Kobe Bryant through time

Chapter 274 Let McGrady Attack
"Focus on the inside." Ling Yu frowned. If the current situation continues like this, the Lakers will definitely lose, and they will lose badly.

O'Neal's inside position is indeed much better than that of Olajuwon. This is an unfair fact. The age of the big dream is there, and the younger O'Neal has the upper hand in confrontation. From a certain point of view, the current Lakers It seems correct for the team to insist on playing O'Neal, and it is the most appropriate way to play. However, you must know that the Rockets have Barkley and Glider in addition to the big dream. If O'Neal alone is used, it is equivalent to the last With the way of playing in the season, he will still lose at that time. This is obviously not the result Ling Yu wants to see, and it is also the result he does not want to accept.

"Aren't you playing inside now?" Del looked at Ling Yu in confusion. Did this kid have a problem with his eyes, or was he obsessed when he was talking about tactics just now? Isn't my strategy mainly focused on O'Neal?
"We are now playing against Shaq, and now they are the most reassuring players, and they are also the most deterrent players to the Rockets inside." Del said his thoughts, but also wanted to take the opportunity to despise Ling Yu, thinking you What good tactics do you have? In the end, it’s not the same, and it’s still the tactics I mentioned. It seems that you don’t have any good tactics. No, it’s better to determine my tactics.

"It's not about Shaq." Ling Yu still stared at the field with a serious face, looked at Del, and said seriously: "The Rockets must have made defensive arrangements for Shaq, according to the current situation. Look, his tactical deployment is very good, and the players are also very obedient to the coach's tactical arrangements." After a while, Ling Yu continued: "The current Rockets seem to have a lot weaker defensive ability in their hearts, but their team Even if Shaq is able to overwhelm their baskets, but they use exhausting tactics, Shaq will not be able to last long. We have seen the game just now. They didn't use Olajuwon to defend at all. Shaq, and they use their backup center just to drain Shaq's energy."

What Ling Yu said was the tactics used by the Rockets last season, a war of attrition against the Lakers' O'Neal, and in that game, the Lakers lost the game.And they lost badly, and now they are playing this trick again, and Del is still copying the original one. Isn't this still the rhythm of courting death?
Thinking about it, Ling Yu couldn't help despising Del: "Dell, you won't forget how you lost to them last season, right?"

Del was taken aback, as if thinking of something, he frowned and looked at Ling Yu, secretly said: This kid really deserves a beating, and he never shows mercy when he speaks.

"Then what do you want? Change Kemp to play? Shaq attracts defense inside?" Del asked Ling Yu with a glare.

Now the inside player who can rely on comes out of O'Neal, that is Kemp. The other players are either too young or obviously not tall enough to carry the banner of offense. Therefore, Ling Yuyi said that he mainly plays the inside line, but the offensive inside line The point can only be Kemp.

However, Del seems to be wrong again. If Kemp is used to play, then Kemp's skills and physical fitness are a level behind Olajuwon. Moreover, the Rockets are likely to use Barkley to play. Defense, when the time comes, Kemp will not only face Barkley's front defense, but also pay attention to Dameng's supplementary defense. For him, a blue-collar player, this is not what he should do, nor what he has to bear.

Ling Yu shook his head: "Kamp can't do it, his age is there, and his footsteps are not as flexible as before. Besides, he has to defend and limit Barkley, which will consume more physical energy. If he is allowed to attack again , he just wanted him to die."

When Del heard that Ling Yu said no, he frowned again, looked at the bench, and his face became more gloomy, if he didn't use Kemp, who would he use?

Del was very helpless. There were no players on the bench who were taller than [-] meters. Pu really has a big problem with his physical fitness, and last night, Del made other tactical arrangements for his physical fitness, and quietly reduced his playing time on the court to ensure that he has enough physical fitness to enter the game. In the playoffs, because he is an indispensable piece in the Lakers, without him, the Lakers' inside defense will be greatly oppressed by the opponent.

