Chapter 1 Hendrikson Isn't Crazy

Of course, Hendrikson wasn't crazy.

You know, when Davis found this guy before the game and told him that the team was going to let him deal with O'Neal in this game, Hendrikson felt that Coach Davis must be crazy.

Coach, do I look like someone with innate supernatural power with my skinny appearance?

"Mark, you are also a member of the '96 Golden Generation, show some courage!" Davis said, patting Hendrikson on the shoulder.

At this moment, Hendrikson really wanted to send Davis three question marks.

Courage?

Dear coach, you know, this is not a matter of courage. Dealing with ordinary people is just a little sweat.

But dealing with O'Neal is freaking life-threatening!

Fortunately, after Davis told Hendrikson that he only needed to do this and that when he went up, Hendrikson breathed a sigh of relief.

"I just need to keep fouling him, right?" Hendrikson said with a wry smile.

Davis nodded.

Speaking of which, Davis felt that his tricks were becoming more and more numerous recently.

In this game, he even started to show off psychological tactics.

"Hey, actually coaching an NBA team is not as difficult as I thought..." John - a famous coach of a generation - Davis thought.

The camera returned to the court. After甩开Hendrikson, O'Neal always felt a little itchy all over.

Hendrikson was a fair-skinned white boy, and as soon as he thought of the scene of this guy hugging him just now, O'Neal wanted to give him an elbow.

Could he have some special fetish?

Thinking of this, O'Neal felt even more uncomfortable.

Because although he liked lolis, he didn't like men!

On the court, the Lakers served, and then, just as O'Neal had just deleted the picture in his mind...

Hendrikson copied and pasted a new picture for him.

Because of his awe of O'Neal, Hendrikson swore, touching his right boob, that he wasn't really胆子less, but his body just couldn't help shaking...

O'Neal: "..."

Hey! Are you guys going to play or not?

Is this how you play?

Even...

Even if you want to foul, can you change to someone more normal?

In the 96/97 season, it wasn't like no one had ever tried to limit O'Neal by fouling, but this kind of outrageous way of fouling was really the first time the 76ers fans at the scene had ever seen it.

On the sidelines, on the Lakers' bench, Harris had roughly guessed the 76ers' intentions.

Could it be that they want to foul four times in a row and then keep sending O'Neal to the free throw line?

Harris only guessed half of it right.

On the court, the Lakers served again...

This time O'Neal simply didn't bother to move. He looked at Hendrikson not far from him, and the impatient expression on his face couldn't have been simpler: Come up, do it yourself.

After hugging O'Neal twice in a row, Hendrikson's胆子 also grew bigger. This time, when he hugged O'Neal, he didn't tremble...

Only accidentally, Hendrikson felt that he was hugging a little too tightly.

While a comedy was being staged on the court, Su Feng glanced at Da Ben sitting on the bench and said, "See, this is the end for players who are not good at free throws!"

Da Ben hurriedly nodded.

But... he really couldn't get over the hump in his heart to learn how to hold a chamber pot.

Bee——!

After Hendrikson hugged O'Neal four times in a row, the 76ers' next foul meant the Lakers would get free throws.

While taking the opportunity to educate Da Ben, Su Feng's eyes also looked at O'Neal.

As an excellent keyboard warrior, Su Feng knew very well that the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic was also a double-edged sword. "Hacking" alone could not solve this Lakers team.

In the 99/00 season, the Pacers did the same outrageous thing to O'Neal in the Finals.

At that time, the Pacers hacked O'Neal to only 18 hits out of 39 free throws in Game 2, but the Lakers still won that game in the end.

Because too many interruptions to the game would also affect their own offensive rhythm.

Of course, compared to being beaten to tears by O'Neal in the first game, Bird's tactic did allow the Pacers to see a glimmer of hope for defeating the Lakers in the second game.

O'Neal was in excellent condition tonight, and the 76ers just wanted to disrupt his rhythm.

On the court, the referees were also a little dazed at this time, because although the 76ers' approach did not violate the rules, they always felt that it was too much to bully O'Neal.

But...

Why is there a feeling of Schadenfreude?

