Chapter 158 "Princeton"



Chapter 158 "Princeton"

In the arena, all the fans looked closely at the players on both sides who were about to jump the ball. Under their expectation, Dampier finally stiffened, and with the middle finger of his right hand, he moved the basketball in mid-air to the side. teammate!

Under the guidance of Adelman, the Kings have gradually played some gorgeous basketball prototypes. Under the leadership of Divac and Webber, they have gradually seen their progress this season!

The main lineup sent by the Kings is center Verati Divac, power forward Scott Pollard, small forward Chris Williams, shooting guard Joan Barry and point guard Jason "White Chocolate". williams.

The Kings did not replace the injured Webber on the field, but used Pollard to temporarily top the starting position!

Although Webber's ability is very strong, he was affected by injuries before the start of the playoffs, which has to worry the Kings!

The Warriors replaced center Eric Dampier, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Donyell Marshall, shooting guard Vince Carter and point guard Sam Casey. you.

Judging from the player lineups of the two teams, the Warriors' neat starting players are still slightly stronger than the Kings.

The moment Cassel took the ball, he rushed forward very quickly!
Before the game, Wilkenst asked them to try more small-ball attacks at the start of the game. Although Dampier's speed may be slower, with the speed of Carter and others, they are not very worried about the Kings' defense!

Bringing the ball to the frontcourt, Cassel directly handed the ball to Carter outside the three-point line on the right.

Bruce watched the court quietly, he was very puzzled by the personnel adjustments made by the Kings.

Although Weber did have some minor injuries, this match was a life-and-death battle after all, and seeing Weber sitting peacefully on the sidelines, he couldn't help but feel something was wrong!
Carter took the ball and stood at the current position to watch the team's running position. When Nowitzki ran all the way towards him, his speed was much faster than that of Joan Barry. Wizki's cover, all the way to the inside!

Divac watched Carter's movements closely. Standing on the left side of the penalty area, he ran two steps and suddenly blocked Carter's only way!

Carter still rushed to the inside calmly. After one and a half seasons of growth, he became more and more determined in the breakthrough!
Seeing that the two were about to collide, Carter, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly stopped suddenly. When his body jumped high, Divac first glanced at Dampier behind him, and then judging from his own experience, he faltered with his right hand Behind Dampier ran!

Carter, who was jumping in mid-air, saw that Divac was not fooled. Seeing that his body was about to fall, he quickly glanced at Nowitzki who was in a high position, and secretly adjusted his shooting movements. A small throw throws the basketball out!
"Bang, swish!!"

Although Carter, who was jumping in the air, was a little bit reluctant to adjust, but with his super airborne and touch, he rebounded into the basket after the basketball hit the board!

"Wow!!"

The fans cheered loudly, even though this was only the first goal in the opening game, they still cheered endlessly!
Joan Barry, who was defending Carter, shrugged helplessly, and then ran forward!
As the defender of the Kings, Jason Williams' gorgeous style of play has made this team gradually become a very imaginative team, and his style of playing that emphasizes gorgeous passing still makes him an important player in point guards. The character is a little lacking!

Williams dribbled the ball slowly to the frontcourt. After one and a half seasons of growth, he has become a qualified and beautiful player. This season, he can average 12 points and 3 assists. , this is already very surprising for a sophomore rookie!

Coming to the frontcourt, Williams didn't give the ball to Divac who was raised to the high post immediately, but took Cassel along the three-point line and started cruising!

The essence of Princeton's style of play is "human movement, ball movement, and coordination." Human movement refers to moving without the ball, cutting and counter-running, and ball movement refers to continuous passing and sharing of the ball.Among them, the reverse run is the signature of Princeton's style of play.

Although Williams did not follow the tactical requirements at the beginning, when he took the ball to the left of the three-point line, he handed the ball to Pollard who was standing on this side!
Warriors players understand Princeton's style of play very well. When Adelman was the head coach of the Warriors, this tactical system was maintained for some years, and some clues can be seen from Carlesimo.Therefore, they all adopted close defense tactics!

Nowitzki followed closely behind Pollard, with his arms wide open in case he passed the ball to someone else at any time!

On the court, the Kings players kept running. When Joan Barry ran to the top arc of the three-point line, Pollard passed the ball without stopping!
The best tactic against Princeton is to stick to the opposing player. If a player fails to keep up, it may immediately translate into a goal for the Kings!

