lakers championship

Chapter 336 First in the Alliance
25 to 10, such a difference made Snyder quite embarrassed.

The Jazz players work very hard to find someone defensively, and they are also very active in offensive movement. Even the complex tactics he formulates are executed [-]% of the time. He can't find any room for improvement.

In other words, there is a talent gap between Jazz players and Lakers players, which is difficult to smooth out with attitude and tactics.

Even if the "vicious foul" was an off-the-ball move, they took advantage of it. The referee ignored it several times, but it didn't have any effect. It's just because the Lakers have too many players who can play with the ball, and the effect of targeting one is equal to zero.

Snyder realized later that the Lakers already had the feeling of a young version of the Warriors.

Really hard to play!Snyder admitted the reality in his heart, but turned his head and began to think of a way. He believed that the Lakers could not be defeated by conventional methods, and he could only use slanted swords and risky moves.

Determined to pay attention, Snyder got up and walked to the sidelines, rushed to Mitchell who was dribbling forward, and made tactical gestures.

Mitchell nodded and smiled, like a child who heard that there was candy, and then accelerated to sprint.

Tianyang saw such a scene completely in his eyes, and thought to himself: "What little tricks are there?"

He couldn't guess, but he turned his head and nodded to his teammates one by one, signaling to be careful.

Mitchell rushed to the right wing, Gobert stepped forward to pick and roll, Randall hadn't switched defenses, and the three-pointer had already been shot.

'Shua', hit, the Jazz continued up in one breath, and the weight in the hearts of the audience can be regarded as falling.

Turning to the Lakers to attack, Tianyang stopped the ball at the top of the arc and waited until his teammates moved.

Tatum and Ingram made off-ball screens for each other in the short corner on the right. The former slid towards the basketball, while the latter rushed towards the three-point line. Both of them were as fast as 100-speed 2K game characters. from the location.

At the same time, Randall in the low position on the left and Kuzma on the left moved to the top of the arc together.

The 4 Lakers players on the field started irregular moves based on the origin of Tianyang.

Crowder had a slight flaw in his defense, allowing Tatum to slip easily to the basket. He immediately showed regret, guilt, and worry on his face. He rushed to catch up, stretched out his right hand, and grabbed Tatum's jersey fiercely.

It's a pity that Tatum made another counter-run, and Claude only got a handful of air.

As a result, it directly led to a chain reaction. When all five of the Lakers were able to shoot mid-range shots, the Jazz's defensive formation suddenly disintegrated, and the entire court was in chaos, with scoring opportunities everywhere.

Just when everyone was guessing who Tianyang would give the ball to, he accelerated sideways, rushed into the unguarded basket from the right, made a stride for a layup, and scored easily.

Mitchell pouted and shook his head again and again, as if saying: I really can't keep up.

Turning his head to attack the Jazz, Mitchell dribbled the ball across the half in three seconds. After making a pick-and-roll with Gobert at the top of the arc, he tricked Randall with a fake shot, and then dribbled the ball into the inside from the right elbow.

Ingram moved laterally to defend, Mitchell passed the ball behind his back, Ingles received the ball and withdrew to the three-point line, and made a decisive shot!

'Shua', hit again, the point difference is only 9 points, the fans are overjoyed, the hope of winning is back!
The Lakers attacked, Tianyang stopped the ball at the top of the arc, and the other four Lakers players moved.

Three seconds later, Tianyang raised his hand, hit the ground and passed the ball, and assisted Randall, who ran back and slipped to the basket, for a dunk.

The Jazz attacked, Mitchell accelerated to 45 degrees, and after a pick-and-roll with Gobert, he circled to the top of the arc and broke through.

Randall switched defenses to catch up, Gobert cut to the basket, Tianyang caught up and double-teamed with Kuzma who was defending.

Gobert chose to split the ball, Favors received the ball from the low post on the left side, and made a throw on the board.

27 to 18, although still behind, but I have to say that the Jazz played very successfully during this period.

Fortunately, after three fast breaks, Walton has identified the Jazz's new strategy.

It’s nothing more than playing fast, grabbing three-pointers and aggressive fouls. The first two points are executed well, and the third point basically has no chance, because the Lakers players move too fast every time they attack, just like Claude just now. Did not catch.

In addition, Walton is also keenly aware that the Jazz's two three-pointers and one mid-range shot just now are just appearances, and the essence lies in the pick-and-roll.Gobert is so big, the sky is not easy to get around, and Randall can't stop it.

