Chapter 611 Five Small Lineups

Chapter 611
The home lounge of the new arena is very spacious. Not only is the decoration extremely gorgeous, but also supporting facilities such as TV, massage bed, and dining table are all available. It can be said that a lot of effort has been spent to make the players feel at ease and comfortable. strength.

It's just that the air pressure in the entire room at this time is completely incompatible with the temperament that the league's first luxurious locker room should have.

It's no wonder, using the new arena, leading the new championship ring, united as one, but being beaten by the opponent, if this stumbles in the first game, how embarrassing it would be!
What's more, this will not only make the players doubt the team's new system, but also severely damage the confidence of the entire team. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and this is the meaning of getting a good start.

Li Weisi sat there motionless, seemingly in a daze; Rodman was combing his hair in front of the mirror; Mullin was drinking water; Richmond was wiping his sweat.

It seemed that everyone had their own business, but no one said anything. The usually noisy locker room was silent at this time, which showed that their hearts were not peaceful.

Divac sat aside and shivered. He knew why everyone was so upset because he didn't play well.

Unlike last season when someone praised him for his good performance and no one scolded him for his bad performance, this season he is the starter, and there is no longer any tall man in front of him. Everything has been exposed to the pressure of public opinion. How to comment on yourself.

Warriors' weakest link?The sick man of Eastern Europe?A stumbling block for the Warriors' three-peat?

Divac believes that the words in the newspapers will not sound better than this.

"We played well in the first half!" At this moment, Nelson said suddenly, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing everyone's disbelief, Nelson continued: "I know the situation is not good for us, but it has nothing to do with you. I just want to try a new tactic. So far, the effect can only be considered mediocre. There are too many areas for improvement, to be honest, it is beyond my expectation to be able to lose only such a small score, and I have been worried that I was beaten by the Bulls at halftime!"

Nelson's cold joke made everyone smile, but everyone was still skeptical about Nelson's words, feeling that it was more like Nelson comforting them than the truth.

"Okay, I won't say anything superfluous. In the second half, we need to make adjustments. Vlad, I'm sorry, you can take a rest in the second half."

"No problem, as long as the team can win!" Hearing Nelson's words, Divac's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he was a little bit disappointed after relaxing.

"Very well, we need to be bolder in the second half..."

After hearing Nelson's next plan, the players' faces became even more astonished. They didn't expect that under such circumstances, Nelson's tactics would be more aggressive. Is this possible?

When I came back from the second half and saw the Warriors lineup, there was an uproar.

The Warriors replaced Divac with Lewis, so the tallest players on the field are the three 201cm forwards. Is this going to be a small lineup?

"What is Coach Nelson going to do? Give up the center completely? Give up the inside?" Dick Stockton was also very surprised when he saw this scene, and couldn't help asking the fans.

"It seems that Nelson is planning to give it a go. He wants to use the team's mobility and outside offense to tie the score. However, the risk of such a gamble is too great. Nelson is really brave!" Hubie Brown also lamented Nelson's employing people, and at the same time, there was a hint of disapproval in his words.

It's no wonder that in this day and age, if you want to say which of the five positions on the court is the most important, I'm afraid most people in the circle will think that the center is the most important.

A good center forward can not only be the core of the offense, use his own inside offense to drive the entire team, but also play a greater role in defense. Unlike other defensive champions in other positions, the defense of the center forward is not a point, but an area. Support a team's defensive system, which is why most of the best defensive players are centers.

But the Warriors are fine now, let Rodman play center directly, aren't they afraid to let the Bulls' inside line blow them up?

At the beginning of the second half, the Warriors had the ball.

After the five Warriors came to the front court, they quickly pulled apart. All five stood outside the three-point line, and the entire space was stretched to the extreme.

Among the five Warriors, although Rodman's three-pointer is not good, Cartwright still dare not let it go. However, he is experienced and chooses to stand one meter in front of Rodman. While watching Rodman, he is always paying attention The situation on the field, return to the defense inside.

It's just that his thoughts are good, but his body can't keep up with the speed of the Warriors' offense.

Richmond easily broke through Price's defense and passed the ball to Lewis in the corner before the opponent's help defense arrived.

Lewis, who had just come up, had nothing wrong with his hands. He raised the knife and landed, and hit the corner three-pointer steadily.

It has been almost four years since he joined the Warriors, and his current three-point shooting ability has become stronger and stronger, especially the two bottom corners, and his shooting percentage is as high as 37%. Compared with some of the domestic animals, but placed in the league, it is definitely among the best.

It's just that the Warriors succeeded in attacking, which is not too surprising, because for the Warriors, offense has never been a problem. The question is whether they can defend the Bulls in the future.

When it was the Bulls' turn to attack, Cartwright naturally asked for the ball inside. Looking at Rodman, who was more than ten centimeters shorter than him, he felt sorry for himself if he didn't play.

Seeing that Cartwright asked for the ball, Price directly chose to lob and pass the ball to Cartwright. Jordan on the side didn't even think about asking for the ball.

Although the relationship between Jordan and Cartwright is not good, it would be a waste if the Bulls don't seize such an advantage.

Facing Cartwright, who was taller and longer than himself, Rodman was right. On the contrary, he was very excited, and finally had a chance to express himself.

Cartwright pushed back and tested Rodman's defense. Well, Rodman's strength is very good.

Then Cartwright started to hit Rodman with his back. After two hits, he found that he still couldn't grab the ideal position, but at this time he could no longer continue to fight because the Warriors' help defense had been added.

After switching to a small lineup, the Warriors' defensive flexibility was quite good. Lewis soon came near Cartwright. Now that Cartwright doesn't collect the ball, he is likely to lose control of the ball.

Seeing this situation, Cartwright immediately collected the ball, turned around and shot a jumper, and forced a shot against Rodman's defense.

However, Rodman's interference was very powerful, especially Cartwright, who was strong in the lower body, had a hard time shooting. In the end, the basketball bounced off the basket. Rodman stuck Cartwright while grabbing ahead of Grant. He judged the basketball landing point in advance and accepted the rebound.

The first defense, the Warriors succeeded!
