Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 144 It’s not the Mavericks’ fault, it’s the team that put it in the Western Conference Finals!

“It’s unrealistic to try to prevent the Lakers from scoring defensively with the Mavericks’ starting lineup that is full of holes.

If you want to compete with the Lakers, you still have to look at the offensive firepower of the Mavericks?
Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, but was pressed by Payton. Unable to move, he chose to pass the ball to Tan Yang on the right, and then cut to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line without the ball. This was basically a copy of the Lakers. The team's triangle offensive tactics.

Tan Yang passed the ball to Nash like kicking against the wall, and then broke through with the ball.

Oh no, Nash looked to the left, but passed the ball to the right.

Walker in the corner caught the ball, he was free, he pulled it out, raised his hand and attempted a three-point jumper..."

It is said that O'Neal's dominance in the penalty area is excellent, but the subtext also shows that a shark swimming out of the penalty area is like a shark leaving the ocean.

Whether it's offense or defense, that overweight physical fitness will be a double-edged sword. It is impossible to expand the defense. It can only be because Walker's three-point shot is not regarded as alive.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

“Yes!!

The Mavericks' offensive state at the beginning is called a full draw! !
O'Neal will have a headache. Indeed, he can wreak havoc on the basket at will in the penalty area. With the Mavericks' inside combination, there is no way to stop his impact.

But defensively, facing two All-Star-level evasive inside shots, O'Neal was also unable to guard against them. He could only defend with his eyes and then gamble.

Obviously, he lost the bet this round..."

2 to 7! !
Off the court, Jackson Jackson still looked sleepy in response to this.

The question is, the closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate. Lu Xun's words are true.

O'Neal's attack in the penalty area was a punch to the flesh, and Walker floated and shot from the outside. Although it was painful to hit the vital part, the three-point attack was not yet mainstream.

Mid-range shots and basket attacks are the most important, and they are the weapons that can kill the game.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Lakers attack.

"Leave the basketball to Kobe, and Payton also brought Nash's defense to Kobe.

Next, there will be a showdown between the 96 golden generation.

Oh, after Tan Yang blocked Kobe's pass to Payton, he chose to flank Kobe with Nash.

This is not giving Kobe a one-on-one opportunity!

Let’s see what Kobe will choose?

He pulled it up, he was about to shoot, oh no, he flicked it in the air and passed the damn basketball to Payton who was cutting in from the air.

After getting the basketball, Payton immediately sprinted towards the basket, he was in the end, he was about to shoot..."

At this time, O'Neal under the basket showed good basketball intelligence and used his huge body to block Walker's assist defense. Malone on the right also realized O'Neal's idea and also blocked Nowitzki. The Lakers The two big players were stuck in the penalty area. Neither Walker nor Nowitzki could move at all. They could only watch Payton make a complete layup with ease.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

4 to 7! !
Like a warm-up exercise, Payton sent the damn basketball into the basket.

On the commentary table, Barkley also shook his head when he saw this scene.

"Nash's perimeter defensive loopholes are everywhere on the court.

Tan Yang tried his best to help wipe his butt, but he would only focus on one thing and miss the other.

This is an unsolvable problem, and besides, it’s Old Nelson’s choice, so how can you save it?
Even if Susu comes, it’s very likely that he won’t be able to save him…”

Not even a possibility, but a certainty.

Old Nelson's face on the sidelines was solemn, but he remained unmoved.

The key to winning is not the details of defense or the process of the game. The key is whether you can shoot the damn basketball offensively.

O'Neal's inability to defend against outside flaws cannot be said to be exactly the same as Nash's defensive flaws, but they can only be said to be very similar.

Then the Mavericks moved to the outside to shoot and score. Did they also think it was O'Neal's defensive problem and take him off the court?
Basketball is a team sport. Complementing each other and cooperating with each other are the true meaning of basketball. Relying on one person to solve all problems is not real basketball, it is just a pile of cards.

So, Nash is not the main problem.

The main problem is still your own. You have to ask yourself, have you done your job well and made the shot?
Therefore, it is impossible to remove Nash.

On the court, the Mavericks attacked, Nash took the ball to the frontcourt and continued to distribute the ball to Tan Yang.

"Oh, this time, Nash chose to cut to the basket without the ball instead of pulling to the wing.

At the same time, Walker withdrew to the right bottom corner, Finlay sank to the right bottom corner, and Nowitzki moved to the top arc. Next, let's see how Qin Yang will deal the cards?

He moved, and Tan Yang also moved toward the top arc. He blocked Malone, who was closely guarding Nowitzki, and the basketball was handed over to Nowitzki's hands.

