NBA Backer King

Chapter 428: Old K is my apprentice

  In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley analyzed: "Old K is still quite calm and did not force a shot in a double team."

Bill Walton said: "Campbell and the postman have a lot of tonnage. Old K lost the most favorable side-by-side attack and the most favorable for turning around. The double-teaming of these two people can cause considerable confusion to him. So it's not easy to play against each other in a double-team."

  Barkley smiled and said: "But I believe that old K is capable of shooting in double teams, but the efficiency will be reduced. He will not do it easily. He is a guy who pursues efficiency."

   At this time, the Jazz advanced to the frontcourt, Campbell pulled to the left wing again, and the Postman pulled up again for a pick-and-roll.

   Stockton used the wall to break through, and Wang Tiejun, who was at the left waist, chose to return to the defense again.

   But this time back on defense, he did it more carefully, instead of going directly to the basket, he was going to block Stockton's layup from the flank.

   In this way, his position is high, which can cut off both Stockton and Campbell, who is vacated by him.

  If Stockton chooses to lob, either he or Horry will have more time to get back on Campbell.

Stockton didn't choose to give it to Campbell. He didn't dare to lay up in front of the old K. Instead, he pulled to the right and made a second pick-and-roll with Hornacek on the right wing. given to the other party.

   One step away from the right waist, Hornacek caught the ball, made a fake shot, shook Kidd who was pounced, and then took off twice.

   Just at this moment, a huge figure rushed towards him with the sound of wind.

"Snapped!"

   Under the rush, Wang Tiejun grabbed Hornacek's jumper with one hand.

   "Grab the cap! Old K grab the cap and death light gun!" The live commentator's passionate roar suddenly sounded.

"Oh!"

   On the sidelines, Senasek's wife sighed and looked away, unable to bear to see her husband get caught.

   "Bad guy snaps..."

   Seeing that my dear father was bullied, Abby, who was more than three years old, shouted unhappily.

  The Suns did not play a fast break and entered a positional battle.

  Pharaoh took the ball in the low post on the left wing, Campbell tried his best to defend and interfered with his passing, and then the Postman quickly implemented the weak-side help.

He can force a shot, but the hit rate will definitely not be high, so he chose to score the ball, carried Campbell with his left elbow, took a step up with his right foot, and threw his right hand sharply to Rashi who was a step in the right bottom corner. De Wallace.

   Hornacek on the right wing lost the lightning and made up for defense at full speed. Unfortunately, Pharaoh passed the ball very fast, almost straight, and his defense was still a beat slower. By the time he arrived, the sprayer had already shot a jumper.

"boom!"

   Missed the open ball, bounced the ball, was picked up by Hornacek, and the Jazz attacked.

   "Open ball, the opportunity has come out completely, but unfortunately the luck is a little worse." Su Qun sighed.

   "3:4, don't worry, the home court is a little more stable, the tactics are completely fine, it's just that you can't make the shot." Zhang Lili laughed.

   Go back to the Jazz and play the pick-and-roll again.

   First, Russell on the left wing ran to the top of the arc to make a wall. Stockton took the opportunity to break into the paint area, attracting Wang Tiejun to return to defense.

   And almost at the same time, Postman pulled up from the low post and played a pick-and-roll with Hornacek, then the former cut out and the latter cut in.

When the two blocked, Stockton just took the ball to the paint area and was intercepted by Wang Tiejun, but Wang Tiejun, like before, took the flank defense and cut off the passing line between him and Campbell on the left, so he put the ball Immediately gave the postman a step from the outside to the right-wing three-point line.

  The postman caught the ball, and before Rasheed Wallace, who was blocked, took off immediately, he made a two-point shot.

"brush!"

  The water splashed and two points hit.

   Pharaoh, who was going to grab a rebound under the basket, immediately turned around and ran away.

   "The Jazz are very patient and their tactics are very clear. They are running positions and pick-and-rolls to find gaps and dislocations. The Suns should switch defenses faster, otherwise the postman will be difficult to control." Barkley reminded.

   "Yeah, he's super accurate," Bill Walton said.

   Barkley added: "In these few rounds, the Jazz have shown a problem. Perhaps considering the defense of the old K in the penalty area, the Postman and Campbell always pull out and don't play low-post offense. Can the Jazz win the Suns? It's strange."

