Basketball: Man in 08, three months left before the Olympics

The pressure Rick Carlisle faces today is no small.

Opposite him, but the honorable “Zen Master” Phil Jackson, and the Lakers led by Zen Master have a complete roster, with almost no lineup defects.

However, he did not panic at all, and still eliminated the most handy lineup of the Mavericks recently: Pei Yun, Terry, Josh Howard, Novitsky, Dampier.

Compared to the Zen master, Carlisle is not famous, and he has never even proven himself.

Just conscientious in the industry, a very responsible coach, good reputation.

On the field, both teams of players have their own popularity.

The Lakers’ luxurious roster naturally goes without saying.

In the Mavericks, the handsome Pei Yun became the biggest attention of players on the sidelines.

Looking closely, fans were surprised to find that Pei Yun was a person who was not very photogenic, and he was completely less charming than himself in the camera.

Every second when Pei Yun was present, there were countless shutters pressed at the same time.

Today’s major lace in Los Angeles must be indispensable for the report on this popular professional basketball player.

On the field, after the players from both sides greeted each other, the game began immediately.

Jumping ball in the middle circle, Bynum earned the Lakers their first offensive possession.

The ball was given to Lamar Odom, who controlled the ball in front.

Lamar Odom, the fourth pick in ’99, is 208 tall, but has a well-rounded technique that can knock out the No. 5 position from the No. 1 position, and is known as the “all-round warrior.”

He joined the Lakers in the 04 season, played as an organizational forward, and also played power forward, and this season he is the most energetic bandit on the Lakers’ bench.

However, in this game, Zen master Phil Jackson was ingenious, not counting Odom as a starter, and also made him play point guard instead.

It is used to deal with the Mavericks’ popular tall point guard Pei Yun.

Although Pei Yun is very versatile, his height of 203 does not have the agility and stealing ability of those small guards.

This allows Odom, who is good at ball control and passing, to be used in the position of point guard without the risk of steals.

I have to say that the Zen master’s hand is bold and subtle.

Pei Yun’s advantage of height and arm length was completely intangible in front of Odom.

Odom passed the ball to Kobe Bryant after dribbling the ball to the front court, and he did not dominate the ball, but more often, it was only used for alignment and transition.

The Lakers’ ball must be in Kobe Bryant’s hands.

There is no doubt about that.

Facing Josh Howard’s defense, Bryant dribbled the ball and immediately turned his back to single.

With his back technique, there is no player in the entire league who has mastered him better.

After a feint tested Howard’s defensive center of gravity, Bryant decisively turned forward and stepped back to shoot a jumper.

Hit!

0:2

The Lakers took the lead, and the scene was enthusiastic.

The Mavericks attacked, Pei Yun dribbled to the frontcourt, and Odom appeared in front of him.

In previous matches, most of Pei Yun’s point guards were in their early 190s, and some were around 200, and he met a big “point guard” like Odom who was 208 for the first time.

In the face of a big point guard, Pei Yun’s chances to pass the ball and directly dry will be reduced.

Even if you have the skill of [Breaking Defense Attack], the flaws that can be found come more from breakthroughs than shooting.

And Pei Yun and Dampier or Nowitzki are best at blocking offense on the three-point line, and there will not be much misalignment after changing defenses.

Pei Yun is very clear that he needs to change his style of play in this game.

The Mavericks weren’t all unprepared for this game, as coach Carlisle developed a slightly more complex offensive tactic for them a week ago.

In the past few days of team training, this set of tactics has been used very skillfully.

On the field, the Mavericks’ tactics are already in action.

Jason Terry slipped to the bottom line, and Nowitzki gave him a no-ball block from the weak side.

At the same time, Josh Howard mentioned the high position to help Terry do another second block.

Pei Yun saw the timing and passed the ball to Terry at the bottom corner three-point line.

The Lakers’ rotation didn’t keep up, and Pau Gasol was in the best defensive position, but his speed and concentration weren’t enough to get him in place.

Terry made a decisive three-point shot.

Hit!

3:2

After the goal, Terry put on his signature celebratory move: jet flying!

Seeing that the tactics were executed so smoothly, Carlisle under the field had a smile that was absolutely imperceptible to others.

