Chapter 873 Young people, it is a blessing to suffer losses!

The game finally started.

When the referee signaled that the two starters could play, the atmosphere on the scene was completely out of control, and Li Shengli just stood calmly in the middle circle and glanced at the Nets' starting lineup...

Kidd is needless to say.

In addition to this, the other four positions are...the center Todd Markloch, who is playing in his third season; the power forward Kenyon Martin, who was the No. 00 pick in 97; Forward Keith Van Horn; and shooting guard Corey Kidders, the eighth overall pick in the '96 draft.

In the entire Nets starting lineup, there is a No. [-] pick, including Kidd and two No. [-] picks.

To be honest, this lineup is still good. Although players' achievements on the field do not depend on their draft picks, the draft picks can still reflect part of their potential. Of course, the most important thing is... this starting lineup is relatively young, and there are 94 The team is led by super-boss Kidd, and the game experience is not too bad. It is the time when the competition is at its best.

It's just that all the rookies in the Mavericks belt have become the team's big brothers?

Li Shengli felt that time passed too fast, and Kidd might not be the only one. In the blink of an eye, a group of guys at the time... the old ones are about to retire, and the young ones have become superstars. He turned his head to look at Kidd and his teammates, and sighed. It's good to say that you are young, because the five members of the Nets, including Kidd, all have wide-eyed eyes and seem to be quite passionate.

……

Passion is definitely a good thing!

But young... How can it be called young if you don't suffer a bit?

Li Shengli didn't think too much. The moment the referee whistled and the ball was thrown into the sky, he took off and pushed the ball to the rear. Whether it was bounce, bounce speed, wingspan, or timing control, they all reached the limit. The ability to resist, and Kidd just glanced helplessly, and immediately went back to defend in advance.

The Lakers' offense is too simple.

Fisher ran and ran with the ball, and passed it to Kobe when he pressed it beyond the three-point line. Come to support, so the ball was given to Artest who was waiting for the ball at a 45-degree angle.

Two transfers in a row, the ball is in the left triangle.

There was no need to deliberately run to find the weak side of the defense. Just a breakthrough from Kobe liberated Artest's position, and Artest rushed to the inside with the ball, and met Mark Lodge one step or so from the free throw line. Make-up defense is a throw.

Although the throw was not made, to be honest, the Lakers' strongest triangle has involved the Nets' defense so much that it can't be seen, and Mark Lodge, who is the center, has gone out... Li Shengli doesn't even know what Mark Lodge is thinking. The supplementary dunk that made him rise from the spot and pressed the ball back.

……

Can this let Li Shengli go?

Damn, even Artest can't let Li Shengli go!

The Nets will be very explosive at home this time, because this defensive choice is so easy to choose, there is no need to think about it at all, maybe the 2 people here will know what to do, but Mark Lodge on the court does not know what to do. I know, easily gave Li Shengli 2 points and 1 rebound.

Without time to say more, Kidd led the team to fight back.

Compared with the Lakers' systematic offense, the Nets are obviously a little bit worse, because it is difficult to find a player who can play alone to tear apart the Lakers' defense, but the situation is much better with Kidd...

It was Kidd who was Kobe Bryant just now.

However, Kidd's character is stable, he didn't engage in fancy counterattacks, he directly found his teammates to cover and killed him beyond the free throw line, and in this position, he can shoot forward, retreat and divide the ball, which poses a great threat to the opponent , but this time... there was a small problem, and the expected quick defense didn't appear?

As soon as this happened, Kidd couldn't help cursing.

Because the Lakers didn't make up the defense quickly, the defensive formation would not be chaotic, and all his teammates were included in the Lakers' defensive range, and he couldn't find a good chance to score the ball.

More importantly, the Lakers' supplementary defense is not without it, it's just unhappy.

From the corner of Kidd's eyes, he saw the slow-moving Artest turning upside down, but the problem is that this guy's sneaky look is obviously looking for his main defense, Nets small forward Van Horn, and he is not thinking about himself.

"Damn, is this looking down on me?" Kidd was very angry, broke out, shot with hatred, and then hit the iron forcefully, and Li Shengli grabbed another rebound. Seeing Kidd's deflated look, he shook his head, really wanting to comfort him Kidd.

……

In fact, the Lakers had indeed discussed before the game to let Kidd take more shots and not to be too tough on defense.

Because everyone knows that no matter how strong the defense is, it is impossible for the opponent to not even take a single shot. The best defensive state should be to reduce the number of shots and at the same time reduce the number of shots made by the opponent. When it comes to the defense against the Nets... …with a reduction in the number of shots per shot, Kidd is obviously a good fit.

Kidd's combined hit is only 40%.

If you really want to let go of Kidd's shots, it's not that there is no possibility of overturning, so Phil Jackson's defensive strategy is not to let go, but to fix Kidd at... the close range of the penalty area, plus a step outside the penalty area. This is Kidd's release area.

25.4% at close range and 32.6% at mid-range?

A hit like Kidd is no threat at all.

Even if these two hits increased sharply due to the relaxation of defense against Kidd, but if you are bolder... 40% of the two combined is enough, but the problem is that 40% is not a hit that can kill .

The most important thing is to let go of Kidd a little bit, and the defense in other positions will be improved. In addition, the Nets have no players who are better than singles, and the offense other than Kidd will not be too exaggerated.

So the real focus of the strategy is Kidd, the strongest core of the Nets, transforming his assist performance into offensive performance. According to Phil Jackson, that is to give the Nets the opportunity they want, but not to the Nets. desired result.

As long as the defensive strategy is properly executed?

Offensive... well, just play whatever you want, how you like to play, after all, the Lakers averaged 101.3 per game in the regular season, and the Nets averaged 96 per game in the regular season, and Phil Jackson thinks that the Nets probably can't come up with any way to limit the dual-core of the Lakers.

……

This comparison is too embarrassing for the Nets, including Nets fans.

At 6 minutes into the half quarter... Kidd was about to vomit, and he got 6 shots in the half quarter. He missed, but hit a three-pointer.

The good news for him is that Kenyon Martin is doing fine.

Although usually the skills are rough and you need to eat your own pass, but this time because the Lakers have always had a small problem with the weak power forward, the slightly injured Samaki withdrew after 2 points in the game, and the mad dog Mark Madsen stepped up , I couldn't bear the champion Martin, so Martin made a 4-for-3, plus 2-for-2 free throws.

This efficiency is really explosive.

But Kidd still wanted to vomit, because his inside teammate was literally beaten in the face by Li Shengli, and in just 6 minutes... Li Shengli had already scored 10 points and 4 rebounds.

10+4 in half a quarter?

Maybe half a quarter is not the most desperate time for Kidd, it is after the first quarter.

Because Li Shengli almost doubled, reaching 18+7, and such a stat... not to mention exaggerated, but behind the stat, Kidd and a large group of superstars sitting in the auditorium cried.
