Chapter 848: Major General

In the 1961-62 season, the NBA revised the rules to stipulate that only man-to-man defense can be used in the game, and the common defense tactics used by amateur basketball are entered into the cold palace and named illegal defense. At the time, this rule made many newly joined college students and foreign players feel uncomfortable.
This included Popovich, who was serving in the US Air Force Academy at the time. Hearing the news, it was inevitable that he would also speak poorly to the league at that time, okay, a few words, after all, the defense of this type of amateur player is stronger than himself. The best way for players.
Before the start of the preseason training camp this season, the NBA announced that it would allow a re-defense in the new season, which greatly impacted the NBA.
"I think most coaches are reluctant to use joint defense tactics, at least I don't plan to use them." Jazz coach Jerry Sloan is very repulsive to joint defense. "We spent a lot of time practicing joint defense this time, but I try not to Use this tiresome tactic in the game."
The NBA's original vision was to increase the score through joint defense to attract the audience. However, many coaches disagree. In their minds, man-to-man defense, although tired, is better than joint defense, especially when fighting back, and joint defense has a lot of disadvantages.
Popovich also publicly stated that he hated joint defense. He believes that joint defense will reduce the player's sense of responsibility. Fierce man-to-talent talent is the basis of the NBA's defense.
But what did he see tonight?
In the past three years, the league's overlord, the defending champion Pistons, has played a textbook-like joint defense tactic under the leadership, and it is refreshing to keep kidding and counterattacking.
If, even overlords like Pistons humbly agree with the new rules and move closer to the league, what qualifications and reasons do they have to justify themselves?
Popovich was in deep contemplation. What he thought was not how to solve Kidd's embarrassment on the court, but how to use the joint defense to make the team profit in future games.
The best teacher is often your enemy.
The Spurs are still not the Pistons' enemies because they have never reached the finals, but who is not fighting for the championship for every team that has the chance to make the playoffs?
"Gilbert, from now on, you come to control the ball." Popovich first gave instructions.
Then he looked at Kidd, who was deep in thought, "Jason, you are standing in this position."
Both Kidd and Popovich have to admit a bad fact-Kidd is a bad shooter, no matter where he is on the outside, his alignment is bad.
His most accurate position is a 45-degree angle on the left, where he shoots 39% from the field.
"Coach, what should I do?" Arenas is an unrestrained offensive player, but Popovich always suppresses his desire to attack.
But tonight, Popovich said: "I give you freedom, what can you give me?"
"I'll beat their together!" Arenas shouted.
"You'd better do it!" Popovich waved his hand and let the players play.
It's no surprise that the Spurs let Arenas take the ball. At the peak, Arenas is one of the best two-point guards in history. He is a small ball two-point guard active in the dark defense era. With his characteristics, it will be more open to the small ball era.
Ginobili's defensive pressure increased in vain, Arenas dribbling slowly, and the glaring upper limb muscles reflected how hard he practiced in private.
Many of the sudden second rounds were underestimated before the draft because of talent, age or play style, but the only thing that Arenas was underestimated was his self-esteem that would never lose.
He is a typical player with only B-level potential but turns himself into an S-class star through inhuman efforts.
High position, Gasol's pick-and-roll, Rashid's defense of Arenas' breakthrough, and then, the young frivolous general stepped on the three-point line and shot a long two-pointer with a straight back.
4 to 10
"Don't throw it, force him to break through." Mo Mengchen reminded.
Rashid nodded and expressed his understanding, it was the Pistons' attack.
This round, the Pistons' running ball dazzled the Spurs, but the pass was too fast. Instead, Magloire didn't know how to do it. He could only keep up with the rhythm of hard work, in a way he was not used to. A stinky ball came out.
Mo Mengchen had at least a three-meter-long wingspan to save the ball.
"Beep!"
The referee decided that the Pistons were out of bounds. At this time, Westphal saw the move, replaced Magloire, and went to Brad Miller.
The NBA's rules prevent the center who executes the defense from shrinking to the basket. The defense of three seconds makes the NBA defense like an empty shell and no soul.
The core of the joint defense lies in the linkage of the four outsiders, and a fierce center with a deterrent cover is also the core layout of the joint defense.
