Honk!

The timeout lasted only 120 seconds, and the players from both sides quickly returned to the field and the game resumed.

Sakuragi Hanamichi ran to Da Yao for the first time, but in Lin Dong's opinion at this time, Da Yao seemed to have a feeling of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly.

If the previous two seasons allowed Da Yao to grow rapidly, extremely close to the peak of history that Lin Dong once knew, then Da Yao at this moment already has the feeling of surpassing the peak in Lin Dong's opinion.

It's not just about technique, but when it comes to this level, a player's technical style has already been set, and it's hard to find a breakthrough again.

Zone is just a means to assist in combat, and what can really make them go further is their mentality, cognition, and understanding of basketball, the game, and themselves.

Obviously, Yao Ming has crossed a certain hurdle, not just the zone, and every choice he makes when facing Sakuragi Hanamichi's winding defense at this time can make Lin Dong feel Yao Ming's cognitive progress.

And ...... for yourself

After six finals, Lin Dong felt that maybe he was the one who gained the most.

This goes back to an old topic he asked himself when he first entered the NBA.

- What is a real superstar?

Swish!

The ball went to Lin Dong's hands.

"Hey, boy," Michael, who was blocking in front of him, showed a sneer, teasing, teasing: "Leading is also called a timeout?" Are you out of line so soon? ”

Lin Dong smiled, this time he didn't choose to respond, but looked at the position of Sakuragi Hanamichi under the basket, glanced at him, and then took a deep breath and bowed down.

Super low-profile breakthrough!

But instead of rushing to the basket, he quickly approached Payton's direction.

Pick-and-roll of the GOD combo?

The two sides have played so many games, and they have already had considerable experience in dealing with the hands of the two.

Artest tried his best to get stuck in the misaligned route of Payton and Lin Dong at this time, the entanglement of the two was top-notch, Payton was more experienced, but Artest's physical strength and athleticism were stronger, and the card position at this time made Payton unable to occupy the place to 'strip' Jordan.

The four were misplaced in the blink of an eye, and Artest and Jordan's defense was perfect, neither leaving Lin Dong with a chance to shoot a 3-pointer with Payton cover, nor letting the two lose their defensive targets after the misalignment.

Jordan realized that the ball was not in Lin Dong's hand.

Peyton where?

He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to find that Peyton was also empty-handed and was entangled with Artest.

Jordan suddenly realized that something was wrong, what about the ball?

The ball is in Brent's hands at the top of the three-point arc on the left!

But...... Jordan was a little surprised.

In his opinion, when the SuperSonics are in big trouble on the offensive end, Lin Dong's choice should be to take action to solve the problem by himself, and take the score first and relieve the pressure of the other players on the team as the primary goal...... Boom!

While he was subconsciously running with Lin Dong, the thought in his mind had not yet been finished, but he felt that he had suddenly hit a 'wall'.

Sakuragi Hanamichi!

At this time, it was in the penalty area, Sakuragi Hanamichi came up to cover Lin Dong, Jordan was feeling Lin Dong's actions just now, but his eyes were distracted and looked in the direction of Brent, and he didn't notice Sakuragi's cover.

Swish!

It was also at this point that a ground-hitting pass from Brent arrived.

And with the help of Sakuragi Hanamichi's cover, Lin Dong, who came out from behind him, caught the ball, and then twisted his waist and pulled up, the adjustment of the entire shooting angle was completed in the air, Jordan, who was intercepted by Sakuragi Hanamichi, had no time to fill the position, although Yao Ming in front of him barely pounced a step, but at least three steps away from each other, in the face of such a medium-distance shot, he could only sigh.

Swish!

Two points were scored steadily, 9:15.

"Well done!" Lin Dong slapped his hands at Sakuragi Hanamichi with a smile.

Both Brent and Payton are just fronts, and his real purpose is to rush to the inside to take advantage of Sakuragi Hanamichi's cover?

Jordan frowned.

Frankly, I can understand a little.

Purely from a tactical point of view, this is indeed a good method, after all, Sakuragi Hanamichi's movement speed is faster than Yao Ming's, and Yao Ming's tactical positioning is to defend the basket, Sakuragi Hanamichi If you want to pull it out slightly, Yao Ming can't easily follow it, which is equivalent to supersonic speed can form 5 to 4 on the offensive end, although giving up the basket is equivalent to giving up rebounding, but with Lin Dong's finishing ability, 5 to 4 with perfect coordination basically does not exist rebounding, which is an effective means of scoring.

