start with scouting

Chapter 361 Praise from the entire alliance (adding more for Yiyan)
With Harden making two free throws and Hill making a tip-up, the Lakers led 38-26 after the first quarter.

The five of Kobe returned to the bench, together with Gasol and others who had left the game early, surrounded Su Yang and waited for the arrangement.

"From the scouting report, and my personal long-term understanding..." Su Yang said with a smile, "When the game restarts, the Thunder will arrange for Durant to rest as well. At that time, they will only have Harden leading the team. The strength is the weakest lineup.

What we have to do is to take advantage of that time to build more leads and prevent the Thunder from arranging Durant and Westbrook to play all the time. We are not afraid of them playing like that, but looking for improvement efficiency. "

All the Lakers nodded their heads to express their understanding. During the six days of preparation before the main series, Su Yang and the coach analyzed and explained a large number of Thunder game videos. The most impressive thing was Thunder coach Scott Brooks' watch rotation.

"We have just carried out five consecutive Princeton tactics, and then they will definitely be on guard..." Su Yang continued, "So we took the initiative to seek changes, focusing on the horn elbow series of tactics that will test defensive coordination, mainly..."

In a few words, Su Yang arranged a few tactical options commonly used in the horn elbow series, and by the way mentioned a few fast-break tactics for the five-out formation. After all, with Dior on the stage, he can respond in a sports state, and the tactical options are greatly increased. promote.

In addition to offense, Su Yang also mentioned how to defend Harden who is the main attacker with the ball. The main strategy is to stick to Harden and force Harden to make a mid-range shot.

If Harden wants to make a foul, then leave some space for Harden, but also force him to shoot more wings and three-pointers at the top of the arc.

The generals of the Lakers nodded again to express their understanding. The most distinctive feature of Princeton's tactics is counter-intuitive, which is realized by refusing to cover and dismantling in advance. If the defensive players focus enough, it is not suitable for long-term use. After the Kings, very few teams in the entire league used Princeton tactics with high frequency, and they played occasionally.

"Kobe will take a rest, and Jeremy Lin, Dior, and Gasol will come on and replace them..." Su Yang smoothly arranged the rotation.

The whistle sounded at the end of the inter-section timeout, and the match between the two teams continued, and the big screen showed the alignment of the players.

On the Thunder side, the five players are Fisher, Harden, Daequan Cook, Collison, and center Nazr.

According to the result of the opening jump ball, the Lakers attacked first, Dior kicked off the bottom line in the backcourt, Jeremy Lin received the ball and slowly advanced.

Cheers erupted in the arena. Gasol and the other four quickly completed the horn formation. Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and directly used Gasol's pick-and-roll to break through from the right. Thunder center Nazl helped delay, Fisher sprinted after him.

After finishing the pick-and-roll, Gasol turned and moved laterally, set up a wall to block Collison, and Diaw took the opportunity to go around to the top of the arc to respond.At the same time, Jeremy Lin saw that he could not make a breakthrough, so he stopped decisively, turned around and threw the ball to the top of the arc, and a wide open shot opportunity appeared.

Collison hurriedly put aside Gasol and flew to defend, but Diaw, who was able to shoot a three-pointer, did not rush to shoot, but put the ball straight into the paint. , Thunder center Nazr looked up and tried to intercept.

It's a pity that it was too late, Gasol held high and hit, aiming at the basket was a strong dunk, and the basketball slammed into the net.

"The very simple continuous cover tactic of bull horns is very suitable for the current five players of the Lakers..." In the TNT commentary booth, Barkley said seriously: "This is Su Yang's most powerful place, he can always design for the players. Effective tactics."

"If Bynum is still there, if Diaw is not signed..." Kenny continued, "Then the tactic just now is that Gasol uses the screen to get the ball at the top of the arc, and then goes straight to the basket, and Bynum goes to singles. It's less efficient."

"BALL SHIT!" O'Neill said angrily, "I don't like Bynum, but if Bynum is still there, Su Yang will definitely design more efficient tactics, and will not make Bynum weigh too much like you guessed. Run high and run consecutive screens..."

During the conversation, Harden was the last to run across the center line, raised his hand to catch the pass from Fisher, took advantage of Collison's cover, and strode to the left wing position. Seeing that Barnes chose to squeeze through the screen to catch up, Dior was in front again Interception, emergency stop and take-off to shoot three-pointers.

The basketball clanged like iron, and Sessions picked up the backboard that rebounded and fell, turned around and quickly crossed the halfway line, and then handed it to Diaw.

The Lakers settled in a five-out formation. Dior moved the ball to the right from the top of the arc, while Jeremy Lin came out from the right corner with the help of Gasol at the same time. Weak-side Chicago play.

