Chapter 36: [Excellent defense, sharp attack]

　　 After the warm-up, both players stand in the field and the game is about to start.
　　Lance checked the information and said strangely: "Today the Knicks adjusted the starting lineup and got an inexperienced edgeman. Are Oakley and Mills not on the injury list?"
　　Arnold said: "The Hornets also have a non-draft newcomer to the NBA, let's see how it works."
Five of the Knicks: Charlie Ward, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.
　　Five Hornets: David Wesley, Glen Rice, Tony Farmar, Anthony Mason Jr., Verati Divac.
　　 It happens that the newcomers on both sides are small forwards.
　　Famar entered the NBA as a non-draft pick. He is 206cm tall, weighs 111kg, is tall and strong, and is 27 years old. Prior to this he played in the European League for several years, good at defense and low offense.
　　The Hornets want to replicate the Knicks' three-court formation in the frontcourt, better protect the rebounds, and target the defensive combination of the Knicks Johnson and Oakley. Now, the Hornets coach Dave Cowens is a little confused.
what's going on? Who is Bowen?
　　Knicks did not play cards according to common sense?
　　 Van Gundy has left a rigid impression on many people. Forever, that set will start, as long as no one is injured, it will not be adjusted for a season.
　　 This season the Knicks are clearly different. Ward came off the bench last season and today replaces Childs. He will organize, outside and other three-point opportunities to shoot, stable than Cheers. This is the method used by Kidd in the future when the Mavericks win the championship, does not occupy the ball.
On the sidelines, Fan Gandi was expressionless and whispered to Yang Rui: "You have a seat to sit together? Don't tilt your legs, you are not a fan."
　　 "Jeff, the opponent is just a wasp, don't frown deliberately, it seems that you care about your opponent?" Yang Rui tilted Erlang's legs and hugged his chest with both hands, as if he were at home.
　　Fan Gandy hummed: "This is a game. You'd better be serious. Otherwise, if you lose, the media will definitely not say anything good."
　　 "No? You think we will lose to the Hornets?"
　　 "......"
　　 "There are wonderful goals in a while, do you stand up and celebrate?" Yang Rui asked.
"What do you want to do?"
　　 "Determine the safe distance, I have prepared the towel, I am afraid the distance will be too close to throw you." Yang Rui took out a towel and lit it.
　　Isn't the towel throwing off the towel players doing it? ! Van Gundy suddenly felt that there was an insurmountable age gap with Yang Rui.
　　Yang Rui doesn’t think it’s embarrassing, is it okay to be suffocated to be happy? He does whatever he wants. In the past life, he has never had the opportunity to watch the NBA on the spot. Now he is excited.
　　Ewing jumped the ball to win Divac. "Ghost Hand" is a famous floor flow center.
　　 Ward received the ball and passed the half, and his back was waiting for the players to pull away. Ewing was screened for Houston without the ball on the left side. Johnson ran to the middle and made a pick-and-roll for Ward.
　　The two screens were carried out almost simultaneously. Mason switched to Ward. Ward took a one-step pass to the side. Houston got rid of Rice and took a three-pointer.
　　 Divac was standing near the penalty area, looking away from two steps away, without changing the defense, the ball was hollowed into the net. 3 to 0.
　　 This tactic has been unsuccessful. In fact, it is a set that Divac is good at in the future. He will cover Bibby, Bobby Jackson and others on the periphery to help his teammates catch the ball. Yang Rui has experimented in the Knicks in advance.
　　If you want to prevent the ball-free running position on the side, the center will not be slow, but Divac can never get up quickly.
　　The Hornets attacked, and the Knicks used a "pseudo-joint defense." This is Van Gundy's tactics, Yang Rui benefited greatly.
　　Yang Rui arranged defensive tactics, mainly man-to-man. After encountering a pick-and-roll strategy, he quickly changed his defense strategy. The main defense shot from the outside. After someone cuts, the inside will go to supplement the defense. As long as the opponent is good at responding to the pass, such an tactic will inevitably appear empty.
　　 Most teams lack the ability to respond. Unlike the Hornets, Divac and Mason are excellent responders.
　　Van Gandi's defensive tactics, the center is near the penalty area, protecting the frame at any time, the outside line is doing a good job of rotation, and when necessary, letting people who are not good at shooting take a long-range shot.
　　 Divac pulled out, how far Ewing took two steps, and looked face to face. On the surface, it looks like people are staring at people, but in reality it is impossible to stare at this distance. After several passes, Divac was ready to hit the ball and Houston let Famaar flank to interfere.
Divac opened up his vision, accurately passed the ball to the air, Famaer received the ball from the bottom line, did not shoot when no one was defending, drove the ball to the basket, Ewing changed defense in place, and the tall body covered the penalty area. Farmar failed to make a layup and could only pass the ball.
　　The NBA clearly stipulates that joint defense is not allowed. In fact, many tactics are not man-to-man, and no one has ever been blown by the referee. If this is a violation, the league should not be called the NBA, it is more appropriate to directly call the heads-up game. When Jordan played the Pistons, they often followed the two without the ball.
　　 It looked like 24 seconds, under Bowen's interference, the jumper missed the rim, Johnson grabbed a rebound in the backcourt.
　　 Ward took the ball to the frontcourt, and Ewing on the left helped Houston get rid of it.
　　Mason changed the pick and roll, Houston took a one-step pass, gave Johnson running to the right 70 degrees, a step inside the three-point line, shot in the middle. UU reading books www.uukaanshu.com
　　 Divac came out and stretched his hand, slightly disturbing, the goal was scored. 5 to 0.
　　Fan Gandi knew Yang Rui was right again. It is because Oakley does not play that the team can have this advantage of misplaced heads-up. Divac defended Johnson or Houston, and it was too slow.
　　Wesley took the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Divac. Johnson changed defense much faster. As long as he did not encounter a particularly sharp super guard, he would not be easily passed.
　　 The ball passed to the middle. Divac faced Ward with a height advantage to jump shot and hit the iron. Ewing protected the backcourt rebound and then landed.
　　 side screen, Ward passed to Houston, the latter attracted Mason to switch to Johnson and failed to pass Johnson, took two steps and waited for Ewing to cut, giving it a low position.
　　Rice is 201CM tall, too low to defend Ewing in the low post, the Knicks three other guys pulled out the outside line, Divac withdrew to make up the defense, Ewing passed the ball homeopathically, 70 degrees Johnson on the right was empty.
　　Leis released Ewing in the low position on the left to chase and defend too far away, and can only be handed over to his teammates. How can the nearest Mason dare to empty Houston?
　　 Johnson took a look, shot three points, and hit again! 8 to 0.
　　The narrator Arnold said depressively: "The Hornets' defense at the opening is too lax, so it is not possible to play, and the Knicks are both good three-pointers."
　　Lance said: "Today the Knicks are uncharacteristically, Van Gundy uses Ewing as a blue collar. The opening is all outside players shooting. The Hornets are in a bad situation, the newcomer Famar can not shoot, I don't understand why he should start."
　　 said, Farmar was empty again, he tried to shoot on the right, no one defended and missed the rim, Ewing got Divac and got the rebound.
　　 excellent defense, sharp offensive, the Knicks clearly have the upper hand.
