Chapter 189 The Lakers Will Defend Their Title
"According to you, the problem that Charles is worried about will not exist?" Kenny said, "Li Yue and Kobe can enter the heads-up mode at any time, maybe a team can defend one of them, but surely they cannot defend both of them at the same time? "

"Of course, all mainstream tactical systems serve non-critical moments." O'Neal said, "Just like in the 98 Finals, when the Bulls played against the Jazz in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter in Game [-], all the Bulls' offenses were executed by Jordan. singles."

"That says great players, not tactics," Barkley said. "So you shouldn't say that."

O'Neill pretended not to hear it, raised his head, looked left and right quietly, pretending to be arrogant and didn't want to pay attention.

The Clippers attacked, Paul brought the ball to the top of the arc, Jordan raised the wall from the free throw line as a screen, Gasol followed up and changed defense delays, and the three huddled together.

At the same time, Redick started from the right wing, walked to the bottom line, used Griffin and Dudley to cover, and rushed to the left 45 degrees again. Li Yue hurriedly bypassed the cover to catch up, and other Lakers teammates adjusted their orientation.

Unexpectedly, just as Gasol bent his knees and turned his toes, Jordan immediately twisted his hips and went straight to the hoop.

Paul lobbed the pass almost at the same time, Landry was forced to move laterally to supplement the defense, and was about to stand in a fixed position to make a foul. Jordan, who has the advantage of height and size, took the ball and took off with the opportunity. With a bang, he dunked.

The cheers in the arena suddenly exploded, and several spectators behind the ball rack yelled at Landry loudly, as if they were as excited as they completed the dunk. The Lakers started to attack.

Nash dribbled the ball across the center line, raised his left hand and gestured, implying a hand-to-hand cover at the elbow.

Li Yue saw it, and strode to the left corner to stand still, while Gasol sank to the bottom in the three-meter area on the left, and Iguodala squatted to guard the right corner.

Nash took the ball to the right 45 degrees, passed it to Landry at the top of the arc, and suddenly accelerated to the right.

Paul twisted his hips to catch up, Nash stopped suddenly and ran back, rushed to the top of the arc to take over the pass back, and strode to the left to dribble.

Paul didn't dare to shoot and chose to squeeze through the screen to catch up. As soon as he chased behind him, he was blocked by Gasol who caught the ball from the left elbow area, and Nash also cut to the right basket. The Clippers defense was forced to go The inside line shrank, but Nash didn't stop, and ran back to the left sideline again, using Li Yue's cover to circle to the top of the arc.

The entire left half became the focus of the audience. Iguodala, who had been squatting all the time, started at the right time and rushed to the right elbow with big strides. Where Landry happened to provide him with a fixed-point screen, it was also a position where he could catch the ball and shoot. .

The Clippers' defensive formation fell into chaos. Griffin stepped forward and wanted to switch defenses, but was blocked by Iguodala who suddenly stopped. Redick also suffered the same situation. Landry took two steps back and added Sol passed the ball and took off to make a mid-range shot.

Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and bounced into the net.

The Lakers lead 10-5.

"Everyone, I have a question." Ernie pushed his glasses, "Has any team played this tactic before?"

"The Spurs tried last season, but the number of times was relatively small. Most of the time, Duncan supported him at a high position." Kenny said, "I don't remember the other teams. What about you two?"

"I don't think the dynamic offense can be called a tactical system like UCLA, Princeton, and the triangle offense." Barkley said, "To be precise, it is a collection of many tactics, and you can play the one that suits you, so It's hard to find other teams as examples other than the Lakers' open admission."

"There is another reason." O'Neal said, "This style of play lacks an absolute core during regular time, and the number of shots between players will be relatively average, which leads to some superstar players not liking it, or even if they can accept it, they don't like The Lakers have a lot of guys who can do a good pass, screen, cut."

The Clippers attacked and Paul took the ball to the top of the arc.

Still the same tactics as before, the Lakers successfully completed the restrictions with local three defenses and two defenses, but after the unguarded Griffin received the ball, he jumped out of his hands without hesitation, and the basketball fell into the net with bumps.

Li Yue turned around and ran to the frontcourt, thinking that this one-on-one rhythm would still not be able to open the score. Then the coaching staff might reduce the playing time of players with non-guaranteed contracts, so they had to find a way.

Just as he was thinking about it, Nash raised his hand and gestured again, requesting to implement a simple yo-yo tactic. The specific process was toss and collect, and when the defensive player hadn't reacted, he quickly hit the rim.

Li Yue stood at the bottom corner on the right and saw Nash pass the ball to 45 Landry on the left.

