Chapter 454 [Adjustment, is this to die? 】

The Nuggets attacked. Anthony caught the ball on the right and made three threats. He changed his direction to break through to the basket, attracting Yao Ming to fill the defense and score the ball to Camby, who was cutting in the middle. Camby shot with one hand and was blocked from behind by Rasheed. .

As long as the Lakers players have finished running in, excluding Damon Jones, and the other four defenders are also very strong, Rasheed's ability to sneak attacks from behind has already been perfected.

The four gathered near the penalty area. In the chaos, Anthony picked up the offensive rebound and immediately made a one-handed throw. Unfortunately, Yao Ming blocked the ball again and swept the ball out of the penalty area.

Yao Ming didn't play much time in the Knicks, and all the teams didn't know him well enough. Usually, he must be able to avoid the shot blocking method, but he may not be able to avoid Yao Ming. There will be no good fruit to deal with him.

Jones picked up the ball and made a fast break, Kobe and Iguodala rushed in front.

Anthony was slow to return to defense, and Hilario made up for Iguodala, who made an emergency stop to separate the ball out of the perimeter.Rasheed followed up on the right and scored an empty three-pointer. 13 to 7.

When returning to defense, Rasheed put his index finger to his mouth and made a "shush" action, and now "Roaring Tianzun" stopped roaring.

The Nuggets attacked. Hamilton ran the ball outside the three-point line and immediately shot, but under the interference of Iguodala, the rebound was obtained by Yao Ming.

In the Lakers positional battle, Jones dribbled through the half court, Kobe and Yao Ming had no ball cover in the middle, ran to the right to catch the ball, turned around and faced the frame slightly. Seeing that Camby was standing far away, he suddenly made a three-pointer.

Hamilton's pursuit and defense was a little slower, and he didn't cover it, and the shot opportunity came out, but Kobe's shot was too flat and the bullet came out.

At this time, Iguodala on the bottom line cut in time and grabbed the offensive rebound.He feinted with both hands in the penalty area, attracting the Nuggets to retreat from the inside and assigning the ball to Yao Ming in the middle.

Yao Ming took the ball from the free throw line and faltered, attracting Hilario from the side to make up for defense, and scored the ball to the right 70 degrees. 16 to 7.

In the Blazers, Rashid has always been the focus of opponents to guard against.When he arrived at the Lakers, he became the target of being emptied. He would not miss this opportunity.

Nuggets coach Jeff Buzdrick was forced to request a timeout, and the Nuggets were obviously unable to defend.

Smith sighed: "As soon as Jerry joined the Lakers, this team has become a super offensive team again, and their offense and defense transition is very fast in the beginning."

Barkley said with a smile: "The Lakers' offense is not easy to defend. The key is that the two insiders have both the ability to evacuate and attack the basket. Rashid has a longer range and better defense than Odom, so today Odom is Substitute. Yao Ming's height advantage is too great, if he catches the ball in the penalty area, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to defend him."

Smith said: "Jerry is really a rookie star. Iguodala will start as soon as he joins the Lakers. After training for a few years, maybe he can also become a star."

Barkley gloated and said: "I believe everyone wants to know how the Knicks management team will look in two months. They will still think that Yao Ming is not good. Did the deal with the Lakers make a profit?"

After the suspension, neither side made any substitutions, and Buzdrick adjusted his tactics to zone defense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, after Buzdrick was fired by the Nuggets, he never worked as a head coach. He worked as an assistant in the Grizzlies for many years. Some people called him one of the most outstanding defensive assistants.

This is obviously an exaggeration. If he is so outstanding, how could he have been a teaching assistant and faded out of the media's attention for more than ten years.For now, at least, his defense is terrible, and he's going to the Grizzlies and Hollins for late promotion.

