In the first quarter, the Bobcats have various offensive methods.

But to sum it up, it is actually very brainless, just using various pick-and-roll covers, local small cooperation, or even direct low-post back-attacks to find the driver's defense.

If there is a high-level data that only counts the actual counterpoint scores, the veteran driver is definitely the most prominent one.

The veteran driver is also hard to say. In the past, he was always well protected by the Mavericks' team. After all, his head coach is Rick Carlisle, and he is surrounded by outstanding defenders such as Marion, Kidd, and boxing champion.

But in this game, the Bobcat suddenly took out this brainless way of looking for the driver, making it difficult for him to avoid.

When I defend against the position, I will attack directly and change defense? I will change defense on the pick-and-roll to find you!

Shrink into the penalty area? Then I will rush straight to the penalty area. No matter how difficult it is, I will look for you!

As long as the veteran driver is present, he cannot avoid it or avoid it.

Rick Carlisle touched his chin and coached the Mavericks for the first time since he was the Mavericks.

But he also understood that replacing the old driver would be the same as nullifying the Mavericks' attack.

Despite this, he decided to give it a try.

Because of the first quarter, the Bobcats' offense showed an unstoppable momentum. If the Bobcats' rhythm was not slowed down, even if they insisted on attacking, it would be difficult for the Mavericks to support it.

Of course, another reason is that the first veteran driver who was forced to "take offense and defense on his shoulders" also needs some rest time.

...

The Bobcats' brainless playing style in the first quarter attracted a lot of attention, mainly because this style of playing is too subversive of the NBA's existing defensive playing style.

Nowadays, most NBA teams play old-fashioned pseudo-joint defense, that is, when a small person breaks through the outside, the big man from the middle distance to the inside immediately assists in defense and repairs.

Take this game as an example. Once Captain Jack breaks through on the outside, the boxing champion who defends from the penalty area will be the first line of defense, and the veteran driver who stands in the penalty area will be the last line of defense.

The Bobcats in this game were very straightforward, just pick-and-roll, and when they were replaced, they would hit hard. Whether it was Li Ke or Curry, it would be a blow to the point, all relying on speed and personal ability.

As you fight, it really works.

This made many coaches and league superstars who watched the finals have thought.

In Hawaii, Lebang, who was on vacation, said he didn't want to watch the finals, so he turned on the TV.

After watching the first quarter, he hadn't even reacted, and his partner Midi Mims called out: "LeBron, I feel that this style of play is specially designed for you!"

When Lebang heard this, he immediately followed Mims's thoughts for a moment.

Find a big guy in the pick-and-roll, and then use speed and personal ability to make a big guy in the big guy. This style of play is indeed specially designed for him!

Lebang's eyes lit up, but Midi Mims went further:

"This is the difference between coaches. Mike Brown and Larry Brown are all defensive coaches. They will train a lot of offense. Look at Doug Rivers, this is the head coach!"

Cleveland's pot has been flying all over the sky, and it's not bad. Lebang completely ignored this sentence and was full of his mind. What would happen if they also played this military training big man next season?

Miami, Pat Riley, who was preparing for the draft, also noticed the game.

Why did he pay attention? Because he was the one who proposed the concept of future basketball, and the Bobcats were the first team to play very close to future basketball.

He has always been very concerned about the future development of this bobcat.

In this game, the Bobcats showed off a very eye-catching and trendy style of playing, which made him shine.

Then Eric Spoelstra mentioned Wade who left last summer: "If Dwyne doesn't leave, plus Kelly Irving, we can play like this next season."

Riley was silent for a while, as if thinking, and on the TV, the second quarter between Bobcats and the Mavericks began.

The old driver went down and replaced it with Caron Butler, Marion topped the fourth position, plus a mountain in Puerto Rico to replace Kidd, and Terry to replace Desham Stevenson.

After a few substitutions, the Mavericks' offensive focus completely shifted to the outside line. The trio of Karon Butler and Trigabaria can still provide some firepower.

Also changed, the Bobcats' outside line was Xiao Mo, Wesley Matthews and Li Ke, Tucker topped the fourth position, and the center was praised as the top pick.

On the defensive end, the Bobcats saved.

Tucker vs. Caron Butler, Matthews vs. Terry, and the only one who missed a little was Barrea.

But Li Ke against Marion was actually vacant. His assisted defense and supplementary defense were eliminated in the first wave of defense in the second quarter. His assisted defense wiped out a breakthrough from Baria.

With a clang, Baria defeated Li Ke's defense and missed the accurate throwing.

Immediately afterwards, the Bobcats attacked, and although the veteran driver went down, Li Ke still wanted to train military.

The main reason is that Curry and Captain Jack went down to rest. He led the team alone and could not play the Bobcats' off-ball attack, so it would be better to continue military training.

