Chapter 111 Billups Upgraded
Relying on Big Ben's dunk, the Knicks rewritten the score to 11:4, leading the Lakers by 7 points. This is a good start.
This time it was the Lakers' turn to attack, and Billups bullied Xiaoyu again. The defensive action was very strong, and Xiaoyu was almost struggling.Fortunately, Fox had better eyesight and ran over to catch up, and Xiao Slowyu sent the basketball safely across halftime.
At this time, the Knicks began to implement the defensive tactics formulated by Jeff Van Gundy before the game——
Implement the second tactic of Jordan's rule on O'Neal, let Ben Wallace defend O'Neal alone, while the rest of the team is responsible for marking O'Neal's teammates, including Kobe.
Ben Wallace actually has no good way to deal with O'Neal, except to rely on abnormal static force to push him out of the three-second zone, and then he can only go around and defend.There is too much height difference. Once O'Neal catches the ball, he hits back + turns and dunks almost steadily. At that time, Ben Wallace had almost nothing to do except foul.Then he can only make him catch less balls and play less by going around the front to defend.
As for the marking of others:
Rasheed Wallace has an advantage in height, wingspan, and strength against Robert Horry, and Horry himself is not good at breakthroughs. Facing Rasheed Wallace’s shooting is absolutely uncomfortable. But the greater the defensive pressure on Kobe, the more difficult the shot is, the more he can score!
Fisher circled from the left to the right outside the three-point line, and found that his teammates were all stared at by the Knicks lunatics. How could he receive the ball?
I wasted a lot of time just dribbling the ball halfway through the court, and I couldn't pass the ball around for a long time. Seeing that the attack time is about to run out, do I have to come up with one myself?
But Billups is still attached to Xiaoyu, preventing him from dribbling comfortably, passing the ball comfortably, and shooting comfortably!
This is all learned from that old rascal Kidd. It is too sad to say the learning process, but the effect is very obvious.
Faced with Billups' strong defensive pressure, Fisher finally gave up shooting. He threw the ball to Kobe. This is a blame!
But Kobe doesn't think so. He thinks the more critical and time-consuming the ball, the more it should be handed over to him. Others are not sure, right?
As soon as Kobe received the ball, Zhao Ke immediately stuck to him and interfered with the shot!
Anti-breakthrough?No, not enough time.
Although Kobe was concentrating on entangled with Zhao Ke at this time, he still saw the attack time that was about to run out!
With no choice left, Kobe gave Zhao Ke a sharp push, stepped back and made a three-pointer.
Zhao Ke leaned back, quickly stood firm, followed Kobe to take off and stretched out his hand to interfere with his shot, but Kobe still scored!
The score was chased to 11:7. This goal gave Kobe great confidence, and the frustration and anger caused by Zhao Ke's block just now were swept away.
The Knicks attacked, and Billups dribbled the ball one step outside the three-point line. While the little slow fish defending him was still shrinking within the three-point line, he suddenly raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.
This is a bit like the way he later partnered with Hamilton in the Pistons, or even with Anthony in the Nuggets. It is the mature Billups' style of play.
Billups is not a model of a traditional point guard. In his big heart, in addition to passing the ball, there is also a cold-blooded and ruthless offense!
When attacking, he is very good at using his own advantages to bully his opponents, seize a weakness, and fight to the death.For example, when the opponent is shorter than him, he will use his height advantage to overpower the opponent; for example, when he meets a strong opponent but lacks speed, his speed advantage can be fully displayed.And Fisher is short, strong, and slow in comparison.
What Billups is best at offensively is to face disadvantaged opponents and make strong shots, just like now!
This seemingly unreasonable three-pointer got into the net pocket unreasonably!
The score became 14:7, and the Knicks continued to lead by 7 points.
Zhao Ke looked eagerly at the side, did Billups accumulate enough experience points to upgrade?
After 82 starts in one season, plus Kidd's honing in the playoffs, did the bronze warrior Billups change his shotgun and directly advance?
Zhao Ke ran over and gave Billups a high-five to celebrate, taking some heat from his hands by the way.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe, who had regained his confidence, asked for the ball directly from Xiao Slowyu. Fisher glanced at O'Neal. He was still fighting wits with Ben Wallace in the three-second zone and had no time to talk to them.Only then did he feel relieved to pass the ball to Kobe.
Zhao Ke continued to imitate Leonard's defensive style and implemented a full range of "death winding" on Kobe.
But Kobe was full of confidence at this time, completely ignoring Zhao Ke's defense, stomped his feet on the ground, and jumped close to Zhao Ke, which was a wide-angle fadeaway jumper.
Zhao Ke estimated that Kobe would lie down and fall to the ground after finishing his shooting action. In order to prevent the referee from relying on him, Zhao Ke just raised his hands after Kobe took off to block Kobe's line of sight and the route of the ball, and did not make any further defensive actions.
And this ball is also very crisp and iron.
Kobe insisted on maintaining the gesture after the ball, and even fell down and still lay on the ground, staring at the arc of the basketball until it was rejected by the basket.
Kobe was still muttering: "This goal should be scored..."
He spread his hands to see if the sweat in the palms of his hands was affecting the quality of the shot.
The rebound was taken away by Ben Wallace. He has a much sharper sense of rebound than O'Neal, which makes up for his disadvantage in height.
However, this rebound has nothing to do with the above reasons. It is a long rebound, and O'Neal just defeated Ben Wallace in the three-second zone fight. Ben stood farther outside, and the basketball almost flew over his head.
O'Neill could only look at the ball and sigh, and it took a lot of effort, but he was all crippled by Kobe.
Da Ben, who got the rebound, suddenly saw Billups running wildly beckoning to him, so he threw the basketball towards Billups' back like a discus throw.
Billups ran all the way to the basket before catching up with the basketball. He picked the basket lightly and scored two points.
Billups panted heavily and gave Daben a thumbs up. Daben's pass is not acceptable to ordinary people. If he runs slowly, he just flies away from the baseline, okay?
Kobe, who didn't believe in evil, ran directly to the bottom line to meet Fisher this time. In fact, he was going to ask for the ball. Fisher didn't care at all, and he was almost annoyed by Billups.
Zhao Ke didn't come to harass him. Kobe, who was in a solo fight, was in the Knicks' interests.
