I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 186 The Lakers throw the pot, OK pick and roll! (big chapter)

"I don't know what the problem is.

All I know is that every time I go to practice at the Bradley Center, there are a few Bucks already practicing there.

He Li, Ray Allen, and a guy named Michael Reid, I try to get to the arena earlier than them.

Unfortunately, I will never be the first.But I know, there's a guy on our team who's always going to be last. "

The Lakers were a guest in Milwaukee and suffered a two-game losing streak in the finals, and both games were one-sided, with no possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Faced with the possibility of being easily swept by the Bucks, the Lakers, who just won two consecutive championships, had to find reasons from within.

After all, no matter how good the Lakers are, they are also a team that is expected to establish a dynasty. If it weren't for the serious problems in the Lakers team, they wouldn't be beaten like this by the Bucks, a team that didn't even make it to the finals last season.

Indeed, the Lakers have serious problems.

The Lakers actually understand the problem, but at this time it is difficult for someone to be a smart person and solve the core problem.

Therefore, the post-match summary turned into a dumping conference.

Kobe, who was not yet mature enough, immediately pointed the finger at O'Neill, who had been looking displeased.

Everyone is training so hard and working hard for the finals, but O'Neal, a fat man, often looks for opportunities to shoot, and even arrives late for training before the finals.

Is such a player qualified to be the boss of the team?
If you can't take on the responsibility of leading the team to win, then let me do it!
Bryant's idea is so simple, so innocent.

O'Neill heard Kobe beat around the bush. Although he didn't mention his name, he was short of declaring his ID card.

O'Neill is not an idiot, and he immediately understood that Kobe was Xiang Zhuang's sword dance and aimed at Pei Gong, and he wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble!

"No, I have to act first." O'Neill was very flustered and had no choice but to make a bad move.

"Hey, I said Kobe, can you be realistic and not be unreasonable?

Everyone knows that I am injured.

And I have to face more than two double teams every game, and I am so big.

If I don't get enough rest time, we will lose enough intimidation in the low post! "

"Also, Kobe, you have to understand that we are a team and you can't play this selfishly anymore.

Sometimes you should pass the ball, you know?

Many opportunities are wasted by you, don't you understand? "

On the one hand, O'Neal emphasized his injury and his contribution to the team. On the other hand, he accused Kobe of watching people and not passing the ball.

Kobe was very angry when he heard what O'Neal said, but he couldn't think of rebuttal words in a short time.

After all, O'Neill was right.

He wanted to help the team shoulder the responsibility of winning, but in today's game, it was indeed Kobe who failed to help the Lakers turn defeat into victory, and ended up losing more and more miserably.

Seeing that Kobe had nothing to say, O'Neal pursued the victory and said: "You are no longer young, this is already your sixth season!
You should be mature enough not to continue to behave mischievously and let the whole team pay for your waywardness.

We are not enemies, we are teammates, don't spend all your time on me. "

When O'Neal said this, other Lakers players also focused their attention on Kobe.

A team has limited possession of the ball, and O'Neal is the boss of the Lakers. It is normal for the Lakers to have a large number of possessions.

But in the past two years, Kobe gradually wanted to replace O'Neal's status and role. O'Neal refused to give up an inch, and his status remained, but Kobe's status gradually rose.

During this time, it was the other Lakers players who were being victimized.

The other players also understood that Kobe was indeed better than them, and they could hand the ball to Kobe the same way they handed it to O'Neal.

But O'Neal shot 6% and Kobe Bryant 4%. Kobe seized their possession, shot at a similar rate to theirs, and then lost the game. This is very uncomfortable.

It's also a loss, so why can't they let them take more shots and swipe their stats?

The data was not updated, and the game was not won. Now to find the reason, it is natural to find Kobe.

Of course, what they are most upset about Kobe is that they are in and out.

Many times they ran out of opportunities and had a good shot space, but Kobe reached out but didn't pass the ball.

They want to play by themselves, but Kobe wants the ball, and the team management and coaching staff want them to give the ball to Kobe, so what else can they do?
It's not that they have no idea about the management and coaching staff, but after all, they have to eat, so they dare not speak out.

But for Kobe, everyone is a player, so why can't we vent our temper?
Especially after O'Neal opened his mouth, he can still try to do things like beating a dog in the water.

