Chapter 422: A Shark More Powerful Than History
(Shark has always been a superstar that the fisherman admires very much, this is not only his strength, but also his mind, although recently the shark has always despised Warcraft and said something that looks down on Warcraft, but in the fisherman's heart, the most dominant guy in the league basket is still a good person, especially in the first Yao Shark War, when this was almost the focus of the whole world, the shark also said a lesson to Yao Ming, and after the game started, he despised Yao Ming in various ways, At the beginning, he actually used his not strong face frame attack to hit Yao Ming several times in a row, and the final result can be imagined, the first person in the league was ruthlessly attacked by Yao Ming, and then the big shark blew up Yao Ming with his back in the following game, I remember that at that time, this big guy was dunked under the attack of Yao Ming and Griffin, at that time, the big shark was already in the late stage of his peak, but he was still extremely domineering, if it wasn't for the super god of the big god to play, the final win of that game was definitely the Lakers, In the end, Yao Ming will not be given a chance to dunk and kill, of course, in the end, the big shark still gave Yao Ming a sincere hug after the game, and then this big guy also became friends with Yao Ming, for Ao Fat, if the league's first center can't show his domineering on the offensive end, it's no different from a role player, for Howard, maybe Ao Fat really looks down on the weakest first center in history from the bottom of his heart. It's just that now, there is no center who can dominate the game on the offensive end.)
"The atmosphere in the North Shore Garden was completely ignited, and everyone was already on their feet. It was such a great game that I don't think the best Hollywood writers could have imagined that the story would go on like this. It's one of the best games I've watched this season."
From the ABC commentary booth in the North Shore Gardens stands, Michaels stood up from his seat to the roar of the frantic Boston fans around him. At this time, Danny Angie and Magic Johnson next to him were also extremely excited, and they also did not expect such a situation in this game.
That big fat guy of the Lakers is super god!
"From now on, it seems that he has broken through the 'new' shark slashing tactic," Magic Johnson said with some joy as he looked at the big man on the court, while Danny Anji on the side nodded a little heavily.
In fact, the game began to change in the middle of the second quarter, when Arenas led the Boston Celtics bench players to chase back the score table, Zhuang Fei left Yao Ming, Xiao Ao and Kirilenko on the court. In fact, some people may be puzzled at the beginning, but when the game resumes, everyone understands.
Coach Z is ready to repeat O'Neal's old tricks, and in the six games between the Timberwolves and Lakers in the playoffs last season, except for O'Neal, he played extremely well in the first few games. In addition to the miracle of scoring 60+ points in a row, a new tactic was born that also shook the entire NBA, that is, a new tactic against O'Neal.
Although the current O'Neal has never won the NBA championship, this big fat man is indeed the NBA's hard-mouthed dominant player and the most inexplicable player, in the current NBA, almost every team is studying the strategy to deal with this big fat man, but no matter how the research is done, there is no result in the end, because as long as the fat man is willing, he can do anything, except for the old Nelson of the Mavericks, who once made a good effect. In addition to the shark cutting tactics, others can only wait to see Ao Fat's mood, this guy gets a few points more when he is in a good mood, and a few points less when he is in a bad mood. But that was last season. Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves cracked O'Neal's invincible aura, and also broke the Lakers' triangle offense by the way, and Zhuang Fei's three-inside defensive tactics were also called 'trapped shark tactics' or 'new shark cutting tactics' by some media experts, Wang Zhizhi, Garnett and Xiao Ao's top two co-defense made O'Fat and the Lakers' offense almost completely paralyzed, and the no-fly zone below the free throw line composed of these three has been praised by many NBA experts so far. And the last two games of the series, Ao's chubby and embarrassed figure also made many Lakers fans feel unusually sad. …,
Although Zhuang Fei came up with this 'new shark cutting tactic', it is not an easy tactic to popularize just like the 'umbrella tactic' he made, this tactic has high requirements for players, first of all, it needs a character who can withstand Ao Fat for a while, and the only league that can do this is the Wallace of the Grizzlies. The Timberwolves' Wang Zhizhi, as well as the Heat's Mourning, the 76ers' Mutombo and a few others, of course, this time you have to add Yao Ming, being able to withstand Ao Fat is just the most basic condition, in addition to this condition, the team also needs two interior lines with excellent defensive ability, these two interior auxiliary defense ability is not only excellent, but also movement speed, awareness of assisting in the defense, and the ability to read the game is also extremely strong, such players are also extremely rare throughout the NBA, Maybe there are fewer people than the previous ones who can withstand Ao Fat, so this is a tactic for many teams that can only be seen but not learned, of course, this tactic just provides a way for many teams to deal with the Lakers' triangle offense led by Ao Fat, although many teams can't do as well as the Timberwolves, but it also creates a lot of trouble for the Lakers and Fat Ao, For example, some teams have a very good center, but when the wings are missing, they can be replaced by two outside players with good physical fitness, and they do not suffer in terms of speed, although the effect is far worse than that of the Timberwolves, but it is much better than the previous method of dealing with Ao Fat, so after this season, Ao Fat is actually much more difficult than last season, at least in terms of the number of shots, the Lakers' interior line has decreased a lot, This is one of the reasons why the Lakers have lost four of the 28 games this season, and if it were last season, the Lakers only lost four of their 55 games, which is more than double the difference.
