NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 476 Playing a [-]/[-]

During the break, the atmosphere in the Mavericks rest area is serious.

In fact, starting from the first round of the playoffs, the Mavericks' road to promotion is quite smooth, but although they are only temporarily behind by 4 points in the first quarter of this game, it doesn't look like much, but the problem is that the Mavericks played very hard in the first quarter. Even if it's smooth, it's still lagging behind.

Now the real situation is... It's not that the Mavericks didn't play well enough, but the Bulls played too well.

……

"Crotty, stick close to Jordan, your only task now is to stare at him!" Gordon stared angrily, obviously dissatisfied with Crotty's defensive performance in the first quarter, but he also knew that Crotty Not Gary Payton, the pressure to defend Jordan alone is too great.

"Kidd, put Harper on your side for a little while. Others can shoot, but Jordan can't. As long as he holds the ball, you go to Crotty to double-team. McLeod, you see the situation yourself, and participate in the nearest one. Double-teaming, if the position is far away and Pippen shows me, don't be afraid of fouls, don't be afraid of fouls.

As for Li, you and Kevin should remember that according to the positioning habits of the Bulls, there are basically two people on the left and right under normal circumstances, and Jordan usually stands at the top of the arc. It will cause leakage, and the result is only two...

First, if Jordan chooses to shoot, the Bulls will play a pick-and-roll for him, pay attention to the position where he splits, and all the people nearby will go up and hold him. Vote, foul depending on the situation, try the referee's scale first, and I will tell you about this later.

Second, if Jordan scores the ball, according to their positioning, the final point of scoring the ball is likely to be in the left and right corners. I don’t require you to defend the three-pointer, but the shot not far from the penalty area must be You want to beat me down, so Li, you and Kevin must defend quickly and don’t waste any time. If Li is nearby to help defend, Kevin, you must guard the basket and watch their scoring routes. Break it if you can. Similarly, if Kevin is nearby to help defend, Li... your task is the same. "

Obviously, Gordon's emphasis is all on defense.

The positioning distance of the Bulls' triangle offense is far away. The problem of choosing to double-team Jordan will cause leakage of defense in other positions. It is how to deal with the ball after double-teaming Jordan.

If Crotty, Kidd, and McLeod are double-teamed, Li Shengli and Garnett will take on the task of 2 defenses and 4 defenses.

2 against 4?

To be honest, even the gods have to kneel when they come.

However, there is no perfect defense in this world, and there is no perfect defense. The Mavericks must make a choice, using the top short-distance movement speed of Li Shengli and Garnett to intercept the mid-distance and selective abandonment of the other four Bulls. long distance.

For the Mavericks, there is good news.

Rodman's offense has always been weak, which gave Garnett more room for defense; as for Luke Longley, he was stunned by Li Shengli when he came up. But the problem is that there is only one ball.

Li Shengli is on a business trip, and Garnett can make up for Luke Longley.

Garnett was on a business trip, Luke Longley joined Rodman, and he had to shrink back when he met Li Shengli.

……

The general layout of the Mavericks is like this, but the layout belongs to the layout, the actual fight depends on the execution ability, which is also the meaning of the pause, and amidst the cheers of the audience... the second quarter started.

The bulls go first.

After all the members were in place, they immediately opened up the formation. Jordan at the top of the arc was still confident, and he didn't even use the pick-and-roll. He faked and swayed Crotty, and Crotty was shaken. He adjusted his center of gravity and immediately retreated. At the same time... De and McLeod also came up, and the three finished double-teaming.

"Okay, we can see that Jordan is double-teamed again."

"This is the superstar treatment. No one will choose to let Jordan go. It depends on how he plays."

"It's the most reasonable to split the ball, and that's also...he split it, it's Pippen!"

In the live broadcast room, the old, middle-aged and young people were staring at the game screen, and after Jordan was double-teamed, he was indeed divided, because this was a three-person double-team, and he must and should be divided in the Bulls system.

"Damn, is Garnett running so fast?"

"Go, he went, Garnett's defense depends on these long legs."

"This... Pippen didn't have a chance to make a shot. He passed it to Harper, but Harper's position is not good. If he wants to dribble again, it will delay time. Li Shengli, go to him."

