Chapter 775 The Triangle Offense
"This is a video clip of the two rookies selected by the Clippers this year. Let's take a look and get to know~"

On the eve of the opening game, in the Lakers base, Zen master led the players to watch the game video of Harden and Johnson.

"I didn't expect that such a player could be selected as the No. [-] pick. Didn't it mean that this year is the year of the draft~?! I think this is another bragging of the media~!!"

Artest watched Harden's game highlights, shaking his head and sighing.

"The matter of the draft year is true, but the Clippers chose Harden instead of Griffin with the No. It is at the historical level~!!"

Kobe watched intently and responded.

"It's unlucky for these rookies to meet us in the first game of their career~"

"Hey, looking at the current paper lineup of the Clippers, especially without Brand, it feels like a development league team~, haha~!!"

Several team members were joking and talking to each other.

The atmosphere in the whole screening room is relatively relaxed.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the defending champions did not put their brothers in the same city in their eyes.

After that, Zen Master did not do too much research and analysis on several young players of the Clippers.

"Everyone try to find the state as much as possible. I don't have too many demands on everyone. Enjoy such a night of raising the championship flag and enjoy the game~!"

Before the game, Zen Master still didn't make any tactical arrangements for the Clippers, and it felt as if he could win with just one hit.

After all, today's Clippers team is composed of one third-year player, two second-year players and two rookies, so it will definitely make a championship-level team like the Lakers relax their vigilance.

But because of this, the Lakers paid a huge price for it.

After the start of the game, the Clippers worked hard and played very focused and serious, while the Lakers obviously except for Kobe, other players are still on vacation.

After half a quarter of the first quarter, the Lakers trailed the Clippers by 8 points at 21:13.

Although the mandatory timeout allowed the Lakers to breathe a sigh of relief, Artest and Kobe made huge defensive mistakes, so Zen Master had to call a timeout again within 1 minute.

At 10:24, the defending champion trailed the Clippers by 14 points. According to this game format, the point difference may continue to be expanded.

Different from the mandatory timeout last time, this time Zen master took the initiative to call the timeout, and immediately sat in front of several main players, held a tactical board, and began to explain.

"Ron (Artest) you off, Odom you up~!!"

Zen Master first made substitutions and adjustments, and now the problem of the Lakers lies in the offense, and Odom is often the glue of the Lakers on the offensive end.

This player in his early two meters can play from the first position to the fourth position. It can be said that he is the most versatile player in the entire Lakers team.

It is also an important factor for the Lakers to win the championship last year.

Seeing this, Odom immediately changed his jersey, and after gesturing to the technical table, he immediately returned to the bench and listened carefully to Zen Master's arrangement.

Artest, on the other hand, sat aside rather disappointed, shaking his head while drinking water and watching his various technical statistics with zeros on the big screen.

Obviously, "The Beast" has not yet been able to integrate into the offensive and defensive systems of the Lakers and Zen Master.

But looking at the entire season, Artest still plays an important role in the Lakers.

It just needs more time to run in, after all, this is only the team's first game of the new season.

The first twenty games of the regular season may all be used to run the lineup.

Back to the game.

Here Zen master draws a tactic on the tactical board in which three players form a triangle near the free throw line.

Yes, Zen master's best "triangle offense" is about to appear.

"The other party is on Odom, and we are also making personnel adjustments~"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.

The Lakers not only replaced Odom, but at the last moment of the timeout, they suddenly replaced Bynum and replaced pitcher Vujacic.

"This lineup,,, is it~?! Could it be that the Zen master is coming to that~?!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli suddenly became worried.

Because the time has come, Lan Shengli has no chance to make personnel adjustments.

Taking down Jordan and replacing veteran Camby seems to be a painless decision for the battle.

The game will start again soon, to see who is more effective in the response of the two coaches.

Fisher, Kobe, Vujacic, Odom and Gasol, this is the lineup that the Lakers usually line up in the most critical moments of the playoffs and finals last season.

Although Kobe is nominally playing small forward in this lineup, everyone who knows the Lakers game understands that Kobe is still the shooting guard.

I saw that after the Lakers attacked here, Gasol came near the free throw line, holding the ball, and doing support.

The other four players Odom came to the low position, Vujacic and Fisher ambushed on the two baselines, while Bryant was on the wing.

"This,, this position, isn't this the Zen master's best triangle attack~?!?!"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli immediately exclaimed.

"I suffered~~"

Lan Shengli vaguely felt that he had miscalculated.

Everyone in the league, or anyone who knows Zen Master, knows that his best tactic, especially the offensive tactic, is the triangle offense, but what Lan Shengli didn't expect was that Zen Master would use this tactic so quickly.

I saw Gasol holding the ball high here, and Camby had nothing to do but wait and see.

But Camby was hoisted out of the inside line by Gasol, and the Clippers' inside line was completely empty.

However, the player defending Odom is Thornton, and there is no difference in strength and height between the two sides.

But the experience is very different.

After Gasol lobbed the ball to Odom, Odom turned around and hit Thornton a little bit, especially since Odom is still a left-handed player, so it is even more difficult to defend.

Upon seeing this, Johnson gave up Vujacic and wanted to double-team.

Seeing this, Lan Shengli didn't make any verbal suggestions, but just watched the situation on the field with a cautious expression.

But that's what Odom was waiting for. Seeing Johnson rushing over in a daze, Odom directly jumped up and passed the ball to Vujacic who was unguarded outside.

After Vujacic received the ball, he made a three-pointer near the baseline.

"Swipe~!!!"

The ball drew a beautiful arc and went straight into the net.

The magic power of the triangle offense has already begun to manifest
The defending champion also seems to be showing signs of recovery.
