Chapter 144 Jordan's Law, The Strongest Offense! (big chapter)
"The ball fell into the hands of the alien Cassel. Who will the Bucks attack first? He Li?"

"The whole court is pressing, and Jamal Tinsley's defensive intensity against Sam Cassell is very strong!"

"Don't look at Jamal Tinsley as a first-year rookie.

You must know that Jamal Tinsley is a grassroots star who was born on the street and has long been famous!
Jamal Tinsley can be selected in the first round, which proves that Jamal Tinsley's strength and potential cannot be underestimated. "

"That's right, Jamal Tinsley is not only a star from streetball, but also the first point guard to get a triple-double with 20+ assists."

"If I remember correctly, Jamal Tinsley scored 19 points, 23 assists and 11 rebounds for the first time under the nose of Michael Jordan, right?"

Jamal Tinsley is a very good rookie this season, and he also cooperated with He Li in the previous Rookie Challenge.

However, a streetball-born point guard like Jamal Tinsley will inevitably have to accept the transformation of professional basketball like Alstom.

When Jamal Tinsley first entered the NBA, he was not soft on Jordan and scored an unprecedented triple-double of 20+ assists.

But not long after that, the spirituality faded away, hit the rookie wall instead, and was gone forever.

According to the coach's instructions, playing according to the script will definitely cause harm to some players who like to play tricks, let alone street players like Jamal Tinsley.

Of course, Jamal Tinsley drives high and low, mainly because of his obvious shortcomings in offensive skills, he can only break through but not shoot, and his body is not strong enough.

Even so, as a first-year rookie, Jamal Tinsley has secured the position of the Pacers' starting point guard, which can also show that Jamal Tinsley does have two brushes.

Jamal Tinsley's defense is not strong, but he is agile and has good stealing ability.

Now that Kassel is given defensive strength as soon as he comes up, this makes Kassel, who has been battle-tested, almost make a dribble error.

Fortunately, Big Dog was on the sidelines. Seeing this, Cassel passed the ball to Big Dog by hitting the ground. Big Dog faced Artest's defense and quickly passed the ball to Kassel.

Cassell was wary of Jamal Tinsley, and he held the ball firmly.

"In the first possession, the Pacers defended well against the Bucks.

The Bucks' fast break didn't start.

And playing positional warfare is exactly what the Pacers are good at. "

"That's right, the Pacers' tight defensive attitude is obvious. This game will be a fierce battle without any accidents."

The Bucks are better at offense, and the Pacers are better at defense.

From the beginning, the Pacers pressed the whole court to slow down the fast-breaking Bucks and force the Bucks to play positional warfare. It can be said that this initial effort was quite successful.

It is naturally more difficult to win in a field that you are not familiar with.

Cassel dribbled the ball halfway and observed the situation on the field.

Cassell pretended to look at Ray Allen, who was running to the left corner, and wanted to pass the ball, but in fact, after Ray Allen took away Reggie Miller, he handed the ball to the big dog.

The big dog didn't stick the ball, and didn't make a shot. Instead, he lobbed the ball into the inside line, and the ball quickly fell into He Li's hands.

Seeing this, O'Neal immediately pushed forward, forcing He Li to stay away from the basket.

Facing Jermaine O'Neal's defense, He Li immediately used his back to attack Jermaine O'Neal alone.

Unexpectedly, the rest of the Pacers immediately acted and double-teamed He Li.

"Jordan's Law?"

"Yes, it's Jordan's Law!"

"Two years ago, Larry Bird stepped down as head coach of the Pacers.

Then Isiah Thomas was specially hired to coach the Pacers.

The purpose is to defend Shaquille O'Neal in a targeted manner and help the team win the championship.

It's a pity that the Pacers have been struggling to break out of the East in the past two years.

The Jordan rules that Isiah Thomas carefully prepared for Shaquille O'Neal have never been used.

He Li is really unlucky today. Even though he is only a rookie, he encountered this level of defense. "

The defensive strength of the regular season is completely different from the defensive strength of the playoffs, and the defensive strength of double-teams and double-teams is also completely different.

The Jordan rule is not an ordinary three-guarantee one, but a targeted three-guarantee one, which is a defensive tactic for super giants and the strongest defensive strength level.

And to be able to use Jordan's rules well depends on the coach's experience and player configuration.

The current Pacers just fit these two points, so He Li will be in trouble next time.

Jordan's law is to practice defensive tactics that can limit Jordan's shooting percentage, and He Li does not yet have Jordan's strength.

"Good job! Just use this shot, let you remember who is the natural enemy you can't beat!"

