"Damn! Damn! Are you all possessed? Are you all controlled by a wizard? Why can't both of you grab a low rebound? Huh???" Knicks head coach Reid Holtz
Man was a little angry, his eyes bulging, like an old cow about to go wild. He couldn't help but be angry. The Knicks' rebounds in this game were almost exploded. This kind of "spectacle" is rare in ten years.
It completely disrupted Reid Holzman's arrangement. The defensive intensity on the outside basically met his pre-match requirements, but what about the inside? The two of them combined didn't have four or five rebounds. What's going on?
?
This situation only happened twice in his memory, and both happened 12 years ago.
In 1960, the extremely terrifying "rebound incident" occurred in the first and second seasons. In February, Russell only set a single-game record of 51 rebounds in a single game. Immediately the next season, in November, Will
Chamberlain broke the record of his old rival, grabbing 55 rebounds and completely humiliating the Boston people. But these are very far away records. Even Chamberlain and Russell should be the same now.
It's only right to lose this "peak ability", how is it possible...
Wait, why is it impossible?
Suddenly another voice sounded in Reed Holzman's heart.
Didn't Bill Russell once grab 40 rebounds in the Finals? Chamberlain had more rebounds in a single game in the regular season and playoffs, so why not in the Finals? Thinking of this, Reid Hall
Ziman's anger gradually subsided. He thought carefully about the scenes in the first three quarters and felt that the Knicks' inside performance was still good, even a little extraordinary. However, they were still defeated completely by the Lakers' No. 13.
, a complete mess.
this……
He suddenly went to the assistant coach behind him and brought over a field data sheet. On the column No. 13 of the Lakers, there was a clear Arabic numeral, 39.39 rebounds? Damn it!!! Why not?
Would you have noticed this problem earlier??? This guy is obviously going to be here tonight...
"Jerry, Dave, just try your best to rebound in the fourth quarter. If it doesn't work, we will use other methods to deal with the Lakers." Seeing the angry head coach just now, his face suddenly changed.
Jerry Lucas and Dave DeBusschere were both a little dazed, but it was always a blessing not to have to bear the anger, so they nodded together.
"In the fourth quarter, the whole team is devoted to the offense. Regarding rebounds, grab them if you can. If you can't, don't force them. The first priority is to score offensively." Reed Holzman is the most important player in history.
He is a famous coach, so he quickly adjusted himself, carefully analyzed the situation, and arranged tactics: "Walter, as the starting point of the offense, try to kill the opponent. I saw that the Lakers' inside line basically had about three personal fouls.
If you can kill him off the court, that would be great. The same goes for the rest of the team, increasing their offensive desire and efficiency, but focusing on inside kills and reducing outside shots, do you all understand?"
"Understood, sir." The Nix soldiers nodded in agreement.
From these words, we can see Reed Holzman's tactical ability and situation analysis ability. Now that he found out that it was possible that he could not handle No. 13's rebound, he simply stopped thinking about it and used other methods instead.
There are many ways to seek breakthroughs and victory. For example, increasing breakthroughs and increasing inside kills are an excellent way to contain it. No matter how good your rebounding state is, once you get off the court, won't it be useless? Even so.
It's a change of direction to contain it, and a change of direction to solve it.
At this point, the flexibility and adaptability of famous coaches are countless times better than those of ordinary NBA coaches.
Because under normal circumstances, the average head coach will definitely continue to strengthen the inside and "invest" inside "troops", but for "Tang Qian" tonight, it can be said that it is of no use. It is completely seeking death and ruining New York.
The Knicks had the last glimmer of hope for a comeback. But Reed Holzman was different. After he discovered the "abnormality" of the Lakers' No. 13, he quickly changed his formation and decisively gave up. This kind of courage is definitely one of the "Top Ten in NBA History".
The title of "Great Marshal".
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Knicks changed. Led by No. 10 Walter Frazier, they began a massive inside attack. Although the shooting rate was not high, as time went by, the lethality became apparent.
