NBA: I Really Have No Talent

Chapter 252 : Strike a snake and hit seven inches, just make your whip beyond your reach!

At the end of the day, the second game of the finals between the Jazz and the Bulls began as scheduled.

The Bulls adjusted their starting lineup in this game, Dennis? Rodman was put on the bench. Tony, who has a stronger offensive ability? Kukoc served as the team’s starter.

It turns out that you want to defend Karl one-on-one? Ma Long, it is basically impossible, still have to carry out pressure-po type double-teaming.

The lack of Rodman’s offensive ability is definitely a huge flaw for the Bulls, who need players to share the scoring pressure for Jordan on the court. Even if its rebounding ability is really good, the Jazz’s offensive efficiency is very high. There are not so many opportunities for him to rebound.

With these in mind, Rodman was ultimately chosen by Phil? Jackson was placed directly on the bench.

Zen Master is going to take a look at the game against the Jazz, Tony? How effective is Kukoc’s debut?

As a result, the Bulls’ starting lineup for this game changed to Luke? Langley + Tony? Kukoc + Scott? Pippen + Michael? Jordan + Ron? Harper, sacrificing the strength of defense and rebounding, improved the team’s offensive scoring ability.

It looks like it’s going to play against the Jazz!

Similarly, the Jazz also adjusted the team’s starting lineup, Jeff? Hornacek was mentioned in the starting lineup, which further increased the team’s perimeter scoring points, while Wang Pan topped the small forward position.

This is also a common practice for the Jazz this season. Wang Pan has long been accustomed to being a small forward. With his strength and speed attributes, apart from his height and wingspan, he may suffer a bit, but he won’t have much else. problem.

Judging from the situation of the two teams in the first game, the Bulls defensive end likes to frequently change defenses and clamp BI, which makes it easy to have open positions on the court, especially outside the three-point line. As long as they operate properly, they have Wang Pan, Stockton and Hornacek are on the court with three basket players, and there is always someone who can get a favorable shot.

With related tactics, the effect will be even better!

Of course, how to use the tactics depends on the actual situation of the match and the arrangement of the own head coach.

From the subtle adjustments of the two teams’ starting lineups, it can be seen that both the Jazz and the Bulls are strengthening their offensive scoring ability on the court.

The fans and spectators who were aware of this situation suddenly had the same speculation in their hearts… This game seems to evolve into a confrontation battle again! 20 However, at the beginning of the game, the timing on the court was beyond everyone’s expectations. The two teams did not enter a state of confrontation. The strength and decisiveness of the Jazz and Bulls on the defensive end made everyone feel better. Surprised.

Just like this time, the Bulls went to the basket…

Running without the ball got rid of Pippen’s follow-up defense, Wang Pan quickly cut in and rushed to the basket, Stockton passed the ball directly, receiving the ball without stopping, facing the tall Tony? Kukoc jumped straight up.

The whole person directly crashed into the opponent’s huai, relying on his excellent core strength and physical coordination, Wang Pan’s center of gravity was not lost, holding the basketball in his left hand and preparing for the layup. Seeing that he was about to make a successful shot, Michael? Jordan suddenly appeared to his side, and slapped him on the arm with a heavy slap when he could not successfully block the cover.

The effort was not small, and the basketball was uncontrollable and flew out…

“Beep?!” The referee blew the whistle for the first time, and the thugs fouled.

“Old guy, can you be lighter next time?” Wang Panrou rubbed his numb left hand, his expression a little helpless.

Jordan looked as it should be: “To deal with you, you should be more vigorous.”

After all, without giving Wang Pan a chance to respond, he just walked away.

“Chopped up a bite. Actually, Wang Pan didn’t expect that guy would give a positive answer. He just complained. He immediately went to the free throw line. Seeing that his opponent’s attention was very concentrated, he knew that he couldn’t do any sao fucking. Zuo made two solid free throws.

The heart is quite helpless.

It took less than 3 minutes to play in the first quarter. This is the second time he has been on the free throw line.

As expected before the game, the Bulls defended him extremely tightly in this game, double-teaming and supplementary defenses are extremely fast, and the start is very decisive. Anyway, they would rather send him to the free throw line than give him. His chance to shoot.

Repaying virtue with virtue and grievance with grievance, the Jazz defensive end is the same.

Just like this round…

Without the slightest reservation, Wang Pan continued the [0U-style defense of the previous game, and the whole person directly tied up, constantly harassing and confronting Jordan. The defensive end is very crazy!

After learning the lessons of the last game, Jordan had no idea of ​​doing more with him in this game.

Obviously, Phil? Jackson had a special order, he didn’t need to look at him, Tony? Kukoc immediately stepped forward and blocked Wang Pan.

old? The exiles got rid of the defense and rushed into the three-point line. Carl? Malone switched defenses, but Jordan used the advantages of speed and flexibility to successfully get rid of him. Ron? Harper passed the ball at the right time, and as soon as he was ready to layup the ball, Jordan was flew out with a racket by Ostertag who had been preparing for a long time.

