Chapter 149: East Three Card Position Battle (seek support)

The player list registration was completed before the game, and the four newly joined players entered the roster for the game between the Hawks and the Nets.

The two teams are currently ranked third and fourth in the Eastern Conference respectively. The rankings are only one place apart, but the number of wins is three full games apart. In terms of winning percentage, they are not teams of the same level.

However, after seeing the Hawks make such a deal and make a major change in the team, the Nets are more confident in pulling down their opponents.

Although among the players left by the Eagles, only Barnes is in the rotation, major changes in personnel in the middle of the season will definitely have an impact on the team's internal stability, and the Eagles are still a young team.

And Ke Yan also needed a victory in this game to stabilize the morale of the army. Therefore, he made full preparations for this game.

The starting lineups of the two teams remained unchanged. As the basketball thrown by the referee gradually increased, Josh Smith and Jason Collins jumped up. Both of them are insiders with the lowest jump ball success rate in the league. This round

Jumping the ball is also a typical "rookie pecking each other".

"Pa", in the end, Collins' height narrowly beat Smith's bounce. Carter grabbed the basketball and did not pass it to Kidd immediately. Instead, he directly sent the pass. It started immediately, and Jay penetrated into the Eagles' penalty area.

Ferson received the basketball, European-stepped and deflected Diaw, then turned back and dunked.

The Arizona Flyers' ball-handling skills are a bit rough, and their shooting is sometimes inconsistent, but their physical fitness is explosive. When Kidd rushes up and plays, he is a very good offensive wing.

The offense and defense were switched, Paul quickly brought the ball across the half court, and it was Kidd who defended him.

Kidd is also a representative of the "offensive and defensive" point guard in the league. His career steals data is second only to Stockton. And unlike Iverson's gambling steals, Kidd's steals mostly rely on his superb basketball IQ.

The opponent's passing line is used to intercept the ball. In this regard, Paul and Kidd are somewhat similar.

Paul did not force a breakthrough by himself, but quickly handed the ball to Diaw who was on the outside, and then used his speed to insert inside.

Paul's speed is not comparable to that of Kidd, and Diaw's passing is also superb. After receiving the ball at the free throw line, Paul took a step to the left side of the basket, which restrained the defense of Kostic and Kidd to the greatest extent, and blocked the defense of Krstic and Kidd.

The ball returned to the free throw line. Diaw went down to the free throw line and made an easy mid-range shot.

The cooperation of the two passing masters directly turned the Nets' entire defense upside down!

When the Nets attacked, Kidd used Kostic's pick-and-roll breakthrough and the ball was sent to Jefferson on the baseline in time. The latter made a fake move to get rid of Joe Johnson and hit the ball from the mid-range.

Diaw easily picked off the rebound, took a step forward, and sent a long pass. Carter desperately chased back and reached out to destroy the ball out of the baseline.

The Eagles were attacking in a positional battle. Facing Krstic's defense, Diaw rarely dropped to the low post to ask for the ball. He slightly bent his left elbow to resist Krstic, widened the distance between the two, and easily took off with a small hook.

Hit by hand.(4:2)

Jefferson hit two at the start, and the Nets' ball rights returned to Carter's hands.

Krstic pulled to the outside to set up a pick-and-roll for Carter. Posey grabbed the position several times to restrain Carter. Carter tried to break through continuously and was about to succeed. Posey appeared in front of him strangely again, not allowing Carter to speed up.

space.

Carter used his explosive power to move laterally to challenge Posey, suddenly turned around sharply, cleared the space and shot from mid-range, hitting the target! (4:4)

Carter's breakthrough point is different from that of Kobe and Iverson. Kobe and Iverson's dribbling point is very high, and the breakthrough is completed by changing the direction and shaking of the entire body; Carter's dribbling point is very low, although it is easy to protect the ball, but he

His breakthrough relies entirely on his outstanding explosive power, which is also the reason why Carter's knees are easily injured. Just two words, overload!

Diaw made a quick start from the bottom line, and Josh Smith rushed forward at full speed and rushed into the frontcourt. He was blocked by Carter before he stopped and handed the ball to Paul who was following up.

Paul didn't stop when he caught the ball. He made a sharp change of direction to the left, which shifted Kidd's center of gravity. Then he made another emergency stop and changed direction, shaking Kidd away, and broke through directly from the center into the three-second zone, containing Kos.

Tich's defense then handed the ball to Diaw, who returned the ball directly to Paul without stopping.

The ball passed through Diaw's hands, Kostic's rhythm was completely disrupted, and Paul easily made a layup.

In addition to the "double guns in the backcourt", the Eagles also have "double internal and external drivers". Paul and Diaw can always make scoring a simple matter.

