You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 182

In the absence of helpers, it is an impossible task to replicate the triangle offense of the OK period.

Jackson brought out three dynastic teams successively. If there is no way to learn from the experience of the OK period, maybe we can find some solutions from the successful experience of the Bulls period?
The answer is still no.

It's not just Kobe who doesn't have his own Pippen.

The gap between this Lakers team and the two Bulls dynasties is all-round.

Take the second-generation Bulls dynasty as an example. Except for Qiaopi, who has a steady average of more than 5 assists per game, there are still many people who can pass the ball.

The Bulls have as many as 2.5 players with an average of more than 6 assists per game. Even Randy Brown, a backup wing with obvious 3D attributes, averaged 2.1 assists per game.In terms of passing ability, the Lakers are unmatched.

In terms of offensive ability, Kobe, who has entered his peak period, can play the role of Jordan.

Odom can play like Pippen in terms of organization, but the rest of the Lakers can't provide Kobe with Jordan's shooting environment.

Except for Kobe, Odom, and Wei Xia, no one knows how to pass the ball.

Wei Xia returned to the court, alleviating the Lakers' problem of scarcity of ball-holding points, but his touch is not very good.

Two three-point opportunities, failed to grasp.

His shooting is an old-fashioned problem. He scored 20+ in the previous two games in a row, and his rotation offense is a little bit more. It is also the key to score all three points that should be scored.

Against the 76ers, he made 6 of 5 three-pointers and played like a sharpshooter.

Against the Clippers, his touch returned to "normal," and the Clippers dared to empty him to double-team Kobe.Kobe, who couldn't find the touch in the low post, was even more difficult.

He returned the ball to Wei Xia for the third time, and Wei Xia, who missed both shots, decisively threw the third ball.

The arc so high that people can make correct predictions makes everyone who thinks about rebounding calmly jam their defensive targets.

"boom!"

"Wish missed a three-point shot for the third time!"

"We all know his strengths and weaknesses. His three-pointer is not the best solution to break the deadlock."

Dedes and Thompson Sr. were talking, and the Clippers, who protected the defensive rebound, let the old cat control the ball and rushed to the frontcourt aggressively.

Morris' size is flawed for the two, but he still likes to hit the paint.

Obviously, he has excellent sudden shots and a beautiful cross step change. In the early years, he formed the Houston double dwarf alliance with Steve Francis.

Wei Xia, who missed three three-pointers in a row, made full use of his athletic talent and followed Mobley all the way.

Mobley originally wanted to rely on Wei Xia's body to make a layup. He didn't expect Wei Xia to adopt a late-strike routine, forcing him to take the first shot, and then used a jump height of 120 centimeters to knock his ball down from above.

Mobley suffered a great loss in figure and was chased by Wei Xia.

The atmosphere at Staples suddenly became heated, and the counterattack was blocked. The Clippers had only 3 players in the frontcourt, while the Lakers had 4 players. Weicha made a decisive long pass.

At the top of the arc, Odom has the ball. He often makes unnecessary fancy passes, and sometimes makes Phil Jackson blue with anger.Generally speaking, most players who can play in the NBA for more than a decade have some undeniably great moments, but Odom did not.Because you never know what life he will give you in the next second.

Just like this round, his offense with the ball has attracted the Clippers' defense in front of him, and he hit the ground, and Kobe took off.

As if the ball was too easy to pass, Odom made it difficult on the easy difficulty, and even threw a back pass. Kobe caught the ball, rushed to the basket in a very hasty manner, and luckily scored.

10 is better than 18
The Lakers trailed the Clippers by 8 points. With a tight rotation, Weicha didn't feel good. Weaver didn't dare to take responsibility.

Wei Xia, who had no outside shots, gradually gave up his plan to shoot three-pointers.

He asked Weaver to take his place at the top of the key.

In this way, the person who passed the ball to Kobe was replaced by Weaver.The three-pointer is Weaver's housekeeping skill, and Weicha goes to the bottom corner of the strong side.

Replaced by Weaver and Kobe, the Clippers still double-teamed.

They don't allow Kobe to get comfortable singles in the low post, even if his touch is not necessarily good.

Kobe passed to Weaver the same way he passed to Wesha.

Weaver didn't shoot when there was an open spot like Weixia. He held the ball and waited patiently. Cassel's defense returned to him, and he fed Kobe the ball again.

A dog leg is already worthy of anyone in his role.

Kobe lost his temper, and the Clippers were annoyed by his defense like dumplings. He received the pass again, no longer made any extra moves, turned around, retreated and stepped back.

His low-post footwork should be a textbook for people to learn from, but his touch is really bad.

Through the adjustment of footwork and the suppression of physical fitness, he has created shooting space, but his shooting still ends with iron.

Such a picture is not uncommon in the first quarter.

