NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 728 It's Really Rough

Both sides of the game are in place.

Because it was a life-and-death battle, the Lakers completely released the suppressed emotions of the past few days at this moment, and when Li Shengli successfully jumped the ball, the game officially started.

First, Nick's advance was neither fast nor fast, so the Celtics' defensive formation was fine, and Nick passed to Kobe at the top of the arc, and he ran to the left corner to stand still.

"Li, here I come!"

"Fox, go, Kobe, fight!"

This time Fox went out to help Kobe block Barros, allowing Kobe to break through from the right.

It's just that the Celtics' defense is characterized by tight inside and loose outside. Compared with O'Neal in the penalty area and Garnett in the top defense, it is obviously easier to play on the outside, and Kobe's choice is indeed like this.

After the breakthrough, he made an emergency stop and was about to make a shot. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw that Pierce's position had a chance to block the shot. Immediately, the ball was passed from behind to Fox, who reversed to the other side after the block, and Fox made the shot.

Whoosh!

The ball was a bit off-center and bounced out of the frame, and the Celtics were close to the defensive rebounds, so they must have a greater advantage than the Lakers, but the problem is that Li Shengli rushed to the basket one step earlier, and the direction of the rebounds was just right. , so the air interception directly completed a supplementary deduction.

……

"This... Li seems to be in a good state today?" Mourning glanced at it and said worriedly.

"Of course, he is famous for his stability!" Malone and Stockton glanced at each other, because he was very familiar with Li Shengli's style, and Malone continued: "It is really impossible for ordinary people to make up dunks in front of Shaq. , because Shaq's flexibility in a small range is abnormal, but this flexibility is relative, and Lee's small-scale movement should overwhelm him."

"Then why didn't Lee play the main offense? You can see it in the first three games. The Lakers can only choose more stable scoring points. Kobe is still younger, and Barkley is older. They don't choose Lee... It is estimated that after this game Harris will be scolded again." Mourning shook his head.

"This..." Ma Long glanced at the people around him and said, "Brother, you don't understand if you don't become teammates with Li once, but the few of us know it very well, because we all played against him more or less. This rough but very practical tactic is not even considered a tactic, the only idea is to shoot from the outside and play from the inside!"

"Outside shot, inside panel? Damn, then this is really rough!" Mourning's face was a little embarrassed, thinking that this stepping on the horse is just a few random shots, and at this stage...in the league game, The teams use this kind of tactics to chase points and fight to the death in the second half, but now they come up and fight?

"You're right!" Ma Long knew what Mourning was thinking. After all, everyone understood, and he said again: "It's an old problem, but it's still about feeling. When we played in the Jazz, it was basically me and Lee's split time, I'm not there, Lee is there, that's a specific time that our old man Jerry Sloan has prepared for him, and he's never let our old man down."

"That's right, it's basically four long-distance pitchers. Three-pointers are the best!" Stockton nodded, indicating that what Malone said was correct, and he continued: "Although under normal circumstances, you don't start to shoot. This kind of tactics, it's too much of a gamble, but the Lakers obviously made some changes based on their lineup."

Stockton continued to speak his opinion...

Kobe is too young, three-pointers are really bad, he can only hit 2 of two three-pointers per game, less than 0.5%, but he is very stable and threatening enough to break into the area parallel to the free throw line through the pick-and-roll. More importantly... Fox, who gave Kobe a pick-and-roll, didn't go inside to support him, but retreated to near the three-point line, and, together with Nick in the left corner, waited for the result of Kobe's offensive attempt.

The offense has come to this point, and the opportunities found through the pick-and-roll can allow Kobe to make steady shots, even if the shots are not good, but the moment the Celtics miss the defense...Fox, who retreats, has a chance, and if he marks the Knicks Miner moved his position, so can Nick, and both he and Fox are capable of three-pointers. The former averages 5 three-pointers per game and hits 39% of his shots. The latter averages three three-pointers per game and hits 3% of his shots. .

This opening style of play can be regarded as a variant of the triangle offense, whether it is Kobe at the top of the arc or Fox and Nick at the far end.

It's just different from the original Bulls... The Lakers have a top insider that the Bulls did not have.

Even the core of this tactic is inside.

Because the rebound guarantee of crazy shooting is too important, and the Lakers have a natural advantage in this regard. Almost the top rebounders in the league are all in the Lakers. Offense has become the last confidence of the Lakers.

The first attack is to play outside, fight for a mobile phone opportunity, and fight for rebounds inside to play a second offense. In theory, playing two offenses is definitely more efficient than one. The most difficult thing is how to ensure the stability of rebounds.

Of course, there are always accidents, and it is not ruled out that everyone will experience a slump again, but the real wave shooting tactic needs a position with forced singles, to guarantee the efficiency, and to win three games in a row... Li Shengli, yes!

The cheerleaders that O'Neal 'hired' were chatting at the meeting, and it's no surprise that the Lakers on the field did play like this, and even played to good effect.

Bryant's around the screen is very particular about.

Because the shot is on the inside, what he needs to worry about is Garnett's supplementary defense, and the vertical line of the court divides the offensive area into two halves. He will always be on the other side of Garnett, but... there is no weak team in the finals. After his steady scoring ability in the opening game, the Celtics defense became more targeted.

The reason is very simple!

In view of Kobe's stability, transfer this stability to the unstable three-pointers of Fox and Knicks. As long as you play a few more rounds, choose the most efficient full-strength defense, and the rest can be defended. This is completely possible.

So after Kobe was targeted, neither Fox nor Nick showed a good mid-range or even three-point touch, while Harris could only switch up to test the waters and shrink the offensive circle. As for Li Shengli... the more he played, the more he felt. The danger is approaching step by step, because the Lakers, who were almost finished in the first quarter, fell behind by 3 points. It seems that there are not many, but the problem is that the signal released is not good.

The last round before the end was Celtic's.

Garnett has a height difference when playing against Barkley, but he is still very stable. He beckons someone to give him a pick-and-roll jumper around the screen, bullying a group of relatively short people on the outside. Arrived at 5 points.

5 points in the first quarter is really a lot!

O'Neill was so happy, he pouted at Li Shengli, and on the other side... Garnett didn't know what he said to Barkley, Barkley raised his hand and pushed Garnett away, shocking everyone , Fortunately, the two sides opened up early, just planted some explosives, and then returned to the bench.
