Chapter 476: The Strongest Dominance in History
The Knicks won the ball, and after Li Wei dribbled the ball across half court, he called a No. 31 tactic.
In the current tactical system of the Knicks, the 3 series of tactics are basically organized by the forwards, and the others are running. So he gave the ball to Garnett and ran to the bottom corner himself.
On the other side, Houston and Maddie also went around the cover according to the tactical requirements!
Garnett saw that the Lakers' defense was very good, and Li Wei, Maddy, and Houston were all empty, so he had to give the ball to Houston and go to the air himself!
This is the second phase of Tactic No. 31, and Nesterovic stepped forward to give Garnett a cover!
Robert Horry was blocked by Ouchi and took a step slower, leaving Garnett behind!
Houston passes the ball in time!
It's a pity that as soon as Garnett received the ball, O'Neal came over to make up for it!
Seeing O'Neal, who was like a mountain of meat, hit him, and the giant palm fell from the sky, Garnett had to play a lever in the air, and the strength of the layup was slightly greater!
"Dang!"
The ball hits the left side of the basket and bounces high!
Robert Horry, who was chasing from behind, just picked up the defensive rebound!
The Lakers attacked, and Fisher saw that Da Yao was defending Ao Fat alone, and stuffed the ball from a distance!
The pass was very fast, very sudden, but O'Neal just received the ball, and before he could hold it, Maddie and Houston pounced together!
Loftus-Cheek Hearn exclaimed: "The Knicks' bag is so timely! ”
"A lot of people see the Knicks conceding points per game and think they're not good defensively, but it's the opposite. If their defense is really bad, they won't get 63 wins either! ”
"Then why are they conceding so many points per game?" Cheek Hearn asked.
"First of all, they were looking for a fast thing, as if they were going back to the 80s. In this fast-paced attack, it's easy to score and it's easy to concede. ”
Cheek Hearn said: "In the 80s, our sho time years really led the way for a while."
Stu Lanterz said: "If you want to say that the offensive ability is the strongest, you have to look at Doug Mo and the Nuggets under his command!" ”
Loftus-Cheek Hearn said: "What about Paul Westhead's Nuggets? ”
Stu Lanterz said: "Paul Westhead's run-and-gun style of play when he was with the Nuggets was really the most frustrating, I remember that season, they averaged 120 points per game? However, his team has no defense at all, and the average points conceded per game is as high as 131 points! ”
Cheek Hearn nodded, "Yes, Westhead played a run-and-run and died a terrible death, while Chuck Daley took his Pistons to defend the team and won the championship." Since then, the league has put a lot of emphasis on defense, which has also led to the NBA becoming a meat grinder throughout the 90s! ”
Stu Lanterz said: "When Coach Lee first coached the Knicks, I thought he was going to die a miserable death like Westhead, but the opposite happened, and he succeeded. I think he was successful enough, not because he used the run-and-gun on the offensive side, but because he pursued the run-and-gun on the offensive side without collapsing on the defensive end! ”
Loftus-Cheek said: "I think that's why Coach Lee is willing to give Garnett the highest salary in the NBA. His system can't be played at all without a special talent like Garnett! ”
Stu Lanterz said: "This season's rule changes have also helped the Knicks a lot, otherwise they wouldn't have won 63!" ”
When the two commentators were chatting, Maddie and Houston had already formed a circle with Da Yao, surrounding Ao Fat in the middle!
Ao Fat still didn't give up and forcibly turned around!
What an O'Neal, when he forcibly turned around, Maddie couldn't stop him at all, so he had to hold his arm!
Da Yao, who stood behind Ao Fat and defended at the top, never gave up his efforts and kept pushing behind Ao Fat!
So he was as strong as O'Neal couldn't stand on his feet, and stumbled and fell to the ground along with Maddie, who was holding his arm!
"Squeak——! The referee blew the whistle and blew Maddie for a defensive foul.
Since Fat hasn't formed a shooting move, the Lakers are back on serve.
Kobe Bryant and others helped O'Neal to empty the inside line, and O'Fat squeezed Da Yao to get the ball!
But as soon as he received the ball, Li Wei came over in time!
O'Neill forcibly turned around!
Li Wei took a handful and failed to pull out O'Neal's ball, and then saw this huge fat man complete his small turn, and face Da Yao's block, hook the ball in!
89:88, the difference between the two teams is only one point left!
Da Yao sighed when he saw O'Neill score.
This once-in-a-century monster is really not something that can be prevented!
"Don't be discouraged, you're well defended, just fight like this!" Li Wei patted Da Yao, "Occasionally one or two balls can't be prevented, it's nothing, just make him uncomfortable all the time!" ”
"Yes." Da Yao nodded.
You come and go, and the two sides have fought for more than a dozen rounds!
By the end of the game with two and a half minutes left, the big score on the field was 100:100!
NBC commentator Costas said: "This game is really good, I didn't expect Nash to be injured, and Coach Lee can still take his Knicks and Lakers to play inseparable!" ”
Doug Collins said: "Yes, the Lakers won by 16 points in the third quarter, and when the score was overtaken, I thought the Knicks were losing!" ”
Costas said: "Doug, you can analyze, why did the Knicks stabilize the situation again?" ”
Doug Collins said: "First of all, Coach Lee made some corrections to the Knicks' defensive system, and the whole team helped defend O'Neal while also helping him fill in the gaps. This seems to be a very incredible thing, because the situation on the field is always changing in an instant, and people tend to take care of one at the expense of the other, as the so-called loyalty and filial piety cannot be both. But the Knicks, it seems, really did it both in this section! ”
Costas said: "In this way, Coach Li is indeed one of the most talented coaches in the league!" ”
Doug Collins said: "The other point is that Coach Lee's defensive intensity has also improved dramatically. We all know that during the regular season, he didn't guard at all, only brushed the data, and many media called him a brush. But in the playoffs, especially in the series against the 76ers, he has been very careful to defend, and even called Iverson the Terminator by the New York media.
Today, against our Derrick Fisher, he also played a wonderful defense, the gambling steals and gambling blocks in the past rarely appear today, plus the Knicks' team-wide defense, so he didn't become a colander! ”
Kostas said: "O'Neill wants the ball, the last moment of the game is the moment when the superstar performs, he has to score!" ”
Doug Collins said, "The Knicks are another three-man bag!" ”
As the two commentators spoke, a familiar scene appeared on the field again.
O'Neal received the ball on the inside, and on the Knicks' side, Da Yao was behind him, and Maddie and Garnett surrounded him together!
Three defenses and one!
"Ah——!h
This season's MVP, who is also regarded by many fans as the most dominant player in the NBA, let out a roar!
The next moment, everyone saw him trick Maddie with a feint, then bumped into Garnett, and finally squeezed Da Yao to get up!
Da Yao's position was not good, although he raised his hands high, but it seemed that he was powerless to stop it!
