Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

The Lakers' offense started at the moment when the Suns began double-teaming Kobe, and it was suddenly revitalized!

Kwame Brown, Luke Walton, Odom, these role players showed their power one after another, scoring points through passing the ball and attacking inside, and whenever the Lakers scored the ball, the person closest to the basket would immediately Started to interfere with the Suns' baseline ball, and the others quickly returned to the defense to prevent the Suns' fast break.

The fragile and pitiful inside line of the Suns was completely blown up by the Lakers in the rest of the first quarter. D'Antoni quickly realized that something was wrong, and began to reduce the double-teaming of Kobe, and replaced Kurt at the same time. When Thomas strengthened his defense around the rim, it turned out to be useless!

Kobe has completely transformed into a selfless version of himself, he will continue to get the ball in the high post or waist, then pretend to attack, and then find the holes in the Suns defense

Delivering ammunition to the basket, even if he didn't find an opportunity, Kobe didn't shoot as many difficult shots as he did in the regular season.

His first choice is to give the ball to Odom, the team's actual organizer.

It's up to Odom to decide how-how to hit the shot!

Of course, Odom also continued to implement Phil Jackson's tactics, or break through by himself, or choose to directly score the ball to the basket!

With this tactic of the Lakers, D'Antoni was caught off guard and couldn't think of any way to adjust. The Suns immediately fell into a passive position. Until the end of the first quarter and when Kobe went to rest, the scores of the two sides in the first quarter became even. At 26:22, the Lakers maintained a 4-point advantage.

In the last 5 minutes of the first quarter, the Lakers played a small offensive climax through their defense and the strategy of attacking the basket, although they did not lead by too many points

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the initiative of the situation is in the hands of the Lakers!

In the second quarter of the game, the main players of both sides only rested for about 2 minutes before quickly getting on the court. The Lakers wanted to continue to consolidate their weak lead, while the Suns wanted to bring the rhythm of the game up and let the Let the team run! That's the Suns' favorite rhythm.

It's a pity that this matter is easy to think, but it is even more difficult to do it!

In particular, half of the energy of the defensive end of the Lakers is put on preventing the Suns from playing fast! Even Nash, facing Parker, it is difficult to play a decent fast attack as easily as before!

The Suns have never been able to play comfortably, and the Lakers have beaten them on the inside. That is to say, Brown and Walton's level is too low to kill anyone, and the Suns' offensive resources are really rich. Nash, Jackson can be called a first-class offensive player.

Lin Zhan also has physical advantages when facing Wharton Jr., and can also use his speed advantage to break through Wharton's defense and complete the attack frame.

But the rhythm of the game is still in the hands of the Lakers!

At the end of the first half, the Lakers still led the Suns by 8 points 48:40. Anyone who is familiar with the Suns' style of play knows that as the team with the best offense and running ability in the entire NBA, if they Only 40 points in the half game, then there must be a huge problem!

During the halftime break, D'Antoni continued to arrange things on the offensive end. He asked Diaw, Jackson and Lin Zhan to return to the backcourt to catch the ball and help Nash dribble the ball across the half court, but D'Antoni also knew that this was just a temporary solution. The fundamental approach, because Nash is only advancing slowly, and his turnovers are still well controlled, with only one time in the first half.

Parker can only slow down Nash's advance, but he can't make Nash make a mistake at all. A few more people in the backcourt can catch the ball, maybe the speed of advancement can be improved, but no one in the frontcourt catches the ball, no matter how fast he pushes, it's useless, isn't it? ?

Of course, D'Antoni also knows this truth, but he can't think of any way to alleviate this situation for the time being.

The second half of the game began soon. The Lakers' first offensive possession was still Kobe holding the ball at the top of the arc to face Lin Zhan. Now Kobe no longer waited for the Suns to double-team him. Walton Jr. and Odom has played out his experience. He just observed the defense and directly hoisted the ball into the inside.

On the inside, Walton put his back on Marion, pushed forward while paying attention to the situation on the court. Suddenly, Walton turned around and walked to the baseline and rushed to the basket. When Dior just got up to help defend Walton, Walton Already a ground pass to Kwame Brown who was emptied again at the basket!

Brown pulled up the ball directly, and smashed the dunk with both hands!

