Chapter 130: Learning to block and dismantle
Oku took a step, and the ball in Billups's hand immediately flew out of his hand at high speed like a cannonball, shooting straight towards the hoop. Chamberlain's legs flicked, the whole person soared like a cloud, flew up to catch the ball with both hands, and smashed it downward, only to hear the muffled sound of the hoop, and a beautiful aerial relay was born.
Billups gave Chamberlain a thumbs up, and the latter rushed up to him and gave him a chest-bump salute, exclaiming, "Well passed!" ”
Although it was Chamberlain who scored, Billups was happier in his heart, it is the dream of every playmaker to work with a dominant interior line like Chamberlain, and it will be easy to play with this kind of person, you just need to seize the opportunity to throw the ball to the hoop, and after the ball is close to the hoop, you can hand over the rest to the other party and let him do it.
From Chamberlain, Billups saw a strengthened version of Kemp, Rain Man Sean Kemp.
Sean Kemp was one of the NBA's toughest guys in the '90s, known for his ferocious style, crazy dunks and domineering rebounds, and he led the SuperSonics to the Finals against Jordan's Bulls, and they tangled with the Bulls in six games in that series.
Chamberlain's style is even more ferocious than Kemp's, and his rebounding ability is even more than Kemp's, and with Billups' help, his power on the offensive end has also begun to show. The difference between having a good point guard and not having one is huge.
Billups's pass to Chamberlain was regarded as an accident by Boozer and others, and when he attacked again, Billups faced DeLong's pressing, and he deceived DeLong with two large changes of direction in a row, and rushed inside with the ball.
Seeing Billups rushing into his own territory without looking, Oku and Boozer surrounded him at the same time with a fierce look in their eyes, and it seemed that if Billups entered their encirclement, let alone break through, it was a matter of whether he could leave alive.
Sloane, who was sitting on the bench, stood up suddenly, and he yelled anxiously: "Go back and see that rookie No. 0 die...... Shit! ”
As soon as Oku and Boozer pulled out the inside line, Billups raised his hand to pass the ball without saying a word, Chamberlain received the ball, jumped on the spot, grabbed the ball with one arm and pulled it straight to the back of his head, like a spinning windmill, only to see his arm turn forward forcefully, and dunk the ball into the hoop with a bang.
The second general of the jazz glared, Sloan didn't dare to underestimate the two new combinations of Billups and Chamberlain, so he hurriedly called a timeout and gathered his disciples to his side, he patted the tactical board and shouted: "AK, you go and keep an eye on Billups, Oku and Boozer, take care of that damn No. 0, you must watch him!" As long as he's restrained, we'll win half of the game. ”
Nelson Sr. was also clapping the tactics: "Definitely won't give Z another chance later, so you know what to do, right?" ”
Billups wiped his sweat with a towel and said succinctly, "The ball will be in the right person's hands." ”
Old Nelson nodded in satisfaction, patted the new disciple and shouted, "Go, boys, tell the other teams that their nightmare has come!" ”
At the start of the game again, Oku was really inseparable from Chamberlain, Billups tentatively passed the ball in, Chamberlain turned back and hit, he hit Oku vigorously, and the steel shoulder knocked the Turk into a bleak face. Boozer saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly came up to wrap the bag, Chamberlain put away the ball and feigned a layup, but the feint was seen through by Boozer, and he had to pass the ball back to Billups.
The defender of Billups was replaced by Kirilenko, the Russian's defense is absolutely top in the NBA, if it weren't for the fact that he was the Soviet, the long-time rival of the United States, I am afraid he would have won the best defensive player, he can defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and he is an excellent master of outside defense.
Billups didn't continue to attack the familiar old opponent, and after finding out that the Jazz were focusing on Chamberlain, he passed the ball to Petrus.
The Jazz launched a 2-3 joint defense, Boozer and Oku sat on the inside to block Chamberlain, and the outside line was a three-man rotation.
Petrus got the ball and drew Brewer to pass it to Ellis again. Ellis didn't hesitate to get the ball and immediately jumped and shot.
The basketball hit the iron, Boozer jammed Chamberlain, and Oku grabbed the rebound.
Delon took the ball to the front court and gave Boozer a look, Billups took a step to scare the little chubby, Delon immediately took a step back but passed the ball at the same time, Boozer did not attack after receiving the ball, but took a step, and Delon killed him like a whirlwind.
Boozer passed the ball to Delon, who took two quick steps to get the ball and threw it out with his arm from far away from Chamberlain.
Delon's attacking ability is still quite strong, the ball goes into the frame, and Chamberlain's block has no effect.
Billups signaled Petrus to serve quickly, and when he got the ball, he advanced at an unprecedented speed, Chamberlain followed him, and when he arrived in the frontcourt, Billups immediately hit the ball and passed to Chamberlain, who hit the periphery of the penalty area at this time, and he took three steps after receiving the ball, and his strong and slender body rushed into the penalty area with a ghostly momentum, and dunked violently.
Oku's defense was ineffective, and he stayed behind Chamberlain, only to watch him fly up and dunk.
