NBA backer king

Chapter 418

Chapter 418

The sun's offense is still a steady positional battle.

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

With a secret sigh, D'Antoni shook his head helplessly. In his opinion, ugly positional warfare, no passion, and the Supersonics' style of play are a hundred times better and a hundred times more advanced than the Suns.

This kind of tactic is too utilitarian, playing just to win, has completely lost the passion and fun of sports.

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

The other four members of the Suns can be said to all have the ability to shoot three-pointers and mid-range shots. Even Lightning has made up for the weakness of three-pointers, so the offensive lineup is very wide, leaving Lao Wang alone in the low post.

The Supersonics, on the other hand, adopted an overall shrinking defensive tactic, but the shrinking was not too strong, two meters, leaving a small space in each position.

With such a small space, they can completely return to defense in time.

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

When the ball was passed in, the Sonics reacted quickly. Schramf on the top jumped down, and at the same time, Kemp on the weak side completely released Rasheed Wallace and jumped over.

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

Schramf quickly turned back to the defense and rushed towards Horry.

It's just that Lao Wang's passing speed is very fast. Horry catches the ball and jumps out. Schramf's defense is still a beat behind, and the ball flies past his palm.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.

"Horry's fixed-point open three-pointer is still good and stable." Su Qun said.

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

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

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

The double-teaming is better, the shooting rate of the outside space is not necessarily as high as the old K's singles shooting rate, and it can also avoid the injury of the single defense. "

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

Zhang Li thought about it 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 against the Iron Army alone. I haven't seen anyone who can really suppress the Iron Army's attack to a limited extent.

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

The so-called "two evils" is the lesser of two evils. Instead of letting him hit 80% of the field goals in single defense, it is better to double-team. At least with the K-law, the double-team Tiejun doesn't have to worry about being injured. "

Nodding his head, Su Qun said again: "But the Suns' lineup now has far better shooting ability than last season, and it's a bit too difficult for them to double-team."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Indeed, if there is no three-pointer, the Supersonics can shrink greatly from the beginning, and it will be easier and faster to double-team. But the Suns are in trouble with their strong three-pointer and long-range shooting ability."

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

But the Lightning strengthened its defense against Payton, and Kobe and Horry assisted in the defense, thus creating opportunities for the old king to return to defense, achieving the effect of suppressing the Supersonics' fast break.

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

Troll gave Rainman a big hat, Lao Wang gave three big hats, two of them were given to Rainman, and one was given to Peyton.

The rain man swallowed three caps in a row, his head was bleeding, and his morale was completely lost.

Through a strong defense, the Suns hit the opponent's momentum well and prevented the opponent's plan to attack 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.

Lao Wang did not attack the Supersonics through a strong offense, but through continuous points and fast breaks, he beat the Supersonics to the brim.

Because he didn't have much offense and didn't consume much physical energy, he played the first quarter, sent three direct assists and two indirect assists in a single quarter, and also initiated 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 beneficiaries, everyone has received his points, of which Kobe is the biggest beneficiary.

As the youngest person in the lineup, Kobe ran the fastest and was the fastest. Hawkins couldn't keep up with his speed. Most of the fast breaks were ended by him. He made 7 of 5 shots in a single quarter and 10 of [-]-pointers. He scored [-] points.

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

老王3投2中，2罚2中，拿到了6分4篮板3助攻3盖帽1失误1犯规的数据。

On the Suns bench, Kobe, who scored 10 points in a single quarter, swelled up. No, his confidence was bursting. He sat next to the drinking fountain and leaned out his upper body. He shouted at Lao Wang through a dozen people: "Old K, I feel good today. I want to attack with the ball."

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

"Haha..." The bench roared with laughter.

Kobe snorted angrily and turned his head away.

In the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili said excitedly: "Tie Jun rarely hits a triple-double, but in fact he is capable of a triple-double.

He has a vision that Dream doesn't have, his passing ability is stronger than Dream, and he has good organizational skills. As long as he thinks, his chances of getting assists should be higher than Dream. "

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

"Correct."

