I just discovered that the previous chapter number was wrong. I will change it later.

Because both sides rotated relatively early in this game, both sides used their main players at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
As a result, when all the main players of the two teams returned to the court again, the game seemed to have returned to the first quarter. On the court, the Magic continued to use Nash and Josh to perform pick-and-rolls in the high post, and then relied on the super abilities of the two to suppress the Knicks.
of death.
Wilkens observed the Magic's performance on the court and Edison running around and dancing on the sidelines. He thought of one person - the quietest head coach in the league, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.
Although the two players played different tactics, with Jackson using the "triangle offense" and Edison using the "V-shaped run and gun", their tactics had the same thing in common: they both started from a point that the alliance had no solution for.
The "triangle offense" has been talked about so badly by everyone now that it has almost reached the point where "triangle offense" must be mentioned when mentioning tactics. It's like if you don't understand the triangle offense, you don't understand basketball. And then it is said that only Phil Jackson can
It is a true triangle offense, and no one else is a pure triangle offense. But think about why, except for Phil Jackson, everyone else's triangle offense is often a piece of shit.
Some people may say, "Because Phil Jackson has the deepest understanding of the triangle offense." But if you press further, what is the depth of his understanding? Then many people will not be able to answer, or some people will answer "
Because of running passes and stuff like that.”
Actually no, the running, passing and cutting of the triangle offense is not complicated. If you just look at the tactical board, the triangle offense is not the most complicated.
The key to the triangle offense is not the coordination of movement, passing, and cutting, but that the three vertices that make up the triangle must be strong, and one must be unsolvable in the league, one must be top-notch in the league, and one must be excellent, so that the triangle can be strong.
So when we look at Phil Jackson's triangle routine, the first one with no solution was Jordan, then O'Neal, and then Kobe. These three players were all unsolvable in the league in singles during their peak years. Jordan originally played alone.
Unexpectedly, the league issued an "anti-isolation singles rule" for him. I think you may not be familiar with this rule, so I will briefly introduce it.
Jordan was so invincible in singles that the Bulls began to set up a special style of play in order to give full play to his singles ability - Jordan held the ball at the top of the arc for a three-pointer, and the other four people went directly to the bottom. The league at that time did not allow zone defense.
It can only be man-to-man, so the four defenders can only follow. The situation becomes Jordan alone, and then there is nothing more. After Jordan takes care of his defender, the others can cover up.
There is simply no time. For this reason, the league has introduced this rule, that is, if someone is playing singles at the top of the three-point arc, the offensive team can only have a maximum of 2 people at the bottom.
Okay, let's go on to talk about the unsolvable point of this triangle offense. This unsolvable point is very critical, and it almost doesn't work. Let me give you an example. Everyone knows that the Lakers achieved three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2002.
But they were immediately snatched away from the championship by the Spurs in 2003. Even if they entered the finals in 2004, they were no better than the Spurs. When they fell behind 0-2 in the semifinals, Fisher made a 0.4-second buzzer-beater.
As a result, the Spurs players were immediately upset. They played completely disorganized in the next two games, which allowed the Lakers to enter the finals. Therefore, the strength of the Lakers during this period was actually very poor, and they were definitely not the top in the league. But their
The lineup is still very luxurious, even luxurious. But why can't the triangle offense be played?
Because O'Neal, who had no solution in the league during the previous three consecutive championships, had begun to decline in 2003. Although his data in 2003 was still very good, he was able to withstand the "Admiral" and Duncan in singles.
By 2004, he could be resisted by Big Ben. So Phil Jackson's triangle lost the most critical unsolvable point. What, you mean Kobe? Sorry, Kobe at that time was just the predecessor of "Peter Pan", not now
The deadly “Black Mamba”….
But it’s not enough to just have one unsolvable player. One person cannot form a triangle. There must be two other top stars in the league as backup, so that the triangle can be formed. Therefore, Pippen, Grant, Longley, and Rodman are also needed.
, with the help of Gasol, Fisher, Odom and others. The most typical example is the Lakers around 2006. They had an unsolvable Kobe and a top-notch Odom, but the two of them could not form a triangle.
So although Phil Jackson still looked like the old god, the Lakers were not the top team in the league until Gasol came later.
So when we look at Phil Jackson's commanding style, you must first give him a lineup that can always reach the finals, and then he can win the championship.
Compare this to another famous coach, Larry Brown. As long as you give him an obedient lineup, he can make the playoffs.
Phil Jackson couldn't do this. Typical examples include Phil Jackson's seasons from 2005 to 2007. Although there was Kobe, the Lakers' record was very poor and they barely made it to the playoffs. But in the past two years,
The team also has many stars.
