In the TNT live broadcast, Barkley analyzed: "Old K is still quite calm and did not force a shot when being double-teamed."
Bill Walton said: "Campbell and the postman are both powerful. Old K lost the most advantageous side to break double teams and turn around. The double teams of these two people can cause considerable confusion for him.
So it’s not easy to take advantage of the opponent in a double-team.”
Barkley smiled and said: "But I believe that Old K is capable of taking action in a double-team, but the efficiency will be reduced. He will not do it easily. He is a guy who pursues efficiency."
At this time, the Jazz advanced to the frontcourt, Campbell moved to the left wing, and the Postman moved to the high position again for a pick-and-roll.
Stockton used the wall to break through, and Wang Tiejun in the left midfielder again chose to defend.
But this time when he returned to defense, he did it more carefully. He did not go directly to the basket, but prepared to block Stockton's layup from the wing.
In this way, his position is higher and he can cut off the passing and receiving lines of Stockton and Campbell, who was left open by him.
If Stockton chooses to drop the ball, both he and Horry will have more time to defend Campbell.
Stockton did not choose to give it to Campbell, and he did not dare to lay up in front of Old K. Instead, he pulled to the right, made a second pick-and-roll with Hornacek on the right, and during the pick-and-roll, he passed the ball
Gave it to the other party.
One step away from the right midfielder, Hornacek caught the ball, made a fake shot, shook Kidd who was rushing towards him, and then took off a second time.
But at this moment, a huge figure rushed toward him with the sound of wind.
"Crack!"
After jumping, Wang Tiejun directly grabbed Hornacek's jumper with one hand.
"Capture the hat! Lao K captures the cap with the death ray gun!" The on-site commentator's passionate roar suddenly sounded.
"oh!"
Senacek's wife on the sidelines sighed and looked away, unable to bear witnessing that her husband had been caught.
"The bad guy An Kou..."
Seeing that her dear dad was being bullied, three-year-old Abby shouted unhappily.
The Suns did not play a fast break and entered into a positional battle.
Lao Wang got the ball in the low post on the left wing. Campbell defended him with all his strength and interfered with his passing. Then the postman quickly implemented weak-side defense.
He could force a shot, but the hit rate would definitely not be very high, so he chose to distribute the ball, holding Campbell with his left elbow, moving his right foot up and sideways, and throwing a fierce right hand to Lashi who was one step away from the right corner.
DeWallace.
Hornacek on the right wing lost the lightning and covered the ball at full speed. Unfortunately, Wang passed the ball very quickly, almost in a straight line. His cover was still a beat slow. By the time he arrived, the troll had already made a jump shot.
"Bang!"
The open ball missed, the ball bounced, was picked up by Hornacek, and the Jazz attacked.
"It's an open ball, the opportunity is completely there, but it's a pity that I'm not lucky." Su Qun sighed.
"3:4, don't worry, be more stable at home, the tactics are absolutely fine, it's just a matter of feeling that you can't hit the shot." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Turn around and the Jazz will hit the pick-and-roll again.
First, Russell on the left wing ran to the top of the arc to create a wall. Stockton took the opportunity to break into the paint area, attracting Wang Tiejun to return to defense.
Almost at the same time, the Postman pulled up from the low post and started a pick-and-roll with Hornacek, and then the former cut outside and the latter cut inside.
When the two fended off, Stockton happened to rush into the paint area with the ball and encountered Wang Tiejun's interception. However, Wang Tiejun, like before, adopted flank defense and cut off the passing line between him and Campbell on the left, so he passed the ball
Immediately gave the postman one step from the outside to the right wing three-point line.
The postman caught the ball, and before Rasheed Wallace, who was blocked, could reach him, he immediately jumped up and shot from far away.
"brush!"
The water splashed and the two-pointer hit.
Lao Wang, who was about to grab a rebound under the basket, immediately turned around and ran away.
"The Jazz are very patient and their tactics are very clear. They are running and picking and rolling to find openings and mismatches. The Suns have to switch defenses faster, otherwise it will be difficult to control the postman." Barkley reminded.
"Yeah, his open looks are super accurate," Bill Walton said.
Barkley added: "In these rounds, the Jazz have shown a problem. Perhaps considering the defense of Old K in the penalty area, Postman and Campbell are always pulled out and do not attack in the low post. How can the Jazz beat the Suns? That's weird."
