Chapter 362. Chapter 363. Smooth Attack (Part [-])

In sharp contrast to Mike Brown at this time, it was Liu Rui, the head coach of the Bobcats, who was sitting on the coach's bench talking and laughing with Steve Kerr next to him.

The entire league knows to focus on defending the Bobcats' counterattacks and shots outside the three-point line, so how could Liu Rui not know.

However, if you don't know some things, you will be able to prevent them. Just like everyone knows that Iverson's crossover is swaying left and right, but not everyone can defend Iverson's breakthrough.

Some people can naturally defeat you in 100 ways, but some people can defeat you 100 times with only one method.

As the Cavaliers attacked again, James' targeted defense also greatly hindered the Cavaliers' offensive tactics.

When James can't use his body to easily break through to the basket, the entire Cavaliers' tactical system is at least half messed up.

James' inability to break through to the basket not only means that he can't easily complete the score, but also has no way to drive other teammates to score by breaking through the ball.

This situation is obviously the last thing the Cavaliers want to see, but Mike Brown also has other preparations for this aspect. After all, it is impossible for a team to put all their hopes on one person.

When James is not in good shape, the Cavaliers will give the ball to center Ilgauskas inside for a low-post attack.

Although Ilgauskas is not very strong in strength and moves slowly, he has a good touch, and the most important thing is his excellent height.

You can use your height in the low post to score shots by turning around and hooking.

Ilgauskas is more than ten centimeters taller than Okafor, but the difference in weight between the two is only two kilograms.

From this point, it can be seen how strong Okafor's weight in the paint is.

This is also one of the main reasons why he can use a height of less than [-] meters to complete a good low-post defense in this era of insiders.

Moreover, Okafor's weight is just right in Liu Rui's opinion, so Liu Rui has never allowed him to gain weight again.

After all, this weight can already carry most of the insiders of this era. There is only one O'Neal. There is no need to shorten his career for O'Neal.

And the current weight can not only help Okafor guard the penalty area, but also allow Okafor to maintain his mobility on the court.

Faced with Ilgauskas' possession of the ball, the Bobcats still did not adopt a double-team strategy on the court.

Okafli used his body to push Ilgauskas farther away from the basket as much as possible.

Big Z hit his back twice with the ball and found that there was not much advantage, and then chose a small hook that turned around to complete the shot.

Bang~

Under the interference of Okafor's physical contact, Ilgauskas's hook also hit the basket, and the rebound was tightly protected by David Lee behind him.

David Lee, who protected the backcourt rebound, dragged the ball high with one hand, and looked back to find that Wallace had participated in the Bobcats' counterattack.

David Lee tossed the ball with one hand and flicked the ball directly forward.

Without too much interference, Wallace caught the long pass steadily.

The whole person went straight to the basket, but Larry Hughes judged Wallace's offensive line very well, and stood on the line in advance to make Wallace an offensive foul.

It's a pity that the current Wallace is no longer the reckless guy who just entered the league back then. When he broke through to the inside, he observed in advance that Joe Johnson had fallen about 40 degrees to the right.

Seeing Larry Hughes standing under the blue and waiting for Wallace to take the initiative to hit him, Wallace hurriedly jumped up in the air and transferred the ball to Joe Johnson on the right in a wide range.

After receiving a pass from Wallace, Joe Johnson slightly aimed at the basket and made a decisive shot from outside the three-point line.

sigh~

6:0

The Bobcats made another three-pointer. This goal also made Cavaliers coach Mike Brown feel very dissatisfied, and called a timeout directly to the referee off the court.

During the timeout, he kept mumbling in his mouth. I don't know if he was impatient with the Bobcats' offense or dissatisfied with the players' defense.

On Liu Rui's side, he smiled and high-fived the players off the field one by one.

Especially David Lee, which is one of the reasons why Liu Rui likes David Lee so much.

He has a super high ball quotient on the court, so in the offseason when other players are busy practicing three-pointers, Liu Rui focuses on arranging David Lee to practice high-post support passes and quarterback long passes to protect backboards.

In the past, this task was always carried out by Brezek. After Brezek was traded away, it fell to Okafor and the old star Divac who joined the team.

With the retirement of the old star Divac, Okafor was put on the starting lineup, so in the second team, this task fell on David Lee without any suspense.

When God doesn't give you the physical fitness to dunk from others, he will inevitably open a window for you in other places.

Excellent passing vision, good passing touch, plus the basketball IQ that can read the game, this is the true portrayal of David Lee on the basketball court.

"After the timeout, the Cavaliers will definitely make more markings on our defensive counterattacks. The high probability should be to leave Ilgauskas to grab rebounds, and the others will immediately return to defense after attacking."

"So we think it will be more difficult to play defensive counterattacks, but if you have a chance, you can also choose your own offensive methods on the court."

"After returning from the positional battle, you can increase the off-ball pick-and-roll on the court to create shooting opportunities as much as possible, because in terms of single defense ability, the defensive ability of the players on the Cavaliers is not weak."

"Especially Joe Johnson, Larry Hughes has a very good defensive ability. Although it is not impossible for you to play him one-on-one, we still have to try to avoid this inefficient offensive method."

"The defensive strategy remains the same, and there is nothing to say next, let's play freely on the court, guys."

During the timeout, Liu Rui also took out the tactical board with a smile and arranged for the players to return to the court.

Because Mike Brown has called a timeout, he will definitely make adjustments after the timeout.

However, at this time, the difference between Liu Rui and other head coaches can be revealed. Compared with other head coaches who want to control, Liu Rui hopes that players can play freely on the court.

Neither of the two methods can be said to be right or wrong. It can only be said that they have different ideas and each has its own merits...
