Chapter 418 Winged Tiger

  The sun attack is still a steady and steady positional battle.

   "Positional warfare can only be used as a supplementary tactic."

With a sigh, D'Antoni shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, the ugly positional battles lacked any passion, and the Supersonics' play was a hundred times better and a hundred times more advanced than the Suns.

   This kind of tactic is too utilitarian, just playing for the sake of winning has completely lost the passion and fun of sports.

   On the field, Pharaoh wanted the ball in the low position on the left wing, and Ilwain topped the defense.

   The other four of the Suns can be said to have the ability to make three-pointers and mid-range and long-range shots. Even the Lightning made up for the weakness of the three-pointer, so the offensive lineup was widened, leaving Pharaoh alone in the low post.

  The Supersonics adopted a defensive tactic of shrinking as a whole, but the shrinkage was not too severe, two meters, leaving a small gap in each position.

   With this small space, they can complete the defense in time.

   So Lightning still passed the ball, Pharaoh took the ball and used a powerful low-post attack to further compress the opponent's defense and gain more space for the outside line.

When the ball was passed in, the Sonics responded quickly, and Schramf on the top pounced. At the same time, Rainman Camp on the weak side also completely released Rasheed Wallace and pounced.

  Wang Tiejun saw the opponent's double-team. At this time, the ball arrived, his left elbow was stuck, and his right hand caught the ball. In the next instant, he threw with one hand and gave Horry, who was emptied by Schramf on the three-point line above.

  Schramf quickly turned back to defend and pounced on Horry.

   It’s just that Pharaoh’s passing speed was fast, Horry took the ball and jumped out, Schramf’s defense was still a beat slower, and the ball flew over his palm.

"brush!"

  The water splashed and the three-pointer hit.

   "Horry's current open-point three-pointers are still good and stable." Su Qun said.

   "Horry has successfully transformed now, three points + defense, referred to as a 3D player." Zhang Lili laughed.

  Suqun analyzed: "Director Zhang, Old K's ability to score the ball in double teams is so strong, why does his opponent still insist on double teams?"

   Zhang Lili said with a smile: "It's very simple, in the past, the Tiejun's reliance on fighting was too lethal, and the defenders couldn't stand it without double-teaming single defense.

   Double-teaming is a little bit better. The shooting rate of the outside vacancy is not necessarily as high as that of the old K's singles, and it can also avoid the injury of the single defense. "

  Suqun nodded and smiled: "That's true. But now that there is K-law, why do they still choose to double-team?"

   Zhang Lili thought for a while and said, "I think it's still a matter of efficiency. Even with the K-law, there are almost no people in the world who can defend the Iron Army alone. I haven't seen anyone who can really suppress the Iron Army's attack in a limited way.

  You see, in the face of his high offensive efficiency in solo defense, if you don't double-team him, he consumes less physical energy and can increase some attacks. Who can stand it then?

The so-called two evils are the lesser of the two. Instead of letting him hit an 80% hit rate in a solo defense, it would be better to double-team. At least with the K-law, teaming Tiejun doesn’t have to think about getting hurt. problem. "

   nodded, and Su Qun said again: "But the Suns' shooting ability is much stronger than last season, and it is too difficult for them to double-team."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Indeed, if there are no three-pointers, the SuperSonics can greatly shrink from the beginning, making it easier and faster to double-team. But the Suns are a little troublesome with their strong three-pointer and long-range shooting ability. ."

   In the next time, the Sonics continued their fast-paced style on the offensive end, trying to disrupt the rhythm of the Suns and win in chaos.

   But the Lightning strengthened the defense against Payton, and Kobe and Horry helped defend from the side, thus creating opportunities for Pharaoh's return defense and achieving the effect of suppressing the supersonic fast break.

  Pharaoh and Trolls teamed up to block the penalty area, and the two sent a total of four big caps in the first quarter.

