When he was with the Heat last season, Wang Dalin's main position was power forward Of course, he would sometimes swing to the fifth or third position. With his height, speed and strength, he can indeed play in these positions. Swing it at will, and the effect is pretty good.
Wang Dalin¡¯s main position this season is small forward, but occasionally he will play the power forward position. He even played center when Ben was injured.
One thing to say is that he performed quite well at the fifth position at that time, and he had a bit of a shadow of the later teacher Yue. When it comes to organizational ability, only Garnett among the players in the league who are over 210cm tall can compare with him However, Carlisle was still surprised when he suddenly asked to play point guard.
"Darling, are you serious?" Carlisle asked seriously.
"Coach Rick, don't you understand me yet? When did I stop talking seriously?" Wang Dalin said with a slight smile.
"I'm not worried about your performance on the offensive end, but what about on defense? Can you keep up with Byron against him?"
"Who said I have to face him when I'm on defense?" Wang Dalin blinked and said with a smile, "When we're on defense, we'd better let the defender defend him, and I'll be responsible for assisting in defense on the inside!"
Carlisle was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then fell into deep thought.
He understood what Wang Dalin meant. Under this tactic, Wang Dalin was the point guard when the team was attacking, and he was still the small forward, power forward or even the center when defending!
This kind of tactical thinking is unprecedented. Even a master tactician like Carlisle couldn't help but think for a long time before he realized the beauty of it.
In fact, there are some differences between Wang Dalin's "sewer" style of play and Westbrook in later generations. Westbrook himself is a point guard, so he will appear at the No. 1 position on both offense and defense. Wang Dalin plays in a different position, which means he cannot completely copy Westbrook's style of play.
In summary, the style of play he envisioned is more like James in the later Lakers era Lao Zhan was the point guard in the Lakers, but on the defensive end, he often appeared in the third or even fourth position.
After all, he is about 205cm tall. Even if he moves faster than most forward players, how can he match those ridiculously fast little guys at the first position?
Furthermore, Lao James was indeed "Old James" when he was with the Lakers. His steps were much slower than when he was at his peak, and it is no longer possible to replicate his performance of single defense against Derrick Rose at his peak.
The difficulties faced by the Pistons now are self-evident. Except for Wang Dalin, no one in the team can compare with the opponent. If he cannot crush the opponent forcefully, the Pistons will have no chance of winning.
Carlisle thought for almost half a minute, and finally looked directly at Wang Dalin and said, "Darling, are you sure?"
Wang Dalin smiled and said: "No, but you also know that in this situation now, we will definitely lose if we fight normally. There is no chance of winning anyway, so why can't we give it a try?"
Carlisle laughed and said: "What you said makes sense, but I am speechlessOkay, just follow the tactics you said, and the other players will fully cooperate with you!"
Turning his head, Carlisle said to all the players: "Everyone, please pay attention. We can say that we are going all-out now. On the offensive end, Darling controls the ball. Everyone, please run and cover each other. Don't hesitate after catching the ball. As long as the opponent If there is no close pressing, let me attack immediately."
After a slight pause, Carlisle continued: "When defending, we still use Darling as the core, shrink the formation and play zone defense. They don't have any decent shooters on the team. Don't be afraid of their three-pointers. Do you understand?"
The players all responded: "I understand!"
Wang Dalin smiled and said: "Everyone, you must take action immediately after catching the ball. Don't be afraid of missing the shot. Let's all rush for offensive rebounds!"
Damon Jones asked weakly: "Is this the kind of total attack and total defense used by the Dutch football team?"
Wang Dalin smiled and said: "That's right, it's full attack and full defense!"
¡¡
The timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the court. The Pistons sent Wang Dalin, Williams, Barry, Jones and Alston.
Paul Silas on the sidelines couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect Carlisle to let Wang Dalin play center, but what's the use?
Silas certainly knows how many games Wang Dalin has played as a center this season, but at that time the Pistons had all the main players besides Ben. Who else did they have besides Wang Dalin tonight?
It's just that Ben's absence may not be the end of the Pistons, but without the four main players of Ben, Hamilton, Billups and Robinson, if the Hornets still can't win this game, Silas feels that they Not as good asBut, everyone must be determined when shooting If we can't hit those mid-range shots, we won't be able to break the Pistons' zone defense. Do you understand? "
"Byron, your personal offense must be more determined. I allow you to play freely when the opponent is assisting in defense. You don't have to pass the ball every time You are the most certain attack point of our team, do you understand?"
Coach Silas is worthy of being a veteran coach who has been in the league for many years. His arrangements are spot on. But if the head coach sees the problem clearly and makes arrangements, will the players be able to implement them in place?
Basketball after all, it still depends on the players playing on the court!
And how can Carlisle, the master tactician, be a fuel-efficient lamp?
When the players from both sides returned to the court again, Silas was shocked because he saw that the Pistons actually sent Gates!
Gates has only played in 14 games this season, averaging less than 10 minutes per game, and basically appeared in garbage time.
Because he is overweight and slow in movement, he can only stay inside when defending. As long as he is on the court, he will become a weak point for the opponent.
But now that the Pistons have Wang Dalin, a master of help defense, Gates can safely and boldly defend the inside. He only needs to withstand the opponent Magloire or Campbell, and Wang Dalin will do the rest.
With the Hornets' slow half-court offense, how could Gates be afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep up?
¡¡
Back in the game, it was the Hornets' turn to attack.
Davis immediately scored a goal. He pushed away Alston to complete the mid-range shot before Wang Dalin came to defend him. The basketball hit the rim a few times and finally made it.
Looking back, Wang Dalin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and after a little observation, he lobbed the ball to Gates.
After Gates caught the ball, he pushed forward with his back. He only pushed Magloire once and immediately shouted "Ya Zhi Die" and retreated Gates jumped from the basket and hit a dunk.
No matter on the offensive or defensive end, Gates is a rough guy, but he can't stand up to his strength!
Magloire is 211cm tall and weighs 117kg. He can be considered a very strong meat shield center. The Hornets selected him to cultivate him vigorously.
This season, he averaged 8.5 points and 5.6 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game. If he played 36 minutes per game, he would have 17 points and 11 rebounds He is obviously a good prospect for a super center!
Unlike Campbell, a tall and lanky man who weighs 98kg, Magloire obviously has better physical talent and is in line with the current trend in the league of "those who get inside win the world" Who doesn't want a Tim Duncan?
But his physique would be defeated against Gates Isn't this O'Neal?
Wang Dalin got another assist. He just scored in double figures in this game, but he has already assisted 7 times.
And plus the 4 rebounds in the first quarter, he has grabbed 7 rebounds. Looking at this situation, he may have a chance to score a triple-double in the first half.
Silas frowned and fell into deep thought "The Pistons only have Wang Dalin as the main force, so why do we seem to be the weaker side?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
