Chapter 159 The Nuggets' Rogue Tactics

On the next attack, the Nuggets put up a formation that no one could understand.

O'Neill and Nene both mentioned the high position and stood at the horns.

Of course, Gasol and Anzhu also followed out with puzzled faces.

Anthony ran from the left 45 degrees to the top of the arc, and Li Ran made an air cut to the inside from the right 45 degrees.

Billups came out of the baseline with the ball and passed the ball to O'Neal at the corner.

It looked like an air cut move, but the next moment, Li Ran's move made everyone's jaw drop.

After he cut into the paint from the right at 45 degrees, O'Neal passed the ball to him, and then Li Ran jumped from between O'Neal and Nene to the outside line.

What reverse breakthrough operation?
This is not over yet, during the period when Li Ran was catching the ball and running from between the two to the three-point line, O'Neill and Nene actually ran towards each other, like two closed gates, shutting Kobe inside the free throw line. .

When Li Ran came to the outside line, there was no defensive player in front of him. O'Neal and Nene firmly stuck Kobe, Gasol, and Anzhu inside.

Jump up and shoot.

Li Ran has an elegant posture, a standard hand shape, and the ball goes into the net without any suspense.

The moment Kobe was blocked by O'Neal and Nene, everyone was stupid.

How can you still block people like this?
But if you say that O'Neal and Nene are mobile pick-and-rolls, it really doesn't count.

After all, they only moved after Li Ran passed between them.

Phil Jackson looked at the referee subconsciously, but the referee did not respond.

The law enforcement of this game is one of the NBA's most famous whistle-Steve Javi.

Jia Wei is also very tangled in his heart now.

The ashes-level referee who has been in law enforcement for 25 years can't tell whether the Nuggets' tactic has violated the law.

From the running position, there is no problem with this tactic.

But this tactic is too stupid.

If it is a normal response, this tactic can be called unsolvable.

"Steve, is their tactic really okay?"

Jackson once called to Javie to ask him when he passed by him.

As a top coach, Jackson has this qualification.

Jia Wei shook his head: "The other party didn't violate any rules."

When Li Ran came out again for the second time and made a three-pointer at the top of the arc without any defense and hit it again, Phil Jackson called a timeout without hesitation.

Kobe wiped the sweat off his face and thought about how to crack the Nuggets' tactic.

He knew that Phil called this timeout to solve this problem.

"Strengthen the marking on Li Ran. If he goes around, Trevor, you can make up for it." After reassuring the players, Phil Jackson gave his own advice on how to deal with it.

Li Ran triumphantly accepted the praise from his teammates.

This is the tactic he told George Karl yesterday, copied from the tactic specially designed by Steve Kerr for the Splash Brothers during the Warriors dynasty.

Elevator door tactics!
Li Ran can be sure that this tactic will be banned by the alliance for a while.

And the reason why this tactic was banned by the league in later generations was not because of his violations or violations, but because this tactic was too buggy to cooperate with the Splash Brothers.

The timeout ended, and the Nuggets walked onto the court full of confidence.

Still familiar with the running position, while the Lakers fans from Los Angeles in the stands booed the sky, they were also tangled in their hearts, whether the Lakers could guard against this somewhat rogue tactic.

This time the Lakers made up the defense very quickly, and Ariza stuck in front of Li Ran at the same time he passed the door.

However, he forgot who his defender was.

Li Ran wasn't the only one who chose the elevator door.

Li Ran pushed the ball aside as soon as Ariza came over.

Anthony once again enjoyed the feeling of being unmarked.

Ariza, who was defending him, ran away, wouldn't he be unguarded?

The Nuggets scored four three-pointers in a row and stopped the Lakers twice in the first 3 minutes.

Phil Jackson had a severe headache. Of course he knew how to draw inferences from one instance to another. Even if Fisher, who was defending Billups, made up for it, it would just give Li Ran an extra pass option.

Billups' three-pointer can't be released either.

Because of the emergence of the elevator door tactics, this game was not as anxious as the previous two games. After the first half, the Lakers had fallen behind by a full [-] points.

李然成为了今天掘金表现最活跃的球员, 他上半场11投8中, 三分6中4，罚球3中3，砍下23分6篮板3助攻。

Anthony followed with 15 points and 4 rebounds.

The Nuggets scored a total of 63 points in the first half, and the two scored 38 points.

The power of the elevator door can be seen.

But this tactic is not without its weaknesses. Its weakness is that the team needs at least two three-point shooters, and the inside line of the horn needs to have a certain organizational ability.

But the Nuggets really meet this condition.

When the Warriors played this tactic, it was Dream Chaser or Iguodala who dealt the cards at the horns. When the Nuggets played this tactic, it was O'Neal and Nene who dealt the cards.

Don't think that O'Neal has no organizational skills. He averaged 3.8 assists per game in his career season, and he even had a triple-double in assists when he was in the Heat.

As a top center forward, he can't be called a top center without first-hand support skills.

At the very least, it would be no problem for the four major centers to randomly pull out a one-star lineup.

In addition, the door between him and Nene is much more lenient than the door formed by Chasing Dream and Iguodala.

Phil Jackson couldn't think of a solution for a while.

In the third quarter, Li Ran continued to play, Anthony sat on the sidelines to rest, and the player who ran with Li Ran became Szczerbiak.

At the end of the three quarters, the game is basically settled.

The Lakers were led by the Nuggets by a full 21 points at the Pepsi Center.

Li Ran scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists at the end of the third quarter, which is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to this game.

In the end, the Nuggets beat the Lakers 115-95 and pulled back a game.

With a one-to-one score, the Nuggets head to the Staples Center.

That night, the Lakers coaching staff stayed up all night.

They spent the night looking for a way to counter the Nuggets' inappropriate tactics.

The elevator door screen consists of two actions: "door opening" and "door closing".

At the same time, the reason why this screen can create a three-point shot for teammates is that the defenders stand on the side of the screener's body, thus giving the off-ball running players a chance to complete the screen catch.

This set of tactics is not without restraint. At least when facing the elevator door tactics used by the Bulls led by LaVine, Kawhi Leonard, who was in the Clippers at the time, gave a perfect solution. .

But, that's Card Jordan.

Even if he doesn't play, he is still Ka Jordan.
