Chapter 320 Old Wine in New Wine

NO.15 At four o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Lakers team flew to San Antonio, preparing to play against the Spurs for the second time in three days.

After a fiasco on Valentine's Day night, Kobe held his breath and went to the hotel bus to ask how to adjust.

Su Yang smiled and said don't worry, the whole team then checked into the hotel to put away their luggage, and held a huge meeting with more than 20 participants
"The first problem is that it is difficult for Kobe to receive the pass comfortably, and he is prone to double-teaming after receiving it..."

At the beginning of the meeting, Su Yang directly pointed out the main problem that caused the fiasco. Kobe is the core of the Lakers' tactics. Once Kobe can't score efficiently, the Lakers as a whole will be affected. As long as this problem is solved, other offensive problems will be easily solved.

It was difficult for Bynum to get the ball inside. Part of the reason was that he couldn’t open the outside line. As a result, the Spurs became more accurate in predicting Bynum’s reception. Even if he got the ball, double-teaming became more decisive. The defensive pressure on Tom was great.

Conversely, Bynum's scoring efficiency inside is low, and the Spurs can devote more energy to defending the Lakers' outside offense.

In short, they are related to each other, but first of all, the problem of Kobe's difficulty in getting the ball must be solved, otherwise other ideas are useless.

"The main reason for this problem is that we underestimated the Spurs' desire to win and did not envisage their bold changes..."

Su Yang continued to explain that he did not expect the Spurs to arrange Leonard as the starting small forward, and together with Danny Green to limit Kobe, the effect is much better than Richard Jefferson as the starting small forward, and the Lakers had difficulty adapting for a while. .

The key point is that the arrangement of the Spurs allowed Richard Jefferson to team up with Ginobili on the bench, playing a chaotic rhythm that is very suitable for Richard Jefferson, which made it difficult for the Lakers to deal with the bench lineup, and the whole game was dominated by the Spurs. .

"What do you think about solving this problem? You can say whatever you want, starting from the coaching staff..."

Su Yang raised his hand to signal the assistants and players to speak. Although he already had a deduced strategy in his mind, he still had to involve the whole team. A strategy that was unanimously approved could be implemented better. Maybe there would be a better strategy, anyway. A few words of effort.

Snyder first said: "I suggest playing an inside and four outside formation, using space distance, fast conduction, and strong and weak side transfers to better allow Kobe to receive the ball and then launch an offense to lure the Spurs to shrink and create more. Easy shot."

Su Yang nodded to show that he understood that the disastrous defeat last night did not play a lot of inside and outside, but the Spurs also did a good job of restricting the pass. The key is that after the pass, Leonard, Green, and Parker will quickly rotate. The shooting pressure is also quite high.

What Snyder said is a [-]-[-] split decision, the efficiency is not too high, and it is difficult to exert an overwhelming advantage.

"I suggest more execution of double screens. We have two towers and have a great advantage in screens," assistant coach Mike Brown continued: "We didn't play too many double screens last night. superior."

Su Yang nodded again to express his understanding. The Spurs did see through the tactics many times in advance. In addition to Leonard switching defenses, and Duncan, Splitter and others helped delay the delay, Danny Green could always catch up with Kobe in time and maintain the match for a long time. Kobe interfered.

Double screens are great for delays, especially with the size of Gasol and Bynum.

But Mike Brown also used the word 'more' because the Lakers played double screens last night, but less often.

Su Yang’s consideration at the time was that the double screen required Bynum to provide the threat of going down to the basket, and Gasol provided the threat of mid-range and long-range shooting.

If the next game against the Spurs, Gasol and Bynum can provide a stable threat, it can indeed play more.

In short, it is still a matter of efficiency. Playing more double-screen tactics does not have an overwhelming advantage. You must always compete with the Spurs for details.

"I suggest simplifying the routine, let Kobe quickly enter the receiving position, quickly launch the offense, and don't give the Spurs so much reaction time..." Assistant coach Darwin Hamm said, "The Spurs have done a good job of rotating and filling, and we need to avoid getting into the quagmire."

Su Yang continued to nod to express his understanding. Hamm's method is feasible, but it is still a matter of efficiency. It would consume too much physical strength for Kobe. It would be no problem to switch to Kobe who is a few years younger. The key is that it is easy for Kobe to get ahead in the attack, and the corresponding risk is a bit high. .

