Chapter 385 Developing New Tactics

Trailing by 18 points?

This is an egg!

Motta was helpless. Even though the Bulls also rotated their main players in the third quarter, they still played against themselves. They led by 14 points in a single quarter. However, Li Shengli had already committed 4 fouls in the fourth quarter. According to the two best actors of the Bulls, Urine, it doesn't seem that difficult to commit two fouls.

The number of fouls committed by Li Shengli has not been a problem all along, except for the weakness of the bench, which is also a factor that led to his excessive playing time. In the third quarter, the Mavericks who dropped Li Shengli immediately collapsed and could not hold back.

It's so difficult to make a comeback in the fourth quarter. It's so difficult that you might as well buy a lottery ticket!

…

"Kidd, Curry, Lorenzo, Jones, you are ready to play! Lee, you are still the main attacker!"

"On the offensive end, if Lee can't open up the situation, Jones, you have to run more. When the ball comes out, you have to provide pick-and-roll coverage for your teammates on the outside. As for the defensive end... my only requirement for you is to defend well. The situation is very clear. Yes, Jordan will play in the fourth quarter. If he maintains his previous efficiency, there will be no need to play this game and it will enter garbage time early!"

What Motta replaced was actually the starting lineup at the beginning, but in this case, there was no hope of a comeback without major changes. As he said... the Mavericks entered garbage time early.

I think back when Li Shengli played in the Western Conference Finals with the Jazz and the SuperSonics, SuperSonics head coach George Karl's tactical arrangements were really unconventional. With a three-guard lineup and five lineups, even if he lost to the Jazz, it was enough to prove his coaching level. , but in the end... Jerry Sloan's tactics were more outrageous than his.

In comparison, Motta is really quite unimaginative.

"Let Crotty come on, otherwise Jordan alone can turn this game off!" Li Shengli frowned and said, "Crotty comes on the line. This is the best defensive state for us to play against them, and we should be worried now. It's about attacking..."

"Offense? Your point has been restricted. Who do you expect to attack? If you don't attack, who will? I have arranged Curry to be the second offensive point, just do as I say!" Time is running out! , Mota didn’t feel overstepped.

"No, I can do more than you think!"

"What do you want to do? You've committed a crime. If you don't pay attention, there will be nothing. What else can you do?"

"The chance of a comeback is very small, so you should take a gamble."

"How to bet?"

"Give me Kidd, Curry, Crotty, and Tony, and I'll bet on you!"

Tony Dumars is a backup guard. He was a marginal player for the Mavericks last season. This season, because Key, Curry, and Krypton have filled up the backcourt rotation, he is even more marginal than before, but the Mavericks have no shortage of water dispensers. Players, he is only responsible for handing out towels to everyone.

Tony was very excited when he heard Li Shengli speak, but Mota was stunned...

Four...four at the back?

What the hell is this?

This complete lineup is a mess. Let’s not talk about offense. Defense is a problem. However, Motta didn’t say much and still made substitutions according to Li Shengli’s request, because he is not without brains... This matter is nothing more than two things. If this result is amazing, everyone will be happy; if it collapses directly, he will have enough excuses to tame Li Shengli and tell him that he has been coaching for many years and has eaten more salt than you eat rice.

…

Did the Mavericks make a substitution?

Not to mention the Bulls, even the fans at the scene were stunned. Li Shengli's appearance with four guards was like a parent-child event, which was simply incomprehensible.

"Boss, tell me, how are we going to fight? What are our tactics?" Tony raised his arms, excited even in the garbage time, because he was the comeback general appointed by Boss Li, which proved that he still had status in the Mavericks.

"Yeah, our defense will be killed by the Bulls. Are you trying to hurt us on purpose?" Curry rolled his eyes.

"Stop talking and work hard, Lee, how to fight, what are the tactics?" Kidd's desire to win is high.

Tactics?

We have a shitty tactic!

Li Shengli panicked and glanced around his teammates who were waiting for his reply. It seemed that he couldn't handle it without saying anything.

"X***T!"

"What?" The four of them were stunned for a moment.

"X***T tactic!" Li Shengli repeated, "You don't need to know what it means. I will reduce my shots and focus on rebounding. The four of you will let go of your shots. Whoever has a chance will go up. As for the cooperation on the outside, It's up to you.

Remember... I'll be your base in the post, and any rebounds you get are mine. If the post helps defend outside, Kidd, pass it to me. In addition, increase the speed of transition between offense and defense. The defense can be weak, but the offense must be strong! "

X***T tactics?

What an awesome look!

The four brothers couldn't think of the abbreviation of which four words it was, but Li Shengli said a few simple sentences and could still understand it. To put it bluntly, he used rebounds to protect the offense and speed to set the rhythm.