But there are also things that I don't understand.

How so? It's too complicated to play, and running down in this big circle, a misalignment block and a cover, and being picked up by Artest when he is out of position, this is not less than the consumption of Lin Dong's personal physical strength than when he singles himself out, after all, Lin Dong's non-deceleration and change of direction can have achieved the effect of getting rid of himself, at most, he should be careful not to rush to the basket and be hit by Yao Ming.

Moreover, no matter how tacit the cooperation of the three people is, it is not as good as the effect when they are alone, although there is a possibility of being prevented by heads-up, but the mistakes of cooperation are also inevitable, so the final hit rate is actually about the same.

So...... What is the picture of spending more physical strength to fight so complicated?

Jordan looked at Lin Dong with some doubts, but saw that the young man's face was only absolutely focused, and even after scoring this goal, he didn't choose to respond to his previous trash talk.

It's understandable that the other party wants to keep all their energy in the game and wants to respond to themselves with actions.

But the choice just now is still incomprehensible after all, Lin Dong obviously has a simpler and more energy-saving choice.

Wizards' possession.

If you can't figure out the problem, you won't think about it for the time being, Jordan decided to take a look at it again, if Lin Dong had any special intentions for the ball just now, then he would continue to play like this.

At this time, just after the halfway point with the ball, Jordan could already see the continuation of the Wizards on the strong end.

Although Sakuragi Hanamichi rushed forward as soon as possible after completing the cover, he continued to pester Yao Ming, but Yao Ming at this time was obviously no longer something he could intercept.

first got rid of it once in the penalty area, and then Sakuragi Hanamichi relied on his speed to catch up with the front again, but he was not entangled for 2 seconds before he was got rid of Yao Ming again.

It still has a certain impact on Yao Ming's overall return speed and rhythm, and the consumption of physical strength must also exist, but that is only a delay of three or four seconds, which does not affect the normal play of Yao Ming, a big killer under the basket.

Having such a teammate is probably the best thing in his career, to put it bluntly, even Old Man Qiao feels that he has never fought such a rich battle.

A steady high hoist, after Yao Ming forcibly squeezed away the cherry blossom road, he relayed a violent buckle in the air and steadily kept up with the score.

11:15。

And the supersonic who came back did not choose a fast attack, but Brent firmly controlled the ball across the halfway.

What's even more strange is that Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't stop Yao Ming's return again, but let him return to the basket on the defensive end.

Actually gave up the effective tactics that had lasted for six games before? Although there is a premise to prevent failure one after another, even giving up the consumption of Yao Ming's physical strength still makes Jordan smell a trace of unusual smell after all.

He was engrossed, and this ball might be able to see Lin Dong's intentions.

I saw that as soon as Brent held the ball to the top of the three-point arc, Sakuragi Hanamichi in the free throw area directly pulled out and stood outside the three-point line, moving closer to Payton who was directly in front of the top of the three-point arc.

Lin Dong scored from the right side of the three-point line into the inside.

Jordan followed, but was a little surprised.

Lin Dong is definitely the core of the supersonic offense, but at this time, Lin Dong's running position seems to have nothing to do with Sakuragi Hanamichi's position outside the three-point line.

What's even more strange is that neither Sakuragi Hanamichi nor Payton has an outside three-pointer.

What does it mean for two guys who don't have 3-point ability to pull to the 3-point line?

Just when Jordan was still wondering about this, Lin Dong's actions instantly let the basketball god see what a real 'scoundrel' is.

I saw Lin Dong, who had gone around the inside, suddenly pulled out and passed through the middle of Peyton and Sakuragi Flower Road, which happened to be standing side by side.

Immediately after, Brent passed the ball to Lin Dong, while Payton and Sakuragi Hanamichi, who were side by side, only moved a little closer to the middle, using the closing of their bodies and Sakuragi's small movements, they immediately blocked Jordan who was chasing Lin Dong.

At that moment, it was as if Sakuragi Hanamichi and Peyton were two gates, and then 'closed' the moment Lin Dong 'entered the door'!

- Elevator Door Tactics!

SuperSonics has been used a few times in previous regular season games, but it didn't work very well.

