NBA backer king

Chapter 428 Old K Is My Apprentice

On the TNT live broadcast, Barkley analyzed: "Old K is still quite calm, and he didn't force a shot in the double-team."

Bill Wharton said: "Campbell and the postman are not small in tonnage. Old K has lost the sideways attack that is most conducive to breaking the double-team and turning around. The double-teaming of these two people can cause him considerable confusion, so it is not easy to shoot the opponent in the double-team."

Barkley said with a smile: "But I believe that old K is capable of shooting in double teams, but the efficiency will be reduced. He will not do that easily. He is a guy who pursues efficiency."

At this time, the Jazz advanced to the frontcourt, Campbell pulled to the left wing again, and the postman pulled to the high position again for the pick-and-roll.

Stockton used the wall to break through, and Wang Tiejun on the left waist chose to return to defense again.

But this time he returned to defense, he did it more carefully, instead of going directly to the basket, he prepared to block Stockton's layup from the wing.

And in this way, his position is too high, which can simultaneously cut off the passing line of Stockton and Campbell who was emptied by him.

If Stockton chooses to drop the ball, then both he and Horry will have more time to return to Campbell.

Stockton did not choose to give it to Campbell, and he did not dare to lay up in front of the old K. Instead, he pulled to the right and made a second pick-and-roll with Hornacek on the right wing, and gave the ball to the opponent during the pick-and-roll.

One step away from the right waist, Hornacek received the ball, made a false throw, shook Kidd who was jumping up, and then took off for the second time.

Just at this moment, a huge figure rushed towards him with the sound of wind.

"Snapped!"

After the jump, Wang Tiejun directly caught Hornacek's jumper with one hand.

"Catch the cap! Old K grabs the cap and kills the gun!" The passionate roar of the live commentator suddenly sounded.

"Oh!"

Senasek's wife sighed and looked away, unable to bear to see her husband being caught.

"Bad guy Ankou..."

Seeing her dear dad being bullied, the three-year-old Abby yelled unhappily.

The Suns did not play a fast break and entered a positional battle.

Lao Wang took the ball in the low post on the left wing, Campbell tried his best to defend, and at the same time interfered with his pass, and then the postman quickly implemented a weak side defense.

He can force a shot, but the hit rate will not be very high, so he chooses to split the ball, hold Campbell with his left elbow, move his right foot up and sideways, and throw his right hand violently, giving Rasheed Wallace a step in the right bottom corner.

Hornacek on the right lost the lightning and made up the defense at full speed. Unfortunately, Lao Wang passed the ball very quickly, almost in a straight line. His defense was still a beat slower. When he arrived, the troll had already shot a jumper.

"boom!"

The open ball missed, bounced the ball, was picked up by Hornacek, and the Jazz attacked.

"The open ball, the opportunity has completely come out, but it's a pity that the luck is not good." Su Qun sighed.

"3:4, don't worry, play steadily at home, the tactics are completely fine, it's just the feeling of not being able to shoot." Zhang Lili laughed.

Turn back and the Jazz will hit the pick-and-roll again.

First, Russell on the left ran to the top of the arc to make a wall, and Stockton took the opportunity to break into the paint, attracting Wang Tiejun's defense.

Almost at the same time, the Postman pulled up from the low post and made a pick-and-roll with Hornacek, and then the former cut outside and the latter cut inside.

When the two parried, Stockton just broke into the paint with the ball and encountered Wang Tiejun's interception, but Wang Tiejun defended on the flank as before, cutting off the passing line between him and Campbell on the left wing, so he immediately gave the ball to the postman who was one step from the outside to the three-point line on the right wing.

The postman received the ball, and Rasheed Wallace, who was blocked for a while, jumped up immediately and made a two-point shot.

"brush!"

Splashes appeared and two points were hit.

Lao Wang, who was about to grab a rebound at the basket, turned around and ran away immediately.

"The Jazz are very patient, and their tactics are very clear. It is running and pick-and-rolls to find open and misplaced positions. The Suns should switch defenses faster, otherwise the postman will be difficult to control." Barkley reminded.

"Yeah, he's super-accurate," Bill Walton said.

