Chapter 54 Create a new strategy!Triangle offense!

Zheng Long really wants to say, you are indeed dazzled, I am not Mai Kou, I am Red Scarf.

But Old Winter walked towards Butler tremblingly.The scene is very happy, the players wink at Butler, except Butler looks embarrassed.

Zheng Long seriously doubts whether the old and dim-witted old Winter can understand the triangle offensive tactics.

A few minutes later, Old Winter conquered every player present with his professional knowledge and detailed explanation.

His articulation is a little unclear, but every time he talks about the key points, he can always express it in the simplest and clearest way.

After all, this is something that has accompanied him for most of his life.

The players were divided into the starting team and the bench for practice, and Butler and Jokic quickly adapted and mastered certain tricks.

As for Zheng Long?He already has the muscle memory of the triangle offense in his bones.

After a morning of training, the initial results were achieved, and the players basically mastered the core of this tactic.

Next, it is necessary to continuously strengthen the tacit understanding and pass the tempering of actual combat.

"This group of kids is really good. Their golf quotient is very high, no less than Kobe's."

"I can imagine that you must have put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes to guide."

"You are an excellent head coach, Mr. Walton, no wonder you can lead the team to seven consecutive victories."

Old Winter was full of praise, and he didn't forget to praise Wharton by the way, the corner of Wharton's mouth could hardly be suppressed.

"No, no, you are too famous. You taught well! I almost did nothing, and they won the game."

"Hahaha, you are the most humble head coach I have ever seen, Mr. Walton, unfortunately I am old and have no chance to work with you."

For several days, the players have been working hard on this offensive tactical system and can't wait to use it.

The opportunity came quickly. On November 11, they ushered in the opportunity to play against the Utah Jazz at home.

At the end of the last century, the Jazz once dominated the West, relying on the "Utah Shuangsha" and the Bulls to join the finals twice, and won the honor of the NBA's annual runner-up.

James: When is the overall runner-up considered an honor?

Ma Long: If you say it again, I will elbow you!

After the engine duo left the Jazz, they relied on the 05 pick "Fatty" Deron Williams to support the playoffs.

Then the team chose to enter the reconstruction period in 10 years. This reconstruction period is a bit long.

The Jazz have not touched the playoff floor for five consecutive seasons.

Such a weak team can just be used as a whetstone for the Lakers' triangle tactics in actual combat.

Before the game, some Lakers fans had already shouted the slogan of eight consecutive victories.

As a result, the Lakers stumbled in the first quarter and fell behind the Jazz by 5 points. "Eagle King" Joe Johnson burned his last light in the Jazz, suddenly broke out and scored 19 points in a single quarter.

On the Lakers side, they practiced the triangle offensive tactics in the offensive rounds unhurriedly.It's one thing to be perfect in training, quite another in actual combat.

On the contrary, the team's offensive efficiency dropped sharply.

When a player encounters one-on-one marking, it is even more challenging for the player to find the right passing opportunity and timing.

When the head coach of the Jazz, Quin Snyder, saw the clues and found that the Lakers used the Jazz as a "soft persimmon" and wanted to manipulate them wantonly to hone their tactics, he was furious and used his greatest strength during the timeout. The voice inspires the players.

Usually, we refer to this situation as impotent rage.

Fortunately, the players of the Jazz are also eager for victory.

In the second quarter, the Jazz broke out with more people, and Qiao Xie was forced in singles, but Ingles scored 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, scoring 15 points, and Gonggong Hai also scored 3 three-pointers , scored 9 points, and the two helped the Jazz continue to stabilize their lead.

During the intermission, Walton was so anxious that he was sweating, and called on the players to stop the training of the triangle offensive tactics and find a way to win the ball first.

Walton really wanted to shout out the words he used to say in the locker room, "Give the ball to Zheng Long and it's over."

But this will damage his image in front of new players.

This head coach seems to have nothing.

