Chapter 182: Who Can Stop Him?

In the second half, Zhang Mao only played less than one quarter, and the game completely lost its suspense. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Spurs found themselves making a lot of mistakes in the first half, such as not using Zhang Mao's physical strength on the offensive end, which was very undeserved, so Bob Hill knew that he could correct his mistakes, and corrected several mistakes in a row in the middle of the court, but the result was that he died faster......

Isn't there a saying in China that "it's never too late to make amends", but this sentence is wrong many times, and today is a very wrong example.

In the second half, the Spurs began to storm the area guarded by Zhang Mao, but they didn't want to think that they were already 21 points behind, and the hope of turning defeat into victory was extremely slim, unless they could play an attack wave on the offensive end, and maybe there was a little hope.

At this time, the problem arises, in this time when it is necessary to race against time to grab points, the Spurs are going to attack the unknown area guarded by Zhang Mao, which has already become a strategy.

Now the Spurs should continue to storm the weakest area of the Lakers' defense, and perhaps there is a chance of survival.

So the result of the head iron is naturally to line up to deliver food to Zhang Yu, you must know that this handsome man is so good that he has no friends than the current state, basically one dies one, and two dies a pair!

Spurs pick this time to find trouble, which fully explains what it means to kill yourself!

There is no need to mention the tragic process of the people of San Antonio, anyway, the one who died is called a miserable!

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Fu delivered 2 steals and 2 blocks in the third quarter, and the offensive end was not as amazing as the first half, but he let the Spurs hit his head and bleed, as for the offensive task to his teammates, the Lakers players have found their form in the second quarter, and Zhang Qian does not need to worry about it.

In fact, playing here, none of the Spurs' pre-game strategic ideas have been achieved, and it is impossible to die a good-looking death.

At the end of the third quarter, the game lost suspense, and the final score was 106:75, and the Spurs were beaten by the Lakers for 31 points on the road, creating a rare defeat in history.

Zhang Wei had 36 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, but you must know that he had already scored 31 points in the first half, and in the third quarter, he let the area he was guarding leak, and the Spurs died at his hands again today.

Of course, all kinds of media will come to lick the strong and tout the winners after the game, and Zhang Fu also feels that with his amazing performance in the first half, he should be able to grab the headlines on Jordan's head.

"Who can stop him?"

Sure enough, ESPN gave him half the headline the next morning......

ESPN wrote in the report: The mighty Spurs seem to have become a plate of food in front of the Lakers, with an enticing aroma.

After the San Antonio's 30-point defeat, the question can be raised: Is there any player in the West who can stop Lyon?

If no one can make Lyon feel uncomfortable, this Lakers team will obviously be difficult to beat.

The Trail Blazers didn't limit Lyon's play, so they lost without suspense.

The Spurs were even more powerless against Lyon, their weak three-position defense, or second-rate perimeter defense, could not cause the slightest problem for Lyon's breakaway, and the little guy only needed to destroy the Spurs' carefully crafted defense with his own penetration.

Lyon, who was like a tank in World War I, was clamoured into the trenches of the front line, all the dense barbed wire obstacles were leveled, and the San Antonios clearly did not know what to do with this unprecedented steel monster.

That's right, Lyon's style is a new concept weapon in the NBA, and we've never seen a player like him who can knock opponents over like a bowling ball just by rampage.

If you defend him with a regular number three, no one can compete with his body; But if you defend him in the normal number four position, no one can keep up with his speed and agility.

How can these teams deal with such a two-way forward who can play a misaligned advantage in both positions, and it seems almost impossible to defend alone for the time being?

Perhaps, only by relying on the most commonly used joint defense in international basketball can we limit this monster that cannot be effective with single defense.

ESPN mentioned joint defense again, this is not the first time that the American media has issued a legal voice of "joint defense", but don't think it's all for Zhang Zhu, O'Neal's uncontrol is also part of the reason, both of them are players who rely on the existing rules in their respective positions to rely on the existing rules to defend alone, and it has also indirectly urged many teams to hope that the NBA will allow joint defense.