In the Central State Arena, the 76ers fans couldn't wait to see O'Neal's performance on the free throw line.

On the court, O'Neal put his hands on his hips and kept rubbing his hands.

He had specifically practiced free throws before the game tonight, and he hit 15 out of 20 at that time.

O'Neal decided to let these people see that this kind of spicy chicken tactic was useless to him!

Just as O'Neal was ready, on the court, after the Lakers served again, it wasn't Hendrikson who was responsible for sending him to the free throw line this time.

Because no matter how much of a tool person you are, out of tool person protectionism, you can't let Hendrikson come up and get six fouls directly and then go down, right?

This time, Su Feng hugged O'Neal with a smile on his face.

It is worth mentioning that after the referee blew the whistle, Su Feng also patted O'Neal on the back and said, "Good luck, Shaq!"

O'Neal: "..."

O'Neal pushed Su Feng away impatiently and walked to the free throw line.

Before the NBA modified the rules for fouling off-ball players, the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic was really too unfriendly to Shaq.

The 76ers fans at the scene cooperated very well and booed. Originally, O'Neal, who was used to big scenes, felt that this kind of booing did not interfere with him at all.

However, when he saw Hendrikson standing in the restricted area, O'Neal was not calm!

Because his mind was full of Hendrikson's橘里橘气的 appearance.

Clang——!

Clang——!

O'Neal missed two free throws, and the 76ers successfully hacked Shaq for the first time. Ratliff protected the rebound, and the 76ers attacked.

After Iverson broke into the hinterland with Hendrikson's screen, the Answer, who was still reasonable tonight, passed the ball back to Hendrikson, who cut out.

Hendrikson did not hesitate and hit a high post jump shot.

4 to 4!

Hendrikson was a little excited after scoring, because his girlfriend also came to the scene tonight.

Although he was just a small person in the 76ers team, who doesn't have an ambitious heart?

While retreating, Su Feng specifically patted Hendrikson on the shoulder and said, "Mark, we will definitely cherish your efforts. If we can beat the Lakers tonight, then you will be our number one hero!"

Hendrikson was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously said, "Really?"

"Of course, Mark, don't be afraid of the shadows ahead, because there is sunshine behind you!" Su Feng added.

At this moment, Hendrikson clenched his fist.

In a trance, he felt that all his previous sacrifices were worth it.

So be it, a clown is a clown. Doesn't the circus always need someone to play the clown?

On the importance of doing ideological work for players.

At the beginning of tonight, Davis originally wanted to arrange for Hendrikson to go up and刷a six fouls and come down, but Su Feng knew that if that were the case, Hendrikson's mentality would collapse before the game was over.

Because no one is born to be a supporting role.

On the court, this time it was Iverson who was responsible for sending O'Neal to the free throw line.

Look, this is Philadelphia fighting for freedom.

Unity is strength!

O'Neal was speechless...

Freaking hell, if you have the ability, send me to the free throw line for the whole game!

With a look of grief and indignation, O'Neal...

Clang——!

Clang——!

In Su Feng's previous life, O'Neal's accurate free throws were a small probability event, and the more impetuous you were, the harder it was to hit free throws.

Ratliff protected the rebound again, the 76ers launched a fast break, and Hendrikson worked hard to set screens for his teammates.

Just as Hendrikson cut out again on the court, he found that Iverson actually passed the ball to him again.

Hendrikson, who was standing outside the three-point line, was a little hesitant after receiving the ball, but he suddenly remembered what Su Feng had just said to him.

I am the 76ers' number one hero tonight!

There is sunshine behind me!

Watch carefully, Amanda, your boyfriend is now playing in the NBA!

Swish——!

4 to 7, it was a high post three-pointer.

In fact, the Lakers players were right. After Hendrikson came on the court, the 76ers' space did become larger.

Because compared to the Philadelphia three iron players, the Lakers are most likely to leave Hendrikson open, aren't they?

This guy's defense is not good, but the question is, if the 76ers play "Hack-a-Shaq" tonight, do they still need Hendrikson to defend?

Of course not.

Bee——!