Now this Maverick team is playing very united, on the field, they play with Pei Yun as the center, even Novitsky, who is also very capable, there is no disunity because Pei Yun has gained power.

Off the field, everyone trusts him as the head coach, including Pei Yun, who is also seriously executing Carlisle’s coach on the field.

Carlisle is very pleased with this, and he feels that such a team is his ideal type.

His ambition is to win the championship with such a team!

If he could, he would dedicate all of his coaching career to the city of Dallas.

On the court, the Lakers attacked.

Gasol began to mention the high back to the ball to respond, and the Lakers players began to run around the sides.

After a block and a run, Ariza cut under the basket and Gasol passed the ball into place.

Ariza was pressureless under Terry’s defense and scored a dunk.

3:4

The smile of the Zen master in the audience was very intriguing, and he said: “You can tactical, I will too!” ” look.

The Mavericks attack, or the launch of the tactic just now, Terry ran to the bottom line.

But this time, Gasol had an early warning, and he delayed going out early.

But Carlisle’s tactics are not so simple, and he has a lot of tricks in it.

As soon as Gasol was delayed, Novitsky took advantage of the situation to go to the basket.

Pei Yun passed the ball to Nowitzki, and facing Kobe Bryant, who came to make up for it, Novitsky used his height to hit the basket.

4:5

The Lakers offense is still Gasol’s high-position strategy.

After he got the ball, the Lakers players began to run at high speed.

Carlisle on the sidelines looked in the eye and knew it was a “Princeton tactic”.

Apparently, Zen Master copied the tactics of Adelman during the Gorgeous King, using Gasol in the high position as a countermeasure, and the rest of the players running in position.

This is a complex tactic, and if you don’t have enough tacit understanding and proficiency, it’s easy to make mistakes or fail to achieve results.

The Lakers’ on-court configuration is also inferior to the Kings of the ’02 season, and they don’t have a sharpshooter like Peja on the court.

But the difference is that the Lakers have a super scorer, Kobe.

When this tactic can’t run, or doesn’t run out, Kobe can catch the ball anywhere and complete the attack.

His finishing ability, the league is second to none!

If it goes well, then you can easily tear through the opponent’s defense and score.

It has to be said that Zen Master has pieced together and mutated Princeton tactics, and it is very applicable to today’s Lakers.

Carlisle saw it in his eyes, and he felt that he had learned something different tonight, which was very profound!

In the end, Bryant ran back to catch the ball, and the jump shot completed the offense.

Syllable!

Unfortunately, the iron hit, but the baby shark Bynum came out of the sky, forced Dampier to grab the rebound, and made up for the dunk.

6:5

The Mavericks attacked, Terry ran back, Howard cut empty, the ball passed to Howard, and he jumped high to the basket to challenge Bynum.

It’s a pity that it was covered.

The Lakers attacked, Odom missed a three-pointer, but Gasol got a rebound and hit it from mid-range.

8:5

……

Today’s “second center in the West” Dampier seems to be in some trouble, and the opponent’s fast-rising “Shark” Bynum this season is not only tall and weighty, but also explosive and aggressive, but also active in scrambling for rebounds.

This left the interior of Dampier and Nowitzki a little overwhelmed, and the Mavericks frequently dropped rebounds.

Although the Mavericks’ offensive efficiency was not bad, the score began to be gradually pulled apart.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed by seven points on the road at 27:34.

This quarter, they lost too many rebounds, Shark Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Ariza, and even Kobe, each player has very strong rebounding ability and hard work.

It’s a stark contrast to today’s Mavericks.

In contrast, Dan Pier, the Mavericks’ only rebounder, has lost his former power in frequent confrontations and encirclements.

Carlyle doesn’t have a particularly good hard way to do this.

In the end, he has no one to use, and fighting hard with the Lakers for rebounds is obviously an unwise choice.

That doesn’t mean Carlisle doesn’t have other options, though.

The “soft way” is to avoid their edge and use another advantage to fight them.

In the second half of the second quarter, Coach Carlisle replaced the “four small” lineup that Pei Yun suggested to him.

Nowitzki plays center, along with Peiyun, Kidd, Terry and Stackhouse.

Reduce average height on the field and have faster movement and projection.

For the Mavericks’ sudden change of formation, Zen Master did not respond immediately.