In Wilkens' view, Edison's tactics are very similar to those of "Zen Master". They use the strongest pick-and-roll to open a breakthrough, and then directly look for opportunities to attack. Instead of passing the ball again like Brown and Popovich.
, expanding their advantages little by little and cannibalizing their opponents. Brown and Popovich are like snakes, finding your flaws and draining your vitality step by step. Edison and the others are like crocodiles. After one bite, they will roll directly to death, making you
Falling apart.
For example, Nash's current pick-and-roll is very simple. After the pick-and-roll is over, whether it is a sudden pass or a shot, Nash will make an immediate decision. You must know that the time after the pick-and-roll is misplaced is very short, especially when facing a strong team, this
Time can be said to be fleeting, but Nash can seize this moment, find the opponent's flaw, and then pass the ball to this flaw. In terms of finding defensive flaws, Nash is an unsolvable point in the league.
.
(ps: I can’t help but say a few words. In fact, the paragraph above can also be said to be my original idea for writing this book. I have read about 10 basketball articles, and they are very interesting and rhythmic.
It’s very high, but the tactical analysis makes me quite speechless. Basically, it’s just all kinds of sure-kill singles. I wish Marshal Zhang could score 100-point kills in a single game back then, he was beaten all over the floor by the Celtics.
Look for teeth. The current leading scorer has only 30 points to his death. But you tell me that so-and-so saved the world by playing sure kills from beginning to end. Or he just yelled at so-and-so's little brother, "What do you want?" What's wrong with that?
Arrangement, and then the players start to explode. Of course, it is okay to explode once in a while, but it is an explosion every day. You might as well just say that the explosion is his normal state. Therefore, my book will pay more attention to tactical things.
.Anyway, I think that among the current basketball articles, I can’t say that my tactical literacy is the highest, but it is definitely ranked high. Okay, let’s get back to the subject.)
"This Paul Edison is not simple. In time, he will definitely leave a glorious name in the history of the league." Wilkens made a mental evaluation of Edison.
At this time, Edison was still holding his chest and standing on the sidelines observing the game. He didn't know that the coach had already rated him so highly.
There are now 4 minutes left in the game, and the Magic lead 104-96 by 8 points.
At this time, it is very unsafe to lead by 8 points. If you are not careful, your opponent may move you back. And once the opponent equalizes or approaches the score, the pressure on the players will become extremely high. The Magic players are so young.
Edison was very worried that it would collapse. So Edison walked around the sidelines more frequently.
Marbury was still dribbling, and Nash stood in front of the three-point line, lowering his center of gravity and preparing to defend...
But Marbury did not focus more on Nash's defense, but extended his gaze to the inside, looking at the black carbon head who humiliated himself in the first half.
He felt that he wanted to embarrass him, but his reason told Marbury that he could not use violence. Apart from anything else, he could not defeat others just based on his physical strength, and his own team could not defeat the opponent. If he really fought, he would suffer.
But you can't embarrass your opponent without being aggressive or expressive, just kill him.
So Marbury made a gesture to Kurt Thomas, who was opposite Josh, to also play the pick-and-roll. Marbury just wanted to tell you that not only you can do the pick-and-roll, but we can too.
Nash's defensive shortcomings are all-round, not only poor in single defense, but also in zone defense and pick-and-roll defense. Especially in the pick-and-roll, Nash is already thin, and when he is hit by a big man, he wishes he could take three steps back and fall on the spot. Marbury
He slipped over after the pick-and-roll and faced Josh directly.
"Josh, you must be careful. I don't know how the opponent's head coach arranges it, but Marbury will definitely find a way to regain the field. You must pay more attention and be particularly careful. It doesn't matter if you let him score, but don't let his little moves
Hurt you."
Josh will be thinking about what Edison told him just now, but he is young and energetic. He can pee 6 meters against the wind, and he can still pee 30cm more from the tip of his toes. It doesn't matter what it means to let him score, no. As for small tricks, just
What could Marbury's little arms and legs do to him? So Josh was stuck in Marbury's path.
Marbury relied on his flexibility to knock out Josh's center with a cross step, and then went directly to the basket for a standard three-step layup.
But Josh did not give up after being shaken. He was optimistic about Marbury's movements, then twisted his body and jumped directly, completed a turn in the air, and made a big block, directly hitting Marbury's ball into the audience.
.
When Josh took off, Marbury had an ominous premonition, but it finally came true, and he once again became the background of the top five goals.
At this time, Marbury couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Josh falling next to him, he decided to play a trick. He deliberately moved a step towards the position where Josh fell, and then pretended to be casual and put his arms on his hips, showing his elbows.
As soon as Josh fell, the rib fork hit Marbury's elbow. Josh felt something was wrong at that time, and there was a tearing pain in his armpit and ribs, and he squatted down while covering his body.
