'You're going to defend against Stockton and it's a very difficult opponent to play against. Luke said to Raja.

"I know that." Raga said. "He's very strong defensively, especially the steals......"

"That's not what I'm talking about." Luke shook his head and said, "You know, although Stockton's defensive ability is indeed strong, it is not as good as Gary Payton. What matters is his offense. Although his breakthrough is not as quick and gorgeous as Allen, he is very useful, especially the breakthrough ball, and Karl Malone will definitely catch it. You have to guard against Stockton, but you have to master a degree. You know, it was because the 'Smiling Assassin' was defending too much that he was directly elbowed by Ma Long. So be careful. ”

"I know, Luke, I'll be careful, thank you." Raga said.

"Okay, everybody, I'll tell you how to play in the second half." Larry spoke.

When everyone had gathered around, Larry continued. "Pick-and-roll is a very old tactic. This is a general term for a variety of screen coordination, that is, a method of cooperation in which players create catch-and-shoot or secondary offensive opportunities in the process of covering each other. Blocking and dismantling is actually a very simple basketball tactic, which means blocking and dismantling. Excellent pick-and-roll tactics are also highly spectacle-oriented. Malone and Stockton's pick-and-roll cooperation is known as a classic, because blocking and pick-and-roll not only requires a certain tactical literacy and overall view, but also requires a high degree of tacit understanding between players. Larry paused here and then added, "Pick-and-roll tactics are ever-changing, I can't give you all the options, and time doesn't allow it right now, so let's just say three easy ways." Method 1: Delay. The essence of this strategy is that the defender of the "wall" player should delay the offensive ball carrier in time to help his teammates buy time to get home. And all you have to do is go up and delay. If the delay is successful, then the player blocked by the "wall" can keep up with the player with the ball. The two defenders then have to quickly find the players they should be targeting.

Method 2: Circumvent the defense. You need to anticipate the defence. To put it simply, when you see that the opponent has a tendency to "make a wall", you must be prepared to bypass the "wall", and if you can use speed and direction to bypass the "wall" that has not yet been "built", you can keep up with the attacking ball carrier and crack the opponent's blocking and dismantling tactics. If that doesn't work, switch to other tactics.

Method 3: Change the guard. Switching is easier to perform than the first delaying tactic and is the most used method in a general game. The idea of this tactic is to switch on the spot - the player blocked by the "wall" player does not have to chase his original defender, but instead defends the "wall" player; It turns out that the defender "made the wall" player changed to the defender with the ball. However, the disadvantage of switching defenses is that it may cause misplaced defense, so that the opponent has the opportunity to misplace singles. Especially if the opponent is Ma Long, the misplaced single is very scary, so Tony Kukoc, wait a minute for you to play small forward, if there is a misplaced single you go to make up for it, let Raga go to defend the forward Starks. You know? Larry said.

"I understand, Coach." "I'm going to get this done." ”

"And Raga, Luke, you two are in charge of defense, remember to defend well, don't make a mistake. Big Ben is up to you, and I'm sure you'll be able to blow up Polines. Larry continued. No problem! ”

"Finally, it's Aaron." Larry sighed and said, "They're all focused on defense, and we'll leave it to you to score, and while defense will win, it's a scoring game after all......," Larry said.

"Don't worry, Larry, you don't know me." "I couldn't defend and I had to make up for it with scoring. Isn't that the same tactic now? ”

"Okay, but that's all for this one, I don't want you to go back to the old way. You know, we've had a hard time getting to this point this year. Larry said.

"Got it, got it, that's it." Aaron said impatiently.

"Alright, everyone is ready, then, let's play!" Larry spoke.

"Let's go, brothers, go up and kick their ass!" Aaron said.

“go!” The whole army of 76 attacked.

Back on the court, the Utah Jazz lineup is still the same as it was at the beginning, with Malone, Stockton, Russell, Starks and Polines. But the 76ers traded for Raga, Allen, Tony Kukoc, Luke, and Big Ben.

The Jazz didn't jump to the ball in the first quarter, and it was them who kicked off this half.

Since it was a backcourt serve, Karl Malone chose to wait directly in the front court.

"Boy, come and play power forward, I wasn't abused enough last time." Karl Malone said mockingly.

"Joke," Luke said, taping to Karl Malone, "do you think I'm going to be helpless?" ”

"Oh, little friend, if your father came in his heyday, I might still be afraid, but you, forget it." Malone continued.

"If you don't believe me, you can try." Luke said indifferently.

"I really want to try it." Karl Malone said, but looked back and said, "But forget it now." I've got something to do, I'll come back later. With that, Carl Marlone went out.

In such an obvious way, it is impossible for Luke not to understand. It's nothing more than going out to Stockton to block and dismantle.

But Luke is not afraid, the 76ers are ready, and Luke is ready.

As usual, Karl Malone came over to help Stockton block the pick-and-roll. In front of the powerful Karl Malone, the emaciated Raga was directly squeezed out. Stockton passed Raga with ease.

According to the old habits, Karl Malone should also be on the way, and now Tony Kukoc, who is defending Starks, has rushed over to make up for it, although Tony Kukoc does not defend Starks, but Raga also happened to rush over and fill in the position. So Stockton did the same way as usual, passing the ball directly to Karl Marlon, who was already attacking, and Karl Malone also burst in with the ball as usual.

Karl Malone and Stockton are a very good pair of court partners, but also a pair of very good friends, the two are very acquainted, Karl Malone likes his passing the most, although it is not flashy, but it is very comfortable, just like the passing of Nash in later generations (but now he is not very good). Malone was about to go to the basket when he bumped into a man. And then......

"Beep-"
