Connecting the Twin Towers, Shocking the Scene
Iverson was a dual-energy guard, but he was more inclined to be a shooting guard and mainly attacked with the ball.
When he and Billups were on the field at the same time, Iverson would be the main player. He would play Yao and Iverson's pick-and-rolls more often, or he would directly pull away and let Iverson play solo.
After Iverson left the field, Billups became the field manager. He was the starting point of the offense with the ball and led the offense.
It could be said that Billups played with tactics, while Iverson played with individual ability!
After replacing Iverson and bringing on Crawford, the tactics of the 76ers changed.
After the Mavericks completed an attack, Billups came to the front field with the ball. He raised his left hand and put up two fingers.
The No. 2 tactic of the 76ers!
Seeing Billups's gesture, Stoudemire was brought up to the high position. Just as the Mavericks thought that the 76ers would play a pick-and-roll between Billups and Stoudemire, the ball was passed to Yao, who was blocking out in the paint.
The moment the ball passed to Big Yao, Stoudemire immediately shook off his two defenders, Nowitzki and Nash, and strode into the paint. He pointed at the basket and shouted,"" Yao, Yao, Yao!"
"Catch it!"
Big Yao, who got the ball in the low post, did not choose to force Shawn Bradley. Instead, he threw the ball toward the basket.
Big Yao's hand was very soft. Although his passing ability was not as good as a master like Chris Paul, he still had a good passing skill. He threw the ball just right. Stoudemire jumped up and grabbed the ball with one hand, and his arm was fiercely rounded!!!!
Boom!
A deafening sound rang out in the American Airline Center Stadium. After completing a windmill slam dunk, Stoudemire kept showing off his muscles after landing!
"Handsome, so cool!"
" Philadelphia Beast!!!"
“COOL！！！”
Stoudemire's big windmill dunk immediately ignited the atmosphere. The players of the 76ers and the players on the bench immediately cheered for Stoudemire's goal.
At the same time, Old Nelson, who had been calm all this while, finally stood up. He gestured at the referee and called for a time-out.
Di di di di!
Using a time-out to interrupt the opponent's momentum was a common tactic used by many managers. Li Muchen did not mind. He welcomed the players with a smile and high-fived Stoudemire.
"Beautiful deduction. Old Nelson's face has been deducted by you!”
"Hehehe, that's for sure. Coach, pass the ball to me more often. I can bomb their baskets!”
The coachman said proudly. After Li Muchen's special training, he was more and more satisfied with his physical fitness.
Those who were stronger than him were not as fast as him, and those who were faster than him were not as strong as him.
Therefore, Stoudemire was looking forward to the coach giving him more shooting rights. Of course, Stoudemire also had a B in his heart. He did not have the ability to play in the low post, so he definitely would not have much shooting rights.
After all, the team had the superstar Iverson, this year's top scorer, Big Yao, and the all-around point guard, Billups. He only had a little more shooting power in the starting lineup than Butler.
....................................
Old Nelson took the initiative to call a time-out. His time-out was not because of Stoudemire's slam dunk, but because…Big Yao passes the ball to Stoudemire!
A player inside the post would play solo in the low post, and another player inside the post would play in the high post. Then, the two players inside the post would connect. This tactic made old Nelson frown.
The 76ers were playing the double-tower tactic inside!
The running and firing tactic was very afraid of the twin tower tactic.
Running and blasting, one wasn't afraid of attacks, nor was one afraid of slowing down. One was afraid of one's iron defense.
As for the twin towers tactic, they focused on the two towers inside. Not only did this tactic slow down the offensive side to play a positional battle, but it was also even stronger on the defensive side. With the twin towers, their defense against the inside was truly impregnable.
And in the fight for the rebound, the twin towers had the advantage.
"Steve, don't run and shoot from now on. Play more pick-and-rolls. The three Musketeers will work together to kill the 76ers!”
Old Nelson patted Nash's shoulder. Facing the two-tower tactic, running and shooting would be suicidal.
"Okay, I got it, coach!"
Nash nodded. After he played again, the Mavericks 'tactics changed.
They started to attack Nowitzki.
Nowitzki was the well-deserved core of the Mavericks and the main player of the Three Musketeers.
At this moment, Nowitzki was playing like a defender on the offensive end. He rarely received the ball in the low position. He usually received the ball in the high position and then broke through the frame!
The 213CM defender was the Nowitzki of this period.
This time, when the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki received the ball directly outside the three-point line. Stoudemire, who was defending against him, was forced to pull down the high post.
"Come on, if you have the ability, fight me in the inner lane, you weak woman.”
Stoudemire liked to talk trash. When he saw Nowitzki catch the ball outside the three-point line like a defender, he immediately toot.
Nowitzki's face was expressionless as he listened to Stoudemire's trash talk. He dribbled the ball and passed Stoudemire like a defender, then hit the ball from mid-range.
Stoudemire's low post defense ability was not good, but he moved quickly, so he was the most suitable player to defend against Nowitzki.
However, a superstar could not be defended, even though Nowitzki was still far from being a superstar.
Not to mention Stoudemire, even the current strengthened version of Stoudemire, Wolf King Garnett, could not lock Nowitzki down.
The two of them had just fought in the 01-02 playoffs!
In that round of the playoffs, Garnett had an average of 24 points and 18.6 rebound per game, while Nowitzki had an average of 33.3 points and 15.6 rebound per game. The Mavericks swept the Timberwolves 3:0.
It was very difficult for Stoudemire to defend against Nowitzki alone. His speed was not inferior to Nowitzki, but his flexibility was much worse than Nowitzki's.
After being eaten by Nowitzki two or three times in a row, the coachman's expression suddenly turned ugly. After Big Yao saw this, he took the initiative to volunteer.
"Amare, let me do it!"
"Big Yao, be careful. This guy is especially difficult to defend against. He's too agile!!!”
Stoudemire instructed in a low voice. This power forward played like a fullback!
Big Yao nodded seriously. After the 76ers hit the iron from Billups, Big Yao came in front of Nowitzki.
"Hello, the top scorer from China!”
Nowitzki smiled and greeted Big Yao as he watched the 226cm Big Yao defend himself. Nowitzki was an international player, so he was friendly to Big Yao, who was also an international player.
"Hello, hello!"
Big Yao replied. He looked at Nowitzki with a serious expression.