Happy Hairston committed 5 fouls and Tang Qian committed 4 fouls. The Lakers' inside line gradually fell into foul trouble. This was the result of Happy Hairston blocking a foul for the former, otherwise it would have been Tang Qian.
5 fouls. There are still nearly 8 minutes left. As usual, Happy Hairston has to take a rest.
"Wilt, be careful, the New Yorkers seem to be targeting you on purpose!" Happy Hairston and "Tang Qian" warned before going off. "Well, I understand, Happy.
"Tang Qian" nodded when he heard this. For the real Lakers No. 13, this kind of thing is simply whimsical. Why? Because Chamberlain played 1,045 regular season games and 160 playoff games in his life, but
There has never been a record of being off the field with six fouls. For an inside player, this is almost a "miraculous" thing. So if it is the real Wilt Chamberlain, he will definitely not let the New Yorkers succeed. But
The problem is...the current Lakers No. 13, he is "Tang Qian".
Therefore, this vigilance must be increased.
Have you started to pay attention? New York No. 10 seemed to have seen something, and he changed his mind and said: In this case, I will use more sharp attacks to completely end your golden record of not leaving the game for 12 seasons!
Just wait and see, the Big Dipper, the finals, is my big stage!
"New York Frazier is moving forward with the ball. He broke into the Lakers' interior. But now in front of him is No. 13 Wilt. Can Wilt prevent this ball? Oh? Frazier has no choice.
The first time he made a layup and a throw, he continued to move forward and hit Wilt's body directly." Under Chick Hearn's commentary, New York 10 made an offensive approach and forced the Lakers.
The ball had a strong impact and hit Tang Qian very hard, but at the last moment, he still avoided the former's shot-blocker and threw the orange-red basketball with one hand.
Up in the air.
"Tang Qian" does not have the blessing of the silver defense card at this moment, so it is difficult to be accurate and predict in advance.
Brush~ The basketball hollowed into the net.
"You're lucky with this ball, Wilt. You won't be so lucky next time." Walter Frazier didn't seem to be completely satisfied with the result, so he scolded "Tang Qian" before returning to defense.
Dao. Because his original intention of the ball was to cause a defensive foul on Lakers No. 13, but in G7 of the Finals, the referee was very cautious in giving the whistle. In addition, this is the home court of Los Angeles, so there was no foul penalty.
Gale Goodrich's mid-range shot seems to be due to the problem of "rebounding", so he was the most relaxed and accurate in shooting in this game. His current comprehensive shooting rate exceeds 60%, which is extremely excellent. Those who defend him are
The person is Earl Monroe. Although Monroe's defensive attitude and motivation are much stronger than before with the Baltimore Bullets, he is still the "weakest link" on the outside of the New York Knicks.
hateful!
Seeing Gale Goodrich using himself as a "cash machine", Earl Monroe was very angry, but he had no good solution. Because the Lakers No. 25 relied on "the rebound inside" to shoot more and more
No matter how much pressure the latter exerted, he looked indifferent.
This is the huge benefit brought by "having a board".
The Lakers' offensive level has soared several levels.
"Earl, don't worry about it, just call him back later." By the seventh game, it was clear who was the key player and core pillar of the Knicks. Although the "Black Pearl" is quite famous and has many fans, even
He created the "invincible turn", which made the boring back line shine at the time. His gorgeous style of play began to become popular in the league. But when really comparing the key abilities, he and Walter Frazier on the same team were really far apart.
A little bit. In addition, he just moved to New York in the middle of this season. He has not adapted well to the team style here, so this season, both the regular season shooting percentage and the playoff shooting percentage have dropped.
This is a career low for "Black Pearl". Only a fool coach would give such instructions by letting him take charge of the key rounds.
