Chapter 253: The Heat in Larry's Eyes
In the late regular season, one of the reasons why the Knicks' collective performance was extremely uncertain was that these Knicks players absorbed too many tactical options, and sometimes when they were playing on the court, many players were a little confused.
But if you take a closer look at the Knicks' main force and bench, the tactics used now are indeed very 'messy'. There is a high-low position between Duncan and Robinson of the Spurs, which can also be said to be a double-tower combination, which is the most frequently used coordination between Malone, Bosh and Yao Ming, and it is also a coordination mode that any team will feel extremely uncomfortable to block when the Knicks giants are in good hands.
When the Wizards won the championship that year, Collins used a Duke championship type, which is simply to maintain unlimited running, attack in the misalignment, tacit organization and cooperation of the two playmakers, relying on the long-distance projection ability that all players have, through running, blocking and pick-and-roll, and carry out small-scale, trusting the passer's cooperation.
There is Jackson's triangle offense used most in the Bulls and Lakers, referred to as superstar tactics, which is a breakthrough offensive lineup that will be used when all players have a bad hand and must have one person stand up.
Of course, in order to cooperate with the training used by Ray Allen, Gong Feng and even the substitute Korver to provide space for shooters, this is also one of them, of course, this kind of cooperation is more from the training of the point guard, and it is also a fun competition and cooperation.
After many practice sessions, the Knicks will have ten players play the role of two teams, and then bet on the goal competition between Gong Feng, Allen and Korver, limited to five offenses, and the pass to these three shooters may be Yao Ming, Hill, Gong Feng, Jay, Malone, and Bosh.
Sometimes it's a meal, a drink, a few small penalties, and if Mill happens to be interested, and he's still training with the players on the field, he'll even pull out some Knicks memorabilia that the players are interested in.
You must know that the history of the Knicks is a history that cannot be ignored in the NBA, and the Knicks have some limited memorabilia in the league, which is not easy to buy in the outside world.
With such a large amount of coordination tactics, now we have to add Jazz blocking and pick-and-roll coordination...... There are more coordination tactics, but depending on the ability of the players, such a variety of coordination types do not require all the main players to complete.
This is also one of the biggest guarantees for the Knicks to win the championship this year, which is to bet on the Knicks' own bench players, when the performance on the court is sluggish and limited, and the main players need to be out to get it done, the Knicks will produce a lot of better tactics between the bench and the main team...... Pick-and-roll tactics are one of them, and Hill's three-point stability is indeed a bit worse than Battier's now.
Among the famous breakthrough offensive players in the 90s, the three-point ability cannot be said to be none, but there is no three-point ability that exceeds the shooting rate of more than 40%, Hardaway and Hill all belong to this kind, although the current Hill has strengthened his projection training, and also deliberately added a lot of three-point shooting training in training, but in a short period of time, Battier is more stable than Hill's three-point shooting, and more trustworthy.
The blocking and dismantling cooperation between Gong Feng and Malone requires the ability to pull the space, that is to say, once Gong Feng's passing line is restricted, Gong Feng will choose his personal ball-holding offense, so that Gong Feng is the absolute offensive and defensive core in this formation, which is equivalent to Stockton's status in the Jazz, and Hill's ability to hold the ball will be very limited, not to mention that there is Allen on the court.
Watching Gong Feng rely on blocking and dismantling tactics in a row, after all three rounds were successful, Larry called Ben and Rashid, and then the Pistons suddenly used Ben to defend Malone?
Is Old Man Larry also confused by the Knicks' offensive mode, although this does make Gong Feng unable to attack or assist as he wants again, but the alignment between Malone and Ben Wallace is ......
Seeing the Pistons doing this, the Knicks immediately changed their offensive mode on the court, allowing Malone to play as much as he could on the inside, which was very much used when Olajuwon led the Rockets players to win the first team championship.
After seeing four rounds, seeing that Malone's singles ability was still very strong, Larry, who felt wrong, called a timeout, called Ben and Prince to his side, and then said something.
The classic two-round Finals matchup between the Bulls and the Jazz is not a very long time, and the old man of the league, Larry, naturally knows where the Jazz's offense is, but to say that everyone admits it, what kind of composition was the Bulls players back then, although the current Pistons are strong, they are still slightly inferior to Pippen and Hubble's height and ability, so Larry wants to see how Malone is doing today, so let Ben spread the muddy waters first.
Fortunately, Ma Long's ability is not bad, but after all, the age is there, and Gong Feng is not Stockton, but the two offensive and defensive modes of such two 'imitations' should be enough in Larry's opinion, right?
Sure enough, Gong Feng's pass was interfered with by Prince again, and he almost missed the goal if he didn't reach the goal, which could cause the Pistons to counterattack, but Gong Feng looked at Prince and Ben, who had changed a little standing position at the corner position, shook his head, and then clapped his hands, asked everyone to come over, and muttered a few words directly on the court......
Mir saw this and wanted to call a timeout immediately, not to arrange any tactics, but to reprimand Gong Feng justifiably, fortunately, at this time, Mir knew that the number of pauses was precious, and it could not be called because of trivial things, so Mir held back, but this time of Gong Feng, it was 'remembered' by Mir.
Gong Feng, who received the serve, faced Chaunsien's defense this time, but this time it was not Ma Long who blocked and dismantled Gong Feng, but Cott, don't forget that with Cott's forward height of about two meters eight, he has the ability to shoot from a distance.