However, judging from the current situation, if he is not allowed to play the main role, no one will be able to play.Thinking about it, Del frowned even more.Although the Lakers have won all of the past dozen or so games without exception, the outcome of this game does not seem to be that important. Moreover, if they lose one game, it may allow the players to take the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and it does not matter. As for being immersed in the joy of victory every day, you will develop that kind of slack mentality over time. When you enter the playoffs, you will lose your footing when facing higher-intensity defense, and you will not be able to adjust at all. If you wake up from it after losing a few games, you may not have to play in the playoffs.

"Who do you want to use?" Del asked directly. Since Ling Yu said so, he must have his own ideas, and he seemed to have a better plan, so Del looked at Ling Yu seriously.

"Use McGrady." Ling Yu also frowned. The only thing he can use now is McGrady. Not only that, Ling Yu also thought of other offensive tactics, not only asking McGrady to back up, but also asking O'Neal to pull out half of the high position. , that is, the kind that wants to come out, hovering in the middle of the free throw line and the baseline. Guard the bottom of the basket and prevent O'Neal from entering. In this way, McGrady will have the opportunity to go directly to the bottom of the basket, directly causing damage, and scoring points for the Lakers.

However, this is only one aspect. Ling Yu also thought of other places, that is, the outside line. Ling Yu hopes that when Eddie is on the court, he will partner with McGrady instead of O'Neal, because of what happened last season. At that time, Eddie would hand the ball to O'Neal, and he would watch from there. This style of play is not what Eddie played in the past ten games, but now, only the ability to open up McGrady, ah, and Eddie's offense , the Lakers will get the first chance to turn passive into active.

It's just that Ling Yu's proposal for Del is incomprehensible. McGrady is just an outside player. Isn't it a fantasy to let him play inside?You must know that the Rockets have Olajuwon and Barkley under the basket. McGrady will definitely be blocked by him if he hits in like this. Not as good as the current tactics.

Dell said disapprovingly: "McGrady is just an outside player. His current style of play is catch-and-shoot, which is similar to Fisher's role, but he is more accurate than Fisher."

"It's absurd for you to let such an outside player take the ball to attack." Del stared at Ling Yu with a little anger.

I have no objection to what you said about focusing on the inside, and I have no objection to Kemp not being able to focus on the offense. However, it seems too much to allow McGrady to attack. It is too simple to think about the game, and it is not feasible at all.

Ling Yu slowed down, and a few black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead: "It is true that McGrady is an outside player, but he has bottom-line singles ability, and now the team has O'Neal, me, and Eddie, So McGrady is the one who catches the ball from the outside. In fact, his offensive ability is very strong. In addition to shooting, he can also break through the offense. It’s just not shown. I think you also saw his ability, so you know it without me saying more.”

Del's brows never stretched out. What Ling Yu said is indeed correct, and he also knows that McGrady's abilities are indeed very comprehensive. However, he is just a rookie now, and he has not yet fully familiarized with the Lakers' tactical arrangements. One point is his mentality. From the past many games, it is difficult to see his leadership qualities. It seems that there is no such thing. This is why Del dare not use McGrady more. He is worried that one day McGrady will lose the chain. , If you still need it in ordinary times, but if you lose the chain at a critical moment, it will be equal to losing.

"His ability is good, but he also has his own shortcomings. I won't tell you the specifics, and you know it yourself." Del also said vaguely. At this time, he doesn't need to say more.

"You're talking about his charisma, right?" Ling Yu could guess what Del was thinking, because in the past ten or so games, Del's use of McGrady had a time limit, obviously it was not enough for McGrady Don't worry, it's also a distrust of McGrady.

Del didn't deny it, and looked at Ling Yu: "Are there any other options besides him?"

Del obviously didn't want to adopt Ling Yu's proposal, but he didn't want to say it directly. In this case, maybe if he asked Ling Yu again, the kid would stop talking.

"No." Ling Yu didn't even think about it, and said directly: "McGrady is the best candidate, and he is the only one who can complete this task. Other players are either not tall, or their skills are not very good. technology."

Ling Yu emphasized that it was a low-level skill, because he could clearly feel that someone was looking at him, and he obviously had a problem with his words, so Ling Yu hurriedly explained, so that he would not be able to wash himself off even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Clear embarrassment.

"Are you sure which ability he really has?" Del doesn't believe that McGrady has the ability to cut through the waves. At least from the performance of the past few games, McGrady's ability has not been fully demonstrated.
