Chapter 255 Helpless
"Indiana Pacers head coach Larry Brown put both Promise and OJ Mayo on the court at the same time. We all know Promise is a true point guard and OJ Mayo can be a point guard as well. There are two positions at shooting guard, is Coach Larry Brown making such substitution adjustments to use a double point guard tactic?"
When promising to play at the same time as OJ Mayo, the game commentator in the Amway Center, the home stadium of the Orlando Magic, said this.
Coach Larry Brown was standing on the sidelines of the court, and he couldn't help frowning after hearing what the live game commentator said.Regardless of whether coach Larry Brown sent promises at the same time and whether OJ Mayo was trying to use a double point guard tactic, coach Larry Brown did not want his tactical intentions to be "conveyed" to the opposing head coach by the game commentator .
Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, standing on the other side of the court, stared at the promise on the court, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to defend the promise.
On the court, Danny Granger stood on the free throw line and made two free throws. The Indiana Pacers led the Orlando Magic by five points 7:2.Promise bent over, focused on Orlando Magic point guard Jameer Nelson, ready to start the defense.
"If the opponent promises, it will be difficult for Jamil to play his role. It is better to change the tactics earlier..." Coach Stan Van Gundy thought in his heart, "But the offensive power inside is too weak now. The team still can only rely on Jameer Nelson on the offensive end, but maybe they can consider concentrating the ball in the hands of Jason Richardson..."
At this time, Jameer Nelson faced Xu Nuo, carefully controlling the ball, guarding against Xu Nuo suddenly starting to steal the ball in his hand.Jason Richardson used Ryan Anderson's screen to break away from the defense and came to the three-point line to receive the ball, but OJ Mayo quickly blocked Jason Richardson and the basket again soon.Jason Richardson faced OJ Mayo and made continuous crotch dribbles to confuse OJ Mayo, but OJ Mayo still stood unmoved, Jason Richardson Desen had to make a jumper from outside the three-point line.
"Missed!" Xu Nuo said in his heart as he watched the ball tumbling rapidly in the air.
Sure enough, the ball hit the front of the basket and flew out.Xu Nuo immediately jumped up high, holding the backboard in his arms with one hand.
"Is it another quick counterattack?" The game commentator on the scene said loudly.
However, this time, Xu Nuo didn't immediately dribble and launch a fast break. Instead, he raised his head to observe the situation on the court before starting to dribble forward.It’s just that after only two steps of dribbling, he made a long pass and passed the ball to Danny Granger, who quickly hit the basket of the Orlando Magic. After receiving the ball, Danny Granger scored a layup. , The Indiana Pacers continued to expand their lead.
Coach Stan Van Gundy scratched his head and folded his hands over his chest.Clearly, coach Stan Van Gundy still hasn't found a way to successfully limit promises.
In fact, this question has troubled Coach Stan Van Gundy for a long time. Every time he played against the Indiana Pacers, Coach Stan Van Gundy had to think hard about the answer to this question. The answer.
What's more, now coach Stan Van Gundy not only has to find ways to limit promises, but also find ways to improve the team's offensive success rate.Now "Big Baby" Glenn Davis is sitting off the court, and the only stable scoring points he can rely on are Ryan Anderson, Jameer Nelson and Jason Richardson.Facing David West and Roy Hibbert, it is impossible for Ryan Anderson to play as efficiently as at the end of the regular season, and Jameer Nelson's opponent is promise. It seems that only by concentrating the ball In the hands of Jason Richardson.
But coach Stan Van Gundy was thinking that way, and Ryan Anderson hit a long three-pointer on the field after receiving a pass from Jameer Nelson. "Wait a minute, maybe there is no need to concentrate the ball in the hands of Jason Richardson..." Coach Stan Van Gundy immediately overturned his previous decision.
"Let's take another look..." Coach Stan Van Gundy thought to himself.
