The Wizards' rotation defense relies on high-intensity continuous running, that is to say, except for Oakley, all players who encounter the Lakers' blocking or breaking through must immediately substitute for defense, do not wrap up, and encounter players to break through.

The most important thing in this kind of defense is the attitude of the players, not only to keep an eye on their own players, but also to keep an eye on all the players passing by their defensive area, and the second is that the defensive players must have a certain physique and height.

No defensive formation is omnipotent, and modern basketball is impossible to make the opposing side completely scoreless, as long as the frequency of the defensive object scoring is reduced, the unique rhythm of the offensive side is changed, the strongest points are difficult to score, and the offensive area of the opposing side is compressed, this kind of defense is already a very remarkable achievement.

Of course, if there must be a flaw in this kind of defense, otherwise wouldn't the Knicks win the championship that year?

There are many disadvantages of this kind of defense, the first of which is that there is a limit to the physical fitness and form that players who meet the defensive standards.

A team that uses this type of defense, a player of average physical fitness, simply cannot play the whole game.

In other words, this kind of defense can only be emergency for the Wizards, and it cannot be the norm for the Wizards regular season games, because when the Wizards are in full staff, the main focus is offense, crazy offense, not defense. This kind of defensive player, once he adapts to this defensive style, the first will become a lack of offensive spirit, the second is that everyone will become a muscular man, the third will increase the injury risk of the main core players, and the fourth will have limited restrictions on players with excellent talent (Jordan).

Together, these things are the most terrifying consequences for the Wizards.

Of course, in the seventh game of this life-and-death battle, Collins was extremely satisfied with the performance of all the players of the Wizards in the first half.

However, although the above shortcomings are fatal, they are fatal after long-term use, but the Wizards' version of iron-blooded defense is still impossible to compare with the Knicks back then, the first is the quality of the players...... The Knicks, Oakley, Ewing, Anthony Jr.? Mason, Aunt Johnson...... In terms of the quality of a single player, the Knicks' main players back then could all be ranked in the top 20 in the league.

The second is experience, and most importantly, the Wizards only know one of these defensive variations...... This is already the maximum training result for the Wizards since Oakley came, that is to say, Collins said privately that if this tactic is used, it will be the effect of a game, and other training is just a way to strengthen the players' defense......

……

The Lakers' offense, Fisher stopped the ball at the top of the arc and passed directly to O'Neal inside, O'Neal held the ball and started to play alone, and after a second, Gerrard quickly came over to help defend...... Although O'Neal can face two and three defenders can also score the ball, but you always have to look at the physical fitness of these two or three, right?

Oakley's tonnage and strength in the low position, O'Neal is very difficult to deal with, not to mention that the current Oakley is the most physical, once coupled with the good quality of Gerrard to help defend, O'Neal If he doesn't want his shooting rate to be reduced to less than forty percent, the best way is to pass.

Once the ball is passed, the Wizards' rotation begins, from inside to outside, from the right side to the top of the arc, and then to the left side...... In the first half, either Bryant drove the ball directly to the basket and went to the basket with the help defense, or the rest of the Lakers shot with the interference of the Wizards' defenders.

Of course, it could be that other players burst into the basket and passed O'Neal to score, but these offenses were all interfered with by the Wizards' players' defense, which was the main reason why the Lakers scored very low in the first half.

But the Lakers, who attacked for the first time in the second half, changed their passing strategy...... O'Neal quickly moved to the high post after passing, blocking the rotation of the Wizards' interior players, covering a gap with his huge physique, and other players who passed the basketball would also move quickly, making the gap even bigger, allowing players to pass directly from the 45-degree angle on the right side to the 45-degree angle on the left side, or even the foot on the left...... That's how the Lakers designed it.

Generally speaking, in the finals, it is a game with a lower number of mistakes, since it is lower than who has a lower number of mistakes, some actions can not be done, and some basketball that can be passed in daily life cannot be passed now, especially this kind of passing across the half court is even more taboo, once such a pass means that the risk of mistakes increases rapidly.

However, the increased risk also means great benefits, and once this pass is successful, it will only mean one thing for the Lakers, that is, one of the shooters is outside the three-point line, and there is no one to defend, which means that such a pass will form an empty space......

Just when Horry, who was on the bottom line, was ready to catch and shoot, suddenly a hand appeared on this road, directly blocking Fisher's pass, and just in the space where the Lakers players were a little stunned, Gong Feng had already accelerated and ran to the frontcourt.

The pass also came, although Fisher still followed closely, and when he was about to catch up with Gong Feng, Gong Feng suddenly slowed down, and when Fisher pressed forward to defend, he quickly made a backward step, stood outside the three-point line, adjusted his breathing, and shot quickly, and scored a three-point shot!

After shooting, Gong Feng didn't look at Fisher, who was a little stumbling and didn't know whether to defend the shot or grab the rebound, but turned around and left directly, a chic mess...... Anyway, all the Wizards fans in front of the TV have already let out a burst of exclamations, and the cheers of the women are especially obvious......

The Lakers chose the most brilliant way to break the game, but this approach also created the brilliance of Gong Feng's quick three-pointer.

Jackson was not surprised to see Bow Feng's goal, but glanced at Gerrard, who broke Fisher's pass, and couldn't help but look at the Wizards' bench, and couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

"Bet on the last one, if this offense is still broken, Collins has already arranged it, otherwise it will be the best time for our Lakers to open the score."

This time it was Kobe Bryant who moved forward with the ball, facing Hamilton's marking, directly accelerated with a feint, and entered the basket, Gerrard quickly came over to help defend, and also paid attention to Kobe's high pass, Oakley also directly blocked Kobe's pass to O'Neal's route, Kobe Bryant faced this kind of defense, and immediately passed the ball to Fox at a 45-degree angle on the left side, Puoboye quickly came over to help defend, and Fox quickly passed to Fisher on the right baseline after receiving the ball......

It's a pity that the last pass route was directly cut off by Gong Feng, according to Jackson's calculations, or the performance of the Wizards in the first half, Gong Feng should have intercepted Horry at a 45-degree angle on the right side at this time, but Gong Feng actually directly abandoned the route passed to Horry and went directly to defend Fisher......

Seeing this, Jackson immediately stood up, angrily asked all the Lakers players to quickly return to the defense, and looked in the direction of Collins......

Collins just shrugged his shoulders at Jackson like this, showing his helplessness, which means that you have to use the method of maximum benefit to score, and other ordinary methods are not done, who do you blame?

After Gong Feng broke the ball, he quickly rushed forward, Horry was in front of Gong Feng, and he wanted to block Gong Feng's forward path outside the three-point line, Gong Feng glanced back at the players behind him, and slowed down his speed slightly, just when Horry thought Gong Feng was waiting for the players to reorganize the attack......

Gong Feng quickly rushed forward from Horry's right, Horry reacted very quickly, and immediately turned sideways to continue to follow, but after Gong Feng broke further, a crotch, cross step, and then back side step, a set down, opened a little gap between Horry, and Horry closed his eyes, or expressionless outside the three-point line to shoot the basketball, three-point goal in!

Gong Feng scored eight points in a row at the start of the half, directly leading the Lakers by three points in a minute and a half.