Fortunately, Zheng Long and Butler showed their strength one after another, taking turns to play singles, stabilizing the situation and helping the team tie the score in the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers not only stabilized the situation, but also gradually expanded the score, but no one in the Jazz could stand up.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Lakers easily won the Utah Jazz with a score of 110:101.

This is the Jazz team today. Without a real star as the backing support, when faced with adversity, it collapsed in an instant.

This is also the epitome of the Jazz for years to come.

Even if they finish first in the league, you want your home team to catch them in the playoffs.

Because they are typical, typical representatives who can win in the regular season, but can't handle it in the playoffs.

Lakers fans excitedly celebrated the home team's victory at home.

Eight straight wins!
With a 100% winning rate, the Lakers are firmly in the top spot in the Western Conference!

After the game, some professional reporters understood what the Lakers did on the court today.

The Lakers want to use the triangle offensive system to build the team!
"Yes, yes, the team is looking for the best tactics for the current lineup."

Wharton readily acknowledges this.

In the NBA, there is nothing to hide about tactics, because the results of tactics depend on the performance of players.

It's like the simplest high pick-and-roll tactic.

If you ask the prince "Wiseman" to come over, he won't understand the game, but Bogut can help Curry stabilize an open shot space.

Of course, Bogut is already a dead man, and Wiseman is still killing the Quartet on the high school team, waiting to enter the NBA as the No. [-] pick in the future.

Now the Lakers have long been the research object of all teams, and the new tactics shown by the Lakers have aroused the vigilance of all Western teams.

Triangle tactics are complicated for fans to talk about, but it is a compulsory course for every head coach.

But the reason why no team adopts triangle tactics is that this offensive system has too high requirements on the player's ball quotient and strong personal ability.

Everyone must be able to play and pass.

And for a team like the Warriors with two historical three-point shooters, three-pointers and cut-in tactics are their mainstream offensive methods, which are not only more suitable, but also more efficient.

Tactics are not the key to other teams' fear of the Lakers.

The key is that they are worried that Zheng Long, Butler and Jokic, after perfectly adapting to the tactics, will show the dominance of the Bulls Iron Triangle.

Now, no one dares to ignore the Lakers.

On November 11, the Lakers once again ushered in their old rival, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Although this is a back-to-back game and an away game, the arena is still at the Staples Center.

During the period of the Lakers' Eastern Expedition, the Los Angeles Clippers made a big killing in the West.

Although they lost to the Lakers in the first game of the season, they won 6 of the next 5 games.

The fall of the Los Angeles city war once again ignited the city.

The Lakers have proved through eight consecutive victories that the old king of Los Angeles is back!
Under the packaging of the media, the Los Angeles Clippers turned into a vassal who failed the rebellion and made a comeback!

Staples Arena.

Live broadcast across the United States!

This time, Big Mouth Kenny Smith started his prediction again before the game.

"The Lakers, who have won 8 consecutive victories, seem unstoppable, but don't forget, they haven't encountered a real strong team yet."

"Obviously, the Clippers, which have been honed after the start of the game, are completely different from those teams that the Lakers have encountered before."

"Will they end the Lakers' winning streak? I don't know, but there's a good chance."

This caused dissatisfaction among the audience.

Kenny insinuated that the Lakers did not meet a real strong team on their road trip in the East.

Will this hard-talking guy yelling "Lakers championship" firmly kill him?

That's true for Kenny.

He also has his own little Jiujiu, Zheng Long is too much like that man. After Jordan retired, Kenny followed the Rockets to win the NBA championship in 1994 and 1995.

But there is always a voice from the outside world, saying that the Rockets won two championships by chance because Jordan was not there. This kind of statement made Kenny feel stuck in his throat.

Pre-match press conference.

Doc Rivers didn't show his iconic smile. He was under a lot of pressure in today's game.

The Clippers are in a hot state now. If they lose to the Lakers who are back-to-back + honing the new lineup, it will definitely have a major impact on morale.

But Rivers has no determination to win.

