Chapter 106: The Final Completion of All Arrangements
Although Jackson was very annoyed when he saw that the three people on the court had made the most adequate preparations, he didn't feel any uneasiness about this, and the annoyance in his heart was more unhappy with Collins's calculations.
"The basketball league, or the NBA, in the seventh game of the finals at the level of life and death, the decision is always the absolute level of the main five players on the court, not the average level of all players, your Wizards' substitutions are more to relieve the physical strength of the main players, but for the Lakers, what if all the main players play more than 45 minutes? Besides, who thinks that a good warm-up will play normal? ”
Thinking of this, Jackson seemed to think of something, and immediately made a gesture to Fisher and Fox.
Now only Gong Feng has the ability to organize among the backcourt players on the Wizards' court, and the organizational ability of others has not been discovered by Jackson, so it can be said that everyone except Haywood has the ability to shoot, which means that it is the most difficult formation to play Gong Feng's strengths...... This is also the helpless choice of the Wizards, apart from Gong Feng, can any Wizards player become the absolute main force?
Sure enough, after Gong Feng received the ball, the Lakers immediately adopted a tight defensive style in the frontcourt, and Fox and Fisher forced Gong Feng to pass the ball in the front court, resulting in a mistake by the Wizards players.
However, the Wizards have already taken countermeasures to this, Wang Zhizhi and Hamilton both responded to the bow peak in the second half, but at this time, Kobe Bryant was staring closely at the route passed to Hamilton......
Gong Feng didn't hesitate at this, didn't look at Hamilton's direction, but passed directly to Wang Zhizhi, and Wang Zhizhi seemed to defend in the face of Horry's forward pressure, and did not pass the ball at the first time, but started quickly...... Dribble?
Collins didn't let Wang Zhizhi have unilateral dribbling anti-interference training, because in Collins's opinion, Wang Zhizhi is just another Leitner, and even the enhanced version of Leitner doesn't need to dribble, right? Besides, in terms of Wang Zhizhi's height and dribbling skills, the probability of being broken is too high.
Although Ke Wang's dribbling skills are a little worse than some of the NBA's top interior lines, his dribbling skills have not been put down at all, but he has not been specially trained for a long time, and with the help of assistant coaches, he just uses dribbling as a prelude to complete technical actions, which is also the choice of most interior players.
Even Collins was very surprised to see this, not to mention Horry, who despised him a little after Wang Zhizhi came on the court, and in Horry's mind, the first thing Wang Zhizhi did after receiving the ball was to find a pass object......
After easily passing Horry, Wang Zhizhi who went directly to the basket, faced O'Neal's supplementary defense, and a ground-hitting pass that didn't look at people immediately went to Heywood's hands, and if he couldn't pour it into the face of Konglan...... Corinth will kill him.
Jackson's face was slapped again, he looked at the two yellow people on the court with great annoyance, and asked the assistant coaches around him hatefully: "After Wang Zhizhi arrived at the Wizards, hand me all the materials about him." ”
"Yes!"
After a quick glance at the scout's report on Wang Zhizhi, Jackson's heart couldn't help but be angry, what is this Nima?
The regular season stats are standard Leitner-type stats, with assists, mid-to-long-range shots, a good cooperative player, Leitner's best bench, and a very complete height and weight physical examination, but what about all the stats before the NBA? Jackson saw the last line as he thought of this.
From 96 to 01, the highest level of basketball league in China, six consecutive championships......
This line is very small, or the last line, but Jackson read it for a long time, and after reading it, he couldn't wait to throw this report directly in the face of the assistant coach next to him, a player who has won six consecutive league championships, maybe it is not a league, but it is also a league ...... How is it possible for a team at a dominant level, or an absolute core player, to only have a few seemingly simple skills?
But Jackson also sighed when he thought of this, even if he was an assistant coach, I am afraid that he would give up on a player like Wang Zhizhi, because the technical characteristics of this player in the NBA are too clear, and the assistants also mentioned that Wang Zhizhi is a left-handed player, and he put forward a specific strategy on how to defend.
Jackson just glanced at the report a few times, and Wang Zhizhi on the court was even more open, receiving the ball on the inside with his back against Horry, looking for space to pass the ball, Hamilton, Gong Feng, Simmons are all players with strong projection ability, and the Lakers didn't have a good way to deal with such a Wizards team for a while......
And the Lakers also encountered a lot of problems in the offense, and the Wizards played an outward-expanding defense after the three of them came on the court, but Kobe Bryant didn't have a good way to open this situation for a while.
Of course, the Lakers faced an outward expansion defense, and the first choice was of course O'Neal on the inside, but O'Neal had a pause when facing Haywood's defense, especially after facing Haywood's defense, the Lakers players found for the first time that O'Neal's bounce ability was much worse than that of rookie Haywood.
After Jackson read the report, he saw that Horry, who couldn't find a chance to pass, didn't score the shot under the interference of Wang Zhizhi, but Haywood pressed O'Neal to get the rebound, and then scored a second layup......
Jackson, who was shocked when he saw this, immediately called a long timeout, which is a clear signal that O'Neal's physical fitness has reached its limit, and this is only the first few minutes of the second half? When did O'Neill's fitness become so bad?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, O'Neal's physical reserves are really not much left, and the Western Conference semifinals are the final victory won by stepping on Duncan's body, against Duncan, if you say that you can easily win, who believes this?
Next is a seven-game bloody battle, a difficult victory over the Kings, not to mention the lucky component of the Lakers, even the physical energy spent in this series of games is definitely enough for a player like O'Neal to drink a pot of rest for half a season, and the next six dark battles with the Wizards, who is O'Neal against?
Oakley, the muscle monster, and Kwame Brown, the little monster.
These two people are really opponent-level existences for the huge O'Neal, and none of them are skinny, especially in the games that the Wizards specially targeted, Kwame Brown's outburst in the sixth key game, coupled with the Wizards' iron-blooded defense in the first half, the face of Oakley, and the honor, under the pressure of teammates, O'Neal's active play in the first half......
Together, O'Neill is a prehistoric monster-level inner bird of prey, and he definitely can't withstand the group attack of a group of monsters, don't forget, what is the reason for Kwame's injury, that is because the outbreak in the sixth game is too fierce, and this outburst is also related to O'Neal's physical decline.
Thinking of this, Jackson couldn't maintain his stable demeanor anymore, and actively wanted to find other ways.
"O'Neal definitely can't play now, the next thing is to play the small lineup, the Lakers are going to face the toughest moment, by the way, O'Neal will be like that, but what about the others?"
The obvious exhaustion on the faces of Horry, Fox, and Fisher also entered Jackson's eyes at this moment.
Thinking of this, Jackson looked at the players of the Wizards who were sitting and resting on the court in the first half, and saw that they were all neatly dressed, with their heads bowed, and they cooperated with the assistants to do various sports, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Is the Wizards' desperate effort waiting for me here? Fortunately, if there was no Kobe, I would have surrendered, but looking at Kobe's energetic appearance, at least there was no problem in this game, now I can only let Kobe Bryant go on the court to bite the score, and then decide the winner at the end of the fourth quarter, and now it is the turn of our Lakers to put down the arrogance in their hearts and carry out crazy defense. ”
……
"From now until the end of the third quarter, it's our final battle of the season, boys, the Lakers can't afford to underestimate you anymore, they're going to play to their full strength...... Now it's time for us to win! ”
Collins didn't say anything about tactics during the long timeout, but just said it very confidently and seriously.