For a while, the Lakers' dumping conference became more interesting.

The Zen master and the logo man were both there, watching everyone's enthusiasm, and they didn't stop it immediately in order to protect Kobe.

Zen Master and the logo man are experienced people. They know that losing is very difficult for the team. Especially in the finals, the pressure is very high, and the emotions are more likely to become extreme after losing.

At this time, there is an outlet for emotional venting to help everyone discharge negative energy emotions at once. This is also a good tool at the right time.

The bullets flew for a while. On the surface, Kobe had already been sprayed with suspicion by his teammates.

Fortunately, Kobe himself is paranoid and egomaniac. His teammates said that although he would get angry, he would quickly adapt and treat his chattering teammates like flies flying all over the sky.

The Zen master and the logo man also knew that Kobe was not a glass-hearted person, so they indulged everyone to do so.

When everyone was talking about the same thing, the Zen master patted the table and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Okay, enough is said, I don't want any voice to spread to the outside world about what happened here today, and be heard by people outside the venue.

I also don't want everyone to dwell on the past again and again. Now that it's over, let it pass!
There are two home games next, and we must use all conditions to turn defeat into victory. "

As soon as the Zen master finished controlling the field, the logo man also said: "Now that everyone's emotions have stabilized, let's continue the previous topic. Where is our problem? What adjustments do we need to make?"

"Okay, we are a team that has won two consecutive championships. We are united enough and there is no difficulty that can defeat us! Don't you think so?"

After the logo man finished speaking, he went out, and after a while, he walked in with Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

"Is there any result? I moved two rescuers back to serve as staff for everyone." The logo man said.

It is normal for Abdul-Jabbar to come to the Bradley Center to watch the game, but as one of the famous Lakers, it is also very reasonable to give advice to the Lakers who have suffered successive defeats.

As for the magician, he has been working for the Lakers after retiring, and it is also timely to appear now.

"With some suggestions for reference, Turks thinks we can play pick-and-roll, play OK pick-and-roll, what do you two think?"

The Zen master answered the logo man in this way, and turned to the magician and Kareem for advice.

The pick-and-roll is the most basic, unpretentious, and most effective tactic in the NBA, not one of them.

Speaking of pick-and-rolls, it is easy to think of Utah Shuangsha, superstars and superstars cooperating with pick-and-rolls, it is so incomprehensible.

But in fact, before the Utah Shuangsha played the pick-and-roll, Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played the pick-and-roll to perfection.

The mutual achievements of the magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are not just 1+1 of personal strength.

The pick-and-roll, the fast-break long pass, and even the Lakers' show time are derived from the continued cooperation of the two people, Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

To a certain extent, Utah Shuangsha is just a civilian version of Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

As for why it is easier to mention the pick-and-roll Utah Shuangsha?
That's because Magic and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar don't rely on pick-and-roll tactics, and they are super giants themselves.

With the help of coach Sloan, Utah Shuangsha gradually became a superstar.

This is the difference between not having a championship in life and winning five championships together.

Therefore, Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are very authoritative and knowledgeable in the field of pick-and-rolls.

The two can also rely on their high enough prestige and status to persuade O'Neal and Kobe to reconcile, and use the superstar pick-and-roll to achieve each other and help the Lakers reverse the game.

In fact, after the Lakers lost the first game, Tex Winter, the founder of the triangle offense, took the initiative to propose to Zen Master to let O'Neal and Kobe play pick-and-rolls.

Through video research, when the Bucks execute pick-and-roll tactics, the hit rate will be very high.

The Lakers rely on the triangle offense alone, and although their shooting percentage is good, they are still not as good as the Bucks.

Not to mention that the Bucks still have the league's best three-pointer, plus He Li, who is unique in the league's perimeter defense ability.

With no one in the Bucks able to defend against He Li alone, the rest of the Bucks can still use pick-and-roll tactics, which is unsolvable.

Generally speaking, if double-teaming starts from outside the three-point line, the team's space will be stretched a lot, and the other four players will have a lot of offensive opportunities.

At this time, there are still two players who can perform pick-and-roll tactics, and He Li has a pretty good passing ability!

There is really no way, and there is really no need to guard against it.

Because He Li, while holding the ball to attract double-teams, can instantly pass the ball to his teammates who will execute pick-and-roll tactics in the next second.

