Chapter 92 2-1-2 Zone Defense
"In the second half, we defended the zone."

In the locker room, Tang Shuai broke the calm.

But no one answered, and everyone was listless in a game that must be lost.

"Yes!"

But at this moment, a very powerful voice suddenly startled everyone.

Ye Heping stood up.

Tang Shuai smiled. In the entire Lakers team, Kobe was paranoid, and Ye Heping was the second most eager to win.

"Atkins and Butler guard both sides of the free throw line, Leaf and Odom guard both sides of the basket, Mihm guards the middle..."

Tang Shuai began to draw the tactical board.

This is a standard 2-1-2 zone defense, which is very effective for defending against strong opponents.

James happens to be a supernova with a strong breakthrough, this is a targeted tactic.

Tang Shuai's adjustment can be said to be just right.

But whether the tactics are strong or not never depends on the tactics themselves, but on the execution of the team.

At the beginning of the second half, James, who broke through and encountered a double-team, quickly scored the ball, and Newbell, who cut into the basket, dunked the ball and scored.

41: 59.

The 2 in the 1-2-1 zone defense is very important. He sits in the middle, helps the other four at any time, and also protects the basket. He has a heavy responsibility.

(Imagine a trapezoid, 1 is in the middle of the trapezoid, and the other four are the four corners.)
But Mim was too slow to do the job.

In the next round, James missed a shot, and Gooden received an offensive rebound and scored easily.

41:61, the Lakers are already 20 points behind.

Beep beep!

Tang Shuai called a timeout again.

The adjustment of the midfield is a good adjustment, but there is a sudden change, and the players' execution is not enough.

Not only did the Lakers fail to restrain the Cavaliers, but their own loopholes became bigger and bigger.

Tang Shuai frowned, not knowing what to do.

Mihm is slow, Grant is old and short, and Divac is even slower. The three true centers of the Lakers obviously can't do the work of guarding the center.

There are thousands of strategic strategies in his heart, but there is no one who can help him display them, what a clever woman can't cook without rice.

"Coach, let me stay in the middle."

At this moment, Ye Heping suddenly spoke.

"Son, are you sure? This position has great responsibilities, and it is difficult to be competent without several years of tactical training. You are too young!"

Tang Shuai hesitated.

Mim has been playing in the NBA for five years and can't do this job well. Can Ye Heping, a rookie, do it?
"let me try!"

Ye Heping asked firmly.

Tang Shuai thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Okay!"

At this time, there is nothing to hesitate, a dead horse should be a living horse doctor, anyway, the Lakers have little chance of winning.

In addition, Tang Shuai also made personnel adjustments.

The five Lakers are: Ye Heping, Cook, Odom, Mihm, Vujacic.

After the timeout ended, Ye Heping raised his head, only to find that the Staples Center was quite empty, with only one-third of the fans left.

"There is nothing to watch in this game, let's play poker."

What's more, the commentator actually wanted to play poker.

Although it was a joke, Ye Heping felt extremely insulted.

This is the Staples Center, and this is the Lakers, one of the two giants in the NBA. The arena is full of championship banners and retired jerseys. How have you ever been insulted like this?

Ye Heping clenched his fists tightly.

The Lakers attacked and Butler missed a shot.

Big Z stayed under the basket, ready to accept the rebound.

But at this moment, a figure descended from the sky, grabbing the rebound from Big Z abruptly.

With a huge lead, the Cavaliers are obviously a little slack.

Before the Cavaliers could react, Ye Heping quickly passed the ball.

Cook on the outside line catches the ball and shoots, with his hands up and down.

Swish!
A deadly three-pointer sounded the clarion call for the Lakers' counterattack.

44: 61.

The Cavaliers attacked, and the Lakers still had a 2-1-2 zone defense, but Ye Heping guarded the middle.

The Cavaliers either didn't notice it, or didn't care, because they had too much of a lead.

James forced a breakthrough, and his personal ability was too strong. Neither Cook nor Vujacic stopped him.

But as soon as James entered the paint, he found a person blocking him, No. 24 of the Lakers.

Ye Heping's defense speed is not comparable to Mim's.

James froze for a moment, and didn't pass the ball immediately.

At this moment, Cook and Vujacic rushed over again, and the three of them double-teamed, trapping James tightly in the middle, making it difficult to move.

James wanted to pass the ball again, but it was difficult.

Ye Heping is 206 centimeters, Cook is 206 centimeters, Vujacic is 201 centimeters, and three big men over 2 meters hold their arms high. James can't even see where his teammates are.

James, who held the basketball high, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly found that the ball in his hand was gone.

Ye Heping ruthlessly knocked the ball away, and Vujacic took the ball and made a quick break.

With a small cooperation in the frontcourt, Ye Heping scored a layup.

46: 61.

此刻，叶和平的数据是6分6篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽。

Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas still didn't take it seriously.

Even if the Lakers play a wave of 5:0, the Cavaliers still lead by 15 points and can continue to be willful.

Silas just stood up and told James: Be steady, control the rhythm, and delay the time.

The leading team is in no rush, as is the norm.

James attacks with the ball.

After the last lesson, James was very vigilant this time, and he passed the ball before Ye Pingping came up to double-team.

Top-level passing ability is really a sharp weapon for breaking double teams.

The low-post Gooden catches the ball and overwhelms Odom. The strength advantage is great, and Odom is a bit overwhelmed.

But his hard-fought top defense still delayed the time.

The moment Gooden turned around for a layup, Ye Heping had already defended back, pop!

With a slap in the face, Ye Heping directly nailed the ball to the backboard.

Shout out to Staples Center, wonderful block.

The basket was in chaos, and Big Z grabbed the offensive rebound in the chaos, and relied on his height advantage to directly put the basket.

But behind him, a golden figure rose into the sky like a rocket, pop!

Ye Heping reached the highest point first, then condescended, and pressed the ball down abruptly with the momentum of Mount Tai.

With consecutive blocked shots, the eyes of Los Angeles fans began to glow with excitement, but everything is not over yet.

It was chaos again, James relied on his strong body to grab the basketball, then pushed the defender away, and directly attacked the frame.

But because the confrontation was a bit big, James couldn't take off the ball completely, and the height was not enough.

In front of him, the golden number 24 soared into the sky again, and then covered the sky and the sun.

James felt something was wrong, but the jumping height was not high enough, and his body couldn't adjust, so he could only watch Ye Heping's big hand pat him.

Snapped!
The ball was slapped hard and went straight out of bounds.

The Cavaliers have the ball, they don't lose.

But overwhelming cheers broke out at the scene, and only one-third of the fans in Staples Center were all crazy.

On the Lakers bench, the remaining Lakers players all stood up, waved towels, roared, hugged and danced together...

Three consecutive blocks, and the target is the three main players of the Cavaliers: James, Big Z, Gooden... Unbelievable!
"Holyshit! Holyshit! Holy..."

There was continuous swearing in the commentary booth, but apart from swearing, the commentator and guest commentators didn't know what to say.

"Fortunately, I didn't bring the playing cards, otherwise I would have missed this scene."

After holding back for a long time, the commentator came up with such a sentence.

这一刻，叶和平的数据是6分6篮板3助攻1抢断5盖帽。
