Chapter 57 A Taste of Princeton Tactics!

Chapter 57 A Taste of Princeton Tactics!

Amidst the boos of the fans outside the court, O'Neal glanced at Vaditz, who was covering his chest on the floor and showing a painful expression.

I thought to myself: I may really hit someone with the ball.

Not possible.

It's really hitting someone with the ball.

In other words, a reporter from the "Sacramento Bee" specifically described Divac's foul art: "Frankly speaking, many guys in the league understand 'flopping', but only Divac can put 'what? Is it a foul?' Turned into a moving art."

Divac's diving can be called textbook level, and diving in front of O'Neal is simply tried and tested.

In Li Mu's previous life, in the 2002 playoffs, the Kings could restrict O'Neal very well without even using the shark-slashing tactic, because as long as Divac lay down, O'Neal's fresh attack would be less effective.

Then, over the next few years, drawing fouls became a trend.

Battier, Ginobili, Scola, Varejao, etc., are all master-level foul-makers on the court.

O'Neal's offense failed, he lost the ball, and he was fouled once.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Kings attack, Jason Williams drives the ball to the frontcourt.

On the court, the players of the Kings finally stopped panicking.

Webber pulled up to the high position, Jason William handed over the basketball to Weber's organization, and cut into the inside by himself.

At this point, it was the Lakers' turn to panic.

Big Ben didn't defend at all, and Billups didn't follow Jason Williams.

Webber flicked his hands, threw the basketball into the inside, and Jason Williams, who had re-caught the ball, was surrounded by heavy siege.

No.

wrong.

Jason Williams is hitting the back door of the Lakers.

Even if the Lakers block the back door, Jason Williams will attack with a small and big dislocation.

Boom, swish—!
Jason Williams faced O'Neal's block, hit the rebound and sent the basketball to the basket.

"This is the Princeton tactic of the Kings?"

Li Mu had heard of the reputation of Princeton's tactical offensive firepower, but he hadn't seen how the Kings played. He only saw the so-called Princeton tactics played by the Rockets in Yao Ming's era.

Definitely not authentic Princeton tactics, no doubt.

Not very adaptable either.

"This is the tactical change of the Kings this season. They introduced Chris Webber and Verati Divac. They are both insiders who can pass the ball and organize. Moreover, they also have good mid-range shooting skills, and then they are pulled to the high position. support.

Forward support tactics are not uncommon, but center support is relatively rare, because the center will directly attack the basket, and the pass organization ability is generally poor. "Mike Breen said with a smile on his face.

Now the Kings Princeton tactics have just started, and the effect has not yet come out. He only regards it as a tactical attempt and doesn't take it seriously.

There are rumors that Pete Carell has been running the Princeton tactics for the Kings for more than a year, but the Princeton tactics have too high demands on the players, and they haven't made a name for themselves.

The Lakers didn't pay much attention to the opponent of the Kings.

So, next, the Lakers experienced the beauty of the offensive firepower of Princeton's tactical system.

When the Kings were attacking, Webber still received the ball from a high position, but Ben still didn't follow, and Kobe switched defenses directly.

But for Jason Williams' air cut, Billups followed up.

Webber directly lifted the ball to shoot, but Kobe's block did not reach it.

Swish-!
He made a long-distance two-point shot from the high position and made a steady hit.

Chris Webber was the No. 93 pick in the [-] draft and one of the future "four big fronts".

The strength is very good, averaging 17.5 points, 9 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in the new season.

He just joined the Kings this season and is not yet fully familiar with Princeton's tactics. He can still score 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

Later, when the Kings were still playing high post support, Weber received the ball to organize, and Big Ben defended out.

Wahadi and Collis Williams on the flanks cut in directly and took turns attacking the Lakers' defense from between the two ribs.

After Webber easily assisted Collis Williams to run back, he threw off Bowen's defense, received Webber's pass, made a close-range jumper, and sent the basketball into the basket.

