Chapter 296 Welcome back to the era ruled by the Lakers
After Su Yang finished speaking, the Lakers' bench seemed to be silenced and frozen for an instant, and everyone froze in place without speaking.

The veteran Fisher with the strongest psychological quality raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that this coach is really fierce, and he publicly criticized Kobe when he first came.

The three rookies of Goodlock were completely confused, a little bit afraid to show their atmosphere, and their eyes flicked back and forth between Su Yang and Kobe.

After a while, Kobe, who had been silent for a while, let out a long breath: "Do you think there is something wrong with my defensive choice?"

"Of course there are problems..."

Su Yang went on to say: "After the delay in the first attempt to switch defenses, you should return to the defense immediately to catch up and make sure to keep up with Hamilton. Whether you think his three-point shooting rate is low or you judge that Luol Deng may break through with the ball, it is ineffective. s Choice!"

Kobe is a video madman. Su Yang not only heard about it, but also encountered Kobe watching the video to analyze his opponent several times. He guessed that Kobe was probably sure about how the opponent would attack and planned to make arrangements in advance, not to mention that he liked the sense of oppression.

"The second time you're not supposed to get into the paint early, that messes us up defensively, and I know you're probably worried that after Luol Deng makes the long lob, Boozer can get to the rim easily, but that's not it. What you should consider at this time point, you have to believe in Artest and Gasol, even if you make a mistake, just point it out!"

After the words fell, the atmosphere on the Lakers bench became even more awkward.

Especially Gasol and Artest, Su Yang directly pointed out that Kobe may not trust their defensive ability.

Fortunately, Su Yang spoke vaguely, and also pointed out that Kobe considered too much and worried too early, which was an overreaction.

"Actually, I'm just slow to retreat..."

Kobe curled his lips and shrugged, "I understand your worries, I can do better, just wait and see, don't worry."

Those kind of words obviously didn't take leaking people seriously.

After all, Kobe lost the ball in the backcourt and chased all the way to the frontcourt to complete the block. Sometimes being faster can really solve the problem.

It's a bit of a habit, it's muscle memory.

Su Yang immediately shook his head: "Of course I know that you can be faster and stronger, but you will waste a lot of energy if you do that, it will easily make it difficult for you to adapt when you need to attack more difficultly, and it will be easy to transfer the price to your teammates, such as Bynum just now blocking foul.

Bynum's importance to our defense cannot be overstated. He can no longer be troubled by fouls like he has been in previous seasons.

The key is that you did not implement the defensive strategy arranged before the game. We have determined to limit the Bulls' passing.

You didn't do that, you didn't get in sync with the team and if you didn't agree with that strategy, you should have said that upfront. "

After an analysis, Kobe was silent again.

The other players of the Lakers began to think instead. Su Yang did emphasize to limit the Bulls' passing before the game, and the Bulls scored twice just now, all because Luol Deng easily completed a large-scale transfer pass, which quickly collapsed the Lakers' defensive formation .

"I think it makes sense..." Gasol interjected. "We should stick together and work together more."

"I also agree with the coach's point of view." Artest said, "Kobe, I can handle Luol Deng 100%, don't worry."

Fisher didn't speak, but raised his hand lightly on Kobe's shoulder with a smile, as if everything was said in silence.

After a while, Kobe nodded and said: "Then follow the strategy formulated before the game, is there any problem?"

Hearing such an inquiry, Su Yang knew that Kobe was still a little unconvinced. He wanted to take the initiative in his words, so he ignored the inquiry and turned to Bynum and said: "When Noah stays in a high position to support, you can stay away a little bit. Some…"

The whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, the game continued, and the players of the two teams returned to the field.

Seeing that the Lakers were going away, Snyder and Mike Brown reached out to give Su Yang a high-five, both of them had smiles on their faces.

Su Yang also nodded with a smile, knowing that the first step to keep Kobe healthy was completed ahead of schedule. If everything goes well, the next step is to let Kobe accept less playing in back-to-back away games. After all, due to the lockout, this season's schedule is very tight.

