Chapter 348 Lakers Championship

Timeout, the Lakers will return to the bench.

Su Yang put down the tactical board handed over by Mike Brown, put his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "I must say, the Jazz are a very traditional team, Tyrone Corbin is a very traditional coach, so I bet they will have these next Adjustment…"

Originally, I didn’t want to publicly comment on other coaches, which seemed a bit insincere, but Su Yang thought about it: Phil Jackson once said that Rivers’ team is good at being reversed in order to encourage the Lakers to keep chasing points during the Lakers timeout...

Since Phil Jackson said it, then I said it.

As for the previous games of the Jazz, Su Yang led the coaching staff to do a lot of analysis, and he was very sure that his head coach Tyrone Corbin was the type of "if the opponent throws a fist, I will throw cloth, and if the opponent fights back with scissors, I will use a rock to suppress it" Moderate type.

Su Yang is different. If the opponent uses a stone to attack, he may take out a hammer and smash it to pieces.

Specifically, when it comes to Curry's three consecutive three-pointers, Tyrone Corbin will definitely let the Jazz's big man grab and delay Curry's shot.

And when Curry doesn't have the ball, he will probably increase his defensive attention. It may be a dedicated man-mark, or he may change every screen.

But the Jazz will probably think that Curry is lucky, and they haven't realized how fast Curry's shots are.

Of course, Curry was indeed lucky, so he suddenly stole the ball from Harris, and the timing was a little bit close to impossible.

If the three-pointer hadn't been made and the Jazz were only 17 points behind, the game between the two teams would have been very different from what it is now.

After thinking twice, Su Yang still decided to match a few players who are suitable for Curry to be double-teamed, and push fast breaks and run air cuts together.

"Barnes replaces Kobe, Diaw replaces Artest, Hill replaces Gasol, we play faster, try to seek early offensive opportunities, and use two-three defenses on the defensive end, just limit their paint area, don't worry about three-pointers , because they made 31.6% of their three-pointers throughout the season, only 20% in the first three games of this round of the series, and they are only 4 for 0 currently..."

Between the words, Su Yang finished the tactical arrangement and the rotation of the substitutes, and all the Lakers nodded to express their understanding.

The whistle for the end of the pause followed.

The game continued, and the Jazz also made personnel challenges. The five were Al Jefferson, Derek Favors, Gordon Hayward, Josh Howard, and Jamal Tinsley. It is necessary to focus on high and low linkage routines.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle for kick-off.

There were bursts of cheers and cheers in the arena, point guard Jamal dribbled the ball forward, and the other Jazz players settled down.

Seeing the Lakers put up a two-three defensive formation, it may be because they are under 20 points and the pressure is too great. Although Jamal is a veteran, he is also a little panicked. He subconsciously slows down at the center line and turns to look at the Jazz. Make suggestions.

But for some reason, Jazz coach Tyrone didn't respond, so Jamal had to turn around and call for a high elbow screen.

The purpose of doing high screens is to gain space at 45 degrees, because 45 degrees is the weakest area for the second and third defenses.

Typically, such screens are the center's responsibility.

But Al Jefferson has no long-range shooting ability, and his air-cutting level is considered third-rate. When it comes to high-post screens, it can be said that there is no threat.

The burden of breaking the zone defense fell to power forward Derek Favors. As a second-year rookie, he bit the bullet and raised it.

First the back screen, and then cooperating with Hayward to cast a chin screen. After some frantic operations, Favors finally helped Jamal slip to the 45-point line on the right. However, the Lakers will follow Su Yang's arrangement and ignore the potential three-pointer. Very threatening, dead defense Hayward.

Hayward faced Curry and Diaw's attack, and Hill, who was eyeing him, jumped up and threw the ball at Jamal.

As a 33-year-old veteran who only made 27% of his three-pointers throughout the season and averaged 1.0 key shots per game, Jamal was in a trance after receiving a pass from Hayward, but there was not much offensive time left and open opportunities were rare, so he still gritted his teeth shot.

when!Three points hit the basket and hit the iron.

Mike Roberts jumped up and grabbed the rebound, turned around and handed it to the nearest Dior, and then started to use it quickly.

There were boos everywhere in the arena, the Lakers went down the third line quickly, Roberts went to the right, Diaw with the ball went to the middle, and Curry went to the right.

But in addition to Jamal, who should be marking Curry, Diaw's defender Hayward is also distracted by Curry's movements.

In the blink of an eye, Diaw took the opportunity to speed up and dash, completely got rid of Hayward and entered the paint area, scoring an easy layup.

