NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

"The two defenses I can think of are naturally help defense and one-on-one defense."

Tony was the first to speak and answered Rivers' question.

"Then do you know the difference between help defense and single defense?" Rivers then asked.

"Tim Duncan and KG have great help defenses, but they're two completely different types of defense.

"Duncan is better at defending the restricted area. Although his help defense can also extend beyond the three-point line, the strongest help defense is naturally the basket-centered help defense.

"As long as the opponent breaks through to the inside, they will encounter Duncan's help defense."

Answering Rivers is Pierce, as a veteran in the league for many years, he is very clear that even there is a big difference between the help defense.

"KG's help defense is more perimeter than Duncan, because KG has the same speed as a guard, plus a great length and wingspan."

"It can make KG keep going from beyond the arc to the restricted area, and keep assisting back and forth."

"As long as you try to attack from beyond the arc, KG's help defense will easily double-team you before you break into the paint."

Speaking of which, Pierce glanced at Gu Yu and said, "In a way, Gu and KG's help defense are very similar. 35

After all, Gu Yu's defense came from Garnett, so it's normal to be more similar to Nate.

Duncan and Garnett are both four players.

But Duncan is clearly more inclined to the 5, while Garnett is more inclined to the 3.

This is also why, in the face of the Celtics Big Three in 2008, Kobe Bryant will suffer a lot, but the Western Finals have hammered the Spurs.

Duncan's help defense is generally more inclined to the inside and the basket.

The mid-range attack on the ball carrier is indeed not as good as Garnett's.

Rivers continued: "Then who of you can tell me, the difference between single defense?'""

This time it was Hardaway who spoke.

"Solo defense, I'm impressed with Scottie Pippen."

"When I played against him, he would always use his long arms to interfere with my shots.

"And then there's Dennis Rodman, whose defense I don't like.

"All kinds of small actions, constantly affecting my mentality through trash talk, and even blocking my offense through malicious fouls."

Pi Erye's defense, to a certain extent, is indeed very talented.

The advantage of the wingspan allows him to easily interfere with the opponent's shot.

Rodman's defense is a typical petty move +477 trash talk, and there are many such defenses in the league.

For example, the future Celtics coach Long is very good at this kind of defense.

"Is there any other way of one-on-one defense?" Rivers continued to ask.

Okur replied: "Confrontation! Non-stop confrontation! It consumes the opponent's touch and consumes the opponent's physical strength. I personally admire this kind of defense.

Celtic generals nodded, agreeing with Okur's words.

Fierce confrontation is the easiest to kill the feel.

Moreover, in the face of high-intensity defense by the defender, the action of the ball carrier is also easily deformed.

Not only Okur, many well-known defenders in the league are good at this kind of defense.

For example, Artest, one of the protagonists of the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, and Raja Bell of Kobe Bryant. . .

"There's also a rarer way of defending, and that's the way my former team-mate Hamilton did. 55

"Through a lot of off-ball running, the opponent's physical energy is consumed, thereby affecting the opponent's offense, but such players are relatively few in the league. 99

In general, the purpose of this method is to consume the opponent's physical energy.

Reggie Miller and Hamilton, future gentlemen Ray and Thompson are typical such players.

The regular season is not yet obvious. When the main force of the playoffs is habitually dead, the advantages of this defensive tactic are reflected.

The most typical is last year's finals.

One of the reasons why Kobe didn't play well was because the defensive end chasing Hamilton consumed a lot of physical energy.

Rivers nodded and said to the crowd: "Almost, what you said basically covers the main defense methods in the current league."

There is one way that Rivers did not say, that is, the master of steals and the master of shot block in the league.

To some extent, blocks and steals are gambling defenses.

Steals are easy to miss.

Blocks are prone to fouls.

Because the king of steals or the king of blocks in the league has never been equal to a defensive giant.

"How scary is this Piston now?"

"Ben Wallace was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and he played like a combination of Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan!"

"The Pistons' perimeter, the priority is to defend the shot, as long as the opponent chooses to break through, Ben Wallace's pincer attack will come.

