king of defenders

Chapter 1531 First round, sweep

The playoffs are here.

For the Nets, they have full confidence in defeating the Eagles to advance to the second round, but when the playoffs come they still get serious and take the game seriously.

The attendance rate of the Barclays Center Arena is very high. Although this is only the first round of the playoffs, and the opponent is the Eagles, the eighth in the Eastern Conference, the strength gap between the two sides is obvious. The game may not be very exciting, but there are still many baskets. Nets fans.

Before the game started, the entire Barclays Center Arena was already full of hustle and bustle.

There were tens of thousands of fans present, and their voices merged together. Even if everyone just spoke in a low voice, it was enough to form a terrifying sound wave.

"The Eagles players have arrived."

"shush"

The Eagles players came out of the tunnel, and the fans in the auditorium suddenly booed loudly.

In fact, there are also some Eagles fans in the auditorium. They are wearing the jerseys of their favorite players, holding various signs and slogans in their hands and shouting loudly.

It's just that this is the home court of the Nets, and most of them are fans of the Nets. The voices of the Eagles fans were quickly drowned out by huge boos.

Only boos were heard, echoing in the arena.

After a long while, the boos from the audience gradually quieted down.

At this time, with the provocative words of the DJ on the scene, a group of Nets players came out of the player tunnel one after another, and the auditorium once again became noisy.

"Harrell, Harrell."

"Anthony"

Fans chanted the players' names.

Meng Yun came out last, and the whole arena suddenly boiled, because Meng Yun had the most fans, they were cheering and shouting Meng Yun's name.

"Meng Yun, Meng Yun"

The sound was thunderous and deafening.

It took a while for the sound to quiet down, and players from both sides began to warm up.

This is the first time the Eagles have made the playoffs in recent years. Many players in the team are very young, such as Tre Young, Collins, Reddish and so on.

It was their first time playing in the playoffs, so they were inevitably a little nervous. The Hawks players warmed up silently, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull.

When the warm-up was over, the Hawks returned to the sidelines to surround head coach Lloyd Pierce.

Coach Pierce spread out the tactical board, drew tactics on it, and said to the players under him; "Don't fight with the opponent, we have to give full play to our advantages, run for me, move quickly, move more, Pass the ball fast."

"Trey Young, you have to pay attention to controlling the rhythm and playing faster. Our advantage is flexibility, speed and impact, so we have to play faster. Also, you have to pay attention to avoid Meng Yun and reduce the In individual singles, make more use of teammates' screens and pick-and-rolls."

"Collins, you need to play more flexibly and use your own advantages. Your movement speed, explosive power, flexibility, play to your advantages, and Drummond can't defend you."

The core players of the Eagles are Trey Young and Collins, one on the outside and one on the inside. The Eagles' system is built around them.

So the most important thing is the two of them. Only when the two of them play well can the team play well.

Then Coach Pierce gave a few more instructions, clapped his hands, and raised his voice: "Boys, come on, play hard, come on."

Several Eagles players walked onto the field.

Mu Mengyun and others from the Nets also came to the court.

The Nets still start regularly, with Zhuang Shen and Harrell on the inside, Anthony on the front line, and Meng Yun and Harris on the outside.

The Hawks' starting lineup is Colinte Coppela, John Collins, Andre Hunter, Kevin Huerter, and Trae Young.

Game start.

The Nets got the ball.

After Meng Yun came to the front court, Zhuang Shen stepped forward to pick and roll Meng Yun. Meng Yun took the opportunity to throw off the defender and quickly cut inside. After attracting the defense, he passed the ball to Anthony on the outside. Anthony made a feint after receiving the ball , and then suddenly accelerate the breakthrough, take a step forward and directly pull out the jumper.

"Shh!"

The basketball hits steadily.

The Eagles fought back.

Trey Young came to the frontcourt, and seeing Meng Yun approaching, he couldn't help frowning, gave his teammates a look, and signaled them to come over for the pick-and-roll.

Trey Young is a very spiritual player. His figure is as tall as a forest, and the NBA with muscle sticks is very different, like a bamboo pole or bean sprouts.

But he averaged more than [-] points per game and nearly ten assists.

Many people compare Trey Young with Curry, because he has a three-pointer that resembles Curry, can shoot from any position in the half, and often shoots three-pointers just past the center line, which is similar to Curry's logo three-pointer. The score is almost in the same strain, so it is called "Little Curry".

However, if you analyze it carefully, you can know that Trey Young is not the same as Curry. He is not like Curry except for the logo three-pointer. Trey Young is more like a traditional point guard with three-point ability, while Curry Ri is more of a three-point shooter playing point guard.

If you really want to find a template, Trey Young is actually more like Nash.

In addition to his excellent three-point ability, Trey Young also has a strong breakthrough ability. Although he is thin and suffers from confrontation, he plays very spiritually, has excellent control skills, has a very good sense of rhythm, and is always dexterous Get past the defender.

However, he suffers a disadvantage against Meng Yun, just like other speed guards suffer against Meng Yun, because Meng Yun is too fast, and a nimble guard suffers a disadvantage when encountering Meng Yun, but he is in the same class as Trey Young. A defender like Doncic didn't suffer that much against Meng Yun.

It is very difficult for a speed guard to break through Meng Yun in a one-on-one situation, so Coach Pierce asked Trey Young to avoid Meng Yun as much as possible.

The difference between Trey Young and Curry is that Curry can play off the ball, but Trey Young can't. He is a player who needs to occupy a lot of ball possession and needs to attack with the ball. He would be restricted under certain circumstances, so Coach Pierce asked him to avoid Meng Yun. Since he couldn't play off the ball, and it was difficult to break Meng Yun's defense one-on-one, then avoiding Meng Yun was the only way.

Fortunately, both Collins and Capela are players who are accustomed to playing off the ball and pick-and-roll tactics, and they can form a good cooperation with Trey Young.

Trey Young tried to use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Meng Yun, but he failed. Meng Yun quickly bypassed Capela, and caught up with Trey Young in a blink of an eye, and Zhuang Shen was also in place quickly, keeping a close eye on Capela , Do not give Trey Young a chance to pass the ball back to Capela to attack.

Seeing this, Trey Young had no choice but to pass the ball to the outside and give it to Hunter.
