Chapter 445 The So-Called Champion
With one more point, the Lakers will be able to overtake the score.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, there was a sudden turmoil and the situation changed extremely quickly.

The awakening of No. 13 in Los Angeles brought emotions to the Great Western Forum Arena, and they shouted loudly to cheer for their home team.

Wilt Chamberlain?Seriously, it really deserves to be the "No. [-] monster in history"!But, I still say that!

G7 is my stage!And your heart is far less big than mine!
The year before last, I could overthrow you with my own hands!Then there will be no surprises this year!

Tang Qian looked at No. 10 New York on the opposite side, and silently calculated in his heart, because in the current situation, every point is very important, so... he must not be allowed to attack from the outside.Otherwise, with his current state, Jerry West can't stop him at all, so the probability of winning will be greatly reduced.what to do?I can only let myself defend and suppress him!
This is the way out for the Lakers!
After all, now, only his own competitive state can compete with him!
So the best candidate, without a doubt.

However, how to make the opponent give up outside shots and focus on the inside?Tang Qian came up with a plan in his mind, which was to show the enemy his weakness and deliberately sell a loophole.But the other party is obviously not a fool, he can become a quasi-superstar at the No. 1 position, and his basketball IQ is definitely very good, so this "bait" must be fat enough and attractive enough.

How?It's very simple, that is to use one's "six offenders' graduation" as a "hook", so that the other party has no way not to get hooked, no way not to get hooked.However, this "bait" is tempting enough, but the same risk is also extremely huge.Because if you don't get it right, then it's not that your opponent is "fooled", but you are "self-defeating" and "losing your wife and losing your army".This is a "double-edged sword", both good and bad, equally obvious.

But Tang Qian hesitated, because if he failed, the Lakers and himself would be finished.

At such a high price, it's not surprising that he hesitated.

But at this moment, the opponent really showed his strength, a breakthrough made an emergency stop and shot, and the basketball accurately drilled into the Lakers' basket.Jerry. West's defense is very hard, but it can't play a big role.Without it, his competitive state tonight is not on the same level as New York's No. 10.

3 points lead.

Walter Fraser glanced at the inside of the Lakers. Although he didn't speak, his eyes said everything.

You guys can't win tonight!

This is pride, and even more self-confidence. This season's Walter Fraser does have the capital and qualifications.

Tang Qian's expression darkened, and as expected, the thing he was most worried about happened.

Don't think that the quasi-super giant at the peak of history is a brainless ram. As the brain of the team, the No. 1 quasi-super giant's judgment on the situation is usually the most accurate and meticulous among the five players on the field.Since the breakthrough was fruitless, it is natural to adjust the attack method this time and use the most favorable method to continue to maintain the lead.On the offensive end, the Lakers made no difference, and continued to hand it over to the low-post No. 5, who took full control of it.Who said that during this period of time, the offense of No. 13 was the most stable and efficient?

At this critical juncture, it doesn't matter who you are or what method you use, as long as you can put the ball into the opposite basket, that's good, that's great, that's the best choice!After all, the essence of basketball is still a scoring game.

After seeing this situation, Reed Holzman stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly: "High-intensity defense! High-intensity defense! Don't be afraid of confrontation! Don't be afraid of confrontation! Give me a little tougher! If it doesn't work, it's okay." Stop him for a foul!!!" Both Jerry Lucas and Dave Debusschere heard the head coach's tactical instructions, and they tried their best to do so, but the effect...was not satisfactory.Tang Qian's physical ability at this moment is far beyond normal under the great blessing of "Furious Rage". Coupled with the inherently tyrannical strength attribute, at this moment, pushing his back to the top has reached an astonishing level, even if it is They want to make small moves, and it is difficult to stop the Lakers' No. 13.

bang~
"Wilt~Chamberlain~~~This is a bulldozer-like dunk! In the league, besides Los Angeles No. 13, who else can do it?" The fan atmosphere in the stadium has always been maintained at a high level of enthusiasm.

"Great job! Wilt! This dunk is so cool!"

"Wilt! You were the best tonight! We'll win!"

"Destroy them, these damn New Yorkers! You are the number one center in the league!!!"

Hearing the shouts of the fans in the front row, "Tang Qian" waved his hand to signal them to rest assured that this game will definitely not be lost.

