What is the future plan of the lone ranger after the wave god is injured again?

1

Porzingis has been injured again. It's definitely not a serious injury. Boshen will probably come back soon, but it's still frustrating. Boshen missed one third of the games this season. Up to now, he has missed at least 1 games per season, with an average of 32 games per season. Combined with the health status of historical players in his height segment, Boshen's attendance is not necessarily optimistic in the future.

We always assume one thing, how far a completely healthy Polzingis will help the lone ranger go, but now, it seems that we must accept the reality that the premise of this assumption is not established, which means that the team needs special reserves in the depth of the regular season, and it also means that in some rounds of the playoffs, the team should always be prepared for the embarrassing situation that one of the core players can't play.

That's why, in recent years, all articles about the outlook of the lone ranger will mention the influence of Boshen's health on this team. Boshen is very special, and it is no problem that he is called a unicorn. But when the fate of a team is dominated by luck, people will still hesitate about this special result when facing the extreme result of 1 or . Is Boshen really the future dependence of the lone ranger?

Now we ask this question more frequently.

Some pictures will definitely deepen this doubt. In the game against the Lakers, vogel asked Popper to defend Poseidon, which was not a dislocation, but an initial counterpoint. The Lakers didn't have a three-guard lineup. They also started with Zhuang Shen, Thick Eyebrows and Kuzma. When you have three nominal inside players present at the same time, you have to take a guard in his early 9' s to guard against a big man over 2.2' s, which is not a strategy, but it is clear to humiliate you. Vogel knows what it's like to make a soft-prone middle-distance shot. It's best not to go in, and it doesn't hurt. It won't kill the Lakers, or it's definitely not the most effective way for a lone ranger to kill the Lakers.

Really refresh your cognition.

In the past, we were used to the strategy of misplaced defense. For fear of the great threat of Boshen's further fire outside the three-point line, fewer and fewer teams played Boshen with a serious big C, and it gradually became the norm for the fourth position to take over Boshen. It made sense for some bolder teams to try to defend Boshen with a small forward. Vogel's contempt for Bo Shen's low-post ability is beyond measure, which has a theoretical basis:

In the 19-2 season, Bo Shen's low-post efficiency can only exceed 26%, which has become an excellent ridicule topic for fans after dinner, and it is also the place where celebrities are most angry;

In the 2-21 season, Boshen raised this number to over 62% of the players. This looks much better, but this is the result after the opponent keeps pointing at him with the front line. You certainly won't be afraid of a low-post attacker who can't change the formation and send assists by holding the ball. Neither the low assist rate nor the middle-range shooting rate of 42% is a figure worthy of defending appall.

So, I even suspect that vogel is playing psychological warfare. He not only wants to abolish the pick-and-roll between Dancsics and Boshen, but also allows the team's three taller frontcourt players to stay near the penalty area to participate in the basket protection. He also wants to anger Boshen and make him try to tear Popper with his hands like crazy. The way is iron and blood jump shot. If Poseidon did this, vogel's mouth would not show any other expression except the relief after his ingenuity.

Of course, Boshen didn't. He was quite tough this time. But I still talked a lot about the bad things of Bo Shen. What's my intention?

I mean:

First, Boshen's unafraid low-post ability is constantly hurting his space containment, and he can't take away his opponent's center. Adams, who was shot into a honeycomb briquette, said, Van Gundy, are you serious about counterpoint? -I can't even take the striker away now. If my opponent hides his defensive weakness in Boshen in the future, it will be a joke. Boshen doesn't take away any player who can protect the basket, which means that it is the shortest boards projected by their periphery that determine the space quality of the lone ranger. If you want Fanny Smith and josh richardson's shooting to be reliable all the time, it is definitely a risky thing;

Second, however, the lone ranger's attack is still good. You have to say that this team has more offensive logic than we used to think.

What was the lone ranger attack in our past impression?

