The discussion about Jay Brown never stopped, or the comparison between Tatum and him never stopped.
In terms of honor, Tatum is about to enter for a while for two consecutive years, and also won the first east decision mvp, which is the head of the Celtics; However, from the scene, the number of browlaus crossing is less than that of Tatum, he has a higher lower limit than Tatum. Tatum often has moments of complete loss, while Brown’s output is stable and efficient.
Brown’s comprehensive skills at both ends of the attack and defense made many people feel sorry. “if Brown changes to a team and becomes the team leader, his achievements may be higher than now. Staying in Celtics, he made a lot of sacrifices and even lost his talent.”
Is the actual thing really that simple? Brown’s failure to become the leader of a strong team is the inevitable result of ability limitation or sacrifice for the team, which should start from the characteristics of his attack and defense at both ends.
In a word, Brown’s attack is “especially able to score”. There are many powerful two-in-one alliances. The Two-in-one league like Brown, which cuts 30 points as usual, is the only one. Moreover, Brown’s attack methods are very comprehensive, and he takes care of the ball, confrontation and speed, from fast attack to positional warfare, as long as he takes the ball, he can form a threat. Whether it is easy to crush the defender to complete the score in the chaotic battle, it is very strong to push on its own or to follow up the fast attack on both wings. Facing the team with poor discipline of retreat (such as the current rival Philadelphia), Brown can produce considerable output only by fast attack.
Fast attack ending capability alliance first-class
In fact, the attacking environment arranged by the Celts is also friendly to Brown: After falling into the positional battle, when the Celts put on the full-shooter lineup of Horford to play center, it is very easy for double flower exploration to find the chance of dislocation attack.
Compared with Arthur Tatum, who relies more on footsteps and foul-making skills, John Brown’s ball holding seems more decisive and direct. He can not only rely on confrontation and speed to reach the close frame to finish the end, you can also directly pull the jump shot in front of the defender through bounce and feel. Tatum sometimes falls into confusion and hesitation, but you hardly see these two words in brown. No matter whether the state is good or bad, Brown usually makes decisions quickly.
The battle in the ground is stable with one heart and one hand.
Dislocation singles MVP easy to handle
The Celtics’s top space and the unpredictable running position of the team in the field War undoubtedly greatly helped Brown. In addition, Brown can score efficiently in every area and does not rely on the main attack style of free throws. At some moments, on the contrary, Brown can suppress Tatum as the most stable point of the team’s attack. In the last six rounds of Celtics series, Brown’s scoring performance has been reliable no matter what style of opponents he encounters. Even in the 22-year finals with slightly worse performance, he is also the most trustworthy scorer of the team.
In horizontal comparison, even if it is the second head of many teams competing for the championship, he completely lost himself in the high-intensity confrontation of the playoffs from time to time; In vertical comparison with Tatum, compared with the latter’s large number of arch top retreat steps and three points + the hands who rushed into the penalty area to make free throws, Brown’s sense of the game is also much better.
Dry and strong investment, just one word
Based on the above analysis, it is not difficult to understand why so many fans think that Brown is in Celtics or that Tatum is not worthy of Brown’s strong second leader. After all, stable scoring in the playoffs is the most advanced skill. Brown just mastered it very well and deserves recognition.
But if you think that Brown has been suppressed in Celtics, it is a behavior of overcorrection. The fatal defect of Brown’s attack limits his possibility of becoming a big leader at present.
Different from Tatum, a natural ball-holding attacker, Brown’s practice of holding the ball is completely a half-way monk. When Brown was in college, he hit 29 percent in three points and 65 percent in free throws, the average game is 2.0 to help the brown man who made 3.1 mistakes. Now, although Brown has become a chilling marksman + an efficient attacker, the difference between his attack and Tatum is still visible.
Metaphysics is the feeling of competition, and the academic saying is basketball IQ. Although Brown’s attack launch method is very comprehensive, with face frame, back frame, singles, ball blocking and dismantling, weak side covering or fixed point receive the ball processing, Brown’s launch methods mainly serve himself, he rarely found his vacant teammates, often facing his opponents, and easily exposed the defect of unstable operation control when he met experienced defenders-this is also the reason why Brown’s attack baskets and free throws are not strong.
