Chapter 322 The East Finals Are Over?
"Magic's offense, Vince Carter's outside ball control, or a high pick-and-roll coordination..."
"The Bobcats simply switched one defense after another."
"It's like a replay of more than four minutes before. Although Dwight Howard received the ball, he has to face PJ Tucker's defense."
It was not only PJ Tucker who switched defenses, but also Hua Er and Li Ke.
To sum up, whoever stands closer to the spark will make up for it.
Switch Curry, who is a defensive hole, to the weak side of safety.
This set of defense is simple and efficient. After playing for more than four minutes, excluding the two rounds of singles in the opening spark, and a total of six rounds of offense, the Magic only played two rounds.
In addition to the ball that Tucker missed in time, another ball was also scored by Sparks.
The difference from the first ball is that the second ball, Sparks, scored through the confrontation and the second Hua who pushed the defense.
And that make-up defense was the only time Hua's second made a make-up to the basket.
This means that in the face of Li Ke and Tucker's supplementary defense, there is not much threat when the sparks go down.
Groom Albert was a little surprised. As soon as the Magic took out the pick-and-roll in G3, the sparks were invincible, and the game was misfired.
Of course, the reason for the misfire is also that the Bobcats have made huge adjustments and changes.
It's just that this adjustment and change was not very optimistic about the groom Albert at the beginning.
"Without a center or a power forward, the Bobcats actually used a small lineup of three forwards and two guards to lock down the team with the league's number one center..."
Steve Kerr smiled: "It's nothing surprising, groom."
"Isn't that surprising?"
"Of course, Marv, you have to understand that it is the Bobcats' five small lineups that lock the Magic, but it is Sheldon Lee and PJ Tucker who lock Dwight Howard. They have one thing in common. I wonder if you have noticed?"
"Common ground?"
Perhaps the groom Albert had guessed a rough idea, but he was very cooperative and continued to throw the words to Cole.
"Although they are all forwards, they have strength and confrontation. Against a center like Dwight Howard, they can do it without suffering!"
"This is the key to this set of five small lineups!"
Even in the future, there are only a handful of teams that can use a similar five-small lineup.
To put it simply, in the five small schools, there must be a non-human in terms of strength and confrontation.
The Warriors are Draymond Green, the Cavaliers are LeBron, and the Rockets are Tucker of the Bobcats. Although other teams have made five small attempts, after the attempts, the results are not ideal.
As the founder of Cosmic Brave, Steve Kerr's vision is still very vicious.
Just when the groom Alberts were stunned and surprised, he had already seen through this style of play.
"That is to say, this style of play looks amazing, but it is actually a set of custom tactics for the Bobcats?"
"Yes, since the second round of the playoffs, Doc Rivers has been consciously trying to use this style of play. Obviously, this style of play is the ultimate hole card that the Bobcats have prepared for a long time."
"After losing the G3 battle, I was forced to take it out..."
The hole card is not the hole card, Cole is wrong.
The Bobcats this season actually have no trump cards. They have been doing well until this point in the playoffs, and they are just taking one step at a time.
At this point, they feel that it is necessary to let the five small lineups come out to end this round of the series.
This is the reason why the G4 Bobcats resorted to five small styles of play.
In Chicago, Tom Thibodeau was also reminded by Kerr.
Originally, he also thought that the Bobcats' style of play could be replicated, isn't it just the fifth?Isn't it just three or four defensive players who defend above the line, plus two or three shooters and scorers?
Now, he understands.
The key to this style of play is that a swingman with physical strength against a big center who can resist the opponent, and a swingman with agility and speed is the key to this style of play.
And think about the Bulls he's about to take over --
Derrick Rose, Luol Deng... these two are considered to meet the requirements of the five minors.
The most critical role of Li Ke or Tucker is vacant.
"The simplicity and ignorance of the fifth child can be seen from this game. I want to have what other people have. Isn't it just a Sher... Cough! Isn't it just a PJ Tucker, just find one and you're done."
Sibodu's mind is still very active, and he immediately thought of a perfect candidate.
That's right, he is... Tucker who is fighting on the TV!
Thibodeau rubbed his chin, he had to, in the middle of the season, when the Bobcats changed coaches, he also applied.
Since you want to be the head coach of the Bobcats, you must have a comprehensive understanding of the Bobcats' lineup configuration.
