The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 78 Shocking Changes!
Zhang Bolong did not expect that the "Big Three" team he faced for the first time in his career was not the Boston Celtics, nor the Miami Heat——

It would be the Toronto Raptors.

During the intermission, Phil Jackson sat upright on the Diaoyutai without showing the slightest panic. He is worthy of his title of "Zen Master".

However, he seemed to be calming down, seeing that the second half of the game was about to start, and he didn't see any solution to the problem...

"Zen" doesn't bring victory.

For the current Lakers, what urgently needs to be solved is the limitation of the two strong points of Ford and Bargnani on the inside and outside.

From the outside, neither Zhang Bolong nor Parker can keep up with Ford's footsteps, but Ford's outside shooting is not good, and his shooting percentage is only [-]-[-]%. It is based on breakthroughs.

If the mobility of the inside line can be improved, and the striker can help defend in time when Ford breaks in, it should be able to limit him one or two.

As for Bargnani, he can now be treated as Nowitzki Jr.

Regarding Nowitzki's best defensive method, both the Houston Rockets and Nelson this year have given good answers.

Dirk's ability to dominate the league is not just because of his shooting.

Before the "Golden Rooster Independence" stunt has not yet been achieved, he has few opponents in the paint.

Dirk almost has a mismatch advantage against most defenders.

If it's a taller, slower big man, Dirk can easily deal with it by breaking through or shooting, and you switch to a thin and thin man to defend, then he will directly force him without beeping with you.

Therefore, the Rockets once chose to let McGrady defend him, using his flexible feet and strong physique to make Nuo Tianwang play less comfortably.

One of the reasons why the Warriors in the previous life were able to successfully black eight is that the old Nelson specially tailored a defensive lineup for his beloved disciple, which happened to get stuck in his dead spot and offset the advantage of the king's dislocation.

Whether it is the "Warrior Saint" Stephen Jackson or the power forward Al Harrington, they all have strong bodies and flexible mobility. They are over two meters tall and neither tall nor short. Greatly limited the play of Nowitzki.

And for the current Lakers, the most suitable defensive player is really Lama Odaidai who has just been deflated.

Those who are taller than Aw, like Bynum and Brown, are not as flexible as Dirk; those who are lower than him, like Wharton and Sasha, are not as fast as Dirk...

It's not that Kobe can't defend, but he has a more important task, which is to maintain outside deterrence and be ready to help defend Ford at any time.

From this point of view, it is no wonder that the "Zen Master" did not say a word,

Unfortunately, this woman doesn't know, there is really no rice at home...

Suddenly, Zhang Bolong seemed to think of something.

Physically, he's pretty strong.

Compared with height... It seems that "Martial Saint" Jackson is not much taller than him.

No matter how slow I am, it is still compared to outside players. Can I still keep an eye on you fake Nowitzki?
In the somewhat silent locker room, Zhang Bolong suddenly said:
"If not, then let me defend him!"

"Defense against whom?"

"That rookie!"

Zhang Bolong, who is also a rookie, volunteered to the "Zen Master" like an old ball ruffian.

Phil Jackson's eyes lit up, and he looked Zhang Bolong up and down.

"Are you confident, Dragon, that kid is seven feet tall, and he's having a career night."

Kobe also put a hand on his shoulder.

He knew that Zhang Bolong's decision required a lot of courage, because if he was blown up by Bargnani face to face, Zhang Bolong would become a shining golden stepping stone.

Help Bargnani, the undisturbed champion, become famous in one fell swoop.

This is an investment where the risks outweigh the rewards.

But Zhang Bolong still wanted to give it a try.

His barefoot height is 193 centimeters, and he has reached at least 196 centimeters after wearing basketball shoes, which is two meters when rounded.

Although it is far from the two-meter-one Bargnani, basketball is not a sport that can be played with height.

Seeing that Zhang Bolong was very determined, Phil Jackson was also happy to come up with this unique move. Anyway, the Lakers' lineup is limited, so they can only try their best to play the maximum role of each card.

The second half of the game is about to begin,
Zhang Bolong, who walked out of the locker room, felt the burden on his shoulders.

The goals and requirements of the task are no longer important. When he thinks that only he can stand up for the team, he can't back down no matter what.

He suddenly felt like a warrior.

It's like being an incarnation of David, facing the giant Goliath that the system personally arranged for him.

"Kobe, how did Goliath die?"

"Aha?"

……

"Okay, guys, the second half has started. I guess that Phil guy must have slept in the locker room, they can't solve Bargnani's problem." Kenny Smith said.

"I feel sorry for my little idol, oh no, after today, people will start discussing who is the best rookie of the year." Barkley said.

"The Lakers are not without chances in this game. I am optimistic that Kobe and Long can regain their strength. After all, no one on the opposite side can prevent their attacks." Miller is still optimistic about the Lakers.

"So, let's take a look at the transformation of the two sides. On the Raptors side, Bargnani and Bosh guard the inside, small forward Anthony Parker, shooting guard Peterson, point guard Ford, no change from the first half .”

Ernie Johnson paused, then looked at the Lakers, "The Lakers' point guard is Smush Parker, shooting guard Kobe Bryant, Dragon is still on the court, hey, why did Dragon go inside? My God?! "

On the court, Ford tried to break through Parker, but "Reaper"'s defense was more ferocious than in the first half and successfully blocked his breakthrough.

Ford looked at Kobe, who was ready to help defend at any time, and chose to hang the ball to Bargnani inside.

Bargnani received the ball and leaned his back against Zhang Bolong who was defending him, with a sneer on his face.

Although he didn't know why he was able to play such a heaven-defying performance, he could even catch such moves as "Golden Rooster Independence".

But he is willing to regard this as God's will, which is the talent and glory that a No. [-] pick should enjoy.

But now, he seems to have got the script of a Hollywood hero, and the opposite Lakers actually sent this guy in front of him!

This is a godsend!I got the chance to blow him up in person!

Today is his famous battle for Bargnani!
He wants to step on this kid who has been in the limelight from the very beginning, to get where he should go!

　Code words are also physical labor... It's dazzled after a day.
