Chapter 144: Phil's Gamble
readx; "During this time, Wallis Zebiak's performance was really good, coach, I didn't expect our lineup to be able to hold the Lakers' strong offense at a low level. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Huang Jun looked at the game on the field and said to Coach Brown next to him. The first half of this game has been going on for twenty minutes, and during the time that the bench lineup has been on the court, even the Lakers' main lineup has played very well. This made him secretly frightened, which he could not have imagined no matter how he thought about it.
Originally, he thought that the Lakers' main lineup was on the court, and they were about to play. He didn't think that this lineup on the court would be able to withstand the Lakers' offense. But that's the way it is, and now it's four minutes before the end of the first half. The score on the court was 53-40, and the Cavaliers led by 13 points at home, which is undoubtedly good news for the Cavaliers.
"yes, Wally's performance is outstanding, that's a goalscorer. Did you know that as long as a shooter finds a feeling, then it is very scary, although Wally is not as good as Ray Allen, but once he finds the feeling, then even Ray Allen may not be stronger than him. During this time, Wally's hand was very good, which is the main reason why this lineup on the court can withstand the Lakers' offense. While Battier has had a serious impact on Bryant on the defensive end, the most important thing is always Wally's three-point shooting, and if you hit two three-pointers, then you have to hit three two-pointers. So we never got caught up in the score. Mike Brown said with a smile.
"It's Wally again, and it's his fifth three-pointer of the game so far, and he's hit four three-pointers in the second quarter with the exception of one that came in the first quarter. Is this Wally possessed by Ray Allen? Or is Reggie Miller possessed? How could this time be so accurate. Hit five three-pointers, and it only took seven shots, which is a 70% shooting rate, which is really terrible. Barkley said excitedly as he watched Szebiak hit another three-pointer on the court.
"yes, Wally is going crazy in this game. I don't know what to say about the Cavaliers now, there's always a role player who comes up. If the Cavaliers in '07 could have this lineup, then they would never have lost to the Spurs. LeBron played hard in that series, but after all, one person couldn't play against a team. Didn't even win a single game. The on-site narrator said. There's no reason he shouldn't believe the Cavaliers can win this year's championship.
"Drop" the Lakers decisively asked for a timeout, and the game has fallen behind by 16 points so far, so that Phil Jackson doesn't know what to say. What he didn't expect in this game was that when the Cavaliers were resting during this period of time, the Cavaliers would have other players stand up, which he definitely didn't expect. Kobe Bryant and they all performed well, but he really didn't know what to say compared to such a perverted Szebiak. He really hated this damn shooter. But it can't be helped, who calls the shooters on their side don't have such a good feel.
"Wally, that's awesome. If it weren't for your three points, we wouldn't have been able to lead by so many points. Then you stay on the court, you keep running, and as long as you run to the point guard, then the team playmaker will definitely get the ball to you in the first place. Once the ball is in your hands and your chances are excellent, then you have no choice but to shoot. Make a decisive move, just like the excellent speed just now, you know? Brown immediately set up his tactics. Szczebiak has such a good three-point shot right now, and it would be a shame if he didn't take advantage of it.
"Coach, I know. You won't be disappointed. Szebiak nodded heavily and said, he naturally understood what the coach meant. During this time, he is equivalent to having unlimited power, although this is only short-lived, and it is also because he feels good. But that's enough, and he won't let his manager down. No matter what you say, you have to win this year's championship, although you are a high-paid and low-energy player in the eyes of everyone, but as long as you can play perfectly in this game, then you are worthy of this salary.
During this timeout, Brown didn't say much, just a few words. Everyone knows that the next tactic is simple, and that is to revolve around Wallis Zebiak. No one has an opinion on such a tactical arrangement. Because during this period of time, Szebiak's three-point hand is indeed very hot, such a feeling, no matter which coach comes to coach, then it will not be easy to let go, so around him to play some tactics, everyone feels that there is nothing wrong, on the contrary, it is very normal. Even the two absolute cores, Huang Jun and James, just listened to their coach's arrangement with a smile on their faces, and their faces were sincere smiles from beginning to end, and there was no change, no change at all.
