I believe many people were surprised when the G2 final was finished. Why did the Nuggets, which had always attacked and was very sharp at home, only scored 108 points and were unable to show off the joint defense against the Heat?
After the game, there were various analyses. My point was that during the fourth joint defense of the Heat team, I would no longer defend yokiki, and put the focus of defense on the outside line and cut off yokiki’s contact with them, let yokedge score by himself (coach SIBO is exhausted yokedge, admire!). As a result, jokiki wrote down the game in which he scored high but lost in the third playoff game.
Another point of view is that after the Nuggets easily won G1, the defense became slack, giving the Heat team a chance to take advantage of it. They thought that as long as the defense quality was improved, they could win G3.
These two views are not contradictory, because attack and defense are always me in you, and you in me complement each other. Without good defense, no good attack, no good attack, there is a lack of high-quality Defense Foundation.
As far as this broken joint defense is concerned, the knowledge is actually very deep. Now it seems that everyone in the world knows how to break the joint defense and shout to let the big man go to freethrow line to solve the problem. In fact, in NBA, the big man standing freethrow line is only one of the ways to break joint defense, and it is not the first way.
Today, let’s discuss the issue of Nuggets breaking joint defense. Everyone in the world knows how to break joint defense, can’t the nuggets?
Let’s listen to what the Nuggets coach said first. After G2 lost, coach Mike Malone was very angry. He specially selected 17 videos of the game and showed them to all the players on Tuesday morning. Guide Ma said:
“Every video is about discipline, which is a problem with discipline. Some of them do not follow the competition plan, some are bad personal habits, and some should not be fouled when defending. No matter what it is, 17 videos added up, which made us lose 40 points in the second game.
“We can do better, especially in terms of discipline. We should strictly carry out the competition plan and find people who defend ourselves. Most of the time it is related to communication. For a finals game, we have had too many examples. As long as the players lack communication, they will have different ideas and ideas on the same level.
“I only see that everyone lacks communication and execution. The opponent’s joint defense is not only in the fourth section, but we have been dealing with it very well. We should play faster, but they want to play slower. If we can’t prevent it, the advantage is on the hot side, because they can go back to guard 2-2-1 joint defense calmly. We attacked the joint defense too slowly. As a result, most of the time, we were forced to fight until the last moment.
“Many of our players have participated in major competitions and experienced the test of the playoffs, so I don’t think our players are too nervous. They just don’t strictly observe discipline as required.”
When I saw Ma’s guidance speech, I emphasized it in black. This is the first way to break the joint defense-fast.
The martial arts in the world are fast and not broken! The same is true for playing basketball. Once you get up quickly, you can’t stop any kind of defense, and joint defense is no exception.
I found that the other side started to play joint defense, and every player on the court did not need to remind me. I should think of speeding up at the first time. When you change attack and defense quickly and the joint defense has not been set up, then there will be no joint defense. If there is no joint defense, there will be no need to break the joint defense.
Usually, everyone plays basketball in spare time and sets up teams temporarily. They are not familiar with each other. Therefore, joint defense is the most common defense, and the attacking side is not familiar with each other. Breaking joint defense has become a headache. At this time, don’t think about standing freethrow line first, playing amateur games, and rarely encounter “jokich”. The first way is fast: defend against the other side’s shooting, grab the rebound, and someone will quickly pass the ball; If the opponent enters the ball, it will be serve faster, or quickly pass the ball.
The average score of the Nuggets Regular season is only in the middle, but it can be ranked fifth according to 100 rounds, with 117.6 points per game. Good attack and more counterattacks are the characteristics of the Nuggets, let alone Mountain basketball at an altitude of one mile for many years. But in the second game, they only got 108 points, which was to fall into the rhythm of the Heat team.
As coach Ma said, the Heat likes to play slower. In the regular season, they averaged 109.5 points, ranking the bottom of 30 teams. Even if calculated by 100 rounds, they only ranked the bottom sixth. You let him score 111 points, especially 36 points in the fourth quarter, which is the main time for nuggets to lose. It seems that the Nuggets scored 18-5 fast break, but the advantage is mainly reflected in the first half, leading by 15 points. In the third quarter, the ratio of quick break scores between the two teams is 2-2, and the fourth quarter is 0-0.
The Heat defense is very tough. Even in the regular season, which ranks seventh in the east, they can rank second in the league by limiting the opponent’s low score on average. The Heat players are not very talented in attacking, but they are highly disciplined, retreat quickly, and can quickly form a united defense team.
