123. Dream Footsteps, Wang Zhi Turned Out To Be An Insider?

In the critical G4, the time has entered the last 6 minutes, and the Mavericks are in trouble!

Tim Duncan is unstoppable at this point, he dominates on both ends!

Of course, this is not the first day that Duncan wreaked havoc on the court. In G1 of the series, he played a horror show of 40+15. Although the Spurs lost in G2, Duncan still had an output of 30+15.

It's just that in the last G3, he returned to normal and lost two consecutive games, which made the fans ignore his dominance.

To make matters worse, Mavericks starting center Liv LaFrentz fouled five times, and once again, he will be sent off.

Considering that it was still early, Nelson had to replace him for temporary protection.

The replacement Sean Bradley has better rim protection than LaFrentz, but that's not the point!

The point is, with LaFrentz off the field, the Mavericks' offensive system has been broken!

Perhaps some Primary fans feel that LaFrentz is the most insignificant player in the Mavericks starting lineup, and it seems that there is no difference between him and him.

Obviously, this understanding is very wrong.

River LaFrentz plays a very important role in the starting lineup of the Mavericks. You can even use him as one of the most critical players on the offensive end!

Because of his presence, Duncan has to come out on high pick-and-rolls, or LaFrentz will punish him in the mid-range.

In this way, Duncan can't guard the basket, and the Spurs' basket will become empty. After losing an important rim protector, the Mavericks' various cross-coordination will become more threatening

Indeed, Dirk Nowitzki has a longer range and is more accurate than River LaFrentz.

But if Dirk Nowitzki is used as a center, then the Spurs can go to the twin towers and attack the basket.

After all the calculations, the Mavericks' style of play with LaFrentz as the center is indeed the most suitable for the Spurs, so only ten of the old Johnson have continued to use this starting lineup.

Now, LaFrentz is gone, only Bradley.

Then the high pick-and-roll at position 1 and 5 is a threat. On the offensive end, Bradley can only eat at the basket, but with Duncan squatting at the basket, he can't eat at all.

'He has some range, but the consistency of his shot is so poor that Duncan isn't going to be guarded because of his spread.

Since then, the offensive tactics of the Busheng team will undergo major adjustments.

Let Nowitzki and Nash play pick and roll, this is indeed a good choice.

After all, both of them have an attack range with no dead ends on the field. Whether it is a pick-and-roll or a smooth shot, they are both offensive and threatening.

But the premise is that the shot must be accurate!

After all, both Tony Parker and Stephen Jackson have good foot movement speed. It is not easy to get rid of the defense with the pick-and-roll.

But letting Nowitzki shoot a three-pointer against Parker is a bit too much of a gamble.

If it was the first three quarters, maybe Old Nelson would give it a try, but now, the game has reached the most critical stage, and the Mavericks need to chase points. Unless it is absolutely necessary, they will never gamble like this.

So, does old Nelson have other methods?

Yes, of course he has!

After all, on the court, the Mavericks also have an ace, yes, it is Wang Zhi!

Will Gregg Popovich and his assistant staff think Wang Zhi will be an ace?

Obviously not.

At this time, the assistant coaches of the Spurs were just talking about this issue.

"The reason why Tim Duncan is a superstar is because he can't be targeted. No one can target him. Even if you don't let him shine on the offensive end and double-team him, he always has a way. Can control the game."

"Yeah, even the big Shaquille O'Neal will be targeted because of his poor free throws, but our Tim has no such weakness."

"In contrast, the Mavericks Asian is just an outside scorer. Although his singles ability is indeed very strong, what restricts his upper limit is because he can be targeted.

One double-team and he is completely useless. "

"And on the defensive end, it is difficult for him to make any contribution to the team. This is the difference between inside players and outside players. After all, this era is still the era of centers!

The teaching assistants were discussing very happily, and Popovich did not participate in the discussion, but just listened from the sidelines.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

Obviously, this is a smug smile, and Popovich is naturally proud of his disciple Tim Duncan.

After defeating the Lakers and killing O'Neal, this is the number one insider in the league!

Compared with the new disciple of Longguo who was a good friend of old Nelson, it seems that his quality is more than one grade higher.

However, is Wang Zhi really just an attacker?

Just the type of attacker who doesn't contribute to the team when he's double-teamed?

Obviously, not!

Old Nelson called Nash and Wang Zhi to the sidelines by making substitutions and Duncan added a penalty, and arranged some tactics for the next game.

Wang Zhi and Nash nodded while listening.