Just because in his tactical treasure book, he does not agree with this kind of four small lineup.

D’Antoni’s Suns are such a lineup, as is Nelson’s Warriors Sr., which does have super scoring explosiveness, but it is not stable.

And it turns out that neither the Suns nor the Warriors, even if they use this lineup to the extreme, will not be able to win a championship.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Zen master, who has won countless championships, he does not disdain this small-ball tactic.

The two sides intersect with each other.

The Lakers, for their part, made fine adjustments, replacing the slow-moving inside Bynum with the old fish Fisher.

The Lakers, on their part, still play high, taking advantage of the height advantage of Gasol, Odom and Ariza, they occupy a large number of rebounds, and their offensive efficiency has improved.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, changed the positional warfare style of the first quarter and took the initiative to play fast.

Pei, Terry, Starkhouse and Nowitzki shot decisively from beyond the three-point line whenever they had the opportunity.

Even if he falls into position, he will give the ball to Nowitzki and let him play single Gasol.

Although Novitsky in this period had not yet comprehended the invincible Golden Rooster Independent stunt, Gasol, who was not stronger than him in singles, was still at ease with ease.

Once the Lakers have a bag with Nowitzki, he will pass the ball, and at that time, the four outside players lined up by the Mavericks will inevitably make a decisive shot.

In this rhythm, Pei Yun began to hit consecutive three-pointers.

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

Catch throws, dribbling throws, step back throws…

Pei Yun’s three-point performance begins!

Fisher defense, Kobe defense, Ariza defense…

No matter who defended, Pei Yun made a decisive move, once he missed, the next time he shot more decisively!

For a time, it rained three minutes in the Staples Center.

The Zen master in the audience couldn’t sit still and decisively called a pause.

He wasn’t busy setting up tactics, but spoke to Bryant and Ariza and let them discuss it themselves.

The Zen master communicated with the teaching assistant behind him.

The assistant coach told him that Pei’s way of shooting, which he had seen in a college player named Stephen Curry, hardly made any difference.

In the college league, Stephen Curry is also an excellent shooter, of course, thanks to his NBA dad Dale Curry.

Of course, Zen Master knew that Dale Curry, who almost coached him back then, was an excellent shooter, but his son had become one of the best shooters in the college league.

After understanding this, the Zen master smiled slightly.

They want to win this game, and Kobe and Ariza, the two defensive titans, will soon be on the court to upgrade the game!

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant hit again from mid-range.

49:53

The Mavericks attacked, Kobe personally defended Pei Yun, 198 against 203, Kobe Bryant’s height is shorter and his weight is lighter.

However, he began to give Pei Yun a confrontation in any position, as if the two muscle lines were pulling down the card slot.

Around the front, top back…

Such a purpose is not to let Pei Yun catch the ball.

The NBA of this period, not yet the body hair whistle era that encouraged offense a decade later, encouraged this confrontation, which would make the game look more intense.

Of course, this way of playing is extremely physically demanding.

And it is very likely to lead to a clash between the players of the two sides.

The most notorious Auburn Hills palace bracing incident in NBA history occurred at the beginning of this era.

Kobe’s defensive approach made Pei Yun extremely uncomfortable.

To be honest, Pei Yun still has great respect for Kobe, a superstar who never admits defeat, so he didn’t mean to offend Kobe at all.

However, now that Kobe has begun to take the initiative to find his confrontation, if Pei Yun does not “fight back”, he will be quickly squeezed out of this area by Kobe.

Confrontation, but Pei Yun’s strong point!

He immediately straightened his posture and began to compete with Kobe Bryant.

As soon as he pushed hard, Kobe lost his center of gravity and lost his position.

Obviously, Kobe’s confrontation is not as good as Pei Yun.

However, Kobe, who lost his position, immediately grabbed the position with Pei Yun from another direction.

Even if Pei Yun has excellent confrontation ability, there are weak areas, and Kobe Bryant finds these weak areas to confront him.

Pei Yun is busy confronting Kobe, and between the top demolition, his center of gravity will also shift.

Kidd, who was going to pass the ball to Pei Yun, saw this situation, in order not to make a mistake, he had to give up and pass the ball to Terry on the other side.

It’s just that Kobe’s hard defense can be regarded as effective!
