In the NBA, players like tonight are definitely one of the favorite sports for fans.

But at the end of the day, basketball is still a team sport.

After all, even if Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in a single game in the future, the Lakers would not be able to win without the other 41 points that the rest of the Lakers combined.

Larry Brown had a good idea for this game.

After Iverson's return, the 76ers had a consistent scoring point.

Therefore, as long as the 76ers can defend against the Wizards, he can use his defensive philosophy to teach Wang Shuo, an outlier, a good lesson.

But Larry Brown may not believe it.

As of now, the best defensive team in the East this season is not the Philadelphia 76ers he coaches.

It's the outlier in his eyes tonight, the Washington Wizards led by Wang Shuo.

No, no, no one really believes that he Wang Shuo is an offensive coach, right?

It is true that Wang Shuo likes to play better games, but when building the team lineup or recruiting assistants, Wang Shuo's priority has always been defense.

In fact, compared with Larry Brown, Wang Shuo is the real "pervert".

For example, when he played against the Celtics before, Wang Shuo enjoyed it very much, and these super wings in his team tortured Pierce on the field.

In the first quarter of the game, when Iverson was scoring points for the 76ers on the court, TNT TV, Barkley, who "doesn't understand the ball", noticed something strange first.

Admittedly, Iverson, who was on the rise, was unusually hot tonight.

But why did the 76ers ...... after half a quarter of this game?

But behind the Wizards?

On the court, the score was 15-13 at the time of the first official timeout.

In the first half of the first quarter, Iverson was 5-of-7 from the field and counted the free throws, totaling 11 points for the 76ers.

But his other four teammates only made 1 of 6 shots.

On the Wizards' side, although only one shot was hit in the last three shots, in addition to Arenas, who scored 8 points for the team, Jordan, Hamilton, and Artay all opened their scoring accounts in the game.

After the official timeout, Wang Shuo replaced Jordan and replaced Haywood and Gasol as the inside partner.

Although he knows that it is unrealistic to limit Iverson's breakthrough, in Wang Shuo's opinion, the Wizards can't always let Iverson get the same comfortable shooting opportunities under the basket as before.

On the court, the Wizards have the ball.

After Arenas blocked Gasol at the top arc, Gasol quickly went down.

In the three-second zone, Mutombo did not dare to slack off, and immediately stuck to Gasol.

But at the moment when Arenas dropped the ball, Gasol directly dialed the ball to Haywood, who had just replaced Jordan.

Haywood got the ball and slammed it with both hands!

Mutombo, who was about to turn around and serve the ball, wondered why Haywood was open under the basket.

And Coleman, who saw that he was dissatisfied, spread his hands very innocently.

Through God's perspective, TNT TV, Barkley reviewed the Wizards' tactics for the fans in front of the TV: "Actually, after Gilbert and Paul's blocking, the Wizards dismantled the 76ers' defensive system very easily.

Because after Allen lost his defensive position, the 76ers' wing had to have someone to delay Gilbert.

But in this way, the other side of the 76ers is bound to have a situation of playing less locally.

Brandon is the only player on the Wizards who is less of an offensive threat, so it won't be difficult for the 76ers to make a choice in that moment. ”

In Barkley's view, there is nothing wrong with the 76ers' defensive handling just now.

The real problem lies in......

Gasol's swift and clever flick on the way down.

Unlike O'Neal, who prefers to stay in the low post, the Lakers in Wang Shuo's memory during the "Sister-in-law" period are not as dominant as the "OK" period, but in a sense, the Lakers in the "Sister-in-law" period are really playing the triangle offense.

If you have been fortunate enough to watch the Lakers in these two periods, it is not difficult for you to find that the Lakers in the "OK" period, the role players did not run on the court as much as in the "Sister-in-law" period.

Because O'Neal's dominance in the low post dictates that your role players on the court are more dangerous than running around.

That's it.

Once O'Neal's fitness declines, the Lakers can only bet that Kobe's touch can help O'Neal through this physical pole.

Coupled with the late "OK" period, O'Neal became more and more disliked to play blocking and dismantling, so in the round of tie-break between them and the king, they were hammered so embarrassed by the king.

Even the hardcore fans of the Lakers at the time had to admit that if it wasn't for Stern who lifted the Lakers at the most critical moment, the Kings would have been the team that should have reached the Finals.

On the sidelines, Jordan, who sat on the sidelines and drank water, found that it was only when he returned to the bench to rest that he could appreciate how strong this evolving wizard really was.

"Without me, would you have the confidence to lead this Wizards to the Finals?" Looking at Wang Shuo, who was sitting back on the bench, Jordan suddenly asked Wang Shuo a question that he really wanted to know the answer to at this moment.

