Legendary basketball manager

This is not just an effect that can be achieved by putting five people in their early two meters on the field.

If it were just five "mediocre" two-meter players, then the situation could be ...

The back line can't keep up with the opponent's small man, and the inside line can't stop the opponent's center.

If it is replaced by five two-meter players with excellent physical fitness, mobility and strength...

That also couldn't do the Rockets' defense just now.

There is no other reason, the lack of a defensive core like Ben Wallace.

Therefore, if you want to play "ultimate basketball", in addition to five talented and moderately tall players, you also need a person who can support the defensive system and can assist and supplement defense for teammates at any time.

It just so happens that the Rockets' current lineup has both of these points.

And after meeting these two requirements, the defensive ability of this team will become extremely terrifying!

First of all, all the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics are meaningless.

Because no matter how you do the pick-and-roll, as long as I keep switching defenses, I can guarantee that there will be an excellent defensive player in front of the ball holder.

Secondly, it is also difficult for opponents to abandon tactics such as pick-and-rolls and adopt individual singles.

Because there are five players on the Rockets field, any one of them has a good defensive ability.

In the current lineup, McGrady's defense may be around the average level.

But like some super giants, t-mac's ability to defend off the ball is slightly weaker, but if you really want to hit him with the ball, he will do his best to defend even for the star's face.

McGrady who defended with all his strength, that made super giants like Kobe and James suffer!

In the end, once the opponent's attack misses, these five players who are over two meters tall and have outstanding physical fitness will launch a counterattack immediately.

The fast break of the "Ultimate Basketball" lineup, whether it is speed or finishing ability, is very terrifying!

In the next two rounds, the Spurs showed great inadaptability to the Rockets' defense.

Ginobili finally broke through George's defense and went inside.

But Tucker on the side made a horizontal hand and poked the ball away.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and McGrady broke into the penalty area and made a layup.

Looking back, Duncan actively sought singles in the low post.

But in the face of Ben Wallace's defense, he was obviously not well prepared.

After several times of ineffective hitting, Shi Buddha turned around halfway, intending to rely on his height advantage to force a hook shot.

But Da Ben, whose physical condition has returned to its peak, is not so easy to deal with.

I saw him leaping up, jumping to an almost terrifying height, and slapping the ball with his palm.

CCTV commentator Yang Yi couldn't help exclaiming after seeing this scene: "My God, Ben Wallace's jump height is almost as high as Griffin's dunk in the first quarter!"

Duncan, who had a meal of "spicy hot pot", was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that this veteran who was two years older than himself could jump to such a height in such a short time!

"Long time no see, Ben."

Duncan suddenly said such a sentence for no reason.

Big Ben smiled after hearing this: "Long time no see, Tim."

............

After two consecutive offensive failures, Popovich was already frowning on the sidelines.

So much research and analysis was done before the game, but in the game, it didn't seem to have much effect.

[In the final analysis, if you want to break this infinite defense, Tim has to stand up. ]

[It's just...it's not easy to single out the current Ben. ]

Popovich thought to himself.

While he was thinking, Duncan failed again.

He made a mid-range shot after a tentative step, and the iron went wide.

Tucker jumped up, protected the rebound, and handed the ball to McGrady beside him.

T-mac lowered his head, accelerated, and quickly pushed the ball across the half court.

At the same time, the rest of the Rockets also followed up at a very high speed.

For a while, there was a feeling of "five arrows fired together"!

Fortunately, the Spurs' defense is also very good.

Not only did they all fall back in place, but everyone remained in front of the corresponding offensive player.

Just from this retreat, it can be seen that the Spurs are well-trained and have done a lot of preparation work.

However, no matter how well they did, in the eyes of McGrady, there are still loopholes.

I saw that t-mac suddenly threw the ball on the backboard while he was walking, then accelerated, passed between the two Spurs players, and jumped up...

"bang!"

McGrady caught the ball with both hands in the air, held his stomach to charge up, and then poured the ball in!

"roar~"

"t-mac!!!"

"Hhh He dared to use this trick in such a tense and intense match, he is too brave!"

"Basketball poet, Tracy is so...sexy!"

At this moment, the Toyota Center becomes a sea of ​​joy.

At 35:31, the Rockets took a 4-point lead.

Seeing that the previous balance of power was about to tilt, Duncan gritted his teeth, as if something had been decided.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Ginobili holds the ball at 45° on the right.

Duncan stepped forward and set up a pick-and-roll to help Yaodao get rid of the opposing defender smoothly.

The Rockets still adopt the strategy of switching defenses, letting Big Ben defend Ginobili.

However, in this way, the defender in front of Duncan becomes Paul George.

Shi Buddha immediately sank to the bottom, fell to a low position, and opened his hands for the ball.

Although George is taller than Ben, his strength cannot be compared at all.

Duncan stepped forward, and there was nothing he could do behind him.

Fortunately, George responded quickly.

He stepped back, avoiding physical contact with Duncan first, then adjusted his angle, and suddenly moved in front of Duncan.

"Beautiful, George's choice of defense around the front is very wise."

Yang Yi explained in a timely manner.

"In this way, he can use his length and length to block the pass to Duncan."

Yu Jia added.

However, everyone still underestimated Ginobili's creativity.

With a flick of his wrist, a wonderful lob pass passed George's fingertips to Duncan's hands.

After Shi Buddha picked it up, he stepped forward with his right foot and jumped up.

Tucker on the inside quickly took a step sideways, trying to make up for the defense.

But Duncan faced his defense and steadily advanced the ball.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and Tucker blocked the foul.

Two points scored, but also a penalty!

The originally noisy Toyota Center Arena fell silent in an instant.

With this goal, the Spurs successfully broke the Rockets' infinite defense through the wonderful cooperation of the two stars!

Duncan stood on the free throw line and hit the ball steadily.

At 35:34, the Spurs were only one point behind.

During the service interval, Ben Wallace called his teammates to his side: "Next, we will not switch defenses for any pick-and-rolls Duncan participates in. I will defend him all the way."

Everyone nodded.

Except for Big Ben, no one else can guard Duncan.

Such a change has an immediate effect.

In the next round, the Spurs' offense fell into a quagmire again.

Under Big Ben's defense, Duncan didn't even have a chance to catch the ball.

The Rockets took the opportunity to counterattack again and scored two more points!

Mark Jackson on the sidelines witnessed the whole process, and sighed again in his heart:

"The manager's deal is too critical..."

"With a defensive leader like Ben, the team's on-the-spot adaptability has risen by more than a notch!"
