Chapter 246 The shark slashing started from the first section
Some people have also noticed that the Bulls want to speed up!
But what everyone is not sure about is whether the Bulls are simply speeding up, or whether they are going to play run-and-gun.
To measure whether a team is "run and gun", it mainly depends on whether its scoring method is mainly based on fast breaks or solid half-court offense, and whether its defensive tactics are mainly point-to-point man-to-man or zone-based.
The main focus is on double-teaming and zone defense; whether its offensive and defensive transition rhythm is fast or slow, etc.
The first goal of "run and gun" is speed.
Tireless running is a powerful weapon to wear down the enemy - at least that is true when you are bombarding all the way.
Few people can keep up with a run-and-gun team unless it's also a run-and-gun team.
This offensive-defensive tactic can often result in exciting and unusual games, with the opponent defeated by a big score - which is also a strong guarantee for the box office.
In the regular season, this tactic works - no traditional team would change their lineup just to win a short game, and once you disrupt their rhythm, you've already got two-thirds of it.
Victory.
But while enjoying the intense competition, people tend to forget that speed is also a double-edged sword. While it drags down the enemy, it will also drag down oneself.
When your hand is going smoothly, fatigue is often easily ignored, and the pursuer's physical problems are always the first to show up; but if your opponent is already prepared, and if you use tough defense to suppress your attack speed from the beginning,
Let the speed attackers reduce their frequency and change their rhythm, and the first to collapse will be the "run and gun" team.
The playoff series is long, and your opponents have enough time to adapt to your rhythm and make targeted adjustments.
So no one believes that the Bulls will use run-and-gun tactics in the playoffs.
Cartwright didn't dare to really play run-and-gun. He just asked his players to speed up a little when attacking. The attack time of only 9 seconds was still beyond his expectation.
It seems that the effect is quite good.
When the Lakers attacked, Fisher first passed the ball to Kobe. He stood at 45 degrees on the right, and then suddenly cut inside. O'Neal blocked Richardson with one step in the corner, and Fisher got rid of the ball and passed
Feizer picked up the basket from the right and scored.
4 to 2
Except for centers like Garnett, Gasol, and Nowitzki who move quickly laterally, most insiders are afraid of small men cutting air because they turn and move too slowly.
Feizer is 203cm tall. He is not tall, but he is very heavy. Once he is thrown away by Fischer, he will definitely not be able to catch up.
Moreover, the Bulls' defensive focus is on O'Neal. As long as O'Neal doesn't play well, everything is easy to say.
Let others score. It's okay to score, but O'Neal must die.
The Bulls' offense fell into position this time. Although it took less time than before to complete the half, the Lakers' defensive positioning was completed.
Lu Yu called a screen, Miller moved to the high post, Lu Yu passed by Miller's body, Kobe was blocked, and then Kobe chose to bypass Miller's defense.
Just after he walked around, he found that O'Neal was also chasing Lu Yu.
Miller was left alone above the free throw line.
"Oops, I missed someone!"
Kobe tried to get back on defense, but it was too late. Miller caught the ball and hit a mid-range shot, 4-4.
When the Lakers attacked, they repeated the same routine again. Fisher made a cut and caught the ball, but this time Richardson caught up and he could only pass the ball to O'Neal.
O'Neal was about to charge in, but Feizer directly fouled him and pulled him down.
Zhang Lili said: "This ball has not reached the penalty area before O'Neal. Fizer's foul is unreasonable. Is it possible that he will start to chop sharks now?"
Sun Yiping was also stunned: "Unlikely, it may have been an unintentional foul by Feizer. Let's see how O'Neal's free throw goes."
Amid the boos from the Bulls' home fans, O'Neal missed the basket with his first free throw.
Followed by the second penalty.
He was just about to take a free throw when suddenly a beautiful fan on the opposite side pulled her collar down a little, and there were two red cherries on the white snowflakes. O'Neal shook his hands and tightened his lower limbs to show respect.
Immediately punished with three no-sticks.
Miller grabbed the rebound and threw it directly to Lu Yu. Lu Yu pushed forward like a cheetah, passed Kobe with his back, and rushed into the basket. Fisher's mantis arm couldn't stop Lu Yu at all. Lu Yu took off forcefully and rode on Fei.
Scheer dunked the ball hard over his head!
"Oh my god, what did I see? Lu Yu's dunk from behind!"
"The Bulls are on their way!"
"What's the point of starting a momentum? It's because we can't beat the Lakers."
The only Lakers fans at the scene obviously aroused public outrage, and all Bulls fans wanted their team to slap them in the face.