Bill Walton nodded and said: "Don't tell me that I haven't noticed that without a more efficient low-post offense, it would be really difficult for the Jazz to beat the Suns. Of course, if the Suns' defense is not strong, it is possible."
The Suns attacked, and Lao Wang was double-teamed by the postman again. This time he decided to hit one himself.
The postman came from below to help defend. After receiving the ball, he turned around on his left foot, carried Campbell, put his foot on his left waist, hit the board at a 45-degree position, and hit a goal.
"5:6, both sides are very efficient." Su Qun said.
"The Suns are not quick enough to switch defenses, and their ability to defend pick-and-rolls is still not good enough. In addition, the right wing must shoot open, especially Rasheed Wallace. If there is an opening, you must shoot in, otherwise the Postman will help defend against the Iron Army's weak side. It will be unscrupulous." Zhang Lili said.
"Yes, if you can't make a shot from the right wing and you're always being double-teamed, it's very difficult for K to get to the basket and your efficiency won't improve." Su Qun nodded.
"Bang!"
This time Rasheed Wallace changed defense quickly and arrived when the postman took action, affecting his shot and failing to hit.
Wang Tiejun got the backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.
Seeing the team slowly advancing in the backcourt, Old K almost walking to the frontcourt, the team's offense was like an old carriage, D'Antoni wanted to yell: "Old K, run, otherwise Just sit on the bench for me."
"well!"
When he thought about getting out after the playoffs, he couldn't help but sigh, "The future is not bright! When will my ideal be realized?"
In the Suns' frontcourt, the ball was passed to the low left wing, and almost before that, the postman started to help defend on the weak side.
"Whoosh!"
Lao Wang knew that if he wanted to break the postman's weak-side help defense, he had to let the sprayer throw it, and the ball flew towards the right bottom corner again.
"brush!"
This time, Rasheed Wallace lived up to Pharaoh and hit a two-pointer from far away.
5:8, the Suns take the lead and the Jazz attack.
Next, the Jazz missed a shot again. When the Suns attacked, they still hit Lao Wang, attracting double-team defense and creating opportunities for other positions.
This time Rasheed Wallace once again received a pass from Pharaoh, but Hornacek's defense was very fast. He had no chance and passed it to the Lightning. The Lightning encountered Stockton's defense again and failed to force the shot. middle.
"Bang!"
When the ball hit the basket, Lao Wang emerged from behind Campbell. He jumped higher and faster. With one hand, he pushed the ball into the basket and knocked Campbell over under the basket.
"yeah!"
The whole audience burst into cheers.
"Damn it!"
Jerry Sloan was very annoyed. When he lost the backcourt rebound, he was also dunked directly by Old K. Not to mention, his own center was also dunked, which severely damaged his morale. He needed to call a timeout to stabilize himself. Say it again.
“Nice patchwork!”
In the TNT live broadcast booth, Barkley praised and said: "The reason why Old K has such a high degree of dominance under the basket is because I polished it for him back then. He is my apprentice.
I taught him step by step how to get in position, how to train the steps under the basket, how to make fake moves, how to grab rebounds, and how to defend. Without me, it would have taken at least two years for him to reach his peak."
"Charles, do you agree with what you say?" Bill Walton asked with a smile.
"Of course he will agree, I have paid a lot for his growth." Barkley shouted.
"And you were sold to Mosaic?" Bass Felton said suddenly.
"..." Buckley was stunned.
"Pfft!" Bill Walton laughed.
"Damn it, Buss, that's the team's choice. In fact, it's not wrong. I won a championship in Mosaic, and Old K also led the team to win the championship in 1995. It's a win-win for us." Barkley laughed and scolded.
At 5:10, the Suns led by 5 points, and the Jazz called a timeout after serving.
Jerry Sloan waited for the players to return to the bench, stood in the middle and shouted: "Gentlemen, you did a good job, but we have to focus our attention more. For example, when you are under the basket and there is a giant behind you,
When you are a beast..."
He stared at Campbell and said: "Be sure to block the position first, don't let Old K get a chance, and then your teammates will grab the rebound."
Campbell gasped and nodded. The confrontation with Old K consumed a lot of his physical energy. After only a few rounds, he was already sweating profusely and out of breath.
Jerry Sloan warned a few more issues to pay attention to, and then said: "Everything else is good, but from now on, we have to strengthen the low-post offense.
Elden Campbell, Karl, the team needs your low post offense now, don’t be afraid of Old K’s defense, get closer to the basket and play our offense in the low post, okay?”