But O'Neal couldn't get out of the basket to defend the pick-and-roll. In other words, at this time, the Lakers only had two players who could defend the Bucks' pick-and-roll players.

In this case, even if the defense is changed in time, it is impossible to stop all shots.

Not to mention, even if the Bucks don't count the inside players under the basket, they still have a player who runs without the ball!
He Li, a pick-and-roll duo, a master off the ball, plus a blue-collar center who can block and grab rebounds, is an unsolvable lineup.

As long as He Li feels normal and the threat of outside shooting always exists, no team can guard against such a Bucks.

So if you want to defeat such a Bucks, you must win through offense.

The offensive ability of the original OK combination has been the best in the league, but the Bucks can't stand the higher offensive efficiency.

Besides, the Bucks can score with four or even five players. If the Lakers only rely on the OK combination to play two-person games, it is inevitable that there will be times when they are stretched.

At this time, if you want to further liberate the Lakers' offensive ability, you can only play pick-and-roll.

As the head coach who won 8 championship rings by relying on the triangle offense, Zen Master was a little arrogant and arrogant at first, thinking that the Lakers didn't need to try pick-and-roll tactics at all.

But after losing the game today, Zen Master also began to consider Tex Winter's proposal.

"I'm just the executor of the triangle offense. Turks, as the inventor of the triangle offense, proposed to me to play a pick-and-roll in order to win the finals. So what should I be reserved about?"

After Zen Master corrected his thoughts and concepts, he already had an idea to let the OK combination play the pick-and-roll.

Indeed, pick-and-rolls can effectively improve offensive efficiency, and pick-and-rolls between superstars are even more difficult to defend.

However, the problem for the Lakers is the battle between O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.

The basis of the pick-and-roll is to cooperate with players to be able to trust and support each other.

Is O'Neal willing to cover for Kobe?

O'Neal disassembles and runs down, is Kobe willing to pass the ball?
Will the forced execution of pick-and-roll tactics further increase the conflict between the two?
If these three problems are not resolved, then it is better not to play pick-and-rolls!At least the Lakers will not die directly from civil strife, but simply lack of strength.

Sometimes it is more acceptable to realize that the game was lost because of bad food.

Zen master can imagine that some Lakers fans will inevitably go berserk after being swept by the Bucks this year, and the outside media will study and discuss who is the culprit for the Lakers' failure to establish a dynasty after the fact.

Even a Zen master has to think carefully about these things.

One person's wisdom is short, but everyone's wisdom is long.

The Zen master quickly contacted the logo man, and the logo man's auctioneer decided that a dead horse should be treated as a living horse doctor, and he still has to try the OK pick and roll to see if he can save the current Lakers.

This is also a logo man. Most people really don't have the courage to fight with their backs.

However, at the juncture of the Lakers' establishment of a dynasty, knowing that the status quo is losing to the Bucks, it is indeed impossible to do nothing and watch the Lakers' newly built high-rises fall.

The Lakers need new changes as well as historical experience.

Therefore, the logo man contacted the magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. In fact, the current scene has been discussed and pre-judged by several big shots.

This time, he deliberately set up a game, using the players as pawns to set up the game.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: "I think it works, you can try it."

"Then let's get started!

I can't wait to witness the moment when you hoist your third championship trophy!

Go ahead, do the things we didn't do, and make your career no regrets. "

The magician hopes to use his spiritual energy to infect this group of players who are in a state of confusion.

What the logo man said was relatively simple: "I think it's okay."

Kobe had already been scolded miserably. Although he survived, seeing the man with the logo who had been helping him open his mouth, he naturally wouldn't refuse, and quickly said, "I'm fine."

O'Neill is a smart person, and after seeing what everyone said, he naturally had to follow the trend and accept this matter, but he still took the opportunity to fight for it.

"I will definitely cooperate, and I will never be lazy during training.

But I hope someone doesn't take it too far!
My tolerance is limited, and I don't want to make sacrifices on my own. "

The logo man and the others just smiled when they heard what O'Neill said. It wasn't the first day they knew O'Neill. O'Neill is famous for being small-minded.

Why does O'Neill add "big" to his own nickname?Because the more you lack something, the more you show off.

However, there are exceptions. When O'Neill finds a girlfriend, he will find a younger one.
