NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 146 Don't Panic, They Changed Itself Back

In fact, having said that, Phil Jackson has nothing to panic about.

Isn’t it just an enhanced version of the Princeton system?

It's not that I haven't seen the Kings play Princeton, so there's nothing to panic about.

Moreover, in order to forcefully beat Princeton, the Kings moved their strongest point, Chris Webber, to the outside, so there is no need to panic.

At the beginning of the 21st century, it was the era when the NBA was most superstitious about positional warfare and low positions.

Didn't you see that the Suns, which played well in the "7-second offense", were forced to introduce Shaquille O'Neal, who had already begun to decline after being rejected in the Western Conference Finals?
Why would a run-and-gun team bring in O'Neal?
Are Cole and the Suns management and coaching staff all fools?
Don't they know that O'Neal is not suitable for the running and bombing Suns at all?
they know!

But they still have to resolutely introduce O'Neill.

Because everyone firmly believes that a team without positional warfare and low-post toughness cannot win the championship!

What does O'Neal have to do with the incompatibility of the original tactics?
The team can run and bomb when O'Neal is off the court, and play low attack when O'Neal is on the court!
The whimsical Phoenix people paid a heavy price for their decision, falling directly in the first round of the playoffs, and Kerr took the blame and resigned.

Of course, we all know the story behind it. Cole decided to rebuild a team in Golden State that focuses on perimeter offense. This was the touching moment when Nash kissed the FMVP trophy.

Cole and Nash finally succeeded, but now, no one will think that the King's tactic is reliable.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings led by 30 points at 24:6 on the road, but Phil Jackson and the Lakers coaching staff felt that the problem was not big.

You see, Divac and Webber made 7 of 2 shots from beyond the three-point line. Except for the two of them hitting a three-pointer at the beginning and scaring the Lakers, didn't they show their true colors later?

The hit rate is not yet 30%!
This is enough to prove that this tactic of the Kings is unreliable!

O'Neill and Kobe also felt that the coaching staff's idea was completely right.

But what the Lakers' coaching staff and players didn't think about was why the Kings' two inside three-pointers were so low, and the Kings were leading in the first quarter?
And the Kings also put on a substitute in advance!
Regardless of the fact that Divac and Webber's shooting percentage is 7 of 2, but converted into a two-point shooting percentage, it is 42.8%, which completely exceeds their long two-point shooting percentage.

After Divac and Webber pulled out, O'Neal had to leave the basket, which led to Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu, two meters tall, grabbing more offensive rebounds.

If O'Neal was still under the basket, would they have their share of these rebounds?

Under this "strange" tactic, Lu Yuanzhi, Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson also got a lot of opportunities to shoot at the basket.

But the happy time is always short. At the beginning of the second quarter, O'Neal took a regular break, and the Lakers moved their undrafted player from the bench, 23-year-old Stanislav Medvedenko from Ukraine.

Medvedenko is 208 centimeters tall. If he were an American, he would probably be 211 or 213 centimeters tall to make himself appear taller and more intimidating.

However, most international players do not receive this treatment.

You can't wear five pairs of socks like those native American blacks, and then tell the black staff who measure them, "Blacks should help blacks."

It is impossible to enjoy strange preferential treatment in the NBA without the correct skin color!

However, Medvedenko's weight has reached 113 kg, which can be regarded as a qualified inside tank, but he has the same problem as most European insiders, and his moving speed is slow.

Divac and Gasol are special cases in Europe. They move very quickly, faster than most black American centers. They also have basic skills they have practiced since childhood, and they suddenly stand out.

Medvedenko's skills are not bad either, and his mid-range shooting rate remains at about 4% at a time, and he also has a good shooting rate from beyond the three-point line, but his clumsy movement and insufficient defense hold him back.

In the second quarter, the Lakers' lineup was center Medvedenko, power forward Samaki Walker, small forward Fox, attacking guard Kobe, and point guard Lynch Hunter.

Faced with such a lineup, the Kings, of course, can no longer put on a Super Princeton formation. The lineup in the second quarter was also adjusted to center Pollard, power forward Webber, small forward Turkoglu, offensive guard Christie, and point guard. Beebe.

Weber really had no chance to rest.

But fortunately, in the first quarter, Webber mainly responded from outside the three-point line, and his physical consumption was not large. This is the moment when he went to the Lakers inside to overwhelm the river.

In the second quarter, the Kings attacked first. Webber changed his style of playing on the outside in the first quarter and directly entered the inside position.

The coaching staff of the Lakers looked at this situation, and they were also secretly proud:
I just said that the Kings played Xia Jiba in the first quarter. Look, didn't they just switch back now?

changed back?Isn't that because Shaq is gone?

Such a weak insider, I don't let Weber go digging, I'm sorry for Weber's offensive talent inside!
Weber easily trapped Walker behind him, got the ball at a 45-degree angle outside the paint area, and then started his performance again.

The Kings players skillfully screen each other, run wildly, and slip into the basket when they find the right opportunity.

Without O'Neal protecting the rim, the Kings' lineup doesn't need to expand so much. Even if Medvedenko stands not far from the rim, he can't effectively protect the rim.

Bibby threw off the old Hunter and cut to the basket. Walker couldn't help taking a step towards the basket, trying to stop Bibby's air cut.

How could Weber fail to catch such an obvious defensive error?He turned back, threw away Walker who was defending him, and rushed straight to the basket from the middle.

Medvedenko sensed Weber's attacking intention and quickly returned to defense.

But what's the use of a heavy inside lineman who can't run fast or jump high and come to help defend him at this time?

Weber didn't care about Medvedenko's defense, jumped up in the penalty area, pressed Medvedenko, and dunked the ball into the basket.

"beep-"

The referee blew his whistle as soon as the two sides made physical contact.

Defensive foul, the goal is valid, and a penalty kick is added.

Medvedenko looked innocent.

Isn't this to help defend?
Why did you send a two plus one to the opposite side?

Therefore, a center without athletic ability is not so good at assisting defense!

If you assist in the defense, not only will you not be able to stop the offensive player, but you will also have a high probability of giving the opponent a free throw.

Well, old Duncan was the lesson learned the hard way.

After Duncan almost lost his athletic ability, he still actively assisted in defense, and finally made himself a famous background board.

If Duncan's awareness of assisting defense was even lower, he wouldn't have to suffer so many beatings.

Hey, how arrogant you are when you are young, how much debt you have to pay when you are old, and you will have to pay back sooner or later when you come out to mess around!

ah?Medvedenko is only 23 years old?
Oh, he is just born with a background, and he is still not famous.

Weber steadily made extra free throws, ready to start his personal scoring rhythm.
