Chapter 18: 10,000 years is too long
"Tiger, back to position 1!"
Phil Jackson announced the order to Zhou Zheng as soon as possible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Immediately, other personnel adjustments were made: "Darius Myers, Kwame Brown, Radmanovic, you guys play." ”
He hasn't picked up the tactical board yet, and it's basically clear to everyone that the next point guard position will be greatly improved.
Phil Jackson didn't emphasize the speed, but he did mention disrupting the Mavericks' existing rhythm and not allowing them to make jump shots comfortably.
The Dallas Mavericks have long been known as the jump shot team, and if you want to beat them, you have to start by disrupting their shooting rhythm.
Zhou Zheng's thoughts are in line with Phil Jackson's.
But it is very difficult to put ideas into practice...... It is impossible for a Maverick not to be unaware of his shortcomings.
Drip!
The whistle blew.
With players from both sides returning to the court, the Lakers' three-up, three-down lineup didn't surprise the Dallasians, who simply replaced Dampier with Diop...... Dampier has already been fouled twice, and Johnson doesn't want him to get caught up in the foul trap too quickly.
"The Mavericks aren't afraid of small-ball tactics, they can pick up the pace at any time. McBrin said: "Coach Johnson didn't throw away the playbook for quick offense when he took Nelson Sr's place. ”
Meanwhile, Myers has passed the ball to Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng did not speed up suddenly, but moved forward with a slow momentum.
When he arrived outside the three-point line, he did not cut into the restricted area sharply, but carefully observed the running position of his teammates.
Immediately, Kobe Bryant ran out, and he made a block for Zhou Zheng.
The little tiger, who was not in a hurry, violently accelerated at the moment when the cover wall appeared, and shook off Jason Terry's defense at a lightning speed, Josh Howard took a big stride and chased after it, but the little tiger suddenly stopped at the free throw line, and when he hurriedly braked, the basketball had already hit the ground and passed to Dalius Miles, who ran back into the penalty area, and Myers put the basketball into the basket with his backhand under the cover of Kwame Brown's stocky body.
"It's kind of like a Princeton tactic. ”
Winter turned his head to the side, and he felt that this style of play was a bit ridiculous.
Phil Jackson was noncommittal.
The most important thing right now is to put the basketball in the hoop, not to trace whether the tactic is unique.
Coming back, Nowitzki singled out Miles, who was still easily cleared away by him, hitting a mid-range jumper from 17 feet out by leaning back.
"Don't jump, just wrap yourself around him. Before Zhou Zheng launched an attack, he deliberately walked up to Miles' side: "Have you forgotten how I taught you to defend Zach alone in Portland? He is much easier to deal with than Randolph, and Zach at least has a back single." ”
Miles is a descendant of Zhou Zheng from the Pioneers, and his voice is always harsh in front of him.
Myers isn't a player who is keen on defense, which is a common problem among high school players...... He has never been able to find his own position, and he has never been able to give full play to the characteristics of long hands and long feet, and his team status is also hovering between rotation players and main players.
It wasn't until he met Zhou Zheng that he really bloomed with the brilliance of some star strikers...... In Portland, he was the Tiger's royal aerobatic pilot. When he arrived at the Lakers, he became the Tigers' most loyal pick-and-roll companion.
The improvement in stats made him willing to listen to the little tiger's command, and under various 'whipping', he began to make some positive moves at certain moments, such as sticking to his opponent like kraft candy.
"Defending is a cool thing. Little Tiger continued to instill in him: "There is nothing more uplifting than seeing the bitter face of an opponent hanging his head." ”
Miles nodded, his gaze locked firmly on Nowitzki.
At the same time, Jason Terry has taken the initiative to catch up with Zhou Zheng.
Syllable!
He directly slashed at Zhou Zheng's arm with a hand knife.
Then he quickly bullied himself and tried to steal the basketball directly.
However, Zhou Zheng was not caught off guard by him, but took advantage of a sharp crossover...... At the moment when the basketball slammed into the floor and bounced away, Jason Terry was slamming into Zhou Zheng with all his might. However... Whew, just a flash of the figure, his sudden sneak attack was declared futile.
At the same time, the little tiger suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward, and in an instant, he was in the three-second zone, and he was just about to jump, Diop on one side rushed out furiously, and hugged him fiercely with open arms...... Drip!
The referee blows the whistle.
