Healing Basketball

Chapter 621 621. Not a triangle offense!

Although Kobe put tremendous pressure on Liu Xiu, it did not affect his calm analysis of opponents.

The Lakers have outstanding advantages-Kobe's personal ability and the starting lineup under the training of Zen Master have a good tacit understanding.

But the shortcomings are also obvious-the best outside backup is Derek Anderson, and the inside backup is Brian Cook.

Moreover, the data of the Lakers currently seen is the data after the Lakers' performance of 1 wins and 9 losses in January. Improve a lot.

Compared with how well the Lakers have performed recently, what Liu Xiu feels is even more painful is that their backup center, Mourning, is suspended for the 10th game tonight, and it just happened to play the Lakers in the last game of the suspension. It has a huge impact on offense.

Kwame Brown's physical strength is very good, but he lacks experience as the core of the inside line. He plays too aggressively and has a lot of unnecessary consumption. Halfway through the regular season, he only has 25 to 30 minutes of outstanding performance in each game.

Of course, momentum is the foundation of Kwame Brown's current status. The Trail Blazers encourage him to play like that. As for the distribution of physical strength, I will talk about it later. First of all, Kwame Brown must become a top defensive center. This is more important.

Fortunately, they have been in good health in recent days. Except for Blake's absence due to injury, everyone else can play tonight. Payton can play, and there is a third point guard. Blake's absence is not a big problem.

There is no solution for physical problems, winning too much, sometimes it is also a problem...

Surprisingly, Payton and Raheem are the players with the best health this season. Liu Xiu has had several sprains and strains, but with the repair of the Buff of "Phoenix", it does not hinder the game. The two are too good at avoiding injuries.

Liu Xiu shook her head quickly, put aside her distracting thoughts, and concentrated on listening to Bu Shuai's final defensive arrangement.

After a while, the game was about to start, and Liu Xiu received a prompt to choose a talent copy object.

Teammate, Liu Xiu chose to copy Ray Allen's "quick shot" to speed up his shooting speed; the opponent naturally chose Kobe, with the bonus of "Mamba player" and additional copy talent.

The copied talent is 'Physical Pentium', and the method of sweating to restore physical strength is turned on. This is a magical skill, copying Kobe's regular talent.

But Liu Xiu was very surprised by the talent of extra duplication...

"...Extra duplication talent: serial killer, bonus effect: Whenever the host scores in one-on-one offense and successfully defends in one-on-one defense, it will bring more pressure to the opponent, and the opponent will Will be in a state of increasing pressure that can only be reduced by scoring on the host one-on-one and defending one-on-one against the host.”

Instead of 'Center Booster', there is a new talent!
And with this talent, Liu Xiu looked at the other side...

Xiaopang is doing mental training for himself, and he is about to face off against a big guy who can score 76 points in the singles. Suddenly, he feels a chill behind his back, and he feels a warm and healing gaze.

He didn't even need to follow his line of sight to find out who it was!
The Warden's Watch!

...

At 8 p.m., Kwame Brown beat Wang Zhizhi to win the jump ball, and the Trail Blazers went first.

Liu Xiu received the ball and dribbled it two steps, grabbed the ball and threw it forward.

Kobe, who had just moved to the top arc, immediately turned around and rushed inside, sure enough!

Randolph bypasses Odom into the paint!

Kobe tried to get it back, but it was too far away. Randolph caught the ball and took off, flying and dunking with both hands to score two points!
Looking at Odom who was chasing after Randolph, Kobe shouted: "Lamar, what the fuck did you do!"

Odom lowered his head and scratched the back of his head: "Sau Rui."

Kobe: "..."

Deron picked up the ball and sent it to Odom, Odom advanced to the frontcourt, Deron took Liu Xiu to the right sideline, Butler took Ray Allen to the left corner, Kobe was in the middle distance from the right baseline .

After the others settled down, Wang Zhizhi pulled to a position one step outside the free throw line. Odom passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi and cut in from the left.

