Chapter 318 [Domineering Barrier, Full of Tacit Understanding]
The Raptors attacked, Jerome James didn't come out in the low post, just attracted O'Neal's defense, Carter held the ball in the middle to Kobe Bryant, organized the forward play, waited for Billups to run by covering, and passed the ball over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, Fisher was still a "small fish" rather than an "old fish", moving very fast and chasing in place, but this was all expected by Yang Rui, and the players knew what to do.
Billups leaned on his back and turned and hit the ground to O'Neal Jr., who was on the left side of the corner to ask for the ball.
O'Neal Jr. received the ball and turned around to the baseline, and shot the basketball backwards after a small step. 6 to 0.
The 32-year-old Horry defends well and is above the league average with experience, but this is against the average inside, and he will definitely be deflated against the star inside.
If he can resist Duncan and Webber, he doesn't have to defend himself, as long as he limits his efficiency, the Lakers can beat the Spurs and Kings in the past three years, and they won't be abused by the Jazz back then.
O'Neal Jr. is now at the level of a super power forward, and Yang Rui has more confidence than in his previous life. His attack range is no dead corners within the three-point line, his height, arm span, and bounce are all superior, and he is 206CM tall, and the 102-kilogram Horry can't be defended.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant hoisted the ball to O'Neal for a heads-up. O'Neal turned to the middle this time and shook the ball for a while, Jerome didn't jump or foul, just raised his hands to interfere, O'Neal took a step forward and threw the ball in. 6 to 2.
Xu Jicheng said curiously: "It seems that Yang Rui doesn't plan to use shark slashing tactics today, O'Neill will do it casually." ”
Zhang said: "Yang Rui didn't say anything about cutting sharks before the game, I think it has something to do with the depth of the interior lineup, now the Raptors only have three big men on the inside, Jalen Collins doesn't have enough game experience, if Jerome and Miller are troubled by fouls, it will be bad for the Raptors." ”
Collins was too tender, he was foul when he came out, and he was too reluctant to deal with the league's top center as a rookie at the end of the second round. So Yang Rui chose to seek stability.
If Mark Jackson hadn't been reimbursed, two strong men playing wrestling would have been absolutely cool to O'Neal. Now Yang Rui has to wait until the score is anxious or the second half to use the shark slashing tactic, in case the powerful O'Neill is punished, it is not easy to punish with confidence.
O'Neal has a clear advantage against Jerome, and O'Neal Jr. does the same against Horry.
Carter drew Bryant's defense and split the ball, ran to the right corner to open up space, Billups was caught up by Fisher, dribbled two steps, unhurriedly lobbed the ball to O'Neal Jr. at close range, and ran to the bottom left corner himself.
O'Neal Jr. turned to the rim and took the ball, attracting Horry to dribble through with his hands raised high, force a layup on the left side, and deflect it under the interference.
O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Kobe, and the Lakers made a quick break with three of them. The Raptors players retracted quickly, Kobe Bryant saw that no one was trapped, lowered his center of gravity and rushed inside, leaned on Kirilenko to the basket, pulled the lever with both hands to make a layup, made two feints in the air to avoid the block, and threw the ball out and into the right hand at close range. 6 to 4.
In terms of the ability to stay in the air, Kobe Bryant can rank in the top ten in NBA history, and making fake moves in the air makes it easier for him to dodge the block.
Yang Rui sighed on the sidelines: In basketball, the body really comes first, Superman is easier to become a star than ordinary people, if you still work hard, it is difficult to succeed.
The Raptors offense, or the same way, Fisher is getting more and more proficient in chasing defense, but it is useless, Billups is taller than him, his body is strong and not afraid of being close, he protects the basketball and passes the ball out without fancy, Fisher can't stop it.
Billups' kind of passing is generally not assisted, which makes it easy to overlook his role, but in fact, this kind of person with super execution can be called a top point guard. If there is one person from the Raptors that Yang Rui wants to take the most, it is Billups, but he has a contract now and it is difficult to trade.