First, Lin Dong was more accustomed to fighting alone at that time, and secondly, Sakuragi Hanamichi at that time had not yet awakened, and neither tactical awareness nor cooperation with the team could not meet the requirements of this new set of elevator door tactics.

And after the rise of Sakuragi, the normal running and bombing of supersonic speed and Lin Dong's heads-up ability are enough to solve all problems, and it seems that this set of tactics is not needed.

Can ...... now

Thanks to Sakuragi Hanamichi's instinctive timely closure of the door, his feet do not move but his body moves, and he intercepts the pursuers outside the door with just the right small movements, all in one go.

Lin Dong, who 'entered the door', received the ball with one hand, followed by a quick turn and pull.

Jordan and Artest's eyes were all glazed, and they couldn't do anything at this time when they were blocked out by Sakuragi Hanamichi and Payton, so they could only watch the 3-point shot steadily.

Not only the two of them, Sakuragi Hanamichi was also a little swaying at this moment, turning his head to look at the picture of the basketball flying towards the basket......

Sometimes, it takes a long time to build faith, but it only takes a few seconds to destroy.

I used the confidence accumulated throughout the season, the skills accumulated in the previous rounds of the playoffs and my understanding of the inside, and the restrictions on Yao Ming's rhythm for six games, so that this super center, who could have scored 30 or even 40 points, scored less than 30 points in each game, and even made the opponent no longer have power at critical moments through the exchange of physical strength.

All of this has allowed Sakuragi Hanamichi to find a great sense of accomplishment and self-recognition.

But when Yao Ming suddenly broke out, when the 226-centimeter-tall big man used all kinds of flexible and strange steps to get rid of Sakuragi's self-righteous entanglement one after another, Sakuragi Hanamichi's confidence was like suffering a hammer, and he was quickly on the verge of collapse.

He still remembered the sound of his own rapid breathing during the pause, and his confused mind.

That's not just because Yao Ming can't be restricted, but Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't even know what he should do on the field at that moment, feeling worthless, even redundant and cumbersome!

Until Lin Dong's words......

- Sakuragi, you can't stop the current Yao Ming, or maybe no one in the entire NBA can stop the current Yao Ming, that guy is the top center on the planet!

But on the court, it's not just heads-up that can show your value, and it's not just heads-up wins that can help the team.

- On the defensive end, continue to consume Yao Ming, and on the offensive end, give up consumption and participate in the team's offense.

- Now, think of yourself as a door where you can form a door with anyone on your team, and the key is in your hand, and you have to close the door while you're making it! You have the most sense of complementing and defense, and you have the most physical strength, so it's only fitting that you can control the elevator door, and it will save Payton and me even more energy.

- Hey, man, listen! I need to do this, not just for me, but for Brent, for Iguodala!

- We want not only to score, but also to drive the whole team, so that everyone can find their place and form, I can't do everything alone, and you and your elevator door are the key to starting this team!

- Try it out with me first, find the feeling of closing the door, unleash all of our teammates, and work together to defeat the greatest wizard of all time!

Swish!

When Brother Gaoren's words flashed in Sakuragi Hanamichi's mind, the basketball in front of him had already hollowed into the net.

11:18！

And the crisp sound of the basketball entering the net was like a heavenly sound, which made Sakuragi Hanamichi completely sober up from the previous confusion.

Yes, he can't restrict Yao Ming now, but he knows what he has to do.

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes became shiny again, and he gave a three-person high-five to Lin Dong, who completed the shot, and Peyton, who formed the goal.

"Roar!" He roared, as if venting all the grievances that had been completely suppressed by Yao Ming before, and shouted energetically: "Come on Wizard!" ”

Help Brother Gao to drive the whole team, just use this hand to close the door tactic!

And at this moment, not only Sakuragi Hanamichi, but also Brent and Iguodala on the other side are also bright.

They knew the elevator door tactics, and they also understood Lin Dong's intentions, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Dong's cooperation and performance just now were not only to help Sakuragi Hanamichi find a feeling, but also to revisit all the details of this tactic for them.

Get in, turn around, shoot.

All they need to do is these three steps, as for the defenders?

Choose to believe that Sakuragi Hanamichi, Lin Dong and Peyton, the three core cores of the supersonic speed, will keep all defenders out of the door!

Enter, turn, shoot...... Get in, turn around, shoot!
