Why do you think it's so easy? Don't the Rockets have anyone inside? This is the benefit of the tactical ball. Because of Kidd's breakthrough, Curry holds the ball outside the left three-point line, which makes the Rockets' defensive attention focus.

It was concentrated on the left side, which is the so-called strong side. In this way, the weak side was obviously taken away, giving Tang Qian room to drive straight in, fully accelerate and fully take off.

Boom~

Otis Thorpe was directly hit by exhaust gas, and finally watched the Lakers fly high into the sky on the 29th.

The Tang Qian team took the lead and scored first.

After a fierce offensive and defensive battle, neither side scored for 2 minutes. It was not until the Lakers repeated their old tricks and Ben Wallace also performed an alley-oop dunk at the same position that Tomjanovich was a little dissatisfied.

shouted: "Concentrate on defense, don't ignore the weak side without the ball! Hakeem, stand slightly under the basket!"

But after the Rockets missed a three-pointer, Tang Qian scored another goal. It was still the same pattern, except that Ray Allen passed the ball to Kidd. After Kidd broke through and attracted the defensive attention, he raised his hand.

Throw, the basketball bounces off the board...The Lakers took off on the 29th and stormed! With a "bang", the Houston Rockets' basket was once again violently ravaged!

6-0, this is the first time in recent games that Tang Qian's team has taken the opening advantage. Olajuwon scored a goal on the offensive end, but within 15 seconds, Tang Qian's team staged another exquisite cooperation.

Stephen Curry shot a three-pointer from the right side, and the basketball was hollow and stabbed the basket. This is because the Rockets were too worried that Tang Qian would attack the weak-side basket and made excessive corrections, while your attention was on outside the three-point line.

As soon as he let go, Stephen Curry did not hesitate, he raised the knife with his hand and dropped it, and the basketball broke through the net in a high arc!

9-2, the Houston Rockets called a timeout.

Tang Qian walked off the court, seemingly not believing that the Houston Rockets would be so easy to "deal with."

This is the tactic set up by Jerry Sloan, called Reject.Lob. The literal translation is to refuse to lob the ball and refuse to play cumbersome and slow. However, the name of the tactic is more like satirizing the opponent. Because you can see that this tactic is full of

There are a lot of lob passes and high throw passes. For example, alley-oop is one of them. And it is also a variation of the pick-and-roll tactic. It uses high pick-and-rolls to create breakthrough space for the No. 1 position, and then the No. 1 position deliberately

Choose one side as the strong side, create a weak side, and then pass the ball to the strong side player outside the three-point line. If there is a chance, he will take the shot. If there is no chance, he will pass the ball to the weak side basket, and the big man with good athletic ability will attack along the way.

.

This Reject.Lob tactic requires the ability of the 1st position. At the same time, the 23rd position on the outside is best to have a good three-point range. Finally, it also requires the inside players who attack down the line to have high mobility and athletic ability.

, otherwise the entire tactical system will be in vain if it fails to get rid of the opponent in the last moment. It just so happens that the Tang Qian team is currently satisfied with all these factors, and it is extremely satisfying, so when it is used, it is extremely powerful and easy to use.

Is this luck or coincidence? Isn't it a pick-and-roll strategy tailored by Jerry Sloan based on this team?

If that's the case...that's pretty awesome!

Tang Qian is not very familiar with Sloan, so of course he doesn't know. How many coaches are there in the NBA? There are less than 10 in history. And Sloan's wins are the third-best head coach in history, and his career winning rate exceeds

60%, and he is also the longest-serving coach of the same team in the four major American leagues. Although this record is likely to be ended by the Spurs Popovich, he has stayed in one place for so many years, no matter whether he is declining or prospering, he is

Witness, this kind of perseverance and courage is rare in the history of the alliance.

Jackson once said that he and Jerry Sloan do not have any issue of coaching ability, it is just that Sloan has not coached super talented players, and he happens to have. This statement is a bit deliberately modest, but it is undeniable.

There is also a certain degree of authenticity. Salt Lake City is a small team market that has not changed in decades, so it is not particularly attractive to players. You mean Malone and Stockton? Please take a look at their draft picks.

At least before they join the NBA and make a name for themselves, not many experts and scouts are optimistic about them. Moreover, they only achieved results after the age of 30. How long can most people wait?

So Jerry Sloan has never won a championship, but his ability is not bad at all.

Now give him a lot of players with excellent abilities, how could he not take advantage of them? You don't really think that he can only do simple pick-and-rolls, right? There are many types of pick-and-roll tactics. It just so happens that Jerry S.

Long is the master of this tactical system.