The scene of double-teaming Zheng Long in the last game, but still not being able to limit Zheng Long leading the team to win the game is still vivid in my mind.

In contrast to Wharton.

With a relaxed expression on his face.

It's not that Wharton thinks victory is within easy reach, but that he has already figured it out.

The team's goal now is by no means to pursue a winning streak.

Winning streaks are exhausting, both physically and mentally.

Quick break-in is the key.

And back-to-back games are really tiring, the players are in a very average state, and Jokic yawns in the locker room.

Before leaving the locker room, Walton had already told the players, just do your best in this game, don't force it.

In particular, if you feel unwell, report it in time.

Intensive competitions will keep athletes' bodies in a sub-healthy state for a long time, and injuries are most likely to happen at this time.

It is consistent with the performance of the head coaches of both sides.

The atmosphere in the locker rooms of both sides was completely opposite at this time.

Inside the Clippers locker room.

Represented by Chris Paul, the players all had dark faces and heavy hearts.

Especially Griffin.

During warm-ups before returning to the locker room, he was surprised to see Kendall Jenner in the front row of the auditorium.

Originally, Griffin wanted to say hello to a gentleman, but Jenna didn't even look at him at all, and flirted with Zheng Long there.

This gave Griffin secondary damage.

"Today, we must win the game at all costs!"

Griffin slapped his thigh and shouted in the locker room.

Normally in the Clippers locker room, Paul would fill that role.

Paul looked at Griffin with relief, feeling like an old father finally looking forward to his son's early childhood, and he was the first to respond to Griffin's call.

"Big victory over the Lakers, a complete shame!"

In an instant, the Clippers locker room became the scene of the swearing-in meeting, and the sound of slogans echoed in the locker room.

the other side.

Lakers locker room.

"I'm so tired, I really want to show off, I don't want to go to work."

Jokic was looking up to the sky and sighing, and took a sip of a bottle of iced Coke, drinking the Coke like beer.

For his "oversized", the ordinary Coke bottle is like Huoxiangzhengqi water in his hand.

Butler couldn't help teasing Jokic: "It's okay not to go to work, little fat man, as long as you have a rich dad, you can show it off."

Jokic gave Butler a white look, and said, "Then I still can't do it. My family is poor, unlike you, and my father is Jordan."

"Fuck! Your father is Jordan! Your whole family is Jordan!"

The players in the locker room laughed.

Zheng Long also finds it very interesting, if the NBA is likened to a workplace.

Butler is the kind of worker who will try his best to achieve and complete no matter what goals and tasks the boss sets.

As for Jokic, perhaps because he is from Europe, he is like a worker in the team, whenever the boss makes some unreasonable demands, he is the first to object, or always has to say a few words.

The game was about to start, Zheng Long followed the team to the player tunnel, and happened to meet the Clippers players.

Griffin and others cast a malicious look at Zheng Long.

Maybe it was influenced by the slogan chanted in the locker room just now.

Griffin was excited.

He took the initiative to talk to Zheng Long and provoke him: "Today, I will let you leave Staples crying!"

Zheng Long shot back, "Really? Jenna told me..."

In fact, this is a non-existent thing.

Zheng Long knew that Jenna had never established a relationship with Griffin at all.

But since Griffin took the initiative to provoke, Zheng Long didn't mind disgusting the white monster.

Zheng Long said these words very loudly, and the players in the entire player tunnel heard them.

The Clippers players looked at Griffin strangely. Didn't expect that there is such a relationship between him and Zheng Long?
As for the Lakers, the players who are eating melons and watching the show don't turn their heads and laugh wildly.

These words are no less harmful to a man than .
With just one sentence, Zheng Long made Griffin break through.

Griffin's face flushed instantly.

"Nonsense! You're farting! Fuck you! I. I wasn't even with Jenna."

Griffin stopped abruptly, glanced at Paul, and remembered the cowhide he and Paul had blown.

What did you say that when you are with Jenna, you will become a seven-night man.

Paul looked at his little brother with resentful eyes.

