I can't be a basketball god
Chapter 30 I want to hear the iron strike one more time!
Chapter 30 I want to hear the iron strike one more time!
Visiting team locker room.
First half break.
As soon as the door was pushed open, coach Van Gundy immediately started the hair dryer mode.
"Everyone be quiet, listen to me.
The configuration of the Lakers is very strong. With a superstar of O'Neal's level, the offense cannot be stopped.
But, it doesn't matter, the Lakers are not so strong that they are invincible, they also have weaknesses.
The Lakers have internal and external cores. Because of Ewing's absence, we can't stand O'Neal.
However, Kobe, their outside core, is still very young, which is a flaw.
The Lakers' starting lineup has undergone a major change, and only O'Neal was the starter last season.
Rodman, Harper, and Rice all joined the Lakers this season, and even Kobe was the first player who won this season.
In addition, the Lakers also changed coaches halfway. Their head coach Kurt Rambis is the first time coaching an NBA team, and he must not have rich on-the-spot experience. "
"They have a lot more problems than our Knicks.
In the second quarter, Camby and Ye Feng have already used their performance on the court to demonstrate to us that we can beat the Lakers in front of us.
Our lineup is indeed incomplete, and the situation is a bit down, but please don't forget that the Knicks are always a championship team.
There is no shortcut to competing for a championship.
There is only one way in front of you, and that is to defeat all opponents in front of you and solve all the problems you face.
The aging lineup, injuries, players running-in, poor record, declining state, competition for the status of core players, etc., are not the reasons for our loss.
In this game, we will fight desperately against the Lakers, which is also a championship team, just to regain our original intention at the beginning of the season, play the momentum of a championship-level team, and firmly believe that we can beat any opponent confidence. "Van Gundy said a lot of morale-inspiring words in one breath, paused, and then continued, "Let's talk about the tactics of the second half of the game.
It is still the same as before the game. We have to open the situation from the outside. Only in this way can we fight the Lakers with O'Neal.
The Knicks are one of the most paid teams in the league. We haven't even gotten a ticket to the playoffs. What will the outside media think of us?
If we keep losing, we'll just be the butt of jokes in other people's mouths..."
Van Gundy blew hot and then cold, which not only boosted morale, but also put pressure on the players.
The 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, whether it is long or short, Van Gundy's so-called tactics are another set of tactics to win the world, fake defense and star singles. Naturally, there is nothing to talk about. Only by blowing the wind can players Keep fighting.
……
The recuperation time is over, and the game is back in the second half.
Apart from the fact that Van Gundy's tactics have not changed, there has been no change in the formation of troops and the appearance of players.
Even in the first half of the game, knowing that he couldn't match the Lakers' lineup, he didn't change his lineup easily.
You can say that he is stubborn, or he can't learn well, anyway, he can achieve the record of the youngest head coach in NBA history, naturally he knows the truth that he needs to be famous early!
In other words, the knowledge of coaching NBA teams has gone away, and in a person's life, it is estimated that if you learn it in the soil, you may not be able to learn it all.
Therefore, he is very self-aware, that is, he fights endlessly with that set of defensive tactics.
As long as he insists on perfecting this set of tactics, he will be able to maintain the lower limit of his coaching performance.
As for the upper limit, it depends on his luck?
Can you meet top stars and top configurations?
The players for the Knicks are point guard Charlie Ward, shooting guard Alan Houston, small forward Larry Johnson, power forward Kurt Thomas, and center Marcus Camby.
On the Lakers side, Kurt Rambis will also take the starting five.
Harper, Kobe, Rice, Rodman, O'Neal.
beep-!
With the sound of the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially started.
On the court, the players started fighting again, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out, going all out.
Bang-!
O'Neal received a pass from Harper under the basket, knocked away two pendants, Camby and Thomas, and with a bang, dunked with both hands, and scored the basketball strongly.
The Knicks attack, Alan Houston grinds for 20 seconds, and then, facing Kobe's defense, makes a two-point jumper.
Boom-!
"Alan Houston didn't hit the mid-range shot, the ball went wide and got taken by Rodman at the basket.
