Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

67:71

In the second half, after Wang Zhiyi came up and made three consecutive three-pointers, the point difference was instantly narrowed to only 4 points!

This has to lament the power of the explosive feel!

Indeed, on the court, sometimes it is like this. When an attacker's hand feels hot to a certain extent, he cannot be stopped!

In fact, the Mavericks as a whole have this characteristic. A team that uses shooting as its main offensive method plays the moment when the hand feels overwhelming and the three-pointer rains down on the court!

If other teams encounter this explosive touch, they must call a timeout to adjust their defensive tactics, or use this to cool down Wang Zhi's fiery touch.

But this is the Lakers, a dynastic team that has won three championships in a row!

Their head coach Phil Jackson is the Legendary coach who has created two dynasties in a row. For him, this is just a small scene.

He doesn't even need to arrange anything, because he understands that the players will solve such small problems on the court by themselves!

Yes, there are indeed people who intend to stand up and solve the problem themselves!

The Lakers' No. 8 player, Kobe Bryant, looked even more grim after Wang Zhi made a long-range three-pointer right in front of his eyes.

He is an ambitious player, and he is not willing to be said to be "holding his thigh" to win three championships!

He has already established his goal, this arena, in the future he will be the real "boss"!

Well, for this goal, he will not forget about it.

Even brought in the characters ahead of time!

Now, he can not score or show off, but when others want to show off in his territory, he will definitely stand up!

The Lakers attack, and O'Neal scores again!

67:73

On the Mavericks turn, Avery Johnson dribbled the ball upfield and gave it to Wang Zhi again.

But this time, Wang Zhi felt the pressure immediately!

Kobe Bryant started to defend him closely, and Kobe's thugs clinged to Wang Zhi's body, constantly testing his arms and waist and hips.

This made Wang Zhi very uncomfortable with the ball!

When Nowitzki's screen came, Wang Zhi was trying to get rid of Kobe through the screen, and was about to release the ball, but felt his arm was pulled, and then he dropped the ball!

The ball was taken by Kobe!

The sudden mistake made Wang Zhi a little surprised, but he didn't panic.

Keeping calm, Wang Zhi knew that if Bryant was allowed to start, then the latter would definitely be a fast break dunk.

Therefore, Wang Zhi fought back decisively and stopped Kobe's fast break with a foul!

It seems that this is a mistake by Wang Zhi in the attack, resulting in being intercepted by the opponent!

It's normal to make mistakes, as long as you play on the court, everyone will make mistakes.

But at this time Wang Zhi fell into deep thought!

Kobe's actions just now, in his subconscious mind, were foul actions!

Wang Zhi was still holding the ball, and Kobe's hands were already in contact with his arms, fingers, waist and hips.

And when Wang Zhi released the ball and was about to dribble, Kobe's hand even pulled his arm. Although the pull was not obvious, the contact just under the referee's nose was not called a foul?

Is this the home whistle? Or the star whistle?

He even wanted to argue with the referee a little bit.

But suddenly, I figured it out!

This was 2002, and the league at this time was still implementing the Handcheck rule!

Yes, this is a rule that is very beneficial to perimeter defenders.

The main body of this rule is that the defender can track the opponent's position by touching the opponent's body with his hands.

Specifically, the defender can be allowed to touch the opponent with his hands, but he cannot exert force or block the opponent.

It sounds simple, and the rules are clear.

But in practice, it will definitely be a little fuzzy.

The defender uses his arm to track the attacker. Did he make any effort? Did he pull? Did he make small moves?

Sometimes referees are hard to define.

Just like Kobe defending Wang Zhi just now, Kobe clings to Wang Zhi's dribbling area with his hands, posing a threat of steals at any time.

Although Wang Zhi carefully avoided being sliced ​​or chipped away, when he released the ball to break through, his arm was still pulled by Kobe, resulting in a fumble.

Under the current handcheck rules, this defensive action is very vague, even under the nose of the referee, it still hasn't been whistled.

Of course, for this kind of action, the referee whistled a foul, which is normally fine.

But this is the home court of the Lakers, and although Kobe is not yet a superstar, he is already a player between an All-Star and a superstar, and Wang Zhi, who he is facing, is just a player without any honor. A sophomore rookie.

If it really blows up, the fans at the scene probably won't do it.

Wang Zhi, who had thought about this point clearly, was no longer in doubt.

