Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

Zuo Hei's dream was shattered less than a minute after the start. The Knicks scored 5 points in the first two rounds. Zuo Hei showed a good state on offense and defense. The deeper despair is that the Bobcats seem to lack a response.

method.

As mentioned before, Larry Brown's tactics are very direct, which are interior defense and exterior offense, and defense relies heavily on personal ability, because his most basic tactic is man-to-man defense.

If you don't believe it, you can look at the tactics of all the teams he has coached, and you can hardly see the shadow of zone defense.

The reason why the Pistons were able to defeat the Lakers and win the championship that year was because of their desperate man-to-man defense, coupled with the internal strife of the Lakers, they achieved the most civilian championship in NBA history.

The Bobcats can be brought into the playoffs this season because they strictly abide by the basic man-to-man principles and smart double-team delays.

But there is one most critical problem with this tactic, which is that unlike the Spurs who use overall defense, Larry Brown pays too much attention to individuals. As a result, if his team wants to reach the top, it must have a strong defensive inside man. In fact,

To play on his team, everyone should be able to defend well and that's it. Of course, the inside is especially critical.

This is why Larry Brown has said countless times before that Zuo Li should return to the inside to defend rather than attack, because in his heart, the inside is defensive.

This is also why he didn't use Milicic at all. When he came to the Bobcats, he traded Okafor, the team's No. 1 big man, for Chandler, who was a better rim protector, and traded Richardson, the team's former No. 1 scorer.

In exchange for the "throat-killer" Laga Bell and the human squirming essence Dio from the sun.

The two transactions didn't seem to be equivalent, but he still changed them because his tactics relied heavily on the players' individual defense capabilities and defensive enthusiasm.

In his opinion, it is enough for Wallace to attack alone, while the others defend, and then slow down the tempo to counterattack, leaving the outside core to deal with the problem.

Many people say, no, no, no, it is Larry Brown who is good at coaching inside players. Look at Ben and Uncle Mu who won the best defensive player in his team!

No, no, no, big mistake!

If he is so good at training, why not train Okafor and let him defend? Then it would be difficult to trade wool, and he doesn't like ready-made things.

The most he can do is give these players who are good at defense a chance to display their strengths.

In Zuo Li's view, Larry Brown's tactics have huge shortcomings, which is why he only has one NBA championship, although he is known for being able to lead a team with a winning rate of less than 50% to the playoffs.

He is a famous commander, but this is all because he is strict in running the army, unkind, high-pressure and left-leaning, and emphasizes defense.

Defense wins. This is an unchanging principle on the basketball court. There is no real underdog in the NBA. A team that defends seriously and plays hard can still achieve some achievements.

But this is the end. Without better people, Larry Brown can't do much, and high-pressure training cannot last long, which is why he has to change teams every three years on average.

And now that more and more emphasis is placed on offense, his tactics are outdated to a certain extent, and he is no longer suitable for this era.

So after being sanctioned by Zuoli, he chose to replace Chandler and replace him with Ratliff.

This choice has almost no effect. Do you think Chandler is not serious about defending? He really can't keep up. Ratliff and Chandler have the same style, and they are also slow-moving inside players. Is there any difference?

No!

In the next round, Zuo Li used a pick-and-roll to help interfere with Diaw's shooting. He took the rebound and made a long throw. Chandler followed up and scored again.

The Bobcats, who did not believe in evil, insisted on finding a gap in Zuo Li's place. Ratliff pulled out to pick and roll, and Wallace broke through with the ball, but Zuo Li followed up.

Wallace didn't even have a chance to take action, and the pass was cut off by Chandler. The Knicks quickly formed a counterattack. During the counterattack, the left winger threw away the defense. Ratliff tried his best to chase, but still could only see

Left standing taillight.

Catch the ball, take off, dunk, all in one go!

Bang!

"We can't go on like this." The assistant coach walked up to Larry Brown. Even a dog knows that this situation is going to collapse. If it doesn't change, they will stop playing.

"Timeout!" Larry Brown called a timeout coldly.

"Let's switch defense!"

As soon as Larry Brown's words came out, the assistant coaches were shocked. They could make the stubborn Larry Brown change his tactics. Zuo Li was really worried about him.

Change the defense, Diaw becomes the defender of the left wing, and Ratliff sits on the inside. The two of them are holding back and defending, and they must work hard to limit the scoring of the left wing.

Ratliff and Dio looked at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes... Defending Zuo Li was really not a human thing to do.

However, the key problem for the Bobcats now is not that they cannot score...

He still asked Diaw to cooperate with Wallace, pick and roll when there was an opportunity, and then throw.

Assistant coach: "..." If I hadn't seen you as the head coach, I would have kicked you. What kind of offensive tactic is this?

But there is no way, Larry Brown is a coach who pays attention to defense.

The timeout ended like this, and the Bobcats reorganized their offense, and this time they scored. Wallace faced the defense and made a difficult two-pointer.

After landing, Wallace celebrated very excitedly. Little did he know that the Knicks didn't care at all. He quickly hit the baseline ball and halftime was over in three seconds.

Ratliff, who had just returned to defense, looked at Zuo Li striding forward and stood up straight with his arms raised in an attempt to draw a foul.

However, the Zuo Li European Step was a throw in front of him.

"You're too smart. You don't force it. In fact, it's okay to hit the ball. But you don't take risks. Zuo Li played so well!" Director Zhang applauded.

It’s not over yet, Ratliff will encounter almost the same scene again in the next round...

The Bobcats missed a shot, Zuo Li took off the rebound and went for a fast break. Randolph blocked Diaw, and Diaw couldn't follow. In the blink of an eye, Zuo Li went one-on-two, but no one dared to stop him. Zuo Li started too fast.

, the power is too great!

Just like that, Ratliff had no choice but to pay for a foul. There was no way, the coach arranged not to let Zuo Li play like this, but Zuo Li took these three big steps directly, he didn't want to be dunked!

"If you play Zuo Li like this, you will score another 50 points. You can't defend at all. If you can't attack yourself, you will be caught on the counterattack immediately. If you continue to play like this, the two centers will not be able to last half the game." Yu Jia said.

Halftime?

Ratliff committed three fouls in two minutes, and Zuo Li targeted him. Plus, this was Madison, and Zuo Li had an absolute superstar whistle. If he dared to foul, he would stay and if he dared to blow...

So Zuo Li scored 18 points in the first quarter, played 7 and a half minutes, and went to rest happily.

But the Bobcats didn't wait for a counterattack. They went to the left, Randolph and David Lee surged in the paint, and Curry threw three-pointers from time to time. The Bobcats lost by 18 points in one quarter.

After the second quarter, the Bobcats were almost empty inside. Zuo Li scored 15 points on 10 free throws in the quarter, and had 33 points and 11 rebounds in the half, completely overwhelming the Bobcats inside.

Wallace, who made bold remarks before the game, was no longer awesome, and he was completely autistic on the bench.

…

In the first round of the playoffs with the Bobcats, Zuo Li played brutally. After the game, Zuo Li had 45 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks. He led the team to a 118-88 victory over the Bobcats in the playoffs.

Big score 1-0 lead.
