The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 291

Infected by the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, Xue Ding felt that his fighting spirit was also soaring, and there was only one thought in his mind, and it really felt good to be at home.

After several consecutive away games, I felt the long-lost home atmosphere, and the expressions on the faces of other teammates were quite relaxed and happy.

As last year's champion team, the Lakers' goal this year is very clear, that is to defend the title, so two major adjustments have been made this year.

First of all, Ariza, the main small forward who won last year's championship, was sent away in exchange for Artest. The purpose is to strengthen the intensity of defense.

Because the Lakers have Kobe, they are not worried about the offensive end. As a man who can score 81 points in a single game, he explodes and is unstoppable.

But the offensive end is too strong, and the defensive end must be more difficult. Ariza's body is relatively thin. The Lakers need to be able to defend the opponent's main small forward, especially Anthony, James, and Pierce.

It's not that the Lakers can't do without such a defender. No matter whether they win or lose against such a team in the regular season, the overall record is ultimately used to determine home court advantage and other things.

But with such a reserve in advance, the purpose is obvious, and that is to prepare for the championship.

Otherwise, winning the championship in the first year and then sending away the hero who won the championship is something no team will do.

There is another important decision, and that is Sun Houzi. As the top defender in China, his defense, organization, and scoring ability are also just now. In the Olympics, as a man chasing Kobe Bryant, that is a big show. of.

Later, he was directly taken away by the Lakers, and he was also praised by Kobe. This boy has a very good training attitude, he is always the first to come and the last to leave, and this kid is very talented. I was a little stunned myself.

Everyone thinks Sun Houzi has a bright future, but when he plays, his performance is always so-so. I don’t know if it’s because he hasn’t adapted to the intensity of the NBA or the food in the NBA. It’s a bit disappointing anyway, but the fans are very happy. I think, among other things, with such a big domestic market and the shrewdness of Lakers owner Buss, Sun Monkey's chances are definitely guaranteed.

As a result, the Lakers still directly cut Monkey Sun and used Gaffney, a big man inside.

Originally, the Lakers' inside line was outrageously strong. The combination of Bynum and Gasol has long proved that in the current alliance's inside combination, it is very powerful. The meaning is very simple, as long as Kobe has no problems on the outside, and whoever has problems on the inside, I will directly put on the bench, and there is hope for winning the championship.

Judging from these two substitutions, Xue Ding clearly felt that the Lakers wanted to win the championship again.

So this game will not be easy.

Because for me, the team needs a good ranking for the playoffs.

For the Lakers, they need a good ranking for the finals.

Lakers starters: Fisher, Bryant, Gasol, Bynum, Artest.

Trail Blazers starting lineup: Xue Ding, Ji Guannan, Batum, Alder, Chandler.

The two sides stand in good positions, Bynum and Chandler jump the ball.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Chandler jumped up like a man on a spring, but it turned out to be a little early. At the highest point, the ball hadn't come down yet, and Bynum easily jumped up and passed the ball to Fisher.

As a small 1.8-meter-five-meter-old man, Fisher can still be active in the starting lineup of the Lakers, which cannot be separated from his big heart. Give you a fatal blow.

With these qualities and experience, Kobe respected him very much.

Fisher dribbled the ball across half court and landed at a 45° angle. Kobe was at the 45° position on the right, ready to run back and cut inside at any time.

But it is clear that Fisher's focus is on his inside twin towers.

As soon as Xue Ding saw Fisher's move, he understood the Lakers' tactical intention, which was to open up the inside line first.

As soon as the inside line is opened, it will attract the defense to shrink. At this time, when the outside line is showing off, and the score of the super scorer Kobe is interspersed, the game is very simple.

With this set of tactics, the Lakers are basically invincible.

But Xue Ding knew that it was not so simple for his own team.

It is not without reason that he promoted the introduction of Dele.

You have twin towers, so do I!
Fisher gave Gasol a lob, and Gasol quickly turned around to face the frame very experienced.

Adelaide did not follow too closely at the first time. For one of the most comprehensive big men in the league, a man who played from a guard to a center position since childhood, he is very aware of the opponent's comprehensive skills and flexible speed, which is unmatched by himself. .

You can't follow up casually. If you move yourself, the other party can find the change in your center of gravity and thus find opportunities.

The enemy doesn't move, I don't move, Xue Ding has communicated with Ade in private, he is at a disadvantage defensively, but when he is at an advantage in height and weight, using this plan a lot will have unexpected effects.

In Xue Ding's words, this is to scare you to death with my aura. Although Ade didn't understand what it means to scare people to death, he understood the main essence of Xue Ding's words.

So when facing Gasol, it's like I'll let you play, you'd better come over and fight me hard in singles, otherwise if you want to shoot or something, I will jump over and give you a big cap at any time.

Xue Ding knew it was going to be bad when he saw the situation, and suddenly realized his mistake. There is no problem with this theory, but there are a few people who need to be excluded, and Gasol is one of them.

Everything was explained clearly at the beginning, but such a list was lacking.

Sure enough, as soon as Gasol saw Adelaide's defensive posture, he kept making two tentative steps, and found that Adelaide hadn't come up yet, so he opened his hand without hesitation and made a mid-range shot.

Xue Ding quickly ran to Ade's side, and reminded in a low voice: "The method I told you is to face people with incomplete offensive methods, which is especially effective. Faced with this kind, you have to go up and put pressure directly, use your thick body crush him"

Adele nodded again and again, as if why didn't you make it clear.

In the next round, Xue Ding dribbled the ball past the half court. Artest defended very actively. He defended himself early on, constantly looking for physical contact. Xue Ding was secretly amused. Learn about.

His heart was not disturbed, and his hands were not idle. With one hand, he isolated Artest to protect his dribbling space, and at the same time observed the situation on the court. Seeing that Xue Ding had not made a breakthrough, Ade understood it in his heart, and quickly put it on. In two steps, Xue Ding quickly passed the ball.