Zhang Lili nodded, and said again: "But now with the K-law, his overbearing ability to break double-teams is greatly restricted, so strengthening the pass is the best way to break double-teams. You see, as long as he plays a few games with assists in double figures, who would dare to double-team him easily if the cost of double-teaming is too high?"

Su Qun said with a smile at this time: "But Director Zhang, you just said that the lesser of two evils is the lesser of two evils. Instead of letting old K play [-]% of the offensive efficiency in single defense, it is better to double-team him. If he can often assist in double figures in a single game, is it double-teaming or not?"

Zhang Lili laughed and said: "This is a problem, just like a tiger, if you put wings on such a beast, it will be really difficult, and it will be difficult for the prey to fly with wings!"

"Haha..." The two laughed loudly.

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

The inside line was joined by Williams and Rasheed Wallace. The latter had a rest in the 9th minute of the first quarter, and there was no problem with his physical fitness.

On the outside, Wilkins played the third position, Chapman played the second position, and Kidd played the first position.

Bill Walton said in a joking tone: "The Suns' bench lineup is actually comparable to the main lineup of some bad teams. Many teams in the playoffs use eight-man rotations, and the Suns can even do ten-man rotations, or at least nine."

Bass Felton smiled, shook his head and said, "No, Williams is not good at all this season, Chapman is too glassy to play the main force, and Wilkins can only play for [-] minutes this season, his speed is slow, his efficiency has dropped, and he is not doing very well.

The other substitutes are marginal, with little ability, and they don't have much chance in the playoffs. The rotation time must be less than the regular season rotation time, and the main players must play longer. "

Bill Walton nodded, but asked another question, saying: "The Suns' No. 11 show did not play in the second quarter. They played 10 minutes in the first quarter and scored [-] points. It looks good.

However, I noticed a problem. In addition to fast breaks, his scoring is open shots, which seems to be detrimental to his growth. "

"Oh?" Bas Felton asked, "How?"

Bill Walton explained: "I have paid attention to his draft information. He is a shooting guard with the ability to attack with the ball. He can break through with the ball, shoot three-pointers, and can also stop and jump.

Bas Felton was stunned, nodded and said: "There is no way, when there is a giant beast in the low position, the outside line will be forced to make changes to meet the needs of this giant beast.

But Kobe still has the ball to attack. He did it in the regular season. I think it is right not to let him hold the ball in the playoffs. The Suns will definitely not give the banner of offense to a rookie. "

But in fact, they are all wrong. The Suns did not try to make Kobe a shooter who can only spot-up jumpers.

Kobe didn't have as many opportunities in the playoffs as in the regular season. He basically played off the ball, but his training content was very rich, but he didn't have the opportunity to use it.

His main task in the playoffs is to defend, defend and counterattack, play fast breaks, and shoot a spot-up open ball.

The second quarter continued, Lao Wang played after a 3-minute break, forcing almost all the main players of the Supersonics to play, and changed their defensive tactics.

The Sonics double-teamed him in the first quarter, but this time he didn't double-team. His passing ability caused the Sonics a lot of damage.

"boom!"

On his first offense after playing, he knocked down Supersonics backup forward Sam Perkins with a ferocious back attack.

This attack was just the beginning, and then he hit two more in a row, almost knocking Sam Perkins down. After being knocked over again, he didn't dare to block again for the third time, and could only watch Lao Wang attack the basket, showing a very embarrassing performance.

Perkins does have some defensive strength, but the tonnage is only close to 120 kilograms, and the height and shoes are only 206 centimeters, while the current tonnage of Lao Wang has reached 135 kilograms, and the explosive power has reached level 86. For a giant center Forward, it is definitely a first-class explosive power, so no matter what method is used to defend, it cannot be stopped.

George Karl can only call a timeout, change the defensive tactics, let Payton strengthen the blockade of the Lightning, and try to lock the Suns outside to achieve the defensive purpose.

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

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

After Lightning and Kobe made three mistakes in succession, the Supersonics had chased up by 7 points. Zhang Lili couldn't sit still, and shouted: "The Supersonics suddenly strengthened the perimeter blockade. It is difficult for the Tiejun to receive the ball inside. It should be called a timeout. Don't let the opponent start. If there are signs, you must respond in time. Hold it down. This is home!"