On the court, after Hendrikson scored, this time it was Stackhouse who was responsible for fouling.

There is a saying in the NBA that two missed free throws are equal to one turnover.

Then, after O'Neal missed two free throws in a row, the Lakers have now made the equivalent of two consecutive turnovers.

This time, O'Neal performed normally and made one of two free throws, 5 to 7.

But in turn, after the Lakers' perimeter was opened up due to Hendrikson's appearance, Iverson's living environment became better and better.

In Su Feng's previous life, before Kobe grew up, this Lakers team could not be considered a top team.

Their playoff series against the Jazz was an example. The perimeter continued to slump, giving the Jazz the courage to keep doubling O'Neal.

And although Harris' tactics gave O'Neal a lot of autonomous offensive rights, it must be said that before Phil Jackson came to pick the peaches, the power of this shark was indeed not maximized.

In the 99/00 season Finals, O'Neal averaged 38 points, 16.7 rebounds, and a shooting percentage of 61.1%. With the increase of the triangle offense, O'Neal was able to happily duel with the opponent's inside players.

Black Zen Master is black Zen Master, but if you say that Zen Master's "triangle offense" is nothing, then his 11 championships cannot all be picked up, right?

If the championship is really so easy to pick up, then Su Feng's future successor would have something to say.

Tactics also have to vary from person to person.

In the Bulls' three consecutive championships, Jordan really didn't like to play the triangle at key moments, but you have to take a look at what kind of inside players the Bulls had...

On the court, after "Ai Feng" screened, Su Feng, who received the ball, and Ratliff screened again.

The Lakers' defense was completely chaotic.

Due to the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic, O'Neal rested well tonight. He directly switched defenses with his teammates, making it clear that he didn't want to give Su Feng a chance to shoot.

Su Feng's taunting power maxed out!

Shoot!

Shoot if you have the ability!

See if I'll block you!

At this moment, O'Neal, who was exasperated, couldn't wait to lift up Kobe and smash it at Su Feng.

After observing the distance between O'Neal and himself, Su Feng was not stupid.

This shark's lateral movement is not slow now. The current O'Neal is not the fathead fish who was whipped onto the treadmill by Lai in the future.

Dong!

Because he was worried about Su Feng's first step, O'Neal controlled the distance very well this time.

But it was this distance that gave Su Feng, the dribbling master with a dribbling and ball-handling ability of 67 points, a chance to perform!

O'Neal's center of gravity was too high. He couldn't lower his body to steal the basketball in Su Feng's hand, right?

As Su Feng's shoulders shook, O'Neal hurriedly slid to his left hand, Su Feng's right side.

Wake up, Shaq!

I'm not Iverson. Who told you that I only go on the right?

No matter the back door or the front door, the left or the right, as long as you can break through with the ball in both hands, that is a good door and a good road!

O'Neal's center of gravity was completely shaken away by Su Feng.

With the blessing of the young LeBron James version of Crossover, after Su Feng's first step breakthrough, his second and third steps were obviously a little faster than before.

Face the wind!

From today on, please call me Philadelphia Yasuo!

Bang——!

No one on the Lakers' inside line, which was pulled empty by the 76ers, could make up for the defense. After shaking off O'Neal, Su Feng dunked with one hand!

At this moment, the top of the Appalachian Mountains shook!

Damn it, this kid is劈山 again!

5 to 9!

On the sidelines, the Lakers were preparing to call a timeout.

Harris didn't know if the 76ers would continue to Hack-a-Shaq, but to be reasonable, the 76ers were playing a conspiracy tonight.

Harris decided to call a timeout to let O'Neal slow down, because as long as the shark's free throws could be accurate, the 76ers' Hack-a-Shaq tactic would be defeated without attacking.

However, just as Harris was doing psychological counseling for O'Neal...

On the 76ers' side, they were preparing to substitute.

"Hack-a-Shaq" is not a long-term solution. The 76ers were able to gain this lead mainly because their success rate was high in the last few rounds.

Disrupting the Lakers' rhythm and giving O'Neal psychological pressure is the main purpose of the 76ers' "Hack-a-Shaq" tonight.

