NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

With one and a half minutes left in the game, the Bulls were leading by one point.

Because of Superstar Whistle's care, although Hua Dao blocked Boss Qiao's fatal blow, it was equivalent to not blocking it!

Hua Dao watched the boiled egg-headed guy about to step onto the free throw line, and kept recalling the statistics of "Old Rogue" this season in his mind!

In the regular season of the 1995-96 season, [Old Rogue] was undoubtedly the number one player!

He averaged 30.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game in the regular season.

And the 83.4% free throw rate which is closely related to the following free throws!

What does this free throw percentage mean?

That season, only "Three-Point Killer" Reggie Miller's 86.3% and the Kings' Mitch Richmond, nicknamed "The Rock", with 86.6%, were higher than him.

(In the first ten years of his career, Mitch Richmond averaged more than 21 points per game each year, was selected as an NBA All-Star for six consecutive years, and won an All-Star MVP once. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 6)

Therefore, Huadao believes that it is unlikely that the "Old Rogue" who performs well in the fourth quarter and stands at the free throw line will miss the free throw!

Sure enough, [Old Rogue] made two consecutive free throws with ease.

The Bulls instantly led the Raptors by 3 points!

Considering the last minute and a half, this score gap is already a very dangerous one!

Especially now that both teams have been told by their head coaches to play with a high success rate.

"Beep, the Raptors request a timeout!"

Coach Landon Malone decisively called a timeout after "Old Rogue" made two free throws, and he wanted to arrange the next tactics.

If the Raptors fail to score in this next attack, the game is basically over!

Ma Long clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, then took the tactical board and said:

"Next, we will set up a simple high-post pick-and-roll tactic."

"When the play is initiated, Tracy, you will first provide a screen for Damon on the wing."

"After the screen, you go directly to the bottom corner to create space at the top of the arc and prepare for the three-point shot in the bottom corner."

"Flower, when Tracy slides down the baseline, move up to the free throw line—the top of the arc!"

"Give Damon a second screen (-block-) to create the illusion that Damon has broken through and finished."

"At this time, Tracy in the bottom corner, you have to quickly move to the 45-degree three-point line and pull out the delay in the inside!"

"While Damon was breaking through, Flower, you also went straight down to the restricted area from outside the free throw line to finish (-demolition-)."

"Whether it's Damon who was screened twice or Flower who rushed forward, I believe no one on the Bulls can stop them!"

"Go!"

"Oh" x5!

The short break ended and the game resumed.

Oliver Miller passed the ball to Das from the outside, and Das quickly advanced with the ball.

Just after midcourt, Tracy Murray was already standing on the outside wing of the three-point line, ready to screen for Das.

With the help of Murray's screen, Das briefly got rid of No. 25 guard Kerr.

But he is about to face a more powerful man~ [Michael·Everywhere I Am·Jordan]!

Compared with the well-known offensive ability of "Old Rogue", it seems that people can only roughly evaluate that "Old Rogue" has strong defensive ability based on the superstar's ability to dominate both offense and defense.

However, it is hard to tell what the specific defensive strengths of [Old Rogue] are.

To give a simple example:

Also selected to the first defensive team, Kobe averaged 1.4 steals per game and Jordan had 2.3. Kobe averaged 0.5 blocks per game and Jordan averaged 0.8.

When [Old Rogue] scored historical data of 37.1 points, 5.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds, people often selectively ignored this man's defensive data!

Or maybe the NBA was so shocked by his scoring ability that they even forgot to analyze his defense.

While averaging 37+ points per game, [Old Rogue] also averaged 2.9 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and had three games with as many as 8 steals!

The reason why the defense of "Old Rogue" is overlooked is that the players who ranked ahead of him in steals that year, Elvin Robertson, who ranked first, and Maurice Cheeks, who ranked behind him, both made the first team of the best team that year.

However, the second-ranked [Old Rogue] was selectively ignored and didn’t even make it into the second team.

The league only recognized his title of "Scoring Champion" that season!

Back to the game!

Das briefly got rid of Cole with the help of his teammate Tracy Murray's cover.

Facing the "old rogue" who would occasionally steal the ball was like walking on thin ice. The last goal was lost because Hanamichi was successfully stolen by the man in front of him.

Therefore, Dasi was very cautious, but soon he saw the dawn of victory!

It was because Hanamichi reached the middle distance silently with super fast speed and pace, and blocked the right side of [Old Rogue] with his strong body.

Das took advantage of the situation and broke through from his left side.

"That's a beautiful block, Flower!"

The left-handed Das broke through from the left side and was about to step into the paint.

[Old Rogue] then hurriedly followed, Bill Winnington straightened his chest, raised his hands high, and also came out from the inside to pressure Das' offensive space!

Two people double-teamed the 178cm tall [Little Flying Squirrel] from the front and back, which was really a good show!

But at this time, when everyone ignored the perfect "blocking" flower path, Dasi did not forget!

There is still a second half to their tactics - the "demolition" has not been completed yet!

After delaying the "Old Rogue", Huamichi turned around and rushed to the inside from the free throw line.

At this time, in the Bulls' inside line, power forward Ron Harper was being attracted by Tracy, who was moving quickly without the ball to the 45-degree three-point shooting point.

Center forward Bill Wennington was defending Big S who was rushing in near the sideline of the penalty area, trying to cooperate with the latecomer Boss Joe to nip his attack in the bud!

In just two seconds, Hanamichi ran back to the basket at full speed.

Maybe that's why head coach Landon Malone asked Hanamichi to go outside the free throw line or even to the top of the arc!

Because he trusted Hanamichi's athletic ability! He believed that he could run back to the basket in a short time and initiate the offense.

Sure enough, when Hanamichi just entered and was still thinking about whether to slow down, Das passed the ball like a scalpel and accurately delivered the basketball to Hanamichi.

Hanamichi didn't even need to dribble. He just held the ball with both hands and jumped up, completing the attack with a two-handed dunk!

The ball went in, and the Raptors withstood the pressure at the critical moment and pulled back 2 points.

Now the gap on the field is only 1 point, and the Bulls are under a lot of pressure.

The Raptors didn't even have time to celebrate before they rushed back to defense!

Because the next person to hold the ball is that [God]!
