Chapter 692: Elevator Door Tactics

115-118, with only 49 seconds left in the game, there are probably two normal rounds left to play, and if you pick up the speed, maybe three.

Kobe Bryant was a little hot, and he took the ball alone, but he was chased and intercepted by 3 people on this ball, and the basketball slid out of the basket.

"Rebound! Grab the rebound! Everyone on the Lakers shouted loudly, but just like just now, Tang Qian was entangled by 2 people, plus it was offensive rebounding, and he was not inherently dominant, so the basketball was won by Green again. Jordan. At the critical moment, Hill completely dropped the chain and was completely suppressed by Green's rebounding.

Jordan. Hill is logically better than Drummond. Green is also 6~7CM taller, which is already a lot taller in the NBA, but unfortunately Hill's rebounding at critical moments is the bottom of the league, that is, people who usually can't grab him can get him at critical moments. Of course, Green is originally better than Hill's rebounding ability, and Hill is not his opponent at a critical moment.

All of a sudden, the Warriors started to press the tempo, and they had to spend 24 seconds before making a move.

This is not a relieu, because in the NBA, this is a very normal tactical play.

Calculate the time, and when the Warriors finish this wave, the Lakers basically only have about 15 seconds left, and they will apply for a timeout after getting the ball, and then come back to send the frontcourt again. The premise is that you can block this wave of offense from the Warriors. If you are scored again, even if there are 20 seconds left, it will not help.

Only when you defend can you have a chance to keep the suspense of the game.

Tang Qian used his "angry state" to successfully expand his defense and interfere with Iguodala's shooting, but he went out, which meant that the Lakers' basket was empty. Jordan. Hill doesn't know if he's sleepwalking, it stands to reason that you can't grab offensive rebounds, and you can't grab defensive rebounds, right? You must know that looking at big data, defensive rebounds are 3~4 times better than offensive rebounds. But now Green is in much better shape than Hill, and his ambition is much stronger than Hill's. Green caught early.

This time the Warriors got a chance to win, Green was very calm, he immediately chose to pass the ball as soon as possible, and did not force a second shot under the basket. Because of this, the Warriors can calmly spend the remaining ten or so seconds.

Even if you get to the free throw line, it can drag on for a few more seconds.

But in the process of passing, the ball was intercepted by a long arm, and he was the Lakers' No. 29, Tang Qian.

"Please, Kobe, throw in." Tang Qian took the ball and passed it to No. 24, who was already running in front, the Warriors' "five small" lineup retreated at a speed that was indeed against the sky, and if Kobe Bryant went deep into the inside, he would definitely be chased and intercepted by a new round, and now ......

The Lakers are still trailing by 3-pointers, and 2-pointers are not enough.

Kobe Bryant in Klay. Under Thompson's defense, he finished thinking, outside the three-point line, stopped and shot.

Thompson also tried his best to block, but his physical fitness is really not enough for the super-peak Kobe.

Very ordinary, even very mediocre.

Basketball managed to get past Klay. Thompson, in a straight arc, drilled towards the Warriors' basket.

"Kobe. Bryant threw a difficult shot, which won't be too high, because Klay's defense is already in place, and Kobe Bryant ...... Kobe Bryant went in??? Kobe Bryant threw it in??? Oh, my God! The No. 24 made a difficult three-pointer!! With the exclamation of the Warriors' on-site commentator, Kobe Bryant landed, and the Warriors asked for a long timeout.

118-118, I didn't expect that in the last 9 seconds, the two sides could draw again, this regular season, the excitement can be seen.

I wonder if ESPN regrets not choosing this game to be broadcast all over the United States? The few games they commented on today all entered garbage time early, which was not intense and exciting at all.

"Sorry, coach, my fault, I didn't defend Kobe." Let's come to Clay. Thompson said dejectedly that he had scored 65 points on the 24th tonight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this score has been completely blown up. After all, the Warriors' No. 11 himself only scored 20 points. It seems like a lot, but it also depends on who you compare with and how many points you compare it with.

Kobe Bryant scored 2 and a half points by himself tonight, but the Lakers still almost lost, which shows the poor scoring ability of the rest of the Lakers. Tang Qian also scored 21 points tonight, playing a team like the Warriors who are not very good defensively, he can often get a piece of the pie and join in the fun. 21 points, which is also the second highest score of the Lakers after Kobe.