5-out, star-studded, or 1 core, 1 terminator and 3 shooters, no matter how the lineup is matched, in a word, the judgment of a "modern pick-and-roll team" can be summarized. The low post is just an ornament in this team. If we look at efficiency, it is even the part that should be eliminated.

However, with the improvement of our understanding of Dancsics-of course, he also enriched the style of play-we will find that the quality of the lone ranger's attack fluctuates with the fixed-point response of Fanny Smith and Richardson-the latter is an important winner of the lone ranger because of its higher round share, and the lone ranger has not won any game in which Richardson's real hit rate is less than 4%, and there are as many as 1 such games.

This method is that the lone ranger is a team that has various ways to solve problems within the three-point line. Although Boshen is still not a strong low-post player, we have mentioned many times in previous articles that Dancsics is not a magic ball player of the "or three-point line under the basket", and his offensive logic is more effective in the middle distance. As long as he rubs in, he has all kinds of steps and hands to help the team maintain the lower limit. Moreover, Dancsics can find the angle of the ball that goes straight to the hinterland in all kinds of strict defense. Although the lone ranger can't hit the crazy proportion of shots under the basket, he has created a very high quality of shots under the basket and handed over the highest shooting rate of -4 feet in the league.

The Lakers' strategy didn't work, except that the thick eyebrows came back to shake the rust, and the counterpoint was more casual in the execution. The lone ranger used the pass to smash the basket.

Besides Dancsics himself, Bronson, the assistant attacker, is another player who can shoot efficiently in the whole region and occasionally feed a beautiful empty line.

The shooting percentage in the basket is 73%, the shooting percentage in the near basket is 54%, the shooting percentage in the long two points is 48%, the shooting percentage in the three points is 39%, the loss-assist ratio is 2.76, and the shooting distribution is similar to that of Dancsics. Although the output is limited, Bronson's performance in providing firepower in the joint section and around Dancsics is completely sufficient. The lone ranger has two point guards who have both the ability to use space and the means to tolerate space defects, which makes them both play threats in two different offensive logic chains. In fact, the lone ranger's 36.4% three-point shooting percentage this season can only rank in the middle of the league, which makes them hand over the effective shooting percentage last season, which is also the third-best two-point shooting percentage in the league-exquisite basket, strong throwing and good CIC.

So, it's hard for us to look at the lone ranger with the eyes of the past. Even if Lei Dike handed over 47.4% of the 3-pointer sight for the lone ranger, you can hardly expect him to make the space environment of the lone ranger return to the past level after filling the vacancy in the small garage-you always have to use Richardson's, and the opponents of the lone ranger will be smarter when defending Boshen. On the contrary, Dancsics and the defender pick and roll, seeking to enter the near-basket area or open three points, has become a more direct and more tolerant choice of environmental defects.

The attack of the Lone Ranger is not as good as last season, but the attack limit of the Lone Ranger team is still not low, with the pick-and-roll breakthrough led by Dong Qiqi, various operations led by Dong Qiqi after entering the middle distance, and the three points of Dancsics, Boshen and Hardaway. If we compare them with the Trailblazers, I will think that the lone ranger is a team that is less likely to attack in the playoffs than the Trailblazers.

Even so, the lone ranger is far from being able to solve all the problems just by attacking, and almost all the operations they tried to improve their defense during their vacation failed. This incident can't help but make people reflect on a basketball concept:

On the basis of not increasing the total investment (total investment refers to the total salary and the future draft picks used), is it meaningful for the non-overflowing resources to tilt at the strong end to the weak end?

At least what the lone ranger did didn't work. The spatial advantage formed by the superposition of multiple shooters does not have a strong marginal effect, and the space increases exponentially with the increase of the number of shooters. In other words, compared with three high-quality shooters on the field, the improvement of four high-quality shooters is not 1, but more than 1. Although the 5-out of five high-quality shooters is crowded at the three-point line in the station, unless none of them has a strong ability to break and finish, resulting in no use of space, five high-quality shooters are attacking.

