Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

Pick-and-roll, especially when there is a very threatening inside teammate like Nowitzki, the threat is always much greater than pulling out singles by yourself.

Wang Zhi is well aware of this.

Moreover, for a top perimeter defender like Kobe, it is difficult for him to be fooled twice with the same fake action.

After thinking about this, Wang Zhi just played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki.

In the third quarter, when Wang Zhi was playing the pick-and-roll, Kobe used the handcheck rule to make Wang Zhi make a mistake and drop the ball.

Now, Kobe's close defense still exists, and if Wang Zhi doesn't pay attention, the same situation is likely to happen again.

But obviously, Wang Zhi has found a pattern!

When Nowitzki's pick-and-roll came from the left, Wang Zhi first made a movement to go to the left, and made this movement a little "fake", and then he immediately moved to the right.

Sure enough, Kobe followed up, and his hands were about to pinch Wang Zhi's ball holder, forming a death entanglement!

At this time, Wang Zhi changed direction again, and suddenly pulled his center of gravity back to the left.

And because Kobe's center of gravity leaned to the right, he was pulled out of the position difference in an instant, and happened to form a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki.

Seeing that Wang Zhi was about to form an open shot, Fox could only defend up immediately, while Nowitzki formed a downward sequence.

Logically speaking, the best thing Wang Zhi can do now is to pass the ball to Nowitzki.

However, in his wide field of vision, he saw a key change in the Lakers' defense!

It seems that Nowitzki is in a down-swing open, but the Lakers' defense has begun to rotate.

Walker is making quick stops.

The point where the Lakers' defense emptied was Griffin, who was ambushing in the three-point area of ​​​​the weak side bottom corner.

Obviously, Griffin is the least threatening three-point shot in the Mavericks. In many cases, even if he has an open three-pointer, he is very likely to hit the iron with "six or six".

If Wang Zhi passes the ball to Nowitzki now, it is very likely to be interfered by Walker who is defending, or even steals.

Even if it is not formed, Nowitzki will not get an open chance, he still needs to attack one-on-one by himself.

But if it is passed to Griffin who is open, even if Wang Zhi passes the ball accurately, it may not be able to form a score.

Well, suddenly remembering what old Nelson said to him before playing, Wang Zhi decided to solve this problem by himself.

Facing Fox who came up on the top defense and interfered with the shot.

Wang Zhi chose a crotch dribble, lowered his center of gravity suddenly, and wanted to pass Fox.

Such a move made Fox immediately and subconsciously adjust the center of gravity backwards and move to prevent Wang Zhi from going directly!

Fox also understood very well that Wang Zhi could not be allowed to break through, otherwise, the Lakers' defense would be completely broken.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Zhi leaned forward with his body and steps, his leading right foot suddenly stepped out, kicked the ground with force, and then his whole body retreated sharply, pushing out the three-point line again.

Another beautiful step-back three-pointer, accompanied by a silky three-pointer.

Although the ball seemed to be shot a bit too big, it hit the backboard, but it just rebounded and scored.

"Ding, after dribbling fake action, complete a step-back three-point goal, dream value +3."

With Wang Zhi making this three-pointer, the point difference continued to close, and the Lakers' lead was already very small!

Fox was a little depressed. In this game, he had seen Wang Zhi's extremely difficult but also very precise retreat three-pointer stunt several times. Logically speaking, he should be on guard!

Indeed, when he stepped forward to defend Wang Zhi, he thought of it.

But in practice, the situation is not like that at all.

Even in the review now, Fox also believes that when Wang Zhi chooses to lower his center of gravity to break through himself, what should he choose?

There's no way he can't step back to gain space, otherwise, Wang Zhi will just clean him up and the Lakers' defense around the rim will be completely broken.

But now, it turns out that Wang Zhi has won another share.

For Fox, this is really a very difficult choice.

As for Wang Zhi, the success of this ball once again boosted his confidence!

That's right, the two offenses in the third quarter were intercepted by Kobe, one of the strongest perimeter defenders of this era, using the handcheck rule.

For a while, Wang Zhi was a little frustrated, and had the idea that his own characteristics might not be able to adapt to the rules of this era.

But now, he has proved that with a little flexibility, his characteristics that are out of tune with the times can completely survive under the rules that are very unfavorable to outside attackers.

Yes, it is to use "fake action".

This time, Wang Zhi used a double fake to make Bryant misjudgment again at the start, thus getting off the defense, and finally scored a perfect 3-pointer with a step-back three-pointer.

