Chapter 145
Having commented on many 76ers games, Reggie Miller is very familiar with this weak team on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs. He intuitively feels that since Channing joined, the team has changed a lot.
The previous Philadelphia 76ers team could be said to be lifeless. The defense was okay, but the offensive end was really bad. There was no fast break and no cooperation. The style of play of the last century.
For the current team, with the addition of Channing, Coach Cheeks has more choices in employing people, and will even boldly put the veteran starting center Dalembert on the bench for a long time, using two Famous rookies Smith and Channing partnered inside, and there were fast breaks and counterattacks, and the record has also improved to a certain extent. It can be said that the joining of Channing brought a fresh breath to the team. Maybe the team will continue in the future. Bigger changes, maybe not, but anyway, this team doesn't look so old anymore.
The fast break was contained, and Channing was not in a hurry. He handed over the ball to Miller and ran forward by himself.
The defensive focus of the Mavericks was on Channing, and several pairs of eyes were fixed on Channing at the same time. After Channing handed over the ball, the Mavericks players breathed a sigh of relief.
Miller went through the halftime step by step, organizing the offensive position.
Although Cheeks emphasized that fast breaks should be played as much as possible, everyone understands that as long as the opponent plays a targeted defense, it is still difficult to successfully play fast breaks. After all, the Phoenix Suns' gorgeous 8-second offense is not anyone. can be copied.
First of all, the team must have an excellent point guard who is fast and fast on the ball. Although Miller is also very good, his style and fast break are still out of sync. Miller is the old-school positional guard who runs Can't get up, the ball is too stable, not fast enough;
Secondly, try to get the whole team to run actively and participate in the fast break. Five people run interspersed at the same time, so that the opponent can make mistakes. . , Willie Green and others are active in running, but they are not enough in terms of personnel and cooperation.
The fast break couldn't continue, and he returned to positional warfare. Although Chen Ning ran to the top of the arc to catch the ball with confidence, it was obvious that the other players didn't know how to play.
"I deciphered Josh Howard's tactic of shorting, and I also suppressed the fast break. Hehe, let me see what waves you can make!"
Avery Johnson stroked his beard and smiled. In the second half, Philadelphia's three axes had been cracked one by one, and he returned to the positional battle. Holding Dirk Nowitzki's unsolvable offensive strength, Avery Johnson seemed to see victory Already beckoning to him.
"As for Channing, hehe, keep letting him go!"
Hearing the command of the head coach, Josh Howard, who had been following Channing closely from the frontcourt, suddenly took a big step back, leaving a full two meters of space for Channing outside the three-point line, which was still very close. He put his hands on his hips, full of provocation.
"No, it was released again! What should I do?"
Cheeks frowned and was worried. At the beginning of the third quarter, Channing suffered a big loss in the Mavericks' anti-bursting shots. He scored some points, but after a few rounds, he was resolved by the old-fashioned Avery Johnson. Now the Mavericks are repeating their old tricks, which makes Cheeks worry again.
Let Channing give up the ball like Josh Howard and make off-ball screens for teammates?
This can also be tried, but Cheeks still can’t make up his mind. After all, letting a rookie star he is promoting give up the ball and play off the ball has already shown that Channing cannot cross the shooting gap. Billy King He will definitely seize this loophole and make a big fuss, crazily attacking himself for being incapable of knowing people, and maybe even kicking out both Chen Ning and himself.
But we can't just let Qian Ning keep rushing into the crowd, and go back and forth to the inside for more than a dozen. The success rate is definitely not high. If this continues, the game will be lost.
Moreover, if Channing is open and does not shoot in, anyone who understands the game can see that it is unreasonable to play like this. Coupled with the loss, Billy King will definitely attack himself for favoring players and entraining players in the game. Private goods.
One is the victory or defeat of the game, and the other is personal status. Cheeks is caught in a dilemma.
"Boss, look, Channing has been emptied again. A person with no shooting ability has been controlling the ball. How can we win the game like this? I'm afraid other players will also feel dissatisfied."
Billy King really seized the opportunity to report to his boss Ed Snyder in time. This time, even the boss who didn't understand the game frowned and admitted that Billy King's statement made sense.
"Okay, I'm sorry Channing, I'm very optimistic about your potential, but I can't joke about the outcome of the game."
"Give you another chance, no matter what method you use, if you fail to score in this attack, then you can only give up the ball and return to your blue-collar position!"
Cheeks raised his head suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot, he had already made his own decision, this round, success or failure depends on Channing himself.
"The opening scene of the third quarter reappeared. Channing held the ball and was emptied again. How will he choose to attack?" Barkley looked at the field with interest.
"It's difficult for Channing, but it's the only way to become a superstar." Reggie Miller empathized with Channing's situation at this time, pushing away Jordan and hitting a golden three-pointer. Before, Reggie Miller had been ridiculed and belittled in various ways until he became a blockbuster.
"Channing was let out again, and the opponent's hands on hips is a bit disrespectful. This is James' exclusive defensive posture." Ke Fan was still joking.
Su Qun also took over the topic:
"Indeed, but the NBA is all about strength, and I don't know how Channing will deal with it? It's too difficult."
Before the words were finished, Ke Fan and Su Qun stared at the scene with wide-eyed eyes at the same time.
"what?"
Chan Ning actually made a direct shot this time, and it was outside the three-point line.
Three points!
"He is so decisive!"
"His shooting... dare to shoot like this, he is too ambitious!"
As soon as the ball was shot, Channing turned around smartly, regardless of whether he could score or not, he turned his head and walked towards the backcourt.
Anyway, if you go in, just play a game, if you don't go in, you will be the first to return to defense, no matter what you do, you won't lose.
Josh Howard never expected that Channing would dare to make a shot. The basketball flew across a beautiful arc and flew towards the basket.