The    sprayer gave Rainman one big hat, and Pharaoh gave three big hats, two of which were given to Rainman and one to Peyton.

  Rain Man swallowed three hats in a row, and was covered with blood, and his morale was completely lost.

  Through strong defense, the Suns attacked the opponent's momentum well and prevented the opponent's plan to hit the penalty area.

  The offensive end was suppressed, and the Sonics continued to double-team tactics on the defensive end, but the effect was not very good.

  Pharaoh did not attack the Supersonics through a powerful attack, but through continuous scoring and instigation of fast breaks, the Supersonics were beaten to death.

  Because he didn't attack much and didn't consume much physical energy, he played the first quarter, sending out three direct assists and two indirect assists in a single quarter, and also launched four defensive counterattacks and fast breaks, replacing most of Lightning's functions.

   Under his leadership, at 22:32, the Suns led by 10 points in a single quarter at home.

   The other four are the beneficiaries, and everyone has received his points, among which Kobe is the biggest beneficiary.

As the youngest person in the lineup, Kobe ran the fastest and the speed was also the fastest. The opponent Hawkins couldn't keep up with his speed. Most of the fast breaks were terminated by him. Pointed the ball and shot 0 for 10 points.

   7 offenses, 5 fast breaks, 4 successful shots, two shots in positional battles are also open balls, hitting a two-pointer.

   Wang made 2 of 3 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and got 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul.

On the Suns bench, Kobe Bryant, who scored 10 points in a single quarter, swelled up, no, his confidence was bursting. He sat next to the water dispenser and stretched out his upper body, shouting to Pharaoh across a dozen people: "Old K, today I am It feels good, I'm going to attack with the ball."

   "Rookie, we all want to win, but you want to lose alone?" Old Wang said in surprise.

   "Haha..." The bench burst into laughter.

   Kobe hummed angrily and turned his head.

   In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Tiejun rarely hits triple-doubles, but in fact he has the ability to triple-doubles.

   He has a vision that Da Meng does not have, his passing ability is stronger than Da Meng, and his organizational skills are not bad. As long as he wants, his chances of getting assists should be higher than Da Meng. "

  Su Qun smiled and said, "What he likes most is to attack by himself."

"right."

Zhang Lili nodded and added: "But now with the K-law, his arrogant ability to break double teams is greatly limited, so strengthening passing is the best way to break double teams. Look at him as long as Playing a few games with assists in double figures, if the cost of double-teaming is too high, who would dare to double-team him easily?"

Su Qun smiled at this time: "But Director Zhang, you just said that the lesser of two evils, it is better to double-team him than to let Old K play 80% of the offensive efficiency in the case of single defense. A single game can often assist in double figures, is it a double team or not?"

   Zhang Lili laughed and said, "This is a problem. It's like a tiger. If you add wings to such a beast, it will be really difficult to deal with, and it will be difficult for the prey to fly!"

   "Haha..." The two laughed.

   In the second quarter, the Suns fielded a half-main and half-reserve lineup.

  The inside line was joined by Williams and Rasheed Wallace. The latter went off the court in the 9th minute of the first quarter and had no physical problem.

  The perimeter is Wilkins playing the 3rd position, Chapman playing the 2nd position, and Kidd playing the 1st position.

Bill Walton said in a sarcastic tone: "The Suns' bench lineup is actually comparable to the main lineup of some bad teams. Many teams in the playoffs use eight-player rotations, and the Suns can even achieve ten-player rotations. At least nine people."

Bass Felton smiled, shook his head and said: "No, Williams is completely useless this season, Chapman is too glassy and can't play the main force, Wilkins can play for twenty minutes this season. If it is slow, the efficiency will drop, and it will not work.

  The other substitutes are marginal and have little ability. They don’t have much chance in the playoffs. The rotation time is definitely shorter than the regular season rotation time, and the main force must play for a longer time. "

  Bill Walton nodded, but asked another question, saying: "The Suns' seventh pick didn't play in the second quarter, played 11 minutes in the first quarter, scored 10 points, and looked good.

