Chapter 738 The Strongest Killer

After the first game, the Lakers began to collectively review the mistakes they made in the first game.

Ge Feng was the player who participated in the team discussion most actively after the game.

In the first game, he was once made very uncomfortable by the Jazz's rotation defense, and his shooting percentage dropped a lot compared to before.

If Davis hadn't caused enough trouble for the Jazz inside, the Lakers would never have won so easily. The game between the two teams is likely to last to the last 3 minutes.

In addition to Ge Feng being targeted by the Jazz, Kobe also has to consider Joshua's next use.

In the last game, Joshua's meaning to the Lakers was undoubtedly equivalent to a magic soldier descending from heaven.

However, it's okay for the routine of the divine soldier to descend from the sky once in a while.If you want to continue, either you are Michael Jordan, or your opponent is completely human, otherwise it is impossible for the immature Joshua to grab the rebounds of the Jazz in two consecutive games.

The Jazz will definitely list Joshua as a key target of suppression.

In the next game, it is impossible for Joshua to keep grabbing offensive rebounds for the Lakers like in the first game.

Kobe hid Joshua for half a year, and his purpose was to catch his opponent by surprise at critical moments.

Today, Joshua's characteristics and attributes have attracted the attention of the Jazz coaching staff.

In the next game, if the Lakers don't make some changes, the game will still be difficult to play.

Using the 10-minute breaks between each practice session, Bryant asked all the Lakers players one by one and recorded how they felt against the Jazz.

When Kobe summed up the feelings of all the players, he returned to his office without saying a word, and the training content was completely handed over to Kidd.

After summarizing the feelings of the players, Kobe found that the most information the players conveyed to Kobe was that they were too aggrieved in the last game.

Because the overall offense is well defended by the opponent, even if there is an open space sometimes, the ball cannot be thrown in steadily.

Speaking of this alone, it can be seen from Bo Yang's three-point shooting percentage.

In the first game, Bo Yang made 9 of 3 three-pointers, including 2 open three-pointers, none of which were made.

This is something that was almost impossible to do with Bojan before.

Not only Bojan, but also Schroeder, Ge Feng, and McGee all have open positions. From this point, it can be seen that it is basically impossible to tear up the Jazz's defense through tactics. If he wants to be sure of winning against the Jazz, Kobe must think of other ways to make targeted adjustments.

At lunch time, after the players washed up, they went home to eat.

At this moment, Kobe suddenly appeared in the locker room and left Ge Feng alone.

Ge Feng followed Kobe to Kobe's office.

"In the last game, what did you think of the Jazz's defensive strength against you?" Kobe asked straight to the point without talking nonsense.

Ge Feng thought for a while: "I can't limit my scoring, but it will make my physical fitness decline rapidly, which will affect my shooting percentage."

"What about Gobert? If you face him directly on the court, your feelings will be more accurate than the actual data." Kobe continued to ask.

Ge Feng replied seriously: "The awareness of assisting defense and making up defense is very good, and Gobert's height, wingspan, and jumping are very good, which will bring a strong sense of oppression to any offensive player. If I was delayed by an outside player for a second when I broke through the inside, then there is no doubt that Gobert must be waiting for me in front."

Kobe nodded thoughtfully.

Ge Feng's words are all things that cannot be retrieved from the data.

Kobe was silent.

Ge Feng thought for a while and continued: "There is one more thing to add. When I face Gobert, I can't get around Gobert and pass the ball inside. This forces me to pass the ball outside or make a hard shot myself. But this will hurt the team. I know this very well."

When Kobe heard this, he reached out his hand to stop Ge Feng from continuing.

"No, you are the core of the backcourt. No matter what you do, it will not hurt the team. If any player feels hurt, he can leave the Lakers. As the core, you must have confidence in yourself, absolute confidence!"

Hearing Kobe's words, Ge Feng's heart warmed slightly.

"oh, I understand now."

Kobe began to analyze what Ge Feng said just now.

"You're right, look at the data."

Kobe threw a stack of data to Ge Feng from the table.

Ge Feng took it over and took a look. These data were all Lakers technical analysts, who recorded the Lakers' goal-to-goal ratio in each round recorded at the game site.

These data are very professional, not only scoring and losing points, but also the position of each player on the team, as well as data such as points, assists, rebounds, steals, and turnovers, all of which are recorded in detail.

Through this stack of data, Ge Feng can easily research all the data of his last game, such as shots, passes, assists, steals, rebounds, etc., which are very detailed.

After seeing these technical reports, Ge Feng was shocked.

No wonder the Lakers can maintain the championship level all year round. With such a conscientious technical team, every offensive and defensive round of the Lakers will be found and corrected as soon as the game ends.

From this stack of data, Ge Feng can easily research all his actions in the last game.

Indeed, in the last game, when Ge Feng chose to break through O'Neal, he would receive Gobert's supplementary defense.

At this time, Ge Feng's shooting percentage was less than 17%.

After reading these data, Ge Feng suddenly realized.

In the last game, Ge Feng's overall shooting rate was 38%.

In other words, when Ge Feng chooses to break through to the inside, there is only a 17% probability of sending the ball into the basket.

It is for this reason that Ge Feng's shooting percentage has dropped by a full 10% compared to the average level.

Ge Feng is still stable in the mid-range and three-point shooting, and O'Neal has nothing to do with him.

"I'm thinking about letting you and Bo Yang play three-pointers from the outside. Of course, I need to ask your opinion on this. Do you still have confidence in your three-pointer ability?"

Kobe's words made Ge Feng very surprised.

Three points?
Although O'Neal can't prevent Ge Feng's long-range shooting, since Ge Feng's position was mentioned as the 3rd position, he rarely participates in three-point shooting.

Now, three years have passed, and it is okay for Ge Feng to shoot a three-pointer once in a while, but Ge Feng has no idea about making him use the three-pointer as his main scoring method.

"Only if the distance between you and Davis is far enough, the Jazz's defense will be really torn apart."

Kobe's words made Ge Feng react immediately.

Ge Feng began to ponder the feasibility of Kobe's words.

"Moreover, the next game will no longer be a contest between spears and shields, but a contest between shields and shields."

Kobe's last words woke Ge Feng up completely.

A battle between shields and shields!

That's right, if the Lakers can shift their focus from offense to defense, then in the shield-to-shield contest, the three-pointer is definitely the strongest killer.