At the same time, he also had to face a problem.

That is, can I use this post-20s style of play with the outside ball core, can it really be effective under the rules of this era?

You must know that there is not much room for outside players in this era, and inside players account for a huge proportion of the scoring list.

Even super outside scorers like Kobe, McGrady, and Iverson, in fact, it is not easy for them to score. In this harsh environment, "you need to use the number of shots of the king to exchange for points.

This has caused them to use difficult shots to score on the offensive end, and at the same time, they will also create a shooting rate far lower than that of inside players.

This is completely different from the rules of the NBA 20 years later.

In the future, in the era known as "body hair. 々 whistle", defenders are not allowed to have any contact with attackers.

Once contact, even the contact of body hair level, will be whistled for a foul.

Under such rules, batches of master foul-makers have been trained.

Because of this, some veteran fans ridiculed the rules of that era as "body whistle".

The star template activated by Wang Zhi, Luka Doncic was the best of that era.

He is not only an all-around Warrior, but also a master at drawing fouls.

He can even get more than 10 free throws per game, which was completely impossible 20 years ago.

Because of this, some old-school fans feel that players like Doncic cannot survive in the era 20 years ago.

Of course, according to normal circumstances, it is impossible for Doncic to return to 20 years ago, and there is no way to verify these views of old-school fans.

But now, Wang Zhi can verify this problem.

After activating the Doncic template, he is similar to the Dianka Doncic who entered the league at the beginning of 18 in terms of various technical characteristics.

He is also young and growing up.

So, can the almost identical technical features survive in this era?

Before tonight, perhaps this problem will not be a problem.

Because Wang Zhi has proved with one game after another that he is able to perform well in the NBA in this era.

But now, this question seems to be marked with a question mark.

This question mark comes from the current NBA rules, specifically, the handcheck rule.

Kobe has already used a successful defense to demonstrate how to defend the kind of outside players who can neither run fast nor jump high under the handcheck rule.

Then, after this time, Tian Zhi will face this type of defense again and again!

Perhaps, it was because he was not famous enough and the opponents he encountered were not strong enough.

There is no such famous perimeter gate to carry out this kind of forcing defense against him.

This phenomenon is called "rookie bonus", which means that rookies can often perform well without attracting attention.

And once he plays well and his opponents start to pay attention to him, his performance and statistics will be greatly reduced as soon as the targeted defense comes up. This is the "rookie wall".

And one thing to say, Wang Zhi's technical characteristics are indeed not the mainstream of outside players in this era.

In order to fight against the handcheck rule, the league's top outside scorers' approach.

Either it is fast enough, just like Allen Iverson, so fast that the defender can't keep up with him, so naturally he can't interfere with him.

Either be high enough to jump high enough! Just like Kobe and McGrady, they have excellent jumping and core strength. Whether it is a pull-up jumper or a picturesque fadeaway jumper, a perimeter defender of the same height is indeed very good. It is difficult to interfere with them.

But Wang Zhi is not fast, and even a little slow.

Also can't jump high.

Can it really adapt to this era?

That's the question Wang Zhi faced, and he didn't know the answer himself.

If you can't adapt to the rules of this era, what should you do? Do you want to change your style?

I'm afraid I can't change it even if I want to, after all, his physical talent and condition determine his current characteristics.

So, what should we do? Actively look for a solution? Or hang around for two years, waiting for the reform of NOhandcheck rules?

Wang Zhi is not a salty fish, he is a competitive and positive person.

Of course not the latter.

He is looking for a solution.

Beep!

The referee whistled, the Lakers sent a sideline ball, and the Lakers attacked.

The ball was still given to the basket, and O'Neal easily ate Bradley again.

67:75

In an instant, the point difference was stretched to 8 points.

The Lakers fans set off another heat wave. On the defensive end, Kobe stood up, and he successfully restricted the opponent's fiery arrow figure.

On the offensive end, O'Neal is still unrivaled.

Looking at the situation, both offensive and defensive ends have an absolute advantage, and everything is back on track!

The Mavericks attack, Tian Zhi suffers another setback against Kobe!

This time, after the pick-and-roll, the Lakers suddenly double-teamed. Wang Zhi passed the ball decisively after seeing Nowitzki's down-shun. On the forearm, Wang Zhi made another bad pass.

The Lakers launched a fast break and Kobe made a dunk!