   However, I noticed a problem, his scoring in addition to the fast break is open shots, which does not seem to be conducive to his growth. "

   "Oh?" Basfelton asked, "How?"

Bill Walton explained: "I have noticed his draft information, he is a shooting guard with the ability to hold the ball, he can break through with the ball, he can shoot three-pointers, he can also make pull-up jumpers, and he is better at scoring dunks after breaking through. , The skills are very comprehensive, the template is Jordan, and he also learns Jordan's skills and style. But now, he seems to be a fast break and spot-up shooter."

   Basfelton was stunned for a moment, then nodded involuntarily and said: "This is impossible, when there is a behemoth in the low position, the outside line will be forced to make changes to meet the needs of this behemoth.

   But Kobe still attacked with the ball. He did in the regular season. He was not allowed to hold the ball in the playoffs. I think this is right. The Suns will definitely not give the offensive flag to a rookie. "

   But they were all wrong, the Suns didn't try to make Kobe a spot-up shooter.

Kobe didn't have as many opportunities in the playoffs as in the regular season. Basically, he played without the ball, but his training content was very rich, but he didn't have the opportunity to use it. This is also a championship team like the Suns. The special thing is that the regular season can still give some opportunities, but it is impossible to give rookies so many opportunities in the playoffs.

   His main task in the playoffs is to defend, defend, counterattack, play fast break, and shoot a fixed-point open ball.

   The second quarter continued. Pharaoh went on the court after a three-minute rest, forcing almost all of the Sonics' main force to play, and also changed their defensive tactics.

   The Supersonics double-teamed him in the first quarter, but this time they did not double-team him. His passing ability greatly hurt the Supersonics.

"boom!"

On the first offense after playing, he knocked over the Sonics' backup forward Sam Perkins with a ferocious back play, then turned around and stepped up and used a ferocious one-handed dunk to tell the Sonics. The head coach Crazy Karl, single defense, I attack, double team, I pass, no matter what tactics you use, you will never be able to defend me.

This attack was just the beginning, and then he hit two more in a row, which made Sam Perkins lose his life. After being knocked over again, he didn't dare to block it for the third time. Wang attacked the basket, and his performance was very embarrassing.

Perkins does have some defensive strength, but the tonnage is only close to 120 kilograms, and the height plus shoes is only 206 centimeters. Pharaoh's current tonnage has reached 135 kilograms, and his explosive power has reached 86. For a giant center, it is absolutely It is a first-class explosive force, so no matter what method you use to defend, you can't stop it.

  George Karl can only call a timeout, change the defensive tactics, and let Payton strengthen the blockade of the Lightning, trying to lock the Suns' perimeter and achieve the goal of defense.

   This move is quite useful. After all, Lightning is old and slow, and Payton is 8 cm taller than him. With the advantage of wingspan, the defense is very fierce, which has a certain effect on his blockade.

   With the help of the outside defense, the Sonics played a good offensive and defensive performance in the second quarter and began to narrow the points difference.

After Lightning and Kobe made three mistakes in succession, the SuperSonics had already caught up with 7 points. Zhang Lili couldn't sit still and shouted: "The SuperSonics suddenly strengthened the perimeter blockade, and it is difficult for the Tiejun to catch the ball inside. , don't let your opponent take a stand, if there are signs, you must react in time, hold down, this is the home game!"

  Suqun also said anxiously: "The Lightning and Kobe made three mistakes in total. Payton and Hawkins' defense suddenly strengthened, and they completed two steals in a row. They are still ahead by 8 points."

   When the opponent was chasing points frantically, Danny Ainge, the rookie head coach's rookie attribute, exploded. He didn't observe the changes on the field, his reaction was slow, and he didn't call a timeout to adjust his tactics.

