Chapter 515 Old K is trying to physically destroy his opponent
Jazz offense.
Sabonis lands directly on top.
He has three-pointers, but they are not very accurate, because his three-point range is an international three-pointer, which is one meter farther in the NBA, so the accuracy has dropped. After coming to the NBA, he generally does not shoot much, only two-pointers from far away, and high-post shots are very difficult.
good.
Based on four regular season games with the Lakers, his high-post style of play was very effective. Except for Old K guarding him, the Lakers had no one else who could guard him, and his height was seriously lacking.
In the four regular season games, when he was in the high post, Old K never caught up with him. It was Te Yin Longhill and Danny Fordson who guarded him.
"What?"
However, just when he was in the high post, he saw old K running in front of him and guarding one step below the free throw line. He was only less than three meters away from the basket below, so he could return to defense in time.
Basket.
The Lakers' tactics or Old K's defensive reaction were once again beyond the Jazz's expectations.
The postman was in the low post on the right wing and was about to ask for the ball. He was startled when he saw Danny Fortson getting underneath him and Old K going to guard Sabonis.
However, the Jazz also had various tactical arrangements. Neither of them panicked and started attacking according to the tactics.
Stockton passed to Postman, who immediately began to single to Fordson.
The Jazz's interior offense has a basic standard, which is to avoid Old K. As long as you avoid Old K's height and defense, with the strength of Sabonis and Postman, you can fight whatever you want.
"Bang bang!"
The 130-kg postman dribbled the ball twice and arched his back twice.
Fordson's tonnage is 120 kilograms, but he is shorter than the Postman, has a higher muscle ratio, and his basic strength quality is also very good. In addition, the Postman's back hitting skills can only be said to be average, and the force is not strong enough.
He could barely bear it.
But the postman turned around and waved his elbow to gain space for his shot, and he did not avoid it.
The postman relied on his back arch to gain some room to turn around, and immediately turned around. At the moment of taking off, he raised the ball with both hands and raised his right elbow upwards.
"Peng!"
Just as Fordson rushed forward to block the shot, his forehead hit the tip of his elbow.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the postman took a mid-range shot. He was lucky. Although he was hit on the elbow, he adjusted the angle and the ball hit the basket.
The referee did not blow the whistle, but pointed to the Lakers' frontcourt, signaling the exchange of ball rights and the Lakers' attack.
Fordson gritted his teeth and rubbed his forehead, glared at the postman fiercely, and then ran towards the front court.
After one season, under Lao Wang's training, his temper has changed a bit and he is no longer so impulsive, but sometimes he still can't control it and commits some meaningless fouls, which affects his playing time and performance.
If he is calmer, he can completely replace Hill as the starting power forward in the regular season.
Lao Wang came to the low post on the left wing, Sabonis stood behind him again, and he asked for the ball again.
Sabonis took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally.
He knew that Old K would not let him go today, and probably wanted to hurt him, so he did not defend himself this time, but took a half step back, keeping his left foot forward and the right foot behind, keeping a distance between the two.
A certain amount of space, and then put your right hand on Lao K's waist as a buffer.
With this kind of top defense, you will not be hit, because there is a restriction by K's law, you cannot use sideways to hit, and if you arch your back, there is a sufficient distance between the two people, and it is easy to evacuate, so there is no need to arch your back.
superior.
That time just now, he didn't leave enough distance and had no time to evacuate, so he was knocked over. Based on his experience, he immediately found a way to deal with it.
Moreover, with this defensive position, if Old K turns around and breaks through with the ball, he can retreat in time.
Even if Old K turns around and shoots a jump shot, he can go up and block the shot in time.
If there is any weakness in this defensive position, it is that there is no confrontation. The attacker can play whatever he wants. The defense has no initiative and is passive. Moreover, it cannot defend turnaround and fadeaway jumpers. But he has never heard that Old K has that
technology.
But the next moment, Old K's attack made him miscalculate again.
"squeak!"
Wang Tiejun caught the ball in his hand, started swinging, and suddenly turned around and jumped.
