Chapter 157

"Who are you talking about, low-profile Pippen?"

Kobe's eyes widened: "I want to be Jordan's man, O'Neal wants to be my Jordan? That's a dream!"

Kobe is indeed a man of character, he just wants to defend Han Yi alone, but Harris can't stand it, seeing Han Yi is going to give up alone, he turned around and asked Rodman to help!

For Rodman, this kind of inside and outside is also a familiar thing, after all, last season the Bulls used double-teaming to kill the entire Celtics!

"Remember, you can't double-team Han Yi after he gets the ball. You have to start before he gets the ball! Remember, as long as Han Yi gets the ball, we don't have many ways to deal with it. We have to make it impossible for him to even get the ball! As long as he can't get the ball, even God can't score!"

Kobe was shocked and said, "Double-team without the ball? Isn't this illegal defense?"

"You idiot!" Rodman said angrily, "Don't you watch the game? We beat the Celtics last season by double-teaming without the ball!"

"The so-called illegal defense refers to the prohibition of double-teaming the player without the ball on the weak side. All players on the strong side can be double-teamed, and on the strong side, the strong side can be double-teamed. In the weak side unformed serve phase, everyone can be double-teamed! If you want to be a top defender, how can you not know this! "

"Damn, who would remember this kind of thing?" Kobe stared at Han Yi fiercely: "Except for Han Yi, which normal team would double-team a person who doesn't have the ball? Isn't this directly putting their own players in a passive situation of more players against fewer players?"

"Yes!" McGrady said faintly on the side: "Michael Jordan, didn't you say you like Jordan the most? You don't know this? Haha!"

Kobe has known McGrady for a long time. As early as high school, they had known each other as the strongest high school students and had played against each other many times. Kobe knew that McGrady, like him, did not dream of becoming a shitty defensive expert, but to become a superstar standing in the center of the stage and enjoying the worship of thousands of people.

So Kobe looked at McGrady, who was bowing to Han Yi, and retorted: "I remember your dream is to become Jordan, when will you kick Han Yi out of the team?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" McGrady said seriously: "Han Yi is my Jordan, I am trying to become a qualified Pippen!"

When seeing McGrady's eyes, which were originally unable to open, become bright and energetic, Kobe knew that McGrady, this bastard, was determined to go all the way and be a supporting player!

Of course, Kobe didn't care about him. Now the top priority was to implement the strategy of double-teaming Han Yi.

And this double-teaming effect was indeed effective as soon as it was doubled. When the ball didn't pass Han Yi's hand, although there was an experienced veteran like Joe Dumars to organize the offense, the offensive effect was visibly reduced compared to Han Yi holding the ball!

Han Yi couldn't catch the ball, and the other Celtics had to rely on their touch again, but it happened that the touch was cold again!

So, the Lakers took advantage of the Celtics' cold hand and chased the points fiercely!

But Han Yi, who had been forced to double-team by the Lakers for several rounds and couldn't even catch the ball, was not panicked at all, and pointed his finger to the sky!

Kobe was shocked. What kind of tactic is this? Why haven't you seen it before?

At this time, suddenly, Joe Dumas called Big Ben to do a pick-and-roll. Ben Wallace's broad shoulders just lightly lifted Joe Dumas' defender and forced Dumas away, allowing Dumas to get a good shooting space.

Although Dumas didn't shoot much today, only 4 shots, but he hit 3 balls, mainly playing a high-efficiency, so Kobe, who was closest to him, chose to come over to make up for the defense!

Facing Kobe rushing over, Dumas still didn't hesitate, but chose to continue to raise the arc of his shot!

Although this arc passed Kobe's block, the landing point of this arc was obviously off. According to Kobe's calculation, the final result of this ball must hit the back basket. As for scoring, it is impossible!

His defense this time was absolutely successful!

"Asshole, come back!"

Kobe, who was still in the air, suddenly heard Rodman's roar behind him, and his eyes suddenly widened:

"It's bad, it's bad!"

At this time, Kobe saw a smile flash in Dumas' eyes!

Joe Dumas said lightly: "You kid, you are still too young!"

When Kobe came to help defend, Rodman felt that it was not good. How could he stop Han Yi's pace alone?

And Han Yi was already stabbing the basket like a cheetah!

Rodman couldn't keep up with that at all. All hope could only be entrusted to Shaquille O'Neal, who always stood like a tower under the basket!

"Everything depends on me, come on, Han Yi!"O'Neal opened his arms and guarded the restricted area. It was impossible to cross this mountain!

But why should he cross it?

Han Yi rushed to O'Neal, attracted him to jump high, and then he was behind O'Neal with a flexible move!

At this time, the Lakers still had one!

Eddie Jones hid behind O'Neal and jumped high to grab the rebound!

But Eddie Jones suddenly saw a pair of giant hands suddenly appear in the air. When the basketball had completely deviated from the track, he grabbed the rapidly rotating basketball in his hands. The huge basketball in his hands was like a small toy and was fiercely poured into the basket!

It was Han Yi!

Of course it was Han Yi!

Only Han Yi could complete this alley-oop dunk!

"Hey!" O'Neal spread his hands and asked Rodman: "You said you were defending Han Yi, but where were you just now?"

Rodman, panting, was confused:

"Didn't you fail to defend just now? Can you blame me for this?"

Han Yi floated past them: "Don't argue, don't complain about this, complain about that, how embarrassing, I'll play inside next round!"

"Neither of you can escape!"

PS: Today I am a bit of a smear on Kobe. It is impossible for Kobe to not know the details of NBA defense. I am using the conversation between Rodman and Kobe to answer a question from the old man who reads my book: What Jordan did not allow off-ball double-teaming? This is a purely false proposition based on rumors.

This false proposition is actually very easy to distinguish true from false. As long as you randomly pick a playoff video of Jordan's peak period, you will see more than one off-ball double-team. As for why there is this inexplicable and completely unworthy of scrutiny false proposition, it requires all readers to think about it. No, I won't say why.
