NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 326 Tactics Against Li Shengli?

There is basically nothing to say about the Jazz's starting lineup.

It is worth mentioning that Tyrone and Bond did not appear in this game, and David Benoit and Jane Fuhenlis replaced them in the starting position. The reason for this arrangement is because Jerry Long was very dissatisfied with the defensive performance of Tyrone and Bond in several games.

There is a saying, in the NBA offense depends on talent, defense depends on attitude.

Although this statement is not absolute, as long as you have an attitude and are willing to fight hard, your defense will never be bad. Crotty is the best example, and the Jazz's current main offensive position is inside, and the only thing they can perform on the outside is defense. However, Tyrone and Bond's defense is not strong enough.

On the contrary, Benoit has found his own position. He doesn't have much desire to attack, but his desire to defend is overwhelming. Just one hand of trash talk is enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

As for Jane Fuhenlis, he is very eager to play, and as long as he has desire and desire, his performance will not be too bad. In Sloan's view, this guy, as a former backup shooting guard, can also make up for the outside line to a certain extent. shot.

……

Back to the Sonics starting lineup.

Center Elvin Johnson, power forward Sean Kemp, small forward Detlef Schrempf, point guard Gary Payton, shooting guard Kendall Gill.

There is nothing else to say, the only surprising thing in this lineup is... the center position is actually this season's rookie with the same name as the magician Irwin Johnson?

You must know that this buddy averaged less than 10 minutes per game in the regular season. It can be seen that the Sonics do not pay attention to him, and this time he is the starter in the crucial playoffs. Li Shengli delivers food.

Wanting to use Erwin to limit Li Shengli, is this just thinking about farts?

Even if George Karl asked Kemp to play the fifth position, everyone could understand it, but it was really unimaginable for a first-year rookie to directly fight against Li Shengli, who was in full swing.

……

The midfielder jumped the ball, and the gap between the two centers was reflected.

Li Shengli's big hand had already touched the ball, but Erwin's head was barely even with his creaking hole. Whether it was the reaction, timing, or the instantaneous explosive power of the lower body strength, they were all blown apart.

The Jazz attacked in the first round.

Crotty held the ball for half the court, got into the penalty area under Malone's pick-and-roll, and then handed it to Malone, who was running down, kicking off the ground to complete the dunk.

Seems easy?

Stockton and Malone's pick-and-roll tactics have always been the Jazz's classic signature, and Li Shengli watched Malone easily dunk dunks without any obstacles, and felt that this game, at least this quarter, was not under pressure.

Offensive and defensive change sides, supersonic attack.

Gary Payton is nicknamed 'The Glove' because of his deep defensive skills, but his other abilities as a point guard cannot be ignored. Facing Jane Furhenlis with the ball at the top of the arc, he easily changed direction and swayed past.

"Crotty, help!"

"Leave it to me, look at me!"

Furhenlis and Crotty completed the communication in an instant and exchanged defensive targets. In this short period of time, Gary Payton, who was on the inside line, seemed to have a back of his head. back throw.

"Jill!"

"Roger that!"

Crotty ran towards Gary Payton, and Fuhenlis hadn't rushed to the defensive position. Jill's shot this time was very good, and because his position was only one step away from the three-point line, the shooting distance was not too exaggerated Under such circumstances, it is the most sensible choice to take a step back and shoot a three-pointer.

Swish!

Hollow brush net!

He just scored a goal, and it's not a touch, but it can be seen from Jill's face...he is still quite confident.

……

"All keep an eye on my own people, and make up the defense faster!"

"Don't worry about those who are close to the restricted area, leave it to Li and Karl!"

"Run, run, show some momentum!"

The Jazz hit the first shot very easily, and the Sonics also hit a backhand, which was also easy, but the former scored two points and the latter three points. It doesn't sound like much, but I'm afraid that such a small advantage will accumulate. So Jerry Sloan yelled at the players from the sidelines, reminding the defense.

……

Back to the Jazz offense.

The Supersonic's defensive arrangement probably made a little sense, because after Li Shengli received the ball, the opposing center Irvin showed an extremely excited state, and Detlef at the small forward position also leaned forward, adding another With Kemp staring at him and slowly approaching, the two teamed up with Erwin to double-team Li Shengli.

Irvine is 2 meters, Detref also has 11 meters, plus a 2 meters Kemp, the average height of the Supersonic penalty area defense is quite good, and George Karl probably saw that the Jazz had no four or five position, and the attack power in other positions is insufficient, so the tactical idea is probably... Two people double-team, and Kemp is ready to join the team at any time?

It is estimated that George Karl used Irwin as a meat shield and a rebounder. Instead, Detref, who originally played the fourth and fifth positions, let him play the small forward, and the range of activities was free within the three-point line. , Outside the penalty area, the defense can cooperate with the center, and the offense can avoid Li Shengli, so as to ensure the efficiency of shots to the greatest extent.

Can double-teaming be useful?

Li Shengli does not believe in evil!

Although Irvine used all his strength to fight against Li Shengli, Li Shengli still hated him. After Detref was in place, Li Shengli directly distributed the ball to Benoit who was waiting on the other side.

It's not that this shot cannot be played forcefully, but it is the most economical and reasonable to distribute the ball to open teammates. Jerry Sloan on the sidelines looked at Li Shengli and nodded secretly, but then he started to curse... because Ban Nott made an open shot, and Detref, who returned to the defense, had no time to defend, this guy still hit the iron!

Although the rebound was taken off by Li Shengli and a dunk came along the way, it still couldn't cover up Benoit's mistake. Even if hitting the iron is not counted as a turnover data, but hitting the iron in the open... This will make Sloan feel more angry than the turnover data.

……

The game continues.

After playing back and forth for a few rounds, the Supersonics double-teamed Li Shengli as always, and after Li Shengli gave Benoit the ball three times and hit the iron three times, he almost cursed, because the most reasonable point was under Benoit's iron. It seems very unreasonable.

Hit!

Faced with double-teaming, Li Shengli can only choose to fight hard!

However, problems also emerged, because Supersonics center Irvine is not only a meat shield and part-time rebounder, but also a big player in foul data. It is completely the victim of George Karl. It was all added to Li Shengli.

Fortunately, Li Shengli maintained a stable performance in free throws, and he made 8 of 6 free throws. On the other side, Malone hit Kemp at a 26-[-] score. Fuhenlis also made a small number of shots. The Jazz scored [-] points in the first quarter.

In contrast to supersonic.

George Karl is undoubtedly an old fox. He made a sacrificial meat shield and double-teamed Li Shengli with Detref. is nice.

Because Detlef's range of activities is outside the penalty area, avoiding Li Shengli's defense, and his height is also dominant in the matchup, and his offensive shooting from the basket goes smoothly. Kemp, who was [-]-[-] with Malone.

So, the Jazz had 26 points, but the Sonics had 30 points.
