NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 108 Inadvertently planting willows and willows

If he knew what Nelson thought, Adelman would be helpless.

Adelman was originally a coach who was good at offensive tactics. After coming to the Kings, he began to learn the Princeton system and did not use too many offensive tactics.

But this year the situation is completely different from before.

The original shadow head coach Pete Carell completely delegated power and completely handed over the coaching rights of the Kings to Adelman. After coaching the Kings for three years, Adelman is extremely familiar with the Princeton system.

Adelman began to add a lot of his own understanding on the basis of the Princeton system, which enriched the team's offensive tactics.

Originally, it was the Jazz that was going to get this whole set of punches.

But what Adelman and the coaching staff of the Kings didn't expect was that the conflict between Lu Yuanzhi and Malone directly injured Malone, making him unable to participate in the subsequent playoffs.

The Kings just pushed past and flattened the Jazz, who had a fluctuating morale. All the tactics they had prepared were useless.

What should I do?
Of course, it is used on the Mavericks.

And not only the few tactics that were exposed, the Kings also had many more tactics that they didn't use.

Adelman also didn't want to buy out a set, because some tactics hadn't been tested in the playoffs, so he didn't know how powerful they were.

Practice games are practice games, and playoffs are playoffs.

The credibility of tactics that have not been tested in the playoffs has dropped several notches.

In this game, after Lu Yuanzhi returned, the Kings received great reinforcements on both ends of the offense and defense. As long as the Mavericks did not have more than two players running amok in the fourth quarter, the game would have been won with a high probability.

If we don’t use it to practice tactics now, then when will we wait?
And now it seems that these tactics are very effective and have achieved good results, and they have also helped the Kings lead the score, so they need to spend more.

As for whether it will expose too much and make the next opponent alert in advance, then don't be afraid.

Each team has a different team composition. Like the scene just now where four people were attacking the basket, it was pretty powerful against the Mavericks, but if you used it against the Lakers, believe it or not, O'Neal wiped out all four of them!
No matter how tall these four people are, if they don't rush forward and stand directly under the basket to confront O'Neal, they are looking for death.

The gap in size and strength is there.

Whoever is tagged by O'Neal will not be able to jump!

At the end of the third quarter, after the Kings continued to hit the basket, the scores of the two teams were gradually opened.

76:83, the Kings lead by 7 points.

Fortunately, there were only more than 2 minutes left in the third quarter, and the Kings failed to continue to open the score in the limited time.

But the bad news is that there are still 3-4 minutes left in the rotation, and the Mavericks will continue to withstand such pressure under the basket at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The worse news is that until the Mavericks figure out how to crack it, the Kings can still use this play until the end of this game, or even until the end of this series.

The Kings' simple and crude tactics of attacking the inside were not in the Mavericks coaching staff's plan at all.

Which team can take out 4 big men of about 210 cm to attack the basket!

How crazy!
Aren't you afraid that your perimeter defense will be leaked?
Oh, the Kings are really not afraid!
Buckner, who mainly defended Turkoglu's shots, had no pressure, and Lu Yuanzhi was even more unfazed against Finley.

It's ridiculous that these two big men can actually have the soulful defensive steps of the little man!
There is no way, the old Nelson can only call a timeout, replace Najera, increase height and inside protection ability, and at the same time ask other players to shrink the basket as much as possible to protect the rebound.

The Kings actually enjoyed the treatment of the Lakers. They were let go from the outside and the entire team shrank.

Inadvertently insert willows and willows!
The Kings saw that a simple tactic of theirs actually achieved results beyond expectations, and they continued to hammer away.

The Mavericks' lineup was extremely tight at the basket. Bobby Jackson, Lu Yuanzhi and Turkoglu took the opportunity to shoot from the outside, and Webber would also pull out to shoot from the high post.

The Kings' outside shooters are much more reliable than the Lakers' CBA outside shooters. With the guarantee of offensive rebounds, everyone is more confident in shooting.

What are you afraid of?Anyway, we can grab offensive rebounds.

Once the shooter has the advantage of offensive rebounds, he will feel less anxious and his shooting percentage will skyrocket.

Lu Yuanzhi, who only had 70 points in connecting three-pointers, shot 36% from three-pointers when no one was marking him. Not to mention the two serious shooters Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu, one shot 41% and the other 45%, the three-point shooting rate is almost catching up with other people's two-point shooting rate.

By the time the Mavericks' main lineup came back, the score had been stretched to 85:96.

It seems certain that the two sides will score more than [-] points in this game.

The Kings' lineup did not change significantly at the last moment, except that Bobby Jackson was replaced by Mike Bibby, who has a stronger three-point shooting ability, which took the Kings' outside three-point shooting ability to a higher level.

The Mavericks saw that they really couldn't crack the Kings' lineup of four big men, so they also asked the players to increase their three-point shooting.

For a while, the two teams rained three-pointers on the outside.

I don't know the proportion of these three-pointers. I thought I was watching the 2022 game, not the 2002 game.

By the end of the game, the Mavericks still could not find a way to break the Kings' unreasonable play style, and finally lost the second game of the series 108:120 on the road.

Lu Yuanzhi played 24 minutes in this game. Although he put the most energy into defending Finley in the first half of the game, he got a lot of shots in the second half.

Because of his matchup with Finley, who scored 23 points in this game, Lu Yuanzhi did not get the matchup reward after the game.

But scoring 18 points in a single game set a new high for his scoring. At the same time, 13 rebounds, including 6 offensive rebounds, also set a new high for his rebounds, and got 2 free attributes.

It's not easy. Lu Yuanzhi sighed in his heart. In such a fierce competition in the playoffs, he was able to get a double-double and get 2 free attributes.

Without hesitation, Lu Yuanzhi invested 2 points of free attribute in the "end of confrontation" according to the previous plan, raising this index to 73 points.

The 1 skill point gained from winning the game was also added to "Enhanced Confrontation", reaching 4 points.

Although the scoring in this game mainly came from outside the three-point line, Lu Yuanzhi has no regrets at all about making this choice.

People without thought, he must worry about!
All the preparations are to get over the hurdle of the Lakers!

After two home games in Sacramento, the two teams will move to the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas for the next game three days later.

Before the third game, the problem of four big men rushing to the inside was placed on the old Nelson's table.

If they can't solve this problem, they will be hammered by the Kings all the way until they are eliminated.

Can old Nelson find his way in 3 days?