The Lakers' defense was dismantled, and it was the Mavericks' extremely space-stretching formation. Nowitzki caught the ball, pulled it out, and shot it, and he shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Kobe was very active in switching defenses. However, with a height of 1 meters, in front of a tall man of 98 meters, no matter how active he was, it was of no use. He could only listen to the sound of gunshots, and it was impossible to block shots.

Swish-!
"OMG!!

Still on target! !
The Mavericks' shooting at the beginning of the game was so explosive. Walker and Nowitzki hit unreasonable three-pointers one after another, which blasted the Lakers' defense and it was so confusing.

This situation is very unreasonable and unscientific, but this is Nelson's ambition to collect an all-star offensive lineup.

It is to use farther, more accurate and longer-lasting shots to smash the opponent's defense and make a complex game simple.

I want everyone to know that when it comes to shooting battles, the other teams are all younger brothers..."

Nelson clenched his fists passionately on the sidelines.

At this moment, the players on the court were playing basketball as they had imagined.

Can win, can beat every ball.

If the Mavericks can make every shot, they won't lose?
Offense wins popularity, defense wins championships?
What kind of nonsense is this? As a scientist who likes to attack to the point of madness, he is not convinced!

4 to 10! !
The score difference became 6 points, and the Mavericks' offense was full of firepower.

However, faced with this situation, Jackson on the bench still didn't seem to wake up.

Asking means leaving the game to the players on the field. He has nothing to teach his disciples on the field.

In the triangle offensive system, if you get unlimited stars for a one-on-one duel, oh no, it is an opportunity for the superstar to challenge the opponent. If you can kill the opponent in the unlimited one-on-one duel, it is impossible for them to lose!

The formula for winning has been laid out, and the players on the field can execute it themselves. As for mastering the situation and rhythm on the spot, that is not necessary.

It's not the key to deciding the game, so there's no rush.

This is Phil Jackson's style!

Tactical adjustment is impossible.

Not to mention, Zen Master still has something, oh no, there is something in the Lakers' lineup.

"Double clicking again is a routine operation!

Payton controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then, as a tool man, handed the basketball to Kobe Bryant on a 75-degree three-pointer on the left wing. At the same time, he also brought Nash's defense in front of Kobe Bryant.

Payton chose to pull to the side, and he made an air cut. Tan Yang chose to defend. Payton withdrew again, and then Kobe rushed in instead.

Nash's defense was tight, and Kobe was in the end, and he rushed to the basket for a layup..."

Swish-!
Knife dropped, goal scored.

Kobe easily put that damn basketball into the basket.

After the goal, Kobe spread his hands and said that the defense was in vain!
But this is the attribute that cannot be guarded against.

If you wipe his butt, it will be easy to focus on one thing and not the other. If you don't wipe his butt, others will beat Nash as much as they want. Payton and Kobe are like two bottles of poison on the outside.

No matter what the Mavericks choose, there is only one big word "death".

On the commentary table, Kenny Smith shook his head after watching it.

“It’s not the Mavericks’ fault!
What's really wrong is the team that put the Mavericks on the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

Good guys, they put an offensive team that is only good at playing in the regular season into the Western Conference Finals.

It’s not surprising for fans and spectators to see the regular season on the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

On the stage where defense wins championships, if a team that relies on offense and jump shots to win is mixed in, it will be regarded as an outlier. Seeing this kind of poor defense, it makes sense..."

Offense and jump shots may become mainstream in 10 years.

Now it's like two different channels, one AM and one FM.

6 to 10! !
The point difference became 4 points.

In the transition from offense to defense, Nash caught the ball from the baseline and was immediately pressed by Payton.

"coming!!

On defense, the Lakers strengthened their physical confrontation.

They obviously don't want the Mavericks to continue to play this kind of offensive state no matter how they shoot.

It would make sense to increase contact with or without the ball..."

At this time, it was just the G1 game on the floor of the Western Conference Finals. The referee did not have much bias in blowing the whistle, and chose to blow the game according to the regular playoff standards.

In Tan Yang's view, physical confrontations without the ball will be called fouls more than ten years later. In the 2004 playoffs, it is impossible to call fouls.

Under the rhythm of such intense muscle confrontation, the Mavericks' starting five reached the fourth quarter. It was a miracle that they were able to stand on the court. It was too difficult to raise their hands to send the damn basketball into the basket. This question was too difficult. .

On the commentary table, Barkley nodded and said calmly.

“If it’s the regular season!
The Lakers' next game is unlikely to be against the Mavericks, so physical strength from the beginning to the end is unnecessary.

But if it were to be a playoff series showdown, under a format where losing would mean going home, it would be impossible for the Lakers to give the Mavericks an easy shooting environment.

