Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

With the Mavericks' counterattack frenzy, Phil Jacks had no reason not to call a timeout, but after calling a timeout... how to deal with it is the most difficult thing.

In fact, the Mavericks' tactical thinking is too rough. It's so rough that you know they are going to play like this, but you just can't break it. In the final analysis, it's Li Shengli who can't suppress it.

According to Phil Jackson's thinking, the Mavericks' only offensive core is Li Shengli, and Ware and Wennington have restricted him very well in the front. No matter what method they use, they have suppressed him anyway, but now the fuck is ...Li Shengli has frightened him with no solution.

Although there is no concept of no solution in this world, it is just that the price of the only solution is too high, just like the 'Jordan Rules' that became popular in the 1988-89 season. It is so crazy that it requires three people to double-team, push, pull, pull, The tugging was done to the extreme, but just looking at this scene... Li Shengli was no longer able to handle double-teaming.

The fundamental purpose of the 'Jordan Law' is to limit Jordan's offense, but if we insist on saying that there is a 'Lee Victory Law', then this law is absolutely empty at present, because no one can come up with an effective one so far. , Methods to restrict Li Shengli.

Not to mention the integration of offense and defense, the combination of height + wingspan has great control over game rebounds. No matter how the opponent restricts him, he can always achieve dominance in a certain field, and no matter which field, he can still do it. Play a decisive role on the playing field.

As for tactics?

Li Shengli alone has a set of tactics!

…

"Listen, listen to me, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now, remember every word I say below!

On the offensive end, we will continue to use our tactics as usual. Scotty and BJ are still positioned in the bottom corner. Don’t be afraid of not being able to return to defense in time. Unless they don’t defend, we will still have an advantage in the transition from defense to offense, but The most important thing is that you have to run as fast as you can for me.

Michael, you are still at the top of the key. When you return to defense, don't care who is holding the ball. Stand in the penalty area first. As long as it is not a close layup, Scotty and BJ can handle the outside. As long as other teammates are in place, everything will be done. Easy to say.

One more thing, Will you go to the fourth position later and Wennington won't step down. The only task of the two of you is to save every rebound for me and cause Lee to foul!

Did you hear them clearly? We still have an advantage now. As long as we slow down the pace and have a height difference, we can crush them. The only problem is that we also need to speed up... so the attack must be far away and the speed of returning to defense must be high. Quick, don't miss a single backcourt rebound, and make sure you get more than half of the offensive rebounds! "

Until now, the only way Phil Jackson can think of is to slow down the rhythm, and the Mavericks' seemingly crazy counterattack is actually based on the speed of defensive counterattack. If we really want to show the confrontation between the army and the horse, the two of Weir + Wennington The seven-foot center can slightly offset the rebounding disadvantage, and the shooting of the Mavericks' four guards will die on the court due to the disadvantage of height difference.

It's just that Phil Jackson always felt that he had forgotten something, but after carefully sorting out the situation, he couldn't figure out where he had forgotten it.

…

Unlike bulls.

On the Mavericks side, Motta gave up the game at first, but now he is surprised by the effect of this blind shooting tactic. And his long-term coaching experience has made him not a complete idiot, so he simply climbed up the pole and carefully The layout of this set of tactics was transformed.

The perimeter defense of the four guards is simply rubbish, there is no doubt about that, but one good thing is... big shots beat small ones, good shots are not good for sudden attacks, coupled with Li Shengli's interior defense, the Bulls' average shot distance is definitely higher than before. Under normal circumstances, the farther the distance, the smaller the hit rate will be.

This is the Mavericks' hidden defense, which is not as effective as the regular defense, but with a comprehensive superstar like Li Shengli, it is not without merit. The effect all depends on the Bulls' touch.

…

Return to the court after a timeout.

Because the score was 6:16 in the last 3 minutes of the final quarter, the Mavericks were now 8 points behind, and a comeback was expected. The home fans did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, and the Dallas Reunion Stadium had never been so lively.

The bull strikes first.

For this goal, under Crotty's blockade, Jordan's signature fade was so exaggerated that his body leaned back at a 45-degree angle. However, the goal was not scored, and the backcourt rebound was much easier than the frontcourt rebound. Li Shengli grabbed it After falling, the bull immediately went berserk.

What will happen if you don't return to defense in time?

The Bulls knew it too well. Jordan was the first, and Pippen and B.J. were also chasing Curry and Kidd crazily. On the contrary, the Bulls were too slow to play two centers, leaving the Mavericks with four on three in the frontcourt. Run with four.

In fast break four-on-three, the test is sprint speed and coordination of passing and receiving in action. Kidd's dribbling speed is not exaggerated, but it is better because of his overall view and vision. He attracted the defense with a three-step layup and handed the ball to him. Curry scored from the air defense.

…

Why are you still acting like this?

Phil Jackson was furious with brain congestion on the sidelines. Fortunately, this exchange of attacks was not representative. The next Bulls did have the effect he wanted, but the effect was not great. Within 3 minutes, they played another 6:10 , the point difference narrowed to 4 points, with less than 6 minutes left.

It's just that this time the ball is in the hands of the Mavericks, and it will take a while to call a timeout.

The Mavericks were still as fast as ever. This time, Li Shengli went straight to the penalty area and his teammates immediately opened fire. Although he didn't score, he still caught the rebound. The position was right under the basket, and he was about to use his legs. When the ejection dunk occurred, Weir was so beaten that he hugged Li Shengli and sent him to the free throw line.

A very wise choice. Phil Jackson can't say a few words of praise for Ware, because everyone knows what to do in this situation. After all, there is no possibility of not scoring when he dunks from the basket.

However... after Li Shengli stepped to the free throw line, he missed both free throws. The whole audience was stunned. Only then did everyone realize that Li Shengli made 4 of 8 free throws in the first half. In the second half, including these two free throws, he also made 4 of 8 free throws. The rate is 50%.

…

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson, who had always felt that he had forgotten something, finally remembered it and wished he could give himself a slap in the face to wake up, because he found the glimmer of victory and the weakness of victory in despair.

penalty!

It's a free throw!

You must know that the tactic of continuous fouls is mainly used on the lagging side near the end of the game. It is aimed at players who are poor at free throws, causing fouls and allowing the opponent to take free throws to buy time. The focus here is time.

But because of this game, it was still early and the Bulls were 4 points ahead. Phil Jackson, who was obsessed with the authorities, didn't realize that the key to unlocking the door was in his hand. But after he woke up... there was so much that could be done about free throws. That’s a lot.
