Chapter 33 BOX-2
"Ingram made two free throws and the score was back to eleven."

"Look at how Qin Ming will choose to play this ball, because this is the first time he has seen the opponent use the twin towers in the NBA, which limits his breakthrough, and to a certain extent, curbs his aggressiveness in high-post pick-and-rolls."

"Yes, the Pelicans now have two towers. You call out one to play high pick-and-rolls, and I have another one inside, so I only need to target your three-pointers, and you have not yet shown the rest."

Qin Ming dribbled the ball for halftime, and because of the team change, the Pelicans double-teamed Qin Ming before he came up.

He panted, dribbled the ball to find the rhythm, and by the way drove Jrue Holiday's defensive footsteps. At this time, Zubac had already come up for the pick-and-roll.

Qin Ming seems to want to use one trick to beat the Pelicans, which is also his favorite rhythm.

Sure enough, the Pelicans switched defenses directly.

The moment Holiday came up on the pick-and-roll, he retreated directly to the three-point line, preventing Zubac from making an air cut.

Hayes faced Qin Ming, holding his arm high, preventing Qin Ming from making a move easily.

Because of his height, it would not be so easy for Qin Ming to shoot against Hayes.

All he has to do is to use disguised or shifting movements to pass the inside players who are not well defended on the outside, and then go inside to cause damage.

Qin Ming did the same.

He used the same large-scale disguised action of Iverson again. The range of this action is very large, and the intention of the disguised form is also very obvious. With just one move, Hayes was shaken aside.

Qin Ming accelerated in an instant, with all his weight on the front. Before he ran to the penalty area, Okafor was already waiting inside, ready to help defend.

At this time, Harrell is also preparing to make an empty cut, and he can eat cakes at any time.

"The Pelicans chose to switch, and that's what they switched."

"Actually, if Harden is holding the ball, this is his favorite rhythm."

"Yes, if you let Harden break through to this position, he can throw shots, feed Capela, and even draw fouls."

In fact, this is what Qin Ming is planning to do.

Because the distance Okafor gave himself was very ambiguous, it happened to be the distance that allowed him to perform high throws, and also allowed him to feed himself cakes.

He looked at Okafor who was still undecided to come up, and decided to play the ball himself.

Qin Ming made a small throw with his right hand, the movement was very smooth and freehand, it was a very easy throw.

The ball hits the basket accurately.

"Qin Ming saw that Okafor didn't come up, so he made a throw and hit the ball again. This is also his No. 11 point tonight."

"If Qin Ming can throw the ball, then the Pelicans will not be very easy to play. Because Okafor can't come up, as long as there is a little space, Qin Ming will pass the ball in."

"This style of play is really Harden. Qin Ming is also a player with a high IQ. Now we will see if the Pelicans can regain their rhythm on offense. They had a good first half."

Qin Ming's drop shot basically killed the Pelicans' defense in the cradle.

It is easy for him to score, but while he keeps scoring, you can only accept your fate.

Because you change teams, you can't guard against it. Once Qin Ming calls out for a pick-and-roll, the Pelicans can't stop it at all.

Unless they play the five minors and switch defenses infinitely, Qin Ming's singles ability after the pick-and-roll has not been particularly abnormal.

The Pelicans once again had Zhu Holiday and Ingram pick and roll, and the Clippers did not choose to switch defenses this time.

Because the space for the Pelicans is actually very small. If the opponent makes a strong three-pointer and misses, the Clippers can push a fast break. If they don't grab a three-pointer, it will be difficult to move inside.

Hayes has a little three-point ability, but his shooting percentage is not high.

Holiday passed the pick-and-roll with the ball and found that the Clippers did not come up to defend, but waited inside the three-point line.

Holiday made a three-pointer, and he missed the three-pointer at work this time.

Instead, Hayes, who was standing in the bottom corner, and Okafor, who was stuck inside, were stranded in the penalty area.

Qin Ming picked up the rebound at the elbow and started to push the fast break without even thinking about it.

Holiday and Ingram quickly returned to defense in the frontcourt, and they faced the fast break of Qin Ming, Shamet, and Morris.

Three-for-two.

"Holiday failed to hit a three-pointer, and his touch seems to be bad. Qin Ming picked up the rebound, and it was a fast break. Qin Ming's speed was very fast, but Huo Ledi was in front of him. This ball Huo Ledi wanted to prevent Qin Ming from continuing to advance, but he turned around and passed it directly!"

After Qin Ming saw Holiday stop, he immediately knew what the opponent was going to do. He switched his steps in the air, and his body turned around as smoothly as Dove.

He was just stuck in place.

As a result, this fast break formed a three-on-one halftime.

Seeing Holiday go up, Ingram quickly retreated to the penalty area. Qin Ming had already turned around and entered the three-point line. After three steps, Ingram threw the ball up.

Ingram wanted to use his height and wingspan to interfere with Qin Ming's shot, but it was clearly not a shot.

Morris jumped high and smashed the basketball into the blue frame. After hanging on the frame for a while, he came down and gave Qin Ming a high five.

Qin Ming's hand hurt from this palm.

Gentry's expression didn't have any waves. He looked at the field and knew that his players and his own decision-making had been done, but the opponent's ability was obviously higher than that.

He stood up and yelled at Holiday: "The offense continues, and the defense becomes the lead defense. After halftime pick-and-roll, use BOX-2 tactics!"

Holiday nodded, thinking in his heart that the coach really wanted to win this game.

The BOX-2 tactic, based on the BOX-1 tactic, is a workaround.

The BOX-1 tactic is a heterogeneous double-team tactic used by the Raptors to deal with Curry last season. As long as Curry holds the ball outside the three-point line in the half court, the defender and an insider will come out to double-team slowly.

And one of my own centers will guard the basket and prevent you from attacking, try not to let the core players take shots, and let the role players take three-pointers.

These shot role players are definitely not three-pointers.

Such as Zubac, Harrell.

The BOX-2 tactic is aimed at players like Qin Ming. This tactic is used to target small players with high pick-and-rolls and then double-team them.

This is also a defensive tactic that the Pelicans defensive coach came up with this summer, and it will soon be popularized.

Because this is also a defensive tactic that basically all teams will occasionally use once in the playoffs or during the regular season, specifically to target Qin Ming or other small guards.
