NBA Backer King - Chapter 630
Chapter 630 Victory
Wang Tiejun played the full first quarter. This is the finals. At the last moment, there is no need to save energy.
In the first quarter, he made 6 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, 15 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul. It can be said that he played a top-level offensive and defensive performance.
At the beginning of the second quarter, he appeared again.
Stoudemire also played the entire first quarter. Now the power forward is Marion. Marion played 9 minutes in the first quarter before taking a rest and had a rotation.
The small forward is Zhu Fangyu, the shooting guard is Josh Howard, and the point guard is the backup point guard Howard Hollis. All three of them played in the 9th minute of the first quarter and continued in the second quarter.
The rotation lineup of the Suns in the finals is 8 people, Zhu Fangyu, Josh Howard, and Howard Ellis. Can play the whole game.
That is to say, with four positions and seven rotation players, the average time for each player is less than 28 minutes. Of course, the main players will play more time, depending on the situation of the game.
The Pistons also have a rotation lineup.
Ben took a two-minute break in the first quarter and played at the beginning of the second quarter.
Rashid Wallace’s body is not as durable as Daben’s. He took a three-minute break in the first quarter and is still sitting still. The fourth position is substitute forward Mehmet Okur.
The third position is substitute forward Collis Williams, the second position is Hamilton who took a two-minute rest in the first quarter, and the first position is backup point guard Mike James.
Pistons offense.
Okura to the right-wing three-point line, Big Ben in the basket activities.
Zhang Lili immediately said: “Oku has a three-pointer, and his three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is as high as 40%. The mid-range shot is more accurate. It can be called a high fortress. It is somewhat similar to Dayao’s style, but the low-post offense is not as strong as Dayao. Big Yao Yao’s low-post pace is very flexible, his low-post offensive skills are very strong, and he has unsolvable turnaround jumpers and turnaround jumpers.”
“brush!”
Okur hit a three-pointer with Hamilton’s pick-and-roll.
“Really accurate!” Su Qun said.
“He is 10 centimeters taller than Marion, but with his wingspan and jumping, Marion’s defensive height will not be bad. Forcibly shooting on Marion’s head, the hit rate is definitely not guaranteed. It is best to use cover, so Marion takes Come down to defend Okku, pay attention to the pick-and-roll.” Zhang Lili said.
The Suns’ substitute lineup did not have the fast-break ability of the main lineup, so they didn’t play fast-break.
The other four players all opened up, allowing Pharaoh to play big singles in the low position.
Marion is no better than Stoudemire. He has a three-pointer and pulls directly beyond the three-point line. Okur can’t help but follow him, leaving Da Ben alone to support Laowang.
Old Wang received the ball, at this time Marion suddenly started, quickly got rid of Okur, and cut in.
When Marion cut to the right waist, Lao Wang casually threw the ball over Big Ben’s head.
“Ohoo!”
The next moment, there was a bang, an alley-oop dunk, and the Meixi Arena was filled with cheers.
Zhang Lili laughed and said: “Oku defended against Marion, he couldn’t keep up with the rhythm at all, and it would be about the same to let Da Ben go against Marion instead.”
Su Qun said with a smile: “The defense of the Pistons’ bench lineup is far inferior to that of the main force. The person closest to Marion just now is small forward Williams, but he did not cover Marion in time. The Suns can still play this tactic.”
The Pistons attacked. After Hamilton ran wildly, he got an open position on the left wing, caught the ball and shot, and was almost capped by Zhu Fangyu.
“boom!”
The basketball hits the basket, and Lao Wang controls the rebound in the backcourt.
Come to the low position on the left wing, as soon as he catches the ball on the strong side, Marion immediately implements an inside cut tactic on the weak side again, and Okur can’t keep up with the rhythm at all.
This time, Hamilton on the right quickly switched defenses and followed Marion.
However, this did not stop Lao Wang’s attack.
Turned down and slid to the bottom, after shaking back the big Ben, then continued to turn around, entered the paint area between dribbles, and after one step, his body exploded, took off from the left front of the basket at a 45-degree direction, and the left elbow was stuck outside the top bit, dunks with the ball in his right hand.
Ben tried his best to block from the flank, but was pushed away by Lao Wang’s left elbow, and the height of the block could not reach Lao Wang’s ball at all.
“boom!”
When the basket slammed, the home fans cheered again.
Larry Brown stood blankly on the sidelines, unable to come up with a solution for the time being. He didn’t dare to let Okur double-team Old K in advance, because Marion was no better than Stoudemire. Open, it will kill the Pistons.
