Chapter 157: The Gradually Expanding Backward Situation

The two Muba were still stationed under the basket even when Longley mentioned high positions.

This is naturally Davidson's arrangement.

Davidson has studied the bull system for a long time, and with the discussion with his father, he has also summarized some small details for the bull.

For example, against Pippen, the Bulls' No. 2 offensive point, Davidson figured out the current style of play.

The two Muba gave up on Longley and then guarded the basket, making Pippen unable to score points under the basket, which basically made Pippen waste half of his offensive firepower.

Other teams may not be able to achieve such good results, mainly the king's Muba twin towers, which are too big, and a pestle to the basket can be described as covering the sky.

Pippen's offensive firepower was half gone, which was naturally a good thing for the king.

But Davidson also knows very well that an old fox like Zen master Jackson will definitely not watch the team's No. 2 offensive point blocked, and he will definitely come up with a solution.

In fact, the solution was not difficult at all, and Davidson could imagine what Zen Master Jackson would do next.

In the next offensive round of the Kings, Richmond did not make any more strong shots, but handed the ball to Battle.

Battle also held the ball away from the basket as much as possible, naturally in order to attract Rodman's defense, keep him away from the restricted area, and let Murraysan better fight for rebounds.

"Huh!" Defended by Rodman, Battle hit a long-range shot.

Rodman's defense is naturally quite tough, but in the face of Battle's offensive style, he has almost no possibility of blocking Battle's shot.

The current situation on the court, Davidson is acceptable, at least the king has not fallen into any disadvantage.

"Doot toot!" The bull called a timeout.

The Zen master also obviously lost patience, and the three minutes of the game were tied at 6:6.

Neither side was very efficient in attack.

On the Bulls' side, Pippen couldn't score points under the basket, and all six points were scored by Jordan's mid-range shot.

On the Kings' side, Richmond scored two points and Battle scored four.

Richmond was 1-of-3 and Battle was 2-of-4, and neither of them was very efficient offensively.

Battle's 50% shooting percentage looks good, but in fact, he is not so easy to play now.

Rodman, seeing that he couldn't block Battle head-on, had already used some small tricks that he used on the defensive end.

In the two seasons from 89 to 91, Rodman won two DPOy in a row, not relying on any block data.

If you look at the defensive stats alone, Rodman may be the most shabby DPO in the entire NBA history, and he has never averaged more than one block per game in his career.

Averaging 07 steals and 06 blocks per game, it is not an exaggeration to say that a large number of players can be found in the league, and the defensive statistics are better than Rodman.

But Rodman can still dpoy two consecutive villages, relying on all kinds of small actions, it doesn't matter if he can't get steal data and block data, he just needs to make the opponent unable to score.

To say that Rodman's defense is dirty, this is not enough, at least not as dirty as his senior brother Lambier and second senior brother Ma Hong.

But Rodman is by no means the White Lotus type of player.

As long as he can limit the opponent's scoring, Rodman doesn't mind making some dangerous little moves.

In addition to small gestures, trash talk is also Rodman's forte.

Battle is quite uncomfortable playing right now, and trash talk has no effect on him, because Rodman says some of the more tongue-twisting trash talk, and Battle doesn't understand it at all.

What gave Battle a headache was Rodman's small movements, not long after the game began, his back was already bruised by Rodman.

The key is that Battle can't solve this problem, his main offensive means is to catch the ball and hit the opponent with his back, and he always has to turn his back to the opponent......

"That guy is so annoying, if he goes on like this, I feel like I'm going to beat him up!" Battle said speechlessly at Davidson during the timeout.

Davidson laughed, he knew Rodman all too well.

When Rodman first entered the league, Davidson not only watched him play, but also watched a lot of his daily training, so he was naturally no stranger to Rodman's defensive style.

"Bus, do you still need me to say the principle of-for-tat? He can make small moves, don't you? ”

"Just say hello for small actions, don't worry, the referee knows Rodman too well, and the referee will definitely turn a blind eye to Rodman's small actions." Davidson said with a smile.

Battle nodded, and decided to give Rodman a little color when he got back on the field later.

……

After calling a timeout, the Zen master laid out the team's defensive strategy, and then replaced Longley with Kukoc on the bench.

The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the field.

Seeing the Zen master's change of formation, Davidson knew that the Zen master had found a way to free Pippen's offensive firepower.

Longley's attack can be ignored by the King's side, but Kukoc's attack must not be ignored.

It's fair to say that Kukoc's offensive threat is actually bigger than Pippen's.

The projection ability is not at all comparable to Pippen or Longley, and if you want to say who has the better projection ability among the big men in the league today, Kukoc will definitely be in the top three.

In addition to his subtle projection ability, Kukoc's nickname is Balkan Magician or Europa Magician, which is enough to see that this guy has good organizational skills.

This is a 211-height player who can play five positions on the court, and if he is not athletic, he will definitely become a first-line star in the league.

Now that Kukoc is on the floor, Battle has to come out and defend Kukoc, and he can't stand on the basket like he did with Longley.

There can only be one Muresan under the basket, and Pippen will naturally get more opportunities to rush to the basket.

Davidson had expected Zen master Jackson to use the inside combination of Kukoc and Rodman to break the game.

The game restarted, and what Davidson didn't expect was that it might be that the Zen master wanted Jordan to devote more energy to the offensive end, so after the game started, it was Harper who was responsible for defending Richmond.

Don't look at Harper as the No. 1 position, but he is 198 cm tall, and sometimes he can defend the No. 3 player, and there is naturally no problem in defending Richmond.

In the Bulls' system, Harper is definitely the most inconspicuous player, but his importance is self-evident, and many times the Bulls need him to defend the opponent's backcourt and share the pressure for Jordan.

……

Davidson's brow furrowed, and after the game restarted, the Kings were already gradually falling behind.

And this backward situation is gradually expanding.
