Chapter Eighty-Four: Jordan's Law

The atmosphere of the entire Thunder team was dreary, and no one knew how to say the first word, including the coach. It's only halftime, but the Thunder already feel like they've lost a game. That boy's ghostly figure has been wandering in his heart. He didn't even think that even if he was the top scorer in the league and the top offensive guard, he couldn't compare to a hairy kid who seemed to be subverting all the laws of basketball.

No one will always feel so good! Definitely not! Every coach will have a stubbornness, Scott? Brooks too.

Actually, Scott? Brooks still has one last tactic in mind - Jordan's Rule. Jordan's rule is simply a strategy of the Pistons against the Bulls back then: "let go of Jordan" and defend the other 4 people, even if Jordan has more and the 4 people score very low, the Bulls still lose. The core of Jordan's law in evolution is two seemingly contradictory essentials: 1. "Death defense Jordan". Multi-layered, multi-means, doing everything possible to disrupt Jordan's offensive rhythm and cut him off from his teammates; If you dare to come, I will dare to fight. 2. "Let go of Jordan", I really couldn't prevent Jordan, so I let him score, but completely choked the other point, causing Jordan to score no matter how many points he scored, he couldn't win. It is said that it was this law that made the Pistons' "Bad Boy Army" back then, and it also directly led to the 3 playoffs to sweep the Bulls with Jordan out of the playoffs, greatly delaying the pace of Jordan's championship.

But he also has some scruples. First, the standard of foul blowing in the league today is already very strict, and it is a big question whether the "Jordan Rule" can still be used; The second is that these players on their team can't find players like Ranbier, Dujon, and Thomas anyway, and it seems very difficult for them to complete the "Jordan's Rule"; The third is that Jordan in the early days of the year was more inclined to impact the inside line many times (Jordan only practiced an invincible back-to-back singles and jump shots in the later stage), and his lethality was often based on physical confrontation, and Lin Fei was a player known for his flexibility and lightness, and long-range shooting, and he would not give the defenders the opportunity to make physical contact with his players many times, which is the problem of applicability.

To Thunder coach Scott? Brooks' ideological struggle lasted no more than 20 minutes.

At the beginning of the second half, the Warriors' starting lineup was not bound, and it was still a backcourt combination of Lin Fei and Keynes. The Thunder team's offense, Wei Shao is still the same, looking at Lin Fei's position and breaking through hard, Lin Fei's footsteps can keep up, but at most it is a little interference. After all, Wei Shao is only the Thunder's first point of attack, and more often than not, he has to think about how to pass the ball to Durant, although his scoring ability is much better than his passing ability.

After a breakthrough, he quickly gave the ball to Durant, at this time it was Keynes who was on the court, Keynes was young and vigorous, and he watched Durant's movements, Durant signaled his teammates to come over to block and dismantle, and then a breakthrough went directly into the inside, Aix's defense, and Keynes jumped directly behind his back, and also planned to chase Durant a, although the distance was a little hit, Durant dodged directly in the air and hit a dunk. Keynes jumped too high and rushed too hard, and fell directly out of the court.

The exclamations of the audience seemed to indicate a strong rebound of the league's scoring champion, although his scoring in the first half was also decent, but there was still a little gap from the scoring champion who was constantly soaring and omnipotent in the minds of fans. and Keynes's enthusiasm, which can definitely make the fans in the stadium enthusiastic.

The Warriors attacked, Lin Fei ran quickly, there was a strange scene at this time, that is, two teammates were running in front, at this time Lin Fei was in the back, Lin Fei directly used the cover of his teammates, and ran to the 3-point line with one strength, at this time the scene in front of Lin Fei was that the two teammates lined up for themselves, how could this opportunity be missed, Lin Fei did not hesitate to shoot.

Scott? Brooks blindfolded himself with his hands, the unimaginable Lin Fei, the absolutely incredible Lin Fei.

However, this goal also made Scott, who was originally impatient? Brooks was sober, originally thinking that he could rely on his offensive and defensive balance to limit the Warriors, and rely on his own scorer to fight with Lin Fei, but according to the current situation, this move does not seem to be very effective. At this time, I can only try to use the "Jordan Rule", but I have not implemented it before, so it may not work, but I am also glad that I can test it at halftime and find the most effective method before the playoffs.

Scott? Brooks pauses and says to his teammates, "Do whatever it takes to stop that kid's shot!" All the way! You know, right? In other words, we don't even hesitate to foul, foul know, right? You can't let that kid shoot easily, but even if it's a foul, you have to be careful not to blow the foul as much as possible! At the same time, you try to control the activities of the four people except for that kid as much as possible, I still believe that the kid's physical strength is limited after all, I rarely find that the kid can play the whole half, this is defense, and offense, you have to keep trying to get close to the basket, keep getting closer. Go ahead! This is our last hope! I believe in you, boys! A lot of people are confused, but they all know that the coach keeps emphasizing "that kid".

"Jordan's Rule?" A player asked.

β€œyes!” Scott? Brooks answered this question in the affirmative.

On the court, at this time, Durant is facing two surpassed, one is the crisis of the team, and he is still more than a dozen points behind, and Lin Fei is getting closer and closer to him on the scoring list.

At this time, Durant held the ball at a 45-degree angle of the 3-point line on the left side, facing the defense of Keynes, this time he did not ask his teammates to come over to block and dismantle, he forgot to glance at the basket, and those who are familiar with it know that now this scoring champion is going to turn on the "Durant mode" and keep scoring! Score.

He shook, Keynes's footsteps moved slightly, at this time Durant rushed directly to advance, Keynes followed up, Durant in the face of Jobs's defense, directly a change of direction to retreat, drifting in the shooting, at this time Keynes desperately to block, at this time Durant is so smart, directly put his arm to Keynes's hand and made a foul! However, because of the foul, when Durant shot, the ball was slightly deflected and missed.

Penalty kick! Two free throws and two hits.

Durant's score, Lin Fei saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
