Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 115 I Think So
Del scanned the surrounding area, frowned, and said softly, "Two people pull the bottom line and stand on both sides." As he spoke, Del marked both sides of the reasonable collision zone on the tactical board, and then marked it one meter before the free throw line. After a while, he said: "Stand here alone, responsible for assisting in double-teaming. Then pull here alone." As he spoke, Del began to draw again.

Obviously the positions on both sides of the free throw line, and then Dell marked it on the other side, and said lightly: "That's it. One of these two people is responsible for defending Barkley alone, confronting him, and forcing him to make mistakes."

Is this a joint defense?
Ling Yu frowned, and thought to himself: Isn't this a gamble?If Johnson can't guard or interfere with Barkley and let him go down with the ball, wouldn't the other side be free?Do you want to bet on other people's shooting?

Thinking of this, Ling Yu frowned even more. In the past, the Rockets mainly played inside, using Dameng's personal ability to create damage inside the Lakers, attracting defenses, or making layups and fouls, or passing the ball. Come out, and the Rockets' outside players don't seem to have a bad touch. All 6 mid-range jumpers were hit, including 3 by Barkley and 2 by Glider.Just because these two have mid-range ability, isn't the Lakers looking for death in this position?
"Dell." Ling Yu called softly, and said puzzledly: "What if someone sits and fights in such a position? Double-team or assist defense?"

As soon as the words came out, the others seemed to think of this question, and then they all nodded their heads and looked at Del in confusion.

Del seemed to have expected that they would have such an expression, chuckled, and said slowly: "Let them fight while sitting down, no need to double-team, no need to assist in defense, each defends his own."

"No double-teaming, no help defense?"

Ling Yu's eyes became blank, he looked at Johnson at the side, then at Del, and said softly, "Can he guard Barkley?"

Of course he was referring to Johnson. Needless to say, everyone understands this.

Del smiled slightly and said, "Johnson is young and energetic, so he may not be unable to guard Barkley."

Johnson, who was still dreamy just now, heard Del's words, his face suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly to Del: "I will definitely work hard to defend."

This is the first time playing, the coach's expectation is affirmation, in other words, it is the player's self-confidence.

"Okay." Del waved his hand and said, "Go back, the game is about to start."

"What a tactic."

Ling Yu shook his head helplessly and walked over.

The whistle sounded, the game started, and the Rockets had the ball.

Barkley took the ball from the outside, and the glider came up to respond. He glanced at Dameng on the inside and found that Dameng was being defended by Knight. At this time, the pass would definitely be pulled down by Knight.So the glider paused and dribbled the ball.

"Be careful to close the door."

Campbell walked back and forth in the three-second zone, yelling at his outside teammates from time to time: "Don't let him in."

This time, the Lakers did a good job. The glider just broke through, and Clausey and Horry blocked it with their bodies upright.Unexpectedly, the glider hit a man, and the ball in his hand was also shot off by Horry.

"here."

As soon as Johnson saw that Horry broke the ball, he left Barkley aside and ran forward quickly, not forgetting to turn his head to remind Horry to pass the ball.Needless to say, Horry has experience. Seeing Johnson riding alone in front, he hurriedly passed the ball.

"Boy, here."

Youth is capital, especially in terms of body and physical fitness.

Like a wild horse running wild, Johnson rushed forward, while the pursuers behind him could only look intimidated, sighing helplessly: "Young people are awesome."

One-arm dunk.Johnson ended this offense in this way, and this offense is also the Lakers' first fast break so far.

"This ball is well defended." Ling Yu sighed and said, "It's just that I always feel that something is wrong."

"Never mind him." Eddie yelled lightly: "It's good if you can defend it, and don't care about that much."

Ling Yu suddenly woke up, but he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Forget it, the game is important."

The Rockets attacked, and the ball was handed over to the glider first. With the lessons learned from last time, this time, the glider star was much more cautious. He dribbled the ball carefully and was not in a hurry to attack. His eyes glanced around from time to time, as if he was looking for himself teammates.

"Hey buddy, here it is."

Barkley leaned against Johnson, leaning back slightly, with his right hand raised high.The glider didn't hesitate and handed the ball to Barkley.

Barkley has a mid-range shot, a post-up shot, and a good sense of rebounding. However, he has a fatal problem, that is, he is not tall enough. He is 1 meters tall and plays a big forward. The height gap has also become his shortcoming. .Johnson, who defends him, is 98 meters tall, and his main position is small forward, and occasionally he plays power forward. Therefore, Johnson also has some power forward skills. More importantly, Johnson is taller than Barkley and has a longer wingspan. Longer, coupled with the explosive bounce, Barkley will not have much advantage at that time.

