Chapter 330: Not Afraid of Tigers (4)

The purpose of the Rockets is to force the Lakers players to shoot as soon as possible, and pressing the whole court is also a clear move. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Either you keep passing the ball and shoot quickly; Or you just wait for the opponent to be cut off under the pressure of the opponent's full-court press, and the opponent will launch a fast attack.

Therefore, full-court pressing is the best way to help Ryu-seong score as soon as possible. The pace of the game is fast, and Long Zheng will naturally get more opportunities to shoot, and the probability of catching up with Chamberlain's 100-point record will increase.

......

Because point guard Kenny Smith is of average physical fitness, and his tight defense is difficult to put real pressure on opposing players, Long Zheng took the initiative to ask to switch positions with him and defend the Lakers' point guard tightly.

Seeing that the Lakers point guard received the ball from his teammate's sideline serve and dribbled forward, Long Zheng decisively opened the "god moment" in his heart, and pounced directly.

For six minutes off the bench, Ryu-jeong didn't just regain his strength, he watched the Lakers' point guard all the time.

For six minutes of play, the Lakers point guard only used his right hand to dribble, and he never used his left hand to dribble in any situation. As for the other opponent's other playing habits, Long Zheng also knows a little.

In basketball, the fierce physical confrontation is one of the highlights.

At this moment, Long Zheng pressed the Lakers point guard and pressed the opponent with fierce physical confrontation. Faced with Long Zheng's terrifying aura, the Lakers point guard could only turn his back to Long Zheng in order to protect the ball.

Sticking to the Lakers point guard, Ryu-jeong squatted slightly. At the same time, Ryu-jeong spreads his arms and waits for an opportunity to break the ball.

On the other side, the Lakers point guard leaned on Ryu-jung and scanned the half court to find a teammate who could pass the ball. Seeing his own scoring guard get rid of Kenny Smith and ask for the ball from him, the Lakers point guard didn't think much about it, and decisively wanted to pass the ball.

It's too late, it's too fast, at the moment when the Lakers point guard tried to pass the ball, Long Zheng suddenly made a move, relying on his height and long arms, forcibly dropped the racket and fished the basketball back.

After breaking the ball, Long Zheng turned into a tiger down the mountain, and he rushed to the three-point line in three steps and two steps, and a stop-and-go jump shot, Long Zheng hit three points steadily in the eyes of the remorseful defenders.

The score of the two teams was 116:58, of which Long Zheng scored 84 points alone, which was only 16 points away from Chamberlain's single game of 100 points.

As soon as Long Zheng came on the court, he hit two fatal three-pointers and played a wave of 6:0 mini-climax. The Lakers players, who struggled to defend Long Zheng, couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in their hearts.

At this moment, they seemed to see that Chamberlain, who was omnipotent on the court back then, was back, and they were the backdrop for Long Zheng to break various records when he first appeared in the NBA.

This feeling of powerlessness made their hearts very depressed and confused at the same time.

It has to be said that the Lakers players are in an unprecedented predicament.

At such a time, it is often necessary for the team's leading stars to stand up and lead everyone through the fog with a "big heart". It's a pity that the current Lakers team is at the lowest point of strength, and there is no such a "big heart" player to lead everyone. In desperation, Lakers interim head coach Bill Betka could only use a timeout to buffer time.

Timeout, Lakers in the dugout.

Looking at the many players with low morale, interim head coach Bill Betka couldn't help but feel bitter.

"There are five minutes and thirty-six seconds left in the game."

Bill Betka said in a low voice: "But Long Zheng has scored 84 points, which is only 16 points away from Chamberlain's single-game record of 100 points. ”

"This is just Ryu-jeong's first NBA game, are you willing to be his background board like this." Bill Betka began to cheer up everyone's morale: "I'm sure you won't, and the Lakers' honor won't allow you to do that. Now, I'm going to ask you, can you stop Long Zheng? ”

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Swear to stop Long Zheng to the death!" ......

Bill Betka's agitation worked and boosted everyone's morale.

"Well, in the next game, everyone will directly use foul tactics." After a pause, Bill Betka continued: "Of course, foul tactics can't be used against Dragons who are holding the ball. As soon as the other Rockets players touch the ball, they immediately use foul tactics to cut off the Rockets' offensive rhythm through foul tactics. After talking about defense, let's talk about offense. Now, how do you think about how to break the Rockets' full-court press? ”

After Bill Betka finished speaking, there was silence in the Lakers coach's box.

There is no doubt that the Rockets' full-court pressing tactics completely broke the Lakers' interruption of delaying the game, and if they didn't shoot as soon as possible, then it was easy to make a mistake and be directly stealed by the Rockets players to launch a fast break.

However, if they shoot quickly, it will undoubtedly be what Team Rockets wish, allowing them to successfully speed up the pace of the game and increase Ryuzheng's chances of shooting. Mr. Egg Chicken is still Mr. Chicken Egg, the Lakers at this moment are undoubtedly stuck in such a dead loop.

"Coach, use a malicious foul to directly injure Long Zheng and let him go?"

In the silence, the small forward of the Lakers suddenly opened his mouth and said in a condensed voice: "For the honor of the Lakers, I am willing to take action personally and get Long Zheng off the court." ”

Facing the eyes of the team's small forward, Bill Betka's heart is in the middle of a battle between heaven and man.

Because he was afraid that Long Zheng would score more than 100 points on the Lakers, he wanted to viciously foul him and get him off the court, which is undoubtedly a unsportsmanlike move.

Is the Lakers' honor important, or is sportsmanship important? Bill Betka kept weighing up.

The game has taken a total of 42 minutes and 24 seconds so far, and Long Zheng has scored a total of 84 points; At this time, there were five minutes and thirty-six seconds left in the game, and with the covering support of four teammates and Ryu-seong, he had already rested for eight minutes to recover his strength.

Bill Betka understands the fact that the Lakers, who have no leader, lack star, and have severely exhausted players, low morale, and a lot of fouls, can barely limit Ryu's scoring to 16 points in 5 minutes and 36 seconds using conventional game methods.

On the other hand, as a draft player in 93, this is only his first NBA regular season game, and even this game is just Long Zheng's first professional basketball game, if Long Zheng's score really breaks 100 in this game.

Long Zheng is undoubtedly famous in the NBA and became the flagship player of the NBA in one fell swoop, but the Lakers will also be completely nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

All kinds of thoughts kept flashing through Bill Betka's mind, and his face became cloudy.

Finally, before the timeout was over, Bill Betka made a decision. (To be continued.) )