When the game came back, Zeng Yu quickly advanced the ball to the halfcourt, and jumped up at half court directly outside the three-point line, that is, one step away from Huang Jun, and at the same time threw the basketball in his hand. It's a long-range three-pointer. Huang Jun didn't know what to say when he looked at all this, this was completely an unreasonable three-point shot. He really didn't know what to say in the face of such a sudden three-point shot, he never thought that on the stage of the finals, he would dare to attack like this, which he didn't expect at all.
"What's going on? It can't be a dizzy job, is it Phil's arrangement? Brown watched the basketball go straight into the Nets and whispered in confusion. He still knows more or less about this Zeng Yu, and it is absolutely impossible to shoot such an unreasonable three-pointer. Except that it was arranged by the opposing head coach, he really couldn't think of any reason. And this three-point shot actually got into the basket, I really don't know what to say. If he keeps scoring three-pointers, then he Brown can't do anything. Because such a three-point score is completely unexpected by everyone.
Phil Jackson over there also thought in his heart, "Hehe, Zeng Yu's three-point shot is very scary, although the shooting rate is not so stable, but as long as it is stable for a few minutes." Just chase the difference to single digits. In this way, as soon as he enters the second half, Mike will definitely lay out some defense about this kind of three-point shooting. "He was forced to do so, because if such a tactic fails, then there is no turning point for him in this game. You must know that just now, they have fallen behind by sixteen points in the score, if they miss, then the point difference is likely to be further opened by the Knights, such a method is completely a risky method, and it is also a ninety percent risky method.
Huang Jun didn't think much about it, he directly received the kickoff ball and rushed towards the half court quickly, but at the moment when he wanted to start, Kobe Bryant and Zeng Yu teamed up to appear in front of him, and the whole court was tight*, and it was also a double bag*. It all came so suddenly. No one thought it would be such a tactic, although Huang Jun didn't expect it, but his dribbling is really good, and it can be said that it is the top in the entire league. It was interspersed through the cracks of the people, and after the double bag, but just after he passed the double bag, two more people appeared in front of him.
"Two sets of double bags, Phil is this crazy? Didn't he know that Huang Jun's passing was excellent? Actually sent four people to defend one person? It's a mess. The commentator on the scene immediately spoke, and he was also shocked by all this in front of him, there have been so many games in the commentary game, and he has never seen this tactic used. This kind of tactic, once the basketball is successfully transmitted, then it must be an unsolvable offense. But now the Lakers are using such a risky tactic, which he didn't dare to think.
"Hehe, this is completely a gambling tactic, the previous gambling three-point offensive tactic, this time it is a gambling defense. You look at Kobe Bryant and Zeng's bag clip before. After the two failed to wrap up, they ran quickly to the front for the first time, they didn't have a back hand, but they were chasing, they wanted to play a time difference. As long as the two of them can rush to their own half of the court in the first time and quickly integrate into the defense, then they can still have time to defend.
The latter group of double bags is completely to delay time for Kobe Bryant and Zeng, because the previous double bags have been passed, so they don't expect them to successfully defend Huang Jun. This method is also helpless, and you see, there is a player in the back, if I am not mistaken, then this player is completely staring at Huang Jun on the side, to be precise, it should be staring at the basketball in Huang Jun's hand, as long as Huang Jun passes it out at the first time, then he will rush over as soon as possible, and then snatch this person down. Barkley said on the sidelines, such a tactic, a risky tactic is the first time he has seen it, you must know that it is only the first half, and there are still a few minutes to go after the end of the first half.
This is not the last moment of the game, so he doesn't know what to say about Phil's use of this risky tactic at this time, and can only think in his heart that Phil is an adventure expert. A famous coach deserves to be a famous coach.
