The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 41 Crazy Idea

"That's right, coach, I think we should play faster. The offense must end within 10 seconds, or even within 7 seconds."

What Chen Mo said was not just talking nonsense, but based on the truth.

Still the Lakers, in the 09 Western Conference semifinals game against Mosaic.

That season, McGrady was reimbursed early, and in the semifinals, Yao Ming was also reimbursed after the first game.

Logically speaking, under the circumstances at that time, it can be said that Mosaic had no chance.

After all, only Ci Shiping could barely see the mosaic at that time, and everyone else was supporting roles.

But the Ci Shiping at that time was no longer the Pacers' Ci Shiping who was good at attacking and defending.

At that time, Ci Shiping was just a guy who defended well, and his offense was purely physical and mental.

Under such circumstances, Mosaic abruptly fought the Lakers until the tiebreaker before losing.

After Yao Ming retired from injury, the Lakers' inside line is dominated by Gasol, Bynum and Odom, which can be described as full of advantages.

It's just that Mosaic did the opposite at the time. Do you have an inside advantage?

I'm calling your inside line.

Of course, this is not to say that Adelman is playing inside all at once, but is constantly speeding up.

In a game where the pace of offense and defense is constantly accelerating, the Lakers' inside advantage still exists, but it has also become a loophole.

It wasn't until the final tie-break, when Phil Jackson started Odom, that he won the game steadily.

At that time, many people said that Phil Jackson's stubbornness allowed the Lakers to reach the tiebreaker.

If he changed his lineup early and put Odom in the starting lineup, he might have won the series early on.

People who say this are purely brainless. The Lakers were the runner-up last season. Are they aiming for the semifinals?

Certainly not, but the champion.

If a team changes formation and speeds up the offensive and defensive rhythm, they don't want to break it, but change formation, wouldn't it be self-defeating?
That is to say, the Nuggets, Billups and Anthony are not players who can bombard, otherwise the Nuggets can do this.

Closer to home, today's University of Kansas is a bit like the Lakers in terms of configuration.

It is not easy to fight inside, or find ways to limit the two cores.

But if UCLA can continue to speed up, Collison is certainly a strong point of the University of Kansas, but it will also become a weakness.

Under the repeated request of Coach Steve, Chen Mo made some suggestions.

The first is to speed up. The transition between offense and defense must not give the opponent a chance to deploy troops. Try to disrupt the defense as much as possible. It is best to end each attack within 10 seconds.

Chen Mo didn't say anything about attacking in 7 seconds. It's really too demanding for a concubine to do it!

The second point is the three-pointer, throw a three-pointer if you have the opportunity, and anyone can throw it if you have the opportunity.

The third point is that for a certain period of time, five small lineups can be used to take down the big center and speed up crazily.

I have to say that Chen Mo's suggestion was very crazy, even though Steve was very bold, he was still a little scared.

The first two points are fine. After all, that's what UCLA does now, but it's more extreme.

But the third point is that it really directly subverts the tradition.

You know, even in the era of guards, the inside line, especially the dominant traditional inside line, is still very important.

Abandoning the center directly, I have to say, Steve was a little scared.

Back to the game, the start of the two sides can be said to have played back and forth, which was very exciting.

With Nick Collison hitting back again, the score came to 8:9, Kansas leading by one point.

But the problem is that Collison scored all 9 points by himself, and he played a dominant performance.

Fortunately, UCLA played well, but in the opening 4 minutes, they even played two fast breaks.

It can be said that the tactics of the two sides were very successful and played their own style.

Just when UCLA was about to serve, Kansas took the lead in calling a timeout. Although they were leading, they had to change.

It would be unwise to allow Nick Collison to follow the fast pace of UCLA.

Steve also quickly greeted everyone: "Very good, very good, just keep playing like this.

Hollins, don't save your energy, keep running on the court for me. "

For the next attack, Steve also deliberately used a tactic to pursue a three-pointer.

At present, although UCLA is only one point behind, the three-pointer has not been opened, which is always a hidden danger.

The whistle sounded, and the two sides returned to the basketball court again. Kansas really made adjustments.

Wayne Siming was replaced by small forward Michael Lee.

I have to say that the lineups of both sides are very interesting, both are a big and a small lineup.

Kansas' goal is also very clear, which is to change to a smaller lineup in response to UCLA's offensive and defensive transition.

The coach arranged a tactic, so naturally it must be strictly implemented. This is a three-pointer tactic.

This is a cross screen. Chen Mo completes the screen for Cassano, and Cassano circles to the top of the arc to catch the ball.

The tactical execution was very successful, but now it is Michael Lee who followed Cassano, he followed Kapono, and completed the interference.

Nick Collison quickly stuck Hollins, and Hollins was also looking for opportunities to rebound.

"careful!"

The two only had each other in their eyes, until a reminder interrupted their confrontation.

At the same time as Kapono shot, a figure rushed into the inside line, and as the ball was ejected, that figure also jumped high.

Collison and Hollins jumped up to grab the rebound at the same time. Collison had an advantage in getting stuck and was about to take off the rebound.

Suddenly, Collison intuited a black shadow covering him, and at the same time, a pair of arms protruded from his head.

The hands that were neither white nor black grabbed the backboard first, and then slammed it hard at the basket.

"boom!"

There are two tall men over 210cm in between, even though there is one of them, but the audience is also instantly ignited.

Even if this is the home court of the University of Kansas, at this time, it can't stop the excitement of the audience.

"BANG..."

Mike Breen's iconic voice sounded, such an incomparable dunk, it was so exciting.

Hollins glanced at Chen Mo with a little resentment, am I blocked by my own people?

On the court, on the bench, the UCLA players celebrated wildly, it was really wonderful.

"This month's top ten balls are already booked!"

"Oh, it's hard to imagine that Chen is so crazy!"

……

Everyone was a little excited, except for the Kansas players, of course.

On the basketball court, dunking has always been the most exciting moment, and it is also the way to damage the morale of the opponent the most.

"Hey guys, the game has only just begun, this is not the end!"

Hinrich is worthy of being the core of the University of Kansas. When everyone's confidence was hit and Collison was a little bit lost, he took the initiative to stand up.

Facing Dijon Thompson's three-pointer, the score was overtaken again, and UCLA's high morale was instantly suppressed.