Chamberlain came up and high-fived Billups, who pulled him and whispered, "I'll let go of that little fat man in the next round, and you can see how he and Boozer work together, and then we'll keep doing this for the rest of the game, isn't the Utah going to lock you up?" Hmph, they underestimate me so much! ”
Chamberlain responded, and after the switch of attack and defense, he did not rush to fight for the position with Oku, but looked at DeLong carefully.
Billups said that he was letting go of Delon, but in fact it was a tactical release, and he went up to press the latter, and Delong was not afraid of pressing, and the blocking tactics were specifically to break the press.
After protecting the ball, Delon pushed Billups forward as much as he could, forcing Billups to retreat near the 3-point line, which he did so that Boozer, who was floating in the free throw area, could quickly come and 'block'.
Boozer lived up to his expectations, and Billups' pressing was seen as a rush to get him up, and he immediately picked it up and jammed Billups. At the moment when Boozer came up to stand still, DeLong suddenly increased his speed with the ball, and he decisively broke through behind Boozer.
This is the 'block', and then the 'dismantling' begins. DeLong's breakthrough attracted Petrus's attention, DeLong didn't give the latter a chance to pester him, and quickly broke forward with the ball, Boozer shook off Petrus, immediately turned back and stuck Billups, and then moved from the wing to the basket, ready to receive the pass.
In this way, the power of the pick-and-roll comes out, and within a small range, the Jazz's opponent is in a dilemma: if Petrus, who was eyeing Boozer at the beginning, runs to make up for Deron and does it now, then Delon can pass the ball to Boozer, who is much higher than Billups, and can use his mid-range shooting skills to prepare for the score. And Billups is still behind him, he can easily score a layup, and if Petrus is still eyeing Boozer, then the Jazz have more opportunities, and Deron's mid-to-long range shooting can definitely kill the Warriors crying.
Delon passed the ball to Boozer, who paused slightly after getting the ball, stabilized his upper body and made a jumper, scoring two points accurately.
Billups gave Chamberlain a look, and the latter wiped the sweat from his hands, ran up after serving and whispered, "My mid-to-long-range shooting may not be so deterrent." ”
Billups rolled his eyes and said, "Your advantage is much stronger than that Humpty Dumpty, why bother with mid-range shots?" I won't let you cover me in a high position, after blocking it, you will directly attack the basket, fly directly, the higher the better! ”
Chamberlain suddenly realized, Billups accelerated abruptly, but did not attack rashly when he got to the frontcourt, he fell back between Jackson and Petrus, and got the ball again after the last time, and by this time he had reached the penalty area on the flank.
In this process, Billups was waiting for Chamberlain to settle down, and when he saw the latter standing firm under the basket, his leg muscles began to tense.
Billups followed Billups vigilantly, Chamberlain suddenly rushed up and stuck Delon directly, Billups did not run to the basket like Delon did, but retreated sideways, looking up at the hoop as he retreated.
Oku was in a hurry and could only run out of the box to make up for Billups.
At this moment, Sloane's face, who had been standing on the sidelines, suddenly changed greatly, and he could almost be said to be dead. Old Nelson was the opposite, he stood up with his fist and yelled, "Son of a bitch, just do it, you two stinky boys are a fucking natural pair!" ”
Oku exited the penalty area, the ball in Billups' hand flew to the hoop, Chamberlain shook off DeLong and rushed into the penalty area, like a rocket that was fired, he bent his shoulders sideways to the sky, his feet stepped on the floor and flew up, and there was no obstacle in front of him after catching the ball, no two words, dunk fuck!
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the hoop began to shake violently.
Sloan yelled at Kirilenko next to him, "What are you looking at? Don't let Delon go against that damn Detroitman, you defend, you keep an eye on him personally, so he can't catch the ball! ”
Kirilenko nodded hurriedly, but he was sneering in his heart, aren't you going to take the little bunny and that anti-bone boy as a baby? Aren't you trying to replicate the pick-and-roll miracles of Stockton and Malone? There is a kind of you rely on these two guys to fight the world, this time I know that they are not reliable?
No wonder Kirilenko is selfish, he has the NBA's top physical fitness, and he also has a top ball quotient, and his ability is not to say anything about offense and defense. Ben came to the Jazz, he was cultivated as a core role, but since Sloan drafted Delon in 2004, his status on and off the court has been greatly reduced, and he has not been less than a day or two for this.
Even if Kirilenko made his own shot, Billups still mixed near the inside, this time he didn't pass the ball, Sloan is a ruthless character, and he saw the only flaw in this tactic at a glance, that is, Chamberlain had to fall into position and Billups had to pass the ball before cooperating, as long as Kirilenko followed him and let him pass the ball and then there was no chance to return to receive the ball, then this set of tactics was over.
The problem is that Billups is one of the top point guards in the NBA, and he can still get to the basket without passing the ball himself.
Oxlade-Chamberlain came out to block Kirilenko again, Billups broke through the vacancy, and Oku was stunned, and he was in a hurry and didn't know whether to go out to make up for the defense or stick to the penalty area.
Billups helped him make a choice, and after pulling out the open space, he immediately put away the ball and was about to jump, and Oku subconsciously went out to make up for it.
The ball shot, "Boom!" With a loud bang, Oku looked back and saw a No. 0 jersey fluttering behind him like a battle flag!