Sabonis immediately retreated half a step.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang dribbled the ball once, turned down and landed with his left foot, and stepped forward with his right foot. The moment he approached Sabonis, his left foot suddenly took a step back, drawing an arc on the floor, and he kicked back while turning.
Inserting between Sabonis' feet, his body has turned from facing the basket to carrying the basket, and at the same time his back is close to Sabonis' chest.
"not good!"
Sabonis feels creepy, old K still wants to hit him from behind?
"careful!"
On the sidelines, Jerry Sloan's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he shouted loudly.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Lao Wang dribbled the ball again, stepped down with his feet, and the six forces merged into one, and the planned iron mountain hit instantly broke out.
"Peng!"
"Well!"
As the sound of a very heavy body collision was heard, Sabonis grunted and leaned back violently, losing his center of gravity.
The postman did not return to defend the basket this time. He directly helped defend the strong side. When Sabonis was knocked over again, he had already reached the upper side of old K. At this time, he waved his big hand and cut hard on the old K.
On the K's ball.
"Crack!"
After finishing the game, Lao Wang was dribbling and the ball was cut. He instinctively grabbed it and the ball flew out of the baseline after hitting his hand.
The base referee immediately pointed toward the Jazz's frontcourt, signaling the exchange of ball rights.
"Although Old K failed to complete the attack and made a mistake in the end, he made a very fierce back hit!" an on-site commentator said excitedly.
"Yes, Old K is controlling Sabonis with flexible steps. Sabonis obviously doesn't want to push hard anymore, but Old K is not going to let him go. He may not be able to get up now." Another on-site commentator was equally excited.
typical.
"Pa bang bang..."
Although the offense could not be completed, Lakers fans still gave warm applause.
"What the hell!"
With no chance to complete the offense and even losing the ball, Wang glanced at the postman coldly and ran towards the backcourt amid warm applause from Lakers fans.
He ran away, but the Jazz's paint area was full of feathers, because Sabonis received two strong hits and fell twice in a row. The confrontation was too intense, and his old body was overwhelmed, and he still couldn't get up.
"I was hit twice and fell twice in a row. Maybe I was injured?" Su Qun stared at Sabonis on the screen without blinking.
Zhang Lili said: "Sabonis had too many injuries, especially his knee injuries. His training as a teenager was not standard, and he suffered knee injuries at that time.
In fact, it is the same in our country. The previous training methods were wrong and injuries were very serious. However, in recent years, we have obtained some strength training methods from the Tiejun. Under the auspices of the Sports Commission, they have been promoted in various domestic projects, and the training effect has improved a lot.
, the injuries are not as severe as before.”
"This is also Lao K's contribution to domestic sports." Su Qun said with a smile.
Behind the Lakers bench, Barkley said with a smile: "Old K is staring at Sabonis today. They don't want to confront him, so he forces them. It's so rude, haha!"
Lightning exclaimed in amazement: "It's only been a year, but I didn't expect that Old K's pace would be so strong now. He turned around, took advantage of the opponent's retreat, and then turned around again to complete the back attack. This kid is getting stronger and stronger."
The Jazz made a substitution this time. Sabonis slowly walked off the court and replaced the current substitute small forward, last season's main small forward Brian Russell, and then let Rodman play the fourth position.
The postman called number five.
"How about it?"
Jerry Sloan, who was not attending the game, asked after the team doctor examined Sabonis.
"The muscles in the lower back are a little tight and need to be relaxed. After a massage, you should be able to continue playing," the team doctor said.
"Avydas?" Jerry Sloan looked at Sabonis.
Sabonis nodded, indicating he could play.
"Then hurry up."
Sloan waved his hand and signaled the team doctor to massage Sabonis right away on the courtside floor and not to go back to the locker room.
At this time, the Jazz completed an attack on the court. Russell, who had just come on the field, suddenly ran to the top of the key, started a pick-and-roll tactic with Stockton, and then hit Mark Price in a misplaced position and hit a three-pointer.
5:2, the Jazz lead by three points in the away game, the Lakers attack.