6 to 4
The Lakers attack, Kobe shoots from the free throw line, Lu Yu closes his eyes, tit for tat, it's not that he doesn't retaliate, the time has not come yet, you see this is coming, Lu Yu feels uncomfortable when Kobe closes his eyes in the first game.
In the second game, Lu Yu relied on his fiery touch to avoid the interference of the eye seal.
But in the second game, he still had a hard time under Kobe's defense. Even though he scored so many points and his shooting percentage was so high, Kobe's defense prevented him from connecting the team. This was the key to losing in the second game.
He is the core of the team's offense and defense, and also the team's organizer. If he is just a scorer, then he will not become a player like Jordan, he will only become another Durant.
Kobe Bryant shoots the iron.
O'Neal grabbed the rebound and was about to attack again when he was pulled down by Feizer again.
In just two rounds, Feizer fouled twice.
O'Neal went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. With a score of 6-5, the Bulls replaced Fizer and replaced him with Oakley.
Lu Yu attacked and challenged Kobe Bryant to dribble the ball in a different direction. Kobe thought he would stop for a jump shot. Unexpectedly, it was a pick-and-roll again. Lu Yu accelerated to the inside. The other Lakers players still did not shrink. Only O'Neal followed. Kobe Bryant
Then it was transferred to Miller.
Miller took the ball, ignored Kobe's defense, and shot directly.
Hit!
8 to 5
Miller roared like a big white bear.
He did it!
Lu Yu was also secretly excited. The tactics before the game were completed, and the next step was to see the reaction of the Lakers.
When the Lakers attack, Kobe always has a way to create opportunities. Even if Lu Yu can keep up, he can only interfere as much as possible, and it is difficult to block shots. If he shoots more accurately, it will be incredible.
It's a pity that he also has another name, little blacksmith.
Basketball is once again struggling. In fact, Kobe is not shooting inaccurately. He has to face his opponent's strongest defender on the perimeter in every game. It is indeed difficult to be accurate.
The Bulls attacked again, and it only took seven seconds for Lu Yu to get inside the three-point line. The Lakers obviously didn't react. They didn't expect that the Bulls' pick-and-roll was not in place at all. They came up and blocked it without any force at all.
Germany.
O'Neal was worried that Miller would make another shot, so he obviously raised the ball a little higher. Lu Yu simply ignored him and went to the basket with his left hand and scored.
It also caused Kobe to foul.
twenty one
Free throw made.
11 to 5
Zen Master, who was sitting on the sidelines with the old god present, couldn't sit still. He called a timeout for the first time. This was the first time in the three games of the finals that Zen Master called a timeout before the Bulls.
Even in the first two games, Jackson never called at all. Every time he waited for the official timeout or Cartwright to call, he would make arrangements by the way.
The two sides were back and forth, and Kobe was even more aggressive when guarding Lu Yu, denying him an easy pick-and-roll opportunity. Lu Yu shot a three-pointer. He didn't have to make the shot, but the position was too good, and he also
I believed in the feel of the ball today, but I was careless when I shot it. Kobe's finger rubbed it a little, and the basketball changed its line.
At 5 minutes and 13 seconds, Lu Yu succeeded in the mid-range shot, and the score was 17 to 9. No one expected that the Bulls would be in the lead today.
O'Neal began to show off his power, hitting hard in the paint one after another. He did not assist as casually as usual. His teammates were blocked and had no chance. Only he hit hard to create opportunities.
But after turning around, he bumped into Oakley.
The referee blows the whistle.
Oakley pulled a foul.
Another foul?!
At this time, Zhang Weiping finally determined that the Bulls were going to kill the shark. What surprised him most was that the shark attack actually started from the first quarter.
O'Neal angrily complained to the referee: "They did it on purpose. Such a game is too ugly. How can such a foul be tolerated."
The referee was also speechless. I whistled every foul. Do you blame me for not making the penalty?
It seemed that anger brought BUFF, O'Neal once again made one of two free throws.
He looked at the Bulls bench provocatively, "Come on, as long as you dare to foul, I can score a free throw. I don't believe how can you foul when your whole team has been sent off!"
Cartwright was too lazy to pay attention to him. There was nothing to be proud of in making one of two free throws.
17 to 10
The Bulls served directly, Lu Yu held the ball and attacked, but was interfered by Fox and missed. Although he did not score, this was a good sign that the Lakers began to shrink their defense. Oakley grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Ah in the bottom corner.
Test.
