Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 36 Pacers: Big Bird Tactics?

If Reggie Miller's off-ball technique is a beautiful drift and flick, a perfect combination of technology and art, then Kobe and Hamilton's off-ball technique is rough cross-country running, with no technique or art at all. , To put it bluntly, it is running.

Use uninterrupted running to swing the opponent, and at the same time achieve the goal of injuring the enemy eight hundred and self-injury one thousand.

The fight is that Kobe lost [-], and his physical fitness is still half. Miller lost [-], and his physical fitness has bottomed out.

With the four veterans of the Pacers on the court, Billups was not in a hurry to let O'Neal take the ball and attack.

Bang Bang Bang Bang a few times, O'Neal finished playing, the Pacers players were not mobilized enough, and the Lakers' physical advantages could not be brought into play.

So, Kobe and Miller staged a cat and mouse chase.

Run backwards, circle people, change direction...

On the left side, Bryant threw off Miller, and the weak side received a pass from Billups.

Lift the ball, start it, dribble and break into the basket.

At this time, it was Schmitz who was switching defenses against Kobe in front of him. Like fat Yao Ming, he was slow, slow to move laterally, slow to turn around, and not good at physical confrontation.

Kobe rushed to the paint area, pulled the ball up, and wanted to make a one-handed dunk.

Relying on his height and length, Schmitz desperately blocked Kobe's rush to the basket.

In the air, Kobe faced the blocker's big hand, stretched and stretched, dodged the blocker, replaced his right hand with his left hand, and dunked hard towards the basket.

Bang-dang-!
Gorgeous wonderful dunk, Bryant succeeded in two points.

beep-!
The referee's whistle sounded, and Schmitz's block slapped Kobe's arm. This is a 2+1!

At the free throw line, Kobe made a steady free throw.

5 to 5! !
This is the difference between Kobe playing with the ball and Hamilton playing without the ball.

Without the ball, you can open up the battlefield at will, or shoot, pass, or break through, and you can adapt to the situation.

Facing Hamilton's shit-stirring off-the-ball, there is no way to defend.

In the face of Kobe's... well, the destructive power is all-round.

Of course, the goals of Hamilton and Kobe are different. He is more inclined to physical attacks. The target is the stomach, the kind that wants to make people run and vomit.

"Schmitz's mid-range shot is very lethal, but the defense is too soft, which is the Pacers' weakness.

Schmitz should be careful, don't be messed up by Kobe's breakthrough. ’ explained Mike Breen.

"Next, look at the Pacers' offense.

Mark Jackson received the ball and pushed forward, but the Lakers still pressed for a clear purpose, which was to consume a lot of the Pacers' physical energy.

This season, their defensive strength has improved a lot.

Offensively, the firepower is still fully fired. It is really terrifying that the Lakers have invested so much on the defensive end and can still maintain a strong offensive firepower. "

No matter how scary the Lakers were and how aggressive they were, Mark Jackson's face was very calm, but his breathing became a little heavier. Time is not forgiving!

There is still a lot of physical consumption, but fortunately, he is not too worried. His role on the court is only to pass and assist, unlike Stockton, who is also responsible for the team's scoring.

On the field, Mark Jackson controls the ball in the frontcourt to observe.

At this point, Kobe and Miller switched offense and defense and engaged in a chasing battle again.

After Antonio Davis walled Miller, he suddenly pulled out to the right flank and made a screen for Chris Mullin, blocking Bowen's marking of him.

Schmitz also swims to the free throw line.

There are many points where Mark Jackson can pass the ball. I saw him flicking his left hand, and the basketball flew outside the three-point line on the right.

Chris Mullin is completely empty, catches the ball, jumps up, shoots...

The whole movement is clean and neat, without a trace of muddy water.

By the time Bowen bypassed Antonio Davis and rushed to block the shot, the basketball had already been flying in the air for a while.

"Whoa—!
With a magical left hand, elegant posture, and the accuracy of wearing a scope, Chris Mullin made a three-pointer and hit the net. "The groom Albert explained with a smile.

Mike Breen continued, "Chris Mullin made 44% of his three-pointers last season, ranking third in the league.

This season, Chris Mullin's three-point shooting percentage has increased to 47%, and now ranks second in the league.

At the age of 37, his shooting is getting more and more demonic. "

In other words, this three-point shot, one of the best in the league, is still shot with his left hand.

In Li Mu's previous life, it was said that Reid's throwing resistance was the strongest golden left hand in history.

If Chris Mullin is placed in the three-point era, this position and name should change hands.

