NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 187: Pistol Elevator, Coach Jiang appears in person!!!

"Defense defend!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

Although there are many fans of LeBron James, this is the home court of the Knicks after all. After the Knicks' turn to defend, the fans at the scene were still very enthusiastic, and the loud defensive calls sounded.

"It was worth it to see such a big battle on Christmas! I want to see overtime!"

College players like Hayward clenched their fists in front of the TV with hungry faces, looking forward to watching five more minutes.

The Knicks' defensive players on the field were Curry, Harden, Turk Drew, David Lee, and Ibaka. The United Arab Emirates were still a little slower than Ibaka, so they didn't send them up, and they were afraid that they would end up with O'Neal on his back.

Body, Ibaka's small movements are still a bit tougher.

The Cavaliers' offensive players are pure starters, Momo, James, Antoine Jamison, Anthony Parker, and O'Neal.

Jamison lobbed to James, and Mouss took the ball without dribbling, protecting the ball and other tactics.

The most favorite strategy among riding fans is here again.

The killer move of ok combination.

Coach Brown also used it.

Emperor Shark Pick and Roll!

O'Neal, who didn't block James much in the game, actively stepped forward to block James this time. With a height of 2.16 meters and a weight of 150 kilograms, he stood at the top of the arc. Harden was blocked as if he had hit a wall.

Deadly.

"Change, change!"

Turk Drew and Harden both shouted in panic!

Here, Ibaka has quick steps and quickly switches to James. He has also seen James' game-winning shot against the Magic. He cannot let James' shot go at the last moment.

"Make up the inside too! Don't let O'Neal go in!"

At this time, Jiang Chao shouted in the audience next to him, compared with throwing from the outside, O'Neal does the most damage on the inside.

You know, if Harden switches defense to O'Neal, the confrontation is not at the same level.

But obviously James doesn't have this idea. He gets excited when he sees the inside. No matter how fast Ibaka is, can he be as fast as a striker like him?

This tactic is actually very simple. It requires James to come to the military to train the Knicks, who are not tall and not too strong inside!

When Jiang Chao and the young coach were paying attention to O'Neal's position to hit Harden, Xiao Mo was still running without the ball and pulled Ibaka who was coming to cover. This small move made Ibaka come up.

Both speed and center of gravity are affected.

This moment completely gave James, the heavy tank striker, a chance to break through to the basket with his best right side. Ibaka's weight was already forward, but he suddenly had to brake backwards, one-third of his body position.

Being stuck, he just ran over Ibaka and hit a layup in three steps!!

It has to be the Overlord Step!

The Cavaliers still relied on James' invincible step at the last moment. As long as they didn't guard against his strong side hand, they could break through in one step!

Because David Lee, the only defender the Knicks can defend, is just over 2 meters tall. He can use his strongest bow to beat the weakest shield, and there is nothing wrong with that.

It’s a muscle fight!

David Lee, Harden, and O'Neal tripped together, but the referee didn't care about the ball.

A sure kill!

93:91

The Cavaliers are ahead!

James showed off his domineering steps in celebration, pressing his hands to both sides and slapping his chest muscles with a bang.

"LeBron, LeBron, James!!!" The DJ's tongue-picking was absolutely amazing.

"Cleveland 23, forever yellow!"

"The Alliance has only one emperor!!"

"Madison Square Garden is always witnessing the miracles of our opponents! A near-win!"

"The Knicks are as good as nobody!"

Jiang Chao and Swifty next to them both sat down in their seats with dull eyes. The joys and sorrows in the world have nothing to do with me.

This sense of immersion is so strong, just watching James crush Ibaka and score, people with a weak heart can't stand it.

Now he finally understood why the bosses who were watching the game were so red-faced sometimes, really too excited or annoyed.

Sure enough, all my previous thoughts were taken for granted. When I looked at the ball, I felt like I wished I could play on the court. I had to block this damn layup even when I took off with all my strength!!

It's true - one new trick can be eaten all over the world!

This James is really brainless, and he doesn’t have any special tricks on the ball. Two teammates are making wedding dresses, and the small one is beating the big one to attack the Knicks inside. There is no way. This is also the foundation of his establishment in the league, and it is a historical level. physical talent!

Even if Duncan is in this position, he may not be able to defend him.

A near triple-double of 31 points, 6 assists and 11 rebounds, this is the level of an All-Star starter!

There is another Cavaliers player with this kind of player, and it is this kind of team that belongs to the championship batch.

After the ball was scored, Curry, Harden and others, who were wearing white and orange basketball uniforms, touched their heads with their hands and looked unwilling.

The timer stops.

But the red light didn’t come on!

It seems there is still time!

Turk Drew is still the most experienced:

"Timeout! Knicks timeout!"