Barkley added: "In these few rounds, the Jazz have shown a problem. Perhaps considering the old K's defense in the penalty area, the postman and Campbell always pull out and don't attack in the low post. How can the Jazz win the Suns? No wonder."

Bill Walton nodded and said, "Don't tell me I haven't noticed. If there is no more efficient low-post offense, it is really difficult for the Jazz to win against the Suns. Of course, if the Suns' defense is weak, it is somewhat possible."

The Suns attacked, Lao Wang was double-teamed by the postman again, this time he decided to play one himself.

The postman came from below to assist in the defense. After receiving the ball, he turned around with his left foot as the axis, carried Campbell on his left waist, hit the board at a 45-degree position, and hit a goal.

"5:6, the efficiency of both sides is good." Su Qun said.

"The Suns' defense speed is not enough, and the ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is not good enough. In addition, the right wing must be thrown, especially Rasheed Wallace. If there is an open spot, he must throw in, otherwise the postman will be unscrupulous against the iron army's weak side defense." Zhang Reasonable said.

"Yes, the right winger can't make shots and is always being double-teamed to make up defenses. Old K has a lot of resistance to get to the basket, and his efficiency cannot be improved." Su Qun nodded.

"boom!"

This time Rasheed Wallace switched defenses very quickly and arrived when the postman made a shot, which affected his shot and failed to hit.

Wang Tiejun scored a backcourt rebound and the Suns attacked.

Seeing the team slowly advancing in the backcourt, Old K was almost walking to the frontcourt. The team's offense was like a worn-out carriage. D'Antoni wanted to yell: "Old K, run, or sit on the bench for me."

"Ugh!"

Thinking of leaving after the playoffs, he couldn't help but sigh, the future is bleak!When will my dream come true?

The Suns frontcourt, the ball was passed to the low post on the left wing, and almost before that, the postman started the weak side defense.

"Whoosh!"

Lao Wang knew that if he wanted to break the postman's weak side defense, he had to let the troll throw it out, and the ball flew to the right bottom corner again.

"brush!"

This time, Rasheed Wallace lived up to Lao Wang and hit a long two-pointer.

5:8, the Suns lead and the Jazz attack.

Next, the Jazz missed a goal again, and the Suns attacked, and they still played the old king. After attracting double-team defenses, they created opportunities for other positions.

This time Rasheed Wallace got another pass from Pharaoh, but Hornacek's supplementary defense was very fast. He had no chance and passed the ball to Lightning. Lightning encountered Stockton's supplementary defense again and forced a miss.

"boom!"

When the ball hit the basket, Pharaoh emerged from behind Campbell. He jumped higher and faster, pressed the ball into the basket with one hand, and knocked Campbell over to the basket.

"yeah!"

The whole audience burst into cheers.

"damn it!"

Jerry Sloan was very annoyed. He lost the backcourt rebound and was directly dunked by the old K. This is not counted. His own center was also dunked, which seriously damaged morale.

"Beautiful buckle!"

During the TNT live broadcast, Barkley praised, and said: "The reason why old K has such a high dominance at the basket is that I polished it for him back then, and he is my apprentice.

I taught him how to block, how to train the pace of the basket, how to fake moves, how to rebound, how to defend, without me, he would have at least two years to reach his peak. "

"Charles, does old K agree with you?" Bill Wharton asked with a smile.

"Of course he will agree, and I have paid a lot for his growth." Barkley shouted.

"Then you were sold to Mosaic?" Bas Felton said suddenly.

"..." Barkley was stunned.

"Puff!" Bill Wharton laughed.

"Damn it, Bass, that's the team's choice. In fact, there's nothing wrong with it. I won a championship in Mosaic, and old K also led the team to win the championship in 95. We are a win-win situation." Barkley scolded with a smile.

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 guys are doing a good job, but we need to focus our attention more. For example, when you are under the basket and there is a monster behind you..."

He stared at Campbell and said: "Be sure to block first, don't let old K get a chance, and then your partner will grab the rebound."

Campbell gasped and nodded. The confrontation with old K exhausted his energy a lot. After only a few rounds, he was already sweating profusely and out of breath.