After dunking, Brown scored 10 points in this game. The former No. 1 pick who has always been called a parallel importer completely played with confidence, hammered his chest, and kept roaring.

Lin Zhan looked at Kobe and cursed inwardly.

Who said that Kobe is a lone wolf who doesn't pass the ball? When he wants to pass, he has a high level of passing! Especially in the matter of lobbing inside, because of Kobe's super high threat, outside players dare not go. Double-teams the inside player with the ball, which allows the inside player to have more space.

At the same time, don't forget that Kobe has a very good air cut and off-the-ball ability. Even if he doesn't have the ball in his hand, no one dares to relax his defense!

Most of the time, Kobe is not willing to pass the ball. His strong self-confidence makes him feel that passing it is far less efficient than doing it by himself! Or you can know from the column called "Details" that Kobe made after retiring , Kobe often knows which balls are better to pass, and it is unreasonable to play by himself.

But Kobe's basketball philosophy is not unreasonable. His basketball philosophy is: the same is 2 points. If I can destroy the confidence of the opponent with a difficult goal, then I will not let the open teammates layup! Destroy The opponent's psychological defense makes him feel that it is impossible to stop Kobe from scoring, which is far more meaningful than these 2 points!

This is one of the reasons why Kobe has so many fans and has so many cross games!

Facing the selfless version of Kobe, Lin Zhan found it a bit difficult to start.

His trash talk has no effect on Kobe, who is known for his tough personality. The more Kobe passes on, the happier he is, and the more he plays, the more handy he is. Even Kobe has only scored 12 points and sent 4 assists so far. The statistics look like Plain and simple, but the complacency and relaxation on his face [is something Lin Zhan has never seen in the regular season!

This guy is enjoying the game!

Lin Zhan couldn't help but look at Phil Jackson again, this old man is really not simple.

Throughout his coaching career, no matter what kind of beasts, thorns, lunatics, and megalomaniacs, as long as they are under his hands, they will all play well obediently.

Arrogant like Kobe, Jordan, thorny like Rodman, Artest, one counts as one, as long as you come, you are a good player who plays diligently and honestly!

The tactics deployed by D'Antoni in the midfield still failed to get the Suns up.

Lin Zhan once again received a pass from Nash at the top of the arc, but Payton pounced on him immediately. Facing Payton's defense, Lin Zhan didn't talk nonsense. The Suns can only rely on their personal ability. And local matchup advantage to break through the Lakers!

Lin Zhan's shoulder trembled slightly, and then immediately accelerated to start, forcibly accelerating and overtaking from Wharton's side.

Although Wharton has a height of 2 meters and a long wingspan, he seems to have a perfect defensive size, but his movement is surprisingly slow. Looking at his speed in the entire NBA, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a few people who can be slower than him.

Lin Zhan's breakthrough was still very simple. He easily passed Wharton and rushed to the basket. Watching Brown rushing from the basket, Lin Zhan did not dare to relax.

Although the whole world knows that Kwame Brown is a parallel importer, and his skills and mentality are not worth mentioning, but his height, athletic ability and ability to defend the rim, no one dares to Say a bad word.

Even in some years, Brown is the defender with the highest low defensive efficiency in the entire NBA!

However, in the NBA arena, there is not only the low-back play as an offensive method! Once encountering a defensive rotation, Brown's defense is very prone to the shortcomings of poor position selection and wrong timing of saves, such as this time!

Lin Zhan saw Brown pounced on him, and he hit the ground to pass the ball. The basketball jumped over Brown and came to Dio. Although Odom immediately made up for it, Dio also trembled. Catch the ball and take off, complete the dunk!

D'Antoni sat on the chair and thought for a while, then stood up again, and made a 2 with both hands on the court.

Seeing D'Antoni's gesture, Lin Zhan couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Of course it wasn't because D'Antoni suddenly made two "yeah" to show his cuteness.

But Lin Zhan knows that D'Antoni's gesture means that the team will play the No. 2 position next, that is, himself!

Shall I attack Wharton?

Lin Zhan glanced at Wharton, who was white and slow behind him, fully able to bear the adjective "big white soft", and was extremely confident.

I may not be very efficient against Kobe, but against you Wharton, I can easily fight one hand at a time?

