The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 65 The defensive problem of the two teams!Hide far and run non-stop!
"The free throws are just a way for them to stop me from scoring well. If they foul me and I don't make the goddamn shot, then they made it."

Listening to Kobe's haughty words, Zhang Bolong was a little lost in thought.

In his previous life, there were many stars who would "use the rules rationally", and strange tricks such as long jump, braking, and giant loops emerged in endlessly.

Players are keen to take the initiative to make defensive fouls, so that they can stand on the free throw line and score points easily at a very small cost.

At first, Zhang Bolong, like many people, thought this style of play was ugly.

But over time, more and more players chose to do this, and he gradually got used to it.

People are starting to think it's the smart thing to do.

It seems that in order to win, it is not unreasonable to exploit loopholes in the rules.

But after Kobe made this shot, Zhang Bolong seemed to realize something.

There's nothing wrong with free throws, it's a penalty for a defender breaking the rules.

But basketball is not only about punishing opponents, it is also about showing your talent!
Taking the initiative to find free throws and "touch porcelain" to fight for fouls, how can this be the most original appearance of basketball?

Like the little Iverson who once fought bloody battles in the chaotic army; Kobe who is still beautiful and picturesque despite the scars; the elf Irving who dances with basketball through gorgeous skills...

To them, not being able to score the way they like seems to be the sacrilege of basketball.

Even Wade, who won a championship in last year's finals but got the notoriety of "body hair man", at least got those free throws by throwing himself into the air again and again.

Many fans feel that the free throws he got are unfair, but whether they are fair or not,

You should also have professionalism and self-cultivation when you make fouls.

……

As the game progressed, the confrontation intensity of the Pistons players became more and more intense, and Kobe, Odaidai and others also frequently walked to the free throw line.

It was probably Zhang Bolong's mention of being defeated by the Pistons last night that stimulated Kobe, and this black mamba started to attack with all his might from the very beginning.

At the end of the first quarter, Kobe, who consumed a lot of energy on both offense and defense, scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the team lead by 24 points with 19:5.

In this quarter, due to the overcrowding inside, Zhang Bolong didn't have a chance to break through and kill, and he didn't have enough ball possession outside, so he only relied on a long two-pointer to avoid zero.

After the start of the second quarter, the Pistons seemed to have figured out the scale of the referee's whistle in this game, and they were defending smartly on the verge of fouling.

At this time, their lineup, which was already thicker than the Lakers, showed an advantage.

The second team led by former All-Star player Antonio McDyess began to show off, the Argentine monster striker Delfino frequently fired from the outside, and Max Hill also picked up a few offensive rebounds on top of Turiaf.

The Pistons overtook the lead at 38:36 halfway through the second quarter.
After the mid-section timeout, Jackson glanced at Kobe, who was a little out of breath, and decided to ask Zhang Bolong to try defending against Hamilton.

The reason why such an arrangement was not made before the game was because although Zhang Bolong had a bug in his physical fitness, he had very little experience in defending against running without the ball.

In addition to going to the heavy guard opposite the hard top to get good results, his defensive footwork and speed have always been an obvious problem.

But in order to ensure Kobe's output on the offensive end, Jackson still replaced the defenders in charge of the two.

The game started again, and Zhang Bolong's opponent changed from the Xu Rulin Billups to the windy Hamilton.

Watching his opponent change from Kobe to this slow-footed rookie, Hamilton's mentality is as relaxed and enjoyable as an outing.

"Boy, did the Lakers give up the game? You can't even keep up with the tail lights of my sports car."

"It's an old car city right from the start, and I don't know how your repair skills are. Otherwise, you'll have to work hard to repair the car after the race."

Zhang Bolong's mouth has not yet suffered in the league.

After the main lineup came back, Kobe did not attack so urgently. After the ball fell into the position, the Lakers' main attack point became the inside twin towers.

O'Daidai played a tough attitude, and scored 4 points in consecutive shots with penalties under the opponent's overpowering defense. Bynum also completed a supplementary dunk after Kobe missed a shot.

The Pistons' defensive line shrank accordingly, and the Lakers played a strong-weak side switch under Zhang Bolong's organization.

Taking advantage of the Pistons' defense being too far behind for the time being, he got a few chances to shoot from the outside and successfully hit two three-pointers.

At 50:46, before halftime, the Lakers once again overtook the score.

During the intermission, Zhang Bolong drank a sports drink to symbolically replenish his energy.

After marking himself, he felt Hamilton's difficulty firsthand.

For him, this is not tired, but annoying.

Because it is difficult for him to completely follow the opponent.

Hamilton's lean physique, on the contrary, brings extraordinary flexibility and agility, which can help him easily walk through the crowd.

On the other hand, Zhang Bolong would always be pulled away by his running and create opportunities to score because of the opponent's blocking and his lack of agility.

Fortunately, this guy's precise mid-range shot was not very accurate today. Under Zhang Bolong's defense, he took three shots and missed the basket twice.

In fact, Hamilton's shooting percentage is below [-]% all the year round, which is not as high as Kobe Bryant's "no difficulty but also creation difficulty" Bryant.

In the third quarter, Zhang Bolong got the chance to lead the team himself.

Bynum is a pillar in the interior, and Parker, a point guard who can't organize, is responsible for biting from the outside.
The skier and Sasha waited for an opportunity to run on the outside, and formed a triangle structure with Zhang Bolong who was holding the ball, forming a stable three-point threat area.

The Pistons hadn't considered the threat of Zhang Bolong before the game, but Sanders didn't think his long shot was a common weapon.

If the outward-expanding defense is specially arranged for him, the Pistons' internal muscle groups will not be able to achieve the effect of the current iron wall.

Hamilton's endless running makes defensive players do not know how to defend, and Zhang Bolong is the same.

You fucking always stand one step away from the outside line, and only fools stick to the defense.

In this way, Zhang Bolong made the first ultra-long three-pointer of the field in front of Prince.

Before the man who had deflated Kobe in the Finals had time to stretch out his long arms, Zhang Bolong's shell had already hit the target.

In the next round, Zhang Bolong still stood in the same position.

"Still not coming out to defend? Then I will continue to hit here, and Jesus can't stop me, as I said."

Zhang Bolong hooked his hands provocatively, and then began to look up at the basket.

Fortunately, Prince also slowly walked out of the three-point line.

"You just vote, if you have the ability, vote for me here."

"Little Prince" is still a kind person, he will let you slap him in the face, and he will never say much.
