Chapter 315 The Strongest Maginot Line of Defense

Chapter 314 The Strongest Maginot Line of Defense
"So, Max, you didn't play 'Inside-Out'. You only passed the ball through the outside screen, and you were able to find an open three-pointer opportunity, which surprised everyone."

"It doesn't make sense, but you do it."

"I know, you will say again, you are just playing pick-and-roll like John and Karl, but you are just a little outside."

"But in fact, I talked to Sloan and he felt that it was not that simple. The things here are very complicated. I am a little curious about how Coach Rick Adelman trained you so that you have such a good situation. Strange qualities.”

Lu Yuanzhi also didn't expect that 20 years later, due to the decline of the inside line, the substitutes found by teams that were unable to play 15 pick-and-rolls would have such power in this era.

Isn't Bibby and Lu Yuanzhi's pick-and-roll a substitute for Curry and Durant's pick-and-roll?
To be able to play such a pick-and-roll, it can only be said that Bibby and Lu Yuanzhi are both outliers in this era.

Bibby's shooting ability is unique among guards in this era, and Lu Yuanzhi's ball-holding three-pointers and ultra-long three-pointers are something that no one has ever seen.

That is to say, I have never seen it, so no one has studied how to prevent it. Did Lu Yuanzhi take advantage of it?

After being reminded by the old gangster, Lu Yuanzhi finally understood where his perception was wrong.

The Spurs are strong and the Spurs are weak.

For most teams in this era, the Spurs' defense made them extremely uncomfortable and they were unable to organize an effective offense.

"Inside-Out" means scoring and playing, but when you play inside, you can't threaten the Spurs. How can you create opportunities for outside players?

At the same time, the Spurs are very good at cutting off internal and external transactions, which has no effect on this Kings team.

After Weber dived in, it was the last round of forced clearance. He didn't want to pass the ball out at all, and there was no attack time for him to pass the ball out.

In this era, except for the Jazz who used to play pick-and-rolls, most teams' pick-and-roll tactics are very rough and simple, and cannot pose a substantial threat to the Spurs.

So, the Spurs are strong.

But the Spurs are also weak because their defense is strong in the paint.

Although the Spurs have Bowen, a defensive expert, on the outside, Bowen's role is more like candy. He can stick to your ace player and prevent the ace from easily getting to the basket or making a mid-range shot easily. However, he is subject to Limited by his size and athletic ability, Bowen doesn't have much to do with open shots from beyond the three-point line.

The perimeter offenses that flowed between Lu Yuanzhi, Bibby, Turkoglu, Stojakovic, Bobby Jackson and others simply exceeded the Spurs' defensive awareness.

What the hell did you hit?Are you still shooting from the outside in the playoffs?This is probably what Popovich feels like.

But at the same time, Popovich was also helpless. His team was defeated by such a "wasteful" team in two consecutive games.

To put it in the simplest terms, the Spurs built a Maginot line of defense on the inside, but the Kings didn't care about this line of defense at all, bypassing it and attacking from the outside!

Lu Yuanzhi, who had figured it out, also knew that the Kings had missed the mark.

It can be seen from the fact that after missing two three-pointers in the third quarter, Adelman prohibited him from continuing to carry out three-point offense with the ball. Adelman may not really know why his team can win so easily. .

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly reacted, "You went to see Jerry Sloan? Do you want him to be the head coach of the Clippers?"

"What a responsive boy. What do you think?"

"He's a master of the pick-and-roll and I think he would be the best coach for the type of play you're describing."

Lu Yuanzhi was noncommittal. Maybe Sloan would be a good coach, but Lu Yuanzhi would not think that this stubborn old man was willing to leave Salt Lake City.

Moreover, it is still too early to discuss the head coach candidate. Lu Yuanzhi himself has not yet decided whether he wants to board the ship!
Moreover, Lu Yuanzhi had a higher candidate in mind, but he was unwilling to name that name right now.

Anyway, that person, without the full support of himself and Jordan, would not be able to take the seat of the head coach of another team, so there is no need to rush!
The third game moved to San Antonio. After being reminded by the old gangster, Lu Yuanzhi resumed observing the Spurs' defense on the court.David Robinson stands at the fifth center position. He moves almost near the three-second zone, mainly providing frame protection for the team.

This is the last line of defense for the Spurs. The height of 216 centimeters gives ordinary defenders and forwards a great sense of oppression, even though you know that this guy is so old that he has almost lost his athletic ability.

The line of defense in front of David Robinson is Tim Duncan.

With a height of 213 centimeters and a wingspan of 230 centimeters, he raised his hands to cover the sky and the sun.

Duncan is responsible for marking the Kings' core Chris Webber, and will also intercept breakthrough players in his direction.

On the outside of the inner twin towers, Stephen Jackson and Bowen are wandering.

Not only did they mark their opponent, but after seeing the Kings player pass the ball to Webb, they would quickly shrink without double-teaming.

In this way, they built another line of defense between the inside and outside lines, cutting off Webb's connection with outside players and preventing the Kings from playing a combination of inside and outside tactics.

Sure enough, with such a three-dimensional defensive formation, if the Kings were a traditional team, like the Lakers, then the twin towers inside would make it difficult for O'Neal to move forward, and Wu Sheng and Bowen could also cut off the internal and external connections very well.

It turns out that the secret of the Spurs' team being able to defeat the Lakers is here.

They are not afraid of sharks at all!
Even if the shark can still score points, every point scored requires several times the effort and physical fitness.

If the Sharks want to pass the ball out, they are likely to be intercepted halfway by Wu Sheng, Parker and Bowen.

What's even more frightening is that David Robinson and Duncan are both very stable players. The biggest difference between them and other insiders is their stability and that they are not prone to fouls.

Most of the insiders destroyed by the Sharks were killed by O'Neal's fouls.

As long as David Robinson is the main defender and Duncan assists in defense, the two of them can work together to strangle the invincible O'Neal.

What a powerful defensive system!

The corners of Lu Yuanzhi's mouth rose, as if he couldn't suppress the ak.

How does such a powerful defensive system have anything to do with me?
Lu Yuanzhi suddenly raised his hand and shot two steps away from the three-point line.

Bowen, who was not far away, didn't think Lu Yuanzhi dared to shoot like this in the playoffs and didn't make any defensive moves at all.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"brush!"

"Good job!"

On the coaching bench, Adelman changed his face at the speed of light. Half a second ago, blood rushed to his face and he was ready to curse Lu Yuanzhi. Half a second later, he raised his hand to applaud Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi looked back at his coaching bench when he heard the voice.

This is just the beginning!Don't get excited so fast!