Princeton tactics, there are only a few simple routines, but it makes the Lakers' defense lose sight of one another.

They can always use running positions, screens, air cuts, etc. to move the ball, move non-stop, receive a pass from a teammate, or pass the ball to an open teammate to get a chance to shoot directly at the open basket.

Such an offensive opportunity is too easy and efficient.

The Kings' offensive firepower was fully fired, and they played back and forth with the Lakers.

In other words, it is true that the Kings' offensive firepower is strong, but the defense is not the same thing.

On the Lakers side, after O'Neal once dribbled into someone, he also paid attention when he dribbled into someone. The referee also stared at Divac, and after a few bangs, the penalty area kept scoring.

The Kings have Princeton tactics, and the Lakers also have off-ball tactics. Kobe connected the Lakers' offense and also scored frequently.

Moreover, the Lakers' personal heads-up, the offensive efficiency is not low.

In this way, the two sides opened up their posture and confronted each other in the attack.

In the first quarter, in the 7th minute of the game, Billups rarely played Jason Williams with a back single.

As a rookie with the seventh overall pick in 98, Jason Williams was completely powerless to fight against Billups' bulldozer-like bulldozer, so he could only fight and retreat.

Billups came to the shooting sweet spot, immediately turned around and shot a jumper...

Jason Williams predicted Billups' shot. Billups' body is a talent, but there is no way to do it. He tries to defend, just pretending.

Swish-!
19 is better than 18!

Off the field, Li Mu nodded. Jason Williams at the point guard was indeed the biggest flaw in the Kings' defense.

Billups bullied Jason Williams, and it was almost a hit.

Billups showed his 'specialty' to the fullest.

Looking back, the Kings attacked, and Jason Williams dribbled continuously across the frontcourt.

Wanting to return it, Billups had a calm face, but the Kings teammates were a little flustered.

I saw that Jason was Williams' worshiping Buddha, which deceived Billups' center of gravity and started to accelerate to break through to the inside. Before Kobe and Bowen could help defend in place, Jason Williams pulled the ball up, European step layup flash.

Just when everyone, even his teammates, thought he was going to shoot, Jason Williams made a back pass.

At this time, Wahadi on the right was about to grab the rebound, his eyes were on the basket, and he didn't expect that it would be a pass!

Basketball, just out of the sideline.

On the sidelines, Li Mu suddenly smiled strangely. The ball reminded him of Curry's back pass in the finals.

At that time, I thought Curry was going to single-handedly shoot.

In terms of surprise, Jason Williams' passing is a world full of suspense. Sometimes, no one knows where he will pass the next moment.

One person dribbles the ball and nine people panic. Jason Williams can't do it now, but it is definitely possible to lead the team with one person and the teammates panic first.

On the sidelines, Adelman yelled at the court: "Damn it, Jason, take away your pass and hand over the damn basketball to Chris to decide!" ! '

Immediately, the Kings, without heroic basketball, immediately showed a strong offensive force.

They played very, very smart, played very well as a team, and always put the basketball in the basket.

After the first quarter, the score was 31 to 27, and the Lakers were on the trailing side.

In the second quarter, Li Mu let O'Neal rest and let Kobe continue to play.

Harper, Curry, Horry and Brad Miller came off the bench.

The Kings coach asked Jason Williams and Webber to stay on the court.

The Princeton system has not yet been polished. If it wasn't for Divac's old age and lack of physical fitness, Divac would also be allowed to stay on the court.

The bench came with Peja Stojakovic, Lawrence Fonder Burke and veteran Fernon Maxwell.

Li Mu looked at Stojakovic unexpectedly, thinking that he is not a representative of the 96 golden generation?
I heard it's pretty cool, why only one sixth person was mixed.

In fact, like Stojakovic, Ginobili and Scola, they were all selected and only entered the NBA a few years later.

Peja Stojakovic did participate in the draft in 96, but he only played in the NBA in the 98/99 season. Now this is his first season, starting from playing as the sixth or seventh man.