Only one person can attack the ball.
In fact, Tatum’s sudden projection was not obviously short-board, and his decision-making ability in the competition was much better than that of Brown. Playing Philadelphia round had a very intuitive feeling. Tatum’s state has ups and downs, but there are few Hu Beating. He can keenly find that the frame protection problem in Philadelphia rushed in and made aggressive, which can stably punish dislocation, in Philadelphia, you can find a peripheral shooter or a teammate who clicks through the back door.
In contrast, Brown often has very bad handling of the ball, which is mainly reflected in the fact that once Brown starts, he completely loses the field of view and falls into the defensive encirclement. Several quick attack mistakes in the third quarter of Philadelphia’s first battle, two consecutive offensive fouls in the second quarter of tianwangshan, disrupted the rotation and deployment of the team, etc. All these rounds remind people that Brown is still far from an all-powerful player.
It is very unwise to deal with the ball in positional warfare.
Tucker’s toys
White behind him was too empty to be empty, but he had to give an offensive foul.
In general, in an offensive League, as the core of the team, you ‘d better not have any obvious technical shortcomings, however, Brown’s short board in passing destined that he could not become the main attacker of the top team. In Celtics, the team has a system of high-quality space + more points to get the ball, which can make Brown feel at ease as a fighter, and everything is unknown in a different environment.
Like the attacking end, Brown’s defense has the same advantages and disadvantages. Since he entered the competition, he has been the flank gate with strong single defense ability. As early as 17 East games, the fledgling Brown was actually the most effective player of single defense James in Celtics. Brown takes both running and jumping and confrontation into consideration, and can squeeze the core ball holder who can cover and defend the opponent, and can compete with the opponent’s internal fighting card position. For many years, Brown’s single-defense mission in Celtics has been very heavy. He and SMAT are responsible for keeping an eye on the opponent’s attack core.
In this semi-final round, Brown also showed his single-defense ability. When he led Harden, he caused great trouble to harden, whether it was the oppression from the back court or the limitation of the half court, Harden receive the ball, Brown did a very good job. With the deepening of the series, Philadelphia will often set more complicated cover tactics to make Harden avoid Brown’s single defense when attacking with the ball.
The Celtics positioned Brown as a single anti-lock to make the best use of everything, but compared with its comprehensive relieve a garrison single anti-elastic, Brown’s co-defense has always been his short board. In G1, Brown has more counterpositions to Tucker. He cannot provide the same sense of co-defense presence as Horford or smart. Harden disassembles a large number of matches into 2V2 or 1V1 through blocking and dismantling, when the ball hit the penalty area, Brown’s strength to reclaim the penalty area was weak, which was also the hidden reason for the Celtic G1 defensive crash.
At the critical moment of G4, Brown went to the defense at the wrong time. His attack gave up a route for enbide to pass to the open space on the strong side, hadden, who feels hot, probably didn’t expect that he could get a three-point chance to get a big vacancy in the bottom corner at the last moment and finish the killing by hand.
Based on the fact that Brown’s grasp of the opportunity of supporting defense is not good enough, how to let Brown stay on line as much as possible and limit the opponent’s players has become an important topic of Celtic’s defensive arrangement.
Therefore, generally speaking, I am willing to use the word “counterpoint machine” to describe Jay Brown. He is definitely an opponent you don’t want to face in the playoffs. He can score points on your head, can also be inseparable from you on the defensive end.
Fans are most fond of playing one-on-one opponents or one-on-one anti-death opponents. Jay Brown just has the ability, which also gives him a high rating. However, basketball is a team sport, which is 5V5 rather than 1V1. The most appropriate position of a single offensive and defensive player, Brown, must be to play the sharp knife in the system, rather than become the system itself.
At present, Celtics have encountered great trouble in the series, but in any case, Celts and Brown are a perfect match and should continue to cooperate.