Of course, this time it was Ben who defended Kurt, and Gong Feng wanted to come this time, and it seemed that this attack would not be useful at all, no matter what, Ben's bounce and defense were not easy for Gong Feng to break through now.
It's just that Gong Feng faced Ben's defense and didn't stop the ball and passed directly to Malone in the middle line, and Allen had already come to the basket with the help of the moment after the block, received Ma Long's pass, and easily completed a backhand layup under the basket.
Seeing Gong Feng handle this ball like this, Larry couldn't help but get annoyed, Gong Feng wanted to align himself with Ben, not what Gong Feng wanted to do offensively, but to put Chauncy and Hamilton, who were slightly worse in defense, together, and after Kurt and Gong Feng blocked and dismantled, they didn't have any intention of staying to get the ball, and went directly to Ray Allen, so they completed a small-scale team cooperation.
The two main assistant defenders at the corner of the Knicks' pass, in such a situation, there is no way to defend the players they should defend, but any possible defensive line, after seeing this, Gong Feng directly changed the passing strategy, so that the team's third scoring point can get points smoothly.
It was a perfect fit without calling a timeout, and Larry was very annoyed to see this, and he wanted to take Gong Feng's head off to save himself trouble.
The good thing for the Pistons is that Chauncy immediately broke through Allen once in the next round, forced a successful layup, and came back once.
Gong Feng couldn't help but smile when he saw Lei Allen's annoyed appearance when he didn't defend it, and then muttered in Alun's ear, Alun looked at Gong Feng with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
After Gong Feng came to the front court with the ball, Ray Allen began to accelerate suddenly from a 45-degree angle on the right side, and made a block with Kurt in the high post, and Ben, who was defending Kurt, hurried over and wanted to put his hand under Allen.
This kind of defense is a regular action that interferes with offensive players, but it will be banned by the league in the near future. If Ray Allen had forced a catch-and-shoot here, he would have been able to jump and interfere, and even if Allen hadn't been resolute, he could have gotten a block.
It's a pity that Allen just made a feint, and immediately and quickly ran directly from the high post to the low position, Ben's action was not slow, first blocking the passing route of Gong Feng, and then behind Allen, watching the movements of all the players, ready to make up for the defense at any time.
Ma Long, who formed a block with Allen, temporarily got rid of Rashid's defense, and came to the high post to receive a pass from Gong Feng, and after the pass, Gong Feng immediately brought his defender to a 30-degree angle on the left side, where he could meet Ma Long, which is already the weakness of Gong Feng's three points, but fortunately, no one dared to let Gong Feng shoot empty three-pointers.
At this time, Ben and Wallace immediately pounced on Malone and prevented Malone from making a possible shot this time, but Malone did not stop the ball at all, and immediately passed across the half court to Ray Allen, who returned to the right side again.
At this time, there was no one to defend in front of Allen, and Prince kept staring at Battier on the left foot, and the Pistons didn't dare to let him go with Battier's three-point shooting percentage.
Hamilton went around to defend Kurt in the three-second zone...... Ray Allen, who received the basketball, even took the initiative to pause, and then steadily threw the basketball in his hand, directly returning a three-point shot.
Larry didn't look at Allen's three-point shot, but set his eyes on Gong Feng, and the heat in his eyes was about to ignite Gong Feng on the court.
Why did Larry stare at the Bow Peak, which seemed to have achieved nothing and nothing in this attack?
This time, Allen's running position was absolutely wonderful, using the four of his teammates on the field as his cover, but this time the finishing touch was not from Malone's assist across the half, but from the bow peak.
But Gong Feng seems to just pass the ball once, and then move it a little, what does this do?
But Gong Feng created such a wonderful situation for these two people!
Passing the ball earlier, Allen's running position was not in place, and Malone couldn't attract the attention of Ben and Rashid.
With a later pass, Chauncy and Ben had already completed the change of defense, and neither Arun nor Gongfeng could get any vacant opportunities.
That's the beauty of Bow Peak's two moves, and it's what makes Sparks pop up Larry's eyes.
Of course, if such a cooperation is after hundreds of exercises, Larry will not perform like this, although it seems to be a very wonderful cooperation, the vast majority of people who see this attack will only think that it is an offensive tactic arranged by the coach, and they will not think about anything else except that it feels very exciting.
However, Larry clearly knew that this was a game that Gong Feng personally arranged in a short period of time, and he used the ability of his teammates on the field to clearly know the ability of his teammates and guide him at the right time.
Malone's strength is reflected in his shooting ability in the high post, and all Allen's runs are completed in front of his eyes, and such a pass is not a skill.
The two runs of Kurt and Allen are also practiced for a long time, one person in the low post to form pressure on the defender, and snatch the rebounds that may appear, once Ray Allen's three-point does not score, the probability of Cotter grabbing the rebound is as high as 90%.
The only flaw here is reflected in Battier, because Battier originally slipped to move to the bottom line, but after seeing Gong Feng make a gesture, he did not immediately move at the bottom foot.
Another point is that this tactic does not have Allen's terrifying ability to pull and calculate, and it is impossible to achieve such a good pass and movement without calculating the Pistons' ability to assist, which is another big 'flaw'. (To be continued.) )