Dudley bowed and chased wildly, but the speed was still half a beat slow, and he was half a body behind in the blink of an eye.

Jordan suddenly fell into hesitation, and it was difficult to make a choice between delaying the grab and staying in place. At the moment when his upper body leaned forward slightly, Gasol suddenly turned around and cut to the basket, and Landry passed the ball at the same time.

Little Jordan reacted, turned around and chased after him, and nailed the big hat with a snap.

The audience immediately cheered and screamed, but after Jordan blocked the shot, he couldn't hold back his figure. Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound, got back on the spot, and gently put the ball into the net.

Depressedly, Jordan picked up the basketball, dragged it out of bounds and passed it to Paul, and the Clippers launched an offense.

Paul took the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Griffin in the left elbow area. He cut into the inside line from the right side, went to the basket under the cover of Jordan, and then suddenly changed course and ran to the bottom corner on the right side, rushing towards him. Redick does a cross off-ball screen.

Griffin made two strong headers, and in order to get the advantage, he quickly passed the ball to Redick who ran to the top of the arc.Because of the double screen, there were no defensive players around Redick, and he adjusted his posture calmly to shoot.

when!Smashing baskets and striking iron.

Gasol backed up against Jordan, and Landry rushed to get the rebound, landed and threw the ball to the left corner along the direction.Li Yue took it in his hand, took a big step, threw Dudley away for half a second, and then accelerated forward.

During the transition between offense and defense, the best way to score is to beat the opponent's foothold, and the best strategy must be to cooperate with the pick-and-roll. Li Yue rushed to the center line and immediately raised his hand to call. Landry, who was about to set up for the free throw line, ran up quickly.

The two faced each other at the top of the arc, and Li Yue took the opportunity to get rid of Dudley, rushed to the free throw line and made an emergency stop to take off and make a mid-range shot.

Swish!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Lakers lead 12-7.

"Very good, he is not limited to the tactical system, and clearly remembers the best strategy." O'Neal smiled, "This shows that the Lakers only use dynamic offense as a means, and will not abandon the excellent previous style of play."

"This is flexible use, preventing the opponent from finding a strategy that can be targeted." Kenny nodded again and again, "The key is that each player's end characteristics can be more or less satisfied. In the long season, the main players will be very relaxed. "

"As far as I'm concerned, all five Lakers starters have scored since the game was played," Ernie said, "while the Clippers' scoring is concentrated on Redick and Jordan, their physical strength may be affected."

...

The Clippers attacked, and Paul took the ball to the left 45 degrees.

Griffin raised up to cover, Paul got rid of Nash and rushed to the top of the arc, and Redick also started from the right wing with a fast speed.Griffin completed the screen and went down, just in time to set up a positioning screen for Redick who rushed to the short corner on the left. Paul passed the ball early to the center.

Redick received the ball, took advantage of the situation, took two steps in a row, and went straight to the basket.

But Iguodala forcibly chased in front of him, followed his footsteps and took off at the same time, and it is very likely to complete the block.

When they met on a narrow road, Redick hesitated and chose to throw the ball over Iguodala's head. Griffin, who retreated to the left sideline, caught the ball, raised his hand as a mid-range shot, slightly raised Landry, and suddenly stepped down the ball. Suddenly, just outside the three-second zone, he jumped high and rushed to the basket like a Tyrannosaurus rex.

LeBron once said he wouldn't try to block Griffin's dunk because it would be unwise, but Iguodala seemed to disagree, jumping head-on without fear, intercepting with both hands high.

boom!The two collided in the air, the audience screamed, and the basketball flew out.

The referee immediately blew his whistle and called Iguodala for a foul. The entire Lakers team was stunned: Where was the foul?
The referee did not explain, Griffin stood on the free throw line with a heavy face, and cheers of MVP sounded in the arena.

when!The first free throw was struck, and disappointed sighs sounded sporadically around the arena.

Griffin shook his head slightly, took the referee's pass, deliberately aimed at the basket for about five seconds, and slowly raised the ball.

when!The second free throw also hit the iron, and disappointed sighs kept coming and going.

Gasol spread his hands to stop Jordan and Dudley. Li Yuefei grabbed the rebound and passed it to Nash.

Li Yue rushed all the way to the basket, turned around to observe the direction of the basketball, and saw Jordan approaching Nash from behind with his speed advantage, decisively left the three-second zone to the right, and was ready to catch the ball in advance.

Sure enough, Jordan teamed up with Paul to double-team before Gasol was in position.

Nash pulled the ball back calmly, and with the help of Landry who rushed over to cover him, he quickly shifted to the right.