At this time, there was a black man in the stands who was also yelling for timeout. That was former Knicks All-Star guard Marbury. He shouted that there was still time, but he was already drowned by James's saliva.

When the referee signaled Knicks to serve, he directly indicated a timeout.

But at this time, the player couldn't call if he didn't catch the ball. If he caught the ball, time would run out immediately, so Curry was smart enough not to serve.

The young marshal also didn't react. D'Antoni, the most experienced mustache, rushed directly to the technical table:

"Knicks time out!"

drop!

The Knicks request a timeout!

The technical desk checked the time and found that the Knicks still had 0.6 seconds left!

The Cavaliers bench rushed up to welcome James back to the bench like a hero.

The Knicks generals shuffled to the bench with gloomy expressions, feeling as if they were seeing ice and fire.

What can you do in 0.6 seconds?

This can only be done by catching and shooting. Do the Knicks have the people to do this? This basically declares the Knicks’ failure.

Barkley and others are already making concluding remarks: "It's a sure win, it's okay. The Knicks have learned a lot of experience so far."

"Yes, it's an honor to lose. I won't be criticized if I lose this time."

"This kind of six-game losing streak is not bad."

The reporters on the scene are already writing news reports. It’s a pleasure to watch. It’s not a shame for the New York Knicks to lose tonight!

The young marshal calmed down his dazed mood, and was so accurately killed in front of more than 20,000 people. As the head coach, Alexander, in the end, he switched defenses or not. But the decision he made was that he allowed the Knicks to switch defenses infinitely. of.

"Come on, come on, there is still a chance of survival!"

D'Antoni, Messina and other assistant coaches clapped their hands and signaled the players to form a circle. The atmosphere was quite good. It was not like the previous years when they were in a bad mood and lost when they lost against a strong team. They were not so serious.

But now we are all motivated teams. We have a chance before the game is over!

"It's not bad, it's not bad. It has more time than left for Chinese football."

Jiang Chao also thinks it's okay. In 0.6 seconds, he can have a chance to catch the ball and make a complete shot. It is much better than the situation in Chinese football where there is no chance at all.

Here, Sean Marks has ignored the security obstruction and stood next to the players to spend this most difficult 2-minute timeout together.

"I'll go down there."

Jiang Chao couldn't help it anymore, and ignored the security guard's obstruction. Of course, the security guard stopped him symbolically, and rushed down to stand with everyone.

There was no way, the scene was too noisy, and he really wanted to know what tactics the Knicks would use next.

As a boss, just listen if you want!

Standing next to him was Curry with his head wrapped in a towel. Curry played much longer than usual after his first start today, but his breathing was very stable. The quasi-win just now did not have a big impact on him.

This is normal. It had nothing to do with him just now. The ones who felt it the most were Harden, Ibaka, and David Lee. The three of them were obviously breathing more intensely.

Coach Stevens' hand holding the tactical board was shaking a little.

For the first time in his NBA coaching career, the game lasted until the last second, and it was also a Christmas game. The pressure was all on him alone.

The main reason is that after losing this game, we are faced with the fact that we have lost six consecutive games. When I think about it, I don't want to and don't dare to accept it. My mind is completely confused.

They are one goal away from winning first place in the league!

What an exciting game it would be if we won!

He simply drew three tactics. Because it was impossible to dribble at this time, except for the tallest Yi Jianlian, he asked the other four players to take action immediately if they got the ball.

"Me?" Yi Jianlian looked at the young marshal unconfidently.

"It's you, don't say more!" Jiang Chao patted him on the shoulder to signal him not to waste time.

Yi Jianlian shut up immediately, I'll go, the boss is here.

He was sweating the most at this moment. Did the young marshal want him to get up from where he fell? He didn't even wait for David Lee to come up to him to serve the last ball!

"The way to overcome fear is to face it head-on." Jiang Chao knew exactly what the young marshal meant, and it is true that the Arab League is the most useful, as the tallest player can easily serve the ball to the desired position.

"You have to take action even if you are blocked, what if a foul is called!"

The first option is that the UAE directly throws Ibaka to the basket for an alley-oop, but it depends on whether the opponent still uses O'Neal. If it is O'Neal, there is no chance. Varejao still has a possibility. If it is O'Neal, then Okur will be on the court.

Everyone has a 3-point ability.

The second option is for Turk Drew to catch the ball with his back, and then directly shoot James.

The third option is that the pass cannot be passed. The two guards Curry and Harden connect near the logo, catch the ball and directly shoot from a long distance. This is usually no one to defend, but usually it will not go in.

To be honest, Jiang Chao agrees with option three, but obviously Curry's hand is not that strong yet, and Xiao Mo is a bad guy, he really knows how to guard against the logo.

It has to be at least a half-empty opportunity to be reliable!

