Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Mourning grabbed the rebound smoothly and pulled it directly to the high position, and Aunt Johnson followed. And the two of them glanced at each other, inexplicably feeling that they really hated each other.

This feeling has no reason, after all, this is the first confrontation between the two.

Taking advantage of his stunned effort, Mourning hit the ground and passed the ball to Luke Longley under the basket, while he himself threw off Johnson and cut directly to the inside.

After Luke Longley received the ball, Li Shengli went up immediately, but to his surprise...Luke Longley didn't mean to single him at all, and passed the ball back to Mourning's hands again, and Mourning relaxed Layup.

...

next game.

Contrary to the situation predicted before the game, the Timberwolves' twin-tower combination played an unexpected power, simple, rough and unreasonable. This feeling is like... You clearly know the opponent's next move, but you But there is no way to stop it.

offensive end.

The positions of Mourning and Luke Longley are either one on the left and one on the low post, or one on each of the high and low posts. Mourning is the main force and will pass the ball to Luke Longley on the other end...

Luke Longley either played singles or passed back to Mourning, which made Li Shengli's head big.

Luke Longley singles?

Li Shengli is not afraid. Although it is not easy to block shots because of the same height, Li Shengli can still easily interfere with Luke Longley's shots and lower his shooting percentage.

However, Luke Longley didn't care about these at all. He chose singles, and he was not afraid of not scoring, because his good friend Mourning must be on the way to grab offensive rebounds. Rebounding is basically not Mourning's opponent.

And if Mourning's chances are good, Luke Longley's choice is to pass Mourning back, and Mourning will launch the attack.

As for the Timberwolves defensively...

The combination of the two towers also has great restrictions on Li Shengli. He can push or sway Luke Longley, but Mourning's defense is always timely, and Luke Langley who has recovered, forced Li Shengli to only Can get the ball out.

Speaking of it, the core elements of the Twin Towers combination are passing ability and rebounding awareness, and the combination of Mourning and Luke Longley has pulled these two points to the passing line.

until the end of the first quarter.

The score between the two sides was 28:32. The Timberwolves, who were not optimistic before the game, led by 4 points. Not to mention the surprise of the audience, even the Hornets were caught off guard.

...

Li Shengli's offense was suppressed.

He scored 6 points on 3-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, which is not bad, but in normal times...he can take more shots and hit a higher percentage.

There is also the rebound.

Li Shengli grabbed 3, while the twin towers of Mourning and Luke Longley combined to grab 10.

Seriously... the height of these two is right here.

Luke Longley is 218 centimeters, Mourning is 208 centimeters, and Johnson, the aunt who was supposed to assist Li Shengli, is less than 2 meters tall. Unless he has a good rebound position, he is just a small turret, not enough for the height of the twin towers look.

Fortunately...the Hornets played well in the backcourt. With Lee's victory limited, the striker team led by Gil maintained a good shooting percentage, otherwise the point difference would be far more than 4 points.

Speaking of which, the overall shooting percentage of the Timberwolves is not as good as that of the Hornets, but after all, they catch more rebounds... Backcourt rebounds allow offense and defense to switch, and frontcourt rebounds give them an extra chance to make an offensive shot, which is enough to make up for their shooting percentage.

And if the game goes on at this pace.

As long as the Hornets' backcourt is turned off, the game will be lost without accident. Whether the Hornets' backcourt is turned off or not is related to the strength of the Timberwolves' defense. As long as the Timberwolves strengthen their defense a little bit, the double tower tactics can completely kill the Hornets.

...

Short breaks between festivals.

The Hornets Bishop Alan's face was not very good, and Newman was replaced with Gominsky on the bench.

No way, as a small forward, Newman is really good at attacking the inside, but the two towers of the Timberwolves play a strong inside. The two towers guard the penalty area, and Newman's role has not been fully utilized.

So there are only two solutions that Alan can think of. One is to control the height with the same height to restrain the Timberwolves.

Obviously...replacing Newman with Gominsky, this is the first way to command the heights.

Aunt Johnson has outstanding ability, but lacks height, is easy to be shot defensively, and has obvious disadvantages in rebounding. Gominsky's playing is tantamount to liberating Johnson's offensive ability, and to a certain extent, it can also help Li Shengli stabilize the front and rear courts. rebound.

As for playing outside, playing conversion, and playing speed, this is Alan's alternative plan.

Because outside shooting takes hits, but if Li Shengli is pulled out of the quagmire, his scoring at the basket is much more stable than outside shooting, and Jill, the main shooting player, is not off the field. The Hornets still have good backcourt strength.

...

The second quarter started soon.

Alan's tactical arrangement began to take effect slowly. On the outside... Aunt Johnson temporarily gave up attacking the inside and joined the Jill shooter team. Together with Boggs, one control and two shots stabilized the Hornets' backcourt.

And the inside line... 211 cm Gominsky joined the battle group, relying on his height advantage, he was responsible for marking Mourning, which greatly relieved the pressure on Li Shengli.

...

Minnesota's offensive round.

Mourning received the ball in the high post, found a chance and gave the ball to Luke Longley who was waiting in the low post, and he himself cut straight to the inside. Minsky competed for this offensive rebound.

"Boy, I heard that you are very powerful, but in fact, that's all you need to know. Luke Langley is stern, although he said so, he was actually flustered in his heart.

There was no way, because of the several confrontations with Li Shengli in the first quarter, he was like a weak chicken who was blown out in terms of strength. He could only slightly gain the upper hand by relying on experience and Mourning's combination of twin towers.

However... Li Shengli was expressionless, and he was unwilling to even talk to him, which made him feel insulted and belittled, and his face was livid.

"Shit, get the hell out of here!"

After Luke Longley roared, he lowered his center of gravity, protected the ball with his back, and at the same time gave Li Shengli a hard push, using the power of the recoil to turn over and shoot a jumper.

Because time was running out, Mourning cut into the inside line ahead of Gominsky to grab the board, and what he had to do now was to make a shot, forcing Li Shengli to take off and interfere with the block.

If you win, everyone will be happy!

Missed, Mourning must be able to win this rebound, because Li Shengli, who took off, was too late and Gominsky's position was not good.

What if you have a body?

What about power suppression?

Without the cooperation of your teammates, you... are nothing!

At this moment, Luke Longley felt secretly refreshed, and he couldn't help sighing, what a...smart offensive coordination!
