With one point left, the Lakers can take the lead.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the situation suddenly changed and the situation changed rapidly.
The awakening of No. 13 in Los Angeles put the Great Western Forum in a mood, and they all shouted loudly to cheer for their home team.
Wilt Chamberlain? Seriously, he is indeed the "first monster in history"! But, I still say the same thing!
G7 is my stage! And your heart is far less big than mine!
I could defeat you with my own hands the year before last! Then there will be no surprises this year!
Tang Qian looked at the New York No. 10 on the opposite side and silently made a calculation in his mind. Because of the current situation, every point is crucial, so... he must not be allowed to shoot from the outside. Otherwise, with his current state, Jerry...
West can't stop him at all, so the probability of winning will be greatly reduced. What should I do? I can only let myself defend and suppress him!
This is the way for the Lakers!
After all, now, only my own competitive state can compete with him!
So there is no doubt that the best candidate is.
But, how to make the opponent give up shooting from the outside and focus on the inside? Tang Qian came up with a plan in his mind, which was to show weakness to the opponent and deliberately sell a flaw. However, the opponent was obviously not a fool and could become the accurate No. 1 position.
The superstar's basketball IQ is definitely very good, so this "bait" must be fat enough and attractive enough.
How to fix it? It's very simple, that is, use your "six-offender graduation" as a "hook" so that the other party can't help but take the bait. However, this "bait" is tempting enough, but the same risk is also
Extremely huge. Because once you are not sure, it is not your opponent who is "fooled", but you are "self-defeating" and "losing your wife and losing your army". This is a "double-edged sword", good and bad, each accounts for half.
Just as obvious.
However, Tang Qian was a little hesitant, because if he failed, the Lakers and himself would be doomed.
At such a high cost, it's not surprising that he would hesitate.
But at this moment, the opponent really showed off his power. He made a breakthrough shot and accurately drilled the basketball into the Lakers' basket. Jerry West's defense was very hard, but it didn't have a big effect. Nothing.
It means that his competitive state tonight is not on the same level as New York No. 10.
3 points lead.
Walter Frazier glanced at the Lakers' insider. Although he didn't speak, his eyes said everything.
You can't win tonight!
This is pride, and even more confidence. Walter Frazier does have the capital and qualifications this season.
Tang Qian's expression darkened. Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened.
Don’t think that the quasi-super giant at the peak of history is a brainless bastard. As the brains of the team, the No. 1 quasi-super giant’s judgment of the situation is usually the most accurate and detailed among the five players on the court. Since the breakthrough just now has no results
, then this time we can naturally adjust the offensive method and use the most advantageous method to continue to maintain the lead difference. On the offensive end, the Lakers have no difference. They continue to hand it over to No. 13 in the low post and let him have full authority. Who is calling this period of time?
Within, No. 13’s offense is the most stable and efficient?
At this critical moment, it doesn’t matter who you are or what method you use, as long as you can put the ball into the opposite basket, that’s good, that’s great, that’s the best choice! After all, basketball is
The true meaning is still a scoring game.
After seeing this situation, Reed Holzman stood off the court and shouted loudly: "High-intensity defense! High-intensity defense! Don't be afraid of confrontation! Don't be afraid of confrontation! Just be tougher! If it doesn't work, even if it doesn't work.
Stop him even if he commits a foul!!!" Both Jerry Lucas and Dave DeBusschere heard the coach's tactical instructions, and they tried their best to do it, but the effect... was not satisfactory. Tang
Under the strong blessing of "Rage", the physical ability at this moment is far beyond normal. Coupled with the already tyrannical strength attribute, at this moment, pushing from behind and pushing against the top has simply reached an astonishing point, even if they are
Even if you want to make small moves, it will be difficult to stop the Lakers' No. 13.
Bang~
"Wilt~Chamberlain~~~This is a bulldozer-like dunk! In the league, besides Los Angeles No. 13, who else can do it?" Chick Hearn explained very appropriately. He asked the Great Western Forum ball
The fan atmosphere in the stadium has always been maintained at a warm level.
"Well done! Wilt! This dunk is so cool!"
"Wilt! You were the best tonight! We will win!"
"Kill those damn New Yorkers! You are the number one center in the league!!!"
Hearing the shouts of the fans in the front row, "Tang Qian" waved his hand to reassure them that they would not lose this game.
Reed Holzman's face looked very ugly, because the team's two insiders were obviously working very hard, but they still couldn't stop the opponent. I don't know what happened to No. 13 tonight, but he actually played violently.
