Chapter 455 The bottomless shark slashing tactics! 【Subscription】
In the first game between the Mavericks and the Lakers, the old Nelson used the shark hacking tactics invented by the Celtics last year without any bottom line!
In this game, under the direction of the old Nelson, they sent O'Neal to the free throw line 43 times!
Because of so many free throws, the game was played for a full 3 and a half hours!
43 times to the free throw line, this is certainly not the destructive power of O'Neal is really so terrible.
Although he is the most lethal monster in the alliance, he is not so exaggerated.
This is because the old Nelson will start fouling O'Neal non-stop after the Mavericks' fouls reach the free throw standard in each quarter, yes, non-stop fouls!
In this game, a total of 5 Mavericks were sent off the court for 6 fouls, but their efforts also paid off. O'Neal, who walked to the free throw line 43 times, only hit 19 goals! The hit rate was less than half!
This is purely due to old Nelson's cheekiness and completely disrupted the rhythm of O'Neal and the Lakers. You must know that after hard training in the summer, O'Neal's free throw percentage this season has exceeded 60%, an increase of 10 over the previous year. Percentage, it can be said that the progress is rapid.
But under the crazy foul of the old Nelson, he still lost the feeling of his free throws, and the stretch at the free throw line also made the Lakers comeback at a heavy price. They simply couldn't play a decent offense and a series of effective points.
Even if they have overwhelming advantages in lineup and all aspects, they just can't comfortably pull off the score when they can't find a rhythm.
Los Angeles fans lost their desire to boo Nelson Sr. even starting in the third quarter.
Anyway, this old man has no face and skin, and he doesn't take it seriously at all. If they continue to shush, they will only make their throats inflamed.
Phil Jackson never thought that this league's top coach would be so limitless, and after swearing a few swear words, he wanted to fight back and see who was more disgusting.
But when he also wanted to foul the Mavericks, he was surprised to find that among the five players on the Mavericks field, the lowest free throw percentage was Michael Finley's 78%.
Others whether Nowitzki, Nash, or Ceballos, Strickland, free throws are all over 80%.
The Mavericks, this season, the team's free throw percentage is more than 80%!
They are the best free throw team in the entire league, and the best free throw team.
In this case, it is impossible for Phil Jackson to fight back.
In the end, at the critical time of the fourth quarter, Jackson could only tearfully press O'Neal on the bench to prevent Nelson's endless foul tactics. Without O'Neal as a strong point, the Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki, Finley One after another, they attacked the inside, even if Kobe and Miller scored consecutively, they could not stop the Mavericks' wolves tactics.
In the end, the Lakers lost their first game of the playoffs by 101:99, a 2-point difference to the Dallas Mavericks who barely squeezed into the playoffs at the last minute!
After the game, all the nation was madly discussing Nelson's endless shark slashing tactics. Many people criticized Nelson for making the game boring, fragmented, and turned into a free-throw line battle. This kind of behavior should be banned.
Old Nelson didn't take it seriously. The old man sat at the press conference and said proudly: "This is competitive sports, I don't care what you want to watch, I just want to win! Attack the opponent's weakness. What's wrong?
"Or you tell O'Neal to stop attacking the basket for our weak inside, and as long as he promises not to shoot within the 3-second zone, I won't foul him."
Old Nelson's behavior that the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water makes the league powerless. Even if David Stern wants to introduce something to limit the shark slashing and increase the viewing value of the game, it can only be implemented next season. The NBA can never No rule changes in the middle of a series.
Therefore, even if the Lakers fans in the United States hate the behavior of the old Nelson, they are helpless. After all, what he does is completely in line with the rules of basketball.
On the Lakers side, O'Neal looked ugly as if he had just lost a million dollars. He hardly said a word at the press conference, but left a sentence when he was finally about to leave.
"Next game, I'll make Dallas comeback! I'll take all those damn, damn, damn free throws!"
But what excites China fans is not how many free throws O'Neal made on the court, but his brilliant performance in Game 1 of the playoffs. Stayed on the court! This fully shows that his position in the team has become more and more stable.
Not to mention that at 1 minute and 28 seconds before the end of the game, he generally accepted Shi's pass and hit an extremely crucial 3-pointer, helping the team stabilize the victory.
Generally speaking, he has fully grown into a qualified NBA player!
In the second game between the two sides two days later, O'Neal fulfilled his promise, and he made a frantic free throw extra practice during the two days' rest.
Of course, a person's free throw level cannot be improved by leaps and bounds in 2 days. The training he received is mainly psychological. It happens that the Lakers have Phil Jackson, the league's number one psychological master, and he has used various methods to help O'Neal. Decompression, allowing him to regain his confidence at the free throw line.

Maybe it was Phil Jackson's psychological lessons that worked, or maybe it was just enough iron at the free throw line last game, where O'Neal hit 5 of his first 6 free throws after the Mavericks fouled again! Hit another 6 of 8 free throws in the second quarter!
So far, the old Nelson's foul tactics were completely defeated by O'Neal's free throws, and they will not be used in the next time. Crazy impact, tear, crush.
In the end, the Lakers played an exaggerated 66:29 in the second half, giving the Mavericks a big defeat and taking a good sigh of relief for themselves.
In the third game, the two sides moved to the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, and the Lakers made persistent efforts. Under the circumstance that Nelson did not use the shark slashing tactics, the Lakers were completely unable to stop the Mavericks. Again, 111:90, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks by 21 points. , regained the initiative in the series!
But in the fourth game, the old Nelson suddenly changed!
He took down the team's slow and soft big bamboo pole Bradley, and will be generally put into the starting lineup!
Roughly, Dirk Nowitzki formed the Mavericks' insider combination! Big.
