Chapter 741 It's just a playful mentality



Chapter 741 It's just a playful mentality
Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

The king quickly landed in the frontcourt, according to Su Yang's call for a single double formation, and also prepared to run a floppy, but compared with the Cavaliers, there were some changes. The core purpose was to engage the Cavaliers' mentality, and playing the same tactics was more difficult than them.

This operation is not arranged before the game, it is a watch game.

Antetokounmpo takes the ball at the top of the arc, bows down and waits, while Brogdon and Covington stand together on the left side of the team logo, assuming that they will run up under the screen, and Curry and Lopez are on the right waist. Standing in a crowd, there will be a back cover to run down.

Up on one side and down on the other side, the Cavaliers defense can't coordinate the overall situation, let alone communicate in advance, they can only mark each other.

Suddenly, Brogdon made a sudden stop, turned around and ran back, heading straight for the basket area, looking like he was going to set a cross screen for Curry.

Considering Curry's three-point shooting ability and tactical status, the action was almost a conspiracy, and Irving had no choice but to start early.

But Curry also made an emergency stop and retreated, getting rid of Irving in an instant and retreating to the right sideline. Just in time to catch Brogdon and pass the ball immediately.

Brogdon received the ball from the bottom corner on the right, facing Butler who was flying in a hurry, he raised his hand and made a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net hollow.

"terrible…"

Mike Brown sighed, "I am also afraid of these tactics. I attack three false moves in one attack, and insist on passing to the big open when there is a small open. Our players are extremely smart and full of patience. It is hard to imagine the feelings of the Cavaliers at this moment."

"Yeah, there is no routine, how can they defend?"

Su Yang chuckled. The most powerful thing about dynamic offense is that there is no fixed routine. Just now, the Kings' formation was a floppy tactical formation, and the running position was also the same, but in the end they executed the most basic RIP.

Compared with the wide-ranging running of the Cavaliers, which requires the help of mobile cover that the referee did not call a penalty, the King completed the tactics with just a few fake moves, and did not consume too much energy. Compete with the team, pissed off the team.

The offensive and defensive transition in the field, Irving ran the ball across the center line, the top of the arc reached the right wing with a screen, handed the ball to LeBron, and then made a cross screen for Butler who was oncoming from the bottom corner on the right, and Butler took the opportunity to get rid of Brogdon, straight to the top of the arc.

In an instant, LeBron passed the ball early.

But Barrett was not ready, caught the ball in a hurry and failed to secure it, the basketball rolled out of the sideline, and the referee whistled for a violation.

LeBron and Butler showed speechless expressions at the same time.

It was a good tactical move, but it turned out to be a mistake due to communication problems, and there was no tacit understanding at all.

Easy side king attack.

Start with an inside and four outside formation, pass the top of the arc from right to left to make a strong and weak transfer. After Curry passes the ball, he starts from the right at 45 degrees and goes down. , Brogdon chose to bypass directly.

Looks like the tactical run failed.

But Brogdon suddenly stopped at the right elbow, Curry continued to go down, and Covington took the opportunity to get rid of LeBron, started from the right waist, rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the right with the help of Curry's cover, and raised the ball. Catch the pass from Brother Antetokounmpo with one hand and rush to make the shot.

Because Curry and Brogdon set up walls in two directions as screens, LeBron could only chase in a big circle.

Butler and Owen didn't react, they didn't switch defenses, and they didn't get any interference from the three-point shot.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

The Kings went ahead 6 to 5.

During the live broadcast, Van Gundy was full of admiration: "The Kings have practiced their tactics to the point where they don't need special design. Just now, the most basic screen, combined with the most basic cross screen, actually played the effect of elevator door tactics... "

Jackson nodded: "It can only be said that all of them have a good understanding. They don't need to communicate to know each other's intentions. There is also a team boss like Curry who is willing to do the dirty work to set up screens for role players. If it is the first time watching the Kings In the game, just seeing this round just now, you may think that Covington is the boss of the team, and it is difficult for the Cavaliers to respond in time."

During the conversation, the knight counterattacked.