Hearing this, Wang Shuo replied without thinking: "If it weren't for you, I should be thinking about who should be chosen for next year's champion." ”

Jordan was amused by Wang Shuo's answer, "Can you tell the truth?" Don't worry about how I feel. ”

Wang Shuo said with a serious face: "What I said is the truth. Michael, if it weren't for you, I would definitely advise the team to prepare for next season in advance.

Because in my opinion, in the NBA, the championship is the only goal.

But without you, no matter how talented this Wizards is, they are destined to be unable to aim for a championship in the short term. ”

At this moment, Wang Shuo was not filming Jordan's sycophants.

Because if there is no Boss Joe, not to mention whether he can convince Unseld to get him this team.

Even if he can get this team, without the prestige of Boss Joe, how will he come to the locker room of this wizard team at that time?

In addition, from a technical and tactical level.

Whether it's Hamilton, or Gasol......

Or Arenas, Artey, Crawford.

None of them have the ability to solve problems like Boss Qiao.

Let's use the Lakers during the "sister-in-law" period as an example.

Why can't the Lakers in the "Sister-in-law" period be as smart as the Lakers in the "OK" period?

Because at the most critical moment, they went from the original "OK" to Kobe Bryant.

In the 07/08 season, in that famous round of the Lake-Kai battle, the Celtics' thinking at that time was very clear.

It's the only hard solution to the Lakers to the death.

And in the 09/10 season, even the Celtics, who were far from being in the same form as in the 07/08 season, used the same method to create a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

On the court, the first quarter of the game ended, and the Wizards who were playing away led 27-21.

In the second quarter of the game, Larry Brown, who was dissatisfied with the team's defense, gave a death order to the 76ers players on the court.

As the defensive level of the 76ers players on the court continues to improve, and the referee's punishment for the defensive scale is relatively lenient tonight, Wang Shuo also looked at Jordan affectionately on the sidelines.

"Look, Michael, now, we're going to need you." Wang Shuo looked at Jordan and said.

Hearing this, compared with Phil Jackson back then, Jordan found that he really liked Wang Shuo more at this moment.

This is not because of how charming Wang Shuo's big Carse Lauder eyes are, but because, in Jordan's opinion, Wang Shuo understands himself better than Phil Jackson.

After Wang Shuo applied for a substitution in front of the technical table, before waiting for the dead ball to play, Jordan finally asked Wang Shuo a question, "If it were me at my peak, what kind of tactics would you design for me?" ”

Wang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "I'll buy a whole box of Lay's potato chips, and then quietly watch you play." ”

Jordan glared at Wang Shuo: "Be serious." ”

Wang Shuo pondered for two seconds and said, "It's too complicated, I'll talk to you when I'm free." To put it simply, I'm still going to be like Phil, focusing on triangle offense. Merely......

I'm going to have more pitchers on the perimeter to take the pressure off you on the court and increase your point of play when you're caught in the pack. ”

"Are you so sure I'm going to pass the ball in a trap?" The corners of Jordan's mouth raised slightly, and he said.

Wang Shuo nodded and said, "I have no doubt that Michael Jordan at his peak can play one-two, one-three, and even one-and-four on the court."

But I believe that Michael Jordan has never been the kind of person who plays to show off his skills to others. ”

At the Wajovia Center, Jordan was back on the field after "Martial Saint" cut the ball Haprin was about to pass to Mutombo.

At this time, the on-field lineups of the two sides are:

Wizards: Haywood, Jordan, Jackson, Jefferson, Crawford.

76ers: Mutombo, Coleman, Harplin, McGee, Iverson.

So far tonight, Larry Brown has not made even one more substitution adjustment except for Uncle Mu who was substituted for a while in the last three minutes of the first quarter.

Wang Shuo really admires this 76ers player from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know how Larry Brown usually adjusts, they can play for so long and still be so disciplined on defense.

On the court, after the 76ers baseline ball was issued, Iverson hit a small half-volley jumper.

31 to 27.

Coming back, the Wizards attacked.

Since Gasol is not there, the Wizards' offensive triangle at this time is obviously not enough to prevent the 76ers players from flanking Boss Joe.

However, at the moment when McGee struck at Jordan, Jordan's left hand, which was originally protecting the basketball, suddenly grabbed the basketball with one hand, and after gently spinning it outward, he kicked his leg violently!

This pedaling is so leisurely and freehand.

The introduction is Michael Jordan.

There are no bells and whistles.

Hmmm——!

Throughout the 90s, what Jordan's opponents feared the most was never Jordan's dunks or levers.

It's this.....

Unsolvable leaning and dry pulling.