However, looking at the opposite side, the Lakers are overshadowed, the Warriors score very evenly, the highest is only Curry's 29 points, so far there are 5 people who have scored double-doubles in the game, which I don't know how much better than the Lakers. As we all know, the more people who score double-doubles, the more firepower the team has, the less concentrated it is, and the all-round blossom is often more powerful than the single-point explosion.

Kerr also admitted that he really underestimated his opponent and underestimated Kobe Bryant this season, and he felt that this season's Los Angeles No. 24, simply speaking of ability and condition, is no weaker than Jordan in the last three consecutive years, and even faintly overpowered. It felt like ...... Just like Chicago 23 suddenly became twenty or thirty years younger, the perfect combination of experience + body makes people chill.

But did you come here to lose? Amusing! I'm here to win!

Don't say it's Kobe. Bryant, even Michael. Jordan, so what? I'm going to win tonight too!

Kerr looked at the Warriors and said, "It's only when it's tied that there's drama and a sense of challenge, isn't it?" ”

"It's not interesting to win too easily, right?"

The Warriors didn't answer because no one knew how to respond.

"Next ball, let's finish them." Kerr took out the tactics board from behind and said, "Stephen, next ball, you're the first point of attack, oh, maybe the first Buzzer.beaters in your life." What do you think? Interested? Interested? After speaking, without waiting for Curry to answer, he said: "This is the tactic I will arrange next, the name is called the elevator door, the name is strange?" okay~ But that's not the point. Time is limited, so everyone will listen to me. ”

Cole slid quickly across the tactical board with his tactical pen and said, "This tactic is derived from Reggie. Miller's Pacers at their peak, the Pacers almost eliminated our Chicago back then, so this tactic is very good, but unfortunately the requirements for the team are too high, so it has not been carried forward. But I think that now we have the ability and energy to really break out this tactic. ”

"The first is to empty the inside, which means Green and Harrison. Barnes had to mention above the free throw line, and then Stephen held the ball on the top arc and passed to Green in the high post on the left, and after the pass, Green did not move, did the wall block, and Stephen went down. Cole said and pointed to Clay beside him. Thompson said: "You're in the bottom left corner, and when Stephen goes down, remember to move, move, you know?" Rubbing Stephen to the free throw line, one is to contain and the other is to make a feint, well, Stephen, you have to remember to go around from the free throw line at this time, and go back to the left three-point line to receive Green's pass. Mind you, here's the point, at this time Klay and Green have to remember to block people, whether you're a double screen or a double wall, and you have to block the defenders who are chasing Stephen. If something goes wrong, that's okay. Kerr quickly drew with a tactical pen while quickly explaining: "At this time, everyone is attracted to Stephen, you, Klay, you have to move aggressively, change the wall to the shooting point, quickly cut out from the free throw line, and go to the top arc to catch the ball." Stephen, you have to pass the ball quickly and you can't hesitate, you know? After the pass, Green and Barnes on the other side of the high post became the new double wall, going to close the door, going to double cover and blocking, understand? Let Clay have an open space to shoot a three-pointer, and let Clay not be disturbed! ”

"Probably this tactic just runs, do you understand?" After Cole finished speaking, the eyes of the warriors looked at him and changed slightly. Double cover and high post to do the wall, Mark. It's not that Jackson hasn't played, but the arrangement of the latter and the former is simply very different, the difference between a paper tiger and a real tiger. In addition, Cole's tactical scheme is very flexible, unlike Mark. Jackson is the same as so rigid, you block A, I still have B to execute, the former's tactical layout ability is a bit scary!

The more I look at the scribbled handwriting on that tactical board, the more frightening I become, the precise positioning, the precise intersperse, the precise blocking, if it can really be displayed, no one interferes with the three-point shot...... Both Curry and Thompson are pretty sure.

And once a three-point shot hits at such a critical juncture, it is twice as good as a two-point shot for the morale of the opponent.

As long as you enter, you win.

The more Curry looked at it and thought about it, the more he felt that the person in front of him was a bull man. Jackson is not a little bit awesome.

is also a marksman, Curry has a better resonance for Kerr than Mark. Jackson is a lot.