Just looking at the quality of the shot, it would be a few blocks better than Reed's throw.

In terms of hit rate, Reid can't match it.

On the court, the offense and defense transitioned, the Lakers attacked, and Billups dribbled to the frontcourt.

This time, Antonio Davis tried his best to defend around the front. Miller added a lot of small moves in defending against Kobe, and he was not thrown away by Kobe.

Suddenly, Billups found that Marlon Jackson's defensive position was at the back. This is a very common defensive position in the CIC era.

But Billups saw an opportunity. Suddenly, he pulled the ball up, raised his hand and made a three-point shot...

Marlon Jackson pounced, it was too late.

Boom-!
The only good thing is that Billups' three-pointer hit the iron.

Billups hasn't reached his peak yet. In the next few seasons, he will be given the title of 'Tie Lu', and his shooting percentage is naturally poor.

"Grab a rebound!"

The Pacers roared.

However, when Schmitz turned around to grab a rebound, Daben jumped into the sky before the basketball fell.

After grabbing the basketball, after landing, he jumped up quickly, and with a bang, he made a second attack and dunked the basketball into the basket.

8 to 7! !
"Fortunately, Schmitz didn't foul, let Big Ben go to free throws!" Li Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to think about the current starting lineup and three-point shooting percentage.

However, in terms of rebounding, the Lakers are definitely among the top five in the league.

Although the Pacers have an advantage in height, they really can't compete with the Lakers' O'Neal and Ben.

Antonio Davis has exhausted all his strength to hold O'Neal.

Schmitz, like Fat Yao, waited for the ball to hit his chest.

and……

"Schmitz's position is too outward. He wants to use his height and long arms to cover the entire penalty area, which has a great impact on the rebounding.

Especially the Lakers' Ben Wallace, who can play as a starter, is used to defend and grab rebounds. This is his job, and he will definitely not be so weak! !On the commentary stand, Mike Breen explained.

On the sidelines, Larry Bird didn't care, but was a little happy.

Because, he can see that the Lakers don't have three-pointers, and even the mid-range shots are not very stable.

Without shooting, how could it be the Pacers' opponent?
If you can't shoot, then force the Lakers to shoot with the Pacers!

On the field, the Pacers attacked and Mark Jackson organized the frontcourt.

The offense is still the same, Miller off the ball, Schmitz wandering at the free throw line.

Antonio Davis screens for Miller, pulls to the wing, screens for Chris Mullin, and then, after Anthony Davis screens, cuts to the inside.

Mark Jackson, as the team's dealer, has four spots where he can pass the ball.

"The Pacers come out with so many offensive points, and Mark Jackson is one of the best passers in the league.

How would he deal the cards? "Mike Brin explained, and suddenly roared, "It's still about Chris Mullin, Bowen and Ben Wallace, both rushed over.

But, Chris Mullin is not just a pure pitcher! "

As soon as the words fell, Chris Mullin flicked his left hand on the field and passed the basketball to the penalty area.

Antonio Davis caught the ball, jumped up, dunked with both hands, and blasted the basketball into the hoop with a bang.

10 to 7! !
The Pacers' offense is not just about floating shots from the outside.

They also hit the basket.

"So that's how it is. It seems to be somewhat similar to Princeton!" Li Mu nodded. After several rounds of probing, he had already seen the Pacers' offensive routine.

"No, why is it somewhat similar to the Splash Brothers basketball of the Warriors?"

If Reggie Miller and Chris Mullin were both teamed up at their young peaks, if there were more screens and coordination, and more three-point shots, it would be a replica of the Warriors' Splash Brothers.

One without the ball, and one...well, with the ball.

They are all top five shooters in the league, or even top three shooters.

Li Mu suddenly looked sideways at Larry Bird in the Pacers coaching area, and suddenly had a realization.

"After a long time, Larry Bird's tactical play is to knead all the players of the Pacers into a 'Larry Bird'!

So, this tactic is called 'big bird tactic'? 'Bird array'? 'Bird Boom'? "

For a while, Li Mu couldn't think of a suitable name, but that didn't stop him from wanting to scold her.

What the hell, this is basically a shooting basketball team. There is no sharp breakthrough, no strong individual ball-handling singles, no top center's attack, and only creating shooting points and rushing points after screens.

Reggie Miller, Schmitz, Chris Mullin, three shooting points, plus Antonio Davis' screen rushing to the basket, coupled with Mark Jackson, one of the best dealers, the advantages of the five people are brought together, isn't it? Form a complete body of Larry Bird?

I have to say, these retired legends really know how to play.

Copy homework, actually copied to himself! !