With one shot, Rodman sent the basketball forward. "
"Kobe rushed out, knocked Alan Houston away, got the basketball smoothly, and started sprinting..."
Three steps and two steps, rush up and fight back.
Kobe's physical talent, at this moment, is fully reflected, and he can't even pull it up when he rushes up.
"Under the basket, Kobe flew up, his body was very stretched, people gave him the nickname 'Little Flying Man', it's not a joke, Kobe pulled the bar in the air, switched his right hand to his left, and slammed dunks hard."
Boom-!
After Kobe's dunk, he landed on both feet, opened his arms, and began to fly, like a jet landing.
The Knicks wanted to open the situation from the outside. As a result, Larry Johnson hit Rice forcefully, and with a bang, he also failed to score. The consecutive offenses failed to score.
Looking back, he was hit by the Lakers with a three-pointer. Rice received a point from O'Neal, caught and shot...
Swish-!
The net flowers are overflowing.
The Lakers' offense has been wave after wave.
……
5 minute later.
Knicks coaching bench.
Jeff Van Gundy's face was as pale as a frosted eggplant.
He kept pacing back and forth on the sidelines, looking anxious.
But it's useless to be anxious, he is just a defensive coach, and the Knicks can't start the offense, so he can't do anything.
On the court, the Knicks' best player has already been placed, what else can he do?
At the beginning of the second half, he was still trying to direct the team from the sidelines. If the team lost points, he could still applaud the players on the field.
however…
The scene is so ugly.
It was too difficult for the Knicks to score.
In every attack, the offensive time is almost used up, and then, the defensive players are forced to shoot in the middle.
Can't see any fit.
Without Ewing, without the fulcrum, the Knicks' offense is only singled out.
Unfortunately, they are not very good at heads-up.
Or, players who mainly defend single-handedly, like Kobe and Rice, are very strong in single-handed defense.
Coupled with the fact that the Lakers have two master rebounders under the basket, the Knicks can't make shots and have almost no chance of a second offense.
"The Knicks are without Ewing, it's like they don't have a soul.
The strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all. Not long after the start of the second half, the Knicks fell behind by more than 10 points.
And O'Neal's offense is too incomprehensible. As long as he gets the basketball, he can dunk and score. Whether it is Camby or Thomas, the Knicks know that they can't resist people just by looking at their bodies. "
"..."
Ye Feng sat on the bench and shook his head.
If you want to blame, you can only blame the gorilla. That guy is too reliable, and the Knicks rely too much on him.
The Knicks shouted to hit the NBA championship, but they didn't have an inside meat shield.
From this point of view, half of the problem also lies with O'Neill.
He has been with the Lakers for the third year and has yet to bring the Lakers to the Finals.
As a result, the teams in the East went more outside to supplement their strength.
Don't ask, the question is that Jordan is too strong.
If you want to break out from the East, you must defeat the two outside superstars in the Bulls, Jordan and Pippen.
Who would have thought that Jordan suddenly stopped playing, and retired as soon as he said he would retire.
Retired in January, and the new season started in February, and it was too late to prepare.
Besides, the Knicks are an Eastern team, and they only play 2 games with the Lakers every year.
The two sides reached the finals, and there were less than 10 games.
Therefore, the Knicks don't have to be so urgent to deal with O'Neal.
[System prompt: Host, you strongly feel the powerful strength of O'Neill, No.1 in the current alliance, and you have triggered a hidden mission - launch the shark-slaying tactic. 】
Mission Difficulty: Hell.
Mission brief introduction: Shaquille O'Neal, nicknamed "Big Shark".
Possessing unparalleled physical talent, he is at his peak and has gradually grown into No.1 in the league.
He is the league's No. [-] low-post killer, and he is tasting the sweetness brought to him by his physical strength.
However, life is always ups and downs.
When O'Neal's physical strength was invincible in the league, his control over the strength of the basketball began to decline. Coupled with his growing fat, his shooting touch has gradually left him.
Of course, he wouldn't care.
With his huge palm, he sings mineral water, just like drinking oral liquid.
The basketball, in his hands, is just a small toy.
It is definitely a painful event for him to practice his touch.