…

"You...what are you doing?" Pippen's eyes widened, as if he was surprised, "Even if it's garbage time, you can't give up on yourself. Oh, God, Lee, you let me down so much!"

"Get lost, we'll beat you up in a minute, you bastard!" Li Shengli opened his mouth with a curse to mock Pippen.

As they were talking, the Bulls made their first attack in the final quarter, and it was Jordan who was high up at the top of the arc. However, Jordan fell back and Crotty was blinded. The goal failed to be scored and the ball crashed into the left corner.

"Hit them, beat them to death!"

Li Shengli roared, Kidd led the team to rush into the frontcourt, and the Bulls immediately went crazy, especially Pippen in the left corner who was about to grab a rebound...

Oh my god!

Are you trying to kill me?

Seeing Li Shengli rushing over like a heavy-duty truck, Pippen was stunned. The rebound was grabbed by Li Shengli with a tiger pounce, and he threw a long pass to the frontcourt. Kidd, a point guard who knows how to pass, can also catch the ball. .

So, the Mavericks drove all the way, and four people beat the two Bulls defensemen. Curry made a three-step layup too easily and scored directly.

…

What's going on?

The Mavericks obviously sped up, and the Bulls were caught off guard, but the 16-point lead left was enough to calm them down. When they attacked again, Jordan passed to Pippen in the corner.

"Curry, guard him!" Li Shengli yelled in the penalty area.

"Damn it, you think I'm two meters tall on a horse!" Even if Curry took the time to complain, he was still as blind as Crotty.

Boom!

Pippen strikes!

Wennington and Grant teamed up to hit the backboard, but Li Shengli didn't let the ball go too far. The ball jumped when it reached the basket, and was caught after hitting the iron. They also threw it wildly forward, "Come on, do it again. !”

"Return to defense, return to defense, quickly return to defense!"

"The bastards are at it again."

"Shit, no, these bastards are running too fast."

…

It’s not that the Bulls didn’t work hard to defend, Grant and Wennington definitely couldn’t defend in time. On the other side, due to the positioning problem of the triangle offense, Pippen fell in the bottom corner, BJ fell behind in the bottom corner on the other side, and only the top of the arc was Jordan was able to do it in time, but Jordan felt miserable... I was right to defend for one team, but I couldn't do it even if God came!

So Jordan was 'persecuted' by the Mavericks. The ball was passed from Kidd to Crotty. Jordan ran with the ball, and Crotty passed the ball back to Kidd, who scored a layup.

Chasing 4 points at the beginning, in the third round, the Bulls finally scored. BJ Yan and Kidd hit a long-range 2 points, while Jordan and others breathed a sigh of relief, because at least they didn't have to guard against the Mavericks' fast break. , that desperate run is not something Jordan, who is in declining physical condition, can participate in.

However... the Bulls' nightmare is not over.

The Mavericks didn't have a fast break, but they still had an amazing shooting rate. Li Shengli's positioning was a signal. He hit the penalty area, and the four boys outside immediately took action. Crotty, who was born with a fat heart, shot a three-pointer against Jordan. The goal was not scored, but the rebound was still caught by Li Shengli and passed to Curry for another three-pointer.

Uh-huh!

3 point hit.

Counting the first two fast breaks, it took 1 minute and 11 seconds to score a 7-point score?

The coaches of both sides didn’t believe it. Phil Jackson really wanted to hit someone. Motta was stunned for a long time without saying anything, and the madness continued...

There was no problem with the Bulls' offense. The first two rebounds were normal, and they were able to guarantee a good 50% overall hit rate. However, Li Shengli stole most of the rebounds. Each rebound was a fast break, and the Bulls couldn't stop them. Can't stop it.

As for the Mavericks' offense, a group of lunatics were firing away outside. How could the Bulls ignore it? They could mobilize their troops to defend on the outside. These lunatics found their big brother inside to open the defensive gap. Wennington didn't even have a chance to foul. No, I gave him a 2+1 out of desperation.

…

3 minutes!

Only 3 minutes!

Even though the next two minutes were not as crazy as before, it still reached a super climax at 6:16, allowing the Mavericks home fans to feel the speed and passion of the game for the first time.

Just like last season, they were still behind and were beaten violently, but the Mavericks had never shown such strong will before, and the feverish counterattack climax in the final quarter directly caused the Reunion Arena to explode. Since the Cowboys fell to the bottom of the Western Conference, fans have not seen a rising Mavericks for a long time.

Amid the hysterical shouts of the home fans, the Bulls' mentality exploded, but the four Kidd brothers were extremely excited...

X***T tactics?

Awesome!

Introducing four new tactics that Mavericks have never tried before. You need to experience them three times. Will you do it like a bull? Do you like this tactic?
