From today on is the king

Chapter 496 494. I Can Only Use That Trick!

"Don't be affected by their previous style of play! The people on that team are liars! Although they caught up with the score, we still lead by 1 point, and we still have the ball! Don't panic, don't worry! Play out our tactics! Chris, you and Peja's connection fight! Vlad, pay attention to the second pass, Doug, Mike..." Adelman, who is nearly 60 years old, loudly arranged strategies. Without tactical arrangements, Princeton played flexibly. And passing the ball to end the offense, this style of play has been integrated into their bones.

So Adelman emphasized strategy. He was confused by the Eagles before. They lost the disciplined tactics they used to play. Now they finally understand the reason for their seemingly random play in the previous three quarters. With 4 minutes left, Adelman was a little anxious. When he shouted, his face and neck turned red.

The Eagles' bench is about to overtake the score, but they are not too excited. They are excited, but they are not ahead, because they are still behind. Now the opponent called a timeout, and there must be changes. It will be more difficult to play next time!
"Nazir, pay attention to delaying the opponent's important position, Theo, the basket is handed over to you, Sharif is ready to double-team at any time..."

Unlike Adelman's emphasis on playing his own offensive characteristics on the Kings side, the Eagles' emphasis on defense is probably due to the different philosophies of the Eastern and Western teams.

As for the Eagles' offensive end, coach Kruger doesn't need to think too much now, just give the ball to Liu Mang and Jason Terry at the critical moment.

……

Timeout back, Kings attack.

Weber came to the bottom line to catch the ball, and the inside line broke through Muhammad!
Weber's physical fitness is really outstanding. Although he gradually changed to pass and old man shooting after coming to the king, but at the critical moment, he made a strong one and Muhammad was completely passed!At this time, Raheem chased after him and flanked Ratliff who was guarding the basket!
Compared with Ben Wallace, although Ratliff's physical fitness and impact are a little bit worse, his strength is almost the same. He has a greater advantage in height and wingspan. He cannot defend against Weber alone, but when another person pinches him, he can cover Weber and at the same time defend Divac behind him to catch the ball.

If we really want to talk about defensive dominance, Ben Wallace left the defensive system of two famous coaches, Carlisle and Larry Brown, and may not be as good as Ratliff. The original Ratliff has won 3 blocked shots and [-] half-time blocked shots, and was ranked in the top three of the best defensive players twice.

Ben Wallace is indeed strong, but after the Pistons failed to defend their title in the summer of 05, Larry Brown resigned. In the second year, Ben Wallace's defensive threat plummeted.

Right now, Ratliff stands under the basket and threatens Weber unprecedentedly. Seeing that Ratliff and Rahim are about to trap Weber, Muhammad also rushes back to form a three-person double-team, but this time the Kings have already prepared!

After realizing that there was no chance to catch the ball when standing under the basket, Ratliff’s long arms and defensive awareness completely covered the reasonable collision zone. When Ratliff’s attention was mainly on Weber, Divac pulled out and reached the waist on the right sideline of the three-second zone. , this guy is the Kings' most killer player in Liu Mang's mind. Therefore, under the situation that Christie has been waiting in the right corner of the weak side, Peja's left 45-degree angle on the strong side is completely empty!Divac was assigned to Peja, who was completely free, and Peja caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
really!

At the critical moment, it is still a ball for Peja!Peja is really accurate at critical moments. Although he often loses the chain in the playoffs, the title of the strongest pitcher in the regular season is really not covered. In this situation where he may be counterattacked and overtaken by the opponent if he does not score, Peja hit a key three-pointer!
Everyone has the ability to pass the ball, and everyone has such a good vision. The key is that everyone has a good scoring ability, and they can't help flanking and chasing defenses.
After the goal, the Kings quickly returned to the defense. Weber and Divac actually returned to the defense when Peja shot. Firstly, it was because of their trust in Peja.

Seeing that the counterattack was hopeless, Liu Mang was not in a hurry, and fought steadily. There were still three minutes and 39 seconds, and the time was still long.

The Hawks are also low post. With a big center like Ratliff under the basket, it is more suitable to play positional warfare.

The Eagles ran very well tactically. Liu Mang and Muhammad made a pick-and-roll breakthrough. When Liu Mang reached the middle distance, Christie came over to defend him in time. Liu Mang assigned it to Jason Terry. At this time, Peja switched to defend Jason Terry. Jason Terry passed to Raheem who was in the middle distance from the bottom line.

The tactics ran very well, and he did a good job of sharing the ball, but today Raheem's touch is really mediocre, and his shooting percentage at the basket is only [-]%.

