I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 292 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong (fourth more)

When a team's overall quality is very strong, what tactics the team plays is actually not particularly important.

Although the Lakers continued to use the triangle offense during the two consecutive championships, it was not just the triangle offense that really made them successful.

It is a very tenacious player's will, tacit team cooperation, and close to perfect details of the game.

The triangle offense is not a panacea. If you change the team, change the batch of players and change the tactical environment of the league, it may be nothing.

In the regular season, the Lakers did not rely on the distribution of balls in the triangle offense to grind their positions. They also used small coordination such as backrunning and high-position pick-and-roll cuts to create better scoring opportunities for outside players.

These small tactics can share Kobe's singles pressure.

Last summer, Kobe's training was intermittent, resulting in a slight decline in his regular season performance compared to the 09 season.

After winning the championship this summer, Kobe couldn't train at all, and watched from the sidelines wearing slippers.

It's not that he doesn't want to train. With Kobe's character of breaking his right hand and wanting to practice shooting with his left hand, he will not let him go if there is any part of his body that can be practiced.

It's a pity that I really can't practice anymore, I can only keep it.

After raising it for a whole summer, it is impossible to heal the injury completely, it can only be said to be so-so.

In the regular season, Kobe can still contribute high scores and lead the team to victory.

It's just that his offensive dominance in the game has obviously declined.

For example, in the first quarter of this game, Kobe hardly played low post singles.

Instead, relying on Pau Gasol and Bynum's pick-and-roll cover twice, he hit a mid-range jumper after reaching with the ball.

Kobe used to not play the pick-and-roll, because the pick-and-roll was a side effect tactic for him.

If you don't pick and roll, there is only one man on the opposite side, and he hits casually.

You pick and roll, bring an extra defender over to double-team, one hit two, but it is even more difficult.

But now, Kobe has more pick-and-rolls, because it saves effort.

The Clippers did not double-team Kobe after the pick-and-roll tonight and let him play.

Kobe scored 6 points in a row in the first quarter, but the Lakers felt unaccustomed to playing.

Because the pick-and-roll is not a common tactic for the Lakers, there are too few backup players.

Neither Bynum nor Gasol is the kind of player who can handle the ball very well after the pick-and-roll.

Regardless of whether it is a mid-range down or outside cut, it has this ability, but it is not strong.

Another major point of play after the pick-and-roll is Fisher's three-pointer from the corner.

As a result, Fisher hit a mid-range shot at the start.

The next two corner shots were slapped away by Ricky Davis.

As a result, the Lakers quickly adjusted their offensive strategy and returned to their familiar triangle offense.

Artest, Bynum, and Gasol take turns holding the ball at the corner to form a triangle to distribute the ball.

The Clippers' offense at the beginning is much simpler and rougher. They have experience in confronting the Lakers.

The Lakers started with a shrinking defense, the old Phil Jackson routine.

Therefore, the Clippers insisted on supporting the two heroes in shallow positions, opened the four corners, and shot three-pointers when there was an opportunity from the outside.

Baron Davis hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, Ricky Davis and Bledsoe each hit a three-pointer.

When Harden came on in the middle of the first quarter to replace Bledsoe, he caught the ball in the fast break and hit a three-pointer.

The Lakers originally led the Clippers by about 5 points. Under the Clippers' precise three-point bombing, the point difference became smaller and smaller.

At the end of the first quarter, the Clippers had overtaken the Lakers by 27 points at 25:2.

After the game, the feeling given to the fans is that the Lakers played quite well, combining internal and external, and cooperating very well.

Gasol is 3 of 3 in the high position, and Fisher has gained from the bottom corner and 45 degrees.

Kobe can stand up and finish with his personal ability when the team can't open, and he is good at posting and breakthrough.

Artest missed the shot as always, but he can help the team in other ways, and he has a breakthrough.

Bynum already has the shadow of a super center, with a high success rate of low-post singles.

And what about the Clippers?A three-pointer to the left, a three-pointer to the right, a three-pointer for you, and a three-pointer for me.

Except for Randolph's few offenses in the low post, the others are all outside shots, giving people the feeling that they have no level.

But looking at the score, the Clippers lead by 2 points.

Jackson's shrinking defense is really not easy to use against the Clippers' outside shooting.

This is because Curry is absent due to injury, and it might be even uglier if Curry is on the scene.

Seeing that the Clippers made three-pointers so quickly tonight, Jackson came on the bench in the second quarter, and immediately gave up shrinking defense and changed to man-to-man.

In terms of man-to-man defense, the Lakers have done a good job in details, with less loss of position and less leakage, which tests the personal ability and game focus of the Clippers players.

Sure enough, after the start of the second quarter, Harden made a pass error and was counterattacked by the Lakers. Shannon Brown succeeded in a fast break dunk.

But Harden immediately used a lightning-fast breakthrough to reach the basket, and made up for his mistake just now with a layup with his left hand.

Then the two sides started a blacksmithing war, clanging, if you don't enter, I won't enter, and if I don't enter, you can never succeed.

The Lakers' defensive details are done very well, forcing the Clippers players to also increase their attention, and try not to make mistakes in defense.

As the scoring becomes difficult, the defensive actions on both sides will inevitably become more and more intense, and the concentration of gunpowder in the game will increase.

Artest attacked the mid-low post with the ball, forced Harden with his back, and wanted to layup after turning around.

Harden had quick eyesight and quick hands, and stabbed the ball in Artest's hand from behind.

Artest danced in the air trying to get a foul, but the referee didn't give the whistle.

On the way back to defense, Artest complained to the referee while pushing Harden.

In the frontcourt, Hinrich passed the ball to Harden in the 45-degree area, letting Harden eat Artest one-on-one.

If it is a young Artest, he will have no problem defending any outside line one-on-one.

But after winning the championship, Artest was one year older. He originally had the broken steps of an old lady with small feet, but this year it became slower and more broken.

Harden took a tentative step with the ball facing the basket, suddenly accelerated, passed Artest from the right, and went straight to the basket.

One ball was blocked, another ball was passed, how could Artest bear it now, followed by a slap from behind and knocked the ball out of Harden's hand.

But the ball didn't go at the ball, but at the person, hitting Harden's arm hard.

Harden yelled, which also had an element of acting, but the referee gave the whistle and called Artest's foul.

Artest was not aggrieved when he was called for a foul, but he even went up and pushed Harden, pushing Harden to the ground.

Now the Clippers players were not happy, and Artest was still playing hard on Harden, standing in front of Harden and looking down at the little fat man.

Suddenly a huge force came, he was pushed in the chest, and he took several steps backwards.

What a familiar feeling, the deep memory in Artest's mind was awakened again.

How many years ago was that?Someone pushed me like that at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The power was so great that I almost couldn't stand still and fell to the ground, but when I looked up, it was Big Ben Wallace!
I didn't dare to fight him, but I couldn't beat him. I couldn't control my temper, so I had to sit on the technical table, and then a water bottle fell down and detonated me, and everything happened afterwards.

Someone pushed me again, with such a great force again, who is it!

Artest looked up, he was still a member of the Pistons, a member of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Forget it, it seems that you can't beat it, forget it.

　Fifth watch, wait for a while, to change.
