Chapter 25: Shark Slashing Tactics
Hougist deliberately glanced at Parker's feet, and found that Parker was standing in the reasonable collision zone, so he rushed forward with all his strength, Parker did not jump according to the coach's instructions, and Hoggist jumped high, his knee was exactly at the height of Parker's abdomen, and the two made intimate low contact to knock Parker to the ground, and Hougist slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand in the air.
Parker fell to the ground holding his stomach, Haugerist hurriedly stepped forward and leaned over to check Parker's condition, the referee did not say anything, which made Coach Simmons extremely angry on the sidelines, thunderous, and scolding, "MotherFxxKer, this is a foul, are you blind?" ”
The referee decisively blew for a technical foul on Coach Simmons and awarded the Spartans two free throws and one throw.
"Are you alright? Can you get up? Hougist leaned over Parker's ear and asked.
"It's okay, I can get up by myself. Dude, you're very heavy! Parker smiled wryly.
"For the sake of you being injured by me, I kindly remind you, don't stand in that semi-circular arc next time, it's a reasonable collision area, you stand so straight, if you are outside the line, I will foul!" Isn't it true that your coach hasn't taught you that? ”
"You're quite sincere, and you can tell so much truth to your opponent." Parker got up and moved his limbs to make sure he was okay.
"It's a pity that you can't play at your height, with your height, as long as you can practice skills like Devon's, it's enough to occupy a starting position, and I hope you can get into the starting line when you play next semester." Hougist gave him a friendly high-five.
Hoggist stepped to the free-throw line and hit two free throws. The Spartans went on the offensive. Since Parker can only defend the basket, Hoggist can safely block and dismantle.
This time Thompson rushed to bypass Devin's cover and followed Haugist, Hougist burst to the inside, Parker blocked in front, Thompson intercepted later, Hougist returned the ball to Devin in the high post, Devin was unmarked, hesitated for a second, adjusted for a second, aimed for another second, threw a mid-range shot, and stuck firmly on the neck of the basket.
"Beep!" A crisp whistle sounds, the referee decides a violation, and both sides jump the ball. The Tornado naturally sent Parker, Devin wanted to go up to jump the ball, and Horgist motioned for him to go back to his own half to prevent the opponent from stealing, and let Randolph go to jump the ball.
Randolph lived up to the hype, jumping up and stroking the air with a wave of his hand. As for the ball, it had already been allocated to Lisiad by Parker.
Lichiad took the ball and went straight to the basket, scoring the ball and causing a foul on Devin. Hoggist ran to the baseline and pulled up Devin, and whispered, "Big brother, I let you go back to defense is to let you guard the basket, I just told the Parker on the opposite side that you have to stand outside the arc of the reasonable collision zone to make an offensive foul, why do you make the same mistake?" ”
"I'm standing outside the line, mainly because I feel like I can cover him, so I press down on my arm." Devin explained.
"Okay, next time, be careful not to make such a low-level mistake." Hoggist instructed. Devin listened and nodded frequently.
Lichiad made a free throw, watched him grind at the free throw line for a long time, and finally threw the ball out with his non-dominant left hand, Horgist didn't have time to wonder, and quickly rushed to the three-point line to grab the rebound. It turned out that Lisiad knew that there was an absolute height advantage in the team, so he planned to make free throws to grab rebounds to attack for the second time, but he was afraid that he would be blown for a free throw violation if he deliberately missed the free throw, so he racked his brains to come up with the idea of using a non-dominant hand to make free throws.
Sure enough, the ball bounced off and was easily picked up by Parker, who was given to the outside Lichiad to organize a second attack. The Spartans had a hunch when they saw Parker play in the second half, and the backcourt rebounds might be blown up in the second half. Although Hougist also had special training on Devin's rebounding ability, Devin still couldn't take advantage of Parker's absolute height advantage.