"'Little Prince' Prince, a typical small forward with long arms, similar to Scottie Pippen's defensive man, last season's finals, he and Hamilton together made Kobe a big loss.

"Rasheed Wallace is a tough technical foul king, Gu Yu, you have to be very careful with him!

Hearing Rivers' words, Gu Yu nodded.

Rasheed. Wallace this player, although his career has not been selected for the best team, has not been selected for the best defensive team.

But that doesn't mean his defense is bad.

After all, even Camby's data brush can get the best defensive player.

Awards, to some extent, do not fully describe the value of a player on the defensive end.

Historically, Rasheed Wallace's defensive WS this season is 5.1.

WS is winshare, or victory contribution value.

The Spurs were selected for the first defense's 'Heavenly Stump' Bao Sanshu, and the WS on the defensive end was only 4.0.

From here, you can also see the energy of Rasheed Wallace's defensive end.

"With Chauncey Billups at the 1, he's a defensive-minded point guard who's very good at using strong bodies to create confrontation. 35

"It's fair to say that this Pistons team is full of defensemen of all kinds."

"That's not to say, of course, that the Pistons' defense doesn't have any flaws."

"But the scariest thing about this Piston is that he can turn his flaws into a trap for you!"

'Little Prince' Prince and Hamilton are both lighter players, but this is not the weakness of the Pistons. On the contrary, if we really play this point, I am afraid it will be us who will lose.

'Little Prince' Prince is a small forward with a height of 2.06 meters and a weight of only 98KG.

Pierce, who is also a small forward, is 2.01 meters tall and weighs 107KG.

Hamilton is 1.98 meters tall and weighs only 84KG.

And Kobe, who is also a defender, has a weight of 97KG.

It can also be seen from the weight that the Pistons' No. 2 and No. 3 players are not good at dealing with players in the same position with tonnage.

But as Rivers said, the Pistons appear to be defensive holes at the 2 and 3 positions.

But the question is, if the Pistons are really that easy to deal with, can they still be a championship-level team?

If the average defender chooses to break through Hamilton, then even if he succeeds in breaking through, he will inevitably face Ben Wallace who comes to help defend.

And it doesn't mean that the defender at the second position will definitely oppose the player at the second position.

In the finals, the defender who defended Kobe Bryant on the perimeter was the 'Little Prince' Prince at the 3rd position.

Prince's weight, defending the 3, especially against Pierce, a small forward with weight, is indeed difficult to defend.

But if it is a matchup, Kobe Bryant's second position, who is good at shooting, and his excellent wingspan can easily interfere with Kobe.

Gu Yu nodded when he heard Rivers' words.

In fact, to a certain extent, it is actually a typical small-ball era lineup.

Outside shooters: Billups and Hamilton.

Blue collar flank: Prince.

Space forward: Rasheed Wallace.

All-round defensive master: Ben Wallace.

Is it familiar?

Very similar to the Warriors' small-ball lineup.

And it's the defense-enhanced version!

Tony asked at this time: (cdee) "Can't play their No. 2 and No. 3 positions, then coach, how are we going to deal with the Pistons?

Tony's question immediately caught everyone's attention.

Everyone was expecting an answer from Rivers.

Rivers didn't give a shit either and answered Tony's question directly.

"Inside!"

Tony:???

I'd rather not be teasing me!

Isn't the Pistons interior made up of Rasheed Wallace and two-time Defensive Player of the Year Ben Wallace?

Even the Sharks couldn't destroy last year's Finals.

Break down the inside line of the piston, I'd rather not be teasing me!

Gu Yu looked at Oku and then at Rivers, and instantly understood what Rivers meant.

"I understand the coach, I will keep hitting the Pistons inside!

When Rivers heard Gu Yu's answer, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said with emotion: "Gu, your golf IQ is really outstanding!

What are you two Ning talking about!?

Tony looked at the two with a black question mark face at this time.

This f*ck...

what's going on!?

At this time, Larry Brown was also being interviewed by the media.

As a pot dumper, he is now ready to completely smash the pot clean.

Isn't the social melon saying that the dream team failed, because the dream team is stronger than the Longguo men's basketball team, so should he take the blame?

