Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

What is it like to know that at least two teammates are open, but can't pass the ball? Jennings could only watch helplessly as three strong men from the Hornets forced a turnover and fell to the ground.

In the eyes of the audience, this scene was just a mistake by Jennings. They could not see how exquisite the Hornets' defensive system was.

Even when the Bucks took away the ball for the first time, even the professional commentators and coaches on the sidelines didn't react for a moment.

But as the two parties came and went more frequently, clues gradually emerged.

In the third quarter, the Hornets scored 24 points, while the Bucks only scored 4 points!

The huge point difference made everyone finally start to pay attention to the Hornets' defense.

Today, TNT's special guest is "The Glove" Gary Payton. Watching the Hornets once again win the ball from the Bucks through double-teaming, a light flashed in his eyes, and he showed an expression of sudden realization.

"So that's what it is!"

Seeing this, Smith asked: "Did you see anything, man?"

Gary Payton nodded and said seriously: "To be honest, everyone has felt the offense of this Hornets team, but what I want to say is that perhaps the defense of the Hornets this season is where they are stronger!"

"oh?"

At this time, it was the Bucks' offense again.

Gary Payton began to explain.

"Everyone pay attention to the Hornets' defensive strategy. First...it's perimeter defense. Look at their formation..."

"Beverley pestered the Bucks' point guard. That kid was very involved in defense and was very skilled. He could lock down opponents in one-on-one defense. In the time he played, the same small player

, there is no way to break through his defense and score."

"Looking at the positions of other players, Lian Feng was defending Salmons, their previous offensive leader. Everyone else also performed their duties and defended one-on-one in a reasonable position."

Smith nodded.

"So far, there is actually nothing surprising. The only surprising thing is that Beverley's personal defensive ability is pretty good."

At this time, Jennings, who was entangled by Beverley, could only pass the ball, and the basketball was passed back and forth in the middle, but there was no chance.

Gary Payton said: "You see, the key defensive area of ​​the Hornets is the center. Their people are concentrated in this area, including the center and power forward, the defensive lineman with an amazing area and Danny Green with good help defense awareness.

This makes this area a position that cannot be attacked. But because the defensive area of ​​Lian forward, Danny Green and Yin Baka is large, even though the focus is on the center, the two sides will still not be out of position."

"Whether it's a breakthrough with the ball or a move without the ball, the middle is a place where it's difficult for the Bucks to find opportunities."

Smith nodded: "That's right."

Gary Payton smiled slightly: "Then everyone pays attention to the essence of the Hornets' defense..."

"Because everyone in the Hornets has a strong personal defensive ability, they are not afraid of the opponent's singles. At this time, the Bucks can only create opportunities by initiating tactics and running positions..."

At this time, the basketball was handed over to Salmons on the baseline.

Gary Payton's eyes lit up: "As soon as the Bucks enter this position, which is the baseline position, at least three of the Hornets' center and wing players will quickly step forward to double-team!"

Sure enough, Salmons had no time to launch an attack or pass the ball. Everyone on the Hornets swarmed forward and cut off the retreat.

Smith listened to Gary Payton's analysis and understood the Hornets' defensive strategy.

At this time, Salmons, who was double-teamed, couldn't even find a teammate to respond, so he could only take a hasty shot, and the basketball flew straight away.

Smith shook his head: "But there's one thing I don't quite understand."

"Um."

"Then the defensive strategy of the Hornets does not seem to be too complicated. Why is it so easy to succeed?"

Gary Payton thought for a moment and said: "I know, you want to say, why haven't other teams used this seemingly uncomplicated defensive strategy?"

"Yes……"

"The reason is actually very simple...do you remember when Curry was on the court?"

"Um?"

"When Curry was on the court, their defense was not so oppressive. But Beverley changed every game."

"You're saying Beverley changed the Hornets' defense?"

"Oh, of course not! Beverley's defensive ability is a little better than Curry, but it is very limited. However, the point guard's defense is the key to their defensive system... I would like to call it a defensive initiator."

"Defensive sponsor?"

"Yes. The reason why other teams cannot copy their defensive system is that all five of them have superb defensive abilities... and Lian Feng is even more exaggerated. This season he can defend from one to five."

"The ultimate personal defensive ability allows them to drive their opponents into the corners of the baseline on both sides of their own will. This is inevitable for their opponents. They can't attack in the middle, and there is only such a small area, so they must

You have to pass the ball through the baseline on both sides with one hand... With just one hand, you will fall into the trap of the Hornets."

"To sum up, the strong personal defensive ability of each member of the Hornets, as well as the huge overlapping defensive area of ​​the three forwards, Yin Baka and Danny Green, are the basis of this defensive system, but to really force the opponent into

In my own defensive system, I have to rely on the outside defender."

"Curry still needs to attack, but Beverley is completely defensive, which allows him to complete the last link of the defensive system."

After hearing this, Smith sincerely admired: "It's incredible. But...Beverley's defense seems to be too energy-consuming. He kept running throughout the game. He can't last long."

Gary Payton was silent for a while and nodded. Obviously, he thought so too.

The Bucks also think so.

Jennings, who was about to be overwhelmed by the Hornets' defense, finally understood the meaning of Lian Feng's words.

Occasionally, he seizes the opportunity to pass the ball out during a double team, but most of the time, as soon as the ball enters the baseline, it is very dangerous.

In this game, except for the 6 points he scored at the beginning, he had no achievements.

It's just... Jennings looked at the panting Beverly. The third quarter is coming to an end, and that guy has consumed a lot of energy. I don't believe you can maintain this kind of defense for a long time!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Hornets replaced Holiday to defend him.

Jennings felt a little relieved. The difficult hyena was finally gone. Holiday shouldn't be so disgusting anymore.

At this time, Jennings had completely lost his temper. As soon as he got the ball, he heard Holiday smile and say: "I'll tell you bad news, my defensive ability is better than Beverly."

Zhan Ning Si was startled slightly, and then Holiday came up and started a new round of inhumane torture.