Compared to the hesitation of the Orlando Magic, the Indiana Pacers appeared to be more targeted in their offense.Xu Nuo knew that as long as he handed the ball to Danny Granger, the opponent would definitely attack frantically, so Xu Nuo chose to hand the ball to the inside center Roy Hibbert.Roy Hibbert posted up Ryan Anderson and made a hook shot immediately after the turn.
Coach Stan Van Gundy looked up, glanced at the scoreboard next to the big screen above the field, and couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the current score of 5:11.Now nearly half of the first quarter has been played, and his team only scored five points. Coach Stan Van Gundy is full of helplessness.Although this game is to start with defense, the team's offensive power is not so bad.
Ryan Anderson seems to have recovered his shooting touch after hitting a long three-pointer from the outside.Near the zero angle on the left side of the basket, Ryan Anderson made a mid-range jumper, but this time it was Jason Richardson, not Jameer Nelson, who passed the ball for Ryan Anderson.Watching his team slowly start to get on track, coach Stan Van Gundy also dispelled the idea of calling a timeout in his mind.
"Maybe our offense will be improved..." Coach Stan Van Gundy thought to himself.
However, coach Stan Van Gundy was wrong. The next game process proved that Ryan Anderson scored five points in a row. It has not been improved, but remains sluggish.Coach Stan Van Gundy eventually called a timeout after Ryan Anderson missed two consecutive field goals, with his team trailing the rival Indiana Pacers by eight with 7:15 to go.
"We can no longer concentrate the ball inside, so that our offensive efficiency will be reduced." Coach Stan Van Gundy said, "From now on, we must concentrate the ball on our shooting guard Jason Richard. Sen's hands."
The forced coach Stan Van Gundy finally made this decision, only to concentrate the ball in the hands of Jason Richardson.
Meanwhile, coach Stan Van Gundy removed Ryan Anderson from the game and replaced him with backup center Daniel Orton.As a result, the Orlando Magic's inside offensive power is almost zero, and the team can only completely rely on the outside on the offensive end.
In fact, after leaving the Charlotte Bobcats, Jason Richardson was no longer considered by the head coach as the team's first scoring point.Prior to this, Jason Richardson was the absolute main force of the Golden State Warriors, and he was also a core player in the Charlotte Bobcats. However, after arriving at the Phoenix Suns, Jason Richardson put the team first The position of the scorer was given up, and Jason Richardson was still only a role player in the Orlando Magic.Now, coach Stan Van Gundy has made him the main attacker of the team, and Jason Richardson is not used to it.
But Jason Richardson, even if he's not used to it, carries the burden of scoring for his team.On the first play back from a timeout, Jameer Nelson handed the ball to Jason Richardson.
"It's time to change the strategy..." Coach Larry Brown watched the game on the court and thought in his heart.
Jason Richardson faced OJ Mayo, sprang into action, and forced a cut toward the Indiana Pacers lane.Almost as soon as Jason Richardson began the drive, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert immediately moved to block the line of Jason Richardson's drive.So, Jason Richardson made an emergency stop, collected the ball, and then threw the ball towards the basket.
"It turned out to be a throw!" Roy Hibbert thought bitterly.
The ball rolled quickly in the air, passed high above Roy Hibbert's head, and entered the net with a "swipe" sound!
Coach Stan Van Gundy saw all of this with a slightly relieved smile on his face.
It was just coach Stan Van Gundy's helpless move to concentrate the ball in the hands of Jason Richardson, but he did not expect to achieve better results. Coach Stan Van Gundy's hanging heart can finally relax a little bit.On the court, the Indiana Pacers missed the offense, and Jason Richardson once again made a long three-pointer from the outside.
At 12:15, the Orlando Magic chased the score to only three points!
"Hey, I didn't expect this kid to explode." OJ Mayo said with some self-mocking.
"We can't let him be too arrogant." Xu Nuo said to OJ Mayo.
"Now that the Orlando Magic are starting to concentrate the ball in the hands of Jason Richardson, we can completely give up the defense of other players and put all our defensive attention on Jason Richardson alone." OJ May "Maybe we can double-team him as well," O said.
Xu Nuo smiled coldly and nodded.