"OK." The two nodded.
"Be prepared on the outside. After passing the ball inside, you must hit the open shot." Jerry Sloan warned again.
At this time the timeout ends and the game restarts.
Campbell didn't pull too far, he was on the low left sideline, and Lao Wang was inside, preventing him from entering the paint area.
The ball was passed down, and the Suns did not double-team. He took the ball and raised his hands high, looking for opportunities to attack or pass.
Just when Campbell was catching the ball, the postman in the low position on the right suddenly turned around, swung his left waist, and gave Rasheed Wallace an elbow. Taking advantage of his opponent's body to stiffen, he quickly got rid of the defender and headed towards
Cutting under the basket.
Campbell threw the ball with both hands, and the postman caught the ball and jumped slightly, sending the ball into the basket.
"7:10, the Jazz played a good offense this time and cooperated well in the low post." Zhang Lili said.
"The Jazz should strengthen their low-post attack. This is their first low-post attack," Su Qun said.
Zhang Lili analyzed: "Jerry Sloan is an old coach. He definitely knows the importance of low-post offense and how efficient the Iron Army's low-post offense is. If the Jazz don't have a low-post offense, he knows what the result will be, so he won't ignore it."
.”
Next, Lao Wang was bumped by Campbell when he was holding the ball. The ball jumped in his hand because he couldn't hold it firmly. Campbell's tonnage and strength showed its effect at this moment.
The pair of postmen created a double-team opportunity. The postman quickly jumped into position and formed a double-team on him. Then Russell on the left wing also rushed down. The three of them joined forces to surround him, with six arms and six big hands.
he.
He can't lean sideways, and he's not under the basket. He can forcefully get up and dunk under the basket, but far away from the basket, he can't break through this kind of double-team.
"Here." Horry shouted outside.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang passed the ball to Horry through the gap, but the ball was intercepted by Russell.
"Good job, just play like this." Jerry Sloan shouted excitedly on the sidelines.
"Old K, be careful. Campbell and Postman join forces and the defense is very strong." Bass Felton said in the TNT live broadcast booth.
Barkley analyzed: "Both of them have great tonnage. As long as Old K cannot get rid of Campbell at the first time, or cannot transfer the ball immediately, he will immediately fall into the double-team of the two. Jazz's package for Old K
The clip is very decisive.
It was Campbell's defense just now that prevented Old K from holding the ball firmly in the first place and unable to take action or pass the ball immediately, which created an opportunity for the postman."
Bill Walton said: "With Old K's passing ability, the price to pay for double-teaming him is actually very high, but if he is not double-teamed, Old K will play extremely efficiently in the low post, and the opponent simply cannot bear it.
With this kind of efficiency, we can only choose double-teaming. It can be said that Lao K was double-teamed because he was actually forced to do so."
"Yes, Old K forces his opponent to double-team him. This is the standard configuration of a super giant. If he does not have the strength to force his opponent to double-team him, he is not worthy of being called a super giant, haha!" Barkley laughed.
As the game continued, the Jazz continued to double-team Wang Tiejun in the low post, mainly to help defend on the weak side. If his position was raised, Russell would double-team. While double-teaming the low post, they also strengthened the defense on the outside.
So as not to give your opponent a big gap.
Under the operation of the Jazz's already very mature defensive system, it has produced very good defensive effects.
On the offensive end, the Jazz's offensive system is more mature than in previous seasons. The players are very skilled in cooperating with pick-and-roll tactics. The Suns suffered a lot in defending the pick-and-roll.
After the third quarter of the game, the score between the two sides was still very tight, 74:78, with the Suns only leading by 4 points.
Wang Tiejun played 33 minutes in the first three quarters and only rested for 3 minutes. Campbell's desperate defense and Postman's full defense indeed caused great obstacles to his offense, preventing him from easily scoring the basket. So far,
Made 8 of 15 shots, shooting 53.3%.
This shooting rate is significantly lower than the first and second rounds, and even lower than the regular season by nearly ten percentage points. This shows how strong the low post defense of Campbell and Postman is.
Among all the shots, there were only 5 attacks at the basket, accounting for 33.3%. It was too few, with 4 shots, with a success rate of 80%. The rest of the shots were nearly two points, and 4 goals were hit in 10 shots, a 40% hit rate.
, which is more than ten percentage points lower than the regular season.
In addition to 4 of 6 free throws, he scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, 4 turnovers and 3 fouls in the three quarters.