Many Mavericks fans were so focused on this that they didn't even bother to see if Duncan made a free throw.

"What is coach Downey talking to Wang Zhi and Nash? It seems that they have a new tactic"||?"

We have to make changes and respond. Now that the score is behind, Wang Zhi, or other players, have to stand up, otherwise, we will lose.

"How do you stand up? The Spurs are crazy about double-teaming, they can only throw the ball, and the other players make sure to throw the ball in."

"Riv LaFrentz was replaced, Bradley was no shooting threat, which would make the Spurs' double-teaming even more insane.

With Duncan missing an extra free throw, the Mavericks protected the backboard and the game continued.

Mavericks attack.

Nash dribbled the ball upfield, and during this time, Wang Zhi did not lie in ambush at the corner three-point line, waiting for the screen to receive the ball.

There is also no mention of the 45-degree area to directly ask for the ball.

Because everyone knows that no matter which way, as long as Wang Zhi receives the ball, he will be double-teamed and must play the ball.

If you continue to play like this, the situation will be the same as before, and the facts have proved that during this period of time, the Mavericks did not have the feeling that the whole team exploded, and it is difficult to punish the Spurs.

At this time, Wang Zhi came directly to the area near the basket on the left!

Bradley is on the right, and the rest of the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley, are stretched beyond the weak-side three-point line.

At this time, Wang Zhi is still defending Mali Cross.

The Spurs rotation wing must have been impressed by Wang Zhi's consecutive isolations near the basket in the first half.

At this time, Wang Zhi came to this area again. In order to prevent Wang Zhi from receiving the ball and form a post-up single, Mali Cross tried his best to grab the position with Wang Zhi and did not give him a chance to catch the ball.

Ross's physical fitness is very good, and his confrontation ability is also good. He competed with Wang Zhi for the position and did not fall behind.

However, the two had just confronted twice, and Steve Nash, who was full of the overall situation of the court, threw the ball to the basket. Wang Zhi understood it, and suddenly retreated to block Ross's position, allowing Nash's pass to pass from the basket. Ross passed right over his head after receiving the ball smoothly.

A layup fake flew behind Ross and completely attracted Duncan.

Immediately after, Wang Zhi made another fake move to attack the basket and completely attracted Duncan, then took advantage of the opportunity to hit the ground and pass the ball to Bradley on the other side of the basket.

At this time, Bradley, who was 229, was completely empty. He didn't even jump when he raised the ball, and scored 2 points with a dunk!

98:103

"Ding, fake moves under the basket continuously deceive opponents and assists, fantasy value +2.

Finally, the Mavs played offense.

Finally, the attack was successfully led by Wang Zhi!

The fans at the scene burst into warm cheers.

"Hahaha, Wang Zhi started again, if Duncan didn't come to cover the ball, he would have scored easily, but it doesn't matter, it's also an easy assist!

"It turns out that this is the solution to double-teaming. I learned it, I learned it!"

"Hahaha, I just realized that Wang Zhi is just an inside player. Today, his inside attack threat is really impressive!"

Seeing such a scene, Popovich couldn't sit still for an instant. The calmness on his face before had disappeared, and he came to the sideline anxiously, and shouted at Mali Cross on the field: "Malik, don't go around. !Don't go around! Don't go around! Lock your defensive position!"

Obviously, Barry Cross' defense last possession was a bad choice.

If you defend around the front in that area, you will inevitably be hung behind. No wonder Popovich is so unhappy.

Of course, this happens because Mali Cross is an outside defender, and he rarely does the job of defending inside players, so he doesn't have much experience in this area.

The fact that Wang Zhi suddenly went to the basket was unexpected by Popovich and the Spurs coaching staff. After Wang Zhi played several times in a row in the first half, they thought it happened by accident.

Now that it is used again, the Spurs are still somewhat unexpected!

And, the situation is not very tricky!

How to defend against Wang Zhi?

Obviously, double-teaming under the basket is a very unwise choice, because if this area is double-teamed, Wang Zhi can directly pass the ball to the open space outside the three-point line, and the rotation defense of the Spurs will become very difficult difficulty.

If an inside player is put on to defend Wang Zhi and completely overwhelmed by his height and weight, Wang Zhi may not be very powerful at the basket.

But Wang Zhi can attack from outside the three-point line. With Wang Zhi's shooting skills and touch, coupled with his sharp dribbling and changing directions, let him play big from small to big, which is completely rewarding points.

After much deliberation, there is no good way.