It was full of feeling, as if every ball was going to tear the Knicks' basket apart. Suddenly he remembered a passage from "Cardinal" Auerbach, Wilt Chamberlain's biggest problem is that basketball is not
He is the only one, so he can never defeat Boston or the Celtics. Of course, this sentence feels a bit bragging, because Chamberlain still defeated the Boston Celtics head-on, otherwise the longest dynasty in NBA history would not be
It won't be "just" eight consecutive championships. But aside from these "bragging" elements, Auerbach's meaning is also obvious, that is, No. 13 who is serious and focused will be unstoppable, far beyond people's imagination.
For example... now?
How can a 35-year-old still have such ability??? If this guy’s knees were not scrapped, wouldn’t it be even more exaggerated???
This was the 1960s and 1970s. 35 years old was basically the age when an athlete "grew old", and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's age record had not yet been released. So no matter how you look at Wilt Chamberlain in this era, he is a bit not human, a bit
It's too much. But... you fight hard and win the NBA championship. I can't give it to you!
We must find a way to give the Knicks a solid advantage!
What can we do? After Reid Holzman frowned, his mind suddenly brightened and he said:
Yes, yes, didn’t you just say the solution?
If it really doesn't work, even if it's a foul, then we have to stop him!
Yes, it's a foul! Use the foul method to send him to the free throw line!
Anyway, at the moment, no one in the Lakers team can compete with Walter Frazier, who is in raging form, except him!
Although the method may be a little "disgusting", history will always belong only to the victor!
As long as you become the final winner, the process is not that important!
Okay, let’s do it!
Just as Walter Frazier was dribbling forward, Reed Holzman called a timeout.
The Lakers and Knicks both felt a little surprised, because this timeout really came a bit "abruptly".
Returning to the team's bench, Walter Frazier asked: "Mr. Holzman, why did you call a timeout suddenly?"
"Because I thought of a way to win!" Reed Holzman said with bright eyes.
"A must-win method?" The entire New York Knicks team was stunned. After all, this sentence was too lethal and too shocking. Everyone looked at him.
, Reed Holzman said: "It's actually very simple, that's all. You all listen up, there's not much time left anyway..."
As for the Lakers, Bill Sharman stood in front of the team's No. 13 and said: "Wilt, are you okay? Can you still handle it physically?" It makes sense for him to say this, because this round of the series
Inside, "Wilt Chamberlain"'s physical strength is much worse than usual. In many games, he can't even sustain the fourth quarter. So at this juncture, he needs to ask clearly about the physical condition of this "big guy".
In what kind of situation? The former is also a famous coach in NBA history. He understands who the strongest point of the Lakers is.
"Fortunately, I have no problem." It's hard to say for other games, but now, with the blessing of "Rage", "Tang Qian"'s physical fitness will not be in any crisis at all. This is also the last minute energy he has the most in the past 7 games.
It's a full show.
"Very good, Wilt, there are only 2 minutes left, you must hold on." After Bill Sharman got the answer from Lakers No. 13, he said: "What tactical support you need, I will try my best to satisfy you."
.”
"Okay, sir, thank you." Tang Qian nodded and said.
In fact, after all this, how can there be any sophisticated tactics? Offense and defense have become the simplest and most important factors.
…
"The pause is always short, let's welcome the last 116 seconds together~" Chick Hearn said: "Ladies and gentlemen in Los Angeles, please work hard in the next time, don't be stingy.
~”
"The Great West Forum needs you~"
"The Lakers need you too~"
"Let us dedicate our efforts to Los Angeles' first championship trophy~"
&’s.go~Lakers~”
Knicks halftime.
"Isn't Coach Holzman's approach a bit~ Well, you know, Jerry~" Dave DeBusschere said.
"What's wrong?" Jerry Lucas said: "Winning is the key! As the head coach, Mr. Holzman's only focus should be winning! On the contrary, I think Mr. Holzman
Very competent and excellent, because he did everything a head coach should do~" "Well, that's right~ but I always feel like this is a bit..." Before Dave DeBusschere could finish speaking, he was asked by Jay
Lucas "mockered" and said: "Dave, what do you think? Not positive enough? Not direct enough? Not chivalrous enough? e.on~ Let's put down these so-called gentlemanly standards~ This is the NBA~ It's a battlefield~
"
"On the battlefield, who can remember the glory of the loser?"