Because Fisher was delayed by two big men, Gasol and Diaw, he was really unable to catch up, so Collison had to switch defenses.

But Collison's height, weight, and agility couldn't keep up with Jeremy Lin's explosive first step, and he was thrown away in the blink of an eye.

Harden in the left corner could make up the defense, but stood still and watched Jeremy Lin easily score a layup with his left hand.

Cheers erupted in the center of the Staples Center. The Lakers led the Thunder 42 to 26, and the game was going well.

Offensive and defensive transition on the court, Harden dribbled the ball across the center line, raised his hand to command to open the space, turned to the top of the arc and used the screen to break through, faced Barnes, squeezed through the screen and blocked his right hand, and faced Gasol strongly, Europe A layup caused a foul and two free throws were awarded.

Seeing Harden walking towards the free throw line, Su Yang shook his head slightly, and sighed in his heart: "Harden, who is serious and full of fighting spirit, can cause damage even in the face of two-man defense, but I just don't know why he wants to lose his soul in key games." The same, it breaks a horse..."

Anyway, since the NCAA playoffs, Harden has missed many key games. In his early years, he may have been addicted to nightclubs. Later, he often practiced after games. The main reason is that he couldn’t pass the psychological level and was addicted to his comfort zone. He generally refused to make mid-range shots.

In Su Yang's view, the root of Harden's problem is that he dare not step towards greatness, which makes him hesitate in key games.

Because it is difficult to admit that you want to be great, Harden must have thought about it, but he didn't dare to take a step.

Harden is not like Kobe. Seeing Iverson scoring points in the first round, he can only be a substitute. He was so angry that he smashed the tables and chairs, and then practiced crazily to prove to the coach that he is worthy of starting. He is not like LeBron. Get yourself a tattoo of 'The Chosen One'.

That is the common quality of super giants.

Harden wanted to have it, but dared not.

While thinking about it, Harden made the first free throw and made the second free throw, helping the Thunder catch up to 27 to 42, only 15 points behind.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and the Lakers once again formed horns. Sessions ran to the top of the arc with the ball, and used Gasol to cover and break through to the right.But this time, Fisher squeezed through the early knot and squeezed through the screen interception, while Nazr waited eagerly at the waist.

Seeing that appearance, Diaw quickly retreated to the left side of the three-point line, and Gasol tacitly set up the wall to cover again.

Sessions immediately pulled the ball back and diverted to the left to break through. It was difficult for Thunder Fisher and Nazr to intercept again.

In a flash, Harden, who was indifferent to Jeremy Lin's breakthrough before, took the initiative to shrink to the basket to intercept the breakthrough.

Sessions stopped and raised his hand without hesitation to pass the ball to the left corner, and Jeremy Lin caught the ball and threw a three-pointer decisively.

bass!The three-pointer went into the net.

45 to 27, the Lakers led by 18 points, the cheers in the center of the Staples Center burst, and the Thunder requested a timeout.

In the TNT commentary seat, Barkley pointed to the camera and said confidently: "I promise, the Lakers will win this game!"

O'Neal and the others laughed and responded, and then criticized Barkley's previous mispredicted games, mocking wildly.

The on-court timeout ended quickly, and Thunder coach Brooks didn't dare to watch the rotation again, but sent Westbrook ahead of schedule.

It's a pity that Westbrook failed to solve the problem of the Thunder's difficulty in scoring. Su Yang followed up and arranged for Curry to appear on the court. The Lakers' lead expanded again, which made Thunder coach Brooks grit his teeth and sent him ahead of schedule. Even the inter-section timeout took less than 4 minutes to rest. Durant.

The game turned back to the rhythm of the first half of the first quarter. The Thunder relied on strong talent to score, and the Lakers relied on subtle tactics to score.

In the fourth quarter in a blink of an eye, Durant's physical strength has been severely depleted after consecutive games, and his scoring efficiency has decreased visible to the naked eye. help.

The Lakers firmly controlled the ten-point lead and beat the Thunder 113-102 when the final whistle sounded.

After the game, Lakers star Magic Johnson tweeted: "On this night, Su Yang and the entire coaching staff used the most subtle tactics and the most appropriate rotation to help the Lakers take a 1-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals. He deserves all the credit, especially from coaches who haven't made it, for showing just how much tactics can affect the outcome of a game.

If there is any player who thinks that tactics are useless in the future, he can repeatedly show him the Lakers-Thunder game. I think it is difficult for any player to confidently believe that their personal ability will be better than Durant, Westbrook and Harden. powerful…"

　The update in the morning is likely to be postponed to the afternoon, and it was announced in advance...