Sweeping the Kings in the first round is because the opponent is too weak, but the SuperSonics are not the kind of team that the Kings barely make it to the playoffs. Without strength, it's not surprising that the Suns lose the game if they don't cope well.

   Now the head coach's reaction is one step slower, which will inevitably affect the field, unable to make tactical adjustments in time, and failures are likely to follow.

When Danny Ainge found that something was wrong and called a timeout, the Supersonics made another three-pointer, and the point difference had narrowed from a maximum of 15 points to 5 points, and was chased by the Supersonics for 10 points. The second quarter is almost over, and there is only one minute left.

"This is inexperience. Anyway, the Supersonics have obviously strengthened the quality of offense and defense just now, and they are very aggressive. It is also good to call a timeout to interrupt the opponent's rhythm. Now there is only one minute left, but another timeout was called. , what's the use? I don't call when I should, and I call again when I shouldn't." Zhang Lili shook his head.

  Suqun said: "I think little Colangelo's experience is also insufficient, so Danny Anji should not be the head coach."

   Zhang Lili said: "It was transitional at the beginning, but I didn't expect to play very well in the regular season, so I did it like this."

Su Qun shook his head and said: "In the regular season, he just rigidly copied the tactics of last season, and he fought back and forth, that is, pass in from the outside, let the old K play, and if the old K can't play, he will be split out and let the outside shoot, or the defensive counterattack. , the fast break after grabbing the backcourt rebound, etc., his role is not very big, he picked up a best coach for nothing. Now when the playoffs are reached, the original is revealed."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "It's all in the playoffs, so this is the only way to see if the coach will change next season. I'm worried about this second round. George Karl is called Crazy Karl. His tactics are crazy and radical. Once you get to your dead end, you're going to bite at it like crazy, and if you don't deal with it, the Suns are likely to lose."

  TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton was analyzing the situation just now and said: "Obviously, in the head coach matchup, the Sonics won.

Jordan Zhika used Payton's top defensive ability, and at the same time used Kobe's rookie belonging to lock the Suns' perimeter. Tactical and player execution victory. "

Busfelton nodded and said: "Peyton's defense is really strong. He should be the most defensive point guard in the league. He forced the Lightning to make two mistakes in eight minutes. Defensive effect is very good.

In addition, the shooting guard Jose Hawkins is also a good offensive and defensive shooting guard. This season, he averaged 1.9 steals per game. He prevented the rookie Kobe Bryant very well. In just 8 minutes, Kobe made a mistake and forced him to make a mistake. Kobe made two threes. "

   Bill Walton said: "Now the Suns have a way to solve the problem, with a play they used to play in the regular season."

   "Oh, what tactic is that?" Basfelton asked quickly.

   On the Suns bench, Pharaoh wiped off a few sweats, drank an envy energy drink, and drank a bottle of pure water, looking at Danny Anji in front of him angrily.

Just a few minutes ago, he was exhausted on the field. He just ran to the frontcourt, made a mistake on the outside, and immediately returned to the backcourt, and the Supersonic attack tempo was too fast. He had to run back to the front court again, and he didn't do anything, he just ran back and forth on the court.

   Of course, the physical energy consumption of reentry running is not too big for him, far less than the consumption of low position confrontation, but the important thing is that it is useless to run too much!

   Danny Anji was stared at by Pharaoh, his face was very bitter, he felt that he might not be able to get the contract renewal.

He really thinks it right. Little Colangelo not far away is thinking about this problem. Danny Ainge is still too bad. It can be used in the regular season, but it will not work if it encounters a real strong team in the playoffs. .

   He can't be fooled by 73 wins in the regular season, thinking that it is Danny Ainge's real coaching ability. Now that the team is rebuilt, he needs to find another suitable head coach for this team.

Several assistant coaches are not suitable. Lewis and Nelson Jr. don't have that ability. D'Antoni has been a head coach in Italy for many years, but this guy's tactics are completely unsuitable for Old K. Handing over the team to him might make him. He plays away.
