Above All Beings in the NBA

As a defensive coach, Van Gundy thought hard for a night about the defensive strategy against the Lakers. He felt very good about himself, but now he is short of practical results. If he succeeds, Van Gundy will leave a strong mark in the history of basketball coaches. When ranking the coaches, he may also be able to advance a few positions. After all, this is a team that is considered invincible in any era.

To say a thousand, to say ten thousand, Van Gundy's defense is still a zone defense in the final analysis. It is nothing more than using Howard's speed and defensive deterrence to invisibly reduce the defensive pressure of the rest. However, the Lakers, this is the Lakers. A good way is three-pointers and breakthrough hits. Which of these two items is not what the Lakers are good at?

The change of the Magic's defensive formation did not escape Kobe's eyes, or everyone in the Lakers could see that the Magic was playing zone defense. After all, Yao Ming and Pau Gasol have both experienced international competitions. Hao, it's useless for him to join forces or not to defend him. Anyway, he can't be defended against him.

Kobe narrowed his eyes and passed the ball directly to Yao Ming in the low post. Both Wang Hao and Kobe stood in Yao Ming's field of vision. Sure enough, just as Yao Ming was about to hit back, Turkoglu ran over to interfere, and Yao Ming directly passed the ball to Yao Ming. The ball was passed back to Wang Hao, who caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

"That's it, joint defense?"

Playing basketball, no matter what kind of defensive zone defense or man-to-man, is based on the situation that the gap between the two sides is not too big. Like the Lakers and Magic today, is the gap not too big?The Lakers can completely abandon any tactics, and they can kill the Magic even if they are straightforward. The Magic still want to use zone defense to limit the Lakers?

As strong as the Celtics, the Spurs, they have Garnett, Duncan, and Bowen did not say that they expect to use zone defense to limit the Lakers. It can only be said that Van Gundy is no longer suitable for the NBA. He should obediently go to ESPN as his commentator .

"Charles, what did I see, the Magic are defending zone defense?"

"Kenny, even I can think of countless ways to break the defense, let alone Zen Master?"

"Go to the doctor in a hurry, Van Gundy has nothing to do, and he has no one to use."

In fact, if Van Gundy also brought up Gortat and played a twin tower, then the Magic's zone defense might still have some effect, but then their offensive firepower would drop a notch. In the final analysis, there is no one for the Magic.

The Magic's zone defense broke down after the Lakers played two consecutive rounds, and the game returned to the man-to-man mark at the beginning.

"That's right, heads-up is the best."

"I haven't tasted the feeling of being double-teamed for a long time, I miss it"

After Kobe hit one again, he pretended to be B and said, even leaving crystal liquid in his eyes.

"I'm stupid, dramatist."

The Magic's offense also wants to learn from the Lakers, playing a dislocation. The problem is that the best point of the Magic's dislocation is that Howard hits outside players and uses his body to push, but Howard's range is only at the basket. You can't expect him to dribble to the basket. , so a deformed sun-style pick-and-roll appeared. Howard resisted the pick-and-roll, and let alone how he blocked it. The Magic's passer alone can't compare with Nash, but it seems that there is no way to do it. in the way.

Things were going according to their script. After Master Huo picked and rolled, Alston threw the ball directly to Master Huo who was cutting. Sun Dasheng really couldn't stop Master Huo, and Wang Hao came to defend.

The corner of Master Huo's mouth curled up. Obviously, Wang Hao's defense was also expected by the Magic. He wanted to use a fake pass to show off his own pass, but the action came out, the ball was not passed, and he was directly caught. If the palm was cut off, it would be better if he passed it directly to Turkoglu.

"This guy, you still want to show off in front of me?"

Wang Hao said disdainfully.

Turkoglu stretched out his hands to catch the loneliness, and had no choice but to return to the defense. Wang Hao and Kobe played a two-line fast break. After Wang Hao passed the ball to Kobe who ran to the three-point line, he ran towards the basket. Turkoglu was on the verge of a formidable enemy, thinking that this was another lob cooperation from the Lakers. As a result, Kobe, who was standing outside the three-point line, just made the shot.

"Voted?"

"Voted"

Swish!

The goal was scored, and Turkoglu realized that he was right, Kobe made a three-pointer, and Wang Hao's entry into the interior was nothing more than an extra layer of assurance, and he came to grab a rebound.