The Rockets didn't find any particularly good method throughout the first quarter, and as the number of ball movements increased, the Rockets' turnover rate continued to increase, which made Tang Qian suddenly realize... It turns out that this is the so-called team.

Chemical reactions are weakened by 30%. The simpler the tactical coordination, the smaller the chemical reaction required, but conversely... this is probably the real power of this "weakening effect".

It's just that his team's first two challenges did not force the Rockets to cooperate tactically, and they were simply killed by hand. Therefore, Tang Qian did not realize the power of this "weakening effect". As a championship team,

They are still a team that has won consecutive championships. What is their biggest advantage is that the team's tacit understanding is chemical reaction. This is the basis for them to become an invincible team. The "different space" is not a ruthless one.

During the main time, the Rockets did not open up the score like they did in the previous two challenges. This led to the fact that after entering the substitute time, they were severely beaten by Tracy McGrady's score. However, Olajuwon could only score in one game.

Rest for 4 to 5 minutes, but other Rockets players can't. Look at the playing time of other players during the consecutive championships. Except for Olajuwon, the longest one was Drexler who played 38+ minutes, and the others did not.

You can't stand on the court for a long time and play. Why do you let Chucky Brown, Chris Jent, Scott Brooks, and Carl Herrera guard McGrady at his peak? What else is that if it's not giving away points?

Anyone who averages more than 30+ per game is a super scorer. McGrady averaged 32+ per game that year. It was difficult for Kobe to restrain him one-on-one. You let these "grassroots" defend? That is purely giving away points. Magic 1

No. 1 cut melons and vegetables, and spent 28 minutes on the bench, scoring 31 points! There was no way, these opponents were too weak, and they completely made McGrady feel like no one was around, so naturally, McGrady's scoring efficiency increased sharply.

, it can be called a broken watch.

In a slow-paced game, this is equivalent to the concept of a god-level weapon, which is equivalent to at least 40+ points in future fast-paced games! The game was 98-91, and Tang Qian's team won by 7 points! This is the first time since two challenges

, they won their first victory in the first round!

Tang Qian played 31 minutes in the game and scored 15 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks. However, the best player in the game naturally belonged to the Magic No. 1. His contribution on the bench tonight was very crucial.

It overwhelmed all the Rockets' benches, and several other players also contributed 6 points. Tang Qian's bench score overwhelmingly defeated the Rockets' bench score by 37 to 22, 15 points. Let's look at the Tang Qian team's bench score.

You only won the game by 7 points, so you should know the weight and significance of these 15 points.

Tang Qian is dispensable for this best player. It's not that he doesn't want it. It's just that his first task and requirement now is to win. He must keep winning. Otherwise, it will be the last chance to challenge. If he fails, there will be consequences.

Unthinkable.

After a day of adjustments, the second game began. The Tang Qian team wanted to repeat their old tricks and play a few Reject.Lots again, but unfortunately they were completely blocked by the Rockets. Tomjanovich made a small substitution inside.

Change, Tang Qian or other offensive players attack the basket from the high position down the weak side and are immediately contained. How to do it is to directly switch defense with Hakeem Olajuwon during Otis Thorpe's pursuit.

, This not only takes care of the strong side with the ball, but also effectively defends the weak side without the ball.

Tomjanovich is a consecutive championship-level head coach, and his technical and tactical skills are definitely not too weak.

Suddenly, the Tang Qian team once again fell into offensive trouble. At the end of the second half, they entered the locker room 41-49, 8 points behind. As soon as they entered the door, they heard Jerry Sloan roaring loudly.

: "Idiot! Are you all idiots? You took too many dollars, so you can't think clearly?"

"Is the rigid use of tactics something I gave you?"

"Or am I not teaching you regular tactics at all?"

"The body is very important for young people to play, and the brain is also very important. Otherwise, we might as well let the bodybuilders play ball!"

"But Mr. Sloan, the Rockets switch offense and defense very well, and it's difficult for us to score." Danny Fortson complained.

"Is their defense so good that you can't score points at all?" Jerry Sloan glared at Danny Fortson and said, "If it's not like this, please don't say such things again in the future and play basketball.

Courage and perseverance are very important! People without courage and perseverance are not worthy of playing basketball in the NBA!"

After suppressing the entire field, Jerry Sloan took out the tactical board again and said: "We will use this regular tactic later, high cross double cover! And it's not two people covering it, it's one person!" He paused.

After a pause, he turned around and asked, "Tang, do you have a problem?"

PS: This is the first update, there will be another update today, thank you all for your support, and thank you girls for your support~Thank you~

Jerry Sloan's nickname back then was "The Original Bull", and his No. 4 jersey was also the first jersey retired by the Chicago Bulls, so history is always a little ironic and joking. The old man became a Bull,