As for the physical exertion?
If you are sent home to fish, you will have a lot of rest time. If you don’t work hard now, you will wait until later..."

On the court, facing Payton's pressing, Nash struggled to advance to the frontcourt. Unable to move, coupled with the Lakers' frequent physical contact, he could not even organize a good offense.

There was no choice, as long as the basketball general was given to Tan Yang to support him, he chose to continue pulling towards the basket without the ball.

"It's another position to stretch the formation to the extreme and let Tan Yang hold the ball and deal the cards.

Next, let’s see how the Lakers break through?
Kobe pressed closely against Tan Yang, swaying left and right, but Tan Yang still couldn't find a chance to escape.

Nowitzki moved over, trying to connect, but Malone blocked his position tightly and could not catch the ball under the confrontation. Nowitzki could not provide any help at all.

Oops, while Tan Yang was protecting the ball with his back, he directed Walker to move to the right corner to cover.

Finally, with the help of two-on-one cooperation, Walker blocked Kobe, and Tan Yang broke through with the ball..."

O'Neal couldn't defend, and there was a situation of overplaying and underplaying. The Lakers could only choose to make up for the leaks and switch defenses. Fortunately, they had just worn out the position and there was not much time left for the Mavericks to attack.

"Tin Yang broke through and O'Neal defended him.

Oops, what the hell?

Tan Yang looked at Nash who moved to the right corner and chose to send the basketball into the sky.

Beautiful, Finley cut in without the ball, jumped high from the basket, and dunked with both hands when he got the ball..."

Bang-dang——!
After Finley hit a goal that almost beat the buzzer, he immediately roared and beat his chest. Facing the strong defense of the Lakers, the Mavericks' offense held on and continued to gain firepower.

“Nice job!!

Not only was Finlay scoring a beautiful goal, but Tan Yang's grasp of the organization of the game was also very nice.

Facing the defensive pressure from the Lakers, Tan Yang played steadily and calmly.

In this game, the Mavericks can continue to take the lead in terms of score, and it is indispensable for Qin Yang's organizational management.

He organized the Mavericks' offense in an orderly manner..."

6 to 12! !
The point difference is still 6 points.

Outside the court, the Zen master woke up and cast his gaze on Tan Yang, but quickly looked away.

To put it bluntly, the Lakers don't care about the Mavericks' downwind scoring.

He only cares about scoring in headwind games.

Now the players on the Lakers are increasing physical confrontation on defense, and they are anxious to drag the game into a headwind game.

In other words, it lowers the Mavericks' offensive level.

and then?
In a headwind situation, the Lakers' superstars become the key to victory.

In terms of the ability to play key balls, with the OK combination in hand, plus Payton and Malone, it is now an F4 card. The Lakers dare to be second, but no one dares to be first.

Hong Kong Zhen, slow and sustained endurance is not the real skill. Fast sprinting, extreme physical exertion, and endurance in difficult postures are the real skill.

Far away.

Looking back, the Mavericks' defensive strategy also changed.

I saw Payton passing the ball to Kobe and moving to the left three-point wing. Whether it was Nash facing Kobe directly or Tan Yang switching to guard Payton, they all shrank inward.

“This is the rhythm for the Lakers to shoot three-pointers!
When it comes to shooting, the Mavericks still have enough confidence.

Next, let’s see how the Lakers will break through?
Hey, O'Neal brought it out, came to the corner of the paint, received Kobe's pass, and then wanted to dig in, oh no, he just wanted to open up space.

The ones who really attacked were Payton and Kobe. They used O'Neal holding the ball as the axis and moved toward the basket without the ball..."

Change, movement, space! !
These are the three elements of the triangle offensive tactic.

Payton moved to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Kobe on the left, and moved outside the three-point line, forming an offensive triangle with O'Neal in a position under the basket.

When the Mavericks' defensive formation changes, the offensive triangle under the Lakers' triangle offensive system can also be changed.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup has no fixed axis. Perhaps anyone can become the axis.

"O'Neal passed the ball to Kobe on the right, oh no, a fake shot, and he passed the ball to Payton on the left.

He took one step with the ball and reached the end. Tan Yang followed closely.

Oh no, Payton passed the ball. Malone rushed in, received the pass from Payton under the basket, and rushed to the basket for a layup. Tan Yang couldn't protect the basket at all..."

Bang-dang——!
With one hand, Malone received Payton's pass and dunked easily to score.

The Lakers' offense is also firing on all cylinders.

8 to 12! !
come on!

Let’s hurt each other! !

The Lakers are also an elite team that is not afraid to compete offensively with any team.
