Injuries in basketball only make me stronger

The Magic's lineup has undergone a major overhaul compared to last season, but the team building idea with Howard as the core has not changed much.

The starting lineup includes Dwight Howard, who is called a Warcraft by Chinese fans and a Happy Beast by Lian Feng, three-point killer Rashard Lewis, Brandon Bass, Carter, and Jamal Nelson.

It’s still a classic one-star lineup.

Before taking the field, Adelman smiled and said to Lian Feng: "As long as you can limit Howard, then others shouldn't have to worry."

Lian Feng smiled slightly.

Indeed, except for Howard, who is relatively strong, it is difficult for anyone else to play a role in the Hornets' current strong personal defensive capabilities.

Apart from Howard, the Magic's biggest star is Vince Carter, who has just been traded. But at this time, Carter is no longer the UFO he was back then. He is a player whose fame outweighs his strength, but his three-pointers still pose a certain threat.

Brandon Bass is a short and stocky power forward who later joined the CBA. His defense is mediocre, but his mid-range shot is not bad. However, Yin Baka defends him during the game. Whether it is movement speed or height and wingspan, Bass can be attacked in all aspects.

Suppression, when he shoots, there will always be Yin Baka's arm blocking him between the basket and his hand, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Lewis, who entered the NBA All-Star last season, is the Magic's most reliable outside shooter, but overall his athletic ability is very limited, and he also suffers from knee injuries. Although the baseline three-pointer is accurate, his defense is poor.

Then... haha, a 208 big shooter can't even defend a chair on the outside. And he can't help defend, attack independently, pass the ball and create free throws. His main role is to help Howard open up the field.

space.

As for the point guard Nelson, he is a short and stocky point guard somewhat similar to Deron Williams. He is good at pick-and-roll tactics, is good at shooting with the ball, and is good at confrontation. However, his movement speed is mediocre.

For this Magic team, the characteristics can basically be summarized: they are very tall, except for Howard, who is very accurate in outside shooting, but they lack independent offensive ability and their movement speed is slow.

In contrast, only Lien Feng and Yin Baka are even more than two meters tall in the Hornets.

Adelman patted Lian Feng on the shoulder at this time: "In this game, I hope we can win the game as we expected."

Lian Feng said confidently: "You can coach!"

There was a long whistle and players from both sides took up their positions.

At this time, TNT TV commentator Smith sighed and said: "Basketball is a sport for giants, and the average height of the Hornets' lineup is too low."

Off the court, Adelman looked at the players on the court and silently told himself: "Times have changed. Basketball has changed from height as king to speed as king. In this game, let us take a look.

Is speed more important, or height is more important?"

Lian Feng stood in the middle line and jumped the ball with Howard. At this time, he was also a little excited. After all, after playing in the NBA for so long, this was the first time he jumped the ball.

Howard looked at the forward in front of him and felt a little funny. He really didn't expect that the Hornets really used this guy to play center.

jump ball!

Howard was still in a daze when the referee suddenly threw the ball into the air. Howard was stunned for a moment. Lian Feng jumped up in front of him without warning, which made him jump. It seemed that Lian Feng didn't even bend down, just

As soon as the knees bent, the person jumped up.

What kind of bullet speed is this!

Lian Feng didn't jump up, it was more like he bounced up.

Although Howard jumped up quickly after being stunned, Lian Feng still seized the opportunity, and the basketball was thrown around like Curry.

Others quickly took their places.

Adelman shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Everyone, run! Take advantage of your speed, boys!"

Sure enough, all the players rushed forward, but the Magic's players were already slow and had to fall into a situation of catching up. They could only catch up with the players they were marking, and they couldn't talk about positioning.

Taking advantage of the Magic's defensive formation not being successfully constructed, Curry came to the top of the arc, Holiday and Danny Green quickly positioned themselves towards the baselines on both sides, further tearing the Magic's defensive formation apart, and then the forwards came over and made a

In the pick-and-roll, Curry took a step, shot directly into the open space, and hit the basketball steadily!

3 to 0.

At this time, Smith and Buckley were having a friendly exchange in the studio.

"The first goal was a three-pointer... The Hornets' offense is really eye-opening. In fact, many people have studied the Hornets' tactics... They seem to be using three-pointers as their main offensive method. In the process

They constantly interspersed attacks such as air cuts, and at the same time gradually narrowed the mid-range attack. This change is very rare in the entire history of the league. But the effect is amazing. This season, their offensive efficiency has already reached the Champions League, and they have to

At this point, the Hornets’ tactical philosophy leads the league..."

"Yes, that's right. Lian Feng has also responded to this. I think it's very reasonable. He believes that the basket and three-pointers are the most efficient offensive methods. The basket is because it can get higher hits.

The three-point shot is because it can score more points with a slightly lower shooting rate, so their offense also focuses on these two methods. It has to be said that it is very smart, some in the league

Teams are starting to follow their lead, like the Golden State Warriors."

"Adelman is such an amazing tactician!"

"Actually you are wrong. This concept was first proposed by Lian Feng himself... Unbelievable, Adelman also said on some public occasions that if Lian Feng retires and becomes a coach, he will be able to achieve the same results as him.

The same brilliant results as a player!"

"This... is incredible!"

"I thought of a guy..."

"who?"

"Bird. That guy also reached his peak as a player, coach and even team manager."

"Speaking of this... Let me talk about another incredible thing. In fact, we have seen that Marc Gasol, Curry, Beverley and Danny Green who have performed well this season can enter the Hornets.

There is a reason for Lian Feng!"

"Okay, all I can do is worship Lian Feng."

At this time, it was the Magic's turn to attack.

Compared to the Hornets' swiftness, the Magic's offense was much slower. Nelson carried the ball steadily across the half court and patiently waited for his teammates to get into position before starting to organize the offense.

However, looking at his teammates' positions, he frowned slightly.

Everyone was very defensive and had no plans.

At this time, Lian Feng was competing with Howard in the low post, and his expression became weird...

Because, Howard seems to be able to jump and jump, but his lower body strength is mediocre and he can't hold him up at all.
