Basketball starts with breathing

Chapter 249 Shark cutting started from the beginning 【Subscription】

It was also seen that the Bulls want to speed up!
But what everyone is not sure is whether the Bulls are simply speeding up, or whether they want to hit and run.

To measure whether a team "runs and shoots", it mainly depends on whether its scoring method is mainly based on sports fast break or a solid half-court position attack, and whether its defensive tactics are mainly point-to-point man-to-man or zone-based. It mainly focuses on double team defense; its transition rhythm between offense and defense is fast or slow, and so on.

The first goal of "running and shooting" is speed.

Running tirelessly is a great way to bring down your enemies—at least when you're bombarding your way.

Few can keep up with the rhythm of a "run-and-gun" team unless it's equally as "run-and-gun".

This kind of offense-defense tactic can often lead to wonderful games and rout opponents by big scores - which is also a strong guarantee for the box office.

In the regular season, this tactic works -- no traditional team changes lineups for a sprint win, and once you disrupt them, you've got two-thirds of the way. Victory.

However, while appreciating the hot competition, people tend to forget that speed is also a double-edged sword. While dragging down the enemy, it will also drag down oneself.

When the hand wind is very smooth, fatigue is often easily overlooked, and the physical problem of the chaser is always the first to manifest; but if the opponent has been prepared for a long time, if you suppress your attack speed with tough defense from the beginning, Let the fast attackers reduce the frequency and change the rhythm, then the first team to collapse is the "running and shooting" team.

The playoff series is long, and opponents have plenty of time to adjust to your rhythm and make targeted adjustments.

So no one believes that the Bulls will use a run-and-gun strategy in the playoffs.

Cartwright didn't dare to really hit and run, he just let the players speed up a little when attacking, but the attack time of 9 seconds was still beyond his expectations.

It seems that the effect is also good.

The Lakers attacked, Fisher first passed the ball to Kobe, and he stood at 45 degrees on the right side, and then cut into the inside suddenly, O'Neal blocked Richardson with one step at the horns, Fisher got rid of the ball and passed Fisher. Zell scored with a pick from the right.

4 is better than 2
Except for the fast-traversing centers like Garnett, Gasol, and Nowitzki, most of the insiders are afraid of small empty cuts because they turn and traverse too slowly.

Fischer is 203cm tall, not tall, but he is very heavy. Once he is thrown off by Fischer, he will definitely not be able to catch up.

And the Bulls' defensive focus is on O'Neal. As long as O'Neal doesn't play, everything is easy to say.

Let the others score, it's okay to score, O'Neal has to die.

The Bulls attacked, and this time they fell into position. Although the halftime took less time than before, the Lakers' defensive placement was completed.

Lu Yu called for a cover, Miller mentioned a high position, Lu Yu brushed past Miller's body, Kobe was blocked, and Kobe chose to bypass Miller's defense.

Just after he went around, he found that O'Neal also chased Lu Yu and left.

Leaving Miller alone to stand above the free throw line.

"Oops, I missed someone!"

Kobe wanted to get back on defense, but it was too late. Miller made a catch and made a 4-4
The Lakers attacked, and they played the same routine just now. Fisher made an empty cut and received the ball, but this time Richardson caught up and he could only pass the ball to O'Neal.

Just as O'Neal was about to force a kill, Fezel pulled him down with a direct foul.

Zhang Lili said: "O'Neal hasn't reached the penalty area yet. Fezel's foul is unreasonable. Is it possible that he will start slashing sharks?"

Sun Yiping was also stunned: "It's unlikely, it may be Fezel's unintentional foul, let's see how O'Neal's free throw goes."

In the boos of the Bulls home fans, O'Neal missed the first free throw.

Followed by the second penalty.

He was about to make a free throw when suddenly a beautiful fan across from him pulled his neckline down a bit. There were two red cherries on the white snowflakes. O'Neal shook his hands and tightened his legs to show respect.

Directly fined a three non-stick.

Miller grabbed the rebound and threw it directly to Lu Yu. Lu Yu pushed forward like a cheetah, passed Kobe Bryant with his back, and rushed into the basket. Fisher's mantra could not stop Lu Yu at all. Lu Yu forcibly took off and rode in Fei. Scheer slammed the ball into the head!
"God, what did I see, Lu Yu's dunk!"

"The Bulls are on fire!"

"What's the use of starting up, it's not that we can't beat our Lakers."

The only group of Lakers fans on the scene obviously provoked public anger, and all Bulls fans wanted their team to slap them in the face.