He can only allow the players on the field to speed up the defense and switch, and let the backup point guard Mike James strengthen the control of the Suns’ No. 1 position.
Now he can only hold on with the substitute lineup and wait for the main lineup to come up.
Just 116 seconds into the second quarter, less than two minutes later, at 19:37, the Pistons were already 18 points behind. He couldn’t hold on anymore, and if he dragged on, the difference would be 20 points. Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he quickly changed the main lineup. up.
However, the Suns did not follow the rhythm of the Pistons, but followed their own rotation rhythm, so in the next time, the Suns’ bench lineup faced the Pistons’ main lineup, which was a bit of a disadvantage. Halfway through the second quarter, 30:43, the Pistons recovered 5 points.
At this time, the Suns replaced the main force, but not all of them. Marion came down, and Zhu Fangyu was still on top, playing the third position.
According to his own ideas, Larry Brown double-teamed the old K in advance, cut off his contact with his teammates, and at the same time asked Prince to defend Nash, trying to destroy the organizational function of the Suns.
“brush!”
Hamilton hit a ball.
“Be careful of the masked man, he has made 6 shots in less than two quarters today.” Zhang Reasonable reminded.
32:43, the Suns attack.
“Oh, the Pistons double-teamed Old K early, Stoudemire was empty, but Nash was entangled by Prince, and the ball was not passed in time.” Su Qun said quickly.
On the field, Prince’s long arms entangled Nash like a spider, making Nash very uncomfortable and unable to pass the ball to teammates who appeared open in time.
Old Wang pointed at Nash while leaving the penalty area, and shouted loudly: “Pick and roll.”
Stoudemire has already reacted, and hastily ran to the right-wing three-point line to make a pick-and-roll for Nash.
Nash just got rid of Prince through the wall, and was entangled by Billups again.
On the sidelines, Larry Brown is applauding. He is very satisfied with this defense.
“here.”
The old dynasty moved to a high position and shouted at Nash.
Nash quickly threw the ball to this side. When Pharaoh caught the ball, Big Ben and Troll had already chased him and double-teamed him.
“Old K.”
But at this time, Zhu Fangyu was already empty, and was cutting quickly from the left-wing three-point line to the paint area, while reaching for the ball.
Lao Wang backhanded the ball from Daben’s head, Zhu Fangyu rushed into the paint after receiving the ball, and Daben returned to the basket from the free throw line, but it was too late.
“boom!”
Zhu Fangyu dunked with one hand, and applauded everywhere.
“Finally it’s a success. The Pistons did a good job defensively this time. Fortunately, the Suns didn’t mess up.” Su Qun said after a sigh of relief.
Zhang Lili nodded and said: “Every one of the Pistons’ five tigers can defend alone, and they can assist in supplementary defense. Supplementary defense can still make up for the loopholes caused by early double-teaming.
The Suns should be careful, success this time does not mean that they will succeed next time.
But the Suns should be able to handle it, because in addition to Nash, there is also the Iron Army. The Iron Army’s support and organizational capabilities are all available. The Suns’ organizational functions will not be completely locked. Although the Pistons’ defense is strong, it certainly does not have this ability. ”
On the court, Lao Wang ran to the front court, leaned over and whispered to Nash: “Next time you just throw the ball to me, no matter how many people are around me.”
Nash was taken aback and nodded quickly.
“boom!”
Big Heart Billups hit one and missed.
Pharaoh grabbed the backcourt rebounds, and Da Ben stood in front of him and interfered with his passing by jumping continuously.
He came to the low post on the left wing, and Big Ben and Troll came to the side again. After looking at the outside line, Prince was desperately pestering Nash again, so he immediately ran to the high post.
Daben and Tiaozi immediately followed, but at this moment, he suddenly stopped when he had just run to the left elbow area, he reversed and plunged downwards, forcefully slammed into the middle of the two, and savagely pushed them away. Cut into the paint.
At this moment, the center of gravity of Daben and Troll were both moved by him, and they couldn’t follow for the first time.
Nash was entangled with Prince, while paying attention to the actions of the old K. At this time, he saw the old K suddenly stopped and ran back, and he knew it was time. The top of Stanley’s head flew towards the basket.
“boom!”
The next moment, an alley-oop dunk occurred.
“brush!”
Looking back, Billups finally hit a ball.
The Pistons strengthened their control over the Suns’ fast breaks. The fast breaks failed, and the Suns were not impatient, and the positional battle came back again.
