Chapter 734 Coach Lu Takes Out a Small Lineup
The Raptors lost G1 in the Eastern Conference finals. Although Leonard, who was like Jordan in the previous two rounds of the series, scored 29 points in this game, it is clear that he is more of a tough player on the court and cannot drive the system.
On the contrary, the Beast used its triple-double performance to let everyone understand that a true leader is not just a person who can score, but needs to be adjusted in time according to the opponent's defensive changes.
On June 5, the Eastern Conference Finals G17.
In this game, neither side made changes.
But in terms of game strategy, the Raptors have adjusted.They started Danny Green on fake starts, and VanVleet partnered more with Lowry at two guards.
Their two guards frantically played pick-and-rolls with Xiaojia, bullying Allen's footsteps, while Leonard was fully fired, killing Wiggins frantically.
In this game, the Nets' outside shooting percentage was very different from the previous game, and the flaws of offensive instability were fully exposed.If it weren't for the fact that the defense was still online, the beasts were still unsolvable, and they couldn't make it to the end.
In the end, the Nets lost to the Raptors 94:98 at home, and the series was tied 1:1!
The Nets lost this game, which means they will lose their home court advantage.
When they easily defeated the Raptors in the last game, the outside world said that they had already stepped into the finals with one foot, but after a game, the reputation immediately changed. Many people believed that the Raptors would advance to the finals and the Nets would be defeated. snipe...
Beast doesn't care what the outside world thinks. He's not in a good mood when the team loses, but he won't complain, that's a cowardly act.
In this game, although Beast still scored 35 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, other players in the team did not perform well and could not help the team make another victory.
On May 5, Game 19 of the Eastern Conference Finals will be played at the Air Canada Center Arena, home of the Raptors.
Before the start of the game, in the locker room of the visiting team, Beast said to his teammates: "Don't worry about missing shots, the worst thing is if you don't dare to shoot. If you have a chance, just shoot. If you don't make it, I will grab it back! No one will come to the door for the championship, yes Spell it out, let's do it together, brothers!"
The beast's words made the locker room less depressing, and Tai Lue made chicken soup again, and the effect became even better.
In this game, the Nets have changed!
They won Jarrett Allen, who played the starting center in the first two games, let Jeff Green start, and the beast went directly to the center.
This lineup is no stranger, because when they played against the 76ers, they used this lineup to win consecutive opponents and advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
The Nets' lineup combines athleticism, speed, shooting, switching, defensive flexibility, and there is no problem with protecting the frame and rebounding. It is a very powerful small ball lineup.
The Beast has everything a small-ball center needs and is a top-notch small-ball center.
Tyronn Lue took out his trump card again, which is like Cole took out the dead five.
The Nets' lineup of one big and four small is equivalent to the Warriors' five dead.
No matter how fast Allen is, he can't switch guards like Lowry, but the Beast can.Allen can't space the floor, but the Beast can.Allen is here, the frequency of the beast being pinched increases, it is more difficult to pass the ball to an open teammate, and the difficulty of the opponent's rotation becomes smaller.
This lineup has two first-defense players (Beast, Holiday) and one second-defense player (Boubois). Even Jeff Green and Wiggins are above average defensively. Up front, and both of them are very athletic.
The Nets not only used a small lineup for this game, they also reduced the rotation.In addition to starting 5 players in this game, they replaced Jeremy Lin, Allen, LeVille, and Carroll for a total of 9 rotations.
They didn't use Hollis Jefferson and Ed Davis. The shooting of these two people was too poor and they were easy to be targeted, so they simply discarded them.
The Nets used a small lineup of beasts to play the center, used delays and switching defenses to dismantle the opponent's pick-and-rolls, and limited Leonard's singles through partial flanking.
On the offensive end, the advantage of the beast's small acceleration is too great, and the opponent has to flank. In this way, the outside circle is full of opportunities.
The problem came to the Raptors coach Nurse, whether or not to flank the beast, and how to flank the beast, made him collapse.
The most important thing is that people like the Nets not only know how to shoot, whether Jeff Green misplaced Lowry or Van Jordan, or Wiggins misplaced and suddenly added, the Raptors complained.
With the help of teammates, the Beast played more easily, and the Nets finally defeated the Raptors in the away game and regained their home court advantage.
The big score in the series was rewritten to 2:1, and the pressure returned to the Raptors.
野兽本场比赛火力全开,全场砍下41分20个篮板7次助攻2个抢断3个盖帽,表现炸裂到银河系!
The Nets rewritten the big score of the series to 2:1, and many experts began to give ideas for the lagging Raptors.Obviously, there are two choices before the Raptors, either play a small lineup with the Nets, or continue with a large lineup, and go all the way to the end if you don't believe in evil!
On May 5, the series G21!
In this game, the Raptors have also changed!
They removed the starting center Xiao Jiasao and replaced it with Ibaka, and also played a small lineup.
The Raptors' lineup can also be said to be a "5-out" lineup. Siakam and Ibaka's 3 points are not accurate, but there are anyway.In fact, their previous lineup was also a "5-outside" lineup, but the problem was that Xiaojia's acceleration was too slow, and the opponent's pick-and-roll was accurate, and the beast one-on-one Xiaojia had nothing to do with him.
Although Ibaka's speed is not fast, it is still faster than Xiao Xiao. Of course, he can't defend against the beast, but the team no longer expects single defense to limit the beast. Naturally, they want to pinch.
In this game, the Raptors have done their best in one battle. The flanking rotation is very fast, and the defense has been played to the limit.They put up a large number of double guards. Although Lowry and Van Jordan are only in their early 1 meters, they both have big buttocks and solid existence. It is not easy to overwhelm them with their height.
In this game, everyone entered hand-to-hand combat. A total of 5 people from both sides left the field with full fouls, which can be described as extremely tragic.
In the end, the two sides entered overtime.
In overtime, the Beast stood up. He beat Ibaka consecutively, assisted Wiggins to hit a mid-range jumper, and finally helped the Nets beat the Raptors in overtime!
In the whole game, Beast scored 45 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks. His performance can not only be described as a burst, it is a super invincible burst!
After this game, the big score in the series is already leading the Nets 3:1, and they are only one step away from advancing to the Finals for the second consecutive season.
The Raptors have fired the last bullet in this game, and they have given everything in the game.