Jordan still wanted to double-team, Paul shouted loudly: "Chasing someone, chasing someone..."

Before the words fell, Nash passed the ball to the center, and Landry, who made an air cut, received it, took two steps forward, and forced a jump in front of Dudley. Dudley followed the jump and tried to block the shot, but the basketball flew to the right low .

Li Yue took it in his hand, took a step forward, stood up, and dunked with both hands.

The Lakers lead 14-7.

Rivers got up and walked to the technical stage, and made a series of gestures at Paul who was advancing, as if to imply something.

Paul did not respond, took the ball to the top of the arc, raised his hand to signal for a pick-and-roll cover, and Jordan immediately went up to the wall.Without waiting for Gasol's delay in switching defenses, Paul quickly dribbled the ball to the right 45 degrees, and Redick moved from the bottom line to the left half.

With no one to help defend, Gasol had to face it alone, and the situation of small fights was formed.

Li Yue was relieved when he saw this. Rivers' actions should be to let Paul play singles. After all, the Clippers currently need to score to stabilize the situation.

Paul quickly changed hands and changed direction, shaking his shoulders from left to right. The whole person looked like a tumbler swinging irregularly. It was difficult to tell which way he would go, but Gasol also adjusted his orientation very patiently.

However, the agility attribute of the big man is lower than that of the small man. After about five seconds, Gasol lost his normal rhythm.

Gasol twisted his hips to catch up, Paul took the initiative to play face-to-face and back, rushed to the basket, raised his arms to protect the basketball, and hit the basket steadily without any interference. sharp.

The basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net. The Clippers chased 9 to 14, and the audience cheered and applauded.

Paul himself was excited, yelling 'I'll catch you' as he stepped back.

The corner of Gasol's mouth turned slightly, he picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds to hand it to Nash. The Lakers launched an offense, and the audience shouted for defense in unison.

Seeing that Nash wanted to play weak-side fist tactics, Li Yue rushed to the low post on the left to stand still, and made eye contact with Nalandri who ran to the low post on the right at the same time, confirming the next running steps.

Nash took the ball across the center line in a blink of an eye, passed it to Iguodala on the right wing, and crossed the free throw line to the left half. At the same time, Iguodala passed the ball to the top of the arc, and Li Yue turned and ran to Landry, do an off-ball cross screen.

Gasol catches the ball at the top of the arc and passes back to Nash, who is 45 degrees to the left, and Landry runs up.It was the Nth time that the Lakers formed a weak-side pick-and-roll attack opportunity. Paul saw it through ahead of time, decisively blocked the space on the left, and forced Nash to go to the right.

With three Clippers players on the right side, it is very difficult for Nash to break through, and the Lakers' tactical movement is blocked.

Seeing this, Li Yue kicked off and rushed to the right 45 degrees with the help of Gasol's cover. Nash quickly passed the ball.The moment he took the ball, Li Yue took advantage of the momentum and swayed, and walked to the right to hit the inside line, but Dudley seemed to be in his peak state, and strode sideways to block the way.

The tactics were blocked again, and Li Yue made up his mind to make a strong breakthrough, but he caught a glimpse of Landry mentioning the top of the arc, and decisively chose to split the ball.

Landry received the ball, moved sideways to the left, handed it to Nash, and made a screen by the way.

Nash took the opportunity to get rid of Paul, Li Yue turned around when he saw this, and cut inside with Landry, forming a 2-on-1 advantage.Nash noticed this keenly, and immediately threw the ball to the left elbow, and Jordan had no time to return to the defense.

Landry catches the ball and hits the basket, and then passes it to the basket. Li Yue takes the ball and smashes it with one hand.

The Lakers led 16 to 9, and the Clippers requested a timeout. Rivers had a serious face, as if he had encountered something unhappy.

"After watching the game for a few minutes, my biggest feeling is that the Clippers can't defend against the Lakers at all," Ernie said. "As soon as the Clippers learned some experience and wanted to use it, the Lakers switched to another tactic."

"Strictly speaking, the Lakers scored these 16 points, and the number of repeated use of a certain tactic was zero. Except for the time when Gasol was blocked, every other time was executed perfectly. This is a very scary thing." Kenny said "I'm here to boldly predict that the Lakers will defend their championship this season. They have evolved to another level. Even Landry will take the initiative to respond and can handle the next steps perfectly. The other 29 teams in the league cannot do this. point."

"What you said is too complicated. Let me sum it up." O'Neal said, "The Lakers starters are all tactical masters, and they have telepathy between them. They will successfully defend the championship in the new season."

　I have described all these tactics in detail, hoping to create a specific image for you, and I will often use the simple version later.