Under the early double-teaming of Big Ben and Troll. Lao Wang entered the basket again through continuous movement, and the two defenders quickly followed.
Ignoring the fact that old K was double-teamed under the basket, Nash, who was two steps away from the three-point line, suddenly lobbed the ball. Prince didn’t have time to stop it, and the ball flew to the basket again.
Under the basket, the three of them jumped at the same time, but Lao Wang used his talent to forcefully overwhelm the two and catch the ball.
“Boom!”
The next moment, the landing was a ferocious back arch like a tiger, and the big Ben behind was directly knocked over.
“boom!”
At the next moment, as the stature exploded, the basket slammed loudly.
“Beep!”
The referee’s whistle sounded at the same time.
“Ohoo!”
Passionate cheers erupted suddenly, and countless Suns fans cheered.
“Foul by the thugs, two plus one, this is force! There is no way, old K has this kind of advantage at the basket, haha…” an on-site commentator shouted excitedly.
Another commentator immediately picked up and shouted excitedly: “34:49, we lead by 15 points again.”
On the CCTV commentary table, Zhang Lili smiled and said: “It seems that Tie Jun is going to play hard at the basket. This is really an advantage. As long as he can receive the ball at the basket, with his dominance at the basket, the Pistons can only come through fouls.” Stop him.”
Su Qun said with a smile: “In terms of dominance at the basket, O’Neal’s peak period in the history of the league can barely compete with the old K.”
Zhang rationally nodded and said: “It’s the last two championships of the Lakers’ three consecutive championships. In the three years from 1999 to 2001, when O’Neal’s tonnage remained at 150 kilograms, his dominance was the strongest.
But the strongest O’Neill can barely compete with the Iron Army. Compared with the overall ability between the two, there is a big difference.
The Iron Army is not only strong in offense, but also strong in defense, rebounding, support, organization, and passing. These O’Neals are far behind him, and their contributions to the team are also much worse. One is the offensive finisher and the other is the offensive starting point, so Joe Shark The combination can’t beat the Lakers. ”
Su Qun said: “Old K not only has strength and height at the basket, but also has technique and pace. The hook is a must, the plum blossom step is also a must, and the iron mountain can sweep away the opponent.”
Zhang Reasonable said: “I remember that the Pistons played the Lakers in the regular season. The two Wallaces teamed up to cut off the connection between O’Neal and the outside line. Kobe was stalked to death by Prince outside. In the end, the Pistons won the Lakers.
Now the Pistons are also starting to play the Suns in this way, but the Suns and the Lakers are different teams. The same players, using the same tactics, will not achieve the same effect and purpose.
Nash is different from Kobe. When Kobe has the ball in his hands, he is a shooting guard. His first purpose is to attack, not pass. He will definitely waste a lot of passing opportunities.
On the contrary, Nash will not waste passing opportunities, so today I am not optimistic that Prince can really lock Nash’s passing. ”
Nodding, Su Qun said: “Prince may be able to lock Nash’s offense like he locked Kobe, and even destroy Nash’s organizational function, but it is impossible to lock Nash’s passing. Just passing the ball is comparable to organizing.” Much easier with offense.
In positional battles, the Suns don’t need much organizational ability from Nash. As long as they can pass the ball to Old K, Old K can solve all problems. When he gets the ball, he can beat Shuanghua with his strong personal strength. Lace. ”
“That’s it.” Zhang Reasonable said.
Next, on the offensive end, Nash is only responsible for pushing the ball across the half court, and then handing the ball to Old K will do.
With his ability, it is really difficult for Prince to control his passing. He is only behind him in terms of speed. He is not responsible for organization and only concentrates on passing the ball to Old K. With the cover of his teammates, he can completely avoid Pu Lins’ entanglement.
Pharaoh is not blindly in the low position. He often mentions the high position as support, and his teammates cut in from the wing. He is responsible for passing the ball in the high position, or after the cutting teammate attracts the power of double-teaming him, he goes down to attack the basket. Yes, tactics are very flexible.
This kind of tactic of pulling the inside line to a high position and getting an open outside line is less likely for the Pistons to defend.
After the first half, the Suns had led by 20 points, and the Pistons still couldn’t defend against the Suns’ offense.
During the intermission, Zhang Lili analyzed with a smile: “Double Wallace can defend O’Neal, there is another big reason, that is, O’Neal didn’t have a mid-range shot, he couldn’t pull it out, he could only passively be double-teamed in the low post .
And his coping ability and assist ability are far inferior to Tiejun. He is just a terminator, while Tiejun is an offensive initiator.
