3月4日，坐镇主场的湖人队遭遇了连败，球队以91比104输给了上赛季总决赛的底特律活塞队。（38-22）

As the top defensive team in the league, the Spurs have Duncan as a rim protector and Bowen as a stalker on the outside. The defensive strategy is to hold the ball from the flanks to the bottom line on both sides, and send the ball in the middle. Make up for Duncan, so Kobe and Tracy McGrady, who can make strong shots against Bowen near the free throw line and on both sides of the waist, and Ray Allen, who is good at shooting, and even Reid have played well against the Spurs.

In the game between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Spurs, who were clearly superior in strength, also relied on Duncan to open Wushuang and forcibly penetrated the inside of the Lakers to win in a thrilling manner.

The Pistons' defensive strategy focuses on "pressure", putting pressure on the ball holder; putting pressure on the off-ball player.The former is to block the shot, which is to block the pass.Prince, Hamilton, Billups and Hunter (who is actually the best perimeter defender in the Pistons) press constantly, double Wallace inside.This team is good at being missed by the opponent, can easily suffocate the opponent's shooting rhythm; can paralyze the opponent's offensive coordination. . . . . . .

The Pistons' defensive strengths almost blocked the Lakers' advantages across the board. In this game, the Pistons firmly clamped down on Kobe.

Fortunately, I was reminded by Ke Yan yesterday that Kobe did not have a head shot in this game. He increased his passing when the opportunity was not good. He made 20 of 9 shots and 7 of 6 free throws in the game. He only scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. .

Although the whole game fell behind, the Lakers and the Pistons fought to the end of the game, thanks to Anderson and Butler's outstanding performance in offensive rebounds and grasped the opportunity of the second attack.

The game was lost, but the scene was not ugly.

In the last three games, the Lakers have lost two games, and their state has fluctuated.However, considering that the opponents in the two games lost were the Heat and the Pistons, and even the opponents who won were the top five Celtics in the Eastern Conference, this result is actually not that bad?

The two losses in the face of strong teams are also an opportunity for the team to cool down.Some time ago, the team performed well, and the Los Angeles media bragged for the Lakers.To be honest, there have been a few games this season that were fought with a little bit of luck, but luck cannot be on the Lakers' side every time.

. . . . . .

Luck will not always be on the side of the Nets, but at least this season, it should always be on the side of the Sonics. The team's record is "only" 39 wins and 21 losses, but it ranks third in the West, behind the No. The four Mavericks won four games because of the league's fucking rules, and the champions of the three divisions rank among the top three.

However, Ke Yan doesn't like the way the outside world belittles the Supersonics too much, and even conveys that "teams in the lower half want to touch the Supersonics".It is true that the Sonics took advantage of the division and ranked ahead of the Mavericks with a better record than themselves.But their current record of 39 wins and 21 losses is also the fourth in the West, which should not be regarded as a big gift package due to circumstances and reasons.

Mobilized before the game, Ke Yan also pointed this out in the locker room: "Whether it is in terms of record or the two matches this season, we are all behind our opponents. I don't want everyone to be disturbed by outside voices, and I don't want you to embrace With the idea of ​​'it's better to drop to sixth'."

The strategy for a season is something that the management and the coaching staff should consider, and the players should only consider winning!

The game begins on the pitch.The starting lineup of the Lakers has not changed, it is still the same starting lineup.

Sonics starters: point guard Ridnour, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Rashard Lewis, power forward Radmanovich and center Jerome James.

In the first round of the offense, Lewis hit a mid-range jumper against Butler's defense. (2:0)

The team's outstanding performance this season has given Lewis considerable confidence. With his confidence, a shooter like him will be more resolute in his shots and his touch will also improve.

"Caron has made some progress on the defensive end this season, but his defensive effect will be greatly reduced when facing such a tall and long shooting player." Monty Williams reminded.

"The Supersonic team's single defense ability is relatively average, and it can't solve our offensive strength."

On the court, the Lakers handed over Kobe to handle several consecutive offensive rounds.

A one-step lateral jumper, a misplaced pull-up after a screen, an emergency stop shot in the middle of a breakthrough.........

Kobe felt good after the opening game, making simple and efficient hits one after another, leading the Lakers to a 6:0. The Sonics did not have a corresponding defensive configuration, and there was nothing they could do about Kobe's personal offense.

Supersonic positional battle, Lewis and Radmanovich pulled apart on the right.

Ridnour dribbled the ball to Ray Allen after halftime and ran to the left corner. Ray Allen faced Kobe in the middle and turned his back to protect the basketball. Ridnor ran back on the left and was covered by Jerome James. Get rid of Atkins' defense, catch the ball on the left and make a three-pointer.

Without interference, Anderson was stunned by Ridnour's ball, and hit a nearly open three-pointer, 5 to 6.

The Lakers attacked. Kobe played Ray Allen in singles and back-to-back singles. Radmanovich came over and formed a double-team.

Jerome James took off continuously and clicked the ball out. Ray Allen grabbed the backcourt rebound, turned around and dribbled to the frontcourt. He stopped in front of the right three-point line to meet Kobe and shot a three-pointer and made a hit! 8:6.

The Supersonic "Warriors Arrows" is also a must in the league. Their three-pointers are very fast. Sometimes you lead by 20 points and feel at ease. Your main lineup will be called back.

The Lakers attacked, and Odom came to the corner to do a "hand-off" with Kobe, but when the ball was about to reach Kobe's hands, he took it back, turned around and passed Radmanovich, and scored a layup. 8:8.

Odom has used this trick many times, and it has been tried and tested.Kobe's offensive threat is too great, the containment force is too strong, Odom is also a thief, and he can always catch him by surprise.

The Supersonics attacked in a positional battle, the players pulled away, Ridnour and Radmanovich played a pick-and-roll, took a step to the center and passed back to Radmanovich who circled to the wing, and the latter kept holding the ball , assigned to the bottom left corner.

Ray Allen ran in a 70-degree circle from the right to the left corner to catch the ball, turned to face the frame, and took the ball.

Kobe defended against Ray Allen, but Ray Allen's off-the-ball movement disrupted his rhythm. It was already very difficult to follow up with the defense. Before he could take off in time, he scored a three-pointer! 11 to 8.

The Lakers attacked, and after Kobe broke through the Sonics' defense, he attracted a double-team and gave it to the open Butler. The latter missed a three-pointer and Jerome James protected the rebound.

Ke Yan is already a coach who pays more attention to outside shooting in the league, but there is still a gap compared with the Supersonic built by McMillan.

Kobe Bryant + Butler VS Ray Allen + Lewis' flank duel, the attitude presented is that neither side can defend the other side, it depends on who has the better ability to grasp the opportunity!

After another 3 minutes, the Sonics led 16-13 at home.Lewis and Ridnor each had a good chance to miss a three-pointer, which also made Ke Yan aware of the team's defensive end not keeping up with the Supersonics' off-ball movement. He called a timeout before the official timeout and rearranged the ball. Team defense!