"Dude." Barkley protected the ball, turned around slowly, stared at Johnson, and said with a chuckle, "Why are you so nervous, I'm going to pass you anyway."

Johnson didn't reply, he stared at Barkley seriously and nervously, and leaned towards Barkley.

Words didn't seem to stimulate him, Barkley frowned, hesitated, and slowly dribbled the ball.

Left, right, and then turn around.

This is a common technique used by defenders, but Buckley used it so smoothly. Moreover, his turn also wiped away Johnson, and then he made a step, completely throwing Johnson away. Immediately afterwards, Barkley did not hesitate. Reach forward, want a flick, and hit the ball.

"I can't say it." Ling Yu muttered, and said helplessly, "How could Johnson prevent Barkley?"

Eddie nodded, and said slowly: "The experience is still a bit short."

"It's a lot worse."

Ling Yu replied, frowning, and looked at Del very puzzled, but saw Del's expression was still calm, with a serious face, holding his hands, as if he was waiting for something.

At this time, Barkley had already scored the ball, and the Lakers' offense followed.Hawley took the ball, handed it to Clause, and ran back to help Clause make a screen, but the glider immediately came to defend and faced Clause.

"cover."

Clause frowned, and shouted at Campbell: "Pull up." At the same time, Clause glanced at Johnson, motioning him to run to the basket.Perhaps it was because they had no chance to play together before, and Johnson didn't understand Clause's meaning, but thought he was being asked to catch the ball, so Johnson ran towards Clause.

"Damn it." Clauser frowned slightly, and Johnson, who was running up, waved vigorously, motioning him to go away.

When Johnson saw it, he was stunned for a moment, then ran back instead.

Finally right this time.

Clauser took a deep breath, and was just about to hand the ball to Horry who was coming diagonally, but he couldn't help being stunned when he saw Johnson also running over.

What is this guy up to?
Johnson misunderstood Clause's gesture just now, and mistakenly thought that Clause told him to turn around and run away, throwing off the defender and coming to catch the ball.

So, the ignorant Johnson did what he wanted.

"ball."

Johnson ran, drinking softly at Clauser, and was anxious because the glider had come up on defense.

"Here." Holly also shouted while running, and before reaching out his hands to signal Clause to pass the ball, he could make an emergency stop to end the battle.

The two ran happily, but this was embarrassing for Crowther. On the one hand, Johnson, who was running away from the defender from the three-point line, was on the other hand, and Horry, who was leaning on the glider and running to the left, didn't know what to pass. Who can I give it to.

At this time, there are only 24 seconds left in the 2-second attack time.

Crowse gritted his teeth and said softly, "NND."

After finishing his drink, Clauser took advantage of the situation and shot a long-range jumper from the top of the arc to the three-point line.The focus of the Rockets players fell on Horry and Johnson, and they seemed to be a little less cautious with Clausey, so that when Clauser shot the ball, the Rockets' defensive players hadn't reacted yet.

"Shua!!!" Hollow entered the net.

It seems that he is still a little hesitant to make a shot, but it is better than not daring to make a shot and violating the 24-second rule.

"The shot was a bit reluctant." Eddie said softly: "It was almost 24 seconds."

Ling Yu nodded, but did not speak.Although it was reluctant, but in the end it was scored, which was better than everything else.However, from the attack just now, Ling Yu saw many problems, and if these problems were not resolved, they would be enough to cause the Lakers to collapse instantly.

Ling Yu glanced at Del, his heart sank, he frowned, and stood up solemnly.

"I'll go over there."

"What do you want to say?" Del caught a glimpse of Ling Yu walking towards him with a dark face from a long distance, and before Ling Yu could speak, he spoke first.

"I think we need a timeout." Ling Yu yelled lightly: "That kind of defensive tactics won't work at all, you're playing with fire and setting yourself on fire."

Del sneered, and asked back: "Then what tactics do you think you can use now?"

There is waiting and anticipation in the laughter, but there is also helplessness.

"The current tactics have curbed Olajuwon's scoring to a certain extent, and indeed restricted Barkley, isn't that good?" Del shrugged and said, "This kind of tactics is not good, tell me what tactics are good ?”

Ling Yu frowned tightly, his expression very tangled.

Yes, from the defense of the past few rounds alone, Del's tactics have played a role, but is it really okay to continue like this?
the answer is negative.

Ling Yu's jaw moved, looked at Del seriously, and said, "It's definitely not good to defend like this."

Del's face darkened, and he asked, "Then tell me how to defend?"

Just say it, what are you afraid of.

Ling Yu took a deep breath, stared at Del motionlessly, and said firmly, "I think so."