He Li saw O'Neal and Artest double-teaming him back and forth. He didn't notice that the Pacers used Jordan's law to target him at first. He Li thought it was just a normal double-team!
So at this time, He Li was not afraid at all, but wanted to go up to the men and show them some strength.

"Half-turned the skyhook! He Li didn't wait until Jamal Tinsley was encircled to find the shooting space, and the skyhook shot!"

"Go in! It's beautiful! This is a giant planet, this is the ball that only superstars dare to hit, and only superstars can score!"

"I have to say, the timing of this shot is too ingenious!

After the Pacers played Jordan's law, the defensive intensity was very strong.

Before He Li shot, I thought He Li was looking for his teammates to pass the ball.

Unexpectedly, He Li still confidently chose to make a move.

What was even more unexpected was that He Li was able to score this goal!It's incredible! "

"Everyone knows that He Li is very good, but judging from this goal, He Li is better than we thought!"

You must know that this ball was coach Chuck Daly's personal disciple-Isiah Thomas, who personally coached the team and was forced to throw it under Jordan's rules.

But He Li, as if strolling in the garden, easily scored the ball with a skyhook!

Is it really that easy?
Of course it can't be that easy!

The difficulty for He Lineng to score this goal is far more difficult than a three-person double-team and a forced shot.

The Jordan Law can be said to be the strongest defense!As for the Skyhook, it can also be said to be the strongest attack.

He Li's goal was not simply a skyhook to break the double-team, but to use the strongest offense to defeat the strongest defense.

"This, is this He Li's true strength? He Li's ball is too tough!" George Karl on the sidelines watched with tears in his eyes.

George Karl has obviously coached Rainman Kemp and Glove Payton, a star with super strength in his peak period, but seeing He Li now, he is still very excited and shocked.

In George Karl's view, both Kemp and Payton have shortcomings on the offensive end, and He Li's offensive end is unsolvable.

Payton's offensive ability is at most an All-Star level, and Kemp relies too much on physical fitness.

It is true that Kemp blasted Rodman in the 96 finals, which can be said to be the only point that the Bulls cannot solve, but the Bulls don't need to sacrifice Jordan's law to Kemp.

And He Li, even if targeted by the most authentic Jordan rules, can still maintain a certain shooting percentage with the help of magical skills such as sky hooks.

It is said that He Licai made a shot, but with George Karl's eyes, how could he not see that the Pacers' Jordan rules did not have much impact on He Li.

Then, it seems that only touch and physical strength can affect He Li's shooting.

"Slippery, it seems that Isiah has inherited Chuck's coaching wisdom."

How could George Karl fail to see that Isiah Thomas not only used the Jordan Law to reduce He Li's shooting rate, but also limited the number of He Li's shots and accelerated the consumption of He Li's physical strength.

Perhaps in this game alone, the Pacers adopted Jordan's law of defense against He Li, which did not have a great impact on He Li.

But if it comes to the playoffs, it will inevitably produce some of the effects it should have.

And now there is still some time before the playoffs.

Now that He Li's personal ability has the effect of breaking through Jordan's rules, then other Eastern teams must pay more attention to He Li.

Superstars are unstoppable, but superstars can be consumed.

There is no doubt that this is the most reasonable saying in the NBA, and it is also a common defensive method in the playoffs.

If the Bucks' opponents in the playoffs meet the Bucks, they will apply the Jordan Law to He Li.

So once the Bucks fall into the quagmire of the playoffs, He Li will gradually be exhausted and gradually lose his original strength.

The Bucks may also be taken advantage of by other teams because of this, and they will be defeated by a certain team before entering the finals.

Therefore, Isiah Thomas' imposing the Jordan Law on He Li this time is both a conspiracy and an overt conspiracy.

If He Li is restricted miserably by the Jordan Law, then other teams will inevitably use the Jordan Law to restrict He Li.

But if He Li can ignore the restrictions of Jordan's law, then other teams will have to use Jordan's law to consume He Li.

Everyone wanted to bet who would be the lucky one, who happened to meet the day when He Li's physical strength was exhausted.If they met, He Li would really become a softie who could be ignored.

In the playoffs, in the finals, the core of the team becomes soft, then this is a very scary thing.

For the opponent, it is the happiest thing to see.

Isiah Thomas deserves to be a "bad boy". It was really bad enough to impose Jordan's law on He Li at the beginning of this game.

"Come on!" Now it is far from the time to call a timeout, George Karl can only cheer for him off the court.

He Li did not disappoint George Karl.

On the first attack of the Pacers, Reggie Miller passed the ball to O'Neal, hoping that O'Neal would hit He Li and return the favor.

He Li's offensive ability is unsolvable, but Jermaine O'Neal is not bad.

