The conqueror does whatever he wants

The shot that Barros named Sampson at the top of the arc really touched Louis' heart.

That’s it!

No matter how talented Sampson is, he is already 36 years old. As an athlete, his athletic ability has fallen to a low point, and it will only get lower and lower in the future.

In the future small ball era, guards with a certain level will have the technical ability to hold the ball in one hand and call the pick-and-roll to train the big man.

Barros's technical ability in all aspects is exactly like that of a defender in the small ball era. Not to mention that Sampson is now 66 years old. Even when he was 26, as long as his technical ability meets the requirements, a defender has an advantage in playing a big man.

Therefore, Louis wanted to continue to "motivate" Barros.

"By the way, DB is going to play like this. If you continue to play like this, let me see if you really get rid of your phobia of finals!"

Continue to fight like this?

Garnett took a bold guess, is he going to continue to name Sampson?

This seems to be inconsistent with the strategy of increasing rhythm and focusing on consumption that was arranged before the game, right?

No... If asking for Mr. Only's name can guarantee the success rate, wouldn't it cost more than simply mentioning the rhythm?

That is not only a drain on physical energy, but also a blow to the mental will.

Mr. Only is such a figure. It has been thirteen years since he defeated Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the 1984 Finals. He has suppressed two generations of centers. Even now, he is not someone who can be bullied by a mere kid like Barros.

The nature of a superstar is to be conceited and believe that he is not weaker than others.

Sure enough, after Sampson came to the frontcourt, he wanted the ball, feinted, took a probing step, dribbled to the right, stopped suddenly, and started directly.

Complete strike action, there is no sense of disobedience in his hands.

5 to 3

"DB, I'm optimistic about you."

As soon as Barros dribbled the ball past half-court, Louis' voice floated from the sidelines. His tone sounded soft, but it brought great pressure to people.

Barros went to the frontcourt and called the fifth pick-and-roll again.

Garnett didn't dare to hesitate and stepped forward decisively to set up a dead pick-and-roll.

A dead pick-and-roll is a stand-still pick-and-roll.

Barros took advantage of every opportunity and decisively went in the pick-and-roll direction. Sampson learned from his previous experience this time and no longer gave Barros any space to shoot.

Seeing this scene, Louis knew that something serious was going to happen to Sampson.

Barros's gesture of starting to shoot made Sampson's defense closer. This decision was the reason for his defensive failure.

Barros's shooting momentum was just for Sampson to see. The opponent was fooled and directly dribbled in.

Mr. Ren Weiwei is as nimble as he is. Due to the limitation of his height of 2.2 meters, his physical coordination cannot be compared with that of a defender.

Not to mention that his athletic ability is not as good as before. Barros throws him away and accelerates.

When he was young, Sampson could still use his explosive power and height and arm length to interfere. Now, he just subconsciously waves his hands to direct his teammates to cover up the defense - a good way to direct traffic!

Malone, who is getting older and more sophisticated, appeared on Burrows' breakthrough line in time, at the cost of letting Barkley go.

Barros doesn't feel that he must score. As long as the Lakers score in the end, it doesn't matter who gets it.

So, Barros made a ground pass and assisted Barkley for a dunk.

5 to 5

After staring at Sampson for two consecutive rounds, Daly could tell what was going on, no matter how slow his reaction was.

He was a little surprised. Ever since the roll call tactic came into being in the 1993 Finals, everyone has followed suit and assigned corresponding tactics to their team's ball-handling ace.

But the current roll call is still very simple.

They only know that the core of roll call is to attack the opponent's weaknesses, but they ignore another element of roll call - actively creating the dislocation that the attacker wants.

As long as it's misaligned, it won't make any difference even if the target is a superstar like Sampson.

However, even though the Lakers played two rounds, it does not mean that this strategy is effective.

The sample is too small, so we have to look at it further.

For the Celtics, Sampson dropped the ball to Malone.

Malone played Barkley in a low post without any pressure and easily succeeded.

I don’t know if Sampson did it on purpose or if he did it randomly.

The Lakers named Sampson, and the Celtics can also get it back on Barkley.

However, if the Celtics' specific approach is to let Malone play like this, Louis will have nothing to fear.