Su Qun said: "Old K's scoring and rebounding were not as good as those in the first and second rounds, and his turnovers increased a lot. Campbell and Postman's defense was really good."
Zhang Lili analyzed: "Campbell did a good job in defense. Most of his physical energy was spent on defense and he rarely attacked.
He has tonnage, strength, height, and decent defensive skills and defensive awareness. As long as he holds off the Tiejun for the first time, the postman or other defenders can come and double-team him."
Su Qun was a little unconvinced and said: "But Lao K's efficiency in double-teaming is not bad, it is still above the standard."
Zhang Liji nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it's possible. I was able to play 2010 in three quarters with double teams, and I also had 5 assists and 3 blocks. This performance is at the level of a superstar no matter how you say it."
But from these three quarters, we can see the maturity of the Jazz. They were not so strong last year. At that time, even the courier and double-teamers could not restrain the Iron Army, but now they have managed to restrain the Iron Army.
The strength of the Jazz is not only the reinforcement of the fifth position, nor the thickness of the bench, but more importantly, the establishment and maturity of the offensive and defensive system.
You see how well their defensive transitions are done. Even though the postman keeps coming to help defend, most of the vacancies he left have been filled.
From what I see, their defense is actually almost like a zone defense, just a side kick, except for double-teaming people without the ball in advance."
Su Qun asked with some worry: "Director Zhang, the Jazz are so strong now, what do you think of the Suns tonight?"
Zhang Lili shook his head and said: "Don't worry, the Jazz played so well and the Suns can still take the lead. This is the confidence.
After entering the final quarter, the Jazz will have a very big weakness exposed, and this weakness will determine the outcome of the game, Xiaosu, can you see it?"
"What's the weakness?" Su Qun asked confused.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Physical fitness."
"Physical ability?" Su Qun was surprised.
"Yes, it's just physical fitness."
Nodding, Zhang Li said with a smile: "I am mainly talking about Campbell. He and Tiejun just played for three quarters. Tiejun played for 33 minutes and he also played for 31 minutes. He couldn't run just now. How could he fight with Tiejun again in the last quarter?"
?Everyone in the world knows how good Tie Jun’s physical fitness is."
"yes!"
Su Qun said excitedly, as if he had been given a shot of blood: "If Campbell can't hold off Old K, the postman won't be able to reach the double-team position in time, and Old K can directly attack the basket."
Zhang Li said with a smile: "The Jazz should make substitutions. They also have a backup center. Ostertag, who just played against the Tiejun, has a greater tonnage than Campbell. He weighs the same as the postman at 130 kilograms. He was 28 in the first round of 1995.
The No. 1 pick was trained by the Jazz as a human shield, but he can't compare with Campbell.
He is white, and his shoes are 218 centimeters tall, which is similar to Tiejun, but his mobility is not as good as Campbell's. His game experience and defensive experience are far inferior to Campbell's. With the potential and strength he has shown so far, Campbell is still a second-rate center, or even a second-rate center.
Almost first-rate, but he is not even third-rate."
At the beginning of the final quarter, just as Zhang reasonably expected, Jerry Sloan asked Campbell to rest for a few minutes and let Ostertag, the human shield, take the lead first.
After playing only three minutes, Jerry Sloan had to send Campbell on the field because Ostertag couldn't hold him down at all.
The result of his inability to hold off Old K was not only the inability to create double-team opportunities for the postman, but also a more serious chain reaction.
After Lao Wang got the ball, he quickly got rid of the defender and entered the paint area. The postman's defense was always slow. Within three minutes, he completed three dunks, including knocking over the postman once. Not only did he widen the point difference,
It also boosted our own morale and dealt a serious blow to the Jazz's morale.
After Campbell came on the court, the situation improved slightly, but the rest time was too short and his physical recovery was not enough. He only lasted two minutes before he died. Lao Wang could knock him over with a back arch, and then get into the basket to play the postman in singles.
One dozen and one is accurate.
Then Wang Tiejun took control of the situation, taking advantage of his strong physical strength to frequently play high-quality low-post attacks and score at the basket a lot.
Although the postman tried his best to help defend, Campbell couldn't hold off Old K. His defense time was not enough, and he was always a step slower. The quality of his help defense was not as good as in the first three quarters, and he was unable to stop Old K from attacking the basket.
In the end, Wang Tiejun led his team to defeat the Jazz, 92:104, and the Suns won by 12 points.