In the third attack, because the Jazz inside line lost height, one was shorter than the other, so Lao Wang, who attacked twice in a row, did not choose to rest, but once again took a strong position. According to the original tactics, he moved directly to the basket and made a strong move.
Postman gesture.
The Postman has a lower chassis, not much difference in tonnage, and even stronger upper body strength. It adopts a tough top defense to prevent Old K from getting close to the basket.
However, Lao Wang turned around continuously, immediately preventing the postman from fully exerting his power, and then took the opportunity to approach the basket and ask for the ball with his back to the postman.
The ball came to Kobe's hands on the right wing and he immediately passed the ball.
"Crack!"
The ball fell into Lao Wang's hands.
At this time, the big bug in the low position on the right wing also rushed to his side, completing the double team.
The next moment, Lao Wang didn't pay any attention to the small movements of the big insect pestering him. The small insect's physique and strength were just a small insect to him. Instead, he put the ball on his chest with both hands, quickly moved his left foot backward, and paused with both feet.
Suddenly, the six forces merged into one, and the iron mountain exploded instantly.
"Peng!"
The postman, whose lower limbs were not as strong as his upper limbs, was knocked backwards and lost all defense.
Even the big insect that entangled Lao Wang staggered and almost fell down.
"Bang!"
The next moment, Lao Wang turned around and jumped up, clasping his hands tightly and directly blocking the postman.
"drop!"
The referee's whistle sounds.
"ah!"
The fans in the audience burst into cheers.
"Fuck you to death!"
Lao Wang himself shouted excitedly.
"Oh! Old K was one on two. He beat the postman and the tiger under the basket."
"It's a back attack again. Old K's style of play today is very explosive! He could have used flexible steps to get rid of the defender and then complete the attack, but he didn't. Instead, he directly destroyed the defender and completed the attack. He was recovering
The glory and light of the restricted area sweeper."
The two on-site commentators roared excitedly.
After the Lakers bench, Barkley said in surprise: "Is Old K really planning to kill the postman and Sabonis?"
"That's probably what he planned." Glider said.
Lightning analyzed: "I think Old K's idea is to focus on flexible play with less physical exertion in the longer regular season. This should also be the case in the first round series of the playoffs where the strength is very different. But
In the crucial series, he chose his previous style of play, which was more lethal and dominant."
In front of the Jazz bench, Jerry Sloan was calmly analyzing the situation on the court.
Obviously, he was wrong. Old K did not intend to use the regular season and first-round series playing style, but resumed his previous tough playing style.
As a result, Sabonis was kicked off the game just after the game started, and the postman also received a foul.
There is no doubt that Lao K is creating lethality.
As far away as Portland, the Trail Blazers are watching the game collectively.
Seeing Old K turning over the postman, Duncan's eyes couldn't help but shrink.
This season he faced off against Old K four times, and he suffered a lot in three of them. He was often dunked by Old K, and was even dunked face-to-face. In other words, the game after the All-Star Game was a draw, but he suffered a lot.
Suffered a lot of hardships.
"Remember, Tim, don't defend him from behind. Even if you have reached a tonnage of 121 kilograms, you can't stop his back attack. His back attack is so powerful that even O'Neal can't bear it. You
You must move forward and defend yourself from the sides, otherwise you will end up like the postman, being knocked over by him." Dameng warned.
Duncan nodded, staring at Old K on the TV, not knowing what he was thinking.
At the Great Western Forum Arena, Lao Wang went to the free throw line. The postman blocked the foul and made an extra free throw.
"Carl, be careful, control the foul." Jerry Sloan shouted.
After hearing this, the postman looked at the sidelines and nodded.
"brush!"
Extra penalty hit, five draws, Jazz offense.
Without Sabonis, there is no height under the basket, and the postman does not enter the basket, but pulls up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.
His low-post offense was mediocre. He didn't have the ability to attack at the basket against Lao Wang's defense. There was a big height difference. Facing Lao Wang, he didn't dare to use his elbow to open the way.
The postman moved to the high post, and it was Fordson who followed him, leaving Big Chong facing Old K under the basket. One big and one small, one tall and one short, the difference was very obvious. Lao Wang pushed Big Chong outside with one arm, completely
Occupied the position under the basket.