6 is better than 4
When the Lakers attacked, Kobe shot from the free throw line, Lu Yu sealed his eyes, and it was a report.

In the second game, Lu Yu relied on his fiery touch to avoid the interference of closed eyes.

But in the second game, he was still very uncomfortable under Kobe's defense. Don't look at scoring so many points, don't look at such a high hit rate, Kobe's defense made him unable to connect the team, and this was the key to losing the second game.

He is the core of the team's offense and defense, as well as the team's playmaker. If he is just a scorer, he will not become a player like Jordan, he will only become another Durant.

Kobe shoots hard.

O'Neal grabbed the rebound and was just about to attack for the second time, but was pulled down by Fezel.

In just two rounds, Fezer fouled twice.

O'Neal went to the free throw line, hit one of two free throws, and the score was 6 to 5. The Bulls replaced Fezel and replaced Oakley.

Lu Yu attacked and singled out Kobe to dribble under his crotch to change direction. Kobe thought he would make a quick stop and jump shot. Unexpectedly, it was a pick-and-roll again. Lu Yu accelerated to kill inside. The other Lakers players still did not shrink, only O'Neal followed, Kobe Then it went to Miller.

Miller took the ball, ignored Kobe's defense, and shot directly.

hit!

8 is better than 5
Miller roared like a big white bear.

he made it!

Lu Yu was also secretly excited. The tactics before the game were completed, and the next thing to see is the reaction of the Lakers.

When the Lakers are attacking, Kobe always has a way to create opportunities. Even if Lu Yu can keep up, he can only interfere as much as possible. It is difficult to block shots.

It's a pity that he also has a name, the little blacksmith.

Basketball strikes iron again. In fact, Kobe is not inaccurate in his shooting. He has to face the opponent's strongest defensive perimeter player in every game. It is indeed difficult to be accurate.

The Bulls attacked again. It only took seven seconds for Lu Yu to get inside the three-point line. The Lakers obviously didn't react. They didn't expect that the Bulls' pick-and-roll would not be in place at all. Germany.

Shaquille O'Neal was worried that Miller would hit again, and obviously raised it a bit. Lu Yu simply ignored him and went to the basket with his left hand and picked the basket.

Also incidentally caused Kobe to foul.

2 + 1
Free throw hit.

11 is better than 5
Zen Master, who was originally sitting on the sidelines of the old God, couldn't sit still. He called a timeout for the first time. This was the first time that Zen Master called a timeout before the Bulls played in the finals for the first time.

Even in the first two games, Zen Master didn't call out much at all. Every time he waited for the official suspension or Cartwright to call, he arranged it by the way.

You come and go between the two sides. Kobe was even more aggressive when defending Lu Yu. He was not allowed to have an easy pick-and-roll opportunity. Lu Yu made a three-point strike. He was not a must, but the position was too good. I believe in the feel of today's hand, but when I shot it, I was careless. I was rubbed a little by Kobe's finger, and the basketball changed its line.

At 5 minutes and 13 seconds, Lu Yu succeeded in the shot, and the score was 17 to 9. No one expected that the Bulls would be the leading team today.

Shaquille O'Neal began to show his power and played hard in the interior one after another. He didn't make assists as casually as usual, and his teammates were blocked and had no chance. Only he played hard to create opportunities.

But after turning around, he bumped into Oakley's body.

The referee blows the whistle.

Foul by the Oakleys.

Another foul? !
At this time, Zhang Weiping finally determined that the Bulls were going to cut sharks. What surprised him most was that the shark cutting started from the first quarter.

O'Neal angrily complained to the referee: "They did it on purpose, such a game is so ugly, how can such a foul be tolerated."

The referee was also speechless. I blew every foul. Do you blame me for not getting the penalty?
It seems that anger brought the BUFF, and O'Neal hit one of two free throws again.

He looked at the Bulls bench provocatively, "Come on, as long as you dare to foul, I can make a penalty. I don't believe that your entire team has been sent off, how can you foul!"

Cartwright didn't bother to pay attention to him, there was nothing to be proud of in one of two free throws.

17 is better than 10
The Bulls served directly, Lu Yu attacked with the ball and was interfered by Fox. Although he didn't score, it was a good signal, indicating that the Lakers had begun to shrink their defense. Oakley grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Ahn in the corner. Tester.

Artest stood in the bottom corner, raised the ball with both hands, shook Fisher, and then distributed it to Richardson at a 45-degree angle. Richardson stabilized, raised his hand and shot, and the basketball swished into the basket.

20 is better than 10
The Bulls have a double-digit lead.

