I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 206 206. Perform better than "OK combination"!
Charles Barkley said: "The Vulture led the team to the finals in his rookie season, and his personal performance was very strong. He scored against Kobe at the beginning. In terms of momentum, he did not lose to the "OK combination" at all. .”

Kenny Smith said: "The Vulture always roars habitually after scoring a goal, as if trying to motivate himself in this way and try to improve the overall morale of the team. This approach is indeed very effective. Now even Jackson and Wallace always yelled at the crowd after the two scored goals."

Charles Barkley said with a smile: "Vulture once said in an interview that roaring can make his adrenaline soar and become more and more excited in the next round. This has become his signature celebration. After all Other players don't scream as wildly as he does."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "Vulture is a very interesting young man. Whether on or off the court, he always makes himself the protagonist. No wonder so many young fans like to watch him play."

The Lakers attack, and the "glove" Payton, who did not average double figures in the playoffs, did not completely lose his offensive ability. He just habitually handed over the best offensive options to Kobe and O'Neal, and then ensured that every time he passed There were no turnovers on the ball.

Faced with Nash's defense that put him one step away, Payton did not shoot from the spot. Instead, he took the ball to the free throw line and lobbed the ball to the "big shark" O'Neal at the basket.

Rebrascia's physique is very strong, but if compared with O'Neill, Rebrascia is still significantly thinner.

After receiving the ball, O'Neill squeezed Rebrascia's defense and turned to hook in a very deep position. This kind of ball was not difficult for O'Neill. The hook was wiped and the score was easily scored, 6:9.

Once O'Neal is allowed to receive the pass at a deep position under the basket, no one in the entire league can limit O'Neal's scoring in one-on-one. Unless extremely bad physical fouls are used, it can only be done before O'Neal receives the pass. Just find a way to push him away from the basket.

"Zen Master" Jackson knows that the Lakers have the killer weapon of "Shark" O'Neal, so he also arranged a lot of low-post tactics today, allowing O'Neal to shoot casually in the penalty area, targeting the Eagles' shortcomings of not having an outstanding center.

As long as the tactics are proper, even blue-collar centers can become the main offensive point, not to mention "Shark" O'Neal, the league's number one center.

The Eagles attack. Although O'Neal is unrivaled on the offensive end, he is still somewhat uncomfortable on defense. The main reason is that he is already fat and not suitable for pulling out to defend pick-and-rolls. He also cannot keep up with the too fast pace of the game. Being named and targeted by Suter, O'Neal who left the penalty area is really a defensive loophole.

Unlike Kobe, who has a stronger personality, O'Neal's physical strength does not allow him to run around on both ends of the offense and defense throughout the game. When O'Neal puts more energy on the offensive end, his defense will inevitably relax.

This is why fans often see O'Neal would rather the opponent shoot than save.It's not that O'Neal doesn't have this reaction speed, but that O'Neal is distributing his energy reasonably and being lazy on the defensive end.

Suter slid from the right to the left baseline to catch the ball. O'Neal still couldn't defend it, so he had to let Kobe chase from behind. Suter didn't make any fake moves after catching the ball from the left baseline, and just relied on his speed to go to the right. Forcibly change direction.

At the same time, Stephen Jackson on the left at 45 degrees got rid of Devin George and ran to the center under the cover of Rebrascia without the ball. Suter had quick eyes and quick hands, and passed the ball at the first time. Jackson caught the ball at the free throw line The position of the first half step made an emergency stop jump shot. 8:9.

Suter used his own power to assist his teammates to score again. O'Neal's defense was still a step behind, and he only threw out a slight interference.

Mike Woodson is well aware of the shortcomings of not having a good center, but he would never propose to the management to sign a center with good offensive ability to join the team.

He has always looked down on Eddie Curry, a bulky man who only knows how to dunk and hook under the basket. Even against the Los Angeles Lakers with O'Neal, he doesn't have much envy in his eyes.

What Woodson advocates is the transition of offense and defense that maximizes mobility. Players like Suter happen to be the perfect template in his heart. If it wasn’t for Rasheed Wallace, he really couldn’t stand up to “Shark” O’Neal. Devastated, Woodson will never use a bulky floor center like Rebrascia.