After the assistant coach finished speaking, Su Yang turned his head to look at Kobe and other players, and raised his hand to signal if he had anything to say.

"I didn't mean to be disrespectful..."

Kobe looked at Su Yang and said seriously: "I am very convinced of the coaching ability of you and the coaching staff, but I think we can try some triangle offensive moves, which will be very helpful for me and Bynum to get the ball. Big help."

The meeting room suddenly became audible, and the atmosphere was a little tense, and the rookies such as Goodlock directly held their breath.

The boss of the team publicly said that the tactics of the previous coach would be of great help. Although he expressly convinced the current coach, it was still quite strange.

It's like in a couple, one person says to the other: I think you're fine, but my ex was fine in that, too.

This is the first time since the new season that Kobe and Su Yang have disagreements on tactics, which has never happened before when it comes to ball sharing.

"Of course you can try the triangle attack..."

Seeing everyone's nervousness, Su Yang said with a smile: "But that kind of strategy, like the strategy mentioned by the three assistant coaches, has not changed qualitatively. It is always necessary to compete with the Spurs in detail, execution, and real-time performance on the field, and the Spurs are particularly Good at detailing.

If the time goes back to 08, I will instruct you to kill the Spurs in a one-on-one mid-range shot. I believe you have the same ability now, but we need higher efficiency. Treat these games as a preview of the playoffs. Let you over consume. "

With those remarks, the tension in the conference room finally eased, and Kobe did not show any dissatisfaction.

If the Lakers want to go further in the playoffs, they must play with all their members. This time against the Spurs is a very good rehearsal opportunity.

So Su Yang decided to make a bold attempt to solve the fundamental problem that the overall lineup is not as strong as the Spurs.

Imagine Artest in 12 years at the level of 09, how dare the Spurs unscrupulously prioritize defense of Kobe.

Imagine that Blake is not injured or Fisher returns to his 09 form. The Lakers have a stable three-point support on the outside. How can the Spurs dare to shrink the inside without scruple?

"My idea is you go to play point guard, start with Goodlock, put enough pressure in the backcourt..."

Su Yang stared at Kobe and explained in detail, before playing against the Thunder, Kobe was allowed to play point guard for a few minutes, the effect was very good, this time he used it again, the purpose is to skip the link of letting Kobe catch the ball, and change from passive to active. Lead the rhythm.

The extra physical exertion of dribbling the ball across the half court may be a little less than going around screens and running a lot.

Goodlock's starting lineup provides a relatively stable three-point threat, and the offensive end can play a restraining role to a certain extent. As for the defensive end, at least the speed will not suffer as much as Fisher's, and it may cause Parker even bigger. Physical exertion.

"This operation can meet the needs of playing more one-in-four-out formations, and can better initiate double screens, and the offensive rhythm will be faster than before. The biggest problem is facing double teams. You need to shoot the ball as quickly as possible. Go in, otherwise it's useless.

In addition, Kobe himself can't always attack with double teams, he needs to share the ball more to avoid a vicious circle. "

After Su Yang finished speaking, the Lakers nodded one after another, knowing that Kobe would encounter a lot of double-teams when playing point guard, and they must provide support.

"I can, I was a point guard during the three consecutive championships, we can try this kind of thinking." Kobe said excitedly: "That way I can free up space near the paint area, so that Andrew and Paul can better position themselves ..."

After a deduction, everyone in the Lakers understood Kobe's idea of ​​playing point guard, and Gasol also put forward his ideas.

The focus of the discussion quickly shifted to the stage of the substitute duel. Su Yang really has no surprises, so he can only watch the situation on the spot.

The main Spurs' bench lineup includes Ginobili and Richard Jefferson, who have an almost overwhelming advantage. If they want to avoid losing points on the bench, both Jeremy Lin and Mike Roberts must be in a super state, and Barnes and others must also contribute firepower.

The meeting ended in a blink of an eye, Kobe was not idle, and took the initiative to take the whole team to the temporary training ground to practice shooting.

Su Yang returned to the room and called Pukucek to discuss the possibility of obtaining a stable 3D small forward.

　This chapter has been considered for a long time. The main concern is that everyone thinks it is a watery word count, and it seems that the stimulation point is indeed low, but I still decided to write it in detail.
