Chapter 67: I Know (1)
"Foul!"
Sloane's lips spoke the word clearly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He told Deron Williams as well as Cory Breuer, including Kirilenko.
He wants everyone to figure out one thing: "Putting the little tiger to the free throw line at the critical moment is the best defense." ”
On this point, he studied it repeatedly with the coaching team and watched the video highlights repeatedly, and finally came to this conclusion. The Tigers are shooting 73 percent from the field on average this season and 76 percent from the free throw line in the playoffs.
This kind of shooting percentage is decent for a defender, not good, not ugly, and no fault.
However, in contrast, the Tigers shot 57 percent in the last three minutes, and if you add in the number of fouls, the true shooting percentage has crossed the 60 percent mark. That is, as long as he shoots, there is a 60% probability of hitting.
What a horrible lethality.
Even Kobe Bryant didn't shoot more than 60% from the field in the final three minutes...... Of course, the defensive level he faces is higher than that of the Little Tigers.
"We've got to disrupt his attacking rhythm with a lot of fouls and we can't let him do whatever he wants. Sloan said categorically, "Kill his key miracle in Salt Lake City." ”
"But... I've been fouled four times. ”
Carlos Boozer asked worriedly. He cherishes his playing time and he doesn't want to be stuck on the bench for foul play.
"This is the poison pill plan!"
Coach Sloan never bargains with his players, he is ruthless: "After you are gone, we still have Paul Millsap. ”
Carlos kept his mouth shut, and the rest of the players all put away their objections.
Drip!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
When he came on the court, the black mamba once again emphasized to the little tiger: "You go to attack, I will cover for you." ”
The high altitude of Salt Lake City has left the Black Mamba a little physically exhausted, and he has unconditional trust in Little Tiger and is willing to hand over some of his privileges to him...... It's their friendship.
Bang!
Carlos Boozer shoots iron.
Andrew Bynum protected the backcourt rebound and hurriedly handed it to the Black Mamba. The Black Mamba turned his hand and threw it to the Little Tiger, who held the ball firmly across the half, and in the face of Deron Williams' defense, he suddenly accelerated...... DeLong's defense forced a step back and made a quick stop, and just as he was about to change direction, Delon Williams quickly rushed up and hugged him directly.
The referee was stunned.
Then the whistle blew.
Deron Williams 4 fouls.
Little Tiger walks to the free throw line...... The Jazz have already committed more than five fouls in this quarter, and even if it wasn't a shooting foul, the offensive team had to go to the free throw line.
"Are the Jazz slashing sharks?"
McBrin didn't understand what Coach Sloan was trying to do: "The little tiger's free-throw shooting percentage isn't bad, it's somehow high compared to his jump shot. ”
Magic Johnson said: "Sloan is trying to disrupt the Tiger's offensive rhythm. Putting him to the free-throw line is a better option than driving him crazy. ”
"Coach Sloan is very pragmatic, he never wants to break his opponent in one fell swoop, just maintain a one-point lead to finish the game. ”
Swish!
Swish!
Little Tiger hit both free throws.
Coach Sloan raised his brow slightly, he didn't care.
Turning around, Deron Williams launched an offensive, he used his strong body and a weird sideways swing to crash away from the little tiger's defense, and then made a one-step pull-up jump shot at the free throw line, and the little tiger tried hard to block, but after all, it was still a bad move.
Swish!
Deron Williams hit the ball safely.
At the University of Illinois, he became known for his mid-range jumper.
It's just that at that time, the Three Musketeers of Illinois were mercilessly slaughtered by Little Tiger.
This is the biggest regret of his college career, and now, he wants to return this failure to Little Tiger.
Yibian fought again, the little tiger still attacked with the ball, but on the way to the breakthrough, he was directly hugged to the ground by Carlos Boozer.
His fouls were vicious.
It was his fifth foul.
There was a lot of cheers and applause from the audience, and the Salt Lake City fans liked the toughness, even though many Utah fans in the series before that thought Carlos' style of play was too soft...... They don't like kite strikers floating on the outside.
"You don't want to get even one point in a sports game. ”
Carlos Boozer fiercely warned the little tiger: "We will fight you to the end!"
This is intimidation.
The little tiger scoffed.
He walked to the free-throw line.
Bang!
The first ball was a little stiff and missed.
The little tiger rubbed his right shoulder, which had caused some muscle pain when he had just fallen to the ground.
The black mamba hurriedly walked over: "Give me the next ball." ”
He was feeling sorry for the little tiger and was afraid that the little tiger would be hurt.
Normally, the little tiger will follow the instructions of the Black Mamba, whether in the locker room or on the court, he has always maintained his status as the team's second leader. But now, he shook his head firmly: "No!"
Little Tiger is a paranoid person, and the more rampant the enemy, the more ferocious he becomes.
This is the same as the Black Mamba.
If it were other leaders, they might feel that they were offending themselves. But the Black Mamba is different, he is able to understand this emotion and... He is willing to tolerate this sentiment of the little tiger.
That's why Zen masters would say that Little Tiger is the best player for Black Mamba.
Swish!
Little Tiger hits the second free-throw.
But by this time the team was already 1 point behind.
Sloane's brow furrowed, and the game was heading in the direction he had predicted...... The poison pill program is doing its job.
“…… Time is running out. ”
The host of CCTV was fiercely criticizing Utah Jazz: "Boozer took out his dirty trick again, he threw Zhou Zheng to the ground." They use this self-righteous toughness to attack their opponents. Maybe they'll win the game, but they'll never win respect. ”
Making the game 'ugly' is a traditional skill for playoff powerhouses, whether it's Sloan, Sanders, Popovich, or even the Cardinals of the year, they are all good at it...... These old diehards don't want to be responsible for the audience, they don't want to be responsible for the ratings, they are only responsible for the victory.
Swish!
Kirilenko hit a pull-up jumper.
The lead has come to 3 points.
Bynum was a little hesitant to serve, he wanted to give the ball directly to the Black Mamba, and he didn't want to see the little tiger go to the free throw line again...... He didn't think it was the right way to play, and he didn't like to watch the game go forward and not feel like he was involved.
He was hesitating, but the little tiger had already walked up, snatched the ball directly from him, and then launched an attack forward.
"You should put the ball inside and play inside. ”
The baby shark chased after him.
Little Tiger ignored it, he didn't think Bynum could throw the ball in under the Jazz's tough interior blockade, at least not yet.
When the little tiger came to the three-point line with the ball, Deron Williams had already defended it.
However, the little tiger bent down, he became extremely patient, and time passed quickly. There are less than 76 seconds left until the end of the race.
He calmly dribbled the ball under his crotch.
It was as if it had come to the most critical moment.
At this point, the Lakers trailed by 3 points.
Coach Sloan made a decision, he pressed his hands down, telling his players not to foul early.
At the same time, he also made a gesture of wrapping, this time he wanted to bury the little tiger directly outside the three-point line.
"Little Tiger is too self-righteous. ”
Reggie Miller shook his head: "The Lakers are already 3 points behind, he is still pressing the rhythm, and he even put on a posture to open the singles, is he going to carry out his personal heroism to the end?"
Miller thinks Tiger Cub has a fever in his brain and has been delirious by Coach Sloan's tactics.
"This kind of insistence is completely unnecessary. ”
McBrin also couldn't understand the little tiger's behavior.
Magic Johnson's brow furrowed, as if he had guessed something.
Halfway through, he shouted, "I know!!"