Lichiad dribbled, Parker had no offensive ability, and his basic skills were not solid, Lichiade didn't dare to call him up to cover, so he could only let Griffin come out to cover, and use Griffin to cover to break through to the inside, Joseph and Randolph decisively changed defenses, Lichiad broke through and was covered by Randolph, and returned the ball to Griffin at the top of the arc, Griffin missed the shot, and the rebound was pulled out by Parker, and Lichiad, who retreated to outside the three-point line, picked up the ball and shot a three-point shot while no one was marking. At 64:60, the Tornadoes closed the margin to four points.
After a few rounds like this, Hougist bullied Parker on the offensive end and couldn't defend it, and used the block to get open shooting opportunities and frequently succeeded; On the defensive end, although the Tornadoes' shooting percentage is not high, Parker can always easily pull out the frontcourt rebounds on the interior and get a second offensive opportunity. So the Tornado team still bit the score very tightly.
You can't miss a rebound like this, you have to think of a way, Joseph dribbled and ran to the court, and Hougist followed slowly, trying to figure out how to solve it.
"Don't get distracted! Catch the ball! Joseph woke up Haugist. Hougist looked up and saw that Joseph's pass had come in front of him, and he had no time to react, and the ball smashed and bounced off Hogist. Parker had just crossed the center circle when the ball fell right at Parker's feet, who picked it up and staggered to the basket with the ball lamely.
Hoggist hurried to make up for his mistake, and finally slapped the horse when Parker jumped up to dunk, trying to jump up and press the ball to the rebound from behind, and the audience stood up and was about to cheer, but the referee's shrill whistle sounded at an inopportune time.
"Spartan No. 0 hitman foul!" The referee gestures to the technical table.
For a while, the stadium was boiling. Hoggist shook his head helplessly, he had tried his best to catch up on the ball, but it was still half a step too late.
"Why are you distracted on the field?" Joseph came back and asked.
"The backcourt rebounds are exploded like this, but you're not in a hurry!" Hoghist shook his head helplessly, "You're not in a hurry, don't you have to think of a way." ”
"Then have you figured out a way?" Joseph asked.
"I thought about it for a long time, and I was smashed back by you with a ball!" Hougist said angrily.
Richard. Parker walked to the free-throw line, but with a grimacing expression. Hoggist felt inexplicable, was the penalty so painful? Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind, could it be ......?
Parker trembled and lifted the ball above his head, like a young Parkinson's patient, and aimed for a long time before throwing the ball, the ball slammed into the rebound and flew back at a faster speed, Parker twisted his waist to dodge the bounced ball. patted his heaving chest, looking frightened. Parker's actions caused the crowd to burst into laughter, and it was basically the first time that everyone had seen a player with a free throw so bad.
Really? Haugist's thoughts were vaguely answered. But Hoggist wasn't in a hurry and decided to wait for Parker's next free throw.
Parker's second free throw was concocted in the same way, trembling and raising the ball above his head, like a young Parkinson's patient, aiming for a long time before throwing the ball, the arc of the ball was obviously short, and it flew directly out of the bottom line. Parker, on the other hand, looked relieved as if he had been relieved.
Hoggist nodded secretly, it seemed to be the same as he thought! Instead of letting Randolph kick off, Hoggist asked the referee for a timeout.
Hougist called his teammates back to the bench, and Coach Dick was also confused, and stepped forward to ask, "Why is it called a timeout?" What happened? Are you hurt? ”
"Coach, don't you worry about backcourt rebounds being blown up?" Hougist asked Coach Dick rhetorically.
"Of course I'm not worried!" Coach Dick said.
"Huh?" Hoggist was stunned when he heard this, "Not worried? Do you have a solution? ”
"No, I didn't think about it, let's attack so sharp, just fight against him, isn't this always the score ahead!" Coach Dick said.
"......" Haugist was speechless.
"Okay, if you figure it out, tell everyone about it!" Coach Dick said.
“Hack-a-Shaq!” Hoggist said the plan he had in mind.
"Shark slashing tactics, you say?" Coach Dick asked.
"Yes, I'm sure you've all seen it, the opposing center, Richard. Parker's free throws suck, and 'sharking' him is definitely a good idea. As far as his free throw level is concerned, as long as we are in a good position and don't let him grab the rebound that the free throw does not score, it will definitely take a few rounds to open the point difference, as long as the point difference is stretched to more than 10 points, I don't believe that the opposing coach is not in a hurry, and he will not change the line. Haugist clarified his thoughts.