The booing from the Energy Solution Center stopped abruptly, and the audience was dumbfounded, why the Jazz players completely let Dior go.

On the Jazz side, head coach Tyrone Corbin was stunned, as if he had never seen such a surprising scene before, and he was also dumbfounded.

The generals on the Lakers bench were also a little confused, Su Yang smiled and said: "This is Curry Gravity, Curry Gravity!"

"Do you think I'm joking when I say I'm willing to give him [-] screens?" Artest laughed, then turned to look at Kobe, "Brother, after this game is over, you will be the most double-teamed person in the team. Frequent players, they definitely double-team Curry..."

"Aha..." Kobe also smiled, it seemed that he was a bit reluctant to be treated as a key defense, and he was actually a little disappointed.

Su Yang heard the words and imagined that the update and upgrade of the playoffs will get a Kobe who is not focused on defense, that is too strong.

While thinking about it, the audience sighed again.

The Jazz couldn't break through the Lakers' 23-zone defense. The Cross tactic had already been used, but the three-pointer was useless.

Hill caught the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Curry. The Lakers launched a third-line fast-break counterattack again, and the audience booed wildly.

The Jazz were prepared and did not give an early offensive opportunity. Seeing this, Curry raised his hand and called Hill to the top of the arc to do a pick-and-roll.

As Su Yang predicted, Al Jefferson dragged his heavy weight and moved sideways, while Hill took the opportunity to turn around and cut.

Curry took off at the same time and raised his hand to pass the ball. Hill caught the ball and took three steps.

The wild boos of the audience stopped suddenly, and the audience was once again surrounded.

Why does the Lakers play as simple as a training game, and the most painful thing is that the Jazz are as cooperative as they are playing a training game, tough.

Looking at the stunned eyes of the audience, Su Yang suddenly thought of some keyboard warriors on the Internet. After watching Jordan's video collection for a few minutes, he couldn't wait to speak nonsense, saying that Jordan is very ordinary in the 21st century, because those defenders in the 90s, in the When defending Jordan's offense, he spent most of his time walking, and the Pistons' malicious fouls were a little more troublesome.

Those keyboard warriors don't understand what it means to freeze a defender at all, and they don't even understand why O'Neill is so tough in the low post.

After thinking about it, the Jazz buzzed for 24 seconds, and finally scored two points through Hayward, ending a scoring drought of up to 3 minutes.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and the Jazz player Jamal suddenly changed his defensive strategy, gave up running forward, and led the defense against Curry.

Curry didn't bother, and waved his hand to let Dior take the ball, then ran to the frontcourt and went straight to the left corner.

The Lakers started with an inside and four outside formation. Diaw dribbled the ball and stopped at the top of the arc. He didn't call tactics and planned to find Hill as a cover first.

At the same time, Roberts, who was at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, started to run towards Curry, who was oncoming from the left bottom corner, and the two did a classic split.Perhaps the quality of Roberts' cover was too high, making it difficult for Jamal to catch up, or it may be that the Jazz themselves had arrangements to mark Curry first. Favors, who was originally responsible for defending Roberts, took the initiative to switch defenses and delay Curry.

Favors moved very quickly, but McRoberts found that there was no defense for the time being, so he started and rushed to the basket without hesitation.

Seeing this, Dior gave up looking for a screen, raised his hand and hit the ground vigorously to pass the ball, while the area under the Jazz's basket was empty at this time.Mike Roberts took the ball and kicked off the ground, aimed at the basket and made a powerful split dunk. The Lakers led 35 to 11.

Compared with Hayward's difficult 24-second buzzer, the Lakers relied on Curry to contain the offense and scored easily in 10 seconds.

"Kuyou's gravity is working again!" Su Yang led the Lakers to applaud in unison, and the whole team's momentum was full.

The first quarter of the game was over in a blink of an eye, and the two teams entered the stage of pure substitute confrontation. Kuyou's gravity continued to play a role, and the Lakers' lead was further expanded. At the end of the halftime game, they had as many as 30 points, but the Jazz had no momentum, and the second half turned into garbage time. .

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Jazz 114-83, swept 4-0, and advanced strongly to the second round of the Western Conference Finals.

In the whole game, Curry played 18 minutes off the bench, made 5 of 4 three-pointers, and scored a total of 17 points and 7 assists.

Social platforms such as Twitter and Weibo sparked heated discussions. Some fans said that Curry's value is not reflected by that piece of data.

Some fans also said that the easy sweep and promotion in the first round represented the return of the Lakers to their peak state, and they should shout those five words loudly.

　Greedy for cheap and eat a junk takeaway with a stomachache, so it won't be three o'clock today.