Now, it's time to show the real defense!

After the timeout, the 76ers substituted Da Ben.

O'Neal, who was originally waiting for the 76ers players to come over and hug him, was stunned.

What the hell?

Why don't you hack anymore?

On the sidelines, Harris was completely晕了...

But if you don't hack, then don't hack. Let's play normally?

Hey, wait, how to defend O'Neal...

Is that afro?

In Su Feng's previous life, neither Da Ben nor Ratliff could defend O'Neal.

But in terms of strength, Da Ben's strength was better than Ratliff's.

Ratliff's fronting at the beginning was to make O'Neal used to角力, to tell O'Neal that as long as you squeeze gently, this inside line is yours.

The "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic was to disrupt O'Neal's rhythm.

As for putting Da Ben on now...

"Ben, if it's one-on-one, are you confident in holding Shaq?" Before the game, Su Feng patted Ben Wallace on the shoulder and said.

"How is that possible! Su, Shaq has more than just strength.

His back-up skills are too varied." Ben Wallace shook his head repeatedly.

"If it's just a matter of strength, do you think you can hold him for 2 seconds?" Su Feng asked.

"I can only guarantee that I can hold on until you come to help defend." Da Ben replied honestly.

That's enough, young man.

Now this shark's anger is already exploding.

After getting used to the rhythm of scoring as long as he squeezed at the beginning, he, who was sent to the free throw line to perform continuously, was now afraid that he couldn't wait to completely凿穿 the 76ers' inside line.

In Su Feng's previous life, in addition to the Jazz this season, in the 98/99 season, Duncan and Robinson also jointly staged a wonderful shark defense teaching.

These two rounds of shark defense teaching had a striking similarity, that is, O'Neal's shooting percentage was limited to below 50%.

On the court, just as O'Neal received the ball and was about to凿开 Ben Wallace, suddenly, in addition to Ratliff, Iverson also rushed to O'Neal's face.

If O'Neal is allowed to receive the ball in the low post, then no one can stop him.

If you want to limit him, you must let him receive the ball in a farther position.

Then simultaneously rely on the double-teaming of the guards and inside teammates.

Da Ben and Ratliff both belonged to the kind of players who were better at helping defend and filling in, so, in order to achieve the first step, Ratliff took the approach of fronting twice in a row at the beginning.

These two times would give O'Neal a psychological illusion, that is, the 76ers would not easily let him receive the ball in the low post tonight, but as long as he could receive the ball, then he would be invincible.

O'Neal is a very smart player. He has more than just strength.

Therefore, Su Feng predicted O'Neal's prediction.

After being continuously harassed by Hack-a-Shaq, the hotheaded O'Neal would follow the trap set by the 76ers step by step and drill in.

Next, what Da Ben, who was stronger than Ratliff, needed to do was to compete with O'Neal for strength in a higher position.

He didn't need to be able to hold on.

Because the 76ers would complete a three-man encirclement the moment O'Neal exerted his strength.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Jazz did just that.

Of course, O'Neal also had a choice, which was to pass the ball immediately when he was double-teamed.

Then the question is...

With the Lakers' perimeter at this time...

It wasn't Su Feng bragging, if they weren't iron, they would have passed the Jazz long ago!

Jones was famous for being inaccurate in key shots, as for Madman Van Exel?

Wake up, it's also a small probability event that this guy can go crazy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be a madman, but Fan Ritian.

Plus, O'Neal was still in a hotheaded state at this moment. In the moment when the 76ers completed the encirclement, although he was so angry that his head became a circle bigger, O'Neal still made a mistake.

Isolated and helpless was the true portrayal of O'Neal at this time.

On the Lakers' bench, Kobe watched very angrily.

What kind of plays are these?

拉开for Shaq!

Run more and接球!

On the 76ers' bench, Davis smiled gratifiedly after seeing Iverson's fast break succeed and rewrite the score between the two teams to 5 to 11.

Seeing that his interlocking schemes were successful, Davis clenched his fists at this moment, extremely confident.

"Although the game is played by the players, the behind-the-scenes work depends on the coach." Davis thought silently.

…