The Kings' defensive strategy...is advanced!Defending 3 points, defending against breakthroughs and defending the basket, exposing the mid-range, and what was exposed was Raheem, who has a bad touch. Although Adelman did not specifically emphasize defense, the Kings deserved to be the strongest team with both offense and defense last season. Thibodeau's defensive system is really good.

The Eagles hurried back to defense. Fortunately, the Kings' offense also missed this time. Peja missed a three-pointer this time!

Missing shots seemed to be contagious, and then there was a 90-second scoring drought between the two teams.

Peja hit the iron with a three-pointer, Liu Mang missed a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop, Webber made a short throw, and Ratliff received the ball and wanted to hit Divac for a layup, but Divac made an offensive foul...

As Christie's three-pointer bounced off the backboard and went out of bounds, the Eagles couldn't sit still. With two minutes and nine seconds left, Coach Kruger called a timeout.

96 to 100, the Eagles have not scored a point since the last time the Kings called a timeout!
The conventional tactics were completely seen through by the Kings. The Kings are really too strong!
Liu Mang walked towards the bench while thinking about what to do, there was nothing he could do with conventional play!Both teams have big centers, and it is difficult to hit the basket. The inside line is completely occupied by Ratliff and Divac, two seven-footers, and Webber and Muhammad, two full-tonnage power forwards. Ratliff cannot be replaced, otherwise Weber will not be able to prevent Webber from raging at the basket.

The key is that it is too difficult for me to score. Jason Terry was targeted, Raheem couldn't make a mid-range shot, and couldn't get in the basket.

The key is that you can't play blindly at this time. Although it is also a solution, playing blindly in the last few minutes is playing with fire.

It's not that there is no confidence, but that the Kings have been so strong in the past two years.

Liu Mang's head grew big, suddenly, he thought of a trick he was practicing recently...

But very uncertain!
I just started practicing...

Liu Mang's heart swelled, and he loved it, so let's do it!
"Boss of the system, use 295 skill upgrade cards..."

Liu Mang upgraded the bonus skill of that trick to level 5, and there are only 322 skill upgrade cards left, which is only enough to upgrade one more skill, but the remaining skills are useless if there is no matching personal skill upgrade for the time being, so there is no need to worry.

Make up your mind to make a whole wave, just get ready!
When Liu Mang came to the bench, Mike Woodson directly handed the tactical board to Liu Mang. There was no other reason. It was because Coach Kruger had already reached the point of turning over small notes just now, and there was no good way. Therefore, it took almost 2 minutes for the Eagles to score without calling a timeout. They wanted to see if the players could solve it themselves.

But a full 2 ​​minutes have passed since the last time the Kings called a timeout, and the Eagles didn't make a single shot. Coach Kruger had to call a timeout.

This time Liu Mang took away the tactical board, coach Kruger not only did not complain, but was a little excited and slightly relieved. Liu Mang took the tactical board, there must be a way!Coach Kruger was very satisfied with this disciple who didn't know when he learned the wrong way, and surrounded Liu Mang with the players who were used to it.

"Sharif, you go off the court to rest first, Tyshawn comes up to defend Peja, don't give him an open space, don't double-team, just defend alone, we all defend alone, Carlos comes up, stick to Webber, don't let him have a chance to create Oldman's shot... What are you laughing at, isn't his style of play the same as the Oldman's style of play, you give him physical contact, if he still gets the position, you shoot him to death. Although you didn't scare O'Neal, but your face probably can scare Webber... Under Boozer's resentful eyes, Liu Mang arranged a wave of defense, and then arranged an offense, "Tyshawn and Carlos opened up space, Jason went to the top arc to hold the ball, and Theo was here to meet me..."

There is nothing wrong with the defensive tactics. Now the Kings seem to feel cold. The Eagles have not scored in 2 minutes, and the Kings are not much better. They have not scored in a minute and a half. The single-defense strategy is feasible.

But on the offensive end, even Rahim, who was a little confused when he was replaced at a critical moment, was shocked when he heard Liu Mang's offensive tactics.

Raheem was replaced at a critical moment, and I still feel a little uncomfortable, but what can I do, I really didn't play well...

However, fortunately, Raheem's attention was diverted, and he doubted that this offensive tactic...can a second-year student do it?Needless to say, even the Eagles players felt unreliable this time, but the second graders will always surprise people, and Raheem is a little bit looking forward to it!

　Return to Chengdu the day after tomorrow, and resume normal updates next Monday~ Finally everything is resolved~