  Bill Walton nodded and said: "If you don't say I haven't noticed yet, it is really difficult for the Jazz to win the Suns without a more efficient low-post offense. Of course, if the Suns' defense is not good, it is somewhat possible."

  The Suns attacked, Pharaoh was double-teamed by the postman again, this time he decided to fight one by himself.

  The postman came from below to help defend. After he received the ball, he turned around with his left foot as the axis, carried Campbell on his left waist, hit the board at 45 degrees, and hit a ball.

   "5:6, the efficiency of both sides is good." Su Qun said.

"The speed of the Suns' defense is not enough, and the ability to prevent pick-and-rolls is still poor. In addition, the right wing must be thrown, especially Rasheed Wallace. If there is a space, you must throw in, or the Postman will help the weak side of the Iron Army. It will be unscrupulous." Zhang Lili said.

   "Yes, the right wing can't make a shot, and he is always double-teamed to make up defenses. Old K's resistance to entering the basket is very large, and the efficiency cannot be improved." Su Qun nodded.

"boom!"

   This time, Rasheed Wallace's defense was quick, and he arrived when the postman shot, which affected his shot and failed to hit.

  Wang Tiejun won the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

Seeing the team slowly advancing in the backcourt, Old K almost walked to the frontcourt, the team's offense was like a worn-out carriage, D'Antoni wanted to yell: "Old K, run, or else Just sit me on the bench."

"Ugh!"

   He couldn't help but sigh at the thought of getting out after the playoffs, the future is not bright! When will my dream come true?

  The Suns' frontcourt, the ball went low on the left wing, and almost before that, the Postman started weak-side help.

   "Whoosh!"

  Pharaoh knew that in order to crack the weak-side help defense of the postman, the spray must be thrown out, and the ball flew to the right bottom corner again.

"brush!"

   This time, Rasheed Wallace lived up to Pharaoh and hit a two-pointer.

  5:8, the Suns lead, the Jazz attack.

   Next, the Jazz missed a ball again. The Suns attacked and still played the point of Pharaoh. After attracting double-team defense, they created opportunities for other positions.

This time, Rasheed Wallace got Pharaoh's pass again, but Hornacek's defense was very fast. He didn't have a chance and passed it to the Lightning. The Lightning encountered Stockton's supplementary defense and forced a shot. middle.

"boom!"

  When the ball hit the basket, Pharaoh emerged from behind Campbell. He jumped higher and faster. He pressed the ball with one hand and pushed the ball into the basket while knocking Campbell under the basket.

"yeah!"

   The audience burst into cheers.

"damn it!"

Jerry Sloan was very annoyed. At the same time he lost the backcourt rebound, he was directly dunked by Old K. This is not enough. His own center was also dunked. Say it again.

   "Nice patch!"

  In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley praised and said: "The reason why Old K has such a high dominance in the basket is that I polished it for him back then, and he is my apprentice.

   I taught him how to position himself, how to train his footwork, how to fake moves, how to rebound, and how to defend. Without me, it would take at least two years for him to reach his prime. "

   "Charles, does old K agree with you?" Bill Walton asked with a smile.

   "Of course he'll agree, I've paid a lot for his growth," Barkley exclaimed.

   "Then you were sold to Mosaic?" Busfelton said suddenly.

  "..." Buckley was stunned.

   "Pfft!" Bill Walton laughed.

   "Damn, Bass, that's the team's choice. In fact, it's not wrong. I won a championship in Mosaic, and old K led his team to win the championship in 1995. We are a win-win." Barkley laughed and scolded.

  5:10, the Suns led by 5 points, and the Jazz called a timeout after serving.

Jerry Sloan waited for the players to return to the bench, stood in the middle and shouted: "Gentlemen, you have done a good job, but we need to focus our attention more. For example, when you are at the basket, there is another giant behind you. When the beast..."

   He stared at Campbell and said, "Be sure to block first, don't let old K get a chance, and then your partner will grab the rebound."

   Campbell gasped and nodded. The confrontation with the old K took a lot of energy. After only a few rounds, he was sweating profusely and panting.

  Jerry Sloan warned a few more issues to pay attention to, and then said: "The others are good, but from now on, we have to strengthen the low post attack.

  Elden Campbell, Karl, the team needs your post attack now, don't be afraid of the old K's defense, go closer to the basket, play our offense in the post, OK? "

   "OK." The two nodded.

