Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Back to the bench.

The Lakers were able to hold off the score in the first quarter. To be honest, the defensive drills before were really in vain, but now the score cannot be improved, and the point difference cannot be widened is a real problem, and all Li Shengli can think of is to find something outside himself. A suitable supplementary firepower point.

The reason is simple.

In principle, there is no problem for him to play the main attack, but the disadvantage of putting all the eggs in one basket was vividly demonstrated in this game.

…

Now the situation is the same on both sides. Li Shengli and Jordan are both restricted.

In view of the different positions of the two, the two sides must have different ways of dealing with it. Li Shengli doesn't know what the Bulls and Jordan will do next, but the Lakers already have a plan for this situation.

The inside advantage that comes from playing?

Just provide offensive power?

Apparently someone has forgotten his history of killing the rebounding leaderboard in a single game?

Now transfer part of the shots to the hands that supplement the firepower, ensure rebound suppression, increase the number of shots, and combine internal and external play. No matter how bad the result is, it will not be less efficient than the current single quarter.

Li Shengli glanced at Harris.

Because the plan was brought out by Harris, Harris understood it instantly and decisively began to adjust the staffing. With the prepared and step-by-step execution plan, all the Lakers generals seemed very calm.

…

"Campbell, come on!"

"Da Ben, get off!"

Harris said that the first substitution was the power forward, and this substitution was also considered in advance.

The Lakers' current plan is to control rebounds, and maybe Big Ben would be more suitable. But in fact, Big Ben's frontcourt rebounding is not very good because Rodman was too active after taking a big block.

The moment Li Shengli's shot is confirmed, Rodman will turn around and join the fight for the rebound. Although sprinting takes time, it also creates trouble for Ben, and in Harris's first quarter arrangement... Ben didn't perform well. He wanted rebounding functionality.

Offensive rebounds, Ben will be harassed.

Against the defense, Rodman rarely attacked.

In this case, Ben's ability is overflowing. On the contrary, Campbell is very suitable. His confrontation ability is a little bit, but Li Shengli has been double-teamed. If he needs any confrontation, he can just digest the ball and take the shot.

This is only on the offensive end. As for Jordan, who is a defensive breakthrough, as long as he is more active and more desperate, it will not be a problem to achieve the defensive effect of the big team in a short time.

As for the big book...

This substitution can also be used to take a break, and he can participate in the rotation and replace Li Shengli at the center position.

…

"Eddie, get off!"

"Kobe, come on!"

The second change is the scorer at guard.

Eddie's offense didn't have very obvious features, and he didn't have much power play ability. He was eaten up by Jordan and Harper, and it was difficult to supplement the firepower. Harris thought of Kobe.

This substitution...

Assuming Kobe is in good condition, he just takes off without thinking.

But assuming that his condition is not good, at least it has the same effect as Eddie's presence.

The most important thing is to be able to test the feel and warmth of the hand, and provide some status information for Harris' subsequent substitutions.

…

As for other positions, there are no changes yet.

Horry still faced off against Pippen, and his defensive effect in the first quarter was unsatisfactory.

But Crotty...

Harris feels that none of the Lakers' guards can compete with Crotty on the defensive end, so Crotty cannot guard Jordan and trade his peak physical fitness for time at Jordan's peak physical fitness.

Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, if a functional "lower horse" beats a comprehensive "higher horse", the Lakers will definitely not lose. However, this "lower horse" is still a dark horse, which puts great restrictions on Jordan. .

…

After confirming the substitutions, Harris emphasized the defense several times and waited for a while before the second quarter officially started.

From the Bulls' offense in the first few rounds, it can be seen that the Bulls are also thinking of ways.

This method is essentially a transfer of shots, but the triangle tactic itself has requirements for this, so the Bulls played well. At least it seemed that the scoring efficiency was much higher than in the first quarter. The first six successful attacks were In the round, he scored three times, but Pippen's touch was still very good.

Of the six possessions, three were by Pippen.

He hit 2 of 3, and there was a 3-pointer in it, and he scored 5 points.

Speaking of which, Pippen's average three-point field goal attempts have been increasing in the past three seasons. This season is the highest, averaging 5.2 three-pointers per game. It can be seen that the effective shooting range is indeed long, and it is also very suitable for the triangle system. of placement.

…

The Bulls seemed angry, but surprisingly, the Lakers' combat value increased even more.

There was still a bit of a disadvantage at the start of the second quarter, but after the Bulls took a small lead, Li Shengli led the team to explode. After Crotty did not limit himself to Li Shengli passing the ball, the entire team became more flexible.

"Kobe!"

"good!"

Crotty and Kobe didn't need to say much. After passing the ball, they opened the screen for Kobe. After Kobe got rid of Jordan, he stood up and shot into the basket.

There was a bang and the ball didn't go in.

This situation is very common. Kobe didn't take it seriously because he believed that Li Shengli could catch the ball. This ball was at best a tactical strike, directly omitting the process of Li Shengli going to the basket to attack. Li Shengli got the ball under the basket and basically No one can hit it, unless it's... an active foul.

Beep! !

A sharp whistle.

Li Shengli seemed to know that Kobe was going to hit the iron. The ball was about to be pushed back as soon as it started to bounce. However, Luke Longley really had no choice. Rodman was still useful, but he was about to become a decoration, so he took the initiative to commit a foul. , realized self-worth.

"You missed the penalty."

"Don't talk nonsense when you ride a horse!"

Walking to the free throw line, Rodman grunted, and Li Shengli immediately scolded him back. Rodman's face turned red. After Rodman snorted, he actually missed the first free throw, and his face was overjoyed.

"Missed? Look, I was right."

It's so annoying for you to ride a horse!

Li Shengli's face turned cold. He ignored Rodman this time and made the second free throw. However, he was not very satisfied with the result of 1 of 2 free throws, especially Rodman's endless chatter.

…

At this time, the Lakers' tactical plan has been drawn up.

Crotty not only took over the important task of guarding Jordan on the defensive end, but also acted as a tactical starting point on the offensive end, connecting with Li Shengli on the inside and Kobe Bryant on the outside. The more choices, the fewer mistakes, because Crotty Always find the most suitable passer.

…

"Lee!" Crotty passed.

"Just give it to me!" Li Shengli yelled.

Luke Longley didn't even dare to go forward, for fear that Crotty would lose his defensive position with a high lob, and Li Shengli received the ball and hit his back to the basket... At this time, Rodman had to double-team and Campbell actively ran into the open space. .

"Campbell!"

"give it to me!"

There was another roar. Campbell received a pass from Li Shengli and immediately made a jump shot on the other side. Rodman, who might have turned around, had no choice more stable than an open jump shot. In fact, he also made it.