Su Qun also said anxiously: "Lightning and Kobe together made three turnovers. Payton and Hawkins' defense suddenly strengthened. They completed two steals in a row, and now they lead by 8 points."

When the opponent was chasing points frantically, Danny Ainge, a rookie head coach, exploded with his rookie attributes. He didn't observe the changes on the court, reacted slowly, and didn't call a timeout to adjust his tactics.

Sweeping the Kings in the first round meant that the opponent was too weak, but the SuperSonics are not the Kings' team that barely made it to the playoffs.

Now the head coach's reaction is a step slower, which will inevitably affect the field, and it is impossible to make timely tactical adjustments, and failures are likely to follow.

When Danny Ainge realized that something was wrong and called a timeout, the Supersonics made another three-pointer. The point difference has been narrowed from the highest 15 points to 5 points, and the Supersonics chased by 10 points. At this time, the second quarter is almost over, with only 1 minute left.

"This is lack of experience. No matter what, the Supersonics have obviously strengthened their offensive and defensive quality just now. They are very aggressive. It is good to call a timeout to interrupt the opponent's rhythm. Now there is only one minute left, but another timeout is called. What's the use? It doesn't call when it should be called, but it calls again when it shouldn't be called." Zhang Lili shook his head.

Su Qun said: "I think Colangelo Jr. is also inexperienced, so Danny Ainge shouldn't be the head coach."

Zhang Lili said: "It was transitional at first, but I didn't expect to play 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 last season's tactics, playing back and forth, that is, passing in from the outside, and letting the old K hit. If the old K can't hit, he will be released to let the outside shoot, or defend and counterattack, and fast break after grabbing backcourt rebounds, etc. In fact, his role is not very big. He picked up the best coach for nothing. Now when it comes to the playoffs, it will be revealed."

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "It's already the playoffs, so that's the only way to go. Let's see if we change coaches next season. I'm worried about this second round. George Karl is called Crazy Karl. His tactics are crazy and aggressive. Once he catches your dead spot, he will bite at it crazily. If he doesn't deal well, the Suns may lose."

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

Jordan Zhika took advantage of Payton's top defensive ability, and at the same time took advantage of Kobe's rookie attributes to lock the Suns' outside line. The Suns' guard line combination made frequent mistakes, resulting in the point difference being greatly reduced. This is a victory for the Supersonics in terms of tactics and player execution. "

Bass Felton nodded and said: "Payton's defense is really strong. He should be the most defensive point guard in the league. In 8 minutes, he forced the Lightning to make two turnovers. The Lightning was intercepted once and the pass was missed once. The defensive effect is very good.

In addition, shooting guard Jose Hawkins is also a good offensive and defensive shooting guard. He averaged 1.9 steals per game this season. He defended rookie Kobe very well. In just 8 minutes, he made Kobe make a mistake and forced Kobe to make two three-point shots. "

Bill Walton said: "Now the Suns have a way to solve the problem, using a tactic they have played in the regular season."

"Oh, what kind of tactic is that?" Bas Felton asked hastily.

On the bench of the Suns, Old Wang wiped off some sweat, drank an envy energy drink, and drank a bottle of pure water, looking at Danny Angie in front of him with some annoyance.

Just a few minutes ago, he was exhausted on the court. He just ran to the front court, made a mistake on the outside, and immediately returned to the back court, and the Sonics' offensive rhythm was too fast. He just ran back to the back court.

Of course, the physical consumption of running back and forth is not too great for him, far less than the consumption of low-post confrontation, but the important thing is, no matter how much running is, it is useless!

Danny Angie was stared at by Lao Wang, and his face was very bitter. He felt that he might not be able to get a contract extension.

He was really right. Colangelo, who was not far away, was thinking about this issue. Danny Ainge is still too good. He can use it in the regular season, but he can't do it when he meets a real strong team in the playoffs.

He can't be confused by the 73 wins in the regular season, thinking that it is Danny Ainge's real coaching ability. Now that the team has been 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 worked as 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 may make him play apart.