The method of preventing pick-and-rolls is also simple, nothing more than double-teaming the ball holder, delaying in advance, or partial defense.

Considering that Gobert's three-pointer can be zero, Walton immediately made up his mind and waved his hand to signal the delay.

Tianyang saw it in his heart, dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and passed the ball to Ingram hand to hand.

Then he ran to the right wing, received a flyer to beat Crowder, and changed direction with one body and easily entered the inside line.

Claude made a foul in a hurry, and slapped Tianyang's arm with great force and viciousness, as if trying to slap someone dead.

It's a pity that Tianyang had expected it a long time ago, and immediately stopped and jumped to shoot, and Claude missed again.

"Dang", the basketball hit the rim, and then fell down again, and the Lakers also scored three goals in a row.

As a result, the point difference between the two teams has always hovered around [-] points. The Lakers not only gave the Jazz a little hope, but also kept suppressing it, which made Snyder very uncomfortable.

The Jazz attacked, Mitchell dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Gobert stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll as if he had received a system command.

But this time there was a sudden change, Randall was delayed in advance, Tianyang also quickly bypassed Gobert, and the two double-teamed Mitchell at the same time, forcing them to run to the right and find an opportunity to pass the ball.

To whom?All three of the Jazz were defended around the front, and it could only be Gobert.

As soon as Gobert got the ball, Randall immediately went back to defend again.

Mitchell ran up to catch the ball, and the two played a pick-and-roll.

Although the direction was changed, the effect was still the same. Mitchell could only retreat and force a three-pointer after delaying the double-teaming.

Under the interference of Tianyang and Randall blocking the shot together, the shot was smashed.

Kuzma grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to the center line, Randall blocked Mitchell, and Tianyang galloped to pick up the basketball.

No one could catch up with the Jazz, Tianyang rushed to the top of the arc and shot open.

A three-pointer was hit, and the point difference between the two teams returned to 14 points, and the weight in the hearts of Jazz fans was lifted again.

The Jazz attacked again, while Mitchell and Gobert were doing pick-and-rolls, Ingles and Favors went around the three-point line ahead of time to prepare to respond.In this way, Mitchell avoids the danger of being double-teamed, but the room for breakthrough is also much smaller.

When he forcibly broke into the inside, the Lakers decisively contracted and double-teamed, and finally fell short.

The Lakers got a defensive rebound, launched a fast break again, used fast to make fast, and scored another 2 points.

With 16 points, the biggest point difference in the game was refreshed. The Jazz's efforts during this period were completely zero.

Snyder remained stubborn, commanding Mitchell and Ingles to grab three points.

It's a pity that the two felt cold. While they made 5 of 2 shots, the Lakers made 5 of 4 shots.

After the first quarter, the Jazz trailed 24 to 42.

Back in the second quarter, Snyder still did not give up, and arranged for the whole team to create opportunities for Mitchell.

Mitchell was also upbeat, scoring 5 points in 9 minutes, but the Lakers always maintained a high shooting percentage.

The gap between the two teams was obvious, and the Lakers suppressed it from beginning to end.

In the end, seven Lakers scored in double figures and beat the Jazz 7-127.

本场比赛，米切尔发挥出色，拿到33分1篮板5助攻，远超罗德尼–胡德12分2篮板2助攻，但依然逊色于天洋36分11助的大号两双。

After the game, Snyder was interviewed by reporters outside the locker room, saying that although what Tianyang said was nosy, Mitchell is indeed a future superstar, and he will arrange for Mitchell to start from the next game.

Late that night, WOJ broke the news on Twitter that the Jazz withdrew their 4-year $7500 million early contract extension offer for Hood, and publicly sold it to league teams, as long as they can get it in the first round.

Tianyang saw both news, but he didn't expect his words to come true.

……

On the morning of the 29th, ESPN recorded a roundtable program.

The host Mark was in charge of the opening. He said: "With the Rockets unexpectedly losing a big score to the Grizzlies, after the end of the winning streak, the Lakers have successfully reached the top of the Western Conference and even the league by virtue of their 6-game winning record since the start of the game. And, In the past 6 games, the Lakers have outscored their opponents by an average of 12.6 points, which is quite a terrifying statistic. Now, please talk about it, how should other teams in the league deal with the Lakers?"