Jerry Sloan gave a few more points to pay attention to, and then said: "Others are good, but from now on, we must strengthen the low-post offense.

Eldon Campbell, Karl, the team needs your low post offense now, don't be afraid of the old K's defense, go closer to the basket, and play our offense in the low post, OK? "

"OK." The two nodded.

"Be prepared for the outside line. After the inside line points the ball, you must hit the open space." Jerry Sloan urged again.

At this point the timeout ends and play resumes.

Campbell didn't pull too far, just on the left low sideline, and Lao Wang pushed in, preventing him from entering the paint.

The ball was passed down, the Suns did not double-team, he held the ball with his hands up, looking for opportunities to attack or pass.

Just as Campbell was receiving the ball, the low-post postman on the right suddenly turned around, swung his left waist, and gave Rasheed Wallace an elbow. When the opponent's body froze, he quickly got rid of the defender and cut to the basket.

Campbell made a throw with both hands, and the postman jumped lightly after catching the ball and sent the ball into the basket.

"7:10, the Jazz played a good offense this time, and cooperated well in the low position." Zhang Reasonable said.

"The Jazz should strengthen their low-post offense. This is their first low-post offense," Su Qun said.

Zhang reasonably analyzed: "Jerry Sloan is an old coach. He must know the importance of low-post offense and how efficient the iron army's low-post offense is. If the Jazz does not have low-post offense, he knows what the result will be, so he will not ignore it."

Next, Lao Wang was bumped by Campbell while holding the ball. The ball jumped in his hand because he was not holding the ball firmly. Campbell's tonnage and strength reflected its role at this moment.

The pair of postmen created a double-team opportunity. The postman quickly rushed to the position and formed a double-team for him. Then Russell on the left wing also rushed down. The three teamed up to surround him. Six arms and six big hands surrounded him to death.

Can't use sideways to hit, and it's not under the basket. He can forcefully get up and dunk under the basket. He can't break through this kind of double-team away from the basket.

"Here." Holly shouted from outside.

"Snapped!"

Lao Wang passed the ball to Horry from the gap, but the ball was cut off by Russell.

"Good job, just play like this." Jerry Sloan shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

"Old K, be careful. Campbell and the postman teamed up, and the defense is very strong." Bas Felton said in the TNT live broadcast.

Barkley analyzed: "The tonnage of both of them is very large. As long as the old K can't get rid of Campbell at the first time, or can't transfer the ball immediately, he will immediately fall into the double-team of the two. The Jazz is very decisive in double-teaming the old K.

It was Campbell's defense just now that prevented old K from holding the ball firmly in the first place, and unable to shoot or pass the ball immediately, which created an opportunity for the postman. "

Bill Walton said: "With Old K's passing ability, the price to be paid for double-teaming him is actually very high, but if he does not double-team, Old K will play super-high efficiency in the low post. The opponent can't bear this kind of efficiency at all, so he can only choose double-teaming. It can be said that Old K was double-teamed, but he was actually forced out by himself."

"Yes, the old K forced his opponent to double-team himself. This is the standard equipment of a super giant. If he doesn't have the ability to approach the opponent to double-team himself, he is not worthy of being called a super giant, haha!" Barkley laughed.

The game continued, and the Jazz continued to double-team Wang Tiejun in the low post, mainly for weak side defense. If his position was raised, Russell would go down and double-team.While double-teaming the low post, strengthen the defense of the outside line to avoid giving the opponent a wide open.

Under the operation of the Jazz's already very mature defensive system, a very good defensive effect has been produced.

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 have suffered a lot in defending pick-and-rolls.

After the third quarter of the game, the score between the two sides was still tight, 74:78, and the Suns only led by 4 points.

Wang Tiejun played 33 minutes in the first three quarters and only rested for 3 minutes. Campbell's desperate top defense and the postman's full assistance defense did create a big obstacle to his offense, preventing him from easily scoring the basket. So far, he has made 15 of 8 shots and a shooting percentage of 53.3%.

This hit rate is significantly lower than the first and second rounds, and even nearly ten percentage points lower than the regular season, which shows how strong the low-post defense of Campbell and Postman is.

Among all shots, there were only 5 attacks at the basket, accounting for 33.3%. Too few, 4 shots, and a success rate of 80%.