And now as long as he defeats Gu Yu, who has not yet tasted defeat in the NBA, he can completely remove the pot.

Even the words in the post-match press conference, Larry Brown had already thought about it.

"The Olympics lost to Gu Yu purely because the Dream Team's defense was not good, and some players' defensive attitudes were problematic, otherwise the Dream Team would not be defeated by the Longguo Men's Basketball Team!"

Throwing the blame to the social melons, Stoudemire and others, he completely distanced himself from it.

And now, naturally, he has to throw the pot for himself and start preheating.

"Coach Brown, the Pistons' next opponent is the Cavaliers who have won three straight, you were beaten by Gu Yu in the Olympics, do you have the confidence to beat the Celtics now?

"First of all, I want to make a point that the Dream Team's lineup is indeed deformed. I admit the failure of the Dream Team, but I do not admit that I was defeated by Gu Yu."

"Gu Yu is indeed a very good, very good young man, but his opponent is the defending champion! 35

"I will welcome Gu Yu to the NBA with a big win! 35

The confident Larry Brown directly used the victory.

What reporters like the most is this kind of grudge game!

Before the game, the news about Larry Brown and Gu Yu was already flying.

ESPN: The rhetoric of the champion coach! Larry Brown does not admit to being defeated by Gu Yu!

Sports Illustrated: Super rookie Gu Yu! Against the defending champs!

Los Angeles Times: The winning streak is about to end! The champion coach releases a declaration of victory!

At this time, there is naturally no shortage of media teams.

Like Barkley.

Barkley and Smith have a good relationship with Gu Yu though.

But this time, Barkley is not optimistic about the Celtics.

"To be honest, this game, in my opinion, actually has no suspense.

"I admit that Gu Yu is very good, Paul Pierce is also very good, but their opponent is the Pistons, the championship team that defeated the Lakers F4!"

"In the first three games of the Celtics, the only opponent with gold content is the Cavaliers, but the Cavaliers are also on the fringes of the playoffs.""

"If it's three years, no, two years from now, with Gu Yu growing up, I think the Celtics will have a high probability of being a championship team. 39

"But, the current Gu Yu is still too young, the Pistons are not a strong enemy he can solve at all!"

At this time, the Celtics generals have already boarded the plane to Detroit.

Looking at today's paper, Pierce joked.

"Larry Brown, this old man, is really stingy. After being defeated by you, he has been thinking about revenge!"

"Paul, if I were Larry Brown, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to kill Gu now, after all, Gu Ke defeated the Dream Team, and the Dream Team 6 is now almost a shame for the beautiful family!

As Oku spoke, his eyes were full of emotion when he looked at Gu Yu.

"Correct, it's not fast, Dream Six is ​​the shame of the beautiful family, the myth we created back then was completely shattered by Gu Yu alone!

'Penny' Hardaway was also full of emotion at this time.

He used to be a member of the Dream Team and participated in the 1996 Olympic Games.

"Seriously Gu, how on earth did you and Yao beat the Dream Team? Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Stephen Marbury, the coach can win, right?

Dior looked at Gu Yu curiously at this time.

"Boris, if Larry Brown hears your words, I guess you may have to lie down and leave the Palace of Auburn Hills."

Gu Yu didn't answer Dior's question, but made fun of Dior.

"What's the matter with the pistons, don't they just elbow people, fly legs, and talk trash?"

"When the time comes, you will deal with Rasheed, I will deal with Prince, and we will deal with him!"

Diao didn't take the Pistons in his eyes at all at this point.

Director Lu couldn't stand it anymore, and said speechlessly: "Boris, you can even play center, so you can't go to Ben Wallace to play against him? Why bully Prince, a small forward?"5

"It's called playing to maximize my strengths!

Dior didn't feel ashamed to beat Prince in the slightest, but instead looked proud.

Gu Yu looked at this group of people and always felt that there was something wrong with the style of painting.

Dior, who specializes in dislocation and bullying, Perkins, who relies on emotional intelligence, is guided by dribble guard Lu, and Rivers, who is always reversed in the playoffs...
