Chapter 675 Superstar Treatment
"GOOD JOB! GOOD JOB!" Although the ball was not successfully defended, Sloan was obviously very satisfied with the defense of Deron and Kirilenko, and he gave them a thumbs up from the sidelines.
That's right, this is the preparation of the Jazz. Like the Nuggets, they focused on Ji Feng!
Now that the entire league is playing against the Lakers, they know that defending JK can win, and Ji Feng, as the operation core and offensive strength of the entire Lakers team, undoubtedly occupies a greater proportion of defense in Sloan's heart.
In Sloan's mind, Ji Feng is the main reason why the Lakers can play so well this season, although Sloan has not seen many people like Ji Feng who can contribute his extraordinary influence on both offense and defense in his coaching career for so many years. man.
Especially on the offensive end, Sloan always felt that Ji Feng was underestimated. Everyone was addicted to Ji Feng's fancy and brilliant breakthroughs and precise assists, but Ji Feng's finishing ability was greatly underestimated.
Sloan doesn't know why Ji Feng is not known as a super scorer. He is obviously one of the most terrifying players in rookie history. Abandoning the ancient gods, Sloan swears that he has never seen better than Ji Feng. Rookie, fortunately, many people have forgotten that Ji Feng has only been in the NBA for a year.
Moreover, Ji Feng's big heart is notorious. At the last moment, the lore rate ranked first in the league. The Nuggets who were united in the last round of the series fell into Ji Feng's hands, and the more than 40 points were like The knife, directly swept the Nuggets out of the playoffs.
In addition, he has a variety of offensive methods, strong breakthrough ability, back-up and dry-pulling, and one-handed shooting that makes all defenders terrified. After the famous slashing tactic, Ji Feng never missed a single free throw.
Yes, Sloan felt that it must be Ji Feng's comprehensive coverage that he was a super scorer. All the coaches were so afraid of Ji Feng's passing ability that they didn't dare to double-team him on offense, or get caught. Ji Feng hit a few good shots and the double team was gone.
But through the analysis of Ji Feng's days and nights, Sloan came to an astonishing fact that the threat of Ji Feng's own attack is bigger and more terrifying than his passing. Criticized, many people think that his poor defense made Ji Feng ask for anything.
But Sloan and the coaching staff analyzed for a long time, Anthony has done his best, his attitude is absolutely correct, there is no eye defense, and no defense depends on roar, he is meticulous and serious in defense.
But Ji Feng's many shots are not a problem of defense at all. As long as you open up the space within the three-point line, you can open your hands. After breaking through, you can always pass a wonderful pass, or cause damage yourself, or simply add a center to the luxury. The Yankou package has a success rate of 70% within the three-point line. What a fucking killer this is.
Moreover, defending Ji Feng alone gives Ji Feng too many choices. He has enough time to read the defense, and then pass the ball to tear the defense line like a scalpel. The roles of scorer and assister are thus combined.
so!
Single defense is not feasible!
This is the conclusion drawn by Sloan. It is impossible to limit Ji Feng with single defense, even Kirilenko is the same, not to mention that Kirilenko is already old, and the movement is not as fast as before, even in the peak period , Ji Feng also has a hundred ways to score.
So Sloan made a superstar treatment for Ji Feng, which is 'double team'!
From the ball just now, it can be seen that Ji Feng didn't even dribble the ball twice, so he went up to the double team. He tried his best to block the pass, and if he could pass it out at will, let Ji Feng's four teammates cooperate with him, Ji Feng This must be locked!
Although Kobe scored just now, the Jazz still implemented this defensive strategy. After Deron scored a goal in the pick-and-roll, the Lakers attacked and Ji Feng was targeted again!
This time it was at the top of the arc. When Ji Feng didn't catch the ball, he was pushed far away by the defender who went online. As soon as he received the ball, there was a big delay on the line.
Just when Ji Feng was near the three-point line, Delong rushed over again!
"I'm going, there's no end to it!" Ji Feng rolled his eyes when he saw Delong, who was rushing towards him, and then passed it directly to Walton. If we can't afford it, we can hide, and it'll be good to cooperate again.
But when Ji Feng thinks about catching the ball, it will not be so easy. Kirilenko goes straight ahead and stretches out his long arm. Walton's passing action stops. It is too dangerous to pass the ball, so he has to transfer it to Kobe. Kobe had no choice but to play singles by himself, but Kobe also fell into a double team when he went in. This ball was wrong!
Boozer picked up the basketball and directly distributed the ball to Delong. Delong received the ball for a fast break, and Ji Feng chased back desperately!
"Get down!" Ji Feng angrily hit, and the long-distance attack pressed Delong's layup on the backboard!
Then the two flew out and hit the sponge pad.
Chase the big hat!
"Good shot! But pay attention to the back!" Yang shouted.
Behind him is Boozer!
He picked up the ball and put it into the basket, and the Jazz still fought back!
"FUCK!" Ji Feng slammed the sponge pad under the backboard, without the pleasure of sealing the ball at all, the ball was considered a blank cover.
8-4, the Jazz took the lead on the road.
"Ji Feng was targeted. This is the most determined time I've ever seen to double-team Ji Feng. He didn't give Ji Feng a chance to attack at all, he just forced you to pass the ball. According to Ji Feng's character, his playing is reasonable at first. The kind of ball will never come hard, it will definitely pass out, and when you want to catch the ball again, Kirilenko will hang on you, and the Jazz's purpose will be achieved." Yang pair analyzed these two rounds just now.
At the same time, he also sighed that Sloan is indeed a famous coach of a generation. In addition to tactics, his research on opponents' hearts and habits is also first-class. This is why good coaches can better reflect their role in the playoffs. It is also the reason why many stars have reached the playoffs For the reason of stealth.
In terms of ability, the NBA is really not bragging.
Now that the pressure is on the Zen master's side, it depends on how the Zen master responds.
However, the game continued, Ji Feng was still taken care of in every possible way, the Lakers also shifted the focus of their offense to Kobe, and Walton mainly started to organize the ball.
But when Walton and Ji Feng competed, most of them were taking on the role of holding the ball over half court. There were no good passes. Only Kobe Bryant played in singles, but Kobe felt good, and the inside double tower Competitive, not behind the score for a while.
The Jazz is still a pick-and-roll hit, Boozer's half-basket is as accurate as ever, and Okur and Bynum exploded inside and out.
At the end of the single quarter, the two sides still played 29-29!
But Barkley was uncomfortable. In the first quarter, Ji Feng only scored 2 points and 4 assists. He scored very few points, and the scene was restricted. This made him worry about his gambling. Is he really a cancer in the gambling industry? !
"It's a double team! Look, because Ji Feng is not strong on the outside, it will make him very uncomfortable!" Ma Long laughed happily. With 2 points in a single quarter, it's so cool that he can't play double in four quarters!