Carter watched Barry's movements closely, and opened his hands slightly, moving with the opponent's movement!

Seeing that there was no chance to shoot for the time being, the Kings quickly passed the basketball among the players!

When Divac, who was standing in a high position to cover Williams, quickly ran back to the inside, Williams suddenly made a call between the legs of Dampier, who was a little slower, at the moment Kassel was about to arrive. Wonderful shot!
Divac raised his hand and wiped the ball into the basket the moment he received the pass. This is the scary point of the Kings!
"Jason's passing is amazing. If the Kings have been so focused and selfless, the Warriors will be in huge trouble!" Rick Barry looked at Williams and nodded appreciatively, then thought The tactical system of the Kings can't help but worry about the Warriors!

In the subsequent games, the Warriors were very grateful that the Kings could not maintain the intensity and focus at the beginning of the game.

Under the defense of the Warriors players, although Carter and Cassell are a little deficient in defense, they still take the lead with the Kings with their good shooting percentage!

When there were only 3 minutes left in the first quarter, I wondered if the team doctor gave Weber some simple massage and treatment. After resting for most of the quarter, he was finally sent on the field by Adelman!

"Chris' playing will cause a lot of trouble for the Warriors. Although the data of this comprehensive star player has shrunk slightly due to injuries, his ability is still very terrifying!" Rick Barry looked at Webber, who was playing, couldn't help worrying about Nowitzki!

Since the outbreak of this season, Nowitzki has made great progress. Although his scoring is very surprising, his defense is still a little slow!

Bruce glanced at the score of 25:23 on the big screen above the court. Although he was very satisfied with the Warriors temporarily leading the Kings, he couldn't help worrying about this gorgeous power forward when he saw Webber wearing the No. 4 jersey. stand up!

The game started at the referee's whistle when Webb returned to the court!
Williams slowly brought the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Barry who was standing at the top arc of the three-point line, and then ran to the left corner!
As Williams ran, the rest of the Kings players ran according to their established route!

Webber stood outside the three-point line on the left, and Divac, who was standing outside the penalty area, suddenly ran to the high post on the right.

Seeing Divac's action, Chris Williams slowly moved from the right corner to the right outside the three-point line!
Marshall was close to Chris Williams, and when he was about to follow Williams and move to the left along the three-point line, Divac suddenly screened and threw his The figure blocked the moment!

Seeing that Marshall was blocked by Divac, Williams suddenly made an air cut in the opposite direction and quickly ran to the inside!
When Marshall just squeezed Divac to chase Williams, Barry, who was standing at the top arc of the three-point line, handed the ball to Divac who opened his hands!

Seeing that his defense was a bit slow, Nowitzki and Marshall hurriedly double-teamed Divac at the same time!
When Nowitzki was about to block Divac's passing route, Williams, who had already run beyond the free throw line, suddenly jumped up!

"boom!!"

A slam dunk with both hands ended this textbook-like tactic, and Williams excitedly ran to Divac who was still keeping the pass!

"Perfect, really perfect!" Rick Barry said in admiration.

The tactical coordination of the Kings is as perfect as a circle. Barry standing at the top arc, Webber outside the left three-point line, Jason Williams in the left corner, and Diva in the high position on the right Ci and Chris Williams outside the three-point line, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 players instantly pulled the Warriors inside, and finally completed a beautiful alley-oop cooperation!

"Is this Princeton?" Bruce looked at the somewhat depressed Warriors players on the field in surprise, and looked at the picture on the big screen drawing the tactical line for the fans. He suddenly felt the horror of this team when it matured strength!
"drop!!"

Wilkens called a timeout very timely, glanced at the calm Adelman on the other side, and a gleam suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Children, don't be deceived by their gorgeous coats!" Wilkens looked at the players and said slowly, then took out the tactical board, and said: "Princeton's style of play pays great attention to "space, timing, observation, execution" In the four links, what we need to do is to coordinate our defense as much as possible. In the next tactical arrangement, I will set Eric (Dampier) as the origin of defense. You need to compress the space of the Kings and delay their air cuts and counterattack The quality of the run, so, boys, you have to play as a unit!"

The players listened carefully to Wilkens' explanation. Through his detailed arrangements and explanations, they suddenly had a very clear idea and route for Princeton's defense!
 Second more!

  Ask for some tickets!