The Magic continued to play the pick-and-roll. In their view, if Howard didn't kill himself for the last shot, it would be an exquisite cooperation. Howard was also honest, looking for opportunities to pass the ball steadily, but the problem was the Magic's ball. The man is Alston, and everyone knows that when he cooperates with Yao Ming, he doesn't like to pass the ball inside. Don't ask why, it is the pride of the streetball king.

At that time, Yao Ming also suffered from not having a good passer.

Now he is also a super center forward, and it is also Alston who passed the ball. He passed the first ball quite well, but for the second ball, he was careful.

"You Howard is as stupid as a show. It makes no sense that I can't be the street ball king."

It’s not that Alston doesn’t want to pass the ball, he just wants to pass a good ball to show his background as a street ball king, and then it’s a tragedy, Dayao is so unpretentious, happy beasts are simple, so he can bear it, The Happy Beast stared at Alston meticulously. The latter got the space to pass the ball and started a wave of hands-on performances. After a false pass, the Happy Beast thought the ball was coming, stretched out its hand, and then saw that the ball was still in Alston’s hands. With a back dribble, the ball came out of Alston's crotch and went straight to the Happy Beast. Sun Dasheng next to him stretched out his hand subconsciously.

Snapped!

The ball broke.

...

"Raff, what are you doing, do you want to be a bench too?"

Kobe hit another chasing three-pointer.

"It doesn't make sense for him to appear in that position?"

The last person in the league to pass the ball like this is almost out of reach now. Although the pass is gorgeous, beautiful, and confusing, but I'm sorry, he is an indiscriminate attack. One person passes the ball and nine people panic. Although Alston has not yet reached that level, there is a saying that the Happy Beast was deceived.

The last player in the league with such a fancy pass is White Chocolate. Although the ball is good-looking, but this kind of player is really difficult to control. He can make several tricks for you with a simple ground hit pass. People are confused, how can this kind of player be used?Besides, the passing of the ball is good-looking, isn't it also 2 points?Up to 3 points?When you look at the Lakers SHOWTIME, there is evidence of a championship.

The Magic made two mistakes in a row and directly expanded the point difference to 10 points. Seeing that the script was going like the previous game, veteran Lewis stepped forward.

Lewis, who had been silent in the last game, hit a three-pointer against Gasol at such a critical moment, continuing the firepower for the Magic.

Gasol responded in the middle, and the ball in his hand was stabbed by Alston. Lewis tried his best to make a fast break, stood on the three-point line, and imitated Kobe and hit a chasing three-pointer. In just two rounds, the score was chased by the Magic to 4 points.

"Old man, you have to work hard, you can't paddle anymore."

"What do you say?"

Kobe glanced at Wang Hao.

The killing mode was turned on, and Kobe hit a three-pointer with Courtney Lee defending close to him. At the same time, he also caused a foul by Courtney Lee and succeeded in scoring four points.

On the Magic side, Lewis responded again, and Gasol was a little helpless. He has defended well, and it has been posted, but if he can't stand it, he just goes in.

"This old ghost! Are you sure?"

Lewis' superb performance allowed the Magic to stay within 5 points until the end of the first quarter, and Lewis himself scored 15 points in the first quarter, 7 of 5 three-pointers, nearly 8% The hit rate is quite scary.

"Corona, make a decisive shot. I'll hit the basket in a while, and you can just shoot with confidence from the outside."

A group of Lakers pitchers looked at Kobe enviously. What they wanted most was for the center forward in the team to say, don't worry about shooting, it's all good.

The only one who was unhappy was Jordan, whose playing time was taken away by Wang Hao.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent Wang Hao, Kobe Bryant with Tucker, Battier, Farmar lineup.

Farmer, who was stable at the position of the water dispenser, almost thought he had heard it wrong, and it was not until the Zen Master ordered the second time that Farmer realized it.

Tucker: "I'm number 4?"

Wang Hao: "Don't ask, it hurts my feelings."

Tucker: "..."

There is one thing to say, Tucker can really play at the 4th position, as long as he doesn't meet Duncan, the level of the Wolf King, he can really defend against ordinary people, such as Martin in the Western Conference Finals.

Polish hammer Gortat, JJ Redick, and Pietrus replaced Howard, Alston and Courtney Lee.

For a space-type 4 position like Lewis, Tucker is still very good at defending. In his words, as long as he doesn't go to the basket, who is not defending?
