In the NBA, in addition to superstars, there are also coaches' tactics that can determine the outcome of a game. Is the Heat's Big Three strong? But that year they all lost, one to the civilian Five Tiger Pistons, and the other to the classic car Mavericks.

The reason why they lost was not because they didn't have enough strength, no matter how they said that the OK combination won three consecutive championships, and then added Karl Malone and Payton, such a combination is a rare strong team in history.

Not to mention the first year of the formation of the Heat Big Three, Wade, LeBron and Bosh are all at their peak, two of the top 20 in history plus one who later fell ill and had no ball to play, otherwise he is also a superstar in the top 70 in history, such a configuration can be said to be the strongest Big 3 in history.

But in the end, it was defeated, and where was the defeat? The defeat was in terms of tactics and the role of the team's players.

Of course, it is precisely because the NBA is not only a contest of players, so it will be full of so many variables, such as lore, black eight miracles, reversals, all of which can be seen everywhere, and they are all tactical battles between coaches.

Among the many tactics, there is one tactic that has received the most criticism, almost to the point where fans dislike it so much, and coaches hate it so much that they want to use it at some point or so.

The name of the tactic is the slashing tactic, and at its peak, the name of this tactic may be known to the most people, called the slashing shark tactic, which is a tactic invented by the former Mavericks head coach mad scientist Nelson Sr., of course, the first person to use this tactic is definitely not him, because as early as ancient times, there were coaches who used this tactic against Chamberlain, at that time it was called chopping tactics, and after the sharks, there were also chopping tactics and chopping Joe tactics, as long as it was a player with a low free throw shooting rate, it was possible to use this set of tactics.

The principle of the tactic is to gain possession by fouling a player who doesn't have a high percentage of free throws, forcing him to score one point or no points, while also disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Old Nelson made this tactic known to the world, because he used this tactic on O'Neal the shark, and it was the only way to restrain O'Neill at the time.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Nelson Sr. is called a mad scientist is because his basketball concept was ahead of his time, and the running and shooting was the result of his experimentation, in addition, letting Manut Bol, who is more than 2.3 tall, shoot three-pointers, and let small forwards control the ball, these basketball phenomena that have become commonplace nowadays, are also the first to be experimented with, and the concept of basketball with ambiguous positions has exceeded the era for about ten years.

At the same time, until he stepped down from the head coach position, he ranked first among all coaches in terms of wins.

The shark-slashing tactic was impressive when it was introduced, and the most interesting thing was that it reached its peak in the 2006 Eastern Conference Finals game between the Pistons and the Heat, as both teams used the slashing tactic at the same time.

The Detroit Pistons fouled O'Neal, while the Heat fouled Big Ben in a game called the Bell Smashing Tactic.

The entire series was shattered by a constant flow of foul free throws.

Since then, the slashing tactic has been subject to more and more controversy, and finally caught the attention of the league after the Spurs' Popovich repeatedly used it against players with poor free throws from different teams.

Because once this tactic is used, the game will suddenly become boring.

In order to rectify this situation, the league has introduced a set of rules that allow teams that deliberately foul players without the ball in the final two minutes of the game and in overtime can get one free throw and one throw. The time limit then continued to spread, from the last two minutes of the last quarter to the last two minutes of each session.

Originally, the core concept of the shark cutting tactic was to get the ball quickly, but the introduction of the new rules completely shattered this idea, and no manager was willing to use the shark cutting tactic anymore.

But today, in the Bulls vs. Thunder game, Hojberg used it again, and he used it very cleverly, with three minutes left, that is, he still has one minute to use this tactic.

The goal is also clear, and that is the Thunder's starting point guard, Robertson.

This guy is also a novelty among defensive players, no matter what others say, even if nothing works, he can have a little bit of offensive means.

But Robertson is good, it doesn't matter if he breaks through, three-pointers, and mid-range shots, but even the free throws are miserable, and the shooting percentage is not as high as O'Neal's, only 42.3 percent in the regular season last season, and only 14.3 percent in the playoffs.

Have you ever seen a free throw shooting percentage that no one else scores high?

Robertson is.

And such a player, don't you just have four big characters written on your face? Come and cut me!

"No wonder Valentine came up!" Li Ming can be regarded as figuring out Hoiberg's thoughts.

With both free throws missing, Robertson didn't let Hojberg down, walking back to defend with his head down, his face was bad, because he probably expected what his end would be.

The Bulls attacked, a patient combination, and Mirotic scored the ball inside.

Valentine then continued to foul.

After about three rounds like this, the Bulls gradually chased the difference to three points, and the audience booed, and they were naturally booing Hojberg's shamelessness.

After the boos, Hojberg replaced Li Ming off the court, because it was already the last two minutes of the first quarter, and it was not interesting to use slashing tactics again, so it was better to defend step by step.

It also happened to allow Li Ming to take a break.

On the Thunder's side, Paul George and Westbrook also went down to rest, leaving only Anthony on the court, and Anthony was much more comfortable at the small forward position again, his offensive skills are actually one of the most abundant offensive masters in the league, and putting him in the low post is really a bit restrictive, and it also makes him uncomfortable.

So he missed all three shots before, and after regaining control of the ball, he shook off Portis by dribbling and made a solid jumper to score the ball.

His style of play should be more gorgeous in the league, and when he was still in the Nuggets, he and Iverson formed the golden double gun, which was definitely the most gorgeous combination in the league at that time.

And Anthony, who got up early, was not as round as he is now, and he is also a master who can fly away.

What a pity! Self-control is not as good as LeBron's, and he suffered injuries at his peak, and there are no particularly high honors until now.

At that time, he and LeBron were called peerless and proud, and the talent was conceivable, but gradually, the wind blew them farther and farther away。。。。。。
