Chapter 259: Temporary Change of Formation

Gloria said disdainfully: "I'm just giving you a piece of advice, with the current lineup of the Knicks, giving the ball to Anthony is your only chance!" ”

Fisher didn't think about it, and he felt that Phil Jackson was too conservative in his tactics, but his several suggestions to Phil were ruthlessly rejected. and he is like Phil. The puppet that Jackson put on the coach's bench has no room to play on his own.

Fisher lay in bed tossing and turning all night, the same defender retired to become a coach, he has been thrown too far by Kidd, maybe now he can barely keep his position by obeying Phil's instructions, but if he really loses too much, he will still be ruthlessly abandoned by Phil as a scapegoat, right?

Whether it's Lara's idea or Gloria's own idea, that point of view is certainly not wrong, and now the Knicks need not a triangle offense but to maximize the power of the lineup, and they always have to make some memorable results.

But Phil. Jackson was always sitting in the seventh position in the third row behind the bench, watching everyone's every move with compassion, and we couldn't have blatantly started a new thing under his nose! Fisher finally made up his mind, but began to worry about how to act.

It wasn't until more than 4 o'clock in the morning that Fisher fell asleep groggy, and was woken up by the phone as soon as he fell asleep, and Fisher wanted to curse, but it was Phil on the other end of the phone. Jackson! After adjusting his mentality, Fisher asked respectfully, "Boss, what instructions do you have?" ”

"It's always weird to play the Lakers again, right?" Phil. Jackson was uncharacteristically reminded of Fisher's old stories.

But Fisher didn't trust Phil. Jackson would have chosen this time to be simply nostalgic, but in spite of this, Fisher had to echo the words, "Yes! Especially if you want to face Kobe Bryant, thinking of the good times when you won the championship together, you can't help but sigh in your heart. ”

Sure enough, I just chatted with Phil. Jackson cut to the chase, "So I'm not going to watch this game live, you just follow my playbook!" I am going to take this opportunity to go to Stanford University Hospital in the next two days to check my prostate cancer control. ”

Fisher almost couldn't believe his ears, and after repeatedly confirming the schedule with Phil, he was completely sleepy, and jumped up from the bed excitedly.

Fisher is not at all worried that the players will not be comfortable with changing their style of play at the moment, because sometimes it is a hundred times better to let players play freely on the field than to stick to the wrong style of play!

Fisher, who had switched to closed training in the morning, refused to be interviewed by all reporters, who were very cautious at this time, for fear that these reporters would have Phil's eyes.

The Knicks' players were excited about Fisher's sudden change of tactics, and there was really no one else who could talk about a talented player except for the three starting frontcourts. It was too difficult for them to understand and fit into the triangle attacking system.

Because of this, although Anthony and Porzingis were able to understand the concept of the triangle attack, they could not cooperate with their teammates, which seriously affected their "user experience" of the triangle attack in the long run, and gradually they also abandoned the great tactical concept of winning 11 championships in 20 years.

With all the players responding positively to the new low-post tactics, one might wonder why they would embrace the move despite weakening the ball from the two backcourt players. The reason is very simple, Calderon and Vujacic are self-aware people, they know how much they can do, they only have the ability to make tires, and it is really difficult for them to be engines and gearboxes, and if they don't do well, they feel uncomfortable, not to mention, they have to be counted by fans. Now let them go back to what they are good at and contribute to the team, and they will gladly accept it.

In the evening, Madison Square Garden was crowded, and Big Apple fans flocked to catch a glimpse of the top pick the Knicks missed. During the pre-game warm-up shot, Kobe Bryant sat on the technical table and caught up with Fisher and Vujasic, and the three of them talked and laughed, which couldn't help but remind people of the glory days of Kobe Bryant's peak years ago.

Hougist quietly asked Jeremy Lin, "Aren't you going to catch up with your old teammates?" ”

Jeremy Lin shook his head, "How can there be any old teammates?" Do you want me to talk to Jose about him when I was at the Knicks? ”

"It seems that your relationship is really as bad as the legend suggests? Is it because of racial discrimination? Hoggist asked gossipingly.

"Don't mention the past! Why do you care about that? It's you, the average triple-double data is gone, aren't you going to break out today? Jeremy Lin took the initiative to change the subject.

"Me? I want to break out every game, but today for the first time against an attacking striker like Antony, I'm not sure if I can limit him, and I can't guarantee the attack. Although Haugist has an idea in his heart, he still has to be modest, his current purpose is not to brag about unprepared.

At the start of the game, Porzingis easily won the jump ball, Calderon dribbled to the front court and gave the ball to Anthony in the low post, yes, Anthony was going to hit the back in the low post as soon as he came up.

Hougist struggled to hold off Anthony, who weighed more than 41 pounds (19 kilograms) than Wiggins, who had previously played against him. By the weight class of professional boxing, Wiggins and Anthony are at least four weight classes behind, and even the team's power center, Myles Turner, is just under 9 pounds (4 kilograms) heavier than Anthony.

Speaking of which, Hoggist has been working on strength since high school, but now he is only 220 pounds (100 kilograms). Maybe Anthony's body that can grow flesh can be regarded as a talent!

Anthony dribbled twice with his back, easily pushed away Horgist, and then rolled over to create an almost complete open shot, and Anthony didn't hesitate to jump and hit the opening two points.

Anthony, who was full of ambition, ran back to the backcourt with his hands outstretched, and his smug eyes seemed to announce, "This Hougist is not as powerful as the legend!" ”

This look is clear, but he still needs a while to figure out Anthony's offensive habits, and the video of Anthony's offensive habits provided by Outlow before the game does not seem to be accurate, at least Anthony's opening single is not the focus of the information.