加上6罚4中，三节拿到了20分10篮板5助攻1抢断3盖帽4失误3犯规的数据。

Su Qun said: "Old K's scoring and rebounding are not as good as in the first round and the second round, and his turnovers have increased a lot. Campbell and Postman's defense is really good."

Zhang rationally analyzed: "Campbell did a good job defending, most of his physical energy was spent on defense, and he seldom attacked.

He has tonnage, strength, height, decent defensive skills and defensive awareness. As long as he holds the iron army for the first time, the postman or other defenders can come to double-team. "

Su Qun was a little unconvinced and said: "But old K's efficiency in double-teaming is not bad, it is still above the standard."

Zhang Lili nodded and said with a smile: "Of course it is possible. He scored 20+10 in the double-team and scored 5 energy. He also had 3 assists and [-] caps. This performance is superstar level.

But from these three quarters, we can see the maturity of the Jazz. They were not so strong last year. At that time, the postman double team could not limit the Iron Army, but now they have achieved the restriction on the Iron Army.

The strength of the Jazz not only strengthens the fifth position, but also not only enriches the thickness of the bench, but more importantly, the establishment and maturity of the offensive and defensive system.

You can see how well they do defensive transitions. Even though the postman keeps passing to help defend, most of the vacancies left by him are filled.

From my point of view, their defense is actually almost the same as the zone defense. "

Su Qun asked with some concern: "Director Zhang, the Jazz are so strong now, what do you think about the Suns tonight?"

Zhang Lili shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the Jazz are playing so well and the Suns can still take the lead. This is confidence.

After entering the last quarter, the Jazz will have a very big weakness exposed, and this weakness will determine the outcome of the game, Xiao Su, do you see it? "

"What weakness?" Su Qun asked confusedly.

Zhang Lili smiled and said, "Physical fitness."

"Physical fitness?" Su Qun was surprised.

"Yes, it's physical fitness."

Nodding, Zhang Lili smiled and said, "I'm mainly talking about Campbell. He just fought with Tie Jun for three quarters. Tie Jun fought for 33 minutes, and he also played for 31 minutes. He couldn't run just now. How could he fight Tie Jun again in the final quarter? Everyone in the world knows how good Tie Jun's physical fitness is."

"Yup!"

Su Qun said excitedly, "Campbell can't hold the old K, the postman can't reach the double-team position in time, and the old K can go directly to the basket."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Jazz should be replaced. They also have a backup center. Ostertag, who just played against the Iron Army, has a larger tonnage than Campbell, 130 kilograms like the postman. The No. 95 pick in the first round of 28 was trained by the Jazz as a meat shield, but he can't compare with Campbell.

He is white, with a shoe height of 218 cm, which is about the same as Tiejun, but his mobility is not as good as Campbell's. His game experience and defensive experience are far inferior to Campbell's. As far as the potential and strength he has shown so far, Campbell is a second-rate center, and he can even be regarded as a first-rate center, while he is not even a third-rate center. "

At the beginning of the last quarter, as expected by Zhang Reasonable, Jerry Sloan asked Campbell to rest for a few minutes and let the meat shield Ostertag take the lead.

After only 3 minutes of playing, Jerry Sloan had to send Campbell on the field, because Ostertag couldn't hold the old K at all.

The result of his inability to delay Old K was not only that he could not create double-team opportunities for the postman, but also had a more serious chain reaction.

After getting the ball, Lao Wang quickly got rid of the defender and entered the paint area. The postman's defense was always slow. Within 3 minutes, he completed three dunks, of which he knocked over the postman once.

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 persisted for 2 minutes, and it was not enough. Lao Wang could knock him over with a back arch, and then enter the basket to play the postman single-handedly.

Then Wang Tiejun took control of the situation, taking advantage of his powerful physical strength, frequently played high-quality low-post attacks, and scored a lot of times to the basket.

Although the postman tried his best to help defend, Campbell couldn't hold back old K. He didn't have enough time to help defend, and he was always a step slower.

In the end, Wang Tiejun led his team to defeat the Jazz, 92:104, and the Suns won by 12 points.
