Chapter 749 (1/2)
”Jackson” Jackson often emphasizes the selfless sharing of the ball. After the formation of a triangle on the strong side of the Lakers, Bogut catches the ball in a low position, and the sun is not good at entrapment. He distributes the ball along the way and shoots the outside.
The suns only play in the low post when Kobe Bryant, which means the inside players pull out, put them in the middle shot is not high.
Xiaosi tries his best to defend, Bogut and just like before rely on two times to the bottom line, strong up, play board score. Two to four.
Bogut returned to defense with his right fist clenched and yelled. This is his favorite method of playing. Today, he finally got the ball and played his specialty.
The Lakers have a good offense. They have to defend to win the suns. After losing points, the Suns coach group is not in a hurry. Even stodamier, who was hit twice by the other side, is not in a hurry. They are used to winning by attacking.
Xiaosi this season has been selected for the best lineup for a while, scoring efficiency in the interior ranked first. His defense area is not good enough is the coach group long expected, after all, he is with the body of power forward to play center.
Sun attack, Guo Xu and Xiaosi middle road play pick and roll, protruding right, weak side Odom does not change defense, Kobe has to empty the bottom corner to make up defense, so Odom can only choose to follow Guo Xu in the side.
At this time, there were three dislocations on the field, Guo Xu on Odom, Xiaosi on Ellis, Marion on Bogut.
Guo Xu took to 45 degrees to turn, with the rest of his eyes to observe Ellis's running position, he did not chase and defend himself on the ball against Odom.
Guo xutu is a big man, and the Lakers have seen it many times in the regular season. How can Odom defend alone? Ellis a bypass cover to catch up with the bag, Guo Xu will be in the middle of the ball.
Xiaosi catches the ball from a high position and enters the net easily. Four to four.
The Lakers attack, Kobe Bryant will pass the ball to the inside line again, Xiaosi is familiar with Bogut's rhythm, the top defense sees the opportunity, jumps up to interfere with the shooting, the ball deviates, Marion grabs the rebound.
In the positional battle, Guo Xu played pick and roll again, attracted the bag and then divided the ball to Xiaosi. Artest let Roy go to make up for defense. Small Si Xu shakes the ball, left 50 degrees Roy catches the ball, attracts Bogut to make up defense, points the ball to the baseline.
Marion got the open position and hit the ball with a wonderful gesture. Six to four.
Zhang reasonable evaluation said: ”after Xiaosi and Marion come back, Guo Xu changes very relaxed, he attracted the bag to clip the ball to be able to watch the lively side, the teammates knew how to play.”
Yu Jia said: ”from 2002 to now, the sun Trident has worked together for five years, and bell has joined the Suns for four years. Their cooperation is much better than that of the Lakers.”
”The two strongest teams in the West have the same team building ideas. The Spurs are also the same core. Around the introduction of role players suitable for the system, the Lakers have never thought about who is suitable to partner with Kobe.”
In the next round, the Laker's tactics changed. Kobe couldn't tolerate Bogut's fourth consecutive shot, single shot bell with the ball, and changed to stop jump shot to play iron under interference.
Jackson gently shook his head on the sidelines. His strategy was to force the Suns to double center in the low position, and let Bogut play continuously as long as he defended, just like O'Neill did.
The Lakers and the Suns have lost 10 games in the playoffs last year. The coaching team knows one thing. If bogutra is allowed to go out, the Lakers will surely lose. In addition to low single play, Jackson also arranged Ellis to break through the ball, and Odom in the middle to play pick and roll.
This is the way the Lakers played in 2002. Point guards and centers need to open up. Kobe has a good chance to play alone and try to break into the basket to lay up or score.
If Kobe's two point long-range lead, the Lakers are finished. In the playoffs, Kobe's three-point line in a step of the midfield have 8 shots, hit 3.4, shooting rate of 42.5%. That's 38.8% higher than last season's, but it's not high enough to lead the team to win.