Offense isn't necessarily the best defense, but a mobile defense can translate directly into offense.

The Lakers attacked, and Nash gave Payton another step away. This time, Payton seemed to feel insulted. He stood outside the three-point line and chose a direct jumper for a three-pointer. As a result, he missed the basket without interference. Basket, Suter struggled to protect the backcourt rebound.

The Lakers fans at the scene were very speechless when they saw this scene. They didn't know why the Lakers had to sign the old "glove" Payton during the offseason.

Although Payton's defensive ability is excellent, but on the offensive end, he can't even make an open three-pointer. Lakers fans now hope that their point guard is a Steve Kerr style player, at least in the "OK combination". When double-teaming, the shooter can stand on the outside to share the offensive pressure, and at the same time, it can expand the space on the court.

This season, Karl Malone joined the Lakers with a basic salary of only 150 million U.S. dollars. This signing is a huge profit from any point of view, but "Glove" Payton's annual salary this season is as high as 500 million, second only to O'Neal and Kobe both ranked third on the team.

With the team's third highest salary but only this kind of performance, Lakers fans are naturally dissatisfied with Payton, and at the same time worried about the management's IQ.

Payton's physical fitness was good when he was young. He could break through dunks with the ball and play singles with his back. But now his offensive ability has basically degraded, and even Nash has no difficulty defending him.

The Eagles attacked, Rasheed Wallace organized in a high position, and passed the ball to Suter who was running without the ball. Suter held the ball on the weak side and played a pick-and-roll with Rebrascia, and moved the ball laterally to attract Karl on the side -Malone helps defend, but turns the ball over to Rasheed Wallace.

Kobe was so focused on defense that even Suter was fooled by his fake moves. Just now when defending Kobe this time, he pretended to chase from behind. As a result, at the moment Suter broke through the ball, this guy suddenly changed his direction to block the ball. After breaking the passing line, his explosive power was very strong, and he appeared on Suter's passing line in an instant, stabbing the ball into Karl Malone's hands.

Suter felt that he had learned a trick from Kobe again, and he could try this routine when he had the opportunity. Anyway, his explosive power is only stronger than Kobe, not weaker than Kobe. Appropriate defensive fake moves plus "lightning sticky hands", Will definitely be able to contribute more steals on the court.

Karl Malone passed the ball to Kobe to launch a fast break forward, but Kobe was tightly entangled by Suter just after passing the midfield, unable to rush at all, and could only be forced to pass the ball to "Glove" Payton.

Payton took the ball and quickly chose to single out Nash. He changed direction and made a breakthrough while not completely getting rid of the defense.

Not long after the opening game, Suter has already grabbed a lot of rebounds. If he continues to play at this pace, Suter will definitely not have too few rebounds today.

When he shrinks to the penalty area, both Rasheed Wallace and Rebrasia will help him block people. As long as the rebound does not fall right into O'Neal's hands, he can maximize his jumping advantage, even if Kobe Can't beat him either.

The Eagles attacked, and Suter failed to run out of the open space smoothly. Nash held the ball and played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Karl Malone to help defend and then passed the ball to Wallace. Sharks" O'Neal's ruthless blocking.

The standing center is really good at protecting the penalty area. O'Neal has a huge body, and he can interfere with the opponent's shooting even if he stands in the penalty area. Cut layup, just hit a volleyball cap.

Wallace picked up the dropped basketball by himself. Instead of continuing to challenge the Sharks, he immediately passed the ball to the perimeter to find his teammates. As a result, he made another mistake in the panic and was intercepted by Devin George on the wing. .

His passing was too impatient, without any concealment, and his slow speed was easy to see through.

George steals the ball and goes on a fast break, forming a three-on-two in the frontcourt. Devin-George passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe passed the ball to Payton on the left. Nash saw that Payton rushed up and directly ruthless A ruthless pulling foul prevented Payton from taking off.

Even if Payton made a free throw, it would not allow him to dunk in a fast-break counterattack. Although there is not much difference in the result, it is far different in terms of morale.

Payton's free throw percentage in this year's playoffs was 76.4%. Payton made two free throws from the free throw line and finally scored. 8:11.