Still running floppy, the referee suddenly blew his whistle and called Curry for a foul by pulling Irving and giving the Cavaliers the right to the sideline.

Su Yang watched and laughed on the spot, thinking that the NBA taught us what a double standard is. Usually Curry is dragged away without the ball, and the referee basically didn’t see it. Lack of fairness.

The Cavaliers quickly set up their formation, the most basic echelon cover.

Kick-off from the right sideline, LeBron catches the ball, and Butler starts from the left corner at the same time, with the help of TT Thompson and Anthony's ladder cover, quickly rushes to the top of the arc, then receives the pass from LeBron, turns around and starts smoothly , Brother Antetokounmpo who made a sudden switch.

Brother Antetokounmpo subconsciously moved to intercept,

The referee's whistle sounded again, whistled to stop the foul.

Antetokounmpo froze on the spot, shrugged and looked at the referee for an explanation, but the referee ignored him and signaled the Cavaliers to attack again.

Su Yang didn't react. He knew that the referee was mostly calling the penalty with a task. The King made two consecutive three-pointers, which was too easy to collapse.

The Cavaliers still stand in an echelon cover formation.

However, TT and Anthony switched places.

The same serve from the right side, and the same left side used the cover to run to the top of the arc. Butler easily got the space, but on the king's side, Da Luo lowered his center of gravity in advance and delayed his step. Opportunities to snap up shots.

Seeing this, Butler hit the ball to TT, and TT encountered Antetokounmpo's defense, and hurriedly divided the left sideline.

Anthony received the ball wide open, facing Antetokounmpo and made a three-pointer, the basketball rebounded with a bang, and the audience cheered.

Unexpectedly, the referee blew his whistle for the third time.

Whistle Lopez for a rebound and a foul!
The king fouled three times in one round!
The audience reacted, boos suddenly burst.

Su Yang turned his head to look at the referee Scott Foster standing next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't be so fierce." You don't need to blow the whistle three times in a row, it will only make the game ugly , Still can't get rid of the evidence of partiality from the bright side.

Regardless of whether Foster responded, he turned to shouting at the king and generals on the field: "Keep calm, stay patient..."

Since there is no way to change it, then use the partial whistle as motivation, and use absolute strength to overwhelm the opponent and even the referee.

The Cavaliers set up their formation again.

This time there was finally no echelon screen, simply using the screen to catch the ball, LeBron turned to the top of the arc, and then found TT Thompson as a screen, misplaced against the big Lopez who switched defenses, but faced the big Lopez and stayed for three points Within the line, there is no strong rush to vote.

LeBron went all the way to the basket, twisted his body to take off and put the basket without catching the ball. He had no skills and relied on his strong body.

7 to 6, the Cavaliers went ahead again.

The two teams switched offense and defense. The Kings made a fast break. Covington caught the ball and rushed across the center line. He stopped and turned around at the right elbow, and gave it to Curry who followed up. Curry raised his hand to shoot and flew back to the defense. Gai's Owen hit the waist at the start, stopped suddenly and hit the board with a high throw.

The basketball hits the basket and rebounds.

Sighs suddenly resounded throughout the arena, but Curry grabbed the rebound, turned around and threw it to Antetokounmpo who stopped at the top of the arc.

Anthony rushed forward in a hurry, but the basketball flew faster and hit the net with a bang, and the Kings took a 9-7 lead.

Three consecutive three-pointers!
The cheers were deafening.

Turn around, the Cavaliers attack, LeBron plays a pick-and-roll on the left wing and hits the ground pass. TT catches the ball and goes down to face Antetokounmpo to shrink the defense. Steadily hit a long two-pointer.

The two teams fought to a tie, between offense and defense, and with 2 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, Su Yang took advantage of the dead ball to make a substitution.

The Cavaliers also made substitutions. Anthony and Barrett came back early to replace LeBron and Korver.

In the live broadcast, Van Gundy said: "Except for free throws, the Kings are better than the Cavaliers in all other statistics, but they are 2 points behind the Cavaliers. I saw Su Yang's eyes. They seem to have a big move next. Difference…"
