NBA human tank

Chapter 256
~

Regardless of what the players and fans think, the game continues.

In fact, Waldpease's three non-sticks still have some impact on the Pelicans.After all, veterans who have played in the league for many years also stumbled in the playoffs, let alone the youngsters.

Every action on the field, every mistake may be the nail on the horse's hoof, and if you don't pay attention, it will lead to the defeat of the entire series.

The same is true for Yang Yi.Just now, Waldpease just cast a three-point shot in his eyes. Only then did he realize that the pressure of the playoffs that people often say is not empty talk.

It seems that the skill of a player lies not only in his own skills, but also in inner strength.Without a strong heart, no matter how good the regular season is, the playoffs may be beaten back to its original shape.

The fat man pushed forward with the ball, and Aminu bypassed Waldpease who was defending him.

The tactics adopted by the Lakers are zone defense, not man-to-man.To a certain extent, this tactic prevents superstars like Yang Yi from forcing their matchups, but to a certain extent, it also completes the defensive loopholes.

Players can't follow the matchup anytime, anywhere, and they can't take immediate action when the opponent plays support.For example, now, after Aminu is in the center to support, the Pelicans move their positions, and Yang Yi also frees up his hands to prepare for an air cut or a round cut.In short, he no longer plays the role of organizer, but fights for a one-shot kill opportunity.

Although he can attack with the ball himself, the efficiency of attacking with the ball is still much lower than running out of space and killing him with one hit.

Besides, he spends less physical energy like this, but he can restrain the Lakers' center of gravity at any time and create relatively easy offensive opportunities for his teammates.

Coordinating tactics will be used a lot by future warriors, and it is through supporting tactics that Wu Xiao's power is brought into play.But the current Pelicans are much weaker than the Warriors after that. Aminu is not as good as Green, and the Pelicans do not have a five-small lineup, nor a golden double gun combination.

But even so, the simple support still caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

The so-called support refers to the offensive team's tactical cooperation in the frontcourt or the whole court through the support organized by the middle players and the transfer of the ball to complete the offensive opportunities of air cuts, wraps and screens.

Aminu is in charge of the center, acting as an intermediary for the other Pelicans players. He connects with his teammates through the ball in his hand and creates offensive opportunities for them.

This is a tactic specially formulated by Williams to deal with the Lakers before.The overall lineup of the Pelicans is very young. Compared with the old Lakers, their movement speed is very fast, which can well target the weakness of the Lakers' slow movement.

But this is not a panacea. Although the Pelicans have increased their speed, they do not have enough firepower.Except for Yang Yi who can turn the entire half of the court into an attack range, other players such as Gordon can only move within the three-point line. Once beyond this range, their deterrence plummets.

Gordon has a very good shooting rate inside the three-point line, but he is facing Kobe who is almost ten centimeters taller than him. To get an easy shot, he must get rid of the defender and run out of the open space; while the other two Pelicans For each player, Anderson only has three points, and Lopez only attacks at the basket, unable to fully utilize their advantages.

It's funny to say that the Pelicans have been in the league for a season, but they don't have a set of real tactics. Under normal circumstances, they just let the players fight around with Yang Yi as the center, which is the legendary big blind.

But it's because of this that other teams in the league haven't figured out how to deal with the Pelicans.In addition, Yang Yi often changed his skills during the regular season. To be precise, he picked up different skills, which led to many changes in the Pelicans' cooperation, making it difficult for other teams to figure it out.

Strong strength, unpredictable style of play, and a little bit of luck allowed the youth team to achieve the best results in the regular season.

After the Pelicans adopted Aminu as the central support, Yang Yi was completely free.His range of activities is very wide, as far as the middle circle and near the bottom line, all are within his range of activities.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. Anyway, after the system upgrade, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and he doesn't feel tired at all, but Nash, who is defending him, is tired enough.

Although the Lakers play zone defense, he sometimes switches defenses with other teammates.But most of the time, he was by Fatty's side.

His own athletic ability has been greatly degraded, and he was exhausted after running with Yang a few times.Yang Yi, on the other hand, is completely at home in this environment, performing air cuts, wraps, screens, three-pointers, mid-range shots, and three-step layups.

Among the other players of the Pelicans, Gordon is the best performer except Yang Yi.When Yang got the attention of the Lakers, he would always run out of the open and catch Aminu's pass and shoot.

The Pelicans took advantage of the weakness of the Lakers' age to make breakthroughs and maximize their own advantages.But the Lakers are not to be outdone. Although they don't have the speed of the Pelicans stepping on the Hot Wheels, for experienced players, the offensive end is not much worse than the Pelicans with positional warfare and on-the-spot control.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, and the scene looked very hot.One side is as anxious as water, and the other is as heavy as a mountain. You come and I go back and forth, which makes the fans have a good time.

This situation continued until Nash's end-of-court break.

When Nash was on the court, although he was also stalked by Yang Yi, he still got a lot of organizational opportunities through his teammates' off-ball pick-and-rolls.The ball can usually turn decay into magic in his hands, and goals are produced under his guidance.

But after all, he is old, and he can play up to twenty minutes in a game.After reaching halfway through the first quarter, he took a break.

No rest!If he continues to play on the court, he will definitely become a burden for the Lakers.Not to mention being unable to organize the team's offense, the defensive end is completely transparent.

And to be honest, his defensive ability is really bad, never good!

After Nash left the field, Blake, who replaced him on the field, was completely unable to play his second-to-peak passing skills, nor could he connect the other players of the team well.The Lakers gradually fell into the rhythm of going it alone.

But fortunately, Blake is a new force on the court, and he blocked Nash's defensive loopholes very well.Even if he still can't completely defend Yang Yidao, he is much better than Nash.

The first quarter of the game was spent slowly in such a rhythm. The Pelicans couldn't overwhelm the Lakers by a big lead, and the Lakers didn't have too many countermeasures, and they spent most of their time alone.

At the end of the first quarter, the Pelicans led the Lakers by three points 34:31. The two teams looked evenly matched, and no one could open the score!
