You are the pearl, Mo Mengchen

Chapter 797

799 Killing Piston's Ball

Four minutes before the end of the first half, Kobe broke through and caused Alan Houston's third personal foul.

The Pistons therefore replaced Houston, replaced by Hill.

And this was the beginning of Kobe's explosion. Suddenly, O'Neal turned off and Kobe took over the game.

Since the outside has more ball-holding time than the inside, once a player like Kobe breaks out, it will be a prairie fire.

Hill's restrictions on Kobe in the first quarter were exemplary, but when Kobe found the state where he could make hard shots without a chance, no matter how good the defense was, it was useless.

45 is better than 38
At halftime, the Lakers led the Pistons by 7 points.

"I firmly believe that we can win." Bryant said in an interview at halftime.

In the locker room, Westphal faced a difficult problem.

Ben Wallace triple;

Rashid two offenders;
Lauderdale Trio;

Magloire two criminals;
Houston three;
In the first half alone, the Lakers fouled the Pistons 15 times.

O'Neal was in a brave state tonight, and he even made nearly 70% of his free throws. This is really bad news.

If O'Neal's free throws are guaranteed, the Pistons will not be so decisive in fouling him. Coupled with the foul crisis in the inside group, the two Wallaces have three fouls and two fouls. How to line up in the second half is a big problem.

"In the second half, our starters were."

"Mo, Ricky, Grant" Westphal paused at this point, his eyes fell on the insiders sitting in a pile, "Rashad and Jamal."

Lewis and Magloire starting?
A rookie whose legs were weak when he saw O'Neal for the first time, a power forward who didn't defend at all?

"This" Frauses didn't expect Westphal to discharge such a starting insider.

"We need to drag the game to the end. Rashid and Ben must control the number of fouls, but if they are on the court, they can't control the number of fouls." Westphal looked at Mo Mengchen and others, "Sha I'll leave it to you."

Lewis will not participate in the double-teaming, his only task is to keep an eye on the Lakers' 4th position, and then find a way to steal a few three-pointers on the offensive end.

"It's too risky." Frauses couldn't imagine what would happen to such a lineup on the court.

"It is true that there are times when we have to take risks," Westphal was equally unconfident, but his gaze was firmer than anyone else's. "Go do something crazy!"

In the third quarter, the Lakers started the game.

OK stands on the weak side, and the other three stand on the strong side.

Hill against Bryant, O'Nick against Magloire.

In such a two-on-two, only Hill has the opportunity to double-team O'Neal, but if he wants to do so, he has to let go of Peter Pan, who played in form in the last few minutes of the first half.

The classic two bottles of poison.

No one can help.

Bryant passed the ball to O'Neal, then stood on the outside with akimbo watching, and he welcomed Hill to double-team him, so he would be much easier to handle.

Hill was also hesitating, and then he heard Magloire shout: "I'm fine!"

At this moment, O'Neill used the corner of his eye to glimpse the space on the baseline, and Magloire's hand was on his waist. This is a dangerous defensive move, and the experienced Sharks knew it from the beginning. The defense is about to fail.

The crocodile dragging its prey into the lake will perform a cruel dance of death and tear the flesh. The shark's attack is exactly the same. Like a tornado formed in vain, he turns inward and changes hands to rush to the bottom line. When his body turns into the basket, his left arm The elbow landed on Magloire's body and dunked.

47 is better than 38
"How about 9 points?" O'Neal protested at Mo Mengchen.

In front of the position, Hill was in a low position, and Mo Mengchen passed the ball.

Outside, the Pistons' tactics are as complex as an army that suddenly changes.

The walking crowd can affect the judgment of most people, but Hill could see clearly that his back shot was just a feint. When Mo Mengchen ran to the position, he threw the ball up, flew over the crowd, and came to the left three-point line outside.

Mo Mengchen responded with a three-pointer on the left.

41 is better than 47
Then, the Lakers changed again, and OK stood on the strong side. This is the classic start of the triangle offense.

Strong-side triangle, three players on the strong side, a triangle established with the sideline as the base; the distance between the players is between 4 meters and 6 meters, try to keep it as even as possible-so, the top angle of this strong-side triangle The location can only be a low position, and the deeper the better - the top corner is the first starting point of the attack, and if it can also be the first ending point, that would be even better.

Putting aside these nagging tactical positioning, it can be seen that the key point of this starting move is actually the center's low position.

Regardless of whether it is the NBA or the history of world basketball, who else is more threatening than the shark's low attack?

Therefore, it is not without reason that Zen Master has always dreamed of coaching the Sharks. Except for the Sharks, no one can make the triangle offense explode with the most unstoppable power when they make their hands-this ultimate simplicity is better than Any subtle change is a death notice as soon as it is launched.

The ball was given to the Sharks again, and the triangle offense was driven to the extreme.

The Pistons' defense was disrupted by O'Neal's offense.