Even if one or two defenders can be found from the active players who can limit these two perverts, there are 29 teams in the league, and most teams are helpless when they encounter these two guys. So you have to rely on the strength of the team to defend them, but the existing rules prevent this team defense to a large extent, which indirectly makes these two guys more difficult to deal with.

The NBA has not yet been able to make up its mind to allow "joint defense", but the penalty for "illegal defense" is more ambiguous, and many times the penalty for "assisted defense" has been eliminated, which can be regarded as a temporary compromise, which can allow some teams to have some restrictions when facing Zhang and O'Neal.

But this kind of compromise is still a palliative rather than a cure, and the existing rules are really easy for Zhang Zhu to break through to the inside to create damage, especially for a team like the Spurs with weak external single defense ability, Zhang Zhu only needs to break through to make the opponent have nothing to do.

The league's entanglement lies in the fact that the first purpose of NBA games is "commercial revenue", to put it bluntly, "to make money", so if you want to achieve this purpose, you need "someone to watch", and then if you want someone to watch it, you need gorgeous breakthroughs and dunks, and you need the individual hero performance of superstars to attract the attention of fans......

But under the unlimited joint defense, the big players must be guarding under the basket, just like the big men in Europe, don't look at them as if they look stupid, but they are all masters of blocking and supplementing defense, these people's control of timing, defensive positional sense is far beyond the NBA inside, the most like ambush in the restricted area, specifically ambush those bullshit superheroes who fly in, but if the NBA does this, the spectacle of the game will seriously decline, and it is easy to affect the ratings.

If Zhang Zhu is not a Chinese, but a purebred white man, the league will definitely not allow the joint defense to appear, because they can take advantage of the situation to create a white basketball god, and use the influence of this new god to promote the NBA to the world, while the joint defense may affect their god-making sports, which is absolutely unbearable.

But even if Zhang is not white, the league does not want to introduce a full joint defense rule, which would not only limit Zhang but also stifle the individual performances of other stars, which is a self-digging act.

In the past two years, some shrewd people in the league have come up with a compromise plan to revise the rules of the joint defense and then introduce them, find a way to extract content that can constrain monster players like O'Neal and Zhang Zhu to a certain extent, and at the same time remove those rules that make the personal data of outside stars seriously decline, or add some restrictions to find a relative balance.

The problem now is very simple, that is, O'Neal and Zhang Qi's physical talents are too rebellious, and these two have broken the balance in their respective positions, so the rules of the NBA need to make some targeted changes to this, so that they don't become too buggy.

This is also a suggestion that David Stern can accept at the moment, and as early as the end of the regular season, the league has set up a special discussion group to study this matter, and their task is to develop some new rules for the NBA for the next ten or even two decades, and find some new balance that does not affect the spectacle of the game.

But no matter what ideas these guys come up with in the future, at least most teams this season have no good way to face Zhang Zhu and O'Neal, just like everyone didn't have anything to do in the face of Chamberlain, this is a physical crush, and the existing rules of the NBA have expanded this advantage, these two people are already almost insoluble to a certain extent, and other teams can only rely on their overall strength to suppress them, but once the overall strength of the team these two people is not bad, then it is really incomprehensible.

The Lakers easily beat the Spurs at home, and the Bulls also beat the Knicks at home.

Zhang Wei felt that he was too pitiful, and his reason was that with his 31 points in the half yesterday, he should be able to make today's headlines, but he didn't expect Jordan to score 44 points on the Knicks' head, which made him only get half of the headlines in some media.

"An old guy who retired and came back, why can he be so powerful?"

Zhang Qi was very depressed, Jordan's performance in the playoffs was not at all like a 33-year-old veteran who had retired for a season and a half.

The Bulls faced the New York Knicks, who are known for their defense, in the second round, and under the steel interior line composed of "Orangutan King" Ewing + "Old Oak" Oakley, this old thing can still score 44 points, leading the Bulls to suppress the Knicks all over the court.

Zhang Wei can grab half of the headlines on such a Jordan, which is actually enough to be proud.