No matter how bad Barkley's defense is, as long as he is defending in the low post, he can at least use his body to push back, so that his whole body will not be full of flaws.

Unless Malone has a magical touch tonight, if he plays like this, it will be good if his hit rate can be maintained at 5.

"DB, don't let me down!"

When Barros dribbled the ball across half court, Louis' voice came again.

Wilson felt the pressure on Burrows.

Moreover, how could it be so fun to name Sampson so that Burrows could have it all to himself?

Benj made a prompt decision and went to the top of the arc and made a clever Wiseman-style fake block. Unfortunately, Hill did not have the awareness to use the fake block to flank Burrows.

The top Duke student stuck to the rules and got through the screen. Because Wilson's pick-and-roll was fake, neither the actual nor the effect of the pick-and-roll happened, so there was no need to switch defenses.

You have to admire the rigor of the academic school, which will make relatively correct judgments for any tactics and any situation.

Barros returned the ball and passed it to Wilson.

Wilson grabbed the ball with one hand, covered it behind his back, and then used the other hand to call the fifth pick-and-roll.

"What a cool move!" Big Ben said loudly, "Cooler than MJ!"

Kobe looked at him with disgust: "You should speak louder so he can hear you."

Benj showed great maturity and restraint: "I don't want to affect Benj's performance."

It's too late to tell, but it happens soon.

When Sampson switched defense in front of Wilson, he sensitively sensed the opponent's intentions.

Wilson started to break through, but when Sampson shifted his center of gravity and prepared to retreat, he suddenly braked and stopped. He stepped back and made an extremely clever step back. Benj retreated two steps beyond the three-point line and shot directly.

At this moment, the image of Stephen Curry licking Mamba during military training merged with what was happening in front of him in Louis' mind.

Time has eroded Sampson, and the huge difference in body structure made it difficult for him to defend against such attacks even when he was young.

A player of Wilson's level can fully feel his huge advantages in athletic ability, speed, and coordination. When he is one-on-one, these advantages will accelerate and amplify.

The Conqueror believed from the bottom of his heart that if the Celtics allowed him to name Sampson, then it would not be impossible to score 66 points in a single game in the Finals again.

This thought flashed past, and the spinning ball in the air hit the net accurately.

8 to 5

"You're old, Ralph." Wilson said, and added, "Don't use this excuse to comfort yourself. Even when you were young, you couldn't guard against me."

Sampson said calmly: "I agree, but I only need to defeat Patrick. Your opponent is Larry."

Although Sampson didn't say anything, he actually said everything.

What was the most embarrassing moment in Wilson's life?

Louie would say he was almost shot to death by a gangster in high school.

Most fans would say that he was defeated by Bird in 1988.

Wilson smiled and said nothing, it was not an embarrassing past for him.

After all, he was only in his second year at the time, and he finally regained some dignity. If he hadn't been defeated by Bird like that, he might not have reached the heights he is today.

Wilson ran back and said to Barros: "DB, I'll hit another ball next round."

At this time, Sampson lobbed the ball to Malone again.

Malone beat Barkley from behind. Although he was full of muscles, the fight was not violent at all.

There are many muscular men, but players like Malone whose style of play and body type are completely mismatched are rare.

Maybe Malone's size advantage is only reflected in pick-and-roll situations, right?

Barkley tried his best to defend this ball and successfully prevented Malone from missing the shot.

Afterwards, Liu Yuqing started a fast attack.

Garnett grabbed the defensive rebound and sent a long pass.

Liu Yuqing got the ball, and with Hill close to him, he didn't feel that he had the ability to complete a fast break right under the opponent's nose.

However, how can fast break be a one-person affair?

Liu Yuqing was two steps inside the free throw line next to Hill and threw the ball toward the backboard.

The ball hit the backboard and bounced outwards. After Liu Yuqing and Hill, Wilson strode forward, jumped up, caught the pass in the air and completed a dunk.

"OMG! The Conquistadors do whatever they want on the court!!!"

Just as Hearn finished speaking, it was Wilson again! He stole the Celtics' serve in the frontcourt, got up again under the basket, and dunked another ball.
Chapter completed!
