Huh, do you think I dare not change you?" Coach Zidovic wanted to fight here, his eyes flashed coldly, and said: "You give I stay on the bench and reflect on it, we change people!"
...
After the timeout, Slovenia replaced Brezek, replaced with a backcourt player, and then replaced Radović to the center position. As a result, although the height of the Slovenian team has decreased, but the backcourt firepower has increased.
However, Dragic faced Zhang Zhang and was still at an absolute disadvantage. He chose to continue to play pick-and-roll.
This time with Dragic, it was replaced by Radović. Although he does not have the height of Brezek, he has a strong body and a good shooting ability.
However, Zhang Guan can cover Brezek and Radovich, which makes Radovich not willing to shoot. After picking up and picking up the ball, he made the same choice as Brezek, using the misplaced opportunity to attack the basket with the ball.
However, his encounter was the same as that of Brezek. He ran into a wall, which was Zhang Guan’s body. After being surprised, he chose to use his back singles, but Zhang Guan was put to death. Unable to move forward, Zhang Guan then made another quick interception, launched a fast break, three sophomore in the frontcourt, the Chinese team scored two more points.
"What is Lakovich doing? After playing in Russia for a few seasons, wouldn't it even be a single in the back?" Coach Ridovich shouted angrily, but the next second, he suddenly thought that Lakovy Qi's performance is exactly the same as Brezek just now.
"Is Brezek true? Zhang Guan's strength is enough to hold an inside center?" The idea flashed from Ridovic's mind, but the irrationality made him veto it instantly. This possibility.
Perhaps it was unwilling to believe this. Zidovic did not make tactical adjustments. On the field, the Slovenia team became more and more passive, and the score gap exceeded 15 points in an instant, and went straight towards 20.
...
"Oh! Damn!" Naqba's three-pointer hit the rim.
Almost at the same time, there was a cry from the Chinese team: "Rebound!"
Roughly standing up, showing agility that is not in accordance with his age, he jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands, and firmly controlled the ball.
"The game is over!" Nack Barton suddenly looked disappointed. At this time, there were less than twenty seconds left until the end of the game, and his goal was not scored. The Slovenian team also lost the capital for the overturn.
The current score is 76-68, China's lead is eight points, if the goal was just scored by Naqba, the five-point difference uses foul tactics, and there is a chance to overturn. But now, using foul tactics, even if China only scores 1 goal, the point difference will become nine points, which requires three three-pointers to be able to equalize, and during the period China can no longer share. This could not be done in the last twenty seconds, so the Slovenian team has lost the game.
The rough free throws did not disappoint. At the critical time, they made two free throws, widening the difference to double digits.
Next, in Slovenia's offense, China did not give too strong defense, allowing Slovenia to increase the score to 70 points, and the final score of the game was also fixed at 78 to 70.
After a lapse of four years, the Chinese team once again defeated Slovenia in the World Championships, but this time not by lore, but by absolute strength.
This time it was not a group match, but a knockout.
The Slovenian team stopped in the quarterfinals, while China's was successfully promoted to the quarterfinals of the World Championships.
And China's next opponent will be the host Turkish men's basketball team. (To be continued.)