"Bang!"
The postman took advantage of the wall and shot from a high position, but his touch was a bit off and the ball went wide.
"Crack!"
Lao Wang quickly moved to block the big insect and protected the backcourt rebound, allowing the Lakers to attack.
Jerry Sloan realized a problem. If he didn't pull Old K out, in front of Old K, the big bug would become a small bug, and it would be difficult to grab offensive rebounds.
Only by grabbing more rebounds can the offense have greater initiative, but it is difficult for the Jazz to do that now, so they will be in a passive position.
Wang Tiejun came to the frontcourt and moved to the basket again.
Following his movements, Jazz's nerves were raised, and the defensive formation instantly shrank inward.
"Whoosh!"
Taking advantage of Stockton's unpreparedness, Mark Price quickly jumped and passed the ball, and the ball flew in.
"Crack!"
Two meters in front of the basket, before entering the reasonable collision zone, Lao Wang received the ball with his back to the postman and was hitting the postman with his back. The tiger rushed over and slapped him on his right hand, knocking the ball away.
.
The players are one, there is no foul, the referee's whistle does not sound, and the game continues.
Lao Wang quickly leaned over to grab the ball, regaining control of the ball before the big bug, and then immediately passed it out to Kobe who rushed into the wing from outside the three-point line.
"What a risk! If you make another mistake, it will be twice." Su Qun breathed a sigh of relief.
Kobe caught the ball, Hornacek had already caught up, and he forced a jumper.
"Bang!"
The basketball hits the basket and rises.
Under the basket, the postman is in the innermost position, and outside is the big bug, as well as Lao Wang and Fordson. The four of them huddle together and compete for rebounds.
"mine!"
Lao Wang held the big bug with his right hand, then took off with all his strength, grabbed the ball with his left hand before the postman, and swung the ball to his side. Then he took off a second time and grabbed the offensive rebound.
The moment he landed, he took off for the third time, and his huge body violently bumped forward in the air, hitting the postman who was turning around.
The postman's ability to continuously take off was poor and he couldn't keep up with Lao Wang's offensive rhythm. He didn't even know who had the ball in the end.
Although Da Chong's continuous take-off ability is strong, his height is completely at a disadvantage, and he is also older, his physical functions are declining, and he cannot grab Lao Wang's rebounds.
"Bang!"
As he dunked hard with both hands, the rim exploded, and the postman plunged directly onto the floor and was dunked over.
"drop!"
The referee's whistle sounded.
"yeah!"
The Great Western Forum Arena was completely boiling. Lao Wang dunked over his opponent in the most powerful way, making the atmosphere at home directly high.
"Ouch!"
Looking down at the postman lying at his feet, Lao Wang roared excitedly again, waving his fist to the Lakers fans very forcefully, making the cheers at the scene go up to a higher level. The atmosphere was so warm that it was like an eruption.
Like a volcano.
"5:7, Lao K scored 7 points in a row and we took the lead."
"Old K was a violent Tyrannosaurus rex tonight. He knocked over Sabonis twice in a row, dunked the postman twice and once. He was destroying the Jazz in the most violent way."
The two on-site commentators roared with great excitement.
In the ESPN live broadcast, Luo Lin shook his head and praised: "In the four games against the Jazz in the regular season, Old K did not play a strong confrontation, but now he has restored his original tough style of play. In the crucial second round, he started well
With the strongest confrontation and the most powerful dominance, he is destroying the morale of the Jazz step by step and trying to directly destroy them physically. He is too strong!
This is the strength of the number one active player, the King of the Lakers. Whether it is Sabonis, the Bug, or the postman, they can only deal with it passively, falling at the feet of old K again and again. They seem unable to resist the bloody rule of the conqueror Caesar.
.”
Oldman smiled excitedly and said: "If Sabonis doesn't play, the Jazz will not be able to resist the rule of the King of Lakers.
But if Sabonis plays, I think the Jazz should also prevent him from encountering strong confrontation from Old K again, otherwise he won't be able to last long."