The Lakers, who are sitting in Staples, should have shown the momentum of being the master of the Clippers, but they seem to be affected by the nightclub conflict, how to vote, why not.

Five seconds before the end of the first quarter, Wei Xia held the ball from the outside, and Kobe wanted to shoot at the buzzer, but the Clippers blocked his receiving point.Wei Xia was forced to shoot a three-pointer one meter away from the three-point line against the defense under Mobley's high-pressure defense.

In the second quarter, Kobe continued to play without rest.

Wei Xia was replaced by Vujacic, he took the towel and sat down.

He's no longer angry that Vujacic topped the starter that should belong to him. More importantly, how should he help the team when he doesn't have perimeter touch?
There seems to be no difference between other people's master control and his master control.

They continued to pass the ball to Kobe in the low post, and Kobe still didn't score, and the irons were clanging.

Judging from his touch, even if Wei Xia can open up space for him, he can't make a goal.Would it make him feel better to think so?No, it won't.

It was Kobe's fault that Kobe couldn't make a shot. Because he couldn't hit a three-pointer, Kobe was constantly double-teamed and the offensive environment was bad. That was his responsibility.

Wei Xia was plagued by certain problems, three-pointers, or three-pointers.

The heaviest thing he practices every day is the three-point shot. Now his three-point shooting rate has reached 40%, which is not his true level.In the previous few games, he had a very good touch and shot a lot, so the data looks very good.If the game continues, his shooting percentage will inevitably decline.

how to solve this problem?

After thinking about it, Wei Xia found that he could hardly solve it.

The only solution is to get the ball in, and his problem is that he can't make it consistently.

Why did he have to vote?Because he always came off as a point guard, Jackson intentionally avoided him sharing the floor with Smash Parker.It seems that he is thinking about him. After all, Parker is famous for throwing the pot and not passing the ball. He is as steady as an old dog. Playing with him, how many good opportunities will Wei Xia be ruined?

However, there are advantages and disadvantages.

Wesha, who is playing with Parker, will be ignored a lot of opportunities, but he can play his favorite swingman, and his athletic ability can be maximized.

From middle school to university, his most impressive advantage is running wildly and using impact to defeat opponents.

With the Lakers, it just doesn't work.

Because he plays point guard, his position can only be at the top of the arc.

The point guard under the triangle offense system does not have many functions, defending, dribbling, passing, and shooting three-pointers.

Although shooting three-pointers is the least important point, as players use space more deeply, the shooting needs of defenders will also increase.

It seems that Wei Xia has fallen into a deadlock.

"Don't think about it, Phil will use you later." Tex Winter walked to Wei Xia and said.

In the Lakers these days, there are not many assistant coaches who can impress Wei Xia, and Winter is one of them.

His stern attitude and meticulous spirit and no matter who it is, Kobe, Odom or anyone else, even if it is Jackson, as long as he is wrong, he will point it out.Be kind to Jackson, but to Kobe, he is as cruel as Kobe's second father.

Legend has it that he did the same to Jordan in the Bulls.

Jordan later mentioned Winter in his Hall of Fame speech, which also proved this point: "I want to thank Tykes, although I rarely satisfy him."

"What if I keep standing at the top of the arc but can't make a three-pointer?" Wei Xia asked for advice from the father of the triangle offense.

Winter's answer is both simple and rude: "If you can't make a shot, don't shoot it. No one insists you shoot a three-pointer."

"Don't vote for the big open?" Wei Xia asked in surprise.

"If you know you don't have a good handle, then don't shoot. If Shaq is in your position, he will definitely get more open shots in a game than Chamberlain's single-game high. Do you think he will shoot?"

Wei Xia insisted: "Yes, he made a three-pointer."

"He made a shot!" Winter was furious. "He can't shoot, so you don't have to shoot. As long as you don't feel good, don't shoot. Continue to pass the ball to Kobe, or go in with the ball to disrupt the position!"

Wei Xia glanced at Jackson who was watching the field.

"Is this what Phil meant?" Wei Xia asked.

"No!" replied Winter, "that's what I meant!"

Wei Xia was not sure whether to listen to Winter.

"What if Phil doesn't want me to?"

"FUC*!" Winter exploded, "You even dare to fight with him in the conference room, but now you dare not fight for a better performance? Kobe is right, you are a freak!"

Wei Xia is also very wronged. He doesn't want to destroy the team's system, and he doesn't want to annoy Zen Master, although he has already provoked enough.He can safely say that his performance at the three-point line today will be a key topic in tomorrow's meeting.

The title of the topic is: Why can't Wei Xia make an open three-pointer?Because he's not ready to start.

If he had listened to Winter, then for sure, the topic of the meeting would have been: Why did Wescia get the open shot and not take the shot, was he crippled by some perimeter?Oh no, he lacked courage.