Since the center can't sit in the basket, the center's ability to protect the basket under the joint defense system is not the point.
Arenas stepped forward while racking the ball, Kirilenko and Gasol pulled left and right, and the Admiral took a high pick-and-roll. The height and thickness of this frontcourt combination are sufficient to confront any team.
Arenas borrowed the Admiral's pick-and-roll to accelerate the breakthrough. Miller couldn't keep up with the speed of the major general and lost it in an instant, but the piston's joint defense was very tight. When Miller fell behind, Hill dropped Kirilenko , Come to help defense.
Arenas put Kirilenko off the pass, leaping in one step, gliding towards the bottom corner on the right, hitting the board.
6 to 10
"AK, if you have a 40% three-point percentage, I will pass the ball to you."
When Arenas returned to defense, he did not forget to explain to the Russians who did not help him to wipe his on the defensive end.
Although Kirilenko was a draft player in 1999, he has been in Europe before. This year is his NBA rookie season.
Ginobili was cut off by the Pistons, but the Spurs chose Kirilenko by mistake. Whether it was a loss or a profit was really hard to say.
Kirilenko is still adapting to the NBA's three-point line. At present, his three-point shooting rate is only 25%, which is not as good as Kidd. If it is not Mo Mengchen who is wholeheartedly wanting to fight against Ki, the Kirilenko is the most deserved Short player.
"Now I am light without a ball."
Kidd greeted Mo Mengchen who dribbled over, said.
"is it?"
I make you light without the ball.
Mo Mengchen's ball was handed over to Miller. At the moment of the ball, he ran past Miller. Kidd must keep up with Mo Mengchen, because once he can't keep up, the ball will shuttle back and forth through the Spurs' line of defense, cutting it off like a pair of scissors.
Miller's passing skills are several grades better than Magloire, they dare not care.
Kidd's ball defense is first-rate, and his ability to defend and participate in the package is not as strong as that of outside players. However, Mo Menchen, who has no ball defense, moves fast. Players who particularly like shuttle pick-and-roll and cover are average.
Mo Mengchen threw him away, Kidd could only let AK47 keep up with his pace.
In this way, Kidd's defensive object was replaced by Hill.
Kidd, who claims to be able to defend three positions, can he defend against Hill?
The answer is of course no.
Ingram also claimed to be the template Durant, the Lakers facade for the next two decades, and what the astronomical telescope can see.
Encountering Hill's breakthrough striker, Kidd's defensive collapse in an instant, the player who shared his Rookie of the Year with him at that moment, quickly crossed the line of defense and disappeared in front of him.
"BOOM!"
"Good shot!" Lambiel shouted. "There are still penalties!"
The admiral's effort to help defend against fouls also made Hill's dunk a lot.
Hilga scored a penalty.
13 to 6
Ginobili clearly couldn't cover Arenas, and Hill immediately came here to exchange defenders with him.
No one reminded him what to do, Devil Mountain was already used to playing against his opponent's trump card.
I never had this consciousness.
Kidd can mobilize his teammates by yelling without a ball in his hand, but he used to be different.
Before coming to the Spurs, Kidd was a silent leader. He would use gestures to make his teammates go to where he should go. It seems to be mature and stable, but lack of communication will always cause problems.
Now, in order to clearly convey instructions, the entire venue is his voice, can it be said that he has become unstable?
No, he became more reliable.
Arenas is strong, but his first step is not fast enough, Hill keeps up and sticks closely, and the general is forced to the dead end~EbookFREE.me~ Arenas had to pass the ball.
At this point, the defense is considered successful.
The ball came to Gasol and the tactics had been killed. After Arenas was strangled, the Spurs lost the tactical launch point and Gasol handled the ball on his own.
The Spaniard has proven that he can afford the top spot. He has averaged 18+8+3+2 blocks per game so far this season. The basic data and high-end data are among the top rookies of the same season. The Spurs are the second most important player.
After receiving the ball temporarily, he turned to face the basket and attacked. Rashid did not expect him to come here and lost his defensive position.
Miller pounced from the flank, but Gasol sent the ball with his left hand.
This is the person who was thinking about it.
One of the most suitable inside for Princeton.
The admiral happily accepted the assist from rookie and scored a jumper.
