Nash felt like he "beeped a dog."
I didn't expect that the other party would suddenly come out like this.
After a season of hard work and careful "education" by the old gangster, Bowen is much better than he was at this time. Although he has not yet reached his peak, he has a strength that is relatively close to it. Especially his "greasy defense method" will be very uncomfortable for people who face it for the first time.
It's not that Nash can't do it now, it's just that this game was suddenly faced and he was blinded before he could adapt to it.
Just like Atie's "eye-shielding technique", people who meet him for the first time are easily caught off guard and perform abnormally.
But time is needed to adjust. How can the Bulls give them time to adjust now?
The old hooligan grabbed the ball and prepared to go forward, continuing to widen the score difference.
He counterattacked in one fell swoop, leaving the little broken ship unable to chase points.
The Clippers didn't expect Nash to be stopped in this game, so the Clippers players who are used to Nash's assignments would easily fall into a situation where... they don't know how to play.
This kind of situation is actually quite normal for the "engine team".
Such as Stockton, such as Nash, such as the future Chris Paul, and even such as James, the same is true.
If their team's "main engine" is restricted, the entire team's combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
This is also the subjective factor why Steve Nash always fails to take a breath when leading the team in the Western Conference.
Zheng Tie was suppressed by Jordan's Law. Nash, the original breaking point, was unexpectedly restricted. The coaching staff of the small team was suddenly in trouble. When it comes to the finals level, no matter how good your play style and tactics are, you need people to complete them.
Otherwise, no matter how subtle it is, it will be of no use.
Without Nash, the other points cannot be opened, so the opponent can also suppress Zheng Tie in the fourth quarter.
This is also the power of "Jordan's Law".
There are two basic versions of how to use it. The first one is to suppress "Jordan" in the first three quarters and let go of his teammates, and finally let go of Jordan and suppress his teammates. The second is to let go of "Jordan" in the first three quarters and suppress his teammates, and finally suppress Jordan and let go of his teammates.
In fact, it all means the same thing.
In the first three quarters, you have few opportunities to take action, so your touch will naturally be gone.
It's that simple.
The core condition is here, rather than talking about who to let go, there is a big gap, Jordan is so good at critical moments.
That's it now. Phil Jackson saw that the time had come, and with a wave of his hand, it was time to start closing the net.
Just after the fourth quarter, Zheng Tie chased a wave with his unsolved singles. Seeing that his hand was about to come up, it suddenly seemed that it was over again. The Bulls suddenly announced their contraction and suppressed Zheng Tie forcefully.
Because there is no Nash to play the ball, after Zheng Tie is suppressed at this time, the first thing is not to talk about whether he can make the shot or whether he has the touch.
It's a matter of whether you can pass the ball and get it to the open player.
The Bulls' defensive understanding is no joke. It's impossible to pass the ball easily.
If you pass the ball casually, the chance of being destroyed is extremely high.
They were the team that knew best how to play in the finals throughout the 1990s.
none of them.
They know every referee's style of officiating in the finals.
With 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score was 74-81.
One minute later, the Clippers called timeout again because the score difference had reached 10 points.
74-84.
In this minute, the little team did not get even a point.
This kind of momentum is very scary. If it is not done well, it will lead to hemorrhage.
This problem of passing and receiving must be solved, otherwise the outside line cannot be opened, and Zheng Tie inside will be double-teamed, creating an increasingly vicious cycle.
But now Nash is not in good condition and there is no one available as a commando.
The rest of the players with ball-playing potential were unable to perform against the Bulls in the Finals.
"The situation is not very good. The Clippers must solve the passing problem now, otherwise they will only be separated and stop the ball and play in isolation." Zhang Weiping said worriedly, but immediately Director Sun was not willing to be lonely. , added one sentence——
"Although the situation is not good, I still think the ball should be given to Xiao Zheng. There is a famous saying in the basketball world. At the most critical time, you must ensure that the basketball is in the hands of the best player. Now the best player of the Clippers is Zheng Tie , right, Director Zhang."
Zhang Weiping almost lost his temper when he saw Sun Zhenping looking "asking for praise".
Yes, there is such a famous saying in the basketball world, but you must choose based on the situation.
Now the Bulls are using "Zheng Tie's Law" to deal with small players. The most important thing at this time is to find someone to help pass the ball and connect the whole team. Instead of being weak in giving the ball away, Zheng Tie mainly serves as the end point.
There is definitely nothing wrong with Zhang Weiping's idea.
This is from the perspective of professional basketball analysis, and this is indeed the case for the Clippers right now.
If no one can stand up and help Zheng Tie, the situation will be terrible.
As for Zheng Tie to handle it by himself and revitalize the team, let alone Pitino, the entire Clippers team has not thought about it that way.
As I said before, this kind of team that lacks foundation and experience in the finals is fine when the ball is going downwind, but once it hits the ball against the wind, all kinds of problems will immediately appear. All the previous bravery will disappear.
When Zheng Tie saw this, he slowly let out a breath.
Sure enough, the real Bulls in the finals were quite powerful. In the first game, they just took a wrong approach and took a big risk to succeed.
It should not be used by conventional means.
There are four games to win in the series. If you want to win the final victory, you still have to have the most direct confrontation with the Bulls.
Do it with real swords and guns.
Thinking of this, Zheng Tie finally took out the mine that had been laid in advance.
He knew that his information gap and attack methods were no longer effective, and the other party already knew about it. After all, they have played for several seasons, and this is not the first time they have played against each other.
Therefore, during the season settlement last offseason, the moment Zheng Tie got the third skill copy card, he thought of what to do.
Yes, he had actually used this third skill copy card long ago.
Didn't stay at all.
And this is also one of his last trump cards...
When the difference in frontal strength was already obvious, Zheng Tie decided not to hold back anymore. Now was the critical moment to turn the game around.
While the coaching staff was still arguing over there, Zheng Tie had already stood up, tossed the towel, and said:
"'Hold it' and fight."
"Just give me the ball."
After Zheng Tie said this, everyone, including Pitino, including the coaching staff, looked at him.
According to the oral accounts of later generations who sat in the first row——
At this moment, Zheng Tie stood up, as if Jesus had descended, and shouted:
Give me this damn basketball!
I will help you win!
Although this seems to be a typical American oral narration, it does not prevent this paragraph from being praised by countless people and is widely praised by everyone.