Looking back, the Hawks began to change their defensive strategy on the defensive end. In response to Kidd's defense, they clearly adopted the strategy of 'prevent breakthroughs but not shots'.

After Kidd and Krstic started a pick-and-roll, Diaw reached the free throw line and casually began to "fight and retreat", leaving Kidd with a step and a half of space. Kidd dribbled the ball to the free throw line and had no confidence to break into the basket.

I tried hard but couldn't find a breakthrough route. For a while, I stopped the ball at the free throw line...

After observing back and forth for two seconds, Kidd decided to force his shot. However, mid- and long-range shots have always been Kidd's Achilles' heel, otherwise he wouldn't have the reputation of "basically not attacking".

Kidd missed a hit in the mid-range, but Diaw also made a big mistake. He didn't pay attention to his position when grabbing the rebound. Jefferson, who went from the weak side to the basket, got in front of him and jumped in front of him.

, directly completed the deduction. (6:6)

"..." Such an amateurish mistake left Ke Yan speechless.

On the court, Diaw also lowered his head to complete the serve, and then quickly ran to the frontcourt to set up a pick-and-roll for his teammates. Paul's breakthrough ball helped Joe Johnson hit a three-pointer from the right side.

Immediately afterwards, during the Nets' offense, Carter made a passing error. Paul, Josh Smith, and Joe Johnson had an easy three-on-two, and finally Paul succeeded in the mid-range shot. (6:11)

The team started at a disadvantage, and Carter began to take over the Nets' offense.

After dribbling crosswise and shaking his shoulders, Carter pulled himself to a 45-degree angle on the left side and got into a one-on-one stance with Posey!

The ball came down from the cross to his left hand. Carter suddenly started to move, stepped out with his right foot, and cut towards the baseline while wiping his body.

Because he didn't make a sliding gesture, Carter's sudden start made Percy unable to stop him head-on. However, he quickly turned sideways, only half a body behind Carter, and clung to him.

Carter relied on the power of his left foot to continue accelerating, not only throwing away Posey, but also forcefully pushing away Josh Smith, who was assisting in defense...

"Boom!"

After a head-to-head muscle showdown, Carter easily completed a turn over and a back dunk! With his arms hanging from the frame, he looked at the surrounding Eagles players with a look of disdain on the world!

"The NBA doesn't allow such awesome people to exist, absolutely not!" Ke Yan cursed. In past games, most of the guys who showed off in front of the Eagles lost the game!

The Hawks attacked, Paul dribbled the ball past half court, and Kidd immediately pressed forward.

Paul did not get too entangled with Kidd, but passed the ball to Diaw. After passing the ball, Paul did not stay where he was but ran, and Josh Smith also pulled out from the inside.

Suddenly turning around and running back, Kidd immediately pursued him, but his speed was far inferior to Paul's and was blocked by Smith.

Diaw distributed the ball in time, creating a one-on-one opportunity for Paul to beat Richard Jefferson. Paul pulled the ball, turned around and accelerated, widened the angle, and waited until Jefferson's body could keep up with his brain.

, Paul has already taken action.

The ball passed through the net and caused a burst of white waves. (8:13)

During the transition between offense and defense, Carter broke through Posey's defense and sent the ball to Kostic. The latter took a small step and took a shot. Although he missed, it caused a foul on Diaw!

Eastern Europe made two free throws inside to help the team continue to cling to the score (10:13)

In fact, the lineup structures of the Hawks and Nets are really similar! Both sides have the league's top backcourt duo; both have a forward player with strong physical fitness; the main offensive firepower is on the outside; and the center position is "

"Technology Flow" Insider.

The difference is that Kidd and Carter are better stars than Paul and Joe Johnson, and the Hawks' bench is much better.

Especially inside, the inside combination of David Lee and Milicic is no worse than the Nets' starting lineup of Krstic and Jason Collins, or even better. Especially David Lee, who showed himself on the offensive end after coming on the court.

He is very comprehensive. He can hit the mid-range after the pick-and-roll, and he can also use his footsteps to score points. He can even grab offensive rebounds to complete the second offense.

Compared with Antoine Wright, who was selected by the Nets with the 15th overall pick, I don’t know how much better he is!

Relying on the outstanding performance of the substitute players, the Eagles established an 8-point lead and ended the first quarter (31:23)

David Lee performed quite well. Ke Yan continued to play around him, arranging a double point guard combination of Paul and Eddie House to play pick-and-roll with David Lee. Eddie House's outside shooting was just enough to contain the Nets to the greatest extent.

The team's defense. At the small forward position is mosquito shooter Kittles, who is equally accurate.

Frank Lawrence let Carter rest for a while in the first quarter, and then brought the bench to score in the second quarter, plus four substitutes. Compared with the Hawks who relied on more sophisticated tactical design and team strength to score, the Nets could only let Carter score more

After all, House and Kittles are short and thin, and it seems they can't guard Carter at all.