So, he asked a reporter who was familiar with him and knew Bobcats very well to meet and have a chat.
To Tucker, he remembered, the reporter who knew him had said this:
"PJ Tucker? Don't worry about him, he's a relationship, Sheldon's university senior, and he can be regarded as a close friend. Without Sheldon, he's still hanging out in Europe, and he's always been signed once a year, with a basic salary every year, which means that Michael spends more than 80 dollars a year to make Sheldon happy."
Relationship household?The relationship is a hammer!
This physical confrontation, could he be a related household?
However, the point is still the end. PJ Tucker, who is signed once a year and has a basic salary every year, will expire as soon as this year is over.
The Bobcats don't have bird rights yet, isn't this just random grabbing and random signing...
……
Back to the game, with a score of 11 to 4, the Magic fell behind by a large margin at the beginning.
Stan Van Gundy didn't move, it wasn't that he was unresponsive, it was that he had no choice.
In G1, the Magic started off with a bang because they didn't expect to be able to play pick-and-rolls.
In G2, the pick-and-roll was made up, but in the end it still didn't win because Sparks didn't join the pick-and-roll.
In G3, Sparks joined the pick-and-roll, and the game finally won.
In G4, he thought he would be able to take advantage of the victory and chase after him. As a result, the Bobcats suddenly changed to the fifth team, which directly caught him in the circle.
Adjustment?How to adjust?
The pick-and-roll is already the easiest and most effective offensive tactic he can come up with at this stage.
What kind of triangle offense, Princeton... If you don't have any accumulation, you can't play even if you want to.
On the whole, he has been unable to adjust.
For the rest, individual adjustments, Stan Van Gundy also feels that there is little hope.
Emmm, a single adjustment, to put it bluntly, is to give the ball to a certain person and let him lead the whole team.
Look at the current Magic team, can someone stand up and lead the team?
Sparks is capable, but in the face of the Bobcats' tight marking, he can't even fly by himself.
The rest of the little black beans and old Carters are powerless.
Half the game, until the official timeout, the score was 16 to 7, the Magic scored another goal, and a little black bean scored a three-pointer from the outside.
In the words of Steve Kerr: "This is a lucky ball. Of course, if Aaron Brooks can be so lucky with every ball, there is still hope for the magic of this game."
However, the Bobcats' five small defenses will not give Xiao Heidou a chance to be lucky all the time.
Defending this thing is not only a problem of defense in place, but also a problem of oppression.
Even if you are a top shooter who can shoot against the defense, similar to Curry and Clay, you will get lost when you encounter a very oppressive defense.
This is also the reason why Mr. Tony's defense and the defense of the peak Kawaii seem to be more than one gear higher than other perimeter defenders.
The official timeout after half a quarter of the game, even if Stan Van Gundy can't help it, he has to make changes.
And his change is precisely to change the emphasis on the whole before the game, and start to split the whole and emphasize the individual.
This means, it is to play personal ability...
This is a gamble, and Stan Van Gundy knows that if you don't gamble, you will lose, it is better to gamble.
Focusing on personal ability, the Magic will definitely not be able to beat the Bobcats, but what if?
After all, the Magic still has a lot of nerve knives. The starter Xiao Heidou, the substitutes Nelson, JJ Redick, and Ryan Anderson are all good players in the nerve knives.
Not to mention, they also have two former star scorers, Lewis and Carter Sr., what if they become popular again when they get old?
pity……
The game started in the second half of the first quarter. The Bobcats, who used Wuxiao for the first time, were full of energy, constantly changing defenses on the defensive end, and running endlessly.
The Magic were directly defended in a terrible way. At the end of the first quarter, they only scored 15 points.
The Bobcats' offense went smoothly. Li Ke didn't have many singles, but scored 8 points very efficiently.
Curry's state is still very average, 6 of 2 shots and only 5 points.
But the second Hua, this game has gained momentum, scoring 9 points in the first quarter.
Plus Wesley Matthews' 5 points and Lao Du's 3 points from the bench.
In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats scored 30 points in total. With a score of 30 to 15, they doubled in a single quarter and directly took a 15-point lead.
With 15 points in the first quarter, the Magic continued to play and shoot randomly in the second quarter.
In fact, there are still traces of the singles of the small black beans on the periphery and the old Carters.