In this era of power forward prosperity, although Jermaine O'Neal is not one of the four power forwards, he is better than him. It can be said that he is the fifth man of fantasy among the four power forwards.

Like Duncan and Garnett, Jermaine O'Neal is a power forward who integrates offense and defense, and is the core of the team's offense and defense.

Closer to home, although Jermaine O'Neal's strength has not yet reached its peak, it has begun to enter the peak period. Jermaine O'Neal's body and skills are almost mature.

Unlike those rough guys who rely solely on their bodies, O'Neal is also very skilled.

"Punch back, turn around, and hook! Jermaine O'Neal used similar moves to attack He Li. This response is quite tough!"

"He Li took off and blocked the shot. Can he block it? It's a little bit close. The two have similar wingspans, but Jermaine O'Neal has the advantage in height!"

Jermaine O'Neal hit He Li on the back and then made a hook shot. This set of moves still looks very pleasing to the eye.

But the problem is that after confronting He Li, Jermaine O'Neal's ball went out of the frame and did not score.

"It's unbelievable that He Li actually defended the shot. He Li defeated Jermaine O'Neal with no help from the Bucks!"

Jermaine O'Neal is not yet the leader of the Pacers, and although He Li is already the leader of the Bucks, this news has not been announced to the outside world.

Both of them play in the same position, so it's normal to compare them together at this time.

Judging from the offense and defense in the first round, just like the previous few matches, He Li still won.

It's just that this time He Li encountered Jordan's rules and could still beat O'Neal, which made him even stronger.

"Again, Brad Miller gets an offensive rebound and misses a layup."

Brad Miller's offensive ability is not strong. Under Joel's defense, he failed to make a second offense.

That's pretty depressing for the Pacers.

Seeing this, the Bucks immediately rushed forward to grab the rebound.

"The Big Dog grabbed the rebound and made a fast break. The Bucks' fast break finally started!"

"Ray Allen caught the ball from outside the three-point line and made a fast break dunk!"

Ray Allen finally made a dunk, and He Li also stepped forward to celebrate after Ray Allen high-fived the dog.

However, at this time, Jermaine O'Neal served a long pass from the baseline, and the Pacers played a fast break unexpectedly.

However, Reggie Miller catches the ball and chases for a three-pointer. His shooting posture is very beautiful, but his touch is very average.

Only a sound from Duang was heard, and the Pacers started a triple iron.

Cassel returned to the defense and just rushed to the free throw line and picked up a rebound head-on.

Immediately afterwards, Cassel passed the ball to the Big Dog, and the Big Dog responded with a three-pointer. Because it was open, the ball was hit.

"The Bucks are all soldiers. The Pacers can't defend, and they can't attack. This is in trouble!"

"The Pacers are a little anxious today. With a strong team like the Bucks, we should try our best to keep pace and reduce mistakes."

Not only the commentary, but the audience can also see that the Pacers played a little impatiently as a whole. Maybe they want to prove something in front of the Bucks too much, or they want to win the game too much.

Although the Pacers are a playoff team, they are a marginal team in the playoffs. The Pacers are still hovering between 7th and 9th in the Eastern Conference until now.

For the Pacers, there are not many games. If one is not done well, they may not be able to make the playoffs this year.

You know, time is running out for Reggie Miller.

Therefore, all the Pacers want to win this game, but this game is facing the No. [-] Bucks in the East.

The Pacers will still lose to the Bucks under the condition of using Jordan's rules, so there is a high possibility that there will be a round trip in the next playoffs.

Even, the Pacers' opponent in the first round of the playoffs may be the Bucks.

In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, the Pacers should try their best to win the game.

But many times, the more you want to win, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

Isiah Thomas saw that the players were not in the right state, so he called a timeout in the first minute.

"When He Li received the ball from the wing, Jamal, Reggie, and Ron, the two closest to him among the three of you, had to step forward to double-team the first time, so that he couldn't get the ball out."

"Don't worry, the Skyhook is not unsolvable, at most it just has a higher hit rate.

It is impossible for He Li to fight like this every time!
Victory is ours! "

"We need to run faster when defending, and we can slow down when attacking, and we are not in a hurry."

Isiah Thomas held the tactical board and spoke very seriously. The Pacers players surrounded Isiah Thomas and listened patiently.

Obviously, the Bucks started 7-0 and did not break their fighting spirit.

Because of them, want to win.

Just like when the Pacers faced Jordan and O'Neal before, it is impossible to admit defeat, no matter how strong the opponent is, it is impossible to admit defeat!
The Pacers can be beaten, but not crushed.Even if you know you're going to lose, you still have to fight proudly.