So in this game, when Zhuang Fei came up with the trapping shark tactic, the Lakers head coach on the sidelines immediately changed his face. Although he doesn't believe that the Boston Celtics can do as well as the Timberwolves, he has an instinctive fear of Zhuang Fei. This Chinese will definitely pursue the best effect as long as he wants to do something, and he will definitely not use it if he does not have the best effect.
So at the beginning of the middle of the second quarter. The Boston Celtics surprised everyone, especially those fans who thought that the Boston Celtics could not replicate the success of the Timberwolves, because that Kirilenko actually succeeded in replacing Garnett's tactical position, at least in terms of trapped shark tactics, the Russian rookie's defensive choice has been no worse than Garnett, although his height difference is a big part of Garnett, but the all-round forward's arm span of more than 7 feet 2 is enough to make up for this gap. Even this guy is a lot better than Garnett in terms of movement speed.
So when Zhuang Fei sacrificed this tactic, everyone on the Lakers bench was stunned, most of these people are veteran players who experienced the pain of last season, and they certainly know what the worst outcome is. Originally, the Lakers were in a good situation now, but in the end, the Boston Celtics easily reversed the situation.
So in the next second quarter of the game, O'Neal immediately lost the courage of the first quarter, in the first quarter, this big guy can complete the explosive dunk score even in the face of Xiao Ao and Yao Ming's double attack, but it is obvious that the three and the two are completely different, in a sense, the combination of the Boston Celtics is not bad compared to the Timberwolves, and the slightly worse thing is that Yao Ming's movement ability is worse than Wang Zhizhi at that time, but as a big center sitting under the basket, His mobility is not demanding. So throughout the second quarter, O'Neal was completely dumbfounded. If it weren't for Kobe Bryant and Szzerbiak standing up on their own in the second quarter, the Lakers would have collapsed like they did against the Timberwolves last season. This is also thanks to the fact that the Boston Celtics' offensive ability is much worse than the previous Timberwolves, and now the Boston Celtics can defend the Lakers, but the scoring is not enough to throw the Lakers away, so the final halftime score is 54-50, and the Boston Celtics lead by 4 points. …,
Although Zhuang Fei successfully copied the Timberwolves' tactics, for O'Neal, he can work hard to break it, just like last season, in the face of the Timberwolves blockade, the Lakers boss has never sat back and waited for zero shots in the second quarter like today, he has worked hard.
Though. Zhuang Fei's 'trapped shark tactic' is very powerful, and it is naturally extremely strong to be able to trap the first center like that, but just like any tactic is theoretically cracked, the trapped shark tactic itself is no exception, as long as O'Neill can attack before the opponent's encirclement, and break through the defenders behind him before the opponent's three form a circle, then this tactic is not much use.
This method of cracking is very simple, in fact, it seems to be very simple, O'Neal's strongest weapon is to push with his back, and then push away the opponent's basket and dunk, this is O'Neal's invincible magic skill, but the only drawback is that it is easy to be surrounded when encountering players who can withstand themselves, and the speed of the offense is not fast enough, which is naturally no problem in the past, but in the face of trapped shark tactics, it is necessary to seek speed on the offensive end, whether it is passing or personal strong attack, speed is required.
