Looking at the thick eyebrows, big eyes, and youthfulness, I didn¡¯t expect that she would play such a little trick! Compared with the opening game, Zhang Hao has changed a lot. Not only his playing style, but also his style of play seems to have changed a lot.
They played against the Lakers twice in one year. The Knicks players¡¯ understanding of the Lakers and Lakers players is limited to scouting reports, news, and occasionally watching live broadcasts. They can prepare for tactics, but the feeling of playing against each other Each different player on each team may feel differently facing the same player on the same team.
At the beginning of the season, in the opening game, the Knicks players who played against the Lakers felt that there was no big difference between the Lakers and other new teams that had almost changed their lineups. At that time, they were almost the same as the Lakers. They were watching everything. manage.
It's now the end of February. In terms of cooperation and tacit understanding, the Knicks' own lineup has basically been perfected under the condition that the lineup is reasonable. The winning rate of nearly 70% is not bad. After all, the starting lineup has changed three players. .
"But the Lakers gave the Knicks players a weird feeling.
The Lakers have a tactical framework, but the Lakers still give them a feeling of "doing everything".
It was the Knicks' turn to attack. John Starks pushed the ball to the left side of the top arc. Larry Johnson helped Ewing block O'Neal under the basket. Ewing quickly pulled out to the high post on the right side of the free throw line, and Barkley switched out.
Facing Barkley, Ewing undoubtedly has a huge size advantage. Barkley can hardly prevent Ewing from catching and shooting in mid-range singles.
But John Starks did not pass the ball, but chose to break through!
John Starks is a standard individual defender. In addition to his excellent defense, although his offensive organization skills are not good, his scoring ability is outstanding. When he was 28 years old three years ago, he averaged 19 points per game. The Knicks were the major contributors to reaching the tiebreaker with the Rockets in the 1994 Finals. Although he is now 31 years old, his breakthrough is still sharp!
Doug Christie knew he couldn't stop him, so he didn't defend. Instead, he followed Zhang Hao's example and relied on his height and wingspan to cover John Starks' shooting space, and followed up with the move.
John Starks broke through to the right, and Doug Christie was blocked when he followed the arc outside the free throw line!
John Starks bypassed Ewing and led Barkley, who switched defenses immediately, to the basket!
Larry Johnson pulled away from the basket to the left side of the three-second zone. O'Neal did not extend out, but stayed under the basket. Fisher actively pulled back and went around to defend Larry Johnson.
After John Starks reached deep and attracted O'Neal's attention, he passed the ball back. Ewing moved to the right side of the free throw line again, leaned sideways against Doug Christie to receive the ball, turned around and made a mid-range shothit!
The Knicks' offense was patient, meticulous, and even felt a bit redundant.
Ewing can obviously score in isolation, but the Knicks create better easy catch-and-shoot opportunities for Ewing through running positions and the movement of other players.
But Zhang Hao feels that this is not a bad thing for the Knicks. The Lakers players also feel that the Knicks' arrangement is very smart, because it can make it easier for Ewing to play alone!
The Knicks have been working hard to create a more relaxed shooting environment this season, which has been highly praised by the media, experts, and senior fans. As a result, Jeff Van Gundy has become one of the popular candidates for the best coach.
Actually, Jeff Van Gundy on the sidelines didn¡¯t think it was useful at first. Anyway, just follow the teacher and learn from it. If the teacher is so good, you can¡¯t go wrong.
Before Pat Riley left the Knicks, he told Jeff Van Gundy to use Ewing in this way so that Ewing would play better in the future.
Jeff Van Gundy began to adjust towards this style of play last season, but the lineup at that time was very different from now. At that time, the core tactics could only rely on Ewing to drive others. Last summer, relying on the former Knicks coach now This style of play was implemented based on the suggestion of Red Holzman, the consultant to the president of the Knicks, and after successively robbing the Hornets and Nets to form a new lineup.
Anyway, Jeff Van Gundy admires Pat Riley even more because it really worked.
Not only is Ewing playing better, but the offensive stability of the Knicks team has been improved. This style of play is still very slow, which is very suitable for them to retreat quickly after taking action.
Lakers players still feel a headache after returning from the timeout. The defense of the opponent's five players is no worse than in the starting stage!
Zhang Hao rushed down immediately after Ewing took the shot, but the passing and receiving line was still blocked.
