Chapter 225 Tactics
After seeing the go-ahead score, Lakers head coach Harris finally let go of his hanging heart.
He knows very well that if he loses this game, Old Bass will definitely burst into thunderous rage, and even his coaching position will not be stable...
Although today's era is not yet the era of small ball, teams are not obsessed with three-pointers, and players' three-point shooting abilities are generally low.
But the Lakers are a professional team after all, and they are ranked among the top four in the Western Conference. The players are very capable.
When Van Exel, Eddie Jones and others faced the obviously weaker college teams, once they found their shooting touch, the basket was as vast as the ocean in their eyes.
Swish, brush, brush!
Van Exel and Eddie Jones used a series of three-pointers to tell the Cavaliers' college players what the professional team's three-point shooting ability is.
At this time, there were 4 minutes left in the game, and the Lakers had already opened the point difference to 9 points.
beep!
Anzuo took the tactical board, walked to the inside of the court, and immediately called a timeout.
When Lakers player Ceballos walked off the court, he waved his hand to the camera beside him to indicate that the game was over.
He really couldn't figure out how these college players could catch up with the score difference.
On the bench of the Cavalry, Daheilong, Maggette and others were breathing heavily. Their physical fitness had reached a bottleneck.
Obviously, they are still unable to adapt to the pace and confrontation of NBA games.
"Listen, let's stop attacking their insides and do what we are good at, which is throwing a lot of three-pointers!"
"The big men have to come out and set up pick-and-rolls for the guards!"
"Bite your teeth and hold on! We can't be defeated by them before the finish line! Believe in yourselves!"
Anzuo was arranging tactics while cheering on the players. He knew that everyone's physical fitness had reached its limit.
"Cavalry! Must win!"
All the players raised their right fists, bumped together, and cheered and shouted together.
In the first round after the timeout, the cavalry launched the attack.
Zhao Qiang dribbled the ball into the frontcourt. The moment he stepped on the Lakers LOGO, he raised his hand and shot angrily. The basketball drew a wonderful arc in the air...
brush!
Three point hit!
LOGO SHOT!!
After Zhao Qiang completed the super long three-pointer, there was no wave on his face and his eyes were unusually firm.
But the Lakers fans at the Staples Center were no longer calm. Many of them had dilated pupils, held their heads in their hands, and looked in disbelief. They did not expect that Zhao Qiang could throw a long three-pointer.
You know, in the 1990s, LOGO SHOT was still a rare product, only appearing a few times a season.
The Lakers stars were also shocked by Zhao Qiang's super long three-pointer. They couldn't believe that he dared to throw it like this at such a critical moment. He really has a big heart!
As a time traveler, Zhao Qiang wanted to tell them that 20 years later, there will be a small guard who likes to chew braces, and he will dare to throw long three-pointers in the playoffs and even the finals...
It was the Lakers' turn to attack. After Van Exel controlled the ball and passed the midline, he was not in a hurry to launch an attack.
As an experienced point guard, Van Exel knew that he should press the pace at this time. After all, there was not much time left, and the Lakers still held a 6-point lead.
Zhao Qiang and Du Lin were also very experienced and immediately stepped forward to double-team Van Exel, forcing him to pass the ball.
Under the attack of two young talents, Van Exel had no choice but to play the ball. In fact, he quite enjoyed this moment...
After a period of training by Anzo, the Cavalry's defensive system is very layered.
The Big Black Dragon saw Van Exel passing the ball and immediately stepped forward to steal it.
Snap!
The big black dragon stretched his left hand forward and completed the steal accurately!
However, the Lakers also had high tactical literacy and retreated immediately to prevent the Cavaliers from completing the fast break.
Because Zhao Qiang’s LOGO SHOT was too shocking in the last round, Eddie Jones closely guarded Zhao Qiang, preventing him from having another chance to shoot a three-pointer.
At this point in the game, both sides were fighting with real swords and guns. The Lakers players also wanted to win this game very much and would not think of giving up to the Cavaliers.
Eddie Jones lowered his center of gravity and kept using his body to fight against Zhao Qiang, trying to interfere with his dribbling.
Zhao Qiang felt in advance what an NBA-level confrontation was, and it was indeed extraordinary.
But Zhao Qiang likes this kind of confrontation very much, which makes him even more excited.
Strong people like difficult challenges!
Just when the big black dragon came out to pick and roll Zhao Qiang, Zhao Qiang waved his hand and signaled his teammates to pull away. He wanted to have a one-on-one duel with Eddie Jones!
"This Eastern player is so interesting, I like his courage!"
"Eddie, give him some color! Let this kid understand what NBA-level defense is!"
"I feel like he's going to miss or get intercepted by Eddie, hahaha!"
Seeing Zhao Qiang actually taking the initiative to challenge Eddie Jones, the Lakers fans on the sidelines were so excited that they all stood up and booed in a friendly manner.
Zhao Qiang dribbled the ball with his left hand. After a brief test to the left, he immediately made a small forward change of direction.
Eddie Jones did not falter, his footsteps completely kept up with Zhao Qiang's changes, and he still firmly guarded Zhao Qiang.
Obviously, Zhao Qiang's current dribbling speed and rhythm are still unable to get rid of a top perimeter defender in the NBA.
Although he did not completely get rid of Eddie Jones, Zhao Qiang still gained a small shooting space.
This little space is enough for Zhao Qiang.
Eddie Jones predicted in advance that Zhao Qiang was going to make a three-point shot, so he was already ready to block the shot, jumped high, and used his wingspan to complete the ultimate interference!
In order to avoid Eddie Jones' block, Zhao Qiang could only tilt his body 16.58° to the right.
When the body is about to lose its balance, it is difficult to throw the basketball.
brush!
Three point hit!
"OMG! This guy is scarier than Reggie Miller! How did he do it?!"
"There are actually better three-point shooters than Reggie in this world!"
"Hey guys, believe me, this guy is going to change the NBA!"
After Zhao Qiang completed this extremely difficult three-pointer, all the Lakers fans in the audience let out a burst of exclamation. Some fans even switched sides and started shouting Zhao Qiang's name.
Because this was not a regular season game, many Lakers fans at the scene watched this game with a playful attitude. They wanted to see the talented players in the Cavaliers.
Now, they hope the Lakers can draft Zhao Qiang next year.
Although the fans don't really care about the outcome of the game, the Lakers players on the court are not calm, especially Eddie Jones.
He couldn't believe that Zhao Qiang's shooting touch was so good, it could even be described as abnormal...
Chapter completed!