"Don't try to score in the box I'm guarding for. ”
Diop warned the little tiger in a fierce tone: "You'd better dismiss this idea." ”
Swish!
Swish!
Two free throws and two hits.
This is the answer of the little tiger.
"Tiger is tougher than expected. McBlin was puzzled and said, "It's just... What's the point of him playing half-court now?"
The magician could not give an answer to this question. Before, he also thought that Zhou Zheng would lead this lineup to play a quick attack, but the current situation is to implement half-court tactics at a glance.
"Could it be Phil Jackson's arrangement?" interjected Reggie Miller.
That sounds like the only reason that works.
At this time, Phil Jackson was shaking his head. He felt that he might have overestimated the resilience of the little tigers, how could he use this lineup to play a positional attack with the Dallas Mavericks?
He wondered if he was going to call a pause to remind the little tiger.
That's it!
Bang!
Nowitzki hit the basket with Darius Myers' kraft candy interference.
Roar!
Kwame Brown roared angrily, carried Diop to pick up the rebound, and then quickly handed it to the little tiger.
Little Tiger took the basketball, and without waiting for the nerves of the Dallas Mavericks players to react, he quickly launched a sharp offensive.
“run!”
He shouted, and his footsteps were already lightning through the midfield. Radmanovic and Kobe Bryant followed up quickly with a left and a right...... The more experienced Darius Miles even ran in front of the little tiger.
When Zhou was holding the ball to the top of the three-point line, the Mavericks only had Starkerhouse, Nowitzki and Jason Tree catching up.
Four-on-three in the frontcourt.
Syllable!
Shout!
The little tiger made a sharp change of direction to completely shake off Jasontree's follow-up, accelerated into the three-point line, and led Nowitzki's defense to the depths of the box. When Nowitzki couldn't retreat, he suddenly stopped and shoved the basketball to the left, and Nowitzki quickly stretched out his arm to pounce, thinking that the little tiger would give the basketball to Dalius Myers, who was fast following on the other side...... Little Tiger and Miles have the most air connection frequency in their statistics.
However... At the moment when the German tank slid violently, the little tiger flipped his wrist and the basketball was passed backwards in the form of hitting the ground...... It's a classic no-look-pass!
Nowitzki was taken aback.
At the same time, Kobe Bryant appeared behind the little tiger like a ghost, and when he arrived, he caught the basketball just right, and then took a strong lift, and Nowitzki quickly retreated...... He didn't want to be the crotch of the Black Mamba.
Rumble!
Dallas' basket shuddered and surrendered under the onslaught of the Black Mamba.
While Kobe Bryant hung arrogantly on the basket, poor Starkerhouse was still cautiously following Darius Miles...... He didn't know that Miles was just a decoy.
"It's kind of interesting. ”
Phil Jackson nodded.
He felt as if he was underestimating the little tiger.
"Tiger's passing skills are very unique. Winter leaned over to him and complimented.
Phil Jackson shook his head: "His pacing is more interesting. ”
"What do you mean?" Winter didn't know, and in his opinion, it was just a successful defensive counterattack.
Yibian fought again, and Jason Terry, who had failed to defend twice, decided to play alone. He launched an offensive on the left side of the little tiger strongly, and then suddenly stopped, Zhou Zheng understood his routine and prepared for it, but when it came to the scene, the reaction was still a little worse, and he failed to directly seal Jason Tree's eyes.
Fortunately, however, I prayed for the effect of interference.
Bang!
Jason Terry's jumper misses the basket.
Miles took advantage of Kwame Brown's thick card position to easily pick up the rebound, and then passed it to Zhou Zheng.
The Lakers ran wildly again, and before Zhou Zheng reached the top of the arc outside the three-point line, he quickly threw the basketball to Radmanovic in the bottom corner in the form of a behind-the-back pass.
Radmanovic has a knife in his hand...... Swish!
Out of three!
Drip!
The Mavericks asked for a timeout.
If this continues, the Mavericks' rhythm must be disrupted.
"Hey, Master Shot. Zhou Zheng deliberately walked in front of Jason Terry when he was off the court: "Do you think there are any other things that need to be corrected about my show-off just now?"
The little tiger humbly asks for advice, but the face of the 'jet' is ugly and mushy. He clearly knew that Little Tiger was taking revenge on his previous remarks.
"Don't get complacent too soon!"
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
