Because of his status in the team, Sam Perkins has been practicing hard on mid-range and long-range shots over the years. He has a very good basket and his strong body. As long as he has enough possession of the ball, he can shoot inside the three-point line.

Take action from any position!

The singles system allows Sam Perkins to take action immediately without having to catch the ball. After getting the ball, he can adjust for a second or two before deciding how to attack. Worthy was so confused by him that the defense did not know how to defend.

Worthy was restricted by Perkins on both offense and defense, and the Sonics once again took a 4-point lead in just a few rounds!

Worthy couldn't open up the situation, so the Lakers had no choice but to hand the ball over to Byron Scott.

The SuperSonics had already thought in advance that the game would turn into this situation, so they replaced McMillan in advance.

McMillan was not very good as a player, but he still stayed in the league for 12 seasons before being eliminated. He relied on his outside defense.

Byron Scott is not fast, after all, he is just a pitcher, and McMillan is best at defensive pitching.

Byron Scott faced McMillan's sugar-candy defense, and he could only take shots hastily every time, and his hit rate was astonishing.

Only five minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers hurriedly replaced all starters, and the SuperSonics followed suit and replaced most of the starters.

After the substitutions, the SuperSonics lineup became: Lu Feng, Ron Harper, McMillan, Sam Perkins, and Sean Kemp.

McMillan is still on the court. The Lakers' third position is AC Green. The opponent's strength is average and there is no basket. It is just a good opportunity to test the effect of McMillan's transition to the third position.

Sam Perkins continues to play the 4th position and continues to fight with his big brother Worthy.

Kemp was promoted to the fifth position. Although he could not hold Divac alone, the Sonics did not need Kemp to restrict the opponent. He only needed to restrict Divac's shooting.

Kemp has excellent athletic ability. If Divac shoots in front of him, at least he will be disturbed. If not, he may be directly blocked by Kemp.

If Divac wants to use his strength to get into the paint...

No, he can't get in, because the Sonics' way to deal with the Lakers is to shrink inside. Unless Kareem Abdul-Jabbar comes back, the problem of the Lakers being unable to fight positional battles will always exist!

"The Sonics have a five-forward lineup. God, everyone who has watched the University of Washington game knows how terrifying this lineup's defense will be. The Lakers are going to be in big trouble!"

"Maji needs to step up. What the Lakers need now is not his passing, but his shooting. What Maji needs to do most now is score!"

"But the person who defended Maji was Ron Harper. When he was with the Mavericks, he was one of the best perimeter defenders. After coming to the SuperSonics, although he had fewer scoring opportunities than before, his

The defense is still as strong, it’s not easy for Ma Ji to score!”

…

The current lineup of the SuperSonics is Lu Feng's simulation of the lineup of the Bulls in 1996. Let's not talk about offense, but on defense, Lu Feng can be sure that not many people will think about it after playing against this lineup.

Not with gritted teeth.

The defensive strategy of this lineup is also very simple - press the whole court!

That's right, this one move, relying on defensive pressure and forcing the opponent to make mistakes, is the strongest point of this lineup!

When the Lakers kicked off, Moji was in charge of holding the ball, and Ron Harper was directly in front of him.

The full-court press is not about constant confrontation. What is important is that when the enemy advances, we advance, and when the enemy retreats, we retreat.

Once Moji wants to speed up, Ron Harper will directly confront him and slow him down.

If Moji wants to slowly dribble across half court face to face, Harper will take a step away from Moji, and then keep reaching out to interfere with Moji's dribbling. Once the steal fails, Harper will immediately retreat to prevent himself from losing his position.

.

After several attempts, Moji still failed to break through Harper's defense. He looked at his teammates and saw that the others were in a similar situation to him. At this time, it was easy to make mistakes in passing the ball.

Seeing that there was no chance to pass the ball, Ma Ji knew that the Lakers had to dribble the ball by himself now. He glanced at Harper with a bright smile, turned his back directly, and raised his butt...

Mochi: You defended well, but if I show my invincible butt, what are you going to do?

Harper: You, you, you...you were fooled!

Snapped!

After Mojizhu arched a few times, he suddenly discovered that the ball in his hand was missing.

When he looked back, Lu Feng had already completed a circle on the basket.

Moji: You young man, come here to cheat, come here to smoke...

Under the SuperSonics' full-court press, the Lakers made mistakes one after another. The SuperSonics often relied on the Lakers' mistakes to counterattack. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers shocked everyone and trailed the SuperSonics by 14 points at home!

After the third quarter, Lu Feng looked at the Lakers bench with strange eyes.

This Lakers team without Sam Perkins is a bit weak...

It seems that only those fish belly teams are stronger.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the SuperSonics once again used a full-court press to deal with the Lakers at the beginning. Although they were called for several fouls, the point difference between the two teams became wider and wider.

When all members of the Lakers were mentally disturbed, the SuperSonics finally resorted to the death five of Dana Burrows, Lu Feng, Harper, Perkins, and Kemp, relying on a wave of fast breaks that the Lakers could not react to.

The score difference immediately widened to 18 points.

In the end, the SuperSonics used normal rotation, and the Lakers recovered some of the points difference by relying on their explosive penalty power.

At the end of the game between the two teams, the score was 112:104. The SuperSonics defeated the Lakers by 8 points in an away game!

Looking at the result, Lu Feng suddenly discovered that this season, the Sonics' biggest opponent in the Western Conference does not seem to be the Lakers...
Chapter completed!