In Yang Rui's previous life, comparing Chris Paul and Billups, almost everyone would think that Paul was stronger, in fact, Paul and Billups's team played against each other, with few wins, and their efficiency plummeted, and the data of the two were similar. In the 2009 playoffs, Billups' Nuggets beat Paul's Hornets by 58 points, which made Paul lose his temper.
O'Neal Jr. singled out Horry again, leaned back on his left side, shook his left shoulder slightly, and turned to the baseline. His movements flowed smoothly past Horry.
O'Neal made up for the basket, and O'Neal Jr. passed the ball with both hands. Carter then relied on Jerome to cover to get rid of Kobe, cut in the air, took a step to catch the ball, and jumped with all his feet.
O'Neal was under the basket, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Carter jumping, and before he had time to jump and foul, Carter smashed the ball into the basket with one hand, and threw his legs on O'Neal. 8 to 4.
It's almost a slap and the fans are frantically chanting "MVP"! Carter was overjoyed, and when he returned to the defense, he made a celebration on a motorcycle.
O'Neal was very faceless, the left side was in the position, Fox passed the ball to him, O'Neal hit Jerome hard, turned quickly to the baseline, jumped up with the ball with both hands and prepared to dunk.
Jerome remembered the coach's explanation, the shot was okay, but the dunk was not, and he gritted his teeth and jumped up with both hands to pull O'Neal off the air, and the ball was out of his hands.
The referee blew the whistle and O'Neal made one of two free throws. 8 to 5.
O'Neill was angry when he returned to defend and realized that Jerome was the kind of center he hated the most. As a black strong man, Jerome's confrontation ability is stronger than the Jazz's Ostertag and the Trail Blazer's Sabonis, and O'Neal wants to dunk under the defense of this kind of person, which is much more difficult than dealing with Duncan and Garnett who enter the defensive lineup.
The Raptors attacked, Billups took the ball to the frontcourt, and the Raptors also changed their routine after playing side screens many times in a row, and Jerome gave Carter an off-ball cover in the middle to block Kobe.
Carter suddenly accelerated to the left side, and Billups made a quick pass to the ball.
Carter took a step forward after receiving the ball, a 50-degree pull-up jumper, Kobe Bryant bypassed Jerome's pursuit, and the ball flew to the basket when he jumped, and O'Neal did not change his guard near the restricted area.
Carter's ball was in a very good rhythm, just in time for a time difference, and the ball hollowed into the net. 10 to 5.
The Lakers attacked, the players pulled away, Fox dropped the ball to O'Neal again, and Kobe Bryant and Fisher also began to run. O'Neill relied on Jerome to share the ball to Fisher, and he and Horry got rid of Billups without ball screens.
O'Neal Jr.'s low-post dominance can't be compared with O'Neal, and the defense is much better, and the change of defense is very timely in front of Fisher.
Fisher gave the ball to Horry, who bobbed off from beyond the three-point line, and Billups was close enough to disrupt the shot.
Horry dribbled with his back to the ball, waited for O'Neal to get in position, and hoisted the ball low to the left. O'Neal doubled his back and turned to the middle to hook his hand and dodge the block. 10 to 7.
The Raptors attacked, and Billups slowly dribbled to the frontcourt and stretched out a finger to give his teammates a code.
Fisher lowered his center of gravity, ready to prevent him from passing or cutting in the air, because he looked for Carter every time he brought it, but Billups suddenly pulled a three-pointer on the left, and Fisher was slow to react and didn't have time to jump to interfere.
The arc of the ball is not high, it is very positive, and it bounces into the back edge of the basket. 13 to 7.
Even if they don't score, O'Neal Jr. and Jerome are ready to rush for the frontcourt rebound, and the Raptors players are full of tacit understanding.
The "Zen Master" didn't call a timeout, frowning on the sidelines, two years later, the Lakers still can't prevent the Raptors' offense.