The Knicks lack offensive firepower this season, or they lack explosive output on the offensive end, and it is difficult to play an offensive wave against a strong team to determine the outcome of the game, but if you talk about defensive ability alone, they are not much worse than the Bulls, especially the terrifying interior lineup, which is very restrained by the Lakers in the lineup.

Who are the inside lines in New York? Needless to say, Gorilla Ewing is the prototype of Akagi in Slam Dunk, maybe Ewing's talent is not the best among the four centers, and his IQ is a little low, but in terms of fighting spirit, enthusiasm, and even strong hardness on the court, this gorilla is the best one.

But Ewing is also the most tragic of the four, and the only one without a champion, and has the fewest honors, so when everyone later commented on the historical status, Ewing naturally had to be in the back row.

Now many people think that Zhang Qian can move forward for a while, which is completely caused by the shortage of talent in the No. 3 position, although this position has not produced many superstars.

The center is different, in the NBA in the eighties and nineties, the last thing that was lacking was the top center, which was an era of "supergiants" and "halls of fame" inside.

Let's talk about the Gorilla when he first joined the Alliance, and at that time he had to compete with half-crippled Wharton, old Skyhook, old prophet (Moses Malone), young mammoth (Mark Eaton), prime chief (Robert Parrish), prime dream, prime general, prime Mutombo, young shark, young Monin.

These are basically Hall of Fame levels, Ewing and these people's careers have intersected, and it is difficult to compete for the center position of one team and one defense every year among these masters, so it is a tragedy to say that he is a tragedy.

In addition to Ewing, the Knicks also have Charles Oakley, and if the "court villain" is mentioned among the active players, Oakley is a solid top three, if not the first.

In another time and space in 2002, O'Neal fought Miller at that time, and all his punches failed and fell into a laughing stock, and the situation at that time was like this - Miller and Oakley of the Bulls were two people who surrounded O'Neal, and the real black hand was actually Oakley, but O'Neal only dared to give Brad Miller an old punch, and since then he has fallen into a reputation of bullying the soft and afraid of the hard.

The inside line formed by these two people is strong enough, but the Knicks also have Anthony Mason, this is a fierce man, don't look at his five big and three thick, in fact, he is the most comprehensive power forward in the NBA, Olajuwon can be defended on the defensive end, and the offensive end is not bad at all, plus a high-level organizational ability, he definitely has star potential.

Just next season, Mason switched to the Hornets and handed over 16.2 points, 11.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists, and was successfully elected as an All-Star, which shows that he not only has the strength of the best sixth man, but also has the strength of an All-Star player.

However, even with such a terrifying interior lineup, Jordan was still able to cut key points in key rounds repeatedly, which made the Knicks, who lacked explosive output, extremely depressed throughout the game, and couldn't catch up with the less than double-digit deficit until the end of the game.

Jordan played such a dominant game, and it was already good that Zhang Yu could still get half of the headlines on Monday.

But in the afternoon, after O'Neal also scored 41 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists in just 36 minutes, his half of the headlines were gone.

Sure enough, these monsters are not just talking, and the Magic easily defeated the Atlanta Hawks at home with 41 points from the Sharks and 32 points from Hardaway, and there was no suspense in the whole process.

In the evening, the SuperSonics faced the Jazz, theoretically a strong dialogue, but the process and result were not like this, the SuperSonics defeated the Jazz 102-72 at home, except for Malone with 21 points and Lao Huo with 13 points, there were no more players with double-doubles on the Jazz side.

Payton almost double-gloved Stockton in this game, who only shot 2-of-10 from the field, and before he made free throws, he made one free throw in the whole game, and as a result, he missed a shot, and his seven assists were not considered a normal performance.

In this game, Payton perfectly showed what "DPOY" is, he can get this award, but not by a big mouth, this season he is not the only star guard who has been trapped.

The first game of the semifinals in the East and West was not shocking, judging from the process and results, this round is still a contest of strength and weakness, a total of three teams are big wins over their opponents, although the Bulls did not win more than ten points against the Knicks, but New York is a team that is difficult to win or lose more than ten points, the Bulls have always suppressed the Knicks throughout the court, and did not give the New Yorkers a chance, in fact, it is a disparity between strength and weakness.
