269. Jagged Legion! (6K)(2/2)
In this alone, Zhang Hao is indeed a little worse than Alan Houston. Zhang Hao is not as good as Alan Houston's basic shooting skills.
Quickly made adjustments to both offense and defense and adjustments to defensively, Fisher, Zhang Hao, Doug Christie, Barkley and O'Neal were replaced.
The Knicks also made a lineup adjustment, with the combination of John Starks, Alan Houston, John Wallace, Larry Johnson and Ewing being replaced.
After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Zhang Hao. When Larry Johnson saw Zhang Hao directly receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, he was also a headache and immediately pressed it up to prevent Zhang Hao from taking advantage of the huge height gap.
Zhang Hao did not make a shot, pulled the aunt out and hung the ball to O'Neal again.
When O'Neal received the ball, the rookie John Wallace immediately retracted and attacked in the middle. Although he was a rookie, John Wallace was 23 years old, with a strong defense and a solid open shot. He was a very good combat power among this rookie. He grasped the timing of this double attack very well. Once again, he would risk making mistakes when he let O'Neal do back action.
O'Neal has become accustomed to turning right on the bottom line in the past few rounds, relying on his thick body to force out the position, and the right side of the three-second zone!
When Barkley received the ball, he was immediately made up by John Starks. There was no force hit. Barkley chose to pass the ball and pulled Doug Christie to the 45-degree angle on the right to catch the ball and make a three-pointer... but no goal!
The previous confrontation in the game time period had a significant impact on Doug Christie's catch and shoot.
O'Neal failed to grab the offensive rebound and immediately retreated.
Knicks offense.
Originally, the Knicks thought that the Lakers replaced Fisher, a rookie, to defend Alan Houston.
For the Lakers, even a fringe rookie like Fisher, the Knicks have the patience to study it and know that Fisher is a player who plays hard and defends actively and steadily.
But the Lakers' defense has changed a lot!
No more use of the defensive methods of the past 5 games, Zhang Hao defended to the outside again, O'Neal returned to the basket and protected the frame alone!
Alan Houston pulled to the top arc and received the ball. Facing Zhang Hao's defense, he carefully protected the ball. Larry Johnson tacitly came to the right side of the three-second zone and leaned against Barkley to ask for the ball.
O'Neal immediately retracted and shot, and Larry Johnson passed the ball to Ewing. As soon as Ewing received the ball, Doug Christie made up the ball and was very conscious.
Ewing raised the ball and had the possibility of being cut off. The left hand he received the ball did not change the ball to his right hand. He shook his hand and passed the ball to the close range of the bottom line. John Wallace cut into the close range on the left side of the three-second zone, receiving the ball and throwing the ball... O'Neal quickly turned around and made up the place. John Wallace was so scared that when the ball was about to throw it, he pulled it back unconsciously, and raised the pitching arc to avoid O'Neal's block...but it was iron!
Barkley turned around and stuck Larry Johnson, and O'Neal accepted the defensive rebound!
The ball was distributed to Fisher, but O'Neal did not speed up and ran slowly towards the frontcourt. The Knicks retreated faster than before.
Seeing that O'Neal had two power forwards around him and had to be so tired, Del Harris on the sidelines could only sigh in a muffled sigh.
Fortunately, O'Neal has this ability, and he can do it... But isn't the superstar just used to solve problems when there is no way?
After Zhang Hao came to the front court, he leaned against Larry Johnson to catch the ball again on the left side of the top arc.
Without hanging it for O'Neal, Zhang Hao grabbed the ball with his right hand and stretched it backwards, tilting the left arm that was pressed against Larry Johnson, making a "9" gesture.
Van Gundy on the sidelines quickly flipped through the small notebook. What is the No. 9 tactic? There is this kind of tactic using numbers or "ok" in the Lakers' tactical gestures?
Del Harris on the other side didn't know what tactics it was. Not to mention the coaches of the two teams, the Lakers players on the court didn't know what this meant.
But the Lakers players just pulled it apart. Zhang Hao did not give the ball to O'Neal or Barkley, but stood still, so he would definitely play singles.
Larry Johnson was very alert when he noticed that the Lakers players began to move after seeing Zhang Hao's gesture.
Seeing that his teammates began to move, Zhang Hao turned around to face Larry Johnson and started dribbling.
It is difficult to push away Larry Johnson, a strange man, Zhang Hao chose to use cross steps!
It went very smoothly. Zhang Hao pulled over and stopped suddenly and then pulled over and easily broke through Larry Johnson.
Larry Johnson knew that it was difficult for him to defend Zhang Hao's breakthrough, but his defense was also targeted, not allowing Zhang Hao to go to the middle and force Zhang Hao to go off the line.
John Wallace brought in and shot. When Zhang Hao broke through to the free throw line, he suddenly grabbed the ball, but it was not the usual type of grab, but he held the ball up.
This made both John Wallace and Larry Johnson, who were taken back, feel a sudden heart! They still remembered Zhang Hao's gesture just now.
However, Zhang Hao held up the ball, stopped urgently, raised it, and made a mid-range shot from the free throw line...
The hesitant moment made John Wallace and Larry Johnson not stick it on when they were already at the pinch position. Zhang Hao took off smoothly, made a complete and smooth action, and made a quick stop and jump shot!
After seeing Zhang Hao make a shot, he immediately retreated. The players on the Lakers did not move unexpectedly. They just pulled away and waited for Zhang Hao to pass the ball. Larry Johnson and John Wallace realized they were cheated!
There is no No. 9 tactic? Zhang Hao just wants to play singles.