Fisher steadily advanced to the frontcourt, and after his teammates were in position, he passed the ball to Zhang Hao, who once again came to the left side of the top arc and leaned against Larry Johnson.
&nbsIt was planned like this, but he actually couldn't sit still, but he had to be steady and play this kind of style of play that he was not good at.
Any style of play, isn¡¯t it from being bad at it to being good at it
Now, it depends on which side loses its composure first.
Older age still has advantages. When the Lakers' opponent John Starks scored 5 points in a row to lead the score, the old fox calmed down, but when the Knicks' offense was interrupted after the official timeout, O'Neal dunked in a single and rotated. Doug Christie hit a mid-range shot, Jason Williams hit a tip-in and got an extra free throw opportunity. After a 6-0 run that tied the score to 32-29, Jeff Van Gundy sat first. Can't stand it anymore!
Neither team made any substitutions during the official timeout, but this time when Jason Williams stepped to the free throw line, the Knicks took the lead in replacing Ewing and Alan Houston!
Seeing Jason Williams hit the extra free throw, Zhang Hao clapped his hands.
This is applause for Jason Williams¡¯s excellent second attack, and also a celebrationthe opponent finally bit the hook!
Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish will take the bait.
The game has reached this point, and anyone with some tactical understanding can see the current situation.
The Lakers took the initiative to occupy the game, while the Knicks entered the game passively if conditions allowed.
There is no bait on the hook, but the shark is chasing after you. You can only get out of the predicament by biting the bait, but if you bite the bait, you will become passive.
Whichever side takes the initiative to replace the scorer first, the scorer will encounter the fiercest defense in the second half of the second quarter!
Jeff Van Gundy now knows this very well, but he still can't calm down.
Brian Shaw, Doug Christie, George Lynch, Jason Williams, and O'Neal started the meat grinder mode in the second half of the second quarter!
At this point in time, the team that replaces the scorer first will actually have the upper hand in opening up the offensive situation, but why have both teams resisted and did not replace the scorer first? Because an opportunity is just an opportunity, and there is only a probability of improving offensive performance. After all, probability is just a probability.
No, after Alan Houston and Ewing came on the court, the offensive improvement they brought to the Knicks was not as big as imagined!
The defense of the Lakers makes Alan Houston and Ewing feel like they are beating the Heat, and this is what happened after they and the Heat pushed their defense to the extreme!
From 7 minutes and 44 seconds to 10 minutes and 18 seconds in the second quarter, after the Knicks made substitutions, they only scored once in a sports game, and there were no free throws!
The Lakers were even worse. In two and a half minutes, they only relied on O'Neal to score 1 point by making 1 of 2 free throws.
33 to 31, the Lakers' lead was reduced by 1 point.
However, this situation made Del Harris very excited. The other party bit the bait, but he was just hooked. Whether he could get the fish into the net depends on the wrestling behind it.
Fortunately, they succeeded!
When the Knicks called a timeout, Del Harris sent out a combination of Kenny Anderson, Doug Christie, Magic, Barkley, and Zhang Hao.
The Knicks also replaced the combination of John Starks, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley and Ewing in the last minute or so.
On the Lakers side, the defensive end is determined to squat under the basket, and the opponent likes to shoot from the outside. On the offensive end, Magic and Kenny Anderson serve, Zhang Hao!
??Defensive tactics are gambling, so why not offensive tactics? So betting on Zhang Hao to put the ball into the basket is no different from tactics - excerpted from the book "The Legend of the Silver Fox" by future Lakers coach Del Harris
Zhang Hao hit a three-pointer with a strong shot, then scored two points with a dunk on a counterattack. He was fouled on a counterattack and made two free throws. In the last 1 minute and 42 seconds, he scored a 7-3 alone!
At the end of halftime, the Lakers 40 to 34, finally extended their lead to more than 5 points, ending the first half with a 6-point lead!
It¡¯s really cool!
Since Zhang Hao entered the NBA, he has never played so easily.
He can sit on the sidelines for almost a whole quarter in a game where the opponent is strong and the score is tight. This situation is unprecedented!
This is O'Neal, this is what they did after several games of running-in to determine their explosive power on the defensive end!
This feeling is so good. Others have paved the way and he comes up to harvest the game. It feels so good!
I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