In fact, "Tang Qian" knows that historically, Earl Monroe is a performer, and the regular season is more suitable for him than the playoffs. Otherwise, with a shooting percentage of 20% and 30%, as a key attacker,
It's really ugly. Nowadays, a main guard's shooting percentage in the playoffs is only over 20%. It doesn't take much to make him a dog in an instant.
But No. 10 Walter Frazier is different. He is born with a big heart, so when facing key scenes, his condition becomes stronger and his abilities surge. In the past few games, Tang Qian has fully experienced his power, so this
In the tiebreaker, he paid special attention to the outside line at position 1. But pay attention, without the blessing of the silver defensive card, Tang Qian's defensive ability at the moment is extremely insufficient. Not to mention,
The "Inner Demon" was weakened, and 30% of the competitive status was lost for no reason.
So once Walter Frazier "exploded", he was completely at a disadvantage, and there was almost nothing he could do against the former.
Under the continuous impact, the referee finally gave New York No. 10 a whistle and determined that Lakers No. 13 had committed a defensive foul. He needed to stand on the free throw line and make two free throws. As for Walter Frazier, he had the opportunity to get a free throw.
, is not the purpose, because his first goal is to get the Lakers' No. 13 into foul trouble, or even directly foul out.
Finally, he succeeded.
Tang Qian took the game on his back with his fifth personal foul.
Before taking the free throw, Walter Frazier smiled specifically at him and said: "Big Dipper, it seems like your star is going to dim tonight~ Don't you have the gold medal record of never committing a full game? Hey
~Tonight, right here, in my hands, let me bring it to an end for you~" "Tang Qian" frowned when he heard this, and said: "Do you want to ask me to end it? I won't let you do it.
of!"
"Haha~ Wilt, that's not up to you~ This is something that the referee and I can decide~" Walter Frazier looked at the Lakers' No. 13 and said: "Now you are the prisoner who is about to be beheaded.
, there are no miracles, only death, understand?" After saying that, he started to go to the free throw line to shoot free throws, "swish" twice, and the basketball hit the net accurately, as if to add weight to New York No. 10's words.
The situation changed in the blink of an eye. The Lakers' No. 13's inside influence and presence instantly weakened.
There is no way around this. You have committed five fouls. It is impossible not to instinctively protect yourself subconsciously. In this way, the deterrence and threat to the opponent will be greatly weakened and even become "tangible but not tangible".
"Get up. After several rounds of offense and defense, Lakers assistant coach K.C. Jones said to Bill Sharman in his seat: "Bill, the situation is not good. Wilt fell into trouble because of a foul.
In the 'protection circle', the New Yorkers' interior offense will become relaxed and worry-free." "Well, I know, what do you think? Do you have to replace Wilt? Now Happy is already 5
A foul was committed, and only the substitute insider could take over if they had to substitute, but their inside power would be completely different from that of Wilt, and would even be inferior to the current "costy" Wilt." Bill Sharman
It also talked about the current situation of the Lakers, and in the 1960s and 1970s, it was the norm to use the main force ruthlessly. If you use the substitutes, the effect will be greatly reduced, and you will not save one out of ten.
"But Bill, there are about 6 minutes left in the game. If we don't protect Wilt, then we won't have the main inside man available at the decisive moment." What KC Jones said is not unreasonable. There are still about 6 minutes left in the game.
, in half a quarter, any mistake is enough for the Lakers' No. 13 and 6th fouler to leave the game. At that time, the Lakers' rebounding advantage and inside advantage will be gone in an instant.
"Hmm... let me think about it." This situation made Bill Salman, who had always been decisive, also fall into hesitation.
After all, in the final battle, any decision may have the ultimate impact on the series.
Bill Sharman would hesitate, and it's natural, because the Lakers' backup center is too weak. If he replaces it, he will definitely not be able to withstand the two Knicks interior players who are in improved condition. That's ten points.
Poor, it can't stand a few consumptions at all.
What should I do? How should I decide? Substitute him or keep him on the court?
What should I do most correctly?
Bill Salman is deeply entangled.