On the Lakers side, Kobe is still holding the ball in a high position. In order to make room for the team's inside line, Kobe almost completely gave up his favorite low post and waistline in this game, and has been active on the line.

…… Ask for flowers………

"Kobe, you always catch and play the ball here. You like and miss this feeling very much." Lin Zhan couldn't help it, and opened his mouth again to sarcastically: "Will it remind you of your previous three consecutive championships?" The glorious years? Do you miss those days as a younger brother very much?"

"You want to hit me with this?" Kobe smiled, then jumped up suddenly, and threw the ball directly to Odom who cut to the free throw line: "Lin, if you can't hit me, I just want to win! You want me to lose my mentality and start attacking myself? Then you must lead by at least 10 points!"

Lin Zhan’s discussion was boring, so he could only curl his lips and stop talking. Kobe’s words were good. In this situation in the game, any trash talk will not work against Kobe. It will only make him think that his current style of play is correct Yes, that's right!

With this ball, Odom failed to hit a layup, Lin Zhan immediately sped up and ran towards the frontcourt. After Dior grabbed the rebound, he did not go to Nash again, but took two shots by himself and directly sent a long pass. The ball was thrown into the hands of Lin Zhan who was going down quickly, facing Kobe who was clinging to him.

Lin Zhan didn't rush to go up by himself, but after a little delay, he passed the ball to the middle.

There is Jackson, who has already left Walton behind. After catching the ball, he drove straight to the basket and dunked with one hand, and scored another 2 points!

The Suns finally made an offensive and defensive transition through their signature fast break!

And if someone takes a closer look at the technical statistics, they will be surprised to find that this is actually only the Suns' first fast break score!

They played 3 quarters and it was only a fast break! You can see how effective Jackson's strategy is here!

This fast break did not change the strategy of the Lakers, they continued their style of attacking the inside.

The Suns gave Lin Zhan the power of offense and asked him to go one-on-one with Walton in the high position!

Facing Wharton, Lin Zhan knows that any fake moves are false. Although this guy is mediocre in physical fitness, his basketball IQ is really high! It is difficult to fool Walton with any fake moves, and he doesn't want to be fooled at all!

attack

To hit Wharton, you have to be simple and direct, choose a direction, and forcefully accelerate to overtake. Wharton will definitely not be able to keep up!

In the 3 consecutive rounds, Lin Zhan easily passed Wharton in one step, and after rushing into the paint, he made a layup or scored a teammate!

For 3 consecutive offenses, the Suns succeeded!

After this made Jackson frown, he still held back and did not call a timeout.

Of course he can ask Kobe to defend Lin Zhan, but in that case, Jackson might beat out Wharton's eggs!

After all, although Lin Zhan was suddenly fierce, at least he didn't attack Wharton's confidence with physical confrontation. If it was Jackson, maybe Jackson wouldn't be able to play so many easy moves.

Loose bouts, but he'll use his elbows, trash talk, footwork, and tough body, causing Walton massive insecurities and fears!

Jackson has always mastered the psychology of his players very well! He knows who is suitable for what style of play, how to coach them, and what they like best.

What kind of inspiration is this, which is why so many players can play the best performance of their careers under Jackson.

Throughout the third quarter, the two sides entered into a stalemate again. The Suns still couldn't restrain the Lakers' inside offense. By the end of the third quarter, Walton, Odom and Brown

Lang, the three big insiders of the Lakers, has all scored in double figures, and the three have scored 41 points and 21 rebounds in total!

The Lakers smashed the opponent inside, which is a very rare thing in their entire season.

For the Suns, Lin Zhan ushered in a big explosion in the third quarter. He completely overwhelmed Walton and formed a wonderful single-point explosion. He scored 1 in the third quarter alone.

4 points, 3 assists, 4 rebounds, and 1 steal!

But this is the case, Jackson just refrained from making defensive changes. The cards in his hand are too limited and there is no room for adjustment.

As long as Walton is on the court, no matter facing Lin Zhan, Marion or Jackson, it is the result of being beaten non-stop.

Under Lin Zhan's outburst, the Suns finally recovered some points in the third quarter, and the score between the two sides became 68:71.

The Suns were only behind by one 3-pointer, and the gap between the two sides was only one round!.