But on the defensive end I don't fit in with you, can you adapt to me on the offensive end? Hoggist also has his own pride in his heart, he dribbles to the frontcourt, but he doesn't want Anthony to start pressing defense on the outside, and he doesn't have the slightest fear of being passed by Hoggist.

But on the defensive end I don't fit in with you, can you adapt to me on the offensive end? Hoggist also has his own pride in his heart, he dribbles to the frontcourt, but he doesn't want Anthony to start pressing defense on the outside, and he doesn't have the slightest fear of being passed by Hoggist.

This is to send me to the inside line to be hatted! Hougist saw through Anthony's mind at a glance, Anthony defended so tightly that he was the easiest to be blocked by the screener, and Hougist made up his mind to be a blocking and dismantling cover without much thought. As for who to choose to block and dismantle, it is better to decide, obviously Robin. Lopez's defensive range was nowhere near as good as Porzingis', so Haugist gave Turner a small look.

The understanding Turna came up to cover for Hoogist, who cut through the cover and shook off Anthony, and quickly shot a three-pointer and colored, all of which were done in one go, which was pleasing to the eye, and even discerning New York fans couldn't help but sigh.

Back on the offensive end, the Society plan to continue to teach Hoggist with a tough face-frame jumper. Anthony was a three-man threat with the ball and was constantly shaking, but Hougist's good defensive habits kept him unfazed. Anthony had no choice but to arch his head and open the space for Hoggist. Perhaps because of his heavy weight, Anthony prefers to jump up and shoot with his back or from the frame, rather than leaning back like Jordan, Kobe, Nowitzki and other backs. Although he mostly shoots upright, Anthony is rarely blocked, because he is not only fast at receiving and lifting the ball, but also his shot is very high.

This time, Anthony, as usual, arched the space and got up directly to shoot. But he miscalculated the strength of Hoggist, and Anthony slapped the ball on the ball before Anthony could throw it, so Anthony held the ball and fell back to the ground. At this time, Hoggist's other hand also reached over to snatch the ball, Anthony naturally refused to give in, and there was a wonderful scene of the two fighting for the ball in the third round at the beginning. It's really not exciting to usually see the scrum, but today is different, Anthony relied on his brute strength and threw Hoggist out directly, Hougist took a few steps back and sat on the on-site commentary seat on the sidelines, but although the long legs were blocked by the commentary seat, the upper body continued to fall backwards due to inertia, so Haugist fell into the commentary seat one by one.

The audience at the scene looked stupid, thinking to themselves, where did Anthony get such divine power to throw his opponent away? If you have this ability, you can't even enter the playoffs, and there is no one! And Hoggist got out from under the commentary table and picked up Reggie, who had been knocked to the ground by himself. Miller, picking up the narrator's headset from the ground and posing for the camera.

"Hello everyone, maybe some of you just opened the elevator, and I'll reintroduce you to the big guys, this is Madison Square Garden in New York, the scene of the Lakers' away game against the Knicks. I'm the commentator Hoggist, one of the many doppelgangers of the star Hougist, and now it's up to me to bring you the next round of game commentary, which is a scrum, Hougist grabbed the ball before Anthony and dialed it to his teammates, and then he suddenly accelerated down, he surpassed all the players of the Knicks and rushed to the front, and then Kobe Bryant's long pass across the court, this is a 'Tete' connection, which belongs to the tacit understanding of Bryant and Hougist! Hougist flies in the air to catch the ball and dunk directly! With that, Haugist took off the headset and gave it back to Miller, then rolled over and jumped back into the field.

"Hey, this young man is really ...... Belch...... Is...... Well, he has the spirit of entertainment, yes, he really can entertain the public! "Reggie. Miller thought for a long time to alleviate the embarrassment, and then reluctantly found a word: Praise Haugist.

However, what Hoggist did next left Miller and the audience in front of the TV stunned.

This is indeed a jump ball, even if Anthony has no whistle, this kind of ball in his turf will not blow him for a foul, not to mention that Hougist himself did not express any dissatisfaction and dissent.

As soon as the referee threw the ball up, Hoggist took the lead in rising from the ground, reached the ball in the air and deliberately turned around to find someone, and then accurately distributed the ball to Kobe. What Hoggist had just said to the camera with a headset on his headset drowned out the music and buzzing vocals in the arena, except for Miller and his commentary partner Ernie. No one outside of Smith heard Hougist's words. The audience in front of the TV didn't know if Hoggist was joking or really planning to do it, and his teammates didn't know about Hoggist's plan. Kobe Bryant was obviously stunned when he received the ball, and Haugist glanced at Kobe the moment before landing, and after landing, he opened his long legs and rushed to the front court.

Kobe Bryant hesitated after seeing Hoggist's eyes, and finally did not rush to pass the ball to the court, but dribbled the ball slowly and leisurely forward, and the whole Knicks team did not understand this tactic, Anthony and Porzingis were rushing back to chase Haugist, while the other three were slowly retreating while staring at the movements of several other Lakers players, at this time Vujasic's years of experience in the tournament played a role, he thought that Hoggist's fast down may be to receive a long pass, and hurriedly rushed up to prepare to interfere with Kobe's vision of passing.

It can't be said that Vujacic reacted too slowly, it can only be said that Hoggist was too fast, when Vujacic just started, Kobe Bryant had already seen Haugist rush into the three-point line first, at this time Kobe suddenly understood Hougist's intentions, so Kobe, who was standing in the elbow area of the backcourt, threw the ball directly to the direction of the Knicks' basket.