The whole person rushed out of the bottom line and almost fell.

“Beep?!” It was also a foul by a thug, and it was also a free throw.

Looking at Ostertag with a calm face, Jordan looked ugly, and Wang Pan stepped forward and slapped Xiao Ao.

Encouraged him for this behavior.

Suddenly it aggravated Jordan’s unhappiness, but when he thought that Wang Pan would always use this kind of thing to irritate his situation and the importance of this game, he forcibly calmed himself down, and reason finally prevailed. .

“Delete? Delete calmly walked to the free throw line, and Jordan made two steady free throws.

Current score 8: 8!

Tie points, 6 points of each team’s scoring are obtained through free throws.

This is the state of this game. The offensive end of the two teams has no continuity of the previous game. Instead, the defensive end has become full of qin. Players are frequently sent to the free throw line.

The viewing of the game is naturally not as good as the last game, but the fans and spectators still watch with relish…

“The two teams played offensively. This game looks like they are ready to defend?” This season’s free throw percentage is over 95%. Basically, as long as he stands on the free throw line, he can score. I think if this guy doesn’t do those free throws, his free throw percentage may reach 100%! “Don’t talk about the free throw percentage. When it comes to defense, it’s obvious that the Jazz will suffer. Their overall defensive ability may not even be top-notch, especially John Stockton and Jeff Horner. With Seck on the court. w” In fact, I feel that the Jazz wanted to continue to play offense, but the Bulls’ defense interrupted the rhythm and could only passively play defense. After all, The entire league knows that these Jazz players are not the ones who are willing to suffer. If someone else engages them once, they will get it back 100%! “”This must be admitted. It can only be said that the Jazz players are very united on the court. Just now Ostertag fouled Jordan’s powerful thugs, and most of them were venting the rookie king. Coach Jerry? Sloan shouldn’t allow this situation to continue. He must find ways to play at a rhythm he is familiar with. Now this game rhythm is too thin. ”

U 99 is just like what fans guessed and talked about, now Jerry? Sloan was very dissatisfied with the game conditions on the court. This was not the result he wanted. He unconsciously looked at the Bulls bench. Specifically, he looked at its head coach Phil? Jackson’s side.

It just so happened that the Zen Master’s gaze was also looking over, and his body seemed very calm, as if nothing could make him move.

I have confirmed the look in my eyes, they are all old foxes!

“Being put together by this guy.” Thinking of the intermittent offensive rhythm of his own team in the opening game, Jerry? Sloan frowned slightly, and immediately called the assistant coach Bacon on the side to give a face-to-face instruction.

Soon, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity that Wang Pan habitually ran from the sideline in front of his bench, Bacon called him and whispered.

He nodded clearly, saying that he knew that Wang Pan ran to the front court with a calm face.

Phil who saw this scene throughout? Jackson squinted his eyes, guessing Jerry? Sloan’s next strategy.

At this time, the Jazz already launched an offensive…

No longer running without the ball in the Bulls halftime as before. This ball, after Wang Pan got stuck outside the three-point line, took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Upon seeing this, Stockton, who had just seen Bacon whispering to Wang Pan, did not hesitate and passed the ball right away.

The knowing old horse immediately took Tony? Kukoc ran beyond the three-point line, opening up room for Wang Pan.

Don’t look at the four Utah Kings on the Jazz now, but the real core offensive point of the team is actually only him and Wang Pan. Stockton and Hornacek belong to the kind of need to have teammates help to contain them. Only the opponent’s defense can play the strength of the player.

So generally speaking, they are Wang Pan and Carl? After Malone’s two points were the first to open up the situation on the court and attracted most of the opponent’s defensive attention, Lao Si and Lao Huo began their personal offenses.

Now Wang Pan takes the initiative to ask for the ball, obviously Jerry? Sloan is ready to let him take the lead on the court.

Well, it should be like this.

Anyway, Phil, who has been studying Jazz tactics for a long time? Jackson thought so.

“Bang~bang? Bang?”

Facing Pi Erye’s strict defense, feeling that he was not inferior to Jordan, and even stronger, Wang Pan took a few shots from the three-point line and started suddenly without warning. In his first step, he easily won two positional advantages for himself, without any pause, and rushed straight to the Bulls basket.

Luke? Langley immediately stepped forward to make up for defense, and Pi Erye was chasing him closely behind him, but he was not thrown away, ready to reward Wang Pan with a big chasing hat at any time.

Outside the three-point line, see Wang Pan suddenly and resolutely, even with Jordan who defended Stockton, he couldn’t help but move two steps inward.

Be ready to scramble for basketball or rush for rebounds at any time.

At almost the same moment, Stockton started to move without the ball. Jordan, who was a shot slower, relied on his own speed advantage to catch up, but was blocked by Ostertag who ran out from the inside. , Suddenly something is not good.