   "Be prepared on the outside, and after scoring the ball inside, you must hit the open space." Jerry Sloan warned again.

   At this point, the timeout ends and the game resumes.

  Campbell didn't get too far, just on the left-wing low sideline, Pharaoh was on the inside, keeping him out of the paint.

  The ball came down, the Suns didn't double-team, he took the ball and raised his hands high, looking for opportunities to attack or pass the ball.

Just as Campbell received the ball, the postman on the right wing suddenly turned around, and with a swing of his left waist, he gave Rasheed Wallace an elbow. Cut to the basket.

  Campbell threw with both hands, and the Postman took the ball with a slight jump, sending the ball into the basket.

   "7:10, the Jazz played well this offense and cooperated well in the low post." Zhang Lili said.

   "The Jazz should strengthen their low post attack. This is their first low post attack." Su Qun said.

Zhang Reasonably analyzed: "Jerry Sloan is an old coach. He must know the importance of low-post offense and how efficient the Iron Army's low-post offense is. If the Jazz didn't have a low-post offense, he knew what the result would be, so he wouldn't ignore it. ."

   Next, Pharaoh was hit by Campbell while he was holding the ball. The ball was not steady and jumped in his hand. Campbell's tonnage and strength reflected its effect at this moment.

This pair of postmen created a double-team opportunity. The postman quickly jumped to the position and formed a double-team on him. Then Russell on the left wing also rushed down. The three teamed up to besiege him, and he was surrounded by six arms and six big hands. he.

   Can't use side kicks, and it's not under the basket. He can forcefully get up and dunk under the basket. He can't break this double-team when he is far away from the basket.

   "Here." Horry shouted from outside.

"Snapped!"

  Pharaoh passed the ball to Horry through the gap, but the ball was broken by Russell.

   "Well done, just play like this." Jerry Sloan shouted excitedly on the sidelines.

   "Old K be careful, Campbell and the postman team up, the defense is very strong." Buss Felton said on the TNT live broadcast.

Barkley analyzed: "Both of them have a lot of tonnage. As long as the old K can't get rid of Campbell in the first time, or can't transfer the ball immediately, he will immediately fall into the double-team of the two. The clip is very decisive.

   It was Campbell’s defense just now, which prevented Old K from holding the ball firmly in the first place, unable to shoot or pass the ball immediately, which created an opportunity for the postman. "

Bill Walton said: "With the passing ability of the old K, the price to be paid for his double-teaming is actually very high, but if he does not double-team, the old K will play super high efficiency in the low post, and the opponent cannot bear it at all. This kind of efficiency, so I can only choose to be double-teamed. It can be said that the old K was double-teamed, in fact, he forced it out himself."

   "Yes, old K forces his opponent to double-team himself. This is the standard of super-giant. If you don't approach the opponent's ability to double-team yourself, you don't deserve to be called super-giant, haha!" Barkley laughed.

  The game continued, and the Jazz continued to double-team Wang Tiejun in the low post, mainly on the weak side to help defend. If his position was raised, Russell would go down to double-team. While double-teaming the low post, strengthen the defense on the outside, so as not to give the opponent a big vacancy.

   Under the operation of the Jazz's already very mature defensive system, it has produced a very good defensive effect.

   On offense, the Jazz's offensive system is more mature than in previous seasons. The players are very skilled in the cooperation of pick-and-roll tactics. The Suns suffered a lot in defending the pick-and-roll.

   After the third quarter of the game, the score between the two sides was still very tight. At 74:78, the Suns only led by 4 points.

Wang Tiejun played 33 minutes in the first three quarters and only rested for 3 minutes. Campbell's desperate top defense and the postman's full-strength defense did cause great obstacles to his offense, preventing him from easily scoring to the basket. So far, 8-of-15 from the field, 53.3 percent from the field.

  This hit rate is significantly lower than the first and second rounds, and even lower than the regular season by nearly ten percentage points. It can be seen how strong the low-position defense of Campbell and the Postman is.

Among all the shots, there were only 5 shots at the basket, accounting for 33.3%. Too few shots were scored 4 times, and the success rate was 80%. The rest of the shots were nearly two points. , more than ten percentage points lower than the regular season.