67:77

Falling behind by 10 points, the Mavericks had to call a timeout.

Old Nelson made adjustments to the lineup. He replaced Wang Zhi and replaced him with Van Exel.

In fact, Wang Zhi didn't play for a few minutes, he was replaced early.

To some extent, when a rookie player makes consecutive mistakes on the court, he will indeed be replaced immediately.

Wang Zhi made mistakes in both attacks...  

But this is not the key point. Based on the old Nelson's expectations for Wang Zhizhi today, mistakes are not the main reason for being replaced.

What Old Nelson paid attention to happened to be the crux of the problem!

Wang Zhi's special style of play was greatly restricted by the current handcheck rules of the league. For two consecutive rounds, Wang Zhi could not find a way to break it.

Old Nelson replaced Wang Zhi at this time, and motioned for Wang Zhi to sit beside him.

Obviously, he wanted to give Wang Zhi some guidance.

When Wang Zhi went off the field, the Mavericks' offense entered a hurricane mode. Whether it was Van Exel or Nowitzki, they almost simply made some screens and cooperated, and then they took the ball and shot.

Without Nash's gossip, the Mavericks naturally like to use this simple and efficient style of play with a high percentage of hits.

Fortunately, the two feel good. Although they are not as explosive as Wang Zhi, they can barely maintain the point difference after the Lakers' O'Neal is off the court for a rest.

`~Wang, do you know why in the third quarter, we stopped targeting Shaquille O'Neal?"

The question was not directly asked about Wang Zhi, but other questions about the competition.

Old Nelson was always so unexpected, even a question made Wang Zhi a little surprised.

Of course the smart Wang Zhi could figure it out, since the old Nelson asked such a question, it meant that he had no intention of giving up in this match.

However, Wang Zhi really couldn't figure out what the answer to Old Nelson's question was.

For those uncertain answers, Wang Zhi will not open his mouth.

Therefore, he just shook his head and said with a smile: "The answer will definitely be unexpected."

Old Nelson did not answer directly, but instead turned the question to the main topic: "Wang, tonight is probably the first time you have encountered such a strong defense in the NBA. ability, you should find a way to deal with it.”

Wang Zhi didn't say anything, just nodded.

Seeing this, Old Nelson said with a smile: "Look at the game carefully, as a bystander, you will definitely be inspired!"

On the court, when Kobe used the same defensive method to defend Van Exel, the nerve-knives main attacker on the Mavericks bench was able to easily deal with it through some ball-protecting moves, whether it was Attacking by himself, or playing pick-and-roll with his teammates, Wang Zhi never dropped the ball twice in a row.

Although Van Exel sometimes hits the iron with his shots, sometimes he causes fouls.

But at least, he won't make mistakes.

Wang Zhi understood that the gap between him and Van Exel in handling the ball almost all came from his own lack of experience in the game.

Immediately, he began to observe the game seriously.

Throughout the second half of the third quarter, Wang Zhi did not play again, but the Mavericks, relying on the performance of Nowitzki and Van Exel, did not allow the point difference to be quickly opened up.

After the Lakers replaced the rotation, the effect was not good.

After the third quarter, the away game Mavericks 83:93, 10 points behind.

Although the point difference is not much, Lakers fans are still talking about everything easily.

For them, as long as the game enters the fourth quarter and the Lakers are still ahead [then there is a high probability that this game will be taken off the boat.

Looking at the entire league, the Lakers, who have won three consecutive championships, are the team that can play the fourth quarter best. Many games that are still behind after three quarters can eventually be turned over with a high probability.

From this point of view, tonight is probably another easy victory.

Scarlett on the sidelines was a little lost, and during the chat with Julie, she complained from time to time: "What are the Mavericks doing? Wang Zhi played so well, why did he replace him for no reason?"

Julie next to her didn't pick up her words, but said: "Don't worry, Scarlett, the Mavericks rested two main players tonight. They are short of people. If there is no accident, your little handsome guy will definitely be in the last quarter of the game." You still have to go back to the court, when the time comes, the plan may be implemented... But now, I think you need to buy two cups of coffee, by the way, for Xia Tian's ["

After hearing this, Scarlett showed a sweet smile.

Although she was doing some errand work for a small follower, she enjoyed it and immediately took advantage of the rest time between festivals to temporarily leave the stadium and go outside to buy coffee. .