On the other hand, when your configuration is not good at defense as a whole, unless you can get Gaubert-level defensive players who can support the system by themselves, the change brought by one or two strong counterpoint points is also a drop in the bucket.

Without exception, Richardson, james johnson and Ewandou were introduced by the lone ranger, and none of them were able to fly everyone on the defensive end. This practice of sacrificing space for the contraposition advantage did not meet the expectations in the end.

Even the lone ranger's defense is worse than in the past. An important reason is that Boshen's performance in the basket is not as good as in the past, and people begin to find that he has a strange positioning problem on the defensive end:

On the one hand, his height has a natural advantage over the basket, so it is undoubtedly the best way to make use of this advantage to let him defend the fifth position;

On the other hand, Boshen's advantage in protecting the basket is limited to no physical contact, and he has not been thrown off or blocked by the defender. However, whether it is directly facing the protective basket of a strong insider or a large number of pick-and-roll guards and centers, he will inevitably encounter the blow of strength and speed. So Boshen doesn't always look like a lone ranger's defense now. As the most important defensive axis of a team, the fifth position is not a decline that can be compensated by adding a backcourt gate.

The lone ranger has almost no good news about defense in other aspects. As a team that doesn't push fast break, their rebounding performance is only in the middle of the league, and the lack of defensive aggressive players in rotation makes them still one of the teams with the worst ability to make mistakes in the league-the fact that they are not biased at this end has not been reversed.

Although more abundant solutions enable the lone ranger to maintain the top level of the league on the offensive end-their offensive efficiency has dropped from the first in last season's history to the 1th in this season's league, more because there are too many teams attacking against the sky this season-the absolute strength of the lone ranger can only lie in the second half of the western playoff, while some opponents who were similar to them in the west have achieved the promotion, which makes the lone ranger.

How can the future of the lone ranger be broken?

Injury risk+weakened offensive special function+awkward positioning of the defensive end are three situations, so you have to consider the adaptability between Porzingis and this team-the most suitable player to partner with Porzingis is Dream-chasing Green, because the striker defends against the wave and the center defends against Green, which means that Curry will tear the center to pieces after Green participates in the tactics, and the defensive end Green's large-scale defensive ability may be for a while.

But up to now, the situation of the lone ranger is still optimistic. After all, the market will not regard Boshen's contract as negative value, and the lone ranger will have enough time to think and find a more suitable partner for Dancsics.

What does another core of the team look like, which is the most suitable for Dancsics?

First, he should have super finishing ability. The finishing level of Colestein and injured Powell is reasonable, but their round share of 12.6% and 13.1% also shows where the finishing limit is. Dancsics's means in the middle distance are rich, and the difficult ball in the straight basket is handy, and he has improved the level of holding the ball and shooting three points by one step this season-although he has recently gone back to iron-making it unnecessary for him to cooperate with the space center. A beast-level ending madman, playing with Dancsics is very imaginative;

Second, he should have excellent defensive ability. Dancsics's defense is better than we used to know, but we can't treat him as a stable defense. If the other core is not a strong defensive point, this will inevitably lead to the cramped position of the lone ranger-it is not easy to configure three high-quality 3D players around (there is also a backcourt assistant attacker) in this league.

If Brother Alphabet doesn't renew his contract with Bucks ...

It's not realistic to pursue perfection in configuration. Practically speaking, Richardson and Powell each need to become better players, which means a high-quality player in the backcourt or flank, and a defensive insider who can make more contributions to the end. But the lone ranger should be cautious in doing this. It's hard to say how Richardson will handle the player options this summer (of course, there is no shortage of players who are willing to offer premium contracts these days). Powell's contract is quite long. Lone Rangers should not pay too high a price to upgrade them-they have lost the first round of signing for 21 and 23 years in the Boshen trade, which means that the lone ranger can use the future.