Artest stood in the corner, raised the ball with both hands and feinted, shaking Fisher up, and then passed it to Richardson at a 45-degree angle. Richardson stabilized, raised his hand to shoot, and the basketball was swish
It fell into the basket with a loud sound.
20 to 10
The Bulls lead by double digits.
Then Lu Yu kept running, consuming Kobe's energy. Kobe followed him and passed the ball to the outside, waiting for the next opportunity. The game was much easier than the previous two games.
O'Neal didn't dare to flank Lu Yu like he did in the first two games.
Because Miller was so accurate this time.
Two minutes later, Lu Yu got another chance. Kobe broke into the penalty area and missed a layup due to the interference of the big man. Miller grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to start a fast break. Richardson scored the ball. Lu Yu sprinted straight to get rid of Fox.
, a single player dunked the basketball with both hands on a fast break and scored.
On the Bulls' last attack in the first quarter, Lu Yu calculated the time correctly and made a sudden stop without making a move. He shook Kobe and then jumped forward and hit him, causing Kobe to foul. He pushed the ball to the basket with one hand. He was very lucky.
, or in other words, his hands were really hot today and the ball went in.
The referee blows the whistle,21
Kobe received his second foul in the first quarter.
The Zen master complained to the referee off the court: "He was committing a foul. He didn't jump forward when shooting. What's the difference between this and diving?"
Referee: I understand the reasoning, but this is a foul. If you don’t believe me, go check the referee rules?
Lu Yujia made a free throw and scored 12 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists in a single quarter, beating Kobe who had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. The Bulls led 32 to 20 by 12 points.
In the second quarter, Kobe went to rest. Jackson was mainly worried that Kobe would get fouled.
But in this way, it broke the Lakers' regular rotation. Normally, O'Neal is allowed to rest in the second quarter to regain his strength, but this situation is not something they have never encountered in the regular season.
There are two options.
One is to let O'Neal rest and let the substitutes spend a few minutes with the opponent.
But it is obvious that the Bulls are fully prepared today. Once O'Neal goes down, the Bulls will definitely defeat the game in one go. There is no need to wait for O'Neal and Kobe to come on the court, and the game may directly enter garbage time.
Of course, it is possible to recover in the third quarter.
However, Jackson was obviously unwilling to take risks and chose to let O'Neal play with the substitutes for a while to see the situation.
However, O'Neal is obviously also suffering from "foul trouble." His foul trouble is different from Kobe's. When he is in foul trouble, no matter which substitute is on the Bulls, as soon as O'Neal gets the ball, the nearest player will definitely get a foul.
Let O'Neal get to the free throw line.
Zen Master saw that this was not going to work. O'Neal's free throws and one of two free throws were considered bad luck. Even if he made one of two free throws, he would only get one point. If the opponent turned around and scored two points, it would be equivalent to two rounds for him to switch to his opponent.
round.
Not worth it!
Just replace O'Neal and let the two main players rest.
As a result, at this time, Cartwright did not plan to send all the main players to defeat the game, but started to grind with the opponent. The scores of both sides increased alternately, but the point difference remained at around ten points.
It's not that Cartwright doesn't want to lose the game, but he doesn't want the main players to consume too much energy in the second quarter. The original speed increase is a double-edged sword. It makes it uncomfortable for the opponent, and the energy consumption of his own players is even greater, so he can't fight.
By the fourth quarter, when the opponent counterattacked, his own players were running out of energy.
Lu Yu felt that Cartwright was being conservative.
At least he can make a splash on the court. He is confident in his physical strength. After all, he is not nicknamed the Wolf seven times a night for nothing, and when playing in the NCAA, he often plays the entire game.
However, fighting this way also has its advantages.
What if, what if Kobe explodes and he doesn’t have the physical strength to do anything?
And if a player like Kobe really succeeds, you can only watch. After all, he is a man who can score 81 points in a game.
It's better to save some energy and be steady.
The Bulls led 60 to 45 at halftime. At halftime, many basketball experts were still not optimistic about the Bulls, because the Lakers had avoided the risk of Kobe's foul after this quarter, and Kobe and O'Neal would return with full blood in the third quarter.
The Bulls' speed-up tactics are easy to crack with Zen Master. For a head coach who has experienced so many games, this kind of tactical change is just child's play.
He's not Van Gundy's type of head coach who still has cheat sheets.
Zen Master has really thought about how to break the Bulls' speed increase. It's just a delay in the frontcourt and a one-and-done four-way attack. This is simple for the Lakers. What gives him a headache is that today's Bulls have already shot away, and his own
Should the defensive formation be contracted, contracted, or contracted?