"If Ibaka or Okur sees O'Neal, you will have no idea to set up a screen for the outside. Block whoever you can, and give them a chance!"

"Teck Drew's priority is first, remember?"

"ok!"

"ok!"

The young coach's arrangement is quite clear. In the final analysis, the ball is given to the player with the most experience and the highest value.

And because there are only 0.6 seconds, if you can choose a 3-point opportunity, it is a 3-point opportunity, there is no difference.

Everyone shouted OK. Curry was a little awkward. It was obvious that he wanted to shoot this shot. He was the fastest, but he could also give it to the boss agent. He was just a little disappointed. He wanted to try it in such a big scene.

Give it a try, even if the responsibility is great.

Harden just listens to the coaching staff's arrangements.

Just when Sean Marks, Messina and others asked these five people to drink water and take a rest.

One person lowered his head and didn't speak or applaud.

That’s Boss Jiang!

He thinks no!

Looking at it like this, it should be executed by high-scorer Turk Drew.

But in fact, this tactic is useless. Shooting in front of James? Crazy, the agent is not the No. 0 agent next door...

He also knows Turk Drew's ability in his heart. He is a passer who can hit difficult balls, but he is not a person with strong ability to kill the ball.

Not to mention that his defender is the extremely aggressive James.

He prefers Curry or Harden to shoot. Both of them are born for big scenes. After seeing many of their key shots, Jiang Supernatural feels that they are more reliable.

And regardless of whether they make it in or not, such a big scene is perfect for training these two future big scene pioneers!

And if he had to choose between these two people, Jiang Chao would rather choose Curry!

The first three-point king in history, when is it not going to be used at this time?

So he didn't care whether he had overstepped his authority or not. He didn't even bother to explain to the coaching staff. He just took the time to step forward and said:

"I think option 3 is okay, but this point is too far away. We need to make a tactical design during the 5 seconds of the serve!"

Hearing the sudden loud shouting, everyone looked over and saw Jiang Chao speaking his thoughts eagerly.

It was the first time that Jiang Chao, who was wearing a suit and had a smile on his face, was so serious. For some reason, everyone suddenly felt confident again.

This confidence actually comes from their being too nervous. As a bystander, Jiang Chao can see more clearly. Although the young marshal's design is clear, it is not an open opportunity.

You must have tactics to run out of space to be more reliable!

The young marshal asked directly: "Boss, do you have any ideas?"

"If you allow it, I will say it." Jiang Chao kept his story short, but naturally he had to consult his head coach for permission.

"No problem, let's listen together!" The young marshal felt like he was grasping at straws, but in fact this is human instinct... Human instinct is to throw away the blame and throw away the pressure. Even great coaches can't avoid human nature.

The two Kuha stood up again.

Sean Marks quickly wanted to stop Jiang Chao, meaning what are you doing? Are you afraid that the pot is not enough...

There are so many pairs of eyes and cannons (cameras) here. If they see you talking about tactics but haven't entered yet, you must not be sprayed to death?

"Boss, please tell me quickly!"

Okur and Tekedru also stood up, and Da Q and others also gathered around to protect Jiang Chao, making it unclear who was talking inside.

The coaching staff naturally gathered together. At this time, after two and a half hours of brainstorming, their minds were short-circuited and they could no longer think of the optimal solution to Plan 3.

They have already seen Coach Jiang's professionalism in the Xia League after he came online. No one would not believe that this talented boss has designed a star-studded, one-person team. They think he is really courageous, 0.6

Come over and struggle to death in seconds, you are really not afraid of taking the blame!

Eddie Curry, Larry Hughes, Tim Thomas and several other veterans huddled in the back and felt that there was no hope for them. They felt that the boss should comfort the players and let everyone not be burdened, instead of thinking about making another move.

.

It's the last moment, isn't it just throwing the ball in the direction of the basket and looking at the sky?

Curry's eyes lit up. Jiang Chao wanted to change his tactics, so he quickly tightened Curry's first-generation sneakers, and the boss personally made moves for him. It didn't work even if he didn't feel nervous.

"Pistol Elevator Tactics!"

Jiang Chao directly clicked on Kuha, and Turk Drew and Ibaka called over and talked about a very awesome off-ball tactic specially created for shooters!

Now he has seen the pistol tactic, but no team has ever used the elevator tactic.

The elevator is a bit slow, and 5 seconds may not be enough, so Jiang Chao chose the combination of pistol and elevator.

"Curry and Harden, you can't stand still and use your speed to run the moment the referee signals to serve!"

"Harden starts from the free throw line at the top of the arc."

"Curry speeds up the circle from the bottom line to the top arc. You watch and pick and roll each other. Whoever has an open space outside the three-point line passes to whom!"