Yang Rui scoffed at the adjustment of the Nuggets, which was purely an adjustment error.The Lakers have Kobe Bryant, a strongman in singles, and Jones, the "best shooter in the universe". Rasheed and Andre Iguodala can also shoot three-pointers. Is playing zone defense a death sentence?

Sure enough, Bryant caught the ball on Miller's side and scored two consecutive mid-range shots in singles. He also attracted double-teamed points to the left bottom corner and assisted Jones to hit a three-pointer.

Although three of the Nuggets can score on the outside and grab the score, the difference in strength between the two teams is still obvious, mainly because of the gap on the inside.The Lakers can shrink and double-team the Nuggets to break through, but they can only shoot from the mid-to-long range to find opportunities.Once the feel drops, it will be bad.

The Nuggets did not dare to shrink too much in defense. The Lakers pulled out two big men, creating a lot of offensive space for Kobe, and he could play singles calmly.

单节湖人38比30领先，科比打满12分钟，砍下19分1篮板4助攻，11投7中，三分球2中1，罚球4中4。

Yao Ming played 8 minutes and was replaced by Odom. He made 5 of 4 shots and scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.Encouraged by Yang Rui before the game, Yao Ming took few shots and was very active in rebounding.

Only Iguodala didn't score in the Lakers' starting lineup, and Odom, who came off the bench, scored two points.

Anthony and Kobe Bryant scored 14 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and Hamilton also scored 9 points, which was not destroyed.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Mo Williams, Ariza, Walton, Dior and Lamar Odom.

If you use the veteran Hoiberg, who is experienced and accurate, it will be more able to open up the space.However, he has no potential. Yang Rui is more inclined to train young Ariza and Walton, even if the offense is weaker on the bench.

The Nuggets sent Boykins, Vossan Leonard, DeMar Johnson, Rodney White, and Francisco Elson.

The Nuggets' starting lineup is the same as last season. The strength of the bench has become weaker. The offense relies on two guards, and the other three are blue-collar workers.

The Lakers only have Ariza as a blue-collar player, and the other four, including Walton, are good at moving the ball.

Ariza began to develop in the 3D direction, going down quickly when counterattacking, waiting for opportunities outside the three-point line in positional battles.Yang Rui needs him to quickly return to defense and stare at the opponent's arrow characters, so let him train 70-degree three-pointers on both sides, not the bottom corner.

Mo Williams played the pick-and-roll with Lamar Odom first. He could go up by himself, but he couldn't pass the opponent's inside line. He would pass the ball to the middle and move to the right bottom corner and wait for a chance. Can play off-ball screens with Diaw.

Odom can choose Mo Williams to pass the ball, or it can be given to Diaw. The latter has no chance to perform secondary organization, and the position of Odom and Odom can be changed at any time.

The Nuggets have the defensive weakness of Boykins, and they were beaten 9 to 2, and the point difference continued to widen.

4 minutes later, the Nuggets replaced the two main players. 6 minutes later, Yang Rui was replaced by Rasheed and Kobe, and replaced Walton and Ariza.

Diao is at the small forward position, he can still cut and pass the ball, and the two defending Anthony are similar in size.

Smith said with a smile: "Kobe is back, the Nuggets defense will be tested, the first task is to defend against Kobe, one-on-one they are not good enough."

Barkley said: "Yao Ming didn't play, I think the Lakers will definitely let Kobe make more shots."

In this section, Yao's name was not played, and Yang Rui reused Yao's name, which needs to be done step by step.

Against a team that mainly attacks inside, Yao Ming can play a big role in defending the penalty area.After being blocked twice in the first quarter, the Nuggets mainly attacked from the outside, and pulled out the inside to cover, allowing the guard to dislocate and attack Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was very depressed whether he faced Miller or Hamilton, both of whom were famous iron men in the league.Instead of exposing Yao Ming's weakness, it's better to let the Lakers' highly mobile inside play more, defend better, and open up space on offense.

科比这节表现一般，只得6分1篮板，半场砍下25分2篮板4助攻。
