Two Hundred and Forty Two Chapters Finals Scene 6 4
Back-to-back offense refers to a 1VS1 offensive style in which a basketball player plays a 1VS1 single with his back to a defender close to the basket.
A lot of players don't like this kind of offense, such as Allen and Marbury, they like to force their way through the opponent's defense and score inside.
But some of them are different, they like to attack with their backs, first and foremost O'Neal. The unparalleled back muscles combined with strength gave him the possibility to blow up all the inside lines. You don't have to be in vain.
Of course, to be honest, the best players in the history of the league to attack with their backs are the players who entered the league in 1984.
The first was the selection of Charles Barkley by the Philadelphia 76ers with the fifth pick in the first round in 1984, and his back-to-back play was unmatched, so that the league had to come up with the famous "Charles Barkley Clause" rule to limit him; The second is Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball" who was selected by the Chicago Bulls with the third pick in the first round in 1984, and his later back-to-back turnover jumper is unbreakable; Finally, Hakim, who was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the first pick in the first round in 1984? Olajuwon, the Nigerian who was very physically fit, hit his back ...... Does anyone dare to let him turn his back? I believe that except for Anthony Mason Jr., who has thoroughly studied Olajuwon, there are not many people who can guard against Olajuwon who has turned his back, and the other three of the four centers are all washed rhythms, and even super defensive centers like "Big Zuo" Alonzo Mourning and "African Mountain" Uncle Mu have nothing to do with Olajuwon, because no one knows where Olajuwon's next will be. Whether it was a breakthrough, or a feigned turn, a step-back jumper, or a sideways hook, was completely unpredictable.
But Luke's back style is also different from theirs, a defender's approach. Of course, it wasn't Joe's rollover jumper, after all, Luke hadn't been taught by Joe's guy personally, and he couldn't learn this thing, Luke was learning a different version. Version from Maddie.
Maddie is an all-round player. Scoring, ball control, rebounding, defense you can't do it all.
Especially possession and scoring. In the days when the Magic didn't have Glenger Hill anymore. Maddie single-handedly lifted the whole team. This also allowed him to get a workout on quite a few occasions. Especially the ability to score when the opponent is fully marked.
This was very common in later generations, and sometimes it was often two people who took turns defending Maddie and disrupting Maddie's rhythm. But Maddie is still the top scorer.
And that's what Luke learned.
But Luke made a small change. For Luke, Maddie's all-hands-on style of playing still can't be learned, and Luke prefers to use his own way of shooting. The forearm is at a 90-degree angle to the back arm, the direction of the elbow should be in a straight line between the basket, and then use the strength of the wrist to push the ball out, of course, like Maddie, Luke's turn is quite fast, and it is completed in an instant, and Brian Shaw does not react at all.
"Huh!" The basketball got into the hoop.
"Good shot!" Luke clenched his fists secretly.
After Luke hit a three-pointer, the 76ers quickly stepped back. Waiting for the Lakers' offense.
The Lakers were driven to the front court with Ron Haber in control of the ball.
Now the Lakers are the real triangle offense. The outside point guard and point guard and the inside center are the core, and they start to run non-stop. The triangle offense requires players to maintain a distance of 15 to 20 feet at all times, with precise spacing to try to pull the opposition apart. But the 76ers are not afraid. The 76ers went on a 1-3-1 defense. The advantage of this joint defense is that it can effectively apply defensive pressure to the high post and the perimeter, and it leaves room for the use of inside wraps. It just restrained the Lakers' offense.
Time waited for no one, 24 seconds passed quickly, and the Lakers hurriedly made a move to strike iron.
The 76ers immediately served from the baseline and switched to a fast break. Luke's dribbling to the front court was a three-pointer.
But at this point, Luke played the touch that he didn't play in the first quarter, and the ball went in again.
Scoring two three-pointers in a row, so that even the strongest three-point player is rare. Ron Haber looked at Phil Jackson and saw that he didn't call a timeout and give orders, but let the Lakers' players play on their own. So Ron Haber didn't say anything and went on the offensive. Ron Haber still chose to pass the ball to Brian Shaw, who realized that there was really no way to get away from Luke's defense, so he gave the ball to the inside. This time, the Lakers chose to play inside.
Hores Grant on the inside has been waiting for a long time, and Hores Grant, who is fully skilled on the inside, doesn't care much about Ocella Hanington on the defensive at all. After all, his strength is more than a cut above the strength of Ocella Hanington who defends him.
After a simple couple of fluffs, Horesgrant hit with a small hook. Add two points to the Lakers.
The Lakers quickly stepped back to keep the 76ers offensive.
As soon as the 76ers, who originally wanted to sneak attack, saw the speed of the Lakers' retreat, Reed immediately chose to slow down and slowly organize the offense.
But Luke didn't want to slow down, and Luke knew that time was running out. Arriving at the frontcourt, Luke directly signaled Reed to pass the ball, and Reed didn't say much and directly stuffed the ball over. Luke, who received the ball, didn't say a word, jumped up and threw the ball.
Defending him, Brian Shaw didn't even have a reaction before he heard the sound of the ball coming into the frame behind him, and it was still three points.
Seeing this scene, even Phil Jackson, who was not shocked, couldn't sit still!
In less than two minutes, Luke made three consecutive three-pointers, which was incredible, and Phil Jackson made a decisive choice to call a timeout to cool down Luke's hand.
"Well done!" Larry said when Luke returned to the court. "Three points is good! And that's how you do it? ”
"Of course!" Luke said. "This is the fastest way to defeat them!"
"Okay, then keep up the good work later!" Larry said.
"Yes!"
It was a 20-second timeout that ended quickly, with Phil Jackson replacing Brian Shaw and allowing Bryant to go up and play for a while.
The Lakers attacked, this time on the inside, and Horres Grant scored two more points.
Offense and defense were exchanged, and the 76ers attacked again, because Luke's hand was hot before, Reed handed the ball to Luke without thinking about it. As soon as the ball reached Luke's hand, Kobe Bryant came to the defense. The movements of the hands are not very clean.
Usually in this case, Maddie will hold the ball in one hand. With the other hand, the players are pushed away to create opportunities for their own offense, and such a move will not be whistled for a foul.
But today it's different. When Luke made this move, Bavita's whistle continued. Luke fouled on offense and pushed! Ball Swap!
"What!" When Luke heard the news, his face immediately darkened.
It's really aimed at me today! Not to mention this offensive method in the highly competitive playoff arena, even in the ordinary regular season, it would not blow a penalty, and now it is at this time that the foul is blown. Thinking of the previous game, Luke was forced off the court because of fouls in less than three minutes, and even Luke, who had a very good temper, couldn't stand it. Luke tried to find a referee theory, but Ridra stopped him.
"Luke, forget it, don't talk much today!" Reed grabbed Luke tightly.
"yes, yes," Brian came over, "calm down!" Luke, you can't afford to foul anymore now! ”
"Luke!" Tyrone Hill also came over. "You have to be careful, you are being targeted by the referees, don't offend them, you see they are waiting for you to go up and theorize now, and then let you suffer!"
Luke turned his head to look at Bavita, who blew for his foul, and he blew for Luke's three fouls today! This made Luke very angry, especially now that he looked like it was none of his business. And there was a sneering expression in his eyes, as if to say, "Come on, come on, if you dare to come, I will dare to send you off!" ”。 This made Luke want to punch him directly in the face. But Luke held back. Luke knew now was not the time. (To be continued......)