After grabbing the backboard, the Nuggets like to let yokiki take the ball to the front court to reduce the passing link and let him directly start the offensive tactics. But after all, yokedge is a big man, and no matter how fast it is, it is only relative. In the Nuggets, Bruce Brown and Murray are the ones who really have fast attack Consciousness. The fast subconsciousness of Codeville-Pope is also good.
It emphasizes the benefits of “fast” for breaking joint defense. Now, let’s talk about several main ways to break joint defense in principle:
First, fast. If you can’t defend it, you will attack quickly. If you can’t defend it, it will be almost Serve. At least one of the defenders who go online must hurry down in advance.
Second, vote three points. Whether it is through the excellent Center station freethrow line, attracting contraction and then spreading out, or passing out after breaking through the shield, the three-point shot of the two ribs and the two bottom corners must be determined and decisive. Of course, the basic skill of three-pointer is the foundation.
Third, a large range of transfer balls. If the center of gravity of joint defense is transferred to one side, the opportunity will appear on the weak side.
Fourth, empty cut and reverse run. There is a void in the basket and the bottom line. No ball man is inserted quickly. No ball man of the strong and weak sides are transferred to the bottom corner, and the passing should be put in place quickly.
NBA players did not love United defense in the past. The main reason is that the first is that they are restricted by the rules. The second is that they have too strong ability, especially the three points. Joint defense often provides many opportunities for shooting.
If the joint defense effect is not good, there are fewer teams to use, but the heat is one of the few teams that have used the joint defense well, and the Nuggets are one of the teams with the best joint defense effect. Every time they break the joint defense, the Nuggets can get almost 1.3 points, because they have yokedge.
The heat still persists in using joint defense against the nuggets because the two head coaches are so powerful that they have promoted joint defense and broken joint defense to another level to play a game: I will exchange three points for two points for you, and jokiki will get two points, hot fire attack three points, even if everyone enters every time, then the hot fire still presses a head on the score.
The performance of G2 heat and nuggets in the upper and lower half of downtown was in sharp contrast. The three points of the two teams in the first half were good, which were 17 middle 8 and 16 middle 7 respectively, but 9 in the second half heat 18, among the 12 nuggets, 4, the three points of Nuggets have seriously declined from quantity to quality. The main reason for the change is that the heat set yokki one-on-one, instead limiting the outside line, especially in the fourth section, the heat is 5 out of 9, and 3 out of the Nuggets 7, two of them were Murray’s unreasonable three points at the last moment.
Yorkich scored 18 points in the third quarter and 10 points in the fourth quarter. The whole game scored 41 points. Instead, the Nuggets lost.
There is only one jokiki in NBA, so most teams will not adopt the method of big man standing freethrow line, while G2 jokiki stood freethrow line and still lost. In fact, NBA also stands at freethrow line, just using defenders who can pass the ball. Therefore, when the coach arranged to break the joint defense, he would not say “let the big man stand freethrow line”, but “let the people who can pass the ball go to freethrow line”. The one who can pass the ball most in a team is, of course, the guard.
The Celtics used to have a hot fire. It was smart who stood at freethrow line. This time, it was Horford who stood at freethrow line, so it was very ugly to die.
For NBA coaches, freethrow line is the most inefficient way for big men to stand. Even if they enter, they only have two points. If not, the joint defense will not shrink at all. The defender has the ability to kill in this position, and it is a three-pointer to the outside line.
The G2 nuggets made yokeki stand a lot of freethrow line. The heat is to take the initiative not to shrink and limit the three-point ball. The effect is very good. So how can the Nuggets break?
First, improve defense, as Ma’s guidance said, with good defense, there will be a good attack.
Second, fast, speed up on the basis of high-quality defense and reduce the number of joint defense attacks.
Third, avoid simply and roughly giving the ball to yokki, regardless of whether the opponent is in joint defense or not, and play the tactics you have designed by yourself, whether it is the defender holding the ball to block and dismantle, or yokki hands, at the same time, increase the initiative of null tangent.
The Nuggets lack of ruthless people, Manly people and experienced people, and few people are present as leaders to remind teammates. I believe that after Ma directed this video lesson, everyone felt the urgency. Although he was away, G3 nuggets would play very fast and the hope of winning was relatively large. The key was G4.