When the Pistons had to deal with the threat of the first move, when the local defense was more and less, the triangle offense began to change for the first time, so the other players of the Lakers waited for work and played more and less. Hit a three-pointer.

50 is better than 41
OK bumped his chest excitedly and backed away at the same time.

The Pistons are as familiar with the triangle offense as their opponents, but now they are completely unable to handle this simple play that seems to be played by anyone.

They can only speed up the pace of the game.

OK is bumping his chest, but Mo Mengchen has already run to the basket and sent the ball.

"Piston's fast break!"

"It's really fast!" As soon as the magician finished speaking, Hill's attack was stopped by Kobe, but it was not enough, and Devil Mountain passed the ball back.

Lewis stepped in from behind and made a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

Again!

44 is better than 50
The magician sent his highest praise: "It's the style we used to be!"

When the boss spoke, Worthy, Wilkes and others all nodded in agreement.

But at this time, O'Neal was unstoppable, even with double-teams.

He pushed away Magloire first, and with a fake move of shaking his shoulders, tricked Davis, who was coming to double-team, then turned around and made a small hook in front of the basket.

Still hits.

52 is better than 44
In contrast, the Pistons can't always maintain the touch of the perimeter.

Mo Mengchen saw that Lewis made a hit on the first shot, and deliberately continued to use his touch, deliberately asked him to play a pick-and-roll, break through and split the ball backwards.

Harrington's defense was well taken care of, and Lewis missed a three-pointer.

"Return to defense! Hurry up and return to defense!"

Kobe's fast attack with the ball like a mad dog, Mo Mengchen's speed is convenient for quick retreat, but his defense is not top-notch.

Mo Mengchen and Kobe formed a one-on-one situation on the spot, but Kobe was not afraid of his defense. After changing direction continuously, he suddenly stopped and fell back, shooting the ball in his hand.

54 is better than 44
"Nice!!" Kobe turned around and roared angrily.

This is the strongest form of the Lakers, and OK is working hard at the same time.

For the Pistons, Mo Mengchen and Hill also started playing duo.

Similar scenes reminded the Pistons of Game6, but they didn't dare to think about it anymore, because the result of that game was bitter.

Hill, who was standing at the top of the arc, was boldly emptied by the Lakers, and they attacked Mo Mengchen frantically.

Mo Mengchen scored the ball, and Hill made a three-pointer and made a hit.

"That shot saved the Pistons from the brink!"

47 is better than 54
"If you want to know if the Pistons had a hard time tonight, look at the scores of Dor.Mo and Grant Hill!"

Mo Mengchen and Hill scored more than half of the team.

The Pistons are another team with very scattered scoring points, but now they are concentrated on the two of them. It is obvious that they are cornered.

Only Mo Mengchen and Hill remained to score points, and Westphal's arrangement failed.

But the players on the field are still working hard.

Magloire couldn't stand up to O'Neal, he adopted foul tactics, his fouls were not many, and he knew his position on the court very well.

In the next 3 minutes, O'Neal kept getting to the free throw line.

When Magloire received his fifth personal foul, Westphal still did not replace him. The intention could not be more obvious, that is, to let him use up all the fouls.

During the period of Magloire's crazy fouls, O'Neal's free throw feel declined, giving the Pistons an opportunity.

Mo Mengchen scored two consecutive three-pointers.

58 is better than 53
The point difference became 5 points, and O'Neal suddenly slowed down the rhythm of the attack. His previous offense was as fast and fierce as a mountain, and slowing down the pace was an opportunity for the opponent to double-team him.

Mo Mengchen suddenly approached O'Neill, and he decisively scored the ball.

Shaw had a chance to shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't shoot it and handed it to Kobe in the top corner.

People in the world say that OK is invincible, but they rarely explain this in terms of strategy and tactics: the purpose of all offensive tactics is to destroy the defense system to the greatest extent; and the means of destruction used by all tactics is nothing more than compression of the defense system , cutting, stretching, and the alternate or simultaneous use of these methods.

The most terrifying part of the OK combination is reflected here. When O'Neal receives the ball in the low post, it is the first strong pressure on the defensive system, and the opponent must shrink; and when the ball is transferred from O'Neal to Kobe, the defensive system will It would expand—and then Kobe would force it to shrink again with a breakthrough.

Any defensive system in the world, after going through this contraction-expansion-recontraction process, will inevitably have a sharp decline in adaptability, basically unable to cope with Kobe's breakthroughs, mid-range shots, and outside three-pointers.

When O'Neal pressed the Pistons' defense and passed the ball again, the Pistons' defense also collapsed.

Kobe turned around and knocked Hill down, and Staples' cheers were enough to make people collapse.

Hill just fell to the ground, watching Kobe shoot a [-] in front of him.

Walton roared with hyperbole: "Kobe made the shot that killed the Pistons!"