"Oh, it was a fight. Why did it pass to Rodman? The three who double-teamed Jordan over there dispersed. Rodman passed to Jordan and was... intercepted?"

The Mavericks' defense was perfect this time. The three double-teamed and actively forced Jordan to split the ball, but the ball was indeed split. The first pass was Pippen and Garnett made up for it. Deman didn't make a shot, and passed back that Jordan was cut off by Kidd.

……

"Amazing, the Mavericks' defense is amazing!" Sun Zhengping subconsciously praised.

"Indeed, the Bulls' rhythm is too procrastinated. The more passes there are, the more mistakes will be made. The mid-range defense supplemented by Li Shengli and Garnett is too strong. This result can be expected." Xu Jicheng nodded.

"When the Mavericks attack, the Mavericks suppress Jordan, and the Bulls also have to suppress Li Shengli. Let's see their arrangement. If they can't suppress Li Shengli, the Mavericks will have a better chance of winning this game." Su Qun was a little excited, and his Excitement represents the mood of the vast majority of the audience.

Back to the Mavericks offense at this point.

Kidd advanced with the ball, Jordan's defense was strong, but the Mavericks' outside shots accounted for a very low proportion, and he pulled Crotty around for a few laps without a chance, so he directly handed the ball to Li Shengli.

Taking the ball from a high position, Li Shengli faced the basket and worshiped Buddha. Luke Longley was just about to jump and found that he was being tricked. After adjusting his body, Li Shengli had already rushed to the basket sideways, and at this time... Rodman had already guessed this move. Go to Li Shengli's offensive route in advance to block, with Luke Longley and **** who are chasing after him.

To be honest, Li Shengli's treatment was like this in the first quarter, and it was not considered a special arrangement by the Bulls, but when he chose to pass it to Garnett, he was careful.

What will the bull do to himself?

In addition to this double-teaming, it is also necessary to cut off the route from which he passed the ball to Garnett, so he first faked and threw it to Garnett, and at this time... Harper and Jordan flew to this route, and Luke -Longley also turned around and ran away, and Rodman was left alone under the basket in an instant.

It takes time to react. Even if this time is short, it is enough for Li Shengli to do the trick. With his back and footsteps, he did it in one go. He turned sideways to the basket, and easily put the ball...into the basket.

……

"It's reasonable, it's too reasonable, this shot is too reasonable, Li Shengli guessed the meaning of the Bulls stealing the ball, fake pass, footsteps, back-up movements, this set is too smooth, it's almost like the basket Offensive artists." Sun Zhengping did not hesitate to praise whether bragging about one's own people counts as bragging.

"Amazing, indeed amazing. To be able to stand firm in a top league like the NBA, especially inside, Li Shengli's physical fitness is already exceptionally gifted, but his brain is not ordinary, and his reaction is too fast."

"Yeah, let's see which side has a better suppression effect now!"

"Keep watching. The Mavericks' coach Gordon has a good arrangement, but Phil Jackson on the Bulls' side is not easy. I watched some of this game."

……

Back on the field.

The Bulls' offense was indeed blocked. It had nothing to do with the state of the players, but the Mavericks' defensive formation was so chaotic. The three of them attacked Jordan when they saw it. The inner circle defense formed by Li Shengli and Garnett completely overwhelmed their offense. Outward, the lower the hit rate, the lower the hit rate. Although no obvious effect can be seen in a short period of time, if the number of shots is increased, the slight gap in the middle will appear.

In contrast to the Mavericks' offense, what Phil Jackson needs to suppress in the interior is not only Li Shengli, but also Garnett who does not join the team inside and directly shoots cold arrows outside. However, Li Shengli is weaker and Garnett is better. , this routine can't achieve this effect, but in fact... Both of them are in peak condition, which prevents the bull from being completely crushed to death.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks were only 4 points behind, and everyone was surprised.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks went ahead by 2 points, and because of the increased defensive strength, the score in this quarter was not as good as the first quarter. The first half was scored 53:55, which means that the second quarter was 20:26. Leading by 6 points in a single quarter made everyone feel incredible.

What does it mean?

The Mavericks even played a [-]-[-] with the Bulls?

Although it is normal to have back and forth in the finals, the problem is that the Bulls this season are not a normal team and have reached new heights, and the tenacity of the Mavericks is indeed impressive and makes the game even better There is suspense.
