Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 47 Got Jordan's illness!

Like Jordan, Payton won the Defensive Player of the Year honor as an outsider. Moreover, Payton is even more amazing, and he did it as a point guard. This is the first time in league history.

Faced with the pressure of players of this level, Billups has no confidence to defeat his opponent, and few players in the league have the confidence to do so.

In the 96 NBA Finals, although Payton and his Sonics lost the championship, from the moment Payton went to defend Jordan, the fans experienced the strongest spear and the strongest shield. duel.

Billups threw the basketball, like a hot potato, to Bryant to run the offense.

In all fairness, in Li Mu's previous life, the Lakers in the era of the OK combination, Kobe was the actual organizer of this team. Fisher's task as a point guard is very simple, that is, to dribble the ball across the half court, and then pass the ball to the side , Set up a three-point fort.

Field, left.

Kobe took the ball and directly forced Hersey Hawkins.

This person was not moving laterally quickly, and was easily broken by Kobe. He went inside, pulled the ball up in the paint, and made a lob in the air.

Swish-!
7 to 0! !
"Lakers, is this going to be a one-sided massacre? The Sonics haven't been able to score zero points in their offense. It seems that after changing the head coach, the Sonics can no longer treat them as the original team that was good at regular season. team."

Mike Breen explained that he attributed the current predicament of the Sonics to the departure of the former head coach of the Sonics, George Karl, which greatly affected their offensive system.

The dismantling of the core combination, the replacement of the head coach, and the aging of the core players, is this Sonic team heading for the end?
On the field, the Sonics were attacking, and Payton's eyes were full of murderous intent.

The all-star inside teammate couldn't start the offense, and the defense was retreating steadily. He decided to take charge of the offense and clean up the mess on the field.

Hersey Hawkins and Schramf pulled aside tacitly.

Hawkins is a shooter. With a height of 1 meters, he can play as a shooting guard. He can also be selected as an All-Star. Naturally, his offensive firepower is not bad, and he also has good shooting skills.

Schramf was also an All-Star and also had a precise three-point shot.

The Lakers' flank defense has to keep an eye on it.

Then, Payton can comfortably single out Billups in the middle.

As the great god of the point guard world, Billups naturally knows Payton's name and also knows Payton's offensive weaknesses.

Without hesitation, he stood in front of Payton, shrunk into the three-point line, put one step away, and prevented breakthroughs but not shots.

In other words, the snake tactics are not just aimed at Kobe alone.

Payton is used to seeing Billups in such a defensive formation, he directly leans his back to Billups, relying on his strong body, step by step to the inside.

The bulldozer-style post-up singles made it difficult for Billups, who has not yet fully developed his body and technology.

Arching to the shooting sweet spot, Payton immediately turned around and retreated and added a backward shot.

Payton is 1 meters tall. With such a move, with the height of a point guard, unless a player of Magician or James' height plays a point guard, he can block the shot.

In Li Mu's previous life, Wade used such moves and height to play shooting guard, and it was difficult for the opposing shooting guard to block shots. Billups could only watch helplessly as the basketball drew an arc in the air.

Swish-!
7 to 2! !
Finally, finally, Payton's post-up singles broke zero for the Sonics.

"See, this kind of attack, you can't learn it in your life, and you can't prevent it in your life.

Listen to me, save your energy and focus on offense, get good data, and be able to become a star and get a big contract! !

Defensive, this is not the technique you should be playing! "

After the offense was over, Payton didn't forget to talk a bunch of trash.

"Really? I only saw the Lakers 7-2 against the Sonics. That's it. Did you mean offense? Or defense?" Billups is indeed a player with a big heart. At this time, he was not disturbed and still Always be ready to fight back.

On the court, the Lakers attacked, Billups was forced again, Rice came to cover, Payton easily circled the defense, and continued to press Billups.

Billups did not entangle the ball, or the basketball to Kobe, Flounder briefly incarnated as 'old fish' Fisher.

The effect is also very obvious, although Hersey Hawkins also copied Billups' homework and let Kobe shoot.

As a result, Kobe did not have a skilled back-up technique, but directly used his physical talent to break through.

After getting into the paint and attracting Polynice's attention, he pulled the ball out of an emergency stop, threw both hands in the air, and flew the basketball to the basket.

I saw O'Neill turn around flexibly, bypassing Polynes, jumped up, alley oop, bang, and dunked with both hands.

9 to 2! !
This is Kobe's role in offense. He can break through, shoot, and pass, depending on whether he is willing or not.

On the court, the offense and defense transition, the Sonics attack, and Payton dribbles to the frontcourt.

