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

Chapter 321 Golden Rooster Independence
The Kings returned to Samville for a night's rest, and then saw the hard-charging Dallasites' selection the next day.

They didn't even receive a private warning from the league and continued to kill sharks at home.

O'Neal came prepared, perhaps through the guidance of a psychological counselor or through coordination within the team. After being sent to the free throw line all the time, he was not as impatient as in the previous game.

Reflecting on the performance on the court, he handed over a satisfactory answer of 65% free throw shooting rate.

With 1.3 points per round, if he were replaced by an ordinary coach, he would probably have stopped the shark-cutting tactics long ago.

But Nelson is worthy of being a mad scientist, and he doesn't mind O'Neal scoring with free throws at all.

In his logic, that's not how the accounts were calculated.

Because the prerequisite for fouling O'Neal is that O'Neal grabbed the position inside and received the pass.

And the Mavericks can find ways to keep O'Neal from catching the ball.

It's not like he fouled O'Neal carelessly.

The purpose of cutting off the shark is just to drive O'Neal out of the entire Lakers offensive system and prevent O'Neal from becoming that terrifying turning point.

And if O'Neal catches the ball, under normal circumstances, either O'Neal will score easily or hit a 2+1, or the Mavericks will miss out on an outside shooter due to double-teaming. In either case, it will be more difficult than letting O'Neal take a free throw directly. Make people accept it.

Therefore, even if the league executives saw that the Mavericks did not listen to the advice and suggested that the referees were more biased towards the Lakers, the Mavericks remained unmoved and continued to go their own way.

Because Nelson knew that they would never be able to defeat the Lakers without solving O'Neal's problem.

Only by cutting down the shark can there be a glimmer of hope for victory.

Amid the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of fans at home, the Mavericks had an extremely high shooting percentage. They actually defeated the Lakers again at home with 103:109, bringing the total score to 2:2!

The truth shocked most people.

But this did not affect the Kings' entire preparation plan. Two days later, they faced the challenge of the Spurs at home.

Although they pulled one back at home, the Spurs, who were standing on the edge of the cliff, did not have much confidence in taking away this victory at the Kings' home court.

In other words, only if this game is won, the Spurs will have the opportunity to chase four games in a row. For example, G4 takes advantage of the home court advantage to equalize the score, and then G6 takes advantage of the Kings' panic to seal the victory.

But the boldest author would not dare to imagine such a plot. Similarly, in the G15 game starting on the 5th, the Kings did not give the Spurs any chance.

As soon as the game started, Lu Yuanzhi took two steps outside the three-point line and hit his signature long-range three-pointer.

And this three-pointer seemed to be a clarion call. Immediately afterwards, Bibby and Stojakovic also began to fire from the outside.

Of course, the Spurs coaching staff are not stupid. The Kings can discover their defensive loopholes, and they themselves can also find the strangeness in them based on the comparison of the first four games.

Facing the pick-and-roll from outside and outside, the Spurs became more active in shooting.

But at this time, Stojakovic and Turkoglu, who came on the bench, showed technical moves they had never seen before.

If any fans after 2010 saw the actions of the two of them, they would shout out four words in surprise-Golden Rooster Independence!
That's right, this set of technical movements for Golden Rooster's independent shooting, after Lu Yuanzhi's reminder, Micah's optimization, and several months of practice by Stojakovic and Turkoglu, can now be used in actual combat on the court.

In fact, the so-called Golden Rooster independent shooting was born out of the fadeaway jumper.

Both types of shots are done by leaning back to provide space for the shooter.The difference is that in a fadeaway jumper, the shooter takes off, turns in the air, uses his strong waist and abdominal strength to stabilize his body, and shoots backwards.

The Golden Rooster Independent chose another offensive method. The attacker used his skillful ball-handling skills and physical advantages to complete a turn and step back while on the ground, and then leaned back and jumped to shoot.

Lifting one leg is the origin of the Golden Rooster's independent name. This leg can indeed prevent defenders from approaching, but the biggest advantage of this set of technical movements is that it does not require such high core strength.

Few European players can do fadeaway jumpers. It's not that they don't know how to learn this technical move, but that their core strength is not as strong as that of black players, and they cannot maintain body stability after turning in the air.

Later, Doncic and Jokic basically used the Golden Rooster's independent variation of shooting methods. The most fundamental reason is here.

Basketball is really amazing. Did Golden Rooster Independence suddenly appear?
of course not!

When we were children, we played on the field and encountered many technical moves nicknamed "back jump shots." Isn't this the prototype of the Golden Rooster's independence?

Even if you think about it a little deeper, one-step shooting is also the shooting action we used most on the field when we were children.

Who has the ability and body to make a standard jump shot!

By the way, there is also the hook shot "trebuchet" from outside the three-point line. Is it more sky hook than sky hook?

So, the end of basketball skills is the field court?
Hahahaha!

The "Golden Rooster Independent" shots suddenly taken out by Stojakovic and Turkoglu made it more difficult for the Spurs to defend.

Originally, European shooters like them had height, weight, wingspan, and skills, but no explosive power. When fighting against local NBA players, it was almost impossible to find shooting opportunities after the confrontation.

But now, the Golden Rooster independently gives them this kind of shooting space.

After Stojakovic and Turkoglu used such tricks, they posed a greater threat than Nowitzki in the future, because the defenders they faced were small forwards and offensive guards, and the height difference Bigger and harder to block.

No one discovered Stojakovic and Turkoglu's new shooting skills, except their opposing defenders.

Even Bowen, Ginobili and Stephen Jackson just felt that today's opponents were more difficult to block shots, and they didn't delve into the reasons at all.

The Kings haven't adopted this new shooting technique on a large scale, either.

Webber and Bobby Jackson have strong core strength. They can make fadeaway jumpers and have no motivation to learn this kind of "lower substitute".

Bibby and Jim Jackson were already better at facing the frame and didn't learn.

As for Lu Yuanzhi, I'm sorry, this guy has no CIC capabilities at all, so how can he be independent?
We can't let him do this from outside the three-point line!

The Kings played smoothly on the outside today, and the game was always under their control.

At the last moment, Duncan and Ginobili teamed up to set off a counterattack wave, but it was quickly extinguished by the Kings' three-point rain.

At 92:105, the Kings won the game and took the lead in entering the Western Conference Finals.

Now, they have a lot of time to observe the Lakers and Mavericks' cards.

The defending champion has taken a favorable position!
　Sorry to keep you all waiting for so long. Let’s start with a chapter. There will be more later.
　　I’ve been so busy today, and I haven’t saved my manuscript yet. I’m so confused!