Tie Jun can pull out. Once he pulls out, he can attack by himself or support his teammates. The threat is equally great. If both Wallaces follow, the basket will be empty. Only one can follow, and he can catch the ball outside. singles.
There is only one person defending him alone, and his mid-range shooting percentage can be close to 50%. The Pistons have very few low-post offenses, and the overall shooting percentage will not be very high. The Iron Army’s mid-range shooting percentage is terrible.
So I am not optimistic that the Pistons can win the Suns and the Lakers with this tactic, but it may not necessarily win the Suns. ”
Su Qun said with a smile: “With a 20-point difference, the Pistons have to stop the early double-teaming tactic. This defensive tactic is obviously not working.”
“I must have lost today. No team can come back when Tiejun’s team leads by 20 points. It has never happened since he entered the league.” Zhang Lili laughed.
…
“Defense, I can’t see your defense! Ben, you are the leader, be tough on old K, don’t let him do whatever he wants on you! Rashid, can you cut off old K’s receiving line? I need you Did it, why didn’t you do it? Both of you double-teamed him early and couldn’t stop him, are you sleepwalking on the court?”
When the Pistons returned to the locker room, Larry Brown’s roar rang out impatiently. After spraying the double Wallace, Prince, Billups and others did not escape.
Big Ben and Troll looked at each other and shook their heads.
It’s not that they didn’t try their best, they all tried their best, but the old K is stronger than O’Neal, can jump better, and has better physical fitness. In addition, Nash’s pass is very accurate, and they have no way to cut off his pass.
Not long after, the second half began.
The Pistons did not give up. From the beginning of the third quarter, they played a full-court pressing defense, which caused some troubles for the Suns. They made consecutive mistakes, and the Pistons took the opportunity to chase the point difference to 13 points.
At this time, Pharaoh played the role of the pinnacle of the sea, first rushed out of the penalty area and gave Hamilton a big hat, suppressed the Pistons’ offense, then made a pick-and-roll for Nash in the high position, and returned the pass when he went down, completing a dunk. Stabilized the situation on the field.
Next, he rushed to the top of the arc to block Billups, played a fast break, rushed to the frontcourt to get the ball, and completed another dunk.
Two big caps on the defensive end, and then played a positional battle and a fast break one after another, pulling the point difference back to 17 points, the Suns stabilized, and then returned to normal.
After the third quarter, the Suns led by 22 points.
At the end of the quarter, the physical fitness of the five Pistons declined, and the main force of the Suns had a good rotation and had an advantage in physical fitness. The Pistons had to give up the game.
74:102, the Suns won by 28 points.
Pharaoh scored 42 points, shooting 66.6% from the field. The Pistons failed to defend him completely and grabbed 19 rebounds.
After the game, Barkley also accepted an interview after the game.
“Charles, the Pistons’ early double-teaming tactics against Old K should be said to have failed, and the defense against Nash was not considered a success. It did not limit the connection between him and Old K. What do you think the Pistons should do?” The reporter asked road.
Barkley thought for a while and said: “The Pistons’ defensive tactics are correct, because if they don’t double-team the old K in advance, they will lose more completely, and the old K will explode the big money to scum at the basket.
But the early double-teaming tactic also failed. The key reason is that the Pistons could not completely cut off the connection between old K and his teammates, and he could still receive the ball continuously. Old K can catch the ball for two reasons.
One is Nash’s pass. Whether it is Billups or Prince, they cannot lock Nash’s pass key in the case of single defense.
You have to know that Nash’s organizational function has been severely weakened in positional warfare, because the Suns’ positional warfare is dominated by old K, and his organizational ability is not very needed.
So what is Nash responsible for in the Suns’ positional battle? He is mainly responsible for passing halftime, and then delivering shells to Old K, just pass them in.
Let me ask, who can lock the pass of an All-Star point guard whose speed can rank among the top ten or even top five in league history?
The second reason why old K can catch the ball is of course his own ability.
He is much taller than Big Ben, and he can jump better than Troll. He can jump at least eighty or ninety centimeters. Can Troll jump fifty centimeters? The sprayer can’t steal the ball at all.
Only when the old K can receive the ball, it means that the Pistons’ defensive tactics have failed, so it is only natural to lose the game.
You asked me how the Pistons won the Suns. It was very difficult, but I couldn’t do anything about it. ”
Buckley laughed after he finished speaking. He couldn’t talk if he had a way. Old K would make trouble for him, but he really couldn’t think of a way.
