NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 726 It's still worth the hammer

"Kobe, what do you mean?" Barkley asked on Kobe's head.

Losing again, Kobe's face was not good, he thought for a while and said: "Our outside shooting percentage is really not high, we have to be closer to the basket. Our inside players can't do a good job of restricting the hammer, they have to work harder. effort."

"Oh!"

The reporters got excited. Kobe was attacking the inside line. Are the Lakers going to fight among themselves?
"Yao, what do you say?" Barkley asked again.

Dayao's complexion was also not good. Kobe's words made him look ugly. He took the microphone in front of Kobe and said while thinking:

"Well, Kobe is right, we all need to work harder, and we have to play strictly according to tactics. We have managed to limit the Hammer's defense of our outside line, and then we need to solve the defense of the Hammer in the paint area. Should be able to do better."

Kobe seemed to realize that something was wrong with what he said just now, so he put his head close to the microphone and said, "I agree with what Yao said, we should be able to do better in the next game."

"Hammer, do you have anything to say?" Barkley asked again.

Li Ba chuckled and said, "I thought I would see the Lakers infighting, but I was disappointed."

"Haha..." Barkley laughed.

"For this series, Hammer, do you have anything to say?" an ESPN reporter asked.

"I'm already thinking about the Western Conference Finals!" Li Ba said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Amidst the exclamation of the reporters, Kobe snorted coldly, got up and left.

Looking at Kobe's back, Li Ba laughed and said, "A team-oriented Kobe can't beat us.

The Lakers can't completely limit me, no one can completely separate me from the game, they can't do it, they can't control the rebound, and they can't launch a more efficient inside offense.

Also, they couldn't handle our perimeter defense.

In the end, we will definitely win this series, and we will definitely enter the Western Conference Finals. "

His tone was supremely confident, as if announcing a fait accompli.

"Crack clap..."

The cameras of the media flickered wildly, recording everything.

"Frank, why did you develop a crazy fast break tactic? How is this different from the Knicks' run and gun?"

A reporter then asked Frank.

Frank laughed: "Fast break tactics, of course, because the overall speed of the Lakers is not fast."

"Sorry, aren't you afraid that your physical fitness will be dragged down?" The reporter interjected and asked.

Frank nodded and said: "After the G1 game, I noticed this problem, so I reduced the number of fast breaks for the Hammers, and at the same time increased the rotation of players. Our substitute players got a lot of playing time. We are doing well now. We are on the road to victory.

As for our fast break tactics, it is indeed somewhat similar to running and bombing.

I have worked with Mike for a long time, I admire his offensive game quality, I have learned a lot.

Of course, I didn't copy his method, I improved some of his tactical ideas, and now, the effect is not bad. "

At this time Li Ba stood up, he was about to leave, and finally said: "Everyone, don't be surprised that we lead the Lakers by a large score, because our strength is stronger than the Lakers."

On the second day, on the 13th, the news that the Suns won the G3 game became the hottest headline.

The G4 game started on the 14th, and the predictions of the outcome of the major media this time finally favored the Suns.

ESPN's official commentary said: "The reason why I am more optimistic about the Suns is that the Lakers have lost their breakthroughs and lost their inside offense. They have become a team that relies entirely on outside shooting, but they have no real pitcher.

Such a team has become completely different.

But the Big Three can't become people like Duncan, and the Lakers don't have a defensive system like the Spurs, so they can't beat the Suns, which has the strongest defender in the league. "

On the 14th, Jordan came to Phoenix and accepted an interview with Phoenix TV.

He said: "I was more optimistic about the Lakers, but the Suns found a suitable tactic, and the physical state of the hammer surprised me. He seemed tireless. I am now more optimistic about the Suns."

"What do you think of the Lakers?" the reporter asked.

"Kobe may have an explosion, who knows? Team basketball is good, but at critical moments, we have to watch the performances of superstars.

I agree with what Hammer said. Kobe is no longer a player at the same level as Hammer. He plays too much as a team. "Jordan laughed.

"So Michael, what do you suggest he do?" the reporter asked.

"The Lakers still have Yao on the inside, which is a sharp offensive weapon, but the Lakers didn't make good use of it. If Kobe can't get enough on the outside, he must go in and team up with Yao to single out the hammer." Jordan said earnestly. .

In the hotel, the Lakers were preparing for a tactical meeting and saw the interview on TV.

Old Bass and Kupchak are both there, the team is not good, and they both have headaches.

This season, the luxury tax alone cost 3000 million U.S. dollars. If the second round is stopped, the actual income alone will be greatly reduced.

"Phil, what he said is somewhat similar to Erwin's," Old Bath said.

Phil Jackson said: "Neither he nor Irving had the experience of facing the Hammers personally, and they couldn't really feel the strength of that defense."

Speaking of this, he looked at Dayao and asked, "Yao, you must have played a training match with the Hammer in the national team. What do you think?"

Dayao smiled wryly and said: "He is the last defender I want to face. His strength makes me a little unsteady and affects my hand feeling. His steals make me lose sight of others. Look at Howard's blocks. We know that with Bogut. In fact, he didn’t block us very much in team training games, saying that he was afraid of hurting our self-confidence.”

Having said that, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "And his rebounding, this is a problem we urgently need to solve now. As for the offensive end, his fast break, sorry, I really can't catch up with him."

Old Buss shook his head in disappointment. He thought that with the Big Three, the Lakers could reproduce the OK era, but now it seems that it is not enough.

"Our third position has been unable to solve, lacking a strong small forward. If we have a LeBron James, we will be able to effectively control the hammer in the fast break. Even if it cannot be controlled, it can also reduce his success rate. Use up his stamina."

Phil Jackson said at this time.

The old Bass wanted to scratch his head, not to mention that he couldn't get the No. [-] pick, even if he got it in the future, the salary line of the Big Four Lakers should not be higher than the sky?
It's still worth the hammer, one person can drive a team without a real superstar.
