NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 482

The holiday break is over.

When the second quarter debuted, the Mavericks' lineup remained unchanged, but the Bulls... Phil Jackson took Luke Longley and Ron Harper, using the library who played well in the previous game. Koch and Cole, as for the Bulls' offense, Jordan was still the starting point of the tactics. Before Crotty and Kidd formed a double team, they made a bold shot and successfully scored one.

Looking back... What everyone is most looking forward to is actually the offense of the Mavericks and the defense of the Bulls.

When the Mavericks' lineup was just opened, Rodman took the initiative to mark Li Shengli, and Kukoc chased Garnett.

The tactics remain the same, Kidd passes Garnett first, and Garnett is obviously much easier to deal with Kukoc than Rodman, but it can be easy, and easy does not mean crushing.

Garnett's turnaround jumper did not score, making the basket once again entered the rebound chase.

Li Shengli vs. Rodman? !

To be honest, Rodman's physical fitness is much more solid than that of Luke Longley, and his positioning ability is also top-notch, and this rebound...

Rodman predicted the landing point, stuck in the position, and took off in time, but his height of 201 was still flawed, and Li Shengli picked it out on his head.

According to the original plan, Li Shengli was going to make a second attack, but this time it was not as easy as before. Rodman frantically fought and counterattacked. Although he was still at a disadvantage, it also delayed Li Shengli's shot.

During such a gap period, Kukoc rushed to cooperate with Rodman to double-team, and the entire Bulls defensive system once again became a routine to cut off the connection between Li Shengli and Garnett.

Damn, why did you go back to the rhythm of the first game?

Li Shengli suddenly felt the rhythm change, seeing that he couldn't pass it out, he could only move his footsteps lightly, and shot a jumper outside the penalty area.

Swish!

It's okay to go in, but it's a bit reluctant to go in.

After hitting the board, the ball wobbled twice before falling into the basket.

……

"The situation is a bit bad?" Although the Mavericks scored in the end, Curry frowned and said to Gordon on the bench, "Phil Jackson still wants to play the first game." Defensive mode, Lee's pressure is much greater."

"The problem came up. I expected this kind of result, but I didn't expect Phil Jackson to react so quickly, and this... the real contest began."

"Can I just pray that Li's CIC will be broken?"

"Not necessarily. Every position is what I look forward to. I can't and I don't want to let Li bear all the pressure."

"Then can I go?"

"Wait and see!"

……

The Mavericks' tactical arrangement is to use Garnett as the starting point of the offense to pull Rodman away and destroy his rebounding function. At the same time, it also creates opportunities for Li Shengli to crush the Bulls' inside line in all directions.

With the huge gap in strength at position [-], as long as Li Shengli gets an offensive rebound, he must quickly end the battle and grab the shot before Rodman double-teams. The key lies in the time difference in between.

However, Phil Jackson directly called Rodman to defend Lee Victory.

For the Mavericks, take this Bulls attack as an example. Although Li Shengli picked up the offensive rebound, the second attack was delayed, and the time difference between the shots before the double-teaming disappeared, and it was a G1 game. rhythm.

Conversely, for the Bulls...

Offense is never what they worry about, inside defense is, and the reason why Phil Jackson didn't do this in the first quarter is really because he wants to give full play to Rodman's strengths in the fourth position and strive for the best rebounding effect.

But after Rodman's effect couldn't come out, Phil Jackson gritted his teeth and directly took Rodman to face Li Shengli.

The height difference between the two is huge, which can be seen by deaf people. However, even if he can't defend the rebound, Rodman can still delay Li Shengli's second attack, wait for Kukoc to come over and form a double-team inside, and knock out the small The crushing time difference that cattle rely on most at present.

To insist on the shortcomings of this defense, it can only be said that the height gap is too large, which is not conducive to the Bulls suppressing Li Shengli's mid-range shot, but even if Li Shengli's mid-range shot rebounds, Phil Jackson is not afraid, because... the mid-range shot Li Shengli is a first-line center, but Li Shengli at the basket is the real God, and turning God into a first-line center is worth sacrificing some of Rodman's functions.

……

Played until the first half.

The Mavericks' offense has indeed slowed down. Phil Jackson voluntarily gave up Rodman's advantage at the [-]th position and let him go to the [-]th position to be beaten. Exaggerated, but the Bulls' own offense became smoother with Jordan's efforts.

Verse 39:27.

Verse 27:33.

The effect of the coach's game has been highlighted. Although the Mavericks still lead by 6 points at halftime, the sad thing is... the offensive end has slowed down, and even the defensive end has problems. I couldn’t hold Jordan down any longer. In the second quarter, Jordan scored 20 points alone, in return for Li Shengli’s 20 points in the first quarter. Although Li Shengli scored 13 points in the second quarter and his total score exceeded 30+, his personal advantage could not become the team’s advantage.

The second half of Game [-] was a meltdown for the Mavericks.

The second half of the second game also went the same way. In the third quarter, the Mavericks couldn't hold down Jordan on the outside, so Gordon played Jones and Crotty, and McLeod, Curry, and Kidd chose the three again. Double-teaming, even if the two sides are missed, the problem is that Jordan is too cruel, and the result of not preventing him is more serious than the side leakage.

collapsed.

Completely broken.

In the third quarter, Jordan's scoring slowed down, but Pippen broke out beyond the standard, took over the offensive banner, and both opened fire with Cole on the other side.

Li Shengli grabbed Rodman and beat him for two and a half quarters. Garnett also had some advantages against Kukoc, but he couldn't stand up to the Bulls' core Jordan who gave the other four people the opportunity to fire. Until the end of the game... ...The Mavericks lost by 6 points, and the G2 game was lost again.

Li Shengli's stats of 50+22 are astonishing, and what's even more astonishing is that the Mavericks still lost after this statistic, while Jordan tied his scoring record in the finals with 55 points, not much less.

As for the game itself...

It's a bit like a G1 game, but it's different from a G1 game. It's not that the point difference in this game is small, but because both sides maintain a high level of performance, the advantage still belongs to the Bulls. Li Shengli and Jordan are both sides. The defensive focus, but the handling after double-teaming requires the support of teammates. On this point... the young Mavericks are at a disadvantage.

Seriously, aside from the first quarter, the Mavericks' entire game has been downhill, and it's likely to become the norm, so unless Gordon sits on the toilet to inspire, the third This game is definitely worse than the first two games, and the most likely result is that the Mavericks will never get out of Dallas again this season.
