The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 319 The epoch-making super team
It's not about missing people.

When the ball got to Davis, the Cavaliers had already switched their offensive lineup.

LeBron immediately started to cut and run. His position was on the right side of Davis. In just two seconds, he had "thrown away Lin Dong" and rushed to the three-point line in the frontcourt. He was in front of and behind him. It was empty.

This is an excellent attack opportunity at this time. As long as Davis passes the ball, the ball will almost certainly be scored.

It's a pity... he chose to give up defending LeBron and steal Davis' ball. Lin Dong knew very well that for this former Cavaliers star who thought Wade and LeBron were assisting him, this first good start He will never pass the ball.

The bet turned out to be right.

Brent's pressing on the left side took away most of Davis' attention, and he naturally stole the ball easily.

The essence of running and gunning is to be fast. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, this not only means that you can score more points, but also means a rhythm, a rhythm that you are familiar with but your opponent is not.

Fierce pressing is the biggest defensive feature of run and gun, which is big movements.

Even if there is a loophole due to a big move and the ball is not intercepted, allowing the opponent to get rid of your defense and easily score points, that can be regarded as an 'effective defense', after all, you have won valuable time.

Swish!
Realizing that his speed was being blocked, Lin Dong passed the ball without hesitation.

And there is only one will that supports him to do all this, and that is to defeat Lin Dong!
Lin Dong ignored Wade's words and turned his back and made a sharp move to the left. Wade blocked him immediately, followed by a big pendulum clock under his crotch that changed direction to the right.

"Lin! Lin! Lin!"

The ultimate three consecutive changes of direction without slowing down. In the preseason game in Yanjing, even Jordan was almost thrown out, but facing Wade at this moment...

If it were Lin Dong in the past, facing such a defense, he would have to be stronger than him to score in order to be comfortable, but people will always grow.

Run and gun is a fast break, and it does not necessarily rely on one-on-ones or individual abilities to solve problems, especially at the beginning of the game and when the team has not yet established its rhythm.

Facing Lin Dong again, Wade's mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes.

I thought Lin Dong would make an emergency stop, change his moves, and... But the next second.

Payton held the ball and went straight to the basket. Boozer stepped in and defended without any pause. Payton immediately passed the ball to Desmond. The Cavaliers' defense was like an old cow's nose on a chain and was stabilized by the SuperSonics. Pulling, Zasunas immediately covered Desmond, and the latter jumped high, attracting Zasunas to jump up as well, and at the same time, he changed hands and threw the ball to Chandler under the empty blue.

But Wade is different. Looking from the perspective of a challenger, he won't have the worries of Jordan. He will just try his best for every ball. As long as he intercepts Lin Dong once, it is a success!
Driven by his will and mentality, Wade forced his center of gravity to follow Lin Dong's change of direction again!
Although it was not completely blocked, it was stuck diagonally in front of Lin Dong and moved quickly sideways. With the help of his arms and body, Lin Dong's inevitable breakthrough was slowed down.

Lin Dong had just started, when a lightning-quick figure swooped in from the side and in front. He didn't start to dig out, but his outstretched arms blocked Lin Dong's way.

The moment Lin Dong stole the ball, the audience burst into cheers.

This situation is too simple.

The unexpected cramp at the World Championships seemed to have caused him to lose the match against Lin Dong, but only Wade himself understood that from that moment on, he had transformed.

His skills may not be as good as Jordan's, but one thing is undeniable: he is younger and faster than Jordan!
What's more important is his absolute fighting spirit and challenger mentality when facing Lin Dong!
When Jordan beats Lin Dong, he looks at it from the perspective of being challenged. There will be a lot to consider. The next step and the next step after sealing this step are all things Jordan needs to consider, as well as the distribution of physical strength. , long-term planning, etc.

"Hi!" Wade's swollen cheeks cracked into a smile: "I won't get cramps this time!"

At this moment, Wade's legs seemed to be equipped with the most sophisticated mechanical shafts, and they were keeping pace with each other, but then they turned left again.

This new season, the Cavaliers can take first place in the Eastern Conference and maintain a record of winning 31.5 games, but it is definitely not a matter of bad luck, and his current average of 6.6 points and assists per game is definitely not based on the results before the World Championships. All he could do.

An exquisite pass was passed to Payton. At this time, LeBron, Davis and Brent were all in the frontcourt. Wade and Lin Dong were entangled. The Cavaliers' defense in the half court instantly formed a 2-defense-3 situation. .

But it only lasted two seconds.

The previous six-game losing streak at the start of the season was not in vain. If you still stay in the inertia of your high school basketball thinking, you may never even think about winning a championship in this life.

Chandler jumped up and dunked, easily scoring 2 points, 2:0, and the SuperSonics got off to a good start.

McMillan on the sidelines smiled and clapped. The ball just took less than 4 seconds from Lin Dong's steal to Chandler's goal. No one was greedy for even one second of the ball. Everyone had clear ideas and executed tactics. Determination was exactly the smooth state he wanted to achieve after studying running and gunning during this period.

"Ohohoh! Lin! Lin! Lin!"

"Supersonic! Supersonic! Supersonic!"

"Beep beep!"

The cheers, trumpets, and various drum noises suddenly resounded and reverberated throughout the Key Arena with joy.

Knight's ball.

Wade held the ball and walked through the midfield with the ball. Faced with Payton's close pressing, he did not choose to pass the ball out in a hurry. Instead, he maintained a steady rhythm and controlled the ball. He used up the time first and waited for the Cavaliers. Let’s talk after all the players are in position. At this time, Zasunas blocked Chandler in the paint, Boozer blocked Desmond at the free throw line, Davis responded to Wade's request for the ball at the top of the left arc, and LeBron seemed to Without any intention of being in the limelight, he pulled Lin Dong, who was guarding him, down to the right corner.