"Makes sense! You're so much better than Coach Dick! You're the master tactician of Cimaren! After listening to Hoggist's analysis, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
"So later, we need to be on the bench to be responsible for fouls, and at least two people must be stuck in Parker when he makes free throws, don't let him get the rebounds easily, and I'll grab the rebounds!" Hoggist began to lay out the specific implementation plan.
"Are you going to play the number three position instead?" Justin asked.
"No, I'm rushing from beyond the three-point line to grab rebounds, and as long as you can block Parker's absolute high point, I should be able to deal with the others." Haugist said confidently.
"So who's responsible for fouls?"
"When Parker makes free throws, we need more tall men to get stuck under the basket, Justin you go off the court first, Larry comes on the court to play power forward, Randolph you go to play small forward, so it's easier to stop Parker when you make free throws. Larry, the foul is up to you, kick off the ball and immediately foul, don't hesitate to know? "Hoggist has a new tactic.
Larry. Williams nodded in agreement, "Understood." ”
When the timeout came, the Spartans applied to the technical desk for substitutions, and the audience and Tornado players were stunned when they saw the new lineup on the Spartans, what kind of lineup is this? Three big men on the court with two guards? Is this going to fight the Tornado team to the inside?
Before everyone could fly the wings of their imagination and fully open their minds and diverge their thinking, the Spartans gave the answer with practical actions. After Hoggist took advantage of Devin's block to hit another open mid-range pullup jumper, the shark slashing tactics were officially implemented.
As soon as the Tornado sent the ball out, Larry hugged Parker and took the initiative to signal to the referee that he had committed a foul, and the Spartans had enough fouls in the third quarter, so the foul would be a free throw. Parker stood at the free throw line again with a sad face, and sure enough, he missed two free throws, and the second free throw smashed high on the neck of the basket, and Parker wanted to go up again to grab the rebound, but Larry and Randolph teamed up to keep Parker out of the free throw line.
Under the basket Devin and Griffin are entangled, while Tornado's small forward Allan Brown. Stone was unguarded and felt that his chance had come, and at that moment he seemed to be possessed by the souls of Rodman and Barkley, and he jumped high to collect the rebound, but a black shadow came with a gale. Hoggist rushed to the basket from beyond the three-point line and took to the air to pick up the rebound before Stone.
Hoggist grabbed the rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt. Because the Tornado wanted to have Parker's rebounds to ensure that they could also play a second offense, no one stayed in the rear, only Lichiad stood near the center circle, saw Hougist take off the rebound and hurriedly retreated, Hougist got the rebound and quickly advanced, Joseph also went down quickly from the other side, and the front court formed a 2-on-1.
When Hoggist dribbled to the free throw line, Lichiad was already in position outside the reasonable collision zone and was ready to make an offensive foul, and Hoggist pretended to pass the ball to Joseph diagonally to the basket. Lisiad hurriedly turned around to pounce on Joseph, but the door to the middle was opened, and Horgist did not pass the ball, but went directly to the basket with three steps, and scored with his fingers plucking the ball.
“Yeah!” The crowd cheered, with James II being the happiest.
As soon as the Tornado kicked off the ball, Larry hugged Parker as usual and applied for a foul, Parker's face was full of helplessness, he was already serious about the free throws, but unfortunately he still missed two free throws, and Hougist still beat Allan. Stone picked up the rebound, dribbled quickly, and Joseph still followed up from the other side, this time Lichiad and Thompson both retreated to the halfcourt, Thompson sideways to defend Hougist, and also used his body to give Hougist some pressure.
Seeing that Joseph was also killed by Liciade, Hougist directly shook off Thompson and hit a layup with a low hand. The score came to 78:70, seeing that the opposing Simmons coach had no intention of substitution, Larry continued to foul, and this time Parker's first goal was actually scored, or a crisp hollow ball. Parker scored a rare free throw, happy as a 220-pound kid.
However, the excitement didn't last long, as Parker hit another shot from the second free throw, allowing Hoggist to grab the rebound.
