Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 224
Zhao Hao thought about it. The Lakers' tactics have always been to let Kobe sort out the offense in the first half of the first quarter, while Odom and Butler are more involved in scoring.

But in the middle and late part of the first quarter, the Lakers immediately took Zhao Hao and started to beat the dead five!

At this time, the focus of the Lakers' offense is Kobe's singles, and Zhao Hao and Odom's interspersed offense.

In the second quarter, it was Butler and Divac who led the team and began to play the Princeton system.

This time period is also when the Spurs began to widen the point difference in this round of the series.

To be honest, the Princeton system with Butler and Divac at its core is really not playing well!

The biggest problem is that Butler is not good at running Princeton.

In the third and fourth quarters, the Lakers began to play more of the five small lineups, allowing Grant and Odom to intersect as big centers inside.

And Grant, who has always been good at defense, can't defend Duncan at all, and he doesn't have Odom's ability to shoot from outside on the offensive end.

Therefore, this is also the time period when the Lakers were once again opened up.

"Let Divac start, advance the Princeton system, let Butler participate more in off-ball pick-and-rolls.

That's the only way we can keep up with the Spurs' offense. "

This was the only way Zhao Hao could think of.

Hamblen hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Can't we not limit the Spurs' offense and focus on defense?"

What the hell!

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Hao wanted to curse.

Haven't you Hamblen seen that the Lakers can't limit the Spurs' offense at all, let alone Duncan's performance?
Well, Zhao Hao also admitted that the coaches of this era really pay special attention to defense.

Therefore, most of the methods they can think of are how to improve the defensive strength on the court.

Of course, the head coach of the Suns next door, D'Antoni, must be removed.

The blind throwing tactics he will create in the future are also to improve offensive efficiency and win the game.

Seeing Zhao Hao looking at him silently, Hamblen also reacted instantly.

"After taking the Princeton system ahead of schedule, how will we play later?"

Zhao Hao continued: "Except for the first half of the second quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, our rotation remains the same at other times!

But these two times, we can no longer let Butler lead the team.

Put meme on, we hit the inside! "

Ok? !

Hearing this analysis, Hamblen looked at Zhao Hao with little eyes that were astonishing.

How did you come up with this!

After all, the Spurs Duncan was not on the court during these two time periods, and their defensive strength will also drop slightly.

This is also the reason why the Spurs mainly focused on Parker and Ginobili's offense during this time period.

Because they also know very well that without Duncan sitting on the inside, their defense will really drop a lot, and it is impossible to win the game relying on defense.

Especially inside!
Although Mihm's defense is terrible, his offense is okay.

For example, that top hook move.
Well, Hamblon got real.

Mimm's hook can only be considered slightly higher than the league average, and it has not yet reached the point where it can change the situation.

But I have to say that this style of play is indeed better than the current Lakers who have been losing points at this stage!
Game [-] of the playoffs!

The Lakers continue to play against the Spurs at home.

Interview before the game.

"Coach Popovich, as we all know, this year's Spurs are very strong, and the Lakers are not your opponents at all.

So how much effort will the Spurs use in today's game? "

Hearing this question full of traps, the old man wanted to say, how many years have I been in the rivers and lakes, which reporter are you still trying to trick me?
However, it is true that the Spurs are strong, and it is true that the Lakers are not their opponent.

"The Lakers are a very tenacious team. Kobe is also the leading scorer in the league this season. They also have Zhao Hao who won both the best sixth man and the best rookie.

In short, we will not underestimate them.

In particular, their pioneering five-small lineup play this season has indeed brought a lot of trouble to the teams in the league. "

Popovich's words were very official, and he didn't give the reporter an opportunity.

Everyone knows Kobe's strength. If it weren't for the Spurs' defensive leader Bowen, the old man really wouldn't dare to restrict Kobe in a one-on-one way.

In addition, the Lakers still have a three-pointer Zhao Hao, especially the ultra-long three-pointer.
Now the old man feels very angry when he thinks of this guy's ultra-long three-pointer.

That guy shoots too far, and he shoots too well!
If it weren't for this, the 23-zone defense tactic he specially created for the team would be the league's biggest defensive weapon.

Except for the terrifying iron bucket formation of the Pistons, there is really no other team in the league that can match it!
Fortunately, the Lakers' inside defense is really like paper.

Otherwise, Popovich is really a bit of a dead five for the Lakers.

Get back on the court.

The big screen overhead showed the starting lineups of the two teams.

"Wait, the Lakers have changed!"

Kenny Smith was the first to notice this, and then quickly started talking into the microphone.

"That's really the last thing this Lakers team can do at the moment.

They have verified that it is really impossible to limit Tim Duncan's performance by foul tactics alone, and it is impossible to win the game. "

The groom Albert next to him also took a look at the changes in the Lakers lineup, and he suddenly had doubts.

"They took Mihm, they took Divac, what does that mean?
You must know that Divac moves very slowly because of his age. It is not a good idea to let him restrict Duncan! "

The same question arises from Popovich on the sidelines.

The young Divac is indeed an All-Star center in the Western Conference. Whether it is defense or offense, he is considered to be at the forefront of the league.

If he was at that age, he might really bring some troubles to Duncan, but now
Popovich couldn't help but shook his head and hummed softly.

"The Lakers who went to the doctor in an emergency!"

On the court, the game begins.

Divac did not take off and gave the ball directly to Spurs center Rasunestlovic.

Kenny Smith at the commentary desk almost burst into tears when he saw this scene, and started talking directly.

"The Lakers probably got a grandfather Divac to start the team. He can't even jump up. How can he play this game."

The Spurs still focus on the inside offense.

Duncan received the ball from the horns and went straight to the inside.

Ok? !

Didn't go in!

At this time Duncan has found out!

Divac is always old, he can't jump up anymore, and his steps are slow, but his body and strength are still there!
He wants to back up Mim and Odom like he did before, but it's really not that easy.

Duncan is also worthy of being the top superstar in NBA history. After reading Divac's defensive ability, he immediately changed his offensive method.

Turn around the face frame!
"Yo, this is the first time Duncan has faced the frame in this series.

After all, it was too easy for him to play back against the Lakers before, so there is no need to change the game style at all. "
