Chapter 100: Daddy's Shark Slashing Tactics
After returning to the United States, what Davidson didn't expect was that in the face of the strong Magic team, the Nets won two consecutive games at the beginning and won both home games.
Davidson finally understood why Daddy had always been in control of the game before the game, and he was really sure to kill the Magic.
In the past few days, Davidson has nowhere to watch the game, so he naturally doesn't know what is happening on the field.
……
On May 27, the East Finals G3 began.
Davidson didn't even breathe a sigh of relief, and was taken to Orlando by his father.
G3 had begun, and Davidson sat on the sidelines watching the game carefully.
The Magic's strong roster is not only reflected in O'Neal and Penny Hardaway.
Cobra Grant, Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott are all pretty strong starters.
What future fans may not expect is that in the Magic system, the 201-year-tall penny Hardaway actually plays the point guard position......
There's also a point guard in the league right now, named Tim Hardaway.
Because they both play point guards, many fans will confuse these two.
……
The Magic kicked off, and Penny Hardaway took up Kenny Anderson and controlled the ball to the frontcourt.
After arriving in the frontcourt, Jalen Rose immediately switched defenses with Kenny Anderson, after all, with Anderson's head, defending Penny Hardaway, who is 201 tall, is really too much of a loss.
Kenny Anderson switched to defend Nick Anderson, and the two Andersons were in the opposite position.
Perhaps the first two games saw Jalen Rose's tough defense, Hardaway didn't shoot himself and hoisted the ball to O'Neal under the basket.
Murraysan stood right behind O'Neal, and Davidson watched the two men's hand-to-hand combat with wide eyes.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, I'm afraid no one would have believed that Muresan actually resisted O'Neal's first wave of shock!
O'Neal's first wave of impact was definitely a nightmare for other centers, and countless centers were knocked back by this wave of impact, and then O'Neal got the opportunity to dunk easily under the basket.
But Murraysan stood firm as if he had taken root under his feet, raising his arms high, and not giving O'Neill a chance to make a move.
Davidson knew in his heart that this was probably the effect of Muressan's crazy weight gain.
Since it can resist O'Neill's impact, then everything is easy to say.
The terrible thing about O'Neal's basket is that in a one-on-one situation, no one can stand up to him.
couldn't stand the end, naturally he was dunked by O'Neal and scored!
If you want to defend, it's not completely impossible, for example, two interior players teamed up to defend O'Neal.
But once the inside line joins forces, there will inevitably be an open space, and O'Neal's teammates can easily make a shot.
Even sometimes, the two inside linemen may not be able to carry O'Neal, and it is not that there has been a shocking scene of O'Neal with two violent buckles.
It is amazing that Murraysan is now alone, with a huge tonnage and excellent static power, to withstand O'Neal's onslaught alone.
Davidson is sure that after this round of the series, Muresan will definitely become famous!
A center forward who can resist O'Neal is worth too much.
As the three centers get older and their form gradually declines, everyone knows that the league will be O'Neal's world in the future.
Now that Muresan has resisted the future overlord O'Neill, you can imagine his value!
The key is that Muresan is still so young, and he is only a sophomore this year......
Davidson felt that if he guessed correctly, Murraysan had definitely made a difference in the first two games.
O'Neill couldn't get in, so he turned sideways and used his own trick to hook Mulesan.
That's the terrible thing about this fat man.
The strong play under the basket is extremely powerful, even if he can't hit it strongly, he still has a precise little hook hand.
Unfortunately, the little hook didn't hit, and Murraysan turned to grab the rebound and transfer the ball to Coleman.
It was the Nets' turn to attack, and after Kenny Anderson crossed the halfcourt line, he began to pace slowly, waiting for Muresan to rush to the frontcourt.
After Muresan dropped the basket, the Nets' offense really began.
O'Neal's face was pale, and after the first two games, he was almost driven crazy by the pace of the game set by Chuck Daley.
In the Nets' offensive round, if they quickly make a basket and drop the position, then the Nets will control the rhythm and wait for Muresan's arrival.
O'Neal naturally didn't want to run to the backcourt basket in such a hurry, after all, running would consume physical energy.
If you don't run and follow Muraysan to sway back to defense, the Nets will directly attack quickly, and the frontcourt will play four or four!
Especially Coleman, although Cobra Grant is good, he is not Coleman's opponent at all......
If O'Neal is fast, the Nets will be slow, and if O'Neal is slow, the Nets will be fast.
With this kind of deadly rhythm, O'Neal was tortured in the first two games.
And that's not the hardest thing for him......
……
Soon played eight minutes in the first quarter, and Murraysan was obviously tired enough, and the hand-to-hand fight with O'Neal's basket consumed quite a lot of physical energy, not to mention that Murraysan's physical fitness was not particularly good.
On the other hand, O'Neill is still alive and well, this monster is really a little incomprehensible, it stands to reason that he fights such a fierce confrontation with such a tonnage, and the physical consumption will definitely not last long, but O'Neill can hold on.
Chuck Daly didn't call a timeout, taking advantage of the dead-ball stage, he replaced Muraysan with substitute center Benjamin.
O'Neill's face froze, and the time he feared most had come.
To be precise, it's not worry, it's disgusting......
In the offensive round of the Magic, O'Neal received the ball and was about to crash away from Benjamin, only to see Benjamin pounce directly on O'Neal.
The referee's whistle naturally sounded as well.
Davidson nodded, looking at the game on the court, he knew more and more why the Magic had lost the first two games.
The reason may have been O'Neal's free throws.
Daddy used a shark-slashing tactic against O'Neal.
The shark hacking tactic is definitely not a rare thing, as early as the Chamberlain era, there were teams that sacrificed this trick to cut Chamberlain, the reason is naturally Chamberlain's low free throw shooting rate.
After Chamberlain, this slashing tactic was not used, and Davidson also heard his father talk about it, so he knew that there was such a strange tactic.
It wasn't until O'Neal came out in the NCAA that this slashing tactic came back to the fore.
When O'Neal was playing in the NCAA, some opponents used shark slashing tactics against him......
The reason why Dad was full of confidence before the game is probably the biggest reliance on this shark cutting tactic.
Of course, in addition to the shark cutting tactics, the change of defense and the change of rhythm on the field are also the magic weapon of Dad.
Davidson's admiration for his father rose in his heart.
Daddy is definitely the kind of pragmatic coach who can formulate the most appropriate pragmatic response according to the opponent's situation.
In the late eighties, when he was fighting the Bulls, Dad came up with Jordan's rule because Jordan was too strong.
Now playing magic, and because O'Neal is too strong, he uses shark slashing tactics.