But at this time, Wang Pan, who “sees death as home”, broke into the basket, but didn’t choose to take a shot, instead directly bypassing Luke? Langley ran to the outside of the three-point line along the baseline and attracted the Bulls’ great defensive attention. He raised his hand and passed the ball to Stockton who had a chance on the outside line.

“He caught the ball and shot, Stockton made a decisive three-pointer, Jordan hurriedly hurried, but in the end he couldn’t catch up.

Can only watch Stockton helplessly to complete the shot.

The basketball traversed a straight arc in the air, with a clear spin, came to the sky above the basket, and fell straight into it.

After hitting a three-pointer, Wang Pan and Stockton returned to the defense and hit the palm, simply celebrating.

Saw this scene throughout, the Bulls coach Phil? Jackson was no longer calm and confident, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he thought: “No, it shouldn’t be.”

However, in the next few rounds, the scene he least wanted to see happened.

I saw Wang Pan began to break through with the ball constantly, while Stockton and Hornacek on the outside line were running without the ball on the outside line in good time. Carl? Malone and Ostertag are more of helping with the pick-and-roll, the former will also make mid-range shots when they have the opportunity.

But the Jazz’s main offensive scoring method is something that no one has thought of… three points!

That’s right, it is the three-pointer that is not taken seriously in this era!

The reason is simple, because the Bulls have the weakest three-point defense!

Strike a snake and hit seven inches!

The most feared thing about the Bulls’ pressing double-teaming is that the opponent has a three-point shooter on the flank, because as long as they double-team, 100% of them will have a player in the open state, if it’s a three-pointer. In the line, the defensive strongmen with outstanding mobility on the Bulls field can also make up for defense in time.

Once it is outside the three-point line and the space is enough to open 400, then it is really beyond the reach!

Cha Cha Jazz is a stable and outstanding player with the three-point ability that opponents fear most.

This season Wang Pan averaged 3.3 three-point shots per game and hit [6 goals, with a shooting rate of 48.4%. If not for the poor three-pointer ability at the beginning, the wave shot seriously reduced the shooting rate. He was almost non-empty afterwards. The casting style, as well as the bonus of the God of Vacancy, may have a hit rate of 60% or even higher!

Jeff? Hornacek and John? Stockton averaged 2.7 3-pointers per game during the regular season, which were able to kill and draw. With 3 goals and [2 goals, the hit rate reached 46.6% and 42.2%, respectively, and the hit rate is very good.

Last game Jerry? Sloan saw this flaw in the Bulls’ defensive system. After a little experiment, the effect was outstanding. I was very grateful that he had changed the inherent old concept from the beginning of the regular season and paid more attention to the team’s The training of the three-point shooting ability is related to the development of related tactics.

But he was holding back his last game so hard!

In the last quarter, the team has been leading the score, so that he did not expose the three-point game. In this game, the Bulls were so strong and targeted on the defensive end, and the retraction was very obvious. The outside line often appeared large open space, Jerry? Sloan wasn’t ready to bear it anymore.

To see the poor again, is to use three pointers to kill the opponent!

Looking at Jeff on the court? Hornacek and John? Stockton constantly relied on running without the ball, as well as the old horses and their pick-and-rolls to get open shots. Wang Pan is a strong intrusion, attracting the attention of opponents inside players’ defense, and can always accurately play The basketball is sent out.

The skill of precise positioning revealed its power at this moment.

In the case of uninterrupted, basketball has a high probability of being able to enter the hands of his teammates according to his ideas.

With the excellent performance of Lao Huo and Lao Si outside the three-point line, the Bulls’ defense can only be expanded outwards, and defensive attention has also shifted to the outside. Wang Pan and Carl? Malone immediately had room to play.

All of a sudden, the Jazz inside and outside bloomed, changed the “ugly state” of free throws in the early period of the first quarter, and played an extremely fierce inside and outside offensive.

Phil? Jackson’s face changed drastically, and he called two timeouts in succession, but to no avail.

Because the Jazz has excellent outside shooters, Wang Pan’s breakthrough and long-range shooting ability, Carl? Malone’s post-up singles and face-to-face shots have a high success rate. Just sending a defender is obviously unstoppable unless there is a problem with their own state.

But obviously, there is no problem with Wang Pan and Lao’s competitive state tonight, which is very difficult.

Ever since, it seemed to the audience and fans that the Bulls actually felt like they were going to be blown up in the first quarter, even if their offensive efficiency is not low, but the difference in points has been unstoppable. Expanding, this is a very mental attitude.

Fortunately, the mentality of the Bulls players is about to burst at the tipping point of zha, and the first quarter of the game is over.

You can breathe slightly.

But when everyone saw the Jazz’s single-quarter score in the first quarter on the scoreboard, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Is this serious? ! ?