Reed Holzman's face is very ugly, because the team's two insiders are obviously working hard, but they still can't stop the opponent. The number 13 doesn't know what happened tonight, but he played violently Feeling full, as if every ball is tearing the Knicks' rim.Suddenly he remembered what "Cardinal" Auerbach said. The biggest problem with Wilt Chamberlain is that basketball is not his only game, so he will never be able to beat Boston or the Celtics.This sentence is of course a bit boastful, because Chamberlain still defeated the Boston Celtics head-on, otherwise the longest dynasty in NBA history would not be "only" eight consecutive hegemony.But aside from these "bragging" elements, Auerbach's meaning is also very obvious, that is, No. 13, who is serious and focused, will be unstoppable, far beyond people's imagination.

For example... now?

A 35-year-old person still has such ability? ? ?Wouldn't this guy be even more exaggerated if his knees hadn't been scrapped? ? ?

This was the 60s and 70s, and 35 years old is basically the age of an athlete who is "old", and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's age record has not yet been born, so how do you look at this era? Wilt Chamberlain is a bit unhuman, a bit Too much.But... you are strong, NBA champion, I can't give it to you!

We must find a way to let the Knicks stabilize their advantage!
What can be done?After Reed Holzman frowned, his mind suddenly brightened, and he said:
Yes, yes, didn't you just say the solution?

If it doesn't work, even if it's a foul, then stop him!

Yes, it is a foul!Use a foul method to send him to the free throw line!

Anyway, besides him, the Lakers currently have no one who can compete with Walter Frazier who is in a state of madness!

Although the solution may be a little "disgusting", but history will always belong to the winner!
As long as you become the final winner, the process is not very important!
OK, let's do it!

Just as Walter Frazier was dribbling forward, Reed Holzman called a timeout.

Both the Lakers and the Knicks felt a little surprised, because this timeout came a bit "abruptly".

Back on the team's bench, Walter Fraser asked, "Mr. Holzman, why did you suddenly call a timeout?"

"Because I thought of a way to win!" Reed Holzman said with bright eyes.

"Must, a sure way to win?" The entire New York Knicks were stunned at once, after all, these words were too lethal and too explosive.Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Reed Holzman said: "It's actually very simple, just do it like this, listen carefully, anyway, there is not much time left now..."

For the Lakers, Bill Sharman stood in front of No. 13 of the team and said, "Wilt, are you okay? Are you physically fit?" It made sense for him to say this, because this round of the series Inside, "Wilt Chamberlain"'s physical strength is much worse than usual, and he can't even last the fourth quarter in many games, so at this juncture, he needs to ask clearly that this "big guy" is in a physical state. what kind of situation.The former is also a generation of famous coaches in NBA history. He understands who the strongest point of the Lakers is now.

"Fortunately, I have no problem." It's hard to say about other games, but now, with the blessing of "Fury Rage", "Tang Qian"'s physical fitness will not be in any crisis at all. This is also the last moment since 7 games. It's been a solid one.

"Very good, Wilt, there are only 2 minutes left, you must hold on." Bill Sharman got the answer from the Lakers' No. 13, and said: "What tactical support do you need? I will try my best to satisfy you." .”

"Okay, sir, thank you." "Tang Qian" nodded and said.

In fact, they have already hit this point, so how can there be any subtle tactics to speak of?On the contrary, offense and defense have become the simplest and most important factors.

……

"The pause time is always short, let us welcome the last 116 seconds together~" Chick Hearn said: "Ladies and gentlemen in Los Angeles, please do your best in the next time, don't be stingy ~"

"The Great Western Forum needs you~"

"The Lakers need you too~"

"Let us dedicate ourselves to the first championship trophy in Los Angeles~"

"Let's.go~Lakers~"

Knicks halftime.

"Isn't Coach Holzman's approach a little~ well, you understand, Jerry~" Dave Debusschell said.

"What's wrong?" Jerry Lucas said: "Winning is the key! As the head coach, Mr. Holzman's only focus should be winning! On the contrary, I think Mr. Holzman He is very competent and excellent, because he has done everything a head coach should do~" "Well, that's right~ It's just that I always feel that this is a bit..." Before Dave Debusschere could finish speaking, he was met by Jay Li Lucas "sneered" and said: "Dave, what do you think? Not positive enough? Not direct enough? Not enough chivalry? Come. "

"On the battlefield, who can remember the glory of the loser?"

"So, we must follow Mr. Reed Holzman's arrangement, otherwise, even if we are worthy of ourselves, we are also sorry for the tens of thousands of New York fans~ Do you understand?"

"Oh~ I see~ Jerry~ You're right~ I was thinking too much~" Dave Debusschere said with hesitation on his face and became firm again.