After that, Lu Yu kept moving, draining Kobe's physical strength. Kobe kept up with him and passed the ball to the perimeter. When he waited for the next opportunity, he played much easier than the previous two games.

O'Neal didn't dare to flank Lu Yu like the previous two games.

Because Miller is so accurate.

Two minutes later, Lu Yu got another chance. Kobe broke through the penalty area and missed a layup under the interference of the big man. Miller grabbed the rebound and made a pass to launch a fast break. Richardson scored the ball. Lu Yu sprinted to get rid of Fox , A single fast break dunked the basketball with both hands and scored.

The Bulls made the last attack in the first quarter. Lu Yu calculated the time. After changing direction, he made an emergency stop and didn't make a shot. After shaking Kobe, he jumped forward and hit him, causing Kobe to foul. He pushed the ball to the basket with one hand. He was very lucky. , or that his hands were really hot today and the ball was scored.

The referee blows the whistle, 2+1
Kobe received his second foul in the first quarter.

Zen master complained to the referee off the court: "He is cheating and fouling, how can he jump forward when shooting, what is the difference between this and diving?"

Referee: I understand the truth, but this is a foul. If you don’t believe me, go check the referee rules?
陆余加罚命中，单节拿下12分1篮板4助攻，力压7分2篮板1助攻的科比，公牛32比20领先12分。

In the second quarter, Kobe went to rest. The master was mainly afraid that Kobe would be troubled by fouls.

But in this way, it broke the regular rotation of the Lakers. Under normal circumstances, the second quarter is to let O'Neal rest and recover, but they have not encountered this situation in the regular season.

There are two options.

One is to let O'Neal also rest and let the bench consume a few minutes with the opponent.

But it is clear that the Bulls are fully prepared today. Once O'Neal goes down, the Bulls will definitely spend the game in one go. They don't have to wait for O'Neal and Kobe to play, and the game may be declared as garbage time.

Of course, the third quarter may also catch up.

However, Zen Master is obviously not willing to take risks, and chooses to let O'Neal take the bench to play for a while to see the situation.

However, O'Neal is obviously also "foul troubled". His foul trouble is different from Kobe's. When he is foul troubled, no matter which Bulls substitute, as long as O'Neal gets the ball, the nearest player will definitely be a foul.

Get O'Neal to the free throw line.

The Zen master can't see it like this. O'Neal makes a free throw and makes one of two free throws. Even if he hits one of two free throws, he will only have one point. If the opponent turns back and scores two points, it is equivalent to changing his opponent's one in two rounds. round.

Not worth it!

Simply replace O'Neal and let the two main players rest.

As a result, at this time, Cartwright did not plan to send all the main players to play the game, but grinded with the opponent. The scores of the two sides rose alternately, but the difference remained at the top.

It's not that Cartwright doesn't want to play the game, but that he doesn't want the main team to consume too much energy in the second quarter. The speed increase was a double-edged sword. In the fourth quarter, when the opponent counterattacked, his team members lost their energy.

Lu Yu felt that Cartwright was conservative.

At least he can play a wave on the court. He is confident in his physical strength. After all, his nickname of the wolf seven times a night is not for nothing, and when he plays the NCAA, he often plays the whole game.

But there are advantages to playing like this.

In case, in case Kobe explodes, it's really hard to do if I don't have the physical strength.

And if a player like Kobe really explodes, you can only watch, after all, he is a man who can score 81 points in a game.

It's better to keep some physical strength and keep your hands steady.

The Bulls led 60-45 at halftime. At halftime, many basketball experts were still not optimistic about the Bulls, because the Lakers had avoided the risk of Bryant's foul after this quarter, and Kobe and O'Neal will return full of blood in the third quarter.

The Bulls' speed-up tactics are easy to crack in Zen Master. For a head coach who has experienced so many games, this kind of tactical change is just a pediatric.

He's not Van Gundy's type of head coach who has to keep cheat sheets.

Master Zen really figured out how to decipher the Bulls' speeding up. It was nothing more than a delay in the frontcourt and a one-star quadruple. This was easy for the Lakers. What gave him a headache was that the Bulls had already voted today, and his own Defensive formation, is it shrinking, shrinking, or shrinking?

Perhaps, you can fight a wave without shrinking!
The Zen master gradually had an idea...

　Thanks to book friends 2022624205253051 for the reward!I wanted to take a leave of absence today, but then I thought that everyone must be waiting. I insisted on finishing it. I went to bed first, and I will take my mother for an MRI tomorrow morning, and I will come back and update it!
