I really just want to strike

only......

Speaking of it, it still feels unbelievable that there are so many billion points.

Because on this night, it is not someone else who makes the Lakers players must resolutely shoot from the outside...

It was Jeff Van Gundy who insisted on forcing Alan Houston to shoot a "three-pointer on the line".

Moreover, Van Gundy gave a good reason at the time.

"Three points is more than two points, isn't it one more point?

In addition, don't you know that a 10-of-3 three-pointer is basically the same as a 10-of-5 two-pointer in terms of efficiency? "Before the game, when Director Lu was hesitating...

I saw Van Gundy looked at Director Lu with a puzzled look and asked.

The result, it turns out.

On this night, Su Feng and Kobe jointly hit 11 three-pointers, which indeed destroyed the Blazers' defense to a large extent.

"Tell me, why didn't I understand these principles when I was coaching the Knicks?" Van Gundy asked curiously that night, looking at Lu's guidance.

Guidance Lu: "..."

You tm asked me...

Who can I ask?

"By the way, Jeff, do you have any ideas for the next game?" After the game, Director Lu asked with his arms around Van Gundy's shoulders.

On the sidelines, after shaking his head, Van Gundy immediately looked at Su Feng who was still fighting with Kobe on the court.

"He can guide us to a farther future.

Tyron, if you didn't understand that it was Su who won this game, not me...

Then I suggest you, retire as soon as possible, and give me the position of coach of the Lakers as soon as possible! "Looking at Director Lu solemnly, Van Gundy said, "I want to see you in poverty."

Guidance Lu: "..."

really!

Since becoming the head coach of the Lakers...

Every day there are people who want to harm me!

but......

Director Lu, who thought Van Gundy was taking the opportunity to tease him, didn't know that...

What Van Gundy said just now was definitely not a compliment to Su Feng.

Because the more you chat with Su Feng about details related to tactics...

The more Van Gundy felt that the horror of this man was beyond the imagination of the world.

"There's no problem that one three points can't solve.

If so, make another one. "

On the morning of the 4th, before the rest of the Lakers came to the training hall, looking at Su Feng who was warming up with Kobe through a bullfight, Van Gundy will never forget the look Su Feng looked at him at that time.

And it was at that moment...

Van Gundy found that...

Whether it is John Davis, who is admired by the world, or Spoelstra, who has been recognized by everyone as a generation of famous coach...

seem......

Nothing special.

"Tmd, why did you take advantage of this kid, Tai Lun?"

This night, looking at Director Lu's naive look...

Van Gundy was desperate.

What makes Van Gundy even more desperate is that...

At the press conference after the game, when people asked why the Lakers shot so crazily from the outside in this game...

Director Lu also copied his words exactly.

Van Gundy: "..."

No!

Can't you tm have your own understanding and things?

Guidance Lu: As a head coach, if you copy the tactics of your assistant coach, can that be called copying?

That's called being good at listening to suggestions and analyzing and integrating them. Do you understand as a teaching assistant?

Van Gundy: "..."

……

Chapter 768 The strongest opponent, the unexpected award is announced!

On May 5, the G8 game between the Lakers and the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals was moved to the North Shore Garden Arena in Portland.

As a result, on this magical night...

Only 4 minutes into the game, I sprained my ankle because I stepped on the instep of my teammate Shane Battier while defending.

really......

Even if this life has been upgraded from "58 guns" to "61 guns", you can still choose to trust Chris-I cannon when the chain is dropped at a critical moment.

On the court, Paul's injury disrupted the Blazers' game plan.

Because the Blazers' other two backup point guards, Rodriguez and Blake, could not replace Paul's role on the defensive end, so after Paul was injured, they obviously couldn't cut off the Lakers' internal and external connections as before.

And for this assist from Paul...

How could Su Feng and Kobe, who have always been good at seizing opportunities, miss it?

Before, even if Carter was passed, Kobe would always be blocked by other Trail Blazers players in the first place. Therefore, don't look at the Lakers' success in the G2 game by throwing three-pointers madly to break the game set by the Trail Blazers.

But actually...

Kobe has never been able to take advantage of his matchup with Carter.

However......

With Paul injured and leaving the field, in order to encircle Su Feng, the absolute leader of the Lakers, how can the Blazers have extra support to give Carter at this moment?

North Shore Gardens.

On the Lakers' first offense after Paul's injury, Kobe faked Carter on the left wing and scored a picturesque shot for the Lakers before the Blazers' much slower help defense arrived. dry pull.

Immediately afterwards, after Garnett turned around with a big jumper to assist Su Feng, Su Feng, who was in charge of dribbling the ball for half court, also stopped with a super long three-pointer that was 28 feet away from the ring. pioneer!

