Chapter 218: Style mutation

In the second half, the game style of the 76ers and the Nuggets suddenly changed.
The defense is coming! Compressive defense is here!
If the first half is an exhibition game, then the second half will be a playoff game against Maimang.
This game is also time for another opponent to play a contest.
Larry Brown vs. Jim Burheim!
Larry Brown, born on September 14, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York, USA, is a former American professional basketball player and a point guard. After retiring, he began his coaching career. In 1973, 1975 and early 1976, Brown, who was shortly coaching the coach, was elected the ABA Coach of the Year three times. In 1980 and 1988, respectively led Louisville and Kansas to win the NCAA championship, and was elected the Naismith Academy Coach of the Year.
Jim Burheim, born on November 17, 1944, is a former Syracuse University team player. After graduation, he started his coaching career and gradually took over the leadership of Syracuse University. He is the creator of Syracuse University basketball. He led the team to the NCAA Finals in 1996, and he was also named the best coach in the United States. Currently, Jim Burheim ranks fifth in the history of coaching wins in NCAA history.
The two have similar experiences, both of which are players, and only then took charge of the coach.
Also similar is that both guys admire defense, both build their own team system, and they also have the ability to turn corruption into magic.
This game is like two people playing chess.
...
On the court, Wang Dazhi held the ball in the middle, and Coleman clung to blocking the way, not giving Wang Dazhi a chance to go in the middle.
"Dean!"
As soon as Wang Dazhi greeted, inside center Dean Garrett mentioned it.
Pick and roll!
Facing the pick-and-roll, the 76ers' Coleman and Ratliff were very decisive and chose to change directly!
Wang Dazhi has never been able to get a good chance, and the ball can only be passed to the flanking Eric Washington.
At this time, more than half of the 24 seconds passed, and only 9 seconds remained.
Eric Washington has to face Iverson's defense.
Iverson clung to it and put pressure on Washington.
The other four of the 76ers behind Iverson stood on Washington's passing route, cutting off his contact with others.
Not much time, Washington chose to go it alone, and under Iverson's interference, he forced a shot.
When~
Did not enter!
Larry Brown nodded off the court. He was still satisfied with the defense this time.
Block the middle, lure the opponent to the wing side, apply pressure when the ball reaches the wing side, rotate, and start to cut off the pass line when there are only 8 seconds left in 24 seconds!
This is Larry Brown's defensive strategy.
In turn, it was the Nuggets' turn to defend the 76 Heat.
Li Nan faced Bobby Jackson with the ball in the middle and also played the pick-and-roll to greet Coleman.
Coleman put it forward, followed by Wang Dazhi.
When Li Nan moved, Wang Dazhi also moved very quickly. He delayed Li Nan's breakthrough. When Jackson caught up, Wang Dazhi hurriedly returned to chase Coleman, not forgetting to interfere with Li Nan's passing route.
Li Nan chose not to have a good timing for the shot, but Bobby Jackson touched his body and interfered with the shot. Obviously there was a foul, but the referee's scale today was a bit loose and did not blow.
哐哐哐~
The basketball hit the hoop, stumbled for a while, and rolled out.
Did not enter!
Wang Dazhi's textbook delay and return are the key to the success of this defense.
Jim Burheim held his arms and smiled.
Countless drills off the court, in exchange for a few seconds of performance on the court.
But these are indeed worth it!
Slowly, the rhythm of the two sides became more tense.
When the opponent catches a backcourt rebound, the defender makes selective pressure to prevent a fast break.
Use half-round front blocking to control each opponent's sideline serve.
Strong dialogue between the inside line and the meat.
Fierce scramble for posts by outsiders.
...
The first half was a gorgeous offensive performance, but the second half was a passionate defensive drama. The audience still enjoyed watching it.
Both teams are defending as much as they can, but their scoring efficiency has fallen. The scores of both sides are not growing fast, but they are tight.
In the final 3 minutes of the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides was 88-89, with the 76ers only leading by 1 point.
In this difficult situation, the Nuggets' defense on the court suddenly changed.
The five members of the Nuggets formed a man-to-man match against the five 76ers. However, in addition to the pressure on the ball-handler, the other four were in a free state, ready to defend.
This time, Li Nan with the ball also raised his brows.
"Isn't this zone defense? Isn't the NBA not allowing zone defense?"
Li Nan didn't find any passing and breakthrough opportunities, and finally chose to take advantage of a retreat step after the screen to make a strong start.
Wang Dazhi's supplementary defense was very aggressive.
Li Nan's shot increased the arc.
哐!
The ball missed!
Larry Brown stood up suddenly off the court.
"This is joint defense!"
Larry Brown found an interview to protest.
However, it is strange that the referee did not say anything about this.
Jim Burheim on the other side smiled.
"Hen~ who said this is a zone defense?"
The Nuggets' defense is similar to a counter defense, but it is not a defense.
The NBA does not allow the use of zone defense, but how does the referee judge whether the team uses zone defense?
Jim Burheim learned through data analysis that the referee just gridded the field, and it is illegal for players to leave a few grids.
The Nuggets players are stepping on the edge of this grid to defend.
This is what the Nuggets spent 6 preseason games and more than 20 regular season trials and analysis.
"It's all thanks to Li's proposal to me, haha."
If Li Nan knew this, he would definitely be troubled.
Old man, how can you do this to me? You are vindicating revenge!
...
The Nuggets came to an "unlawful joint defense" from time to time, and the 76ers' offense led by Li Nan was somewhat blocked.
Of course, the Nuggets' final offensive efficiency was not high.
In the last 30 seconds of the game, 92-91, the Nuggets led by 1 point and the 76ers had the ball.
On the field, the 76ers still Li Nan controls the ball.
In this game, Iverson did what he said and gave the ball to Li Nan. He is a supporting role today.
Facing the Nuggets' defense, Li Nan had a very hard hand this time. With the help of the screen, an opportunity appeared and he shot immediately.
3 points! Goal in!
92-94
"Wow!"
"Lee! Lee! Lee!"
The audience cheered enthusiastically.
Li Nan's goal is very important and almost sealed the victory.
However, after a timeout for the Nuggets, Bobby Jackson and Eric Washington played a cross-run tactic.
Defensive Li Nan and Iverson made mistakes.
Originally, according to training ~EbookFREE.me~, this ball was to be turned around, but Iverson was looking after Washington, which he was defending.
The result was embarrassing.
Serving you, Wang Dazhi passed directly to the hoop and it was given to Bobby Jackson.
Easy layup!
Goal in!
94-94
In 1.3 seconds, the 76ers did not pause.
Li Nan hasn't given up yet!
Serving in the backcourt, Li Nan directly pushed a three-quarters of a long three-pointer.
Beep~~ The light is on!
Many people are staring at this ball in the air!
Will there be miracles?
