Chapter 98
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
Arinas and his teammates encouraged each other!
This is the closest time for the Wizards to the Eastern Conference Finals!
They naturally have to try their best!
However, Wang Ke's appearance always makes them feel insecure!
"Gilbert! Antoine! Larry!"
"Come here!"
Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan called the three core players to his side and gave the final instructions!
"The importance of this game is self-evident!"
"I hope you can play more patiently and reasonably!"
"You can score more inside!"
"When you throw from the outside, try to be more confident!"
Eddie Jordan said with a serious expression while holding the tactical board.
Arinas, Antoine Jamison and Larry Hughes all nodded solemnly.
But in their hearts, they were a little confused!
That's right!
But how can you score more inside?
Wang Ke is guarding the inside!
The Wizards' two inside combinations obviously don't have the ability to pull Wang Ke out of the inside!
Brandon Haywood and Jared Jeffries both have no mid-range or long-range shooting ability!
This allows Wang Ke to stay in the inside with peace of mind!
Moreover, the Wizards' offensive feature has always been outside shooting!
Once the hit rate goes up, the Wizards have a great chance of winning the game!
Now let the Wizards throw less outside and score more inside, obviously abandoning the strong point and playing the weak point!
How to play this ball?
Although they know that head coach Eddie Jordan is right, Arenas and others are a little hesitant about how to play!
This is a bit of worry and fear!
The Wizards' lack of playoff experience began to show up!
The Bobcats also have no playoff experience, but the old coach Bernie Bickerstaff has a lot of playoff experience!
At the coaching level, the Bobcats have an advantage!
After a while, the game was about to start, and the players from both sides walked onto the court.
The starting lineups of both teams became complete:
Wizards starters, Brandt Haywood, Jared Jeffries, Jamison, Larry Hughes and Arenas!
Bobcats starters, Wang Ke, Primoz Brezek, Gerald Wallace, Jason Kapono and Brevin Knight!
Wang Ke easily won the jump ball, and Brevin Knight took the ball and crossed the half court!
The tiebreaker officially began!
The Bobcats continued to play tactics!
Primoz Brezek coordinated from the high position!
This time Jared Jeffries pressed very hard, and no longer easily gave Primoz Brezek the opportunity to shoot mid-range shots!
As for the double-teaming of Wang Ke, it was left to other players to do!
This is the defensive changes and choices of the Wizards!
Primoz Brezek seemed to have been tempered in the playoffs, and his passing and assisting ability increased greatly!
Although Jared Jeffries was close to him, Primoz Brezek still sent the ball steadily to Wang Ke with a seemingly random ground pass!
In addition to a certain talent, the assisting inside line also needs opportunities to practice!
Now, Primoz Brezek has a tendency to be fully trained!
Teacher Pu is online!
After Wang Ke received the ball, Jamison quickly double-teamed him!
Wang Ke grabbed the ball with his left hand and raised it high!
Jamison soon found that his double-teaming seemed to be useless!
Wang Ke was too tall!
He would definitely not be able to grab the ball!
As for interfering with Wang Ke's shot, it seemed to be somewhat useful!
This time, Wang Ke chose to pass the ball and quickly passed the ball to Gerald Wallace who was left open on the outside!
Gerald Wallace caught the ball outside the three-point line and threw it, and the shot was very decisive!
"Swish!"
The crisp and pleasant sound of the basketball entering the net sounded!
Inside-Outside!
The Bobcats played a perfect inside-outside match!
3:0!
The Bobcats started very steadily!
Jamison's eyes showed a trace of confusion!
Some don't know how to make a defensive choice!
If Wang Ke was not double-teamed, Wang Ke would definitely have made a very easy dunk!
And if Wang Ke was double-teamed, Wang Ke would not panic at all, just holding the ball with one hand and patiently looking for a passing opportunity!
Other players who are double-teamed often face the risk of losing the ball, but Wang Ke does not have this worry!
Jamison even felt that Wang Ke did not pass the ball just now, but directly made a hook shot, and there was no problem!
In that case, Jamison's double-teaming became a joke!
LooksBeing tall is an advantage!
Damn!
It's outrageous!
If two players around 2.20 meters tall double-team Wang Ke, it would certainly cause great trouble to Wang Ke!
But the problem is that in the entire league, I'm afraid Wang Ke and Yao Ming are the only ones over 2.20 meters tall!
With his height and wingspan advantage, Wang Ke has been invincible in most situations!
In the next round, Wang Ke proved with his strength that Jamison's idea was not wrong!
This time, Wang Ke was double-teamed by Jamison and Brandon Haywood, and he directly made a small hook with his left hand!
"Swish!"
Steady!
Jamison and Brandon Haywood had no way to deal with it!
Imagine a 1.9-meter player playing against a 1.6-meter player on a baseball field!
Why worry about double-teaming? The little guy can't even touch the ball!
At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats led the Wizards by 3 points with 26:23!
It seems that the lead is not big!
But in fact, from the first offensive round of the game, the Bobcats have firmly controlled the situation on the court!
The Wizards deployed more attacks on the inside according to Eddie Jordan's tactics, and the effect of such tactics is average!
This is because Wang Ke did not defend many balls with all his strength in order to avoid foul crises as much as possible!
Compared with letting the Wizards rush into the inside to steal two, it is most important for Wang Ke to control the number of fouls!
In such a tiebreaker, as long as Wang Ke can play the whole game, the Bobcats will not lose!
In the second half of the second quarter, the Wizards' hit rate fluctuated a little!
And the Bobcats' overall hit rate was very high when Wang Ke attracted double-teaming!
The score difference began to widen!
At the end of the half-time game, the Bobcats were already leading the Wizards by 10 points with 52:42!
Now, the Wizards players and fans are a little uneasy!
They are starting to panic!