The sparks at the basket can be said to be broken.
Since you can't score in this pick-and-roll, then don't step on the horse and give me the ball, and I will solve the game!
The actual situation is that he can solve a fart game, and what he can solve can only be Magic itself.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats' five minors were replaced. Tucker and Wesley Matthews were replaced to rest, and Lao Du and Dai Quinn Cook were on top.
Rivers also knows that the team's manpower is not enough to use the five minors all the time.
Therefore, in the middle of the second quarter, the Bobcats still played a regular two-two and three-small lineup for a period of time.
Although it is up, there is no direct confrontation with the Magic.
The reason is that Rivers resorted to hacking tactics.
Sparks' extremely strong pursuit of war gave Shanmao a chance to kill Huo.
Originally, cutting Huo had to wait for the number of fouls to be cut before cutting, but now, the sparks have been playing singles with the ball, and the Bobcats don't have to wait for the number of fouls.
When Huo Hua took the ball and wanted to make a strong move, he made a foul on the spot, and he cut Huo and it was done.
Relying on the intermittent use of Wu Xiao and Cha Huo, at the end of halftime, the Bobcats had a lead of as many as 22 points.
The score of 55 to 33 also announced the complete collapse of the Magic in this game.
In the second half, the Magic continued to struggle as a matter of course. After all, this game can be regarded as a match point battle. If the Bobcats win, they will win the match point.
After the match point, more than half of the Eastern Conference Finals will be over.
More than half of the Eastern Conference finals are over, and he, Stan Van Gundy, is not far from get out of class.
Whether Stan Van Gundy knew or didn't know, it didn't matter much, was Orlando, home of Otis Smith.
Magic general manager Otis Smith has spoken to the team's president of operations, John Gabriel, about offseason operations.
First of all, Otis Smith admitted: "We shouldn't let Sido go. If Sido was there, this series would never have ended like this."
Simply put, Turkoglu, a Turk, is the core of the Magic's organization in the 08-09 season.
With Turkoglu in this series, the Magic can at least make more changes on the offensive end.
John Gabriel's response was also simple: "Then get Sido back!"
Turkoglu back to the Magic?
It's not impossible!
Last summer, the Raptors snatched Turkoglu. The reason was that the Raptors at that time were still thinking about building a lineup around Bosh that could win the next two series in the playoffs.
As a result, this season, the Raptors failed to enter the playoffs after reinforcement.
Perhaps there are more injury factors, but for the Raptors, they must enter a new round of reconstruction after failing this season.
Because Bosh's contract has expired, even if he wants to come back, the Raptors don't want it anymore.
In the past few seasons, it has been proved that building a team around Bosh is not a good choice.
Likewise, Turkoglu, introduced around Bosh, is no longer necessary.
"We also need a top scorer on the perimeter."
In this round of the series against the Bobcats, the effect of a bunch of chaotic scorers on the outside is actually not bad, but at the critical moment, they still lack a scorer who can make the final decision.
"Top outside scorer, this is a bit difficult..."
John Gabriel stroked his chin. "How about Gilbert Arenas?"
"Or ask Danny Ainge..."
The president of operations put forward two very unreliable goals, but Otis Smith's eyes lit up.
"Gilbert? Not a bad choice."
Ten years ago, Arenas first entered the league and was selected by the Warriors. At that time, the Warriors' director of player affairs was Otis Smith.
As for Danny Angie, the stalk of Anji's wonderful plan to secure the world has not yet been released.
Therefore, Otis Smith is still very willing to talk to the Celtics who also need to make changes this summer.
finally--
"Where's Stan? Should I change him?"
"It's changed! We need a new coach to change the current tactical play with Dwight as the core, so that we have a chance to go further."
……
Charlotte, the game that was over at halftime, finally finished four quarters.
Stan Van Gundy, who lost G4 without fighting back, didn't know that he had lost the throne of the Magic head coach before he lost the entire series.
He is still racking his brains and thinking hard, hoping to find a possibility to come back in G5, G6 and G7.
As everyone knows, the commentators, groom Albert and Steve Kerr, have also announced: "It's over. I'm not talking about this game, but the entire Eastern Conference finals. It's over. Congratulations to the Bobcats, they will be the Eastern Conference champions in the 2009-2010 season!"
