Chapter 1904 Oops Oops, Missed Penalty
After missing two free throws, Ji Feng seized the opportunity and scored two more points, scoring 4 points in a row to help the Lakers narrow the point difference. Lakers fans once again saw the hope of chasing points.
The Lakers bench and players all high-fived each other in celebration, and Farmar did not forget to shake the towel in his hand a few times. Looking at each other, he could read the information in each other's eyes:
Doing this...it really works!
"Well done, Jordan, it's up to you whether you can make a comeback!" Ji Feng glanced at Jordan with satisfaction. This guy really didn't grow so big in vain. This free throw is indeed traditional!
Yes, seeing it now, I believe that knowledgeable fans already know clearly what tactics the Lakers are going to use. Yes, that is the one that has been talked about the most by fans since the new century, and has produced the most famous memes and famous scenes - — Shark-killing tactics!
Yes, it was the famous tactic that Ji Feng enjoyed during his rookie season!
As the name suggests, the "shark-cutting tactic" is a tactic invented for "Big Shark" O'Neal. Because O'Neal has no solution in the paint, but there is also a fatal penalty penalty difference, so many teams will foul O'Neal without the ball. , sending him to the free throw line, so the core of this tactic is to deliberately violate the poor O'Brien every time the Lakers hold the ball for a period of time.
Tsk tsk, no matter how long it takes to sigh, poor Shaq.
This tactic is also considered to be the only tactic that has a chance to prevent O'Neal from scoring points, which also proves O'Neal's strength in his peak period.
The most famous user of this tactic is undoubtedly Popovich. At that time, O'Neal made O'Neal angrily criticize Popovich as a parallel import on various occasions, which would only send him to the free throw line. In those years, the Lakers and Spurs In classic battles, there is always the figure of O'Pang who has no choice but to stand on the free throw line.
Not only O'Neal, but all guys who are not good at free throws will be taken special care of. For example, Bowen, Howard, and Rondo have all encountered this situation.
But in fact, tactics similar to the shark-cutting tactic had been used as early as the Wilt Chamberlain era. At that time, the main target was Chamberlain, so it was called the Zhang-cutting tactic at that time.
Chamberlain's greatness and absolute dominance naturally make him an important piece on the court in the final stalemate of the game. At the same time, his disastrous free throw shooting (career average 51%) also naturally makes him the primary target of opponents' intentional fouls. .
Even Chamberlain himself was reluctant to play because of the opponent's desire to send him to the free throw line. All this created a spectacle on the court, just like the audience watching a game that had nothing to do with basketball outside the court: Chamberlain basically looked like him on the court. Like a football player constantly dodging an opponent who is chasing him for a foul.
This scene is too funny, and it greatly reduces the enjoyment of the NBA, and it also slows down the rhythm of the court. Therefore, the NBA decided to set up new rules for off-ball fouls in response to this indecent scene - if the defense is If this kind of foul is committed against a player who does not have the ball and is not ready to control the ball 2 minutes before the end of the game, the offense can retain the ball after free throws (1 or 2).
The new rule stipulated that teams hoping to get the ball quickly in the final seconds had to foul the ball carrier, quenching any desire to play hide-and-seek with Chamberlain and his fellow brethren.
After a period of time, the Zhang Zhang tactic disappeared from the field, until a hot man appeared...
Nelson, a basketball scientist, a real man who is keen to find the various changes and ultimate truth of basketball, a guy who has made an indelible contribution to the development of basketball.
In the late 1990s, Nelson raised this tactic to a theoretical level: that is, in fact, when you repeatedly foul a player who is extremely strong in free throws, the defensive effect will often be better than a regular defense.
Therefore, Nelson developed this tactic into the whole court at any time he thought was suitable, not just limited to its original function. At the same time, he also bypassed the whistle for off-ball fouls, so we say that Nelson did not invent this tactic. , but slightly altered so that it presents itself in a completely different way: designed to minimize the opponent's score.
So the shark blamed the wrong person, and everything must be blamed on Nelson!
So those who like to study are scary guys!
And tonight, Jordan's name is destined to be written on the list of victims of the shark-killing tactic. Tonight is the moment when the Jordan-killing tactic explodes into the world!
But now, the Clippers haven't realized the seriousness of the matter. It's only four points. It's not the first time that Jordan missed two free throws. They finally fouled Powell. It's not a loss. They can just continue to organize.
However…
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded again. This time, as soon as Billups was about to take action, Jordan Hill and DeAndre Jordan, who were fighting for position inside, got entangled with each other. Just as DeAndre Jordan was about to move forward, Jordan Hill directly grabbed him. pants...the referee decisively blew the call and Jordan went to the free throw line again!
Jordan adjusted his pants and stood on the free throw line with a shocked look on his face. Now he still feels that he earned it and committed a foul!
It has to be said that the Lakers guys are all born actors, and this shark-cutting tactic can also be used by everyone. It is really the highest level when others can't see it.
First penalty!
Penalty goal!
Jordan also has a season free throw percentage of 64%, and this penalty also proves himself.
However, the second free throw was missed again. Ji Feng rushed to grab the rebound. After dribbling the ball past half court, he saw that the defender Butler was a little far away and shot directly one meter away from the three-point line!
Chasing three points!
Score in!
"Oh, Ji Feng is playing more and more smoothly. He scored 7 points in a row. After another round, the Clippers lost another 2 points. The point difference is only 11 points!" O'Neal raised his eyebrows. He seemed to smell it. Something very familiar, the Lakers' tactics seem familiar...
"NICE!" Ji Feng high-fived Powell, signaling with their eyes to increase the intensity!
Powell understood it clearly. It's a foul, I'm good at it!
Obviously, the continuous counterattacks stimulated their desire.
Little Jordan scratched his forehead. Why did he feel that something was not right? He always felt that someone was plotting against him...
Danger, Jordan, Danger.
After being beaten 7-1 by the Lakers, the point difference was only 11 points. This was a very critical score. There were 2 minutes and 34 seconds left in the third quarter. The Clippers began to get anxious, especially Paul, who was preparing to take action himself. Help the team continue to stabilize the situation.
But the Lakers didn't give him a chance. Paul had just passed halftime when the whistle sounded again...
"Fuck! Why! FUCK!" Paul was almost furious, three times in a row, why is this happening!
Jordan once again stood on the free throw line with a confused look on his face. His mind still didn't realize that he was cut...
Jordan never disappoints, and once again made two free throws. Fortunately, it was the second free throw. The Lakers failed to break quickly, but they still could not prevent the Lakers from scoring. Ji Feng's sudden attack caused Griffin to make two free throws. Two free throws!
