Chapter 111 From now on, I will be the Italian gun!
Nelson's weight is still OK, and his weight of 91kg is not inferior in terms of confrontation. He is shorter, just like Paul, he is 183cm, and he stands with Zhou Mubai, who is 192cm, and is half a head shorter.
Nelson wanted to use the low center of gravity to entangle Zhou Mubai, but unexpectedly, Zhou Mubai changed direction in advance, pressed half of his body and then directly crushed it. The surging force made Nelson stagger several steps and almost stood firm.
Zhou Mubai passed Nelson and rushed to the frontcourt. Salad Lewis quickly let go of Gallinari to defend Zhou Mubai. Zhou Mubai turned his wrist gently and passed the ball casually, giving the ball to Gallinari who was empty.
Gallinari's position was based on the team's tactical arrangement of the three-point line. When the ball was obtained, Gallinari did not dare to be careless and threw it out.
The young man's three-pointer was indeed good. Although Redick was very strong, Garlinari's own height of 208cm can basically be ignored in his pummary defense against Redick, and he made a steadily three-pointer.
Cheers rang out in Madison Garden Square.
This ball is a bit simpler, but it ended up in the end.
Howard was still found to play singles on the Magic. Since leaving Tkoglu, the Magic's tactics have changed a lot.
Tkoglu's strength is that he is the core of the Magic team. When he was in Magic, the magic tactics can be summarized into three simple ones:
The first tactical starting point, Tkoglu - Howard pick-and-roll;
The second tactical starting point, Nelson - Howard pick-and-roll;
The third tactical starting point is Howard's one-on-one challenge.
The entire lineup has accumulated a large number of shooters, such as JJ Rodick, Contney Lee, Pitrus, etc., as well as super inside substitutes like Polish Hammer Gotat.
This set of tactics can be called the one big and four small half-circle tactics.
This year, Tekoglu is gone and Carter is here. Carter is a former superstar and his fame and strength are not inferior to Tekoglu, but after all, there are still some differences.
Carter is more accustomed to being a finisher and a ball holder at critical moments, but this also requires the team to build a system for him and open up space so that he can exert his organizational ability.
This means that Carter must be the tactical core of the Magic, but the core of the Magic is Howard!
This means that it is difficult for Carter to integrate into the Magic team's system. Even if it is integrated, it will take time, so now there are three sets of Magic team's tactics:
The first set of tactics: Nelson - Howard's pick-and-roll system.
The second set of tactics: Howard's singles.
The third set of tactics: Carter singles.
Therefore, Nelson gave the ball to Howard singles in a tactical way.
Jeffries was frowning and raised his elbow to meet Howard's attack. Howard hit the ball with the ball, and then was about to turn around. Zhou Mubai's attack came.
Howard was not in a hurry. He was doing this job - if someone attacked him, he would pass the ball to the shooters outside, which is the so-called semicircle tactic!
Howard passed the ball to Nelson at the three-point line. Nelson wanted to make a three-pointer, but Larry Hughes turned to defend. Nelson shook Larry Hughes' center of gravity and broke through inside. Zhou Mubai had already defended back. Nelson quickly passed it to Carter who had cut in from the outside.
Zhou Mubai took the lead in blocking Carter's route, and Carter broke through sideways, trying to get past Zhou Mubai, Zhou Mubai's steps kept up and fought against Carter's body.
Carter's speed was slowed down. After these passes, the attack time was too little. As a last resort, Carter had to turn back and jump shot.
But there was Zhou Mubai in front and Jeffries on the side. Carter was a little reluctant to take action, and the basketball bounced on the basket.
Gallinari and Harrington were about to protect the rebound, but suddenly a pair of giant hands rushed out of the basket, grabbed the basketball from the sky, and dunked it into the basket.
Howard, Warcraft!
The Knicks really defended this ball well, rotated and forced the Magic to break through, and then compressed the space to force Carter to take a high difficulty, almost breaking the law in twenty-four seconds.
But the Knicks do not have the ability to limit Howard at the moment.
4:3.
"Serve quickly!" Zhou Mubai reminded Jeffries who was a little stunned. Jeffries woke up as if he was dreaming and quickly picked up the ball and sent it to Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai passed by quickly to the frontcourt like a speeding speed.
The Knicks' current tactics are actually relatively simple. In simple terms, it is the so-called one-star quad-shooting tactic. Friends who have watched the mosaic competition can probably imagine that it looks like that.
Zhou Mubai waved, and Jeffries quickly went up to the top of the arc pick-and-roll. Nelson did not snatch it, but directly held Jeffries and let Zhou Mubai go.
Jeffries pushed Nelson into it, leaving only Howard and Zhou Mubai on the top of the arc.
Howard is not an ordinary center, he is a Warcraft.
He is one of the few centers who are not afraid of misplaced. His speed is not inferior to that of average small forward. With his bounce and height, he can completely control the opponent's point guard.
In fact, few point guards want to find Howard's misalignment, because this is likely not a misalignment, and may even be given warmth.
Zhou Mubai doesn't care.
Others are afraid of Howard, but he is not afraid. No matter how fast the center is, their height and weight are far superior to ordinary people, which makes it difficult for them to control their bodies. Inertia is difficult to control even with Howard's physical fitness.
When you fight small and big, you will be a rhythm and you will be able to control the body.
Zhou Mubai didn't use any tricks. He hesitated and hovered the ball and broke through to the right.
Howard was indeed very fast, only half a position behind. If Zhou Mubai insisted on crossing, it would be fine, but considering Howard's blocking ability, he would probably be looking for hats in the past.
Zhou Mubai stopped urgently, and Howard wanted to stop, but his strong inertia still made him continue to take a step back.
Zhou Mubai changed his body and yearned for a breakthrough on the other side. Howard deserves to be known as a monster. Even so, he still followed him. Zhou Mubai changed his direction again, and Howard was completely thrown away!
Lewis made up, and Gallinari at the bottom corner was emptied again!
Zhou Mubai swung the ball casually, and the ball passed through several people and went straight to Gallinari's hands.
Garinari pulled out a three-pointer, and the orange basketball spun quickly, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then plunged into the basket.
"Swish!"
The sound was wonderful enough, and then the cheers burst out from Madison Garden Square became even more wonderful.
"You will be an Italian cannon from now on!" Zhou Mubai pointed at Gallinari and smiled.
Italian cannon?
Gallinari was a little confused, but he was also happy very quickly - that's right, I'm an Italian, and three-pointers are as accurate as cannons. What's wrong with calling Italian cannons? What a good nickname. From now on, I'll be an Italian cannon!