In a way, it's a pretty good 1-on-2.

This kind of performance naturally gave him firm confidence again.

Kobe, who failed to defend again, still couldn't see the slightest expression change on his face.

It's just that the Lakers fans at the scene began to get a little anxious.

"What? Why can't you guard that rookie all of a sudden? Let him score so many points?"

"What's going on here? The Mavericks are disgusting on the offensive end, and they can't defend on the defensive end. How did it suddenly become like this?"

"Don't do it, Lakers, it would be too funny to lose this game."

Indeed, if the complete Lakers lose at home to the Mavericks with two core rotations, it sounds very incredible.

But the current situation is imminent for the home team!

Before the fans of the Lakers sighed how long, the biggest problem came again!

Beep!

With the whistle of the referee, the Mavericks fouled O'Neal again.

"Shark hacking tactics" continued, and O'Neill once again had to accept the test of free throws.

Bang!

Unfortunately, his first free throw hit the iron again.

With three free throws in a row, the number one center in the league, who was killing all directions on the field not long ago and had a bright smile, now has a serious expression on his face!

Free throws are his biggest weakness, and at this moment, in front of tens of thousands of Los Angeles fans who regard him as a city hero, he continuously showed his biggest shortcoming. Such a situation, psychologically, formed itself A great torment.

This suffering may be greatly affecting his mentality.

Bang!

Another 2 free throws missed.

The Mavericks' shark-slashing tactics are making money!

In desperation, the Lakers could only request a timeout again!

The situation on the court changed suddenly. The Lakers, who had played smoothly before, suddenly encountered a huge test on both offense and defense.

In Longguo, the fans watching the game were also dumbfounded at this time.

"No, no, the invincible Lakers can be beaten like this by such a Mavericks team?"

"Why did that traitor suddenly become fierce all of a sudden? He was able to score consecutively under Kobe's defense? There is something..."

"The shark-slashing tactic of the Mavericks is really high-minded. It seems that the number one player in the league is so embarrassed."

"No way, who told him not to practice free throws well."

"Honestly speaking, last time I watched the game between the Mavericks and the Rockets, plus today's game, this guy Wang Zhi is really a bit fierce. It would be great if he could join the Longguo men's basketball team."

The situation is indeed not optimistic for the Lakers.

Zen master Phil Jackson had to face a choice at this time.

How to crack the Mavericks' off-the-wall shark-slashing tactics, as the Legendary coach, he knows how to deal with it.

Nothing more than two methods.

One is for O'Neal to make all those goddamn free throws!

Even if it is 1 of 2 free throws every time, it is not a loss.

But now, Shark has missed 4 free throws in a row. It seems that there is something wrong with his mentality.

Then, we must use the timeout to adjust his mentality.

But obviously, this method is not necessarily reliable.

The second method is to let Shark take a rest. As long as he is not on the court, the Mavericks naturally have no way to implement the shark-killing tactic.

But the problem with this method is that O'Neal is now the number one player in the league. It doesn't seem like a good attempt to let him go at this decisive moment.

Perhaps, when 90% of the coaches in the league encounter this kind of problem, they dare not directly replace the Sharks.

But Phil Jackson is different. As the Legendary coach who has created two consecutive dynasties in 10 years, he has the absolute right to speak in the Lakers. This right to speak even surpasses the three-time FMVP O'Neal.

In other words, O'Neill dared not listen to the words of the Zen master!

And this pause, the first sentence of the Zen Master, is to ask Kobe: "Kobe, are you ready?"

Kobe didn't say anything, just wiped his sweat with a towel and nodded.

Ever since, the Zen Master patted O'Neill on the shoulder and said, "Shaq, take a rest first, recover your physical strength, and end the game later!"

Everyone knows the meaning of this sentence, including O'Neill himself.

Despite O'Neal's displeasure, he probably believes that the next time he makes a free throw, he'll make both.

But he sat down and drank a sports drink for energy.

On the sidelines, Scarlett held a large cup of coffee and other snacks, and had been waiting for a long time.

At this time, she saw Wang Zhi's handsome performance on the field, and gradually became anxious in her heart, and asked: "Sister Julie, is your idea really feasible?"

Julie next to her smiled and said, "Whether you can do it or not depends on you. As a Hollywood actress who aspires to become a star, if you don't even have such acting skills, you can probably give up your stardom."

But, Miss Julie, I have to have a chance before I can start planning?

"Waiting is also one of your compulsory courses. You are still very young and you must learn to wait for opportunities. If you are eager for quick success, maybe you will screw things up...