So compared to the 'slow' of the back force, the attack of the front frame is naturally much faster, so when facing the Timberwolves last season, O'Neal was forced to use a lot of frame offense, but in the end it was even more embarrassing, although in the end Garnett and Xiao Ao could not form a circle, but the center of this league was a little weird' Wang Zhizhi's offensive efficiency is extremely low, although the offensive ability of the first center frame is also very good, but after all, this is not his strong point, his biggest weapon is the power behind his back.
Originally, everyone thought that O'Neal was shocked by the shadow of last season, and completely gave up his face frame offensive efforts, when the league's No. 1 center suddenly turned on his own offensive mode in the fourth quarter, and the way of offense was his face frame offense.
In the first three quarters, although Kobe Bryant and Szczebiak performed very well, the difference between the Lakers and the Celtics was also widening, and by the time Fat returned to the court, the difference in the game had reached 10 points for the first time.
At this time, when the Lakers' head coach Phil Jackson almost gave up the game, the big fat man who had been 'sleeping' after the second quarter suddenly became powerful.
"This guy's face frame ability is not a little bit stronger than last season, and this guy has also learned to use his own strength when he attacks in the face frame, it's too terrifying" Zhuang Fei watched Ao Fat force break through Yao Ming face-to-face when he dunked and scored before Kirilenko and Xiao Ao came, and there was a wry smile on his face, although the Boston Celtics are still idle in the score, it is obvious that the game is back to the side of the Lakers again.
"Coach, there were some news reports this summer that this guy invited Abdul-Jabbar to teach him to attack in the face frame, originally I thought it was impossible with this guy's character, how could he be so diligent, but now it seems that this thing is true" Steve Green next to Zhuang Fei also sighed and said, and Zhuang Fei shook his head again, it seems that this big shark was completely humiliated by himself and the Timberwolves in the playoffs last season and has no way to raise his head, and he will actually practice hard in the summer.
"I just don't know why he didn't use it in the previous game? Is it just to keep this one? Leave it to the last few minutes to complete the rescue of the team" Zhuang Fei thought in his heart, but when he saw this big shark suddenly looking at him viciously, Zhuang Fei understood. …,
This guy is here to disgust himself, this big man probably wants to see his victory when it is about to come and then lose it, Zhuang Fei used to play him like this, this big man who 'loves to hold grudges' is ready to get back from this game.
"It would be nice if our offense could be a little stronger, if the offense could be a little stronger, maybe this game could still be won" Zhuang Fei looked at the Ao Fat who was a little killing on the court and thought in his heart, although Ao Fat's current face frame offense has become much stronger, but in terms of offensive efficiency, it is still much worse than his back, if the Boston Celtics can have the offensive ability of the Timberwolves before, then this game can still be won, although the trapped shark tactics have no way to lock Ao Fat, But there are still great restrictions on him.
"But it's good that our young team can do this in such a short time" Zhuang Fei finally sighed in his heart, now the Boston Celtics are still much worse than some of the top teams in the league, not long ago they won the Grizzlies because of Yao Ming's shooting percentage, Yao Ming will definitely not have such good luck next time, and when he won the Timberwolves, it was because of a big problem with the team's rotation lineup, Now that the Timberwolves have brought in Johnson, the team's roster rotation is actually no problem. As for the current Lakers, they are even stronger than last season, because their team is stronger than last year.
"It seems that the Grizzlies are dangerous this year" Zhuang Fei actually thought of the Grizzlies when he thought of this, Zhuang Fei knew very well that Jerry West, the general manager of the Grizzlies, was built according to the 'trapped shark tactic' invented by the Timberwolves last season, Olajuwon and Battle were used to top, and Big Ben and Rasheed Wallace were used to assist in defense, but it is estimated that Jerry West did not think that Fat would practice an excellent faceframe offense this summer, and the Grizzlies do not have the offensive ability of the Timberwolves before.
"I didn't expect that I actually forced out a big shark that is stronger than history" (Welcome to your support, is my biggest motivation.) )