   With 4 of 6 free throws, he scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 4 turnovers and 3 fouls in the three quarters.

  Suqun said: "Old K's scoring and rebounding are not as good as the first and second rounds, and the turnover has increased a lot. The defense of Campbell and the postman is really good."

   Zhang made a reasonable analysis: "Campbell's defense is doing well, most of his physical energy is spent on defense, and he has very little offense.

   He has the tonnage, strength, height, defensive skills and defensive awareness. As long as he drags the Iron Army for the first time, the postman or other defenders can come and double-team. "

  Su Qun was a little unconvinced and said: "But the efficiency of old K in the double team is not bad, it is still above the standard."

   Zhang Lili nodded and smiled and said, "Of course it is possible. In the double team, three energy saving hits 20+10, and 5 assists and 3 big blocks. This performance is a superstar no matter what.

   But we can see the maturity of the Jazz from these three quarters. They were not so strong last year. At that time, the postman could not restrain the iron army, but now they have achieved the restraint of the iron army.

The strength of the   Jazz not only strengthens the No. 5 position, but also enriches the thickness of the bench, and more importantly, the establishment and maturity of the offensive and defensive system.

   You can see how well their defensive transitions are done. Even if the Postman keeps going over to help defend, most of the vacancies he left are filled.

  I see their defense, in fact, it is almost the same as the zone defense, it's just a side ball, and they just need to double-team the players without the ball in advance. "

  Suqun asked worriedly: "Director Zhang, the Jazz are so strong now, do you see the Suns tonight?"

   Zhang Lili shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the Jazz played so well and the Suns can still lead, this is the confidence.

   After entering the final quarter, the Jazz will have a very big weakness exposed, and this weakness will determine the outcome of the game, Xiaosu, can you see that? "

   "What weakness?" Su Qun asked in confusion.

   Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Physical fitness."

   "Physical fitness?" Su Qun was surprised.

   "Yes, it's physical fitness."

Nodding, Zhang Lili smiled and said, "I'm mainly talking about Campbell, he and Tie Jun just had three quarters, Tie Jun fought for 33 minutes, and he also played for 31 minutes. He couldn't run just now. Everyone in the world knows how good Tie Jun's physical fitness is."

"Yup!"

  Suqun said excitedly, as if he had been beaten by chicken blood: "Campbell can't hold back Old K, the postman can't reach the double-team position in time, and Old K can directly score the basket."

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "The Jazz should make a substitution, they also have a backup center, Ostertag, who just played against the Iron Army, has a larger tonnage than Campbell, 130 kg like the Postman, and was 28 in the first round in 1995. The No. 1 show, the Jazz were trained as a meat shield, but he couldn't compare to Campbell.

He is white, with a shoe height of 218 cm, similar to that of the Iron Army, but his mobility is not as good as Campbell's, and his game experience and defensive experience are far inferior to Campbell's. As far as the potential and strength he has shown so far, Campbell is a second-class center, even if he is considered to be a second-class center. Quasi-first-rate, and he is not even third-rate. "

   At the beginning of the last quarter, as Zhang reasonably expected, Jerry Sloan asked Campbell to rest for a few minutes, and let Ostertag put the tank first.

   After only three minutes of play, Jerry Sloan had to send Campbell on the court, because Ostertag couldn't hold old K at all.

   He couldn't hold back Old K's result, not only could he fail to create a double-team opportunity for the postman, but also had a more serious chain reaction.

After Pharaoh took the ball, he quickly got rid of the defender and entered the paint area. The postman's assist defense was always a beat slower. Within three minutes, he completed three dunks, including one knocking over the postman, which not only widened the points difference, It also boosted his own morale and dealt a serious blow to the Jazz's morale.

After Campbell came on the court, the situation improved slightly, but the rest time was too short, and his physical recovery was not enough. He only lasted for two minutes, and it was not enough. Pharaoh could knock him over with a back arch, and then enter the basket to single against the Postman, One hit.

   Then Wang Tiejun took control of the situation and used his tyrannical physical advantage to frequently play high-quality low-post attacks, scoring a lot of times to the basket.

  Although the postman tried his best to help defend, Campbell couldn't hold back Old K. He didn't have enough time to help defend, and he was always a step behind.

   In the end, Wang Tiejun led his team to defeat the Jazz, 92:104, and the Suns won by 12 points.