Scarlett listened to Julie's words and was thoughtful. What she said was very reasonable, and it was that kind of principle, which didn't just apply to tonight's plan.

The Lakers made a bold substitution adjustment!

Directly replaced O'Neal, and Medvedenko, who was not bad at free throws.

At this critical moment, Shaquille O'Neal, I have to say, Phil Jackson is still very courageous!

Seeing the adjustment made by the opponent, Old Nelson laughed, and said to the assistant coaches: "Phil is competing with us, haha!"

The Mavericks dugout had a good laugh.

Indeed, in this game, they have no burden at all.

Originally, the two cores were rested in rotation, and they planned to come to train or experiment.

If you lose the game, that's okay.

Now, a shark-slaying tactic has forced the opponent to deal with it seriously!

replace O'Neill

It is indeed the best way to deal with it. Although it is said that O'Neal has the top destructive power at the basket, the powerful part of the shark-killing tactic is that it directly abolishes O'Neal on the offensive end.

Under such circumstances, if O'Neal's free throws are very hip, then it doesn't make much sense to keep him on the court.

The Mavericks assistant asked, "Coach Downey, they replaced Shaq, so how are we going to play?"

Old Nelson said with a smile: "I'll leave this to Wang Zhi, I think he will know how to fight!"

The timeout ends, the game continues, and the Mavericks attack.

Van Exel dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, but still gave it to Wang Zhi.

Nowitzki came out to play the pick-and-roll for Wang Zhi like the previous offense, and Wang Zhi used a fake to avoid Bryant's defense and passed the pick-and-roll.

The situation is almost the same as the previous round.

However, in the face of Fox's marking defense, this time Wang Zhi did not choose to use a step-back three-pointer, but directly accelerated to break through Fox and came to the basket

For Medvedenko, after the emergency stop, he made continuous fake movements of assembling the ball and raising his hands, and did not point to the new white center of the Lakers.

It seems that the backup center of the Lakers has a very good defensive habit on the defensive end, and will not jump at one point.

At this time, Wang Zhi was not in a hurry to pass the ball. After adjusting his center of gravity, he used the pivot foot as the fulcrum, turned around like a compass, and made a 360-degree turn to shoot.

It was this shooting action that convinced Medvedenko that Wang Zhi must turn around and shoot!

So, he seized this opportunity and rushed over to give Wang Zhi a big hat.

Unexpectedly, this was Wang Zhi's fake shot. After finally pointing to the defense, Wang Zhi adjusted his center of gravity, took a step forward, and Lan easily passed the basket.

"Ding, complete the fake shot and score, dream value +2."

Wang Zhi's goal brought the difference between the two teams to only 2 points.

At the scene, the enthusiasm of the Lakers fans was gone. They all widened their eyes at this moment, looking at the No. 16 rookie of the Mavericks, showing incredible expressions.

"This guy at 5.7 actually knows how to play under the basket?"

"This rookie played like crazy tonight, there is nothing we can do to stop him from scoring."

"The lead is gone, and now that Shaq is not on the court, the Lakers will be in danger if they continue to play like this!"

On the Mavericks bench, the players stood up excitedly, waving towels and imitating.

Obviously, Wang Zhi's consecutive scoring has completely boosted the morale of the team.

Steve Nash, who was resting, also gave a thumbs up at this time, and Finley next to him praised: "Mike, I think this guy Wang Zhi really has potential.

Whether it's the insight, or the rhythm that seems slow but very good, even his realistic fake moves, it is very good!"

Finley also said with a smile: "Yes, Wang Zhi will become our strong teammate, we will attack the championship together, I can't wait to work with him!"

On the coach's bench, the old Nelson who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai was already smiling all over his face, and said to the assistants: "Look, look, let me say, this guy Wang Zhi has a good understanding

, The Lakers just replaced O'Neal, we don't need to say, he knows how to hit the ball to the basket, maybe he can still make shots from the outside, but only when he hits the basket, can he make the opponent more uncomfortable!"

The assistants also praised: "I didn't expect that Wang Zhi's footwork under the basket is also very good, oh no, his fake moves are too realistic and very silky, there is almost no violation.

He Gan, this guy is really special!"

"Yeah, Wang Zhi is definitely a treasure! Wait, we seem to have found a treasure, he can become an All-Star player, and even better!"

Old Nelson was very proud of the assistants' amazement. If it hadn't been for the game, he would have already lighted a cigar comfortably. .
