Chapter 519 Pick and Roll

After completing this first attack, the Heat immediately switched to defensive mode, which is the kind of defense that all the players defend.

Logically speaking, the Han people will not be afraid of the opponent's bombardment tactics without Kobe and Mooning and Nash who are still sitting on the bench. They can suppress them even if they are counterattacks. But Pat Riley still insists that the players immediately turn to defense after the offense. It can be seen that the famous coaches in the NBA attach great importance to any game.

Compared to offense, defense is their biggest problem when facing other teams, including the Han people. There is no way. The Heat are currently such a team with strong offense and weak defense.

Although the Han people's scoring ability has been greatly reduced after both Kobe and Mooning are suspended, don't forget that they still have a group of veterans to support the team. Sometimes veterans can play a decisive role, let alone games like the playoffs.

To despise his opponent, this is definitely not a mistake Pat Riley should make. His apprentice Van Gundy has already experienced it personally, so he will not repeat the same mistake again.

Although the Han people are one of the teams with the strongest offensive firepower in the NBA this season, it is not unreasonable.

Not to mention Mo Ning and Kobe, even the people on the field are very strong.

After seeing the starting roster of the Han people, Pat Riley knew very well that Paul Westfal is going to play positional battles. Pick-and-roll is undoubtedly the most powerful existence in positional battle tactics. Jerry Sloan has led the Jazz to the extreme this season. After the Han people lacked Kobe, who had super scoring ability and Mooning, who had the iron gate of the inside, they would implement this tactic more resolutely, because there were a number of veterans sitting on the bench. These veterans had no experience in strength, but they lacked speed. It is understandable that the veterans could not run, right?

Sure enough, after Mark Jackson dribbled through half the game, he immediately dropped the ball into the penalty area and gave Garnett. The one who was guarding Garnett was Chris Gatlin. He was nicknamed "stimulant", but he kept holding Garnett tightly, just not allowing Garnett to turn around and shoot easily. In fact, the effect was still very obvious. Garnett didn't want to spend too much effort with Chris Gatlin at the beginning, so he directly passed the ball to Dell Curry who had been waiting aside, and then immediately ran over to use it as a wall for Dell Curry as a pick-and-roll.

Dell Curry is also very clear about the head coach's tactical intentions, so he did not rush to shoot after receiving Garnett's pass, because he was following Rex Chapman. Although Rex Chapman is a little older, he still has defensive experience, so Dell Curry can only find opportunities to run open positions to shoot.

But when Dell Curry saw Garnett running over to make pick-and-roll for him, Dell Curry knew that the opportunity had come. Sure enough, Garnett blocked Rex Chapman's defensive route like a wall, allowing Dell Curry to run out of the space and draw the ball and shoot.

It’s so hard to block the pick-and-roll, and the effect is of course very obvious!

2:2

Paul Westfal on the sidelines was quite satisfied with this attack because the effect had been achieved and the result was also good, right?!

In the absence of Kobe and Morning, he could think of three tactics for positional warfare. One is the "pick-and-roll tactics" adopted by Jerry Sloan every season, the second is the "Princeton tactics" with Garnett as the center, and the last is the "one-star shooting tactics" that burns the boat.

It can be said that if the first tactic is used, although the "pick-and-roll tactics" are very common in the NBA, as long as the wall-made people do it well, they still have a chance to win the game. Don't ask why, but if you ask, you'd better ask Jerry Sloan, an expert.

If the second tactic is used, Paul Westfal really doesn't dare to use it, because he faces the famous coach Pat Riley, not the rookie Van Gundy. Besides, in the three games against the Knicks, he used the "Prinston tactic" to the extreme, which also allowed Pat Riley to have three additional videos of this tactic. He can't guarantee that the opponent will be unprepared for this tactic. With the unexpected effect, he decisively gave up this tactic. No, it should not be said to give up, at least it is only used when the situation is backward.

As for the third tactic, Paul Westfal would not dare to use it in advance. This tactic requires a try when the Han people are eliminated. The effect of using it too early will not be obvious.

To sum up, Paul Westfal chose the first "pick-roll tactic" out of safe considerations. The strong "pick-roll tactic" technology is not necessarily a Jazz, right? Maybe it may be a Han Chinese.

In fact, Paul Westfal has been practicing these days to pull out the inside players as walls. Whether it is Garnett, Sam Perkins, or the old Buck Williams, he has to train these people as walls.

It's ridiculous. Now the Han people are only three of them. If they get injured and have too many fouls, then Paul Westfal is really going to catch them. He has to go there and find inside players to fill the gap!

So before this game, Paul Westfal arranged for Garnett and Sam Perkins to come out as a wall to play pick-and-roll for teammates, finding the right opportunity to attack the Heat.

Facing an old world like Pat Riley, Paul Westfal did not dare to neglect at all. He must have spent a lot of effort to make careful arrangements.

But the effect depends on the players' performance on the spot. If the players perform in this game in modest way, then this game will probably be in a mess.

"I have to say that Coach Paul's tactics are still very successful. He gave up the Han people's previous bombardment tactics and fought the pick-and-roll. In the absence of Kobe and Alonzo, this might be a great move."

"Teacher Xu, you're right. I've been with the Han people for longer than you. I'm really familiar with Coach Paul. This is a gentleman-like coach. It's the kind we usually say. It's really a bit difficult for him to give up the bombardment tactics he has practiced for many years. After all, after the lack of Kobe and Alonzo, the Han people have completely lost both in counterattacks and in creating scoring opportunities. Since this is the case, it's better to tighten the fence and cut the stakes to design the tactics simply. Maybe it can even achieve miraculous results?! Coach Paul's tactics were very reasonable in this game!"

Director Zhang also felt a lot at this moment. He also knew that this was obviously Paul Westfal was forced to do nothing. He could only use this tactic to limit the opponent's pressure. He could not send Nash to the stage to shoot and bombard him as soon as he came up. You should know that Sam Perkins and Dell Curry, two veterans who started the bench, have no speed. If the Han people's bombardment is usually based on the Han people's bombardment, then the two of them would have no physical strength after the end of the first half. Therefore, it is important to reasonably allocate the physical strength of the veterans.

Time goes back, and the Heat still has amazing offensive efficiency. Jamal Mashburn hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line against Glen Rice, who is as high as himself, and the Heat widen the score.