"So, we must follow Mr. Reid Holzman's arrangements, otherwise even if we are worthy of ourselves, we will not be sorry to millions of New York fans~ Do you understand?"
"Well~ I know~ Jerry~ You are right~ I think too much~" Dave DeBusschere's face disappeared from hesitation and became firm again.
On the offensive end, Walter Frazier hit another jump shot. It seemed that he also knew how powerful the Lakers' basket was, so he temporarily gave up his thoughts and ideas of continuing to kill the inside and chose a compromise way to score. In this way, "
"Tang Qian's" internal deterrence ability was completely ineffective and was of no use at all.
This is the defensive limitation of inside players, especially centers. You can't really take care of the entire shooting area.
Not even Olajuwon.
Brush~
The score difference returned to 3 points.
And just when the Lakers passed the ball inside and were about to continue to force the team's No. 13 low post, something unexpected happened. Jerry Lucas and Dave DeBusschere actually rushed up and then attacked
"Tang Qian" quickly committed a foul. This action was done "above and above board" in front of the referee, so without any hesitation, a foul was awarded to Jerry Lucas, who was the first to strike.
Because the Knicks had already reached the number of fouls in the fourth quarter, there was nothing to say. The Lakers were sent to the Knicks' free throw line on the 13th. The referee's signal appeared and two free throws were made.
After Tang Qian saw the referee's gesture, he frowned and then stood on the free throw line.
The first penalty is "Duang"'s strike.
The second penalty was another "Duang", which hit the basket.
Although "Rage" was activated, Tang Qian already knew that this free throw was not included in the "Rage Increase". His current average free throw shooting rate is about 61%, but since it is the playoffs
Therefore, due to the influence of "inner demons", the free throw shooting rate will further decline, so it may be difficult to achieve 40% now. In this way, missing two free throws becomes extremely possible and extremely normal.
Turning around, the opponent missed another mid-range shot, which once again widened the score difference to more than 5 points.
When the Lakers had just sent the ball out of the backcourt, the referee's whistle sounded again.
The Knicks committed an off-ball foul on No. 22, and the Lakers needed another free throw on No. 13.
Suddenly, the whole audience was in an uproar, because this kind of thing was really rare in the NBA in the 1970s.
But in the eyes of "Tang Qian", the meaning is a little more profound. Because he came here in 2015, he knows very well that this defensive tactic has another nickname, which is "cutting the shark". In fact, this
The ultimate source of the name should be called the "slashing tactic". It was only because the league modified the rules for off-ball fouls for O'Neal in 2002 that it was commonly known as "slashing the shark". But before 2016, this tactic was well-known.
, but it is not popular because its real peak was actually in the 2015-2016 season, which was as high as 420 times. During this period, Shaquille O'Neal had retired for a long time. Therefore, it is the era when "shark cutting" will really be carried forward.
, it’s not the O’Neal era, but the “Warcraft”, “Little Jordan” and others who came later. The reason is that there are more and more bad guys in the league, so it eventually reaches a point where it affects the overall smoothness of the game.
You want to know how many off-ball fouls were committed in a season before the 2015-2016 season? There were only 179 in the 2014-1015 season, and what about 2013-2014? It was even less, just 115. This level is considered "tolerable"
Within the range. However, in the 2015-2016 season, off-ball fouls soared to 400+ times, which was more than the previous three seasons combined. This made the league's top officials intolerable. Therefore, a new generation of "
No Shark Cutting Rule”.
However, Tang Qian didn't know this, because his "memory" only lasted until the eve of the 2015-2016 season at most, and he had never even seen the first regular season game of the 2015-2016 season, so the new generation of "shark-cutting rules"
"He has no way of knowing. But if the new generation doesn't know, it's impossible for the older generation not to know. In order to "ban the ugly behavior of cutting sharks" in 2002, the league introduced the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and overtime.
In the last two minutes, the rule does not allow intentional fouls on players without the team. If you insist on deliberately challenging the game, the outcome will be a "tragic consequence" of two free throws and one throw.
But what about before 2002? There was no such rule.
so……
If you are hit, you can only get 2 free throws at most, and you will no longer have the right to "throw".
In this way, the other party's "conspiracy" will be completely successful.
The Lakers are also doomed to lose.
Complaining about the rules is meaningless. What you have to do now is to calm down and find countermeasures.
Otherwise, both himself and the Lakers will "lose in vain" and become a failure that can never be reversed.
After "Tang Qian" received the referee's pass, he took a deep breath and his mind began to work at overdrive.