Seeing that Billups was still throwing shots, a carelessness flashed across his face, he kept dribbling the ball back and forth, not in a hurry to attack, and wanted to mobilize Billups' defensive rhythm.

At the same time, the mouth kept saying:
Hey!
Rookie, that's right, it's you.

Your defense is of no use to me. If you check the encyclopedia, you also know that my offensive skills are comprehensive.

I can break through, and I can back up, but you don't know what defense is?

Look, I broke through~
I really want to break through~
If you defend like this, I have too much room for breakthrough.

Breakthrough, Payton didn't break through, but raised his hand and shot a three-pointer with a jumper...

Talking trash is just part of his offensive rhythm, will he execute it?You never know what he's going to do next.

Bang-dang-!
Payton's three-pointer missed.

sloppy.

At this moment, Billups looked at Payton...and there was no embarrassment, as long as he was embarrassed, the embarrassment was someone else.

In this era when CIC is king, many superstars in the league did not have Jordan's life, but got Jordan's disease.

Jordan has a good shot, and he doesn't need to practice three-pointers. He is also a three-peat + three-peat.

So what are you still practicing for three-pointers?
What Jordan would not do, only a fool would practice the stupid thing of three-point shooting.

In a word: Three-point shooting cannot kill the game!

Fortunately, the Sonics' offense was not over. At the basket, Wen Baker overpowered Ben Wallace and grabbed the rebound.

On the ground, he hit the big ben with a strong kick, and Wen Baker dunked with both hands.

9 to 4! !
The job of grabbing rebounds is also Wen Baker's job. With his long body and feet, he naturally has the advantage of grabbing rebounds under the basket.

As long as he is a little bit stuck, his skills and body are not big enough, and he can't compete with the All-Star Wen Baker.

On the commentary stage, groom Albert laughed, "The Sonics' offense was a bit staggered, and they finally opened up the situation in the offense.

Of course, if the Sonics want to counterattack, the starting lineup must continue the offensive firepower, and at the same time, they must not lose their defense. "

On the field.

The Sonics' offense continued.

Schramff and Payton played a pick-and-roll tactic, and Payton passed the ball without looking.

Schramf caught the ball and shot a jumper, accurately hitting a three-pointer.

The soft shooting touch is the characteristic of this European striker.

In other words, the big men in Europe all have good shooting skills.

Hersey Hawkins couldn't stand up to Kobe's offense defensively, but on the offensive end, he showed an All-Star offensive level and also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

At this time, the offense of the Sonics can be said to be both internal and external.

Under Payton's series of needles and money, it showed the original strong offensive firepower.

With two All-Star shooters on the side, it is no wonder that under the leadership of the pair of Glove Payton and Rainman Kemp, the Sonics were able to reach the NBA Finals in 96.

However, on the defensive end, the Sonics failed to withstand the impact of the Lakers.

O'Neal is too strong in the penalty area, and it's normal for Polinis to be a blue-collar.

The most uncomfortable thing for the Sonics is Wen Baker's side, who can't give Polynice any support.

He probably hasn't sobered up yet, and with the sudden increase in weight, he has no mobility advantage, and it is already auspicious for him not to cause chaos in the paint.

The Lakers also have an All-Star three-point shooter like Rice playing outside.

The Supersonics want to shrink the inside line, which will only make the defense lose sight of the other.

In addition, Kobe doesn't eat dry food. His combination of offense without the ball and offense with the ball is hard to defend, making the Sonics' defense stretched, and they can't even set up a defensive formation.

In the chaos, Kobe was like a killing god, constantly harvesting goals and scoring.

No matter how strong the defense is, Payton once won the honor of Defensive Player of the Year. In the future, he can be selected for the defensive team 9 times. It can be said that it is already the ceiling of the league's perimeter defense.

It's just that the Lakers avoided him to attack, and Payton had nothing to do.

Li Mu only needs to copy the way the Pistons dealt with Kobe in the 2004 Finals, and he can easily solve Payton.

At that time, Payton was blasted by Billups on the defensive end, Kobe switched to Billups, and Hamilton blasted Payton.

Kobe kept putting out the fire, but Payton was chased and blown up.

The future appeared in the scene of Kobe and Payton, but now, it appeared in Payton and Hersey Hawkins.

This is called supersonic how to defend?

Replacing Hawkins, others may not be better defensively than him, unless they choose not to attack shooting guards.

In this way, the attack may stall again. This question is simply unsolvable!

After the first quarter, the score was 31 to 21. The Lakers turned away and led the Sonics by 10 points.