Wang Zhizhi protected the ball with his back to the basket, did not give Kwame Brown a chance to steal, and seized the opportunity to pass the ball back to Odom who cut into the left sideline of the three-second zone. Under the basket, and used the wingspan to interfere with the line on the right side of Odom's three-second zone.

But Kobe didn't wait to catch the ball on the right side of the three-second zone, but followed the outsider into the inside lane, and Odom lobped... Kobe followed up with an alley-oop dunk and scored two points!

"Are the two on the opposite side inside? It's really torture to play against them. It's much more difficult than the last match." Randolph complained when he picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu received the ball and responded: "Here is the ball, hit him!"

Randolph was shocked when he heard the words. He ran to the frontcourt and then went to the right side of the three-second zone to block Odom fiercely for the ball. Liu Xiu had already gestured at halftime, and Ray Allen went to the right side At the bottom corner, the left baseline of the outlaw lunatic, Kwame Brown went to the middle of the left sideline of the three-second zone, and Liu Xiu lobbed the ball to Randolph who was stuck in the position.

Randolph turned around and entered the basket with a low post, Wang Zhizhi shrank and pinched Randolph.

Kobe was surprised that the timing of Wang Zhizhi's contraction was due to fighting against a compatriot, the warden?

Wang Zhizhi cut off the cutting line of the pass and the timing of taking it back was very good, which cooperated well with Odom's defense, but... Randolph slammed the ball hard after entering the basket, and it was within a reasonable collision zone Collided with Wang Zhizhi, then squeezed Wang Zhizhi, forced to put the basket... hit!
Randolph completed the score with one hit and two!

The big screen and the live broadcast replayed Randolph's attack just now. Randolph took the initiative to press on Wang Zhizhi by being in a reasonable collision zone, making Wang Zhizhi lose the ability to defend, and took advantage of the opportunity to use his generous body to block Odom behind him. , Take off quickly and release the basket during the confrontation... The court said that the ball was horizontal and clever.

When Wang Zhizhi picked up the ball and sent it to Odom, he couldn't keep it subtle: "Stand on the horse, this guy is much better than the opener now."

A well-known thing in the NBA-Chinese people love tomatoes. Odom responded: "It's similar to the warden in your country. This guy will become even stronger if he loses weight."

Kobe, who was helping Odom push forward, replied: "The middle of the season is the most exhausting time. At this time, although the butcher's condition is average, he loses weight the fastest."

Odom thought of someone and said with a smile, "Kobe has experience."

As soon as these words came out, Odom felt that the air was a few degrees colder, so he quickly called Wang Zhizhi to serve, and immediately turned around and pushed forward after receiving the ball.

You can't hide the eyes of a person who wants a knife!

Odom felt the murderous aura on Kobe...

Pushing forward to the frontcourt, Odom continued to pass the ball to Wang Zhizhi, who supported him in a high position, and then cut inside.

Kwame Brown moved back and switched to Odom, and Randolph switched to Wang Zhizhi in a high position.

Wang Zhizhi knew such a simple tactic, and in the second round, the opponent's parallel import champion could break it. The short-distance explosive movement speed, Kwame Brown was two points faster than Odom.

But Wang Zhizhi still took the ball. He lobbed the ball to the right of the three-second zone. Kobe leaned on the outsider to receive the ball, and turned around to play singles.

Butler runs towards the top arc around the three-point line, Wang Zhizhi passes the ball and moves to the right at a 45-degree angle, Butler uses Wang Zhizhi's cover and cuts in from a 45-degree angle, Kobe suddenly grabs the ball and throws it to the left during continuous cross-step dribbles Going out, Butler who cut in received the ball, and the extrajudicial madman hurriedly made up for it. Butler immediately passed back after receiving the ball. Kobe caught the ball and ignored Randolph who came up from the switch and made a mid-range shot...hit!
When the extrajudicial fanatic turned around to pick up the ball, he realized that Liu Xiu had already moved to the middle. He patted himself on the head when he picked up the ball and ran out of the baseline.

