Chapter 49: Team Rocket's "in-out" tactics

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Bulls Liu Ming, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Luke Longley, and "Zen Master" Phil Jackson let Kukoc, who played almost the entire first half, rest off the court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Born in white and often playing on the bench, Kukoc mentioned the starter fiercely, and the opponent was Kevin Willis, a "gibbon", this kind of guy who can play in the league for 23 years, Kukoc is physically and mentally exhausted.

In the third quarter, the Bulls showed their housekeeping skills again – pressing all over the court. Rockets point guard Matt Maloney. A player who entered the NBA without a draft pick.

This guy is shorter and lighter than Liu Ming, and he doesn't have anything to say, Liu Ming directly presses him and steals him, while Jordan stares at his old opponent "Slide. Soar. machine." Drekles, so even if Olajuwon has the skills of a small forward, it will be difficult to get the ball.

The Bulls took advantage of this time to chase back a few points, but in the end, Tang Shuai (Rudy Tomjanovic) could only let Drekles dribble, and Matt Maloney was responsible for receiving Drakles and offensive runs to open up space and let Olajuwon single.

Since the tricks are useless, you can only use conventional tactics to see the team's tactical execution ability. The Bulls came up with a "triangle offense" strategy, while the Rockets also came up with the "in-out" tactic that won two consecutive championships in previous years.

Drecles held the ball on the left, with Kevin Willis, Matt Maloney, Mario Elie, and three players lurking on the off-ball side. Olajuwon stood in the low post on the side with the ball, Drecles dribbled at a 45-degree angle to the left and right of the three-point line, and one of the other three off-ball players, Matt Maloney, stood at the top of the three-point circle, one Kevin Willis stood at a 45-degree angle on the off-ball side, and one Mario Elie stood on the off-ball side.

Drakles passed the ball through the air to Olajuwon in the low post inside, Olajuwon did not take the ball directly alone, first hold the ball and watch, but this time also scared Luke Longli into a nervous face, ready to defend Olajuwon.

At this moment, the ball-holding guard Drecles moved to the top of the circle, and Jordan also hurried to follow. However, the Rockets' tactics are certainly not so simple, the player who was originally standing at the top of the circle Matt Mronny moved to the off-ball side, Liu Ming also followed closely, and Drecles moved directly diagonally to the off-ball side at this time, forming a situation where the strong-side player Olajuwon faced the defender one-on-one through these two runs.

In fact, this tactic looks simple, but it is not easy to defend, assuming that the defender does not carry out a double package, Olajuwon chooses to dribble with his back to the basket and move inside, and Drakles or Matt Maloney at the top of the circle moves laterally to the side with the ball again at this moment, getting rid of the defender closely, Olajuwon passes the ball from the inside to Drakles or Matt Maloney to form a shooting opportunity that is unguarded for about 1 to 2 seconds, and then the result is needless to say; And if Olajuwon is immediately caught in the trap, Olajuwon will choose to pass the ball to a teammate who is missing due to the trap and complete the layup or shoot to score.

Therefore, this "in-out" tactic is simple and practical, and the biggest requirement is to have a good center, and Olajuwon fits this condition very well. In fact, it is often such a simple and practical tactic that can win the championship.

Tactics like Princeton's are too demanding of players, with few eligible players, and it's harder to gather them into a team.

As for which tactic is powerful? Liu Ming feels that whether it is the "triangle offense", Princeton, "in-out", or bombardment tactics, the final competition is the execution ability of the players. (In the 01-02 season, the Kings won the Western Conference regular season championship with a 61-win win over the Lakers, who beat the "triangle offense", and almost won the Lakers in the Western Conference finals.

However, Liu Ming also knew that the players in the later NBA had improved their tactical literacy, and in the cooperation of the players, there was no such simple Inside-Out, but through the more complex perimeter 3 people to carry out more than 2 off-ball blocks and dismantles to complete the creation of empty shots.

The Bulls also came up with a "magic weapon" triangle offense, Pippen organized, Jordan fell to the position, and Liu Ming ran back and forth not far from Jordan, ambushing.

The tactics of both teams worked, but tonight's Jordan felt cold, and his mid-range step-back jumper didn't score, so I don't know if it was Drexles' defensive interference.

But fortunately, with Luke Longley's man and Rodman's defense, Olajuwon's life is not easy.

"22:20" The Bulls relied on, and Liu Ming's two three-pointers were slightly ahead.

At the end of the third quarter, the "73:75" Bulls trailed by two points.

The physical crisis of the Bulls appeared in the fourth quarter, and the Bulls used an eight-man rotation tonight, with Randy Brown, Jason Kaffee, and "Old Chief" Robert Parrish also injured.

The Bulls' "Big Three" Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman are all currently on the court for almost 40 minutes, and playing against a team like the Rockets, the games are very tense and intense, and their physical strength is declining faster than usual.

Pippen's mid-range vacancy began to be iron, and the cold feel was also transmitted to other teammates Jordan, Liu Ming, Kukoc, and Cole, no matter who they replaced, the feel was not very good.

After all, the Rockets are dominated by Olajuwon, a super center on the inside, with a much better shooting rate than Jordan, and tonight's Drecles seems to want to "be ashamed of the snow", and tonight he played a "triple-double" against Jordan. And Liu Ming's freshman class, as the first pick in the second round of 96, Ocella Harrington didn't want Liu Ming, a rookie with two picks higher than him, to perform alone, Harrington was dissatisfied with Liu Ming in his heart, although Liu Ming and his pick were only two picks apart, but the status was indeed worlds apart, one was a first-round show, and a second-round show. Harrington also proved that his 31st pick was definitely underrated today, and tonight Harrington shot 3-of-3 from the field and 1-of-2 from the free throw line to score seven points.

Of course, as another "party", Liu Ming doesn't know who O'Sella Harrington is, and Liu Ming's target is the guy from the Lakers with the 13th pick in the same class.

In the fourth quarter, due to the Bulls' weak follow-up, they lost by 14 points in a single quarter, and the game ended. "86:102", the Bulls lost to the Rockets by a big score.

This can be regarded as a wake-up call for the Bulls, and there are Rockets in the league who can threaten the defending title.