On the offensive end, Walter Frazier hit another jumper, as if he also knew how powerful the Lakers are at the basket, so he temporarily gave up his thoughts and ideas of continuing to kill the inside and chose a compromise method to score.In this way, "Tang Qian"'s inside deterrence ability was completely ineffective, and it was useless at all.

This is the defensive limitation of inside players, especially center forwards. You can't really take care of the entire shooting area.

Not even Olajuwon.

brush~
The score difference returned to 3 points.

And just when the Lakers passed the ball inside and were about to continue to let the team's No. 13 low post forcefully, an accident occurred. Jerry Lucas and Dave Debusschere actually rushed up, and then faced Watching "Tang Qian" quickly fouled.This action was done "fairly" in front of the referee, so without hesitation, it was a foul penalty, which was given to Jerry Lucas who took the lead.

Because the Knicks' team fouls in the fourth quarter have reached the number of times, there is nothing to say, and the Lakers were sent to the Knicks' free throw line on the 13th.The referee's gesture appeared and two free throws were made.

Tang Qian frowned when he saw the referee's gesture, and then stood on the free throw line.

First penalty, "Duang"'s strike.

The second penalty, still "Duang", hit the basket and went out.

Although "Rage" was activated, Tang Qian already knew that this free throw was not included in the "Rage Amplification".And my current average free throw percentage is about 61%, but because it is the playoffs, I have been affected by "demons", and my free throw percentage will further decline, so it may be difficult to achieve 40% now.In this way, failing to make two free throws becomes extremely possible and extremely normal.

Turning around, the opponent threw another mid-range shot, which widened the score difference to more than 5 points again.

When the Lakers had just delivered the backcourt ball, the referee's whistle rang again.

The Knicks fouled off the ball on the 22nd, and the Lakers needed another free throw on the 13th.

Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar, because this kind of thing was really rare in the NBA in the 70s.

But in the eyes of "Tang Qian", the meaning is a little deeper, because he came here in 2015, so he knows that this defensive tactic has another nickname, which is "shark chopping".In fact, the ultimate source of this name should be called "cutting tactics". It was only because the league revised the rules for off-ball fouls for O'Neal in 02 that it was commonly called "shark chopping".But this tactic was well-known before 2016, but it was not popular, because its real peak appeared in the 2015-2016 season, with a total of 420 times, and during this time period, Shaq O'Neal had retired for a long time.Therefore, the era that really carried forward the "shark chopping" was not the O'Neill era, but the "Warcraft", "Little Jordan" and others behind.The reason is that there were more rough guys in the league, so it finally reached a point where it affected the overall smoothness of the game.

Do you know how many off-ball fouls were committed in one season before the 2015-2016 season? There were only 2014 times in the 1015-179 season, but what about 2013-2014?Less, but 115 times, this level is considered to be within the "tolerable" range.But in the 2015-2016 season, off-ball fouls directly soared to 400+ times, more than the sum of the previous three seasons, which made the league executives a little bit intolerable.Therefore, in 2016, a new generation of "No Shark Cutting Rules" was introduced.

But Tang Qian doesn't know about these, because his "memory" is only up to the eve of the start of the 2015-2016 season, and he hasn't even seen the first regular season game of the 2015-2016 season. "He has no way of knowing.But if the new generation doesn't know, it's impossible for the old generation not to know. In 02, in order to "prohibit the hacking of sharks", the league issued a rule that no intentional fouls on players without a team are allowed in the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter and the last 2 minutes of overtime. If you insist on intentional challenges, the ending will be It is the "tragic consequence" of two free throws and one throw.

But what about before 02?There is no such rule.

and so……

If you are cut, you can only get 2 free throws at most, and you will no longer have the right to "one throw".

In this way, the opponent's "conspiracy and trick" will be considered a complete success.

The Lakers are also doomed to lose.

It is meaningless to complain about the rules. What I have to do now is to calm down and find a countermeasure.

Otherwise, both myself and the Lakers will be "lost and defeated" and become a fate that can never be reversed.

After "Tang Qian" got the referee's pass, he took a deep breath, and his brain started to run at super speed.

PS: The next chapter will end this paragraph. What aspects can the protagonist improve in the 7 cruel and ruthless finals?You can guess for yourself~
Xiaozi will continue to code for the next update, I hope everyone will vote for it~ give me some motivation~ because things at work are really annoying, and Xiaozi also adjusted for a long time after returning home every day before she dared to start coding~ After all, Xiaozi is just an ordinary person~