Especially after playing the Bulls, the Lakers have to play the Kings and Jazz consecutively, facing a super abnormal schedule of three days and three games.

The most difficult part of the whole plan is to allow Kobe to reasonably allocate the killer mentality that wants to defeat the opponent at all times. If you want to change it, you can’t change it. .

No way, Kobe is getting older and still has many old injuries. We can’t let the Achilles tendon rupture, knee tibia fracture in the left leg, and right rotator cuff tear happen. As long as Kobe stays healthy, even at the age of 38 Performance above the standard.

While thinking about it, the Lakers attacked on the court.

It was still UCLA making an empty cut, but Kobe was just a tactical bait. Gasol suddenly stopped and ran back when he was on the wall, and received a pass from Artest to hit the basket. Boozer, who was in charge of defense, also wanted to help Hamilton. Delay Kobe, no distractions.

Noah rushed to make up the defense, but Gasol seemed to have found the peak state of the Grizzlies, hitting high and scoring directly.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and the Bulls were still in the formation of 2 lower left and 2 upper right. Rose slowly dribbled the ball across the center line.

As before, Luol Deng used the cover of Boozer to go up, but Artest interfered in advance, forcing Boozer to go out.

Gasol followed up and delayed Luol Deng, causing the Bulls' lower right duo to all go up the line, and the offensive threat plummeted.

Seeing that there was no chance on the right side, Luol Deng dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, asked Noah to do a pick-and-roll, and completely got rid of Artest.

Bynum chose to stay at the free throw line, while Kobe turned around and stood up to help defend. The two presented a pincer attack on Luol Deng.

After only half a second of hesitation, Luol Deng didn't rush to shoot a three-pointer, and Artest quickly returned to the defense and continued to exert pressure.

The Bulls' offense came to a standstill. Luol Deng hurriedly turned to face the left side and cooperated hand-in-hand with the oncoming Hamilton, but Kobe resolutely squeezed through the screen to catch up. Artest also delayed a little and did not give Hamilton any space. .

The Bulls' offense stalled again, and there were only six seconds left in the attack time, and the basketball was transmitted to the right wing Rose.

Blake chose to take a half-step back to defend, but Rose still made a breakthrough in one step, reaching the right elbow in the blink of an eye.

Kobe was at the top of the arc, very close to Rose, but instead of intercepting in advance, he kept his eyes on Hamilton.

Gasol and Bynum simultaneously shrink to the basket to form an encirclement, which greatly increases the risk of Rose attacking the basket and has no chance to pass the ball.

In a hurry, Rose stopped jumping suddenly, carrying the interference of Blake on the right, and threw a fadeaway mid-range shot with extremely high difficulty.

The basketball rebounded with a bang, and Gasol jumped high and grabbed it in his hands. He landed and scanned the half court, vigorously hitting the center line.

Kobe, who was running fast, received the basketball and rushed forward, but suddenly threw the ball to the left sideline.

Blake, who was down at the same time, received the pass. Taking advantage of Rose's distraction from Kobe, he rushed into the paint with lightning speed and scored an easy layup.

The audience cheered and applauded, cheering for the Lakers to score 4 points in a row, and the Lakers will immediately set up a defensive formation.

The Bulls didn't think about it and couldn't make a fast break. The two teams fell into the offensive and defensive positions. The Lakers' twin towers had a great advantage, so they focused on passing the ball.

Kobe didn't overreact either, the Bulls couldn't stretch the defensive formation, they fiddled back and forth for a while, and Noah hit the iron with a mid-range shot.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound and counterattacked again. Kobe once again assisted Blake and quickly succeeded. The Lakers led 13 to 5.

The Bulls immediately asked for a timeout, and Van Gundy on the ESPN commentary said enviously: "Su Yang can always get the absolute support of the core players. Kobe's extremely reasonable style of play, please get ready to go back to the era when the Lakers ruled..."