Griffin is not explaining now, nor is he not explaining, he rushed out of the player channel dully.

I want to vent this anger on the court!

And he did.

When the game started, Jordan helped the Clippers win the ball, and Paul held the ball to advance the organization to launch a fast break.

He tossed the ball toward the backboard, and Nance Jr. couldn't stop the angry white monster.

Griffin held the sky with one arm and completed the alley-oop hard.

Bang!
After landing, Griffin yelled wantonly at Zheng Long!

The wrath of the white monster resounded through the arena!
In the first offensive round, Griffin lit the Staples Arena!
Clippers 2: 0 Lakers!

"Oh ho ho! Dunk dunk full of power!"

"Griffin continued the fiery touch of the previous games!"

"Take the lead to give the Clippers a two-point lead!"

The home commentator was also amazed.

In the offensive round of the Lakers, Zheng Long was not in a hurry to ask for the ball to respond to Griffin's provocation.

That's not worth mentioning at all.

While the basketball was taken across the half court by Oladipo, the Lakers players quickly settled down, forming a triangle on the left side with Zheng Long's flank-Butler's bottom corner-Jokic's position outside the penalty area.

At the same time, Nance Jr. stood outside the penalty area on the right.

This framework is the basic position of the triangle offensive tactics developed by the Lakers.

Oladipo has two options at this time. The first option is to pass the ball to Nance Jr., cooperate with Nance Jr., and slide in from the bottom line on the right.

The second option is to give the ball to Zheng Long.

But now Nance Jr. is facing Griffin, and Nance Jr.'s singles ability with the ball behind him is too weak.

Oladipo's choice was to give the ball to Zheng Long. After the basketball shot was given to Zheng Long, Oladipo quickly ran away to create space for Zheng Long.

After catching the ball, Zheng Long also had many choices in his mind.

First, break through by yourself, single-handedly hit Redick, and make a shot.

Second, if Mbah a Moute defending Butler in the bottom corner or Paul defending Oladipo chooses to assist Redick in the defense, then he can pass the ball directly to Butler or Oladipo.

Let the two without one-on-one marking directly shoot.

Third, he breaks through the penalty area and attracts Jordan's supplementary defense. At the same time, Jokic will also enter the basket. At this time, he passes the ball directly to Jokic. Jokic without Jordan's defense, Can easily get the ball into the basket.

Fourth, give the ball to Butler, run to the bottom corner, cover Butler, let Butler run from the baseline to the wing, looking for a shot.

Fifth, give the ball to Jokic, let Jokic play Jordan alone, whether it is Redick or Mbah a Moute chooses to assist Jordan to double-team Jokic, Jokic can shoot to Butler and Zheng Long .

This is the core idea of ​​a basic triangle offense, and some commonly used changes.

In fact, a simple conclusion can be drawn through analysis, and the core of the triangle offensive tactic is one.

To maximize the star's individual singles ability, always prepare the two nearest pass shooting points for the star, so that when the star is double-teamed, he can smoothly find the released teammate.

This is why Walton feels that the current Lakers are most suitable for the triangle offense.

Zheng Long, Butler, and Jokic all have the ability to play singles, and they are the team's offensive strength when the opponent is not helping to defend.

But in the face of double-teaming, if the three of them form a close cooperation and connection, the offensive efficiency can continue.

When Zheng Long received the ball, Mbah a Moute really moved his position and came forward to help defend with JJ Redick.

Although the last game couldn't be covered, the bag still has to be packed!
This is also the tactic Rivers arranged before the game.

However, unlike the previous game, Zheng Long directly chose to pass the ball.

Butler has caught the gap between Mbah a Moute's movement, slid the bottom line to the mid-range position, and received a pass from Zheng Long.

Stop jump shot!Two points scored steadily!
Clippers 2:2 Lakers!

On the sidelines, Rivers' heart skipped a beat. How did this kid start passing the ball? !
　June is coming, make a small wish, next month, there will be eight thousand days!
