Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 132 Supersonic "Assassin"

Of course, Zhou Yu didn't intend to embarrass Harris on purpose, but just now he didn't really understand why Payton was suddenly so crazy, neither passing the ball nor breaking through for layups, and kept playing mid-range shots.

After Harris said so, he finally figured it out, and quickly explained:

"Coach, the reason why the Sonics let Payton let go of the shot is that we expect us to focus all our attention on him and create more space for others to display."

"Payton is the core of the Sonics. Is it wrong to focus on him?"

Harris asked patiently.

"Of course, it is true that we should strengthen our defense against Payton, but have you ever thought about why Payton didn't choose a breakthrough layup or a long three-point shot? It can also draw our attention instead of choosing frequent hits. vote?"

Zhou Yu continued.

"Because Payton's breakthrough layup success rate is not high, and the three-point long-range shot is not as accurate as the mid-range shot. Even a fool can see it."

Harris didn't think so.

"That's not the case. The range of the mid-range shot is between the outside and the inside. Using this method of attack can not only draw the attention of the inside players, but also attract the double-teaming of the outside players. In this way, the Lakers' defense will be completely Off balance, and the rest of the Sonics will be firing on all cylinders."

Zhou Yu shook his head, speaking firmly.

Harris fell silent instantly when he heard the words, and the other team members were even more embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu's insights were so unique and profound.

"Wang, your words are not unreasonable, so is my decision to stimulate the vitality of the inside line from the outside line correct?"

Harris nodded, then had complete doubts about his claim.

"This decision is also what the Supersonics are very willing to see."

Zhou Yu said.

"why?"

Harris was surprised.

"Because the Supersonic's perimeter defense is obviously better than the Lakers, they are least afraid of the Lakers' perimeter shooting. If the Lakers strengthen their shots from the perimeter, not only will it be difficult to guarantee their shooting percentage, but their fast break and counterattack will also be useful."

Zhou Yu explained unhurriedly.

"Then tell me, what should we do?"

Harris blushed and had equatorial ears.

"I think that on the defensive end, Payton is still one-on-one. Let him shoot if he wants to shoot. I don't believe he can be so accurate forever; Formed a good interaction with me and O'Neal, as long as the two of us opened up, the Sonic defense would fall apart very quickly."

Zhou Yu talked eloquently.

Harris walked back and forth a few steps with his hand on his chin, with a pensive look on his face, thinking to himself, it's so embarrassing to be completely denied by this brat in public, as the head coach, he must say something.

"Wang, although your idea is a bit creative, I still stick to my point of view. However, I am more democratic and don't want to go against the wishes of the players. Let's try it according to your idea first. If any adverse consequences are caused, the responsibility It's up to you alone."

Harris made a final statement.

"Thank you coach for your understanding."

Zhou Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Before going on the court, O'Neill approached Zhou Yu, lowered his voice and said in relief:

"Wang, what you just said is so good, Coach Ha's face is almost like a turkey, but it made my brother get angry."

"Brother Shark, why did you say that? Coach Ha is always nice to you."

Zhou Yu was puzzled.

"On the surface, they are very kind to me, but secretly they often call me nicknames, such as big diesel engine, big vacuum cleaner, big baby, etc., which makes me very embarrassed."

O'Neill complained.

"Brother Shark, Coach Ha, this is a nickname for you. If it were me, I would have called you a big toilet."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but said.

"Get out! If you dare to call me that, I will break up with you immediately!"

O'Neill immediately said angrily.

The Lakers, who returned to the game, still insisted on playing inside, and the ball was in Zhou Yu's hands again. This time, Zhou Yu just hit McElvine a few times on the back, then passed the ball behind the head, and passed the ball to the other side O'Neill.

O'Neal slapped the ball hard, then made a sharp "shark turn", squeezed Kemp away, wiped into the penalty area, and was about to dunk with both hands.

McIlvain hurried over to defend, and the Sharks then made a through ball and passed it back to Zhou Yu on the opposite side.

With a roar, Zhou Yu made a powerful one-handed dunk and smashed the ball into the Supersonic basket.

O'Neal and Zhou Yu played the short pass between the inside to the fullest, making the Supersonics care about one thing and lose another.

The Supersonic's offensive immediately arrived, and Payton held the ball. Seeing that Kobe was still defending alone, he was very surprised. He even made a mid-range shot and made a layup.

At this time, Payton was struggling in his heart. The other players of the Supersonics were watched tightly, and he could only rely on him to open the situation.

And all friends who have played basketball have this psychological feeling. When your shooting percentage reaches five in a row, if you want to continue to make consecutive hits, even yourself will start to doubt your life.

In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge upwards, swaying in several directions and then taking a step back, and made another mid-range shot.

As a result, the shot was shot, the rebound was grabbed by Zhou Yu, and then there was a cool and powerful throw. The basketball followed a precise trajectory and reached Kobe's hands.

Kobe easily passed Hawkins and Schramff with a Mamba-like snake-shake, and another explosive one-handed dunk, smashing the ball into the Sonics basket again.

"38:35", the Lakers overtook the Supersonics with a three-pointer in the blink of an eye, reversing the passive situation in one fell swoop.

George Karl, who was watching the game from the sidelines, was puzzled. He knew Harris too well. This brother seemed to be calm, but he was easily impulsive. It stands to reason that he should "encircle and suppress" Payton. Why did he let it go?Could it be that he has seen through his strategy of "throwing a brick to attract jade"?
After thinking about it carefully, I don't think so. Harris' golf quotient is not that high, which can only be explained by mistake.

Since the Lakers don't take the bait, he can only change his strategy as soon as possible. It is impossible for Payton to defeat the Lakers alone.

Thinking of this, he immediately shouted "Look at me" at the team members, and then made another set of tactical gestures.

The Supersonic players immediately nodded knowingly, knowing that Coach Ka was going to use his "killer card".

Most people think that the Supersonic's tactical play is based on the internal and external series of Payton and Kemp, supplemented by other players' long-range shots.

In fact, it is not the case. Since the "2:4" defeat to the Bulls in the finals of last season, George Karl deeply felt that relying on "one inside and one outside" alone to win the world is unreliable, so he specially strengthened the tactical drill between the outside trio .

Through the exquisite cooperation between Payton, Hawkins, and Schramf, it can not only open up the situation on the outside, but also cause a lot of impact on the inside. Coincidentally, in addition to having a certain breakthrough ability, the three of them have a long-range Shooting also has a certain level.

Originally, George Karl planned to save the "killer weapon" to use in the finals to avenge the Bulls, but now it seems that the Lakers' "Twin Towers" are very fierce, and it is impossible not to use them immediately.

After Payton held the ball for halftime, he controlled the ball at the top of the arc. Kemp suddenly pulled up to a high position as a screen. All the Lakers thought that the two would play a pick-and-roll again. Schramff both runs to the weak side.

When Payton rushed near the three-second zone, he hit the ground with a long pass and passed the ball to Schramf who was outside the three-point line on the other side. Kersi quickly defended.