With a pick-and-roll, Li Ke quickly faced the boxing champion's defense change, and then forced the boxing champion and made a strong sprint.

The force squeezed out the boxing champion and the speed dropped the boxing champion. Li Ke rushed to the Mavericks' unguarded penalty area, and with a clang, he dunked.

Seeing this goal, Pat Riley's question came: "Why doesn't the Mavericks delay the return?"

Directly changing defense is to send Li Ke to the big guy who is singles to the inside. For singles of Li Ke's level, he can only use speed to blow his opponent.

Even if this opponent is Tyson Chandler, the top center in the small ball era, he can't stop Li Ke from fully firepowered.

Soon, the Mavericks used their actions to answer Pat Riley's questions.

With the Bobcats' attack, Li Ke continued to pick-and-roll to find the boxing champion, and the Mavericks directly delayed the blocking and return.

The boxing king retreated, Marion wanted to cover it, but Li Ke from the outside pulled out and took a three-pointer...

Swish—!

Miami, Pat Riley understands now.

"Don't think about it, Dwyne can't play this style of play."

"?"

Spole a question mark, and Riley then began to educate his disciples:

"Dwyne does not have a shooting like Sheldon. The key to this style of play is actually not the player's speed and singles, but whether there is a long shot or not..."

Simply put, the defense against pick-and-roll attacks can be directly switched, delayed and returned, or even directly hit the ball holder.

But if the ball holder makes a pick-and-roll shot accurately, then the delayed return of the ball holder will be temporarily released.

If the long shot of the blocker in the pick-and-roll is accurate, then the defensive strategy of hitting the ball holder will give the blocker the chance of the blocker's three-pointer, which will not work.

Let’s look at the Bobcats’ pick-and-roll lineup. Li Ke has a long shot, but the top pick who is the wall for Li Ke has not made a long shot.

However, if the opponent directly attacks the ball holder and directly praises the top scorer, it can also destroy the opponent's defensive formation.

In short, if you want to play this kind of military training attack, the core of holding the ball must be the top single and accurate long shots.

With this kind of screening, there are not many NBAs in the whole process.

After Riley explained this, the first thing Spoo thought of was the Thunder's Little Du.

The rest, including Lebang, Kobe, and Wade, do not meet the requirements of accurate long-range shooting.

Perhaps in some games, Lebang, Kobe, and Wade can make top-level long shots in the league, but cannot output stably, so this style of play cannot become the team's regular style of play.

"So, this style of play seems simple, but it actually requires very high quality."

Riley and Spoon have made a conclusion, but what they don’t know is that in the future, there will be so many players who will match this military training style.

Times are changing, players are improving, and the rules of NBA are also encouraging...

Charlotte, Time Warner Center, and the second quarter game lasted more than three minutes, Rick Carlisle was forced to give a timeout.

There is no way, Li Ke is looking for a misplaced single, even if the Mavericks react, they will exchange it for others.

As long as he can stagger his defense against Marion and face the defense of Caron Butler, Terry and Puerto Rico, Li Ke can still kill randomly.

On the other hand, the Bobcats only put Baria's defense, coupled with Li Ke's assisting defense and the No. 1 pick protector, the Mavericks' offense was completely strangled to death.

In this case, Rick Carlisle's timeout, after hesitation, changed the veteran driver back.

Either the defense is blown up or the offense is locked down. These are two options when Carlisle wants to make a choice at the beginning of the second quarter.

But three minutes later, this option became either the defense was knocked out and the offense was locked, or the defense was knocked out and the offense was struggled.

In this case, there is no suspense about how to choose.

The veteran driver returned, and the Bobcat also took advantage of the situation to change back to Curry. Li Ku took turns to train the veteran driver's playing style and restarted like this.

The veteran driver on the defensive end continued to be exposed, but on the offensive end, he could pose a threat to the basket no matter where he received the ball.

In fact, to a certain extent, veteran drivers can also fight this kind of military training attack.

The problem is that the Bobcats already have the foundation for future basketball. The veteran drivers who faced each other in the second half of the second quarter were either Li Ke or Tucker.

The veteran driver himself said that he is not afraid of defensive players of similar height to him, but he is afraid of those flexible and highly athletic defensive players.

For example, the veteran driver's current teammate Sean Marion.

Li Ke compared to Marion, his wingspan was a little worse, while Tucker compared to Marion, he was nothing worse.

Therefore, the Bobcats' lineup happens to restrain the military training attack.

If you don’t fight for military training, the veteran drivers are a little uncomfortable with Tucker’s defense.

At the end of the first half, the Bobcats led by 11 points 63-52.

What's even more difficult for the Mavericks is that they have no way to attack the Bobcats.