In this regard, Ke Yan's defensive arrangement is very clear. No one is suitable to defend Carter alone, so use a double attack. If one person can't guard it, two people will go up together. The inside line must also pay attention to assisting defense. If Carter distributes the ball to his teammates inside, it should be a foul.

Don’t hesitate!

When his teammates were unable to open up space, Carter's offense continued to encounter double-teams, and several forced shots missed the basket due to interference.

Carter couldn't open up, and no one else could score based on their individual abilities.

As for the Hawks, the configuration of two point guards already has the shooting ability of each player, which means that the team's offense is easy to launch. Eddie House, who plays with Paul, has become a surprise player. He does not need to hold the ball and gives full play to his ability to catch the ball.

With the advantage of more accurate shooting, one flying knife after another kept hitting the Nets!

"It seems that this transaction will not have a big impact on the Eagles. On the contrary, the young players in the team can get more opportunities!" Yang Yi overturned his previous statement that "the Eagles' substitute strength has declined" and further expressed his opinion.

Ke Yan expressed his approval, "Maybe the inside combination of Milicic and David Lee will get more opportunities in the future. This is not a bad thing for young people!"

The substitute lineup led by Carter was still suppressed, and Frank Lawrence had to replace Kidd and Kostic in advance to stabilize the situation.

As soon as he came on the court, Kidd completed a steal, and then guided Carter accurately in the backcourt to assist Carter for a dunk. (48:36)

However, this scene of performance is still too rare in this game! The Eagles are very single on the defensive end, "double-teaming Carter" and leaving Kidd open. Kidd's mid-range and long-range abilities are average, and he cannot grasp the opportunities Carter created for him.

Chance.

If it were Kidd who was more physically fit in the early years, he could hit the basket decisively at this time and disrupt the Hawks' defense; if it was Kidd whose shooting became increasingly stable in the later period, Ke Yan would not dare to let him go so unscrupulously; precisely

This period of transformation for Kidd happened to be taken advantage of by Ke Yan.

House scored 9 points in the second quarter, helping the Eagles open the point difference to 16 points before halftime. (64:48)

Without Mickey Moore, David Lee quickly stepped up and gained the upper hand against the Nets' weak inside line; without Barnes, the dual point guard tactic "researched" by Ke Yan made Eddie House "like a fish in water".

", played more of a role on the court! For a time, there were many "slap in the face" posts on the Internet, all of which were fans apologizing for "questioning the Eagles' transaction."

In the third quarter of the game, the Nets launched a "superstar singles" tactic, using Carter's ability to suppress Posey. Under his "wolf-like" attack, Posey did not last more than half a quarter and got his fourth.

Foul, end of game.

The Eagles, on the other hand, rely more on the strength of the team. The Eagles have a lot of players. Diaw plays precise guidance in the backcourt and delivers shells to his teammates; David Lee plays the pick-and-roll and suppresses the Nets' inside line.

!

Carter played through the third quarter, panting from exhaustion, and completely lost the calmness after dunking. Looking at the game, 88:75, the Eagles still enjoy a double-digit lead, and the odds of winning are not small!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ke Yan once again launched a "blitz" and sent the main lineup to beat the Nets' lineup, replacing Carter and Kidd, and "caught Frank Lawrence off guard."

On the sidelines, the fans shouted "Earl Lightning" to express their affirmation of Ke Yan's adjustment!

In fact, Frank Lawrence guessed that Ke Yan might use the main lineup to solve the game in one go at this time, but he had no choice. The Nets seemed to be a "three-headed monster", but Carter was the only one who scored steadily. Once Carter came off the court, the others

It’s really not easy to keep outputting!

The team needed a significant victory to stabilize the fans' confidence. Therefore, Paul and Joe Johnson did not hold back. The 20-point difference was not yet safe, and the point difference went straight to 30 points!

Only in the last 4 minutes of the game did Ke Yan replace the main players. Except for Christie, all the other new players came on the field. The fans at the scene did not necessarily recognize the new players, but they still gave Ke Yan face and gave them applause.

.

The final score was fixed at 121:100. The Eagles won the spot battle at home, opening the gap with the Nets to 4 games! The team's third place in the Eastern Conference is relatively stable for the time being. (19-10)

What makes Eagles fans even more excited is that Ke Yan has re-established the team's rotation. The departure of Barnes and Mickey Moore will not have a big impact on the team.

The only regret is that none of the three new players performed well, and only Howard scored 2 points in total.

But if you think about it carefully, you can accept it. After all, these three people are all "obtained" by the team in exchange for the draft picks from the Rockets, and they have not yet officially practiced with the whole team.

It doesn't show anything, it's normal.

The future is bright, believe in Ke Xue!