Facing Wade, who held the ball steadily and was not eager to attack, with his ball-handling ability, even Payton had nothing to do. Several forced shots failed to achieve results, and Wade steadily drained him to 12 Seconds later, he made a lob and hit the ball inside.

Zashunas played steadily from behind, but Chandler felt a little unable to withstand it.

Although the two have the same tonnage, Chandler seems to be slightly stronger, but due to the age gap and experience gap, the sophomore Chandler is still too green.

Desmond on the other side immediately wanted to join in and help defend, but as soon as he ran away, Zaxunas had already skillfully passed the ball to Boozer, who was missed, and made a steady mid-range hit. Enter.

The entire offense is slow, time-consuming, without any fireworks and can even be said to be a bit ugly, but that's still 2 points...

2:2, the Cavaliers tied.

The Sonics turned around and still played the ball quickly. Payton rushed in with the ball and was intercepted by Davis. He passed the ball to Brent. After Brent was blocked by LeBron, he immediately passed to Lin Dong.

Perhaps because he saw the Sonics' intention to play faster, or perhaps because of the triple change of direction just now, Wade was somewhat frightened. The moment Lin Dong caught the ball, he subconsciously took a step away.

Immediately he realized that this was giving Lin Dong an opportunity on the outside, and wanted to adjust immediately, but facing a historical scorer like Lin Dong, this momentary mistake was enough to kill him.

Lin Dong did not hesitate to get up at the three-point line. Although Wade had tried his best to defend, he was still unable to stop him. He could only watch the basketball fly over his head and then steadily get into the net. .

5: 2!

From the baseline ball to Lin Dong scoring three points, the whole process only takes about seven or eight seconds. It is extremely smooth and full of fun to watch.

The fans in the stadium were naturally jubilant, and when Wade slowed down the ball again, the home fans started to show their strength this time, and the audience immediately booed.

Whether it’s the NBA or any other basketball game in the world, goals are always what fans like to watch most. What tactics or tactics are none of the fans’ business? People buy tickets to watch all kinds of dunks, blocks, and passionate fights, not to watch you stick your butt and slowly control the ball through halftime. Besides, it's the visiting team. If not, who are you booing?
However, this little boo obviously cannot affect Wade at all.

It can be seen that the Cavaliers are fully prepared for this game.

Since Don Nelson pioneered this run-and-gun tactic with the Warriors, teams across the league have studied this style of play.

In the original version of the theory of run-and-gun tactics, both offense and defense were accomplished by the word "quick".

Not to mention the offense, the defense mostly allows the opponent's offensive players to make mistakes at a fast pace, so all kinds of vicious steals abound.

At that time, the effective countermeasures adopted by the league's teams was to slow down the pace of the game so that the "fast" character of running and gunning could not be used.

And once it is no longer 'fast', run and gun will not have any power.

Specific to actual combat, whether it is the 'twin tower tactics' to enhance the inside, or the blocking tactics to mainly block the point guard, as well as controlling the ball and controlling the rhythm on the offensive end, the engine that the run-and-gun team has just started will be Waiting for him to cool down, which is commonly known as physically cooling his hand, can effectively destroy the rhythm of running and gunning and prevent him from getting up fast.

And this is exactly what Wade and the Cavaliers are doing.

It's a pity... A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Dong's mouth. This Supersonics is not the Warriors in Don Nelson's hands.

Even, it is much stronger than the strongest sun that promoted the run-and-gun tactics in another world!
Because this Supersonics not only has the support of tactical theory from a later generation than the Suns, but in terms of tactical theory, it is between the Suns' run and gun and the Warriors' small ball. It is a brand new run and gun that combines the strengths of those two teams!
The Suns were clearly invincible in the regular season, but why did they repeatedly fail in the playoffs?

That's not just because the Spurs' twin towers are powerful enough inside.

More importantly, because the Suns only have one running and gunning organizer, Nash, while the other four teammates all play the role of offensive terminators. Once Nash is blocked and the organizer is missing, the Suns' fast pace will not be able to rotate. .

But this Sonics doesn't exist... Payton can be the organizer, Brent can be the organizer, and he can be the organizer!
This Sonics has 3 organizers and 5 offensive terminators. This alone is already much stronger than the Suns in another world!
The only thing lacking may be that Chandler still cannot face Stoudemire in the sun of another world. Of course, if Sakuragi can awaken...

Compared with the later small ball warriors, the small ball style of play was not feasible in this era. After all, small ball was based on the lack of outside confrontation after the subsequent NBA rule changes.

But this SuperSonics is not afraid of confrontation, and is also madly honing its outside capabilities.

In future generations, they may not be able to defeat the Warriors who are more adaptable to the rules, but in this era, Lin Dong dares to say that as long as the SuperSonics' inside line is tempered, even if the invincible Warriors who just got the death god Durant in 17 come, I'm afraid they can't beat this Sonics!
After nearly ten games of running-in, and more than a month of special training, except for Sakuragi, who still needs to prove himself, everyone else in the team has basically adapted to this style of play, and the combination of the Suns and The Warriors' supersonic speed will definitely bring a shock to this alliance. The previous tactics that limited run and gun no longer work!

shuh~
Wade once again helped the inside, and Zashunas scored the ball with a small hook from Chandler. At 5:4, the Cavaliers recovered two points.

But Payton and Lin Dong looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Payton made a tactical gesture to everyone.

With the warm-up over, it’s time to give them some color.

Doesn’t it mean that our SuperSonics can’t beat strong teams? I’m calling you today to show you how easy it is to control our rhythm!
