Chapter 75
The Clippers fielded, a small lineup that completely surprised everyone, what does that mean? When it comes to basketball, the first thing that comes to people's minds is tall, although the NBA will occasionally appear like the flying squirrel Damon Staudemeyer who is only 1.78 meters short point guard, showing good basketball strength, but it can't change the fact that basketball is dominated by tall players, and there is such a saying in the NBA: When you are in the draft, faced with a choice, and you don't know who to choose, then there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a tall man. The phrase "Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info is one of the criteria for almost all NBA manager drafts.
Today's small lineup of the Clippers in the third quarter may seem very common now in 2016, but in the NBA in 2000, the afterglow of the four centers still shrouded. The first person in the league is still the 2.16-meter Shaq O'Neal reign, which is completely a feat, his appearance may change some of the trends of basketball, the two coaches sitting on both sides of the court, and now their hearts are not calm, the Clippers' small lineup has increased the speed, the Lakers are in trouble, and the role of Shaq O'Neal at this time is completely limited, because of his huge body, a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and his physical strength is constantly losing in the round trip, but Phil Jackson did not ask for a timeout, the Zen master looked at the court as if he was in a meditation, but his heart was already turbulent.
The Clippers' Bill Fitch didn't get any better either, and he still deeply remembers the conversation Tiger had with him when he joined the Clippers at the beginning of the season, in which Tiger told him a tactic that made Bill Fitch fanatically trapped, and this tactic is called pulling the inside line. At that time, he and Tiger had the same initial idea, using interior players with strong athleticism and mid-range shooting ability to attack under the basket in a mobile way, just like Wang Zhizhi's type of player, but Wang Zhizhi's defensive problems have not been solved, so although the Clippers have been training according to this idea, just like when he sent Wang Zhizhi in the fourth quarter of the first time in this series, it has never reached the point they envisioned.
This afternoon, Tiger approached him and suggested another way to pull the inside line short, and he thought Tiger Washington was crazy! The two of them had a long debate, and both of them were very emotional at the time, and neither of them could convince anyone, until finally, Tiger asked him: "Coach, to be honest, do you think we can beat the Lakers according to the current situation?" ”
Bilfitch sighed, although he was unwilling, but he still said honestly: "No, we don't have any advantage in strength at all, even though I have been encouraging everyone to have fighters and tell everyone that we are the strongest, but I know that it is only a matter of time before we are out." ”
"Since we have to be out of the game sooner or later, why don't we give it a try, even if we lose, we will come back next year, we don't care if we win or lose, what is there to be afraid of trying out the new lineup?" Tiger last night, lying in bed, has been thinking about the game with the Lakers, so much so that he had a dream at night, the fragments in the dream are not continuous, but he doesn't remember after waking up, but the only thing left is a small lineup, after this idea appeared, Tiger couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart at all, he knew that now, this lineup is too shocking, but he is absolutely unwilling not to try, even if there is a glimmer of hope, he doesn't want to give up.
After listening to Tiger's words, Bill Fitch fell into a long thought, he thought of the enthusiasm when he first entered the basketball industry, the excitement of his glory days, the unwillingness of his downfall period, and finally the redemption when he joined the Clippers again, why did he hesitate in the end? What is he hesitating about? Afraid of being criticized by the outside world? Oppugn? Not really. But as the sun and the moon passed, he lost his initial enthusiasm, and looking at Tiger with an expectant face, Bill Fitch sighed: "It's good to be young!" ”
With Bilfitch's consent, the present scene appeared at night, although he had been sitting firmly in the chair, but only he knew that now his hands were full of sweat, and his legs were a little shaking, and he couldn't stand up at all, all because of excitement, yes! Bill Fitch is thrilled right now! In fact, he didn't expect such a result, they had practiced many times, and it was completed in this situation, although it was different from what was originally envisioned, but there was another basketball formation that made him more obsessed with and wanted to study in depth.
In the third quarter, the game entered an official timeout, and the Clippers used pressing and defense to lead the Lakers by 6 points, and in this series, the Clippers' starting lineup defeated the Lakers in the score for the first time.
"Oh! The game went into an official timeout, I was completely stunned by the Clippers' performance, I haven't come back to my senses yet, the third quarter is already halfway through, I have to say that Coach Bilfitch of the Clippers, really is a great coach, Elvin do you have anything to say? N's commentator looked at the players gathered on the sidelines and sighed, he really didn't react, and the time passed.
"I'm so excited right now! Man, you know, I used to play center in the game, because I was actually a point guard, and we who were already considered crazy at the time never imagined that this would happen, oh! It's all crazy! If I didn't see it with my own eyes, it's hard for me to imagine that such a lineup would appear on the NBA court, the Clippers' lineup is very thoughtful, 4 of the 5 players on the court have the ability to break through, they are like 4 swing guards, 4 people have the ability to play individually, I used to think that Ginobili and Tiger Washington's style of play is too similar, they appear on the court at the same time, if you can't adjust well, there will be problems, but today the Clippers subverted my thinking, They actually used 4 players of similar types to complete the quick offense with speed and pressing, and Bruce Bowen, the only player on the team who did not have this offensive ability, made up for it on the defensive end, and he was very limited to Kobe. Oh my! I feel like I'm going to be a fan of Coach Bill Fitch at this moment, even though I'm rooting for the Lakers. Magic Johnson is also excited right now, which can be heard in his words, as a Lakers celebrity, he said such a thing for the first time in a Lakers game.
"Erwin, don't talk about you, you look at the fans at the scene, they are also all calm, don't you find that the whole stadium is quiet?" (To be continued.) )