"Okay!" Yi Jianlian nodded heavily.

This tactic means that the defenders pick and roll each other?

Mustache's eyes immediately lit up. Isn't this what he is best at?

"Pistol" is a tactical series, and the origin of this name cannot be verified.

This tactical series is also called "21" because it is a coordination between position 1 and position 2.

This tactic is more used for early offense. The Suns, who mainly focused on running and gunning in the 2004-05 season, carried it forward. Later, as the NBA entered the small ball era, more and more teams used it.

Position 1 dribbles the ball across half court, positions 2, 4, and 5 drop to the top of the arc, and position 3 drops to the bottom corner of the side without the ball.

Position 1 passes the ball to position 2, and then position 2 and position 1 cooperate hand-in-hand, and position 1 holds the ball for a layup.

Launch the attack before the defensive player returns to catch the opponent off guard.

Jiang Chao felt that this was the origin of the "pistol". It was light and easy to use. He could hold a gun in his hand on the battlefield and shoot at any time.

But this is the ball-holding version, and it was later derived. After all, the basketball court is ever-changing, and players need to react differently according to the situation on the court.

After double cover, STS is the pistol tactic derived from the later Maverick Carlisle:

Position 1 does not pass the ball to position 2. Instead, position 1 and position 2 play a pick-and-roll, and position 2 moves outside the three-point line. Position 5 then sets a screen for position 2, and position 2 comes out.

The opportunity to shoot a three-pointer (there is a proper term for this: screen-the-screener, screen for the person who screens, or sts for short).

This STS is a bit like the combination of the pistol and elevator tactics mentioned by Jiang Chao.

What was just an initial possession of the ball turned into a direct pass from the Arab League.

"Tek Drew is still going to plan 2, but if you don't get a chance, just close the door with your back to block the people chasing Curry or Harden!"

Mark Jackson clapped his hands and drew the tactics on the tactical board directly according to Jiang Chao's words.

elevator!

In fact, he had the idea of ​​this tactic at this time.

After the "Splash Brothers" of the later Warriors began to emerge, Mark Jackson, as the team coach, designed and arranged the famous "Elevator Door" tactic for Curry:

Curry went to the penalty area and pretended to cover for his teammates, and then suddenly ran towards the top of the arc. The two teammates blocked the defender at the free throw line, and Curry got enough space to shoot, so that he could maximize his three-pointers.

Project value.

Jiang Chao had the same idea, but the elevator required more than the 5 seconds allowed for the serve, so it could only be done in a small space. The pick-and-roll at the fifth position was not feasible. Turk Drew was a good choice because the agent's

He has the greatest tactical influence on the field, and the Cavaliers must give top priority to guarding him.

"call!"

"Got it!"

Curry and Harden are both athletes with high golf IQ. He immediately understood what Jiang Chao meant, which was that the two of them would run without the ball first, and then they would block the faster one to see who was running faster. If the defense was switched,

Then Turk Drew will also catch someone in the top arc and block another one!

This means that the person receiving the ball must be in front of two Knicks players, not defenders!

Off-the-ball coordination between the three backcourts!

At this time, the person on the outside can get an open 3-point opportunity. Although there may be a bunch of people in front of him, the one in front is his own person, the one who doesn't reach out.

There are only 0.6 seconds, just catch the ball from the top arc and shoot directly.

"It must be 3 points, the space must be widened."

"Definitely, either win or lose!"

Everyone is angry, and during this time, CIC will suffer the most.

The referee here came to call for the timeout, but found that all the Knicks generals suddenly became energetic and shouted, "Come on."

When Jiang Chao explained this tactic, it seemed that he could get an open 3 extension number in 0.6 seconds???

Everyone looked at the handsome boss with admiration, who seemed to be responsible for the appearance of the team.

This idea is too clear.

There is no power to refute!

cool!

After hearing this, the young marshal immediately canceled the first plan and waved his hand:

"Just use this plan, Kuha. You two have to run out, otherwise you will easily confuse the pass and you will hesitate. These five seconds are up to you. The success rate will be the highest, yi, 伱

Just aim for the top arc pass!"

"Either James didn't post the agent, or Kuha ran out and was open without the ball!"

"Okay!" Arab League rubbed his hands, he was even more nervous than when he played against Germany last year!

Passing the ball is more stressful than shooting by yourself!

Jiang Chao glanced at the young coach gratefully. This is a young coach. He does not have the stubbornness of the old coach. However, Jiang Chao really wants to win this time, so he has to overstep his authority and say that as a time traveler, he does not want to see

There was a chance to win, but it wasn't Curry who made the shot! That's such a pity!

As everyone knows destiny, in Jiang Chao's view, as long as Curry completes the shot, it will be Curry's responsibility if it goes in.

Not entering?

Count it on me!
