Chapter 284 283: Thank you, dad, for being a dad after all! (Thanks to the family(2/4)
What's the result now?
Shea used goal after goal to completely remove the halo from Garnett's head.
Garnett does always appear in the right position to interfere with Shea in time.
But the problem is, Shea was still able to score the ball despite Garnett's timely defense!
In the second minute of the third quarter, after breaking through and facing Garnett coming up to defend, Shea made a throw.
In the third minute of the third quarter, facing Garnett's defense, Shea made an independent fadeaway jumper from mid-range, making Garnett not even dare to get too close.
And, the round that just ended.
Shea broke through Mark Davis' defense and entered the penalty area, but was blocked by Garnett as expected.
Seeing that the previous defenses failed to stop Shay, KG boldly pressed Shay's shoulders in the air, and he did not hesitate to use this method to prevent Shay from scoring.
As a result, with his shoulders held down, Shay actually completed a pull-up layup, causing Garnett to foul!
Garnett was about to cry. He didn't know why there was such a big gap between Shea in the first and second half.
Iverson, who knew the sponsor's father well, muttered: "Shay, he wanted to kill the game in one quarter! In the first half, that guy wasn't serious at all!"
Garnett didn't respond when he heard it, but his eyes widened.
Killing the game in one quarter? What an international joke you are kidding!
Do you really think that the kind of performance you had when playing against the Jazz could be achieved casually?
As a young man, Garnett's unwillingness to admit defeat has also grown.
He still didn't believe that Shea could end the game in just one quarter with his hard defense.
He still doesn't believe that as long as he keeps appearing in the right position, he still can't guard against Shay!
At this time, the third quarter was halfway through, and Shea had already scored 7 points after hitting the extra free throw.
The score was also overtaken by the Lakers early.
But the Lakers didn't lead by much, just 4 points.
Garnett clenched his fists. The difference was only 4 points. It was not certain who would win after this quarter, let alone end the game directly.
No matter how much Shay exerts his full strength, how much better can he be than in the first half?
Garnett still doesn’t believe this!
The game continued, and Iverson had already begun to pass the ball to his teammates in this offense, because he personally could no longer score efficiently.
The ball was given to Coleman, the No. 1 pick in the 1990s, in the low post. This talented inside man was once able to dunk on O'Neal.
Coleman has talent, but he doesn't have much ambition.
He doesn't like training and is addicted to alcohol. He always keeps a small bottle of wine in his locker, just like Shay keeps a box of Super Lubricating Skin everywhere.
Garnett felt that this guy seemed to be in a state of being drunk anytime and anywhere.
Sure enough, Coleman, who was so talented, faced Mutombo's defense and made a turn-over jump shot that directly hit the side of the backboard.
Backboard Stroke Master!
God knows whether he is sober or drunk now!
As an inside man, Coleman's shooting percentage has been below 45% all year round, and last season it was only 40.7%. This is enough to illustrate his playing style.
Seeing Coleman wasting his talent in such a way, Iverson, a training fanatic, shook his head.
So, Huang Tian is above, as a professional athlete, he is bound to be at odds with drinking, gambling and drugs in his life!
The 76ers still couldn't score, but Shea didn't let the Lakers stop scoring.
This time, after breaking through and attracting the defense, Garnett thought that Shea could no longer take another shot, but unexpectedly, Shea passed the ball to Dell Curry outside the three-point line.
Curry hit an open three-pointer steadily, and the Lakers instantly led to 7 points!
Shay is not the kind of person who only has eyes for the basket. His containment power begins to allow his teammates to get easy scoring opportunities.
In the third quarter, asking Shea to exert his strength is not just to point to Shea to shoot alone.
As long as Shay can be active, others will get opportunities.
These days, role players are not required to provide space for the core of the team.
Instead, the star player has to help the role players create scoring opportunities.
Either double-team Shea and miss others, or let Shea score as he pleases. For most teams, they can't choose life or death now, they can only choose how to die.
But 76ers coach Johnny Davis has another option.
It neither gives Shay a chance to play in isolation nor gives other Lakers players a chance to shoot easily!
As long as Garnett is around, this "perfect defense" will most likely become a reality.
So, after returning from a timeout in the middle of the third quarter, Xie found that the 76ers' defensive strategy had changed.
This time, as soon as Shea reached the free throw line, all the 76ers players began to shrink and attack frantically.
Shay didn't think too much and prepared to go deeper to give his teammates a better chance before passing the ball.
Shea drove to the basket and jumped up when faced with Coleman's block.
In the air, Shea turned his head and prepared to pass the ball to Finley, who was wide open.
But the moment Shea turned his head, he saw Garnett immediately moving towards Finley, and Shea's passing route was completely blocked!
Johnny Davis smiled. Taking advantage of Garnett's invincible mobility and defensive area, the 76ers could actually flank Shay without missing anyone else.
Just let Garnett fill the biggest gap in time.
Good defense is never about "locking down so and so at all costs."
It's about restricting a certain player as much as possible without paying other costs.
There is no doubt that the 76ers with Garnett can do this!
Shea was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Johnny Davis, a little-known coach, to actually discover Garnett's correct instructions.
This defense is actually similar to the defensive thinking of the champion Green Kai team more than ten years later.
The Green Kai team was able to attack with unlimited attack on the line, and then rely on Garnett's first-rate help defense ability in history to sweep up and make up for the leaks.
Of course, the 76ers' defense is not that organized yet, and KG's defensive experience is not that sufficient.
But at least this time, Shea did fall into the 76ers' defensive trap.
He originally thought that going deeper would create better opportunities for his teammates.
But in fact, Garnett had already plugged Finley's loophole after Shai's breakthrough.
At this time, Shea had already made a pass in the air, but if he passed the ball, it would definitely be a mistake.
Johnny Davis also smiled, Shay's scoring momentum ended here!
As long as you can interrupt an offense by the Lakers, the momentum on the court will instantly turn around!
But Shea made a pass in the air, and when his body had begun to fall, he actually raised the ball over his head again, and threw the ball under Coleman's defense, making a change in the air.
Pass it on!
Players change shots into passes in the air, and Davis has seen it all too often.
But it was the first time that Davis changed his pass into a shot in the air!
But then I thought about it, how could I possibly score a goal with such a reluctant shot?
Shay's attack must have failed. His strategy worked!
However, Johnny Johnson saw the basketball go straight into the net! Shay's difficult pass-to-shooting in the air actually went in!
"Shay is still scoring! The Lakers are ahead by 9 points!
God, how is this possible!?
Shea obviously wanted to pass the ball, but he changed his mind temporarily in the air and switched to shooting.
After hesitating in the air, Shea scored the ball anyway!
The Lakers are now 1 point away from opening the point difference to double digits!"
Philadelphia commentator Mark Zumov rubbed his eyes after shouting.
On the bench, Philadelphia coach Davis also seemed to have a dislocated jaw and could not close his mouth for a long time.
Strictly speaking, his tactics were successful.
He successfully forced Shea to pass the ball in the air, and once the ball came out, it was definitely a turnover.
Canima.
Who would have thought that Shay could change his mind in the air!
It's like you're in a bar and the girl you're attracted to has reached the point of discussing where to get a hotel room, and you're about to succeed, but when you get to the hotel door, she suddenly changes her mind and leaves with you!
Who can imagine this? Who can bear this?