This ball is so tense!

But this is not something that can be restrained if you want to restrain it. In the next few rounds, the extrajudicial fanatics reminded themselves not to be too nervous on the defensive end, but the more this happened, the more loopholes appeared on the defensive end.

And it wasn't just him who had this problem.

Ray Allen's usual defense is so stable that there are almost no risky defensive choices. He doesn't seek merit, but seeks no mistakes. Knowing that he is not the best defensive player, he strives to become an excellent defensive player who does not make mistakes.

But in the first half of the first quarter, he made risky defensive behaviors when he switched to Kobe twice.

Kobe had a keen sense of offense and grasped the mentality of the two defensive players of the Trail Blazers. He led his teammates to play a beautiful offense and scored 14 points in the first half of the first quarter.

On the defensive end, the Lakers did pretty well. Although Randolph scored 5 points in the half quarter and Liu Xiu scored 4 points in the half quarter, the Trail Blazers were only defended with 11 points in the half quarter.

14 to 11, the Lakers led the Trail Blazers by 3 points and entered the first official timeout.

...

"Use Bryant and Odom to defend the Warden pick-and-roll offense, butcher singles use Odom to defend the mid-range and short-range shots, Wang shrinks to protect the frame, and the others are responsible for cutting off the pass and receiving routes, and let our perimeter take the space. Pull away and give the warden and the butcher a single chance... Morris, what a bold defense." The coach said and looked at the coach.

Maurice Cheeks curled his lips and replied: "I didn't expect them to dare to play a player who can score 76 points in a single game. It's because our preparations were not thorough enough."

The glove interjected: "The reason we lag behind is defense. The main thing is that the Lakers' best defensive player is their best offensive player. When Bryant defends the warden, he is not afraid at all. He will strictly implement the coach's instructions." Defensive setup, as long as he thinks it's right...Because even if it doesn't guard Warden, he's confident he can get more points...If our best perimeter defender is Warden, Warden guards Bryan Special, he will not be intimidated by the opponent.

The most troubling thing now is that the three of them, Fantastic, Ray, and DeShawn, are too concerned about their own "don't be afraid". It's not scary for them to prevent Bryant. To care about Bryant's pass, the result was not done well. "

"That's right, I think so too. This is a difficult problem to solve." Bu Shuai echoed.

Morris Cheeks frowned: "Is it difficult to solve?"

Bu Shuai nodded: "Yes, it's difficult to solve. It's not about tactics, but about psychology."

Maurice Cheeks rubbed his stubble and said, "Why do I think it's easy... Warden, how do you think we should defend against the Lakers' offense?"

Liu Xiugang ate three candied haws, and gave the remaining two to the outlaw lunatic and Stevenson.

Hearing the coach's question, he replied: "I can't defend, our defensive preparation is a bit problematic."

Maurice Cheeks grinned: "You can see it too? Jeff, I also think there is something wrong with your defensive preparation."

When his professional ability was questioned, Bu Shuai yelled: "What do you think is wrong with my strategy of defending the triangle offense?"

Liu Xiu spread his hands and tilted his neck and responded, "The Lakers are not playing the triangle offense, but Princeton."

Bu Shuai, who was angry because his professional ability was questioned, opened his eyes wide, and he said that the feeling was subtle.

But if you don't think in that direction, it's hard to find out.

And the Lakers as a whole must be playing a triangle offense, but the starting lineup... Shuai quickly recalled, it is really not a triangle offense!It's Princeton with a pair of twin towers with a combined average of 7+ assists per game as the core!
Princeton's style of play with the starting lineup averaging 18+ assists per game!
Maurice Cheeks said to the shut down Shuai: "Jeff, you should think about how to defend first, Lionel, and arrange the offense."

Huo Tu received an order from the coach a few minutes ago and began to deploy tactics against the Lakers' defense.

Liu Xiu was extremely excited when he heard the tactical arrangement.

Face to face with God!