Lately, he has also become obsessed with donuts, and losing weight is impossible.
Launch the Shark Slash Tactic as soon as possible!Make him feel the pain on the basketball court, send him to the free throw line, make him look constipated.
Task information: A minimum of three shark strikes is required, and the number of free throws cannot exceed one.
Mission rewards: make specimens, Shaquille O'Neal planet experience card; reduce downgrade risk by 2 points. (The host's hit value is perfect, and the probability of the next downgrade is: 7/10.)
Mission penalty: randomly freeze an attribute and a skill for a period of one month.
Increase risk of relegation by 2 points.
[Reminder: You, the host, are also carrying a hidden mission. This mission can be performed selectively. If the host starts to commit fouls, you will accept the mission by default. 】
……
"..."
Seeing the hidden task information, Ye Feng was speechless.
This task is simply not easy to complete.
Shark hacking tactics.
In fact, in 1999, the head coach of the Mavericks, Nelson, launched a countermeasure against O'Neal's inside offense and his poor free throws.
It's just that such a tactic is simply impossible for one person to execute.
It is not unreasonable to be rated as hell-level difficulty.
To complete this task, O'Neal must be allowed to go to the free throw line at least three times, and the two hits are not counted.
Now Ye Feng has already committed 1 foul, and before 6 fouls are graduated, he only has 5 shots.
Now there is another problem, that is, Ye Feng is an outside player, and O'Neal is an inside player.
The Lakers almost don't play pick-and-roll tactics, and Ye Feng doesn't have many opportunities to face O'Neal directly.
Therefore, ideally, in a game, the Knicks fouled 5 times. In this case, as long as the Knicks foul, the Lakers will have a chance to get free throws.
Ye Feng had the chance to foul O'Neal off the ball.
This alone is inseparable from the cooperation of the team.
Moreover, if Ye Feng plays, the opponent is Rice or Kobe.
One can shoot the ball, the other can break through, and even half a point of defensive slack is not allowed. Ye Feng still wants to run to the inside, just to commit a foul.
It’s okay if the shark-killing tactic succeeds, but if it fails, O’Neal’s free throw happens to be smooth, which will definitely affect his overall performance evaluation.
Maybe, his amazing performance in front of him will be in vain.
After using up the Klay Thompson star experience card, risking the failure of the main task, and ruining his previous efforts for a covert task that is almost impossible to complete, Ye Feng chose because he couldn't think about it. To perform that mission?
"The risk is still too great. With this in mind, I might as well think about how to go on the court to complete Kobe's task of 'Four Yangs and Three Irons'.
After all, that mission is only one time away from being completed. "Just as Ye Feng was thinking, Van Gundy, who had no other options, thought of Ye Feng, so he immediately said to Ye Feng, "It's your turn to play, wait to play, you replace Charlie Ward, let Alan Houston To play point guard, he can't deal with Kobe, let him beat Harper.
Then, Kobe will hand it over to you. "
Ye Feng was about to play, and Van Gundy was still trying to talk about the details of playing.
It has to be said that Van Gundy does not have the big picture, but he did the small details in great detail.
Then there was a dead ball on the court, Ye Feng replaced Charlie Ward, stepped onto the court, and explained the head coach's tactics to Alan Houston.
"Head coach, arrange for you to bully Harper, and then, Kobe will hand it over to me, and you will play point guard."
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Alan Houston looked at Ye Feng blankly and nodded.
It is impossible for him to refuse, because he was terribly defended by Kobe.
Perhaps, against Harper, we can regain his scoring confidence!
"Hey, rookie, you're going to take the blame for Alan Houston, aren't you?
Next, don't expect to have any performance from you. If Alan Houston can't do it, you can't do it well! "Kobe saw Ye Feng covering Alan Houston, so he didn't bother to go around and stared at Ye Feng on the spot.
After all, in his opinion, Ye Feng is more interesting to him. Alan Houston is just a laggard, and he beat him down, so naturally he has no interest.
Ye Feng smiled brightly, and replied, "Okay, it's exactly what I want!"
I want to listen to it one more time, the sound of your blacksmithing!