Can't get off Mali Cross yet, and Popovich has to let Manu Ginobili rest for a few minutes.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker's pull-up mid-range shot hit the iron, but this time, the aggressive Duncan couldn't grab the offensive rebound again.

The Mavericks' backcourt rebound was successfully protected by the tall and long-armed Bradley!

Just because of a rebound, another wave of cheers erupted at the scene.

It can also be seen that the performance of the Mavericks in rebounding before was simply disastrous.

"Okay, this backcourt rebound, finally grabbed it!"

"That's Sean, 230's Sean, he's 20 centimeters taller than Duncan! If you can't beat this, then don't play.

"Although Sean's technique is very rough, his body is very thin, and his confrontation is poor, but he is still very strong with this kind of straight rebound and frame protection!"

"`~ Hahaha, after LaFrentz was beaten, we seem to have become better!"

In this situation, there is indeed a sense of "you know it's a blessing in disguise".

LaFrentz was beaten down, and the Mavericks' offensive system was completely destroyed.

had to get on brad

profit.

But it is also true that Bradley's playing allows the Mavericks to better protect the backcourt rebounds.

And the problem on the offensive end seems to be solved by Wang Zhi?

Perhaps, it is still too early to say that it has been resolved, just scored one round, and the Mavericks are still behind.

On the Mavericks turn, Nash dribbles upfield and Wang Zhi moves into the same area.

The difference from the last time is that this time Mali Cross was much calmer when defending. He no longer fought desperately for position with Wang Zhi, but was stuck behind Wang Zhi, not at all.

let!

Wang Zhi successfully caught the ball with his back.

The strong side all pulled away, leaving only Nash outside the three-point line.

Seeing that Parker didn't intend to come to double-team, Wang Zhi just released the ball, and the post-up singles began!

Wang Zhi's back attack in this area is not hard. After all, Ross's weight is not much worse than him.

Don't look at those big brothers who don't have much skill on the field, they are very rough and brainless when playing post-up singles.

But in fact, excellent post-up singles are very complicated and require a lot of skills.

First of all, you must fight with your back!

And it is still a strong confrontation.

Otherwise, post-up singles will be meaningless.

Take a look at Kobe Bryant. He doesn’t have a lot of weight and strength compared with most defenders, and he doesn’t have an advantage.

Be proactive!

The meaning of relying on and exerting force is to perceive and change the opponent's center of gravity, so as to find opportunities.

It's a complex game.

But in short, if you want to play like this, you are required to have the ability to dribble the ball steadily under strong confrontation!

The seemingly unremarkable back dribble actually requires a lot of effort to practice.

Some defenders who usually seem to dribble very silky or even fancy, if they have not practiced this kind of strong confrontational dribbling, they will lose the ball with their backs (for money) and their bodies twice.

Secondly, post-up singles also need a variety of finishing abilities!

The forward turn, back turn, and back turn shots are like Jordan and Kobe's back-up shooting system, which must be mastered proficiently.

In addition, you can also master the hook and close-range skills of some inside players.

However, apart from Wang Zhi's strong confrontation and dribbling, Wang Zhi doesn't know any of the post-up finishing methods commonly used in this era.

What kind of post-up jumpers like Kobe and Jordan, Wang Zhi doesn't need a jumper, so why?

He doesn't need hooks and short shots.

So, if this is the case, is Zhuzhi's back still a threat?

The answer is of course yes.

The threat lies in the [basket feint] that Wang Zhi only unlocked and upgraded before the game.

In fact, [basket fake moves] are more of a set of foot fake moves, similar to Olajuwon's big dream steps.

It's just because Wang Zhi's dribbling is better and his shooting threat range is larger, so Wang Zhi's footwork technique can have a wider threat range.

His post can even be initiated at mid-range.

For example, this time, after Wang Zhi fought against Mali Cross twice, he suddenly made a fake footstep, and then turned around and dribbled the ball to pass Mali Cross in an instant.

Clean up.

Turning around, he smacked to the basket with a big stride, Duncan didn't dare to defend again, and could only watch as Wang Zhi made a layup.

"Ding, fake footsteps shake off the opponent's center of gravity and score a layup, fantasy value +2."

100:103

With Wang Zhi scoring 4 points in a row, the difference is only one point!

The cheers at the scene became louder again!

"Yoho, our magical boy Wang Zhi has brought us a surprise again, look at the fantastic footsteps, hahaha!"

"Ah, that's awesome, I'm just a miniature big dream with this dreamy footsteps!"

"Hahaha, this guy Wang Zhi is an insider!".
