Chapter 63: Begin the Triangle Offensive
When Zhou Zheng learned that he was going to fight, he also felt that Phil Jackson was joking with him. But the Zen master quickly arranged for him www.biquge.info with Darius Myers, Radmanovic, Luke Wharton and Sashavujacic on the field.
"I don't think we can run and run."
Zhou Zheng told Phil Jackson pessimistically: "The speed and defense of the Detroiters should not be underestimated. ”
Phil Jackson smiled and nodded, "You're right. ”
Then, the whistle blew.
The game begins.
Zhou Zheng felt that Phil Jackson was too inexplicable, knowing that running and bombing was not suitable, why did he continue to use it?
Due to the weakness of the interior line, McDies quickly completed a dunk in the restricted area, and Myers' physique could not hold up his back-to-back singles.
Immediately after McDyce's goal, Zhou Zheng launched a swift offensive, but... The Pistons' position was very timely, and they didn't give Zhou Zheng much to take advantage of. In the end, Zhou Zheng entered the penalty area by blocking and demolishing, and forcibly created a foul on Rasheed Wallace.
Two free throws and two hits.
Looking back, the Pistons still easily beat the Lakers' restricted area.
Defensively, neither Radmanovic nor Myers can be trusted as box defenders.
After another battle, Radmanovich, who was breaking through the three-point line and Zhou Zheng, threw the basketball directly into McDyce's hands under Wallace's strong block.
Lakers fans are starting to get a little anxious, and it's not the style of play they're familiar with.
In fact, Zhou Zheng was even more depressed, knowing that it was the wrong tactic, why did he still implement it?
He could only rush straight and make a pull-up jump shot at the free throw line when his teammates couldn't run out of the open space... Bang!
The shot was still a little shorter after all.
"Why?" Winter was angry and said to Phil Jackson: "The Lakers' players are not used to the run-gun style of play at all, and the little tigers are completely incompatible with them. Moreover, the Detroits are now playing a very mobile Princeton tactic, and you are simply ......"
Winter forcibly held back the expletive.
Phil Jackson laughed: "The Detroit underpants are about to be lifted." ”
Swish!
Little Tiger finally hit a mid-range jumper.
Kankan stabilized the situation.
The Pistons immediately returned with a layup by Rashid Wallace.
Swish!
Little Tiger hits mid-range jumper again...... The 600 mid-range jumpers in the early hours of the morning seemed to be starting to work
Phil Jackson had more smiles on his face.
Bang!
Pulis hit the basket and the tiger rushed into the box to grab the rebound.
Drip!
Phil Jackson stood up and asked for a timeout.
Zhou Zheng was completely stunned... He was preparing to defend and counterattack, and now that the wind is smooth, he actually called a timeout?
"Sit on the bench and rest and give the game to Kobe. In the second half, you go on the field together to harvest the game. ”
Phil Jackson patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder, and he was very pleased: "You performed very well." ”
Zhou Zheng returned to the bench in confusion.
Then, the Lakers went up and down five, and Kobe Bryant took Farmar, Evans, Ratliff, and Andrew Bynum to the court.
"It seems that the Lakers coaching staff no longer trusts Little Tiger and he didn't take advantage of this opportunity." Bill Wharton said happily in the commentary booth: "He's a mess. ”
Neither McBlin nor Reggie Miller echoed his remarks.
In the meantime, the game has begun.
The Lakers returned to the way they were before the arrival of the Little Tigers, with Kobe Bryant going into heads-up mode, and Prince was quickly picked off by him, who used a sharp jump into the box and scored a tough basketball in the defensive gap.
The Pistons are still running the same Princeton system, and with Chris Webber on the court, the offense is a lot more fluid.
However, when it comes to the defensive end, it is clear that the obese Chris Webber can no longer provide strong support. Andrew Bynum and Ratliff began to stir in the paint area.
Coupled with Kobe Bryant's strong play, the battle situation was extremely stalemate.
This situation remained until half-time.
66:56。 The Detroit Pistons, playing on the road, led by 10 points and went into the locker room.
The long-awaited Black Mamba-Tiger connection didn't happen, which made Lakers fans somewhat disappointed and worried...... Haven't they had good chemistry yet? The two dominated each quarter in the first half, will they play at the same time in the second half?
After Kobe Bryant entered the locker room, he openly questioned Phil Jackson's tactical arrangement: "We played an excellent match against the Clippers last night, why did we take it apart tonight?" ”
Kobe's words sounded a bit like a complaint between lovers, complaining about why the Zen master beat the mandarin duck to break him up with Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng actually wanted to hear Phil Jackson's explanation.
"Be patient, Kobe." Phil Jackson said mildly: "You need to think differently, you guys are fighting on their own, and the Detroiters can only stretch the margin to 10 points." What does this mean? ”
Kobe Bryant thought for a moment.
Zhou Zheng said: "Actually... The Detroits weren't sure about my breakthrough, they were helpless against Kobe's mid-range kills, and they had inside... Their inside advantage is gradually being lost. If we can really link them up, we can beat them, even if we are 10 points behind. ”
Phil Jackson gave Zhou Zheng a surprised look, and then he added: "They also have no way to deal with your pull-up jumper. ”
Then, Jackson pulls out the tactical board. He started to set up tactics, and he finally started talking about triangle tactics, and he arranged for Zhou Zheng to play at the same time as Kobe Bryant, and he told the players: "Remember, the core of triangle tactics is to make ace players more comfortable one-on-one heads-up. All the rotations, all the runs, all the covers, all the strong and weak side transfers are in the service of this core goal. ”
"Now, Tiger is also an ace player."
Phil Jackson officially announced Zhou Zheng's central position: "At the same time, he is the most important central axis...... When you get the ball in any position and can't handle yourself, quickly pass the ball to the free throw line area, where he will catch the ball and redistribute it. ”
No one had any objections to Jackson's arrangement, and from the day the deal took place, everyone understood that Little Tiger was here to be the second in charge. It's just that... At that time, they did not expect that Little Tiger's tactical status would be so high.
"Listen, Tiger, before the playoffs, you've got to get your mid-range jumper percentage up to 48 percent."
Phil Jackson clearly conveyed his request to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng shrugged his shoulders, this is not an easy thing to do.
Kobe Bryant glared at him hard: "From now on, practice 800 mid-range jumpers every day." ”
