Chapter 117 The Tactic Works
Chapter 117 The Tactic Works
After returning from the timeout, Li Weisi slowly crossed the half court with the ball, and obviously began to deliberately slow down the rhythm and fall into the position to attack.
After observing for a while, Li Weisi beckoned Malone to play the pick-and-roll, which is the tactic the Warriors use the most in positional warfare.
Tactics are used a lot, so they will naturally be studied by the coaches of other teams, but they have been used all the time and are still effective, which means that the coaches of other teams have not found a suitable method to crack them.
Malone's strong body blocked Scott tightly. When Scott reacted, Li Weisi had already bypassed Malone and went inside.
Abdul-Jabbar's talent is unquestionable. His height and arm length, high jumping speed, and physical coordination are all at a historical level. Otherwise, it would be impossible to support him to play for 20 seasons and get the No. [-] scoring record in NBA history.
But at this time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is 39 years old after all, and his footsteps are much fuller than when he was young. Even at this time, he has also done weight loss and other methods, but he still can no longer be himself, nor can he catch up with his current self. Li Weisi.
After getting rid of Scott, Li Weisi faced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was rushing towards him. He bowed to Buddha, or even just made a foreplay of worshiping Buddha. Barr's defense made a layup.
After the goal, the Warriors four quickly retreated to the backcourt, which was much faster than when they were attacking.
The other person is Rodman. He was left in the frontcourt, responsible for interfering with the opponent's serve and organizing the Lakers' fast break. Rodman's task is the top priority.
When there is no goal, Rodman needs to grab offensive rebounds and disrupt the opponent's fast-break deployment. When the ball is scored, he needs to interfere with the server's serve as soon as possible.
It stands to reason that Malone and even Smith are more suitable than Rodman to grab offensive rebounds, but the speed of the two is not as good as Rodman, and they need to save more energy to do other things. Therefore, this The matter fell on Rodman's head.
Rodman was very excited to shoulder the heavy responsibility again. He was not afraid of the heavy burden, but he was afraid that he would not be valued by others. At this moment, facing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, whose height and wingspan were much higher than him, Rodman was not at all afraid. , continuously bouncing in front of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, shaking his hands back and forth, interfering with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's serve.
Of course, these actions of Rodman did not cause much trouble to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. With a feint, he passed the ball into the hands of Magic Johnson.
When Rodman saw that the ball had been sent, he immediately dropped Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, ran towards Johnson, and actively interfered with Johnson's dribbling and passing.
Of course, expecting to snatch the ball from Johnson in this way is really crazy.
However, just such a moment of effort is enough for the Warriors to run back to their own half, at least to prevent the Lakers from this fast break.
Compared with his shocking fast break, the Lakers' positional warfare is undoubtedly much less powerful, but this does not mean that the Lakers' positional warfare is rubbish.
Compared with the dazzling fast break, the Lakers' positional tactics are quite simple and direct, and the most commonly used is singles.
This is not surprising, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Johnson, Worthy and other good players, wouldn't it be a waste not to play alone?
Is it really going to be like another time and space, during the Warriors Dynasty, where the two historical ball handlers, Xiaoshuai and elementary school students, are not used, and they have to play pass and cut?At the same time let "chasing the egg" hold the ball at the top of the arc and deal cards online?What is this?
Wouldn't it be better to be simple and direct?
Magic Johnson has been pouting his big butt, pushing Rodman from the backcourt all the way to the frontcourt, his posture is extremely indecent.
In fact, although Johnson's ball protection action is ugly, it is really effective.
As a 206cm tall Johnson, if he wants to dribble like a small guard who is 15-20 cm shorter than him, there is a high probability that he will be intercepted. This scene can refer to Adu in the early stage of his career. He was often intercepted in the penalty area. Doubt about life.
After halftime, Johnson handed the ball to Worthy, who was running from the wing, and then immediately got up and went to the low post. He was on the strong side and played a small match with Worthy.
When Johnson was in position, relying on Rodman's defense, Johnson opened his hand for the ball. Worthy got rid of Mullin's interference at the first time and gave the ball to Johnson.
Rodman defended Johnson in this game, that is, after Bird and Jordan, he faced one of the strongest players in the league again, so who is the worst in the Warriors?Rodman does his part to make No.1.
Johnson beats Rodman behind him. Rodman, who is at a disadvantage in terms of weight and height, can't beat Johnson at all.
Relying on Bug's body, Johnson grabbed his own sweet spot, and then immediately turned around and shot a fallback jumper. Rodman tried his best to block the block, but still couldn't block Johnson.
The whole process of hitting a basketball hit is quite simple and rude, but practical.
However, although the Warriors failed to defend successfully, Nelson was very happy. No matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to prevent the opponent from losing a point. But as long as it can disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm, then his defensive tactics are qualified.
As a result, the mercury-like offensive of the two teams before suddenly disappeared, replaced by all kinds of hand-to-hand combat, all kinds of positional warfare and the sound of iron strikes.
Seeing that their own offensive rhythm was suddenly disrupted, and the rapidly growing point difference was also suppressed, the Lakers coaching staff couldn't sit still, and they discussed how to change the lineup next.
And Pat Riley, who has been standing on the sidelines of the court, combing his meticulously oiled hair, is chewing gum while watching the situation on the court calmly with his arms crossed.
As a famous NBA coach known as a "magic fortune teller", Pat Riley naturally noticed the changes in the situation on the court, but the reason why he can still chew gum leisurely like this naturally shows that he has a well-thought-out plan.
He waved to the sidelines and said, "Michael, come on!"
It is naturally impossible for the Lakers to have Jordan on the bench. This Michael refers to Michael Cooper.
Michael Cooper, is said to be one of the most outstanding draft operations of the Lakers management. In the 78 draft, he was selected by the Lakers with the 60th pick in the third round. The young boy has such a powerful energy in his body.
Although Cooper has mostly been the team's substitute after entering the league, don't ignore this player because he is a substitute. He has been in the league for 8 years and has been selected to the best defensive team 6 times. In the original time and space, he will Officially won the best defensive player this season as a substitute player.
It can be seen from this that how strong the Lakers' starting strength is, it is simply too extravagant to put a Dpoy on the bench.