But there are still people who question that this person is actually Drummond. Green, but Green is not looking for trouble, he really wants to ask about this "loophole": "Sir, the tactics are very good, but what about rebounding?" What about rebounding? We've all come out to do the wall blocking, who's going to be in charge of the basket and the rebound? When Cole heard this, he smiled and said, "That's a good question, Drummond, well, if you have a chance, you can rush it, and if you don't have a chance, you can only give up." The so-called elevator door cover tactics are at the expense of rebounding. Why has it been unpopular in the NBA for so many years? Obviously the Pacers used it very early? That's why. Want to give up on offensive rebounding altogether? In the eyes of traditional coaches, this is simply a crooked way of demons and an absurd tactical play. ”

"Then you still ......" Green was surprised, he thought that Cole would have some good explanation and backup, but he didn't expect it to be such a statement.

Didn't you hurt Mr. Cole with this statement? My big mouth.

Don't wait for Greene to think about it, Steve. Kerr smiled and said, "Because I'm not a traditional manager." ”

"You're not a traditional team either."

"I think you have an opportunity to rewrite the entire NBA style of play and history."

"People can't do it, you can, I believe in Stephen, I believe in Clay, you are the same as Reggie in my eyes. Miller is a historic-level marksman who goes hand in hand. The Pacers can't go far because they only have one, and I have two, so why not try? Maybe you can all become the second sharpest shooter in NBA history. ”

"Second? So who is the first? "Clay. Thompson asked.

"First? Isn't the first right in front of you? Cole smiled: "Haha~ It's me~ So try to surpass,!" Let's go! Cole's remarks were of course a joke and a joke, although his three-point shot was not accurate, but he was only a fixed-point three-point shooter, far from the strong projection ability of the "Splash Brothers".

However, because of these words, Kerr cleansed a large part of the Warriors' nervousness about playing key shots.

This is also an ability, he saw the "Zen Master" Jackson used it countless times on the sidelines, which can be regarded as "drawing a scoop on the gourd".

But don't say it, Cole's eloquence is really good, worthy of a man who has been an ESPN TV commentator and TV commentator for many years.

Seeing that the Warriors still didn't replace the long, the Lakers felt a feeling of being despised and the Purple and Gold secretly vowed in their hearts to teach the arrogant "rookie coach" a profound lesson. The Warriors sent the ball to Curry, and then the tactics started to run.

Kobe Bryant frantically pursued Curry, this kind of intensity and pressure, if Curry played one-on-one with the ball as before, 50%~60% would be directly forced into a turnover. The physical gap means that Curry can't take advantage of any advantage in high-intensity confrontations, only disadvantages.

This is one of the reasons why Curry has never been able to dominate the regular season in the playoffs.

Even in the regular season, when it comes to this, the referee will not blow the whistle casually, and the players will solve the problem themselves.

So Kobe Bryant's defensive intensity was suddenly raised to the playoff level.

Under normal circumstances, if you do this in the regular season, seven or eight achievements will be whistled for fouls, but now it is a special situation, and the scale of the referee has naturally changed. Kobe Bryant has played in the NBA for so many years, and he is very familiar with this set. However, he was quickly blocked, and the Warriors' Green blocked him.

"Defend! Defend! Go to the Vault! Bryant yelled as he broke free after being blocked.

At the last minute, the Lakers players' concentration also rose, and they were replaced with Wesley. Johnson chased after Curry and followed.

But it was soon blocked by Thompson, who was moving over.

"I'm blocked! Substitution! Substitution defense! ”

So the third person went to pursue Curry, but at this time, the Warriors' Green and Thompson had formed an "elevator door" to block the Lakers' players' defenders tightly and leaklessly.

"Damn! Don't try to stop me so easily! Kobe Bryant shouted, using his super-peak body and strength to forcibly drill through the "crack in the door", and the sound of muscle collision made people's teeth hurt when they heard it.

But just before Kobe Bryant felt Curry, the Warriors' No. 30 smiled weirdly and said: "Black Mamba, you are really strong, but this ball, the Lakers are bound to lose, and we will win." ”

Bryant was stunned for a moment, and saw the orange basketball leave Curry's palm and fly to the top arc.