The other Magic players saw that Marbury was playing dirty tricks, and they immediately gathered around.
None of the Magic players are efficient. We won’t mention Josh squatting on the ground.
Howard and Josh Nash were very close when they were young. They were almost blood relatives. When they saw that their brothers had been wronged, could they not be anxious? Besides, Marion, if nothing else, you can tell by his face that he is someone who is not easy to deal with.
, likes to show off, and robs banks when he has nothing to do. Iguodala is relatively better, but his name already says it clearly, "one against two." As for Nash, this is a sultry chicken thief who causes trouble. Everyone sees
Nash looks elegant and looks like a college professor when he changes his clothes, but he has a bad record on the court and often gets into trouble and fights.
I secretly thought that when Nash was playing, people always bullied him with his body. Nash had already endured enough. Once he got the opportunity to make a move, he would never let it go. Because fighting is not purely about physical fitness, but also about skills. Nash
He is very confident in his fighting skills, and he has a job on his hands. Well, that must be the case.
When there is a conflict on the NBA court, the worst thing is that the opponent circles you, and then someone will definitely take action secretly, but you are alone and have no way to resist. And people outside can't see the action in the circle, and there are no cameras.
It must be taken...
New York has always been a well-known fighting team in the league. It can be said that in the history of fighting in the league, the first is the Pistons and the second is New York.
When the Knicks' two Thomas saw something was wrong, they immediately rushed over and stood beside Marbury, not giving the Magic a chance to surround him with four men.
The scene immediately became chaotic, and the referee on duty rushed into the middle of everyone and separated the players on both sides.
Although no one actually took action, the referee still gave Marion and Kurt Thomas, who were closest, a warning out of concern for the game, and then directly kicked Marbury off the court.
Off the court, Wilkens and Edison were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat. Because of the incident at Mount Auburn, the league is now severely punishing violence on the field. If a fight broke out at this time, wouldn't it be a waste of money? Fortunately, neither side did it.
When they actually took action, the situation was relatively civilized, and the two of them put their hearts at ease.
But immediately the two began to worry about themselves. The Knicks were without Marbury and a major scoring point. The team's outside threat dropped by a notch. In addition, they were already lagging behind.
Adding insult to injury.
Edison, on the other hand, is worried about Josh's injury. You must know that the ribs are the most vulnerable part of a person, so there is the word "weak spot". Just like what is often written in martial arts novels, even if a person really becomes a golden bell iron
For cloth shirts, his cover is often also on the ribs. What's more, Josh is just an ordinary person now. He is just a little stronger than ordinary people and has not really practiced hard kung fu.
Nelson immediately entered the field with analgesic spray, sprayed it on Josh, and helped him off the field for inspection.
Edison lined up Varejao and asked Howard to switch to power forward.
As the whistle blows, the game continues.
The Knicks had no choice but to send "Penny" again. And Wilkens told him to play more inside, because now the Magic's Howard is not playing the center he is familiar with, and he needs one or two rounds to adapt.
, this was the Knicks' only chance in the half.
So Hardaway and Kurt Thomas set up a pick-and-roll, preparing Thomas to hit Nash in a misplaced position.
But an unexpected situation occurred. Kurt Thomas' usual offensive method is very simple, which is mid-range shooting. After blocking the high position with the guards, Thomas often does not go directly to the basket like ordinary big men, but instead
Take a step back, receive the back pass from the defender, and then shoot a jumper one meter inside the three-point line. This can attract the opponent's defenders, open up the basket, and create more opportunities for the defenders to break through.
Although Wilkens repeatedly told him to attack the basket, he still retreated subconsciously and missed a very good opportunity to directly attack the basket.
There was no other way, Hardaway could only reorganize and then give the ball to the other Thomas inside.
Although Tim Thomas caught the ball in the low post, he had no offensive means. He just leaned on Varejao and then stepped back to hook. The key to the hook is a soft touch, but Thomas' hands were like zombies.
Directly across the basket, Iguodala grabbed the rebound.
Wilkens looked at the poor performance of the two Thomases and slapped his thigh hard. These two insiders were so bad. Their offensive ability in the paint area was basically a second offense. It was too shameful. Look again.
Looking at the Magic's insiders, Howard, Josh, and Varejao are all young and capable, pushing veteran Juwan Howard to the bench. Wait, it seems that Uncle Huo is planning to leave the Magic and go back to manage it himself.
Let’s put forward suggestions at every level to see if we can win.
Wilkens was thinking about his little plan, but the scene was completely one-sided. The Magic generals chanted "Avenge Josh Smith" and "Fight the evil Knicks reactionaries", and they played again with high morale.
A small climax of 7-0 completely extinguished the Knicks' counterattack momentum.
And then won the game.