On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, seeing this scene, Director Lu couldn't help but patted his thigh and said with emotion: "I fucking love three-pointers!"

On the side, Van Gundy looked at Director Lu contemptuously, and asked: "In this league, there are many excellent three-point shooters.

But do you know why none of them can be as hard to guard as Su? "

Hearing this, Director Lu was stopped by Van Gundy.

So, after a long sigh, Van Gundy immediately gave his own understanding: "In the 90s when the NBA as a whole advocated defense, the reason why Michael Jordan couldn't solve it was because he had a hand that could attack you from all angles. Offensive pull-ups and fall-backs.

Especially the two 45-degree defensive blind spots on the court.

If the defensive area that a defensive player can take care of is the fan-shaped area in front of him...

In the same way, no matter how a team's defensive system changes, it is generally fan-shaped.

Therefore, in the era when the NBA had not officially introduced zone defense...

The era when inside players had to rely on hand-to-hand combat to fight their way out.

Michael Jordan, who has become more and more mature in his own skills, is the incomprehensible basketball god. "

"But what does this have to do with Su?" Director Lu asked curiously.

"Because Sue is essentially the same type of player as Michael.

So no matter how you target him, you can only increase his shooting cost, not kill him from the root. added Van Gundy.

After a pause, before Director Lu took over, Van Gundy continued: "But with the development of modern basketball, Su seems to me to be an upgraded version of Michael."

Looking at Van Gundy, Director Lu asked, "Jeff, why did you say that?"

"Because with the increasing weight of the three-point shot in basketball games.

Everyone is much more cautious than before when defending three-pointers.

Tyronn, do you know why the vast majority of three-point shooters can't shoot as smoothly as Su? "Van Gundy asked back.

Director Lu shook his head very honestly.

"Because for NBA players with long hands and feet, it's just a blink of an eye to complete the rotation on the court.

Therefore, if we say that the mid-range attack relies on the player's shot advantage without dead ends, and uses the opponent's defensive blind spot to complete the attack...

For the three-point attack, you must let your pitcher extend the range farther! After taking the tactical board from Director Lu, and fiddled with the magnets on it, Van Gundy quickly made Director Lu understand the true meaning contained in it.

Well known.

With the continuous evolution of pitchers in today's league, generally as long as the opponent's pitcher appears in a dangerous position, that is, near the three-point line, the defensive player is bound to take the initiative to go up and pester him.

Therefore, most pitchers must rely on the pick-and-roll of teammates or the blessing of tactics to get around the open space.

But what about at a greater distance?

Even before Su Feng crossed over and was reborn, how many defensive players would pester you from halftime?

Just like offensive players have to consider the cost of shots.

Defensive players also have to consider defensive costs.

In Su Feng's previous life, before Curry finished gaining muscle, he was one of the few players in the NBA who could receive this kind of treatment on the court.

Because by putting Curry on his body and interfering with his shooting rhythm, for the defensive side at this time, no matter how high the defensive cost they have to pay, it is worth it.

but......

Su Feng dared to say...

In the future, as Curry completes his muscle gain, staring at him like this is tantamount to courting death.

Just like this night after Paul left the field, Pierce was still man-marking Su Feng.

Because Su Feng's strength ensures that you can't prevent him from passing the ball every time you defend, so on the field, after returning from a timeout, Su Feng dribbled the ball twice in a row to overtake, directly rushed into the Blazers' basket and Completed the one-handed snap.

Obvious.

No matter how fast the rotation assists defense, it is impossible to prevent this unexpected... lightning-like breakthrough!

At this time, on the Lakers' bench, Director Lu found out in a trance...

It turned out that Su Feng's thighs were much thicker than he imagined!

First of all, because he is fast, you can't stick him from too far away.

However, because he is accurate, in order to prevent being directly killed by him, you have to defend him from a long distance.

However, once you post him in this position, as long as he speeds up...

If your follow-up defense can't be in place like before, you are destined to be easily rushed to the basket by him like just now.

And most desperately...

Even if he has a bad sniper night, you still have to guard against his attacks from all angles inside the three-point line.

In Su Feng's original time and space, why was the "frame monster" who led his team to kill the Warriors in the finals compared to "Jordan of today"?

Because apart from the fact that the speed is not fast enough, and it will "stuck" when it protrudes, you don't even know how difficult Leonard is to defend when he is on the three-pointer.

The only regret is.

Since Xiaoka only played a dominant role in the finals of that year...

Therefore, "Car Jordan" still failed to become the real Jordan after all.

Just like in the Melo era, there will always be one or two players who can be slightly close to them in a certain season.
