Chapter 60

The suffering of the Grizzlies is not over yet. The trio finally managed to get playing time.

Fortunately, the head coach of the Grizzlies reacted quickly and replaced the main force in time, which stabilized the situation.

On the coaching bench, Adelman and the assistant coaches also noticed that the fast break of Lu Yuanzhi's trio was different from the usual training.

"Rick, there seems to be something wrong with Hido's movement. Why did he go to the bottom corner?" Assistant coach A asked the question in his mind, "This does not meet the tactical requirements. Do you want to remind him?"

Adelman shook his head, "Now there are substitutes on the court. Let them play freely as long as they can score. I gave him and Bobby the right to fire freely."

The assistant coach nodded, but still had doubts on his face, "Why did he run to the bottom corner? Is there anyone who plays fast break like this?"

Adelman laughed after hearing this, "It's normal. This is a very popular tactic in Europe. Because they can do a complete zone defense, the inside is often full of people. Even if it's a fast break, there will be people running." Try to shoot a three in the corner."

"Hedo probably forgot for a while, the NBA's zone defense is only a half-zone defense, and he habitually moves to the bottom line."

"Rick, you are so knowledgeable. You know basketball knowledge that none of us know!" The assistant coach took advantage of the situation and started to flatter him, but Adelman was very helpful.

No, I seem to have caught some inspiration?Adelman frowned.

Joint defense?

European players?

Can we play zone defense?There are quite a few players on the team who are familiar with zone defense!

And if you take it out suddenly, it may have miraculous effects!
Adelman quickly figured out what was that flash of inspiration?
You can try it in training sessions.

Adelman jotted the idea down in a notebook.

This year, the league allowed zone defense, but retained the 3-second defensive violation. Many players on many teams have never been exposed to zone defense, and seeing restrictions, they ignored it and continued to play man-to-man marking.

But the Kings are really qualified to play. The main players and rotation players have high intelligence. Divac, Stojakovic and Turkoglu have played zone defense since they were young, so they will get started much faster than others.

It's not a whole game, it's suddenly a zone defense in certain rounds, disrupting the opponent's layout, which should have miraculous effects.

Lu Yuanzhi and the other two didn't know that their head coach had lost his mind. They liked the Grizzlies' point-chasing action too much.

If the Grizzlies don't play, the score will continue to be spent, and it will become a [-]-[-] point difference. The coaching staff may not be able to replace all the water dispenser administrators to feel the atmosphere of the game.

However, it is difficult for this kind of thing to happen. Although everyone has a similar level before entering the NBA, within three years, they will become clearly differentiated from weak to strong.

One reason is the self-training during the offseason. Self-disciplined people can always strengthen their shortcomings at the end of the summer, or add new weapons to their arsenal.

Another reason is the court experience. Those water dispenser managers who have not played for a long time have a hard time adapting to the high-intensity game rhythm of the NBA.

Although the three of Lu Yuanzhi are good players in the rotation, they are not yet at the level where they can easily defeat the main lineup of other teams.

Especially since Lu Yuanzhi is a freshman and Turkoglu is a sophomore, they have not trained themselves in the offseason to polish their skills.

Oh, Lu Yuanzhi is not just a matter of polishing his skills. He has only played more than 20 NBA games and has not earned enough free attributes. Now he has no chance to add points to his dribbling.

Otherwise, if the trio went on a fast break, Lu Yuanzhi attacked the basket in the middle, Turkoglu and Bobby Jackson ambushed in the bottom corner, and suddenly attacked the basket again, even if the opponent returned to defense with three or four players, they would not be able to defend easily.

Now Lu Yuanzhi lacks the means to attack the basket, and his only option is to rush to the basket, which also greatly reduces the power of the three-man fast break group.

Throughout the second quarter, the main players of the Kings did not play. The substitute lineup was composed of Lu Yuanzhi, Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu, constantly paired with the main rotations of Funderburk, Pollard, and Gerrard- Wallace, Smith these fountain administrators.

The Grizzlies didn't just let the Kings play fast breaks. After being sprayed bloody by the coach, the younger Grizzlies began to spare no effort in their physical strength. They even stopped rushing for offensive rebounds and tried their best to retreat. .

"No. 4!" Bobby Jackson received Turkoglu's pass and shot a three-pointer from the left corner. Battier followed him to the bottom corner very smartly and successfully interfered with his shot. shot.

It can only be said that players with brains may be the first to react, but in the NBA, brains are rare items. Most players have sacrificed their brains in exchange for strong bodies.

But what can you do if you see through Battier?
The ball was a bit out of the way, and Gasol tried to run back to the inside, but the ball bounced to the left field, and he didn't touch the basketball at all.

Lu Yuanzhi steadily got the long rebound before the Grizzlies players could react.

Happy, another offensive rebound.

Before taking off, Lu Yuanzhi noticed that Turkoglu ran to the right baseline after passing the ball. There were no defensive players there, and Bobby Jackson did not stay where he was after shooting and rushed to the inside.

The Grizzlies players were still retreating one after another, and the two men's running caused chaos in the Grizzlies defense.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't think Bobby Jackson could take advantage of Gasol, who had returned to the inside, so he smashed the ball toward the right baseline.

The basketball flew straight to the right baseline like a cannonball. It was very fast. Before the retreating Grizzlies players could react, Turkoglu took off after receiving the ball and shot a three-pointer.

"Number 2!"

No. 2 again?Turkoglu feels good!

Lu Yuanzhi stopped hesitating and rushed straight to the inside, while Bobby Jackson paused for a moment, then accelerated and rushed to the inside.

Don't think that Bobby Jackson is only 185 centimeters tall. He is also good at grabbing offensive rebounds, relying on his jumping height and extremely fast bounce speed.

The ball got into the basket steadily.

Another three-pointer!
Even Gasol, with his good temper, wants to throw the basketball away!
On the offensive end, I worked so hard to screen, make transitions, connect teams, and organize the offense. In the end, my teammates made a hard shot to score 2 points.

Before the celebration was over, as soon as I turned around, I was chased and slapped with a three-pointer!
How to hit this ball!
The Grizzlies' positional offense was more organized and they kept trying to close the score difference.

The Kings' substitutes' positional offense was a mess. Bobby Jackson singled out Turkoglu and Lu Yuanzhi and the other two substitutes ran wildly and sneaked to the basket to score.

If you keep playing like this, the Grizzlies with a higher success rate will naturally close the score.

But they couldn't stand it anymore. The fast break of the three of Lu Yuanzhi was too sharp. At first, they counterattacked after grabbing backboards or blocking shots. Later, even after the Grizzlies scored a goal, they would quickly throw the baseline ball, chasing after the buttocks.

Lu Yuanzhi and the others didn't want to miss any opportunity to run!
The second quarter ended quickly with a tug-of-war between players from both teams.

The final score was 45:63, and the Kings led by 18 points into the second half.

But no one expected that there would be hundreds of millions of small flaws in the three people's carefully prepared plan to grab points.

There are more than a hundred million people who come to disrupt the situation.

 Dear brothers, if you think the book is still enough for you, please keep reading. Don’t keep reading, or something will happen if you keep reading.
