There are really not many ways for the 76ers to use positional warfare against the Lakers. But there is one thing, and that is the pick-and-roll.

Blocking and dismantling is the most effective way to help Aaron face many positional battle masters, after all, the breakthrough of a single person in positional warfare is easy to be caught and broken ball, and blocking and dismantling is different, this simple and effective method can form a wall for Aaron instantly, so that Aaron has a moment of shooting space, so that Aaron can stuff the ball into the basket.

Allen also didn't disappoint the 76ers' players and fans.

The moment Rashid formed a pick-and-roll, Allen passed the defensive Fisher, then stood behind Rashid, stepped back, exited the three-point line, and scored a three-pointer. Opened the scoring for the team.

Such a three-point point was too morale-boosting, but Allen didn't stop too much, but chose to return quickly and shouted "Defend, defend!" to his teammates. ”

"Got it!" Luke plucked his ears, "Just guard against your own people!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Luke replied. After saying that, Luke also began to get serious.

Actually, to be honest, this Rick Fox opposite Luke is still good. Fox was one of the biggest names for the NC team in college, playing four seasons along with a group of future NBA stars, and captaining the team to the final four in 1991. He was drafted by the Boston Celtics with the 24th pick in the 1991 draft. With Larry Bird injured, Fox started as a rookie in his first game of the '91-92 season. In the 93-94, 95-96, and 96-97 seasons, Fox excelled in rebounding, scoring, assists, steals, and three-pointers. In his final season with the Celtics. He was the captain on the field.

But in the end, he chose to switch to the Lakers, the Celtics' sworn enemies. The main reason for joining the Lakers is not that the team offers the highest salary, but that he loves to play in Los Angeles as a dream movie star. Fox started that year and helped the Lakers reach the Western Conference Finals with his outstanding and well-rounded athletic talents.

The current Fox is no longer the boss of the Celtics back then, but Fox, as the Lakers' No. 3 star in addition to O'Neal and Kobe, still has some skills, first of all, his ball quotient is very good, as a forward. Don't be greedy. Shoot when it's time to shoot, pass the ball when it's time to pass, and never hesitate. Secondly, he defends well. As a veteran. And a general who came out of the iron-blooded Celts. The defense is pretty good, and finally, it's his life-saving stunt - the three-point shot. Rick Fox, who was born in 69, is now 32 years old, although he is at the peak of his golden life. But due to injuries and many other reasons, he can no longer run and jump as casually as he used to, but after such a long time, Rick Fox still learned a life-saving artifact, three-point shot. He shot 39.3 percent from three-point range in 2000-2001. In other words, for every ten three-pointers he shoots, nearly four will hit, and when someone is defending, this shooting rate is quite high!

Luke had to be guarded, but Luke's mission was more than that. Helping to defend Horace? Grant is also Luke's task, after all, Rashid has to carry the strongest center in the world with Big Ben, and that is the main task.

This is also the method that Larry came up with, borrowed from the NCAA.

As long as O'Neill arrives in the front court and has the ball in his hand, whoever is next to him, except for Allen, of course, must come over and wrap it, and it is best to knock the ball away so that O'Neill loses the opportunity to attack. At least not for him to score easily.

But this method is quite tiring, which is why NBA players are reluctant to use it, and this is the first quarter, and the first game of the Finals. It was hard work, but everyone did it.

However, the effect was still obvious, O'Neal scored obviously not so easily, and there were many mistakes.

But O'Neal deserves to be O'Neal, even if it is a three-person bag, he can still score, you see him, on the court, is not just a simple super center, but an all-round player, breaking, blocking, wonderful passing, dunking, making fouls (although it is not very useful), creating damage, omnipotent. Although O'Neal's physical exertion is relatively large, the Lakers' score is still rising.

Because of this situation, even Kenny Smith in the studio couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a duel between two teams, obviously O'Neal is playing against the 76ers alone!" ”

Since Kenny Smith saw it, then Phil Jackson, as a coach, must also see it.

But the Zen master is a very different kind of coach. Phil Jackson is the kind of coach who does nothing and lets the stars solve problems on the field instead of shouting and shouting.

And now the 76ers use this set of tactics is similar to the Jordan rule against Jordan back then, but Larry knows that Jordan's rule can only be used when Jordan has no helper, and once Jordan has helper, then this rule is useless.

But O'Neal is not Joe's helper, he is not active on the outside, he is good for passing, more often than not, O'Neal thinks he has the ability and confidence that he can score, so he does not choose to pass the ball and attack by himself. Playing like this gives O'Neill a considerable sense of accomplishment, but his body is also quite tired. Of course, Phil Jackson, who was sitting in the lounge area, also saw O'Neal panting. So before the second quarter was over, O'Neal was replaced.

"All right, Shaq," Phil Jackson said. "Come down and take a break, and we'll get back to it later!"

"Got it, Phil!" O'Neill took the towel and water from the team administrator behind him, and said as he drank it.

"How does it feel?" Phil Jackson asked.

"Pretty good." O'Neal certainly knew what Phil Jackson was asking. "I used to think that the two of them were not very good, but together it was really uncomfortable, and I guess many center forwards couldn't stand it, especially those power centers." O'Neill commented.

"Is it really worth that much?" Phil Jackson asked.

"Well, considering that their salaries add up to less than 15 million, it's worth a lot." O'Neill said.

"Well, since you've said so. But then again, Larry Brown is such a valuable center from there, what a discerning torch! Phil Jackson sighed.

"That's their manager and the uniform team, okay." O'Neill said.

"Well, that's true." Phil Jackson said, rubbing his chin. "Can you handle it?"

"Just kidding, I only gave 8 points of strength just now, can't you see it?" O'Neill said.

"Really? I think you've choked enough. Phil Jackson said.

"Of course it's true!" O'Neill stood up, "If I do my best and just take them down, do you believe it?" Unbelief? I'll go up and try it! O'Neill said eagerly.

"Alright, alright!" Phil Jackson hurriedly stopped O'Neill, "I believe it, I believe it, you can rest more now." It was not easy to "coax" O'Neill.

"You have to rest a little more now, you look at Kobe, now he has only scored two points, let him brush more on the court!" Phil Jackson said. "Also, don't be too lonely, you have to pass the ball more, you know?"

"Yes, yes. It's not like I don't want to pass it on! O'Neill said. You know I'm also a team player, but when they come around, I really don't have room to pass the ball, I can't pass it! ”

Phil Jackson also knew about this problem, but now he couldn't say it in a few words, so he didn't say it.

"Alright, Shaq, get some rest! By the way, put on your coat and be careful if you catch a cold! Phil Jackson patted O'Neal back to his place.

"Got it!" O'Neill put his coat on, "Don't mother-in-law!" ”

"Haha, I know, I won't say it!" Phil Jackson smiled and walked away. (To be continued......)
