Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

"The genius of the basketball fanatic is on the left (

"Let's see, the Bulls did not start Tyrus Thomas or Aaron Gray again this year, center Noah, and the power forward simply played Joe Smith, who is 208 cm tall. He usually appeared as a substitute for Noah. In the regular season, 82 There has never been a situation where the two of them appeared at the same time, what are the Bulls trying to do? Play fast?"

Looking at the Bulls' starting list, Yang Yi on the sidelines made his own guess.

But this guess is unreliable at first glance. It is not short to be able to play fast. The Bulls have never played the basic tactics of fast, and rushing to speed up is playing with fire and setting themselves on fire. There is no need for the Knicks to shoot, and they will kill themselves.

Moreover, this Joe Smith and the Eagle King of Eagles are not the same type. He is a power forward of 2800. As the addition to the 76ers' trade of Iverson, Joe Smith has been in many teams, with a stable style of play, and both offensive and defensive skills. But, it can be used by any team, the plug-and-play kind, otherwise, the career will not be traded so many times.

So everyone knows that the number of transactions is not the proof of the weak, on the contrary, only the valuable people deserve to be traded.

This dude has played 1,000 games in his career.

But his high-profile era is in the last century, and now he averages only 4.6 points per game, and because of his old age, many injuries, and not much playing time, he is often regarded as the third choice for the inside line in the Bulls. After playing for a little more than 8 minutes, there is no sense of existence.

But it's hard not to let people speculate that such a player has become a starting power forward tonight.

What is this bull trying to do?

"Defending left standing, at first glance, it is used to prevent left standing." Barkley said sharply: "Joe Smith's movement is OK, his wingspan is sufficient, his height is not bad, and his foul is worthless, and he will be sent off if it is a big deal. Hey, use him to hold Zuo Li, and you will earn as long as you can."

These remarks proved Barkley's good basketball literacy. It turned out that the Bulls really let Joe Smith go to mark Zuo Li.

Also, the first ball was fouled.

It wasn't an intentional foul. He stood on the edge of the penalty area to catch the ball, swayed his shoulders from side to side with his back, and then made a false move followed by a right turn, shaking it directly to Joe Smith, so he couldn't keep up with his footsteps and could only pull to stop the left. Stand up to attack.

This ball is a tactical foul, which is acceptable. At least Noah needs to thank him for a wave. Generally, after this kind of ball is completely shaken, Zuo Li will fly up and dunk. No matter who is in front of him, Howard will be dunked and turned over. , belongs to Zuoli's classic ultimate move.

But if this ball doesn't see anything, the next few offenses can see Joe Smith's mission.

Once Zuoli turned around and shot, the fierce thugs failed to score, and Zuoli, who stood on the free throw line, made 1 of 2 free throws.

Then the Bulls Ben Gordon and Rose failed to connect, and the pass made a mistake. Dragic grabbed the ball and passed it to Zuo Li. Joe Smith didn't keep up. Luol Deng immediately reached out and pulled Zuo Li, another foul.

Now the whole world knows that in this game, the Bulls are ready to use fouls to block Zuoli's attack.

It's not slashing the shark, but it's better than slashing the shark. In essence, they use fouls to block the Knicks' momentum, prevent sports from scoring, tear the game apart, and survive the bulls.

Yes, the Bulls in Game 2 finally made their move.

And it's very ruthless!

In the first quarter, he fouled Zuo Li 7 times, and Zuo Li stood on the free throw line 5 times, making a total of 10 penalties, almost catching up with the number of times in the previous game.

The effect is also good, scoring 7 points, but only 4 points in the sports battle, and 11 points in a single quarter.

In the third game of the 2000 NBA Finals, in order to limit O'Neal's score, the Pacers had to adopt the "shark slashing" tactics. O'Neal made a total of 39 free throws, a record high in NBA history, but he only made 18 free throws.

At that time, someone said that to break O'Neal's record, you must first have the dominance of O'Neal, and then you need to have poor free throw ability.

Otherwise, you will encounter a fool opponent, or a fool referee.

After all, 40 free throws in a single game is really outrageous.

However, tonight, this fight seems to have seen hope. In the first quarter, Zuoli was fined 10 times. If it is still the same number in each subsequent quarter, it will be exceeded!

The commentators also joked that this game will not break this incredible record again.

Then in the second quarter, people found out that tonight's bull was Zhang Fei's weight, and he was determined!

As soon as the second quarter came up, Zuo Li scored three of the first four free throws, and he still implemented this tactic, that is, he did not allow Zuo Li to score goals in a sports battle.

And Zuo Li also understood, so Zuo Li strengthened his breakthrough, and he couldn't vote anymore.

So the 'beep beep' sounded continuously, a 12-minute quarter, and a total of 27 minutes to end the half.

In this quarter, the Bulls made an astonishing 9 fouls by Zuoli, and Zuoli was sent to the free throw line 7 times, including 1 2+1, 13 free throws hit 8 goals, and scored 13 points in a single quarter.

Personal half-time 23 free throws, there is no controversy, this can be regarded as the beginning of the playoffs.

But the effect was not bad, the two sides played 40-36 at halftime, and the Bulls were only 4 points behind.

Seeing the difference, Zuo Li understood. Back in the locker room, Zuo Li and D'Antoni whispered for a while and formulated the tactics for the second half.

Zuo Li: "They will definitely continue to foul in the second half. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

D'Antoni agreed: "I think so too. We were a little bit stuck in the first half, and they're not going to miss this opportunity."

"This is also our chance, I'll have the ball!"

"Okay! I'll upload it when I have a chance, and I'll pass it on if I can't open it!"

So at the beginning of the second half, Zuo Li received the ball directly after half-time, and then went straight to the inside line to kill, so soon, Joe Smith committed 5, Noah 4, Thomas 3, Luol Deng 2, Ben Gordon 2 Commit, Ross has committed 3 crimes!

"Zuo Li is killing the Bulls. If this goes on, who will the Bulls use to defend Zuo Li?" Yu Jia said.

"No, and Zuo Li's free throws were bad tonight. He made 10 free throws and scored 7 in the first quarter, which is exactly 70% of the hit rate, which is the same as the regular season. The second quarter was slightly worse, but there were also 8. With this kind of hit rate, you still let him take a penalty, isn't that giving him points." Director Zhang expressed his incomprehension.

The Bulls are also suffering. The tactics have been hit so far, and they can't stop, and the referee is already staring at them, and they will be whistled for a slight movement. This is the sequelae of continuous fouls.

So far, the Bulls have put their own routine in...

At the end of the third quarter, Zuo Li had already made 35 penalties, only 4 gaps away from O'Neal's record, while Zuo Li hit 22 penalties and scored 34 points in the third quarter!

At this time, the bull finally dared not foul, but Zuo Li refused!

In the fourth quarter, he disproportionately hit Rose and made Rose foul twice. Rose had no other way to prevent him from fouling.

So with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Derrick Rose ushered in his first career fouled out.

And after he came off, Zuo Li also officially ushered in the 40th personal free throw in this game...