The Eagles attacked, and Suter still relied on his teammates to run without the ball. This time, he received a pass from Steve Nash one meter away from the 45-degree three-point line on the right and made a quick shot. Karl Malone It was impossible to run to such a far position to help defend, and Kobe's pursuit was also a step slower, and he did not take off in time.

Seeing that Kobe was too late to take off to block the shot, Souter shot very resolutely, with a nearly perfect rhythm. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and entered the net, "shua", 11:11.

After scoring the goal, Suter opened his mouth and roared again, beating his chest with his fists.

Of course, the three-point shooting rate at this distance is not as good as that of the CIC, but in this era, it is easy to get a shot, and it looks very chic.For the fans, Suter's shooting is simply a super long three-pointer. Others only shoot when they step on the three-point line, and they can't wait to count the distance to the slightest difference.

In this year's playoffs, Suter's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 39.2%, which was better than that in the regular season.In other words, his scoring efficiency of three-pointers is even higher than that of two-pointers. Even if the opponent knows this, it is not easy to defend, because his offensive range is too far, and few people will defend close to that position. .

To paraphrase the words of "General Joe" Paul George: "I think this is an unreasonable shot."

After scoring three goals in a row, Suter became more and more excited at this time, and even his nervousness gradually calmed down. He even felt that the mighty "OK combination" was just that, and his offensive dominance was far away. Not as scary as imagined.

Charles Barkley said: "The Vultures have already scored 7 points since the start, and their performance is better than that of the "OK combination". will have the last laugh."

Kenny Smith said: "The Vultures don't have to consider the issue of defending Shaquille O'Neal on the defensive end. Although he faces Kobe's pressure, Kobe's pressure must be higher than that of the Vultures."

Charles Barkley explained: "This is the tactical arrangement of the Hawks coaching staff, and it is certainly not what Suter requested. He has proved more than once in the regular season that he is not afraid of any opponent. When the Vulture stands on this stage Regardless of the final result, he has proved that he is the top star in the active league."

Partner Kenny Smith agreed: "Indeed, the Eagles have never lost since entering the playoffs. The Vultures have the upper hand no matter who they are facing. No exception."

Charles Barkley analyzed with a smile: "As long as the Eagles don't be opened up by the Lakers in the first half, the Vultures will definitely have an advantage in terms of physical fitness in the second half. I have never seen this guy so tired that he can't run. , Every time I watch him play, he is so relaxed and comfortable, like a tireless machine."

After half a quarter of the game, the Lakers took the lead in making substitution adjustments.

"Zen Master" Jackson replaced the veteran Karl Malone for a rest, and sent Rick Fox, who is 2 meters tall and weighs 01 kilograms.

After all, Ma Long is 40 years old, and his physical fitness has seriously declined after playing on the court for too long. Even the most powerful tough guy will feel tired, and he still has to rest when it is time to rest.

Phil Jackson attaches great importance to defense and does not dare to let Kareem Rush and Luke Walton play prematurely with the Eagles to fight for offense. Although Devin George is almost on the court, he is still very hard on the defensive end.

When Karl Malone is on the court, Suter, who has a speed advantage, can easily get a shot with the pick-and-roll. Although Fox's defensive ability is not as good as Malone, he is faster, which is not a good thing for Suter.

However, after Karl Malone left the field, Rasheed Wallace took the lead in showing his power at this point, scoring consecutively on the offensive end.

Fox's single defense ability is not as good as Malone's. Although his movement speed is slightly faster, it still seems a bit difficult to face Rasheed Wallace's singles, far less calm than when Karl Malone is on the court.

Suter continued to play his offensive role, and the whole person kept running to open up space, in order to consume Kobe's physical energy.

As long as Kobe is a little more relaxed, Suter may catch the ball quickly and shoot. Even if Kobe is not out of position on the defensive end, Suter can also hold the ball and play pick-and-roll with his teammates.If you attract double-teams, you can divide the ball, if you don't have double-teams, you can play singles. There are more offensive options than the Lakers who mainly play triangle offense.

Charles Barkley, the commentator in charge of explaining the game, commented: "I don't know if it's my illusion. I always feel that after defeating the Pacers, the Vulture's off-ball running has become more and more like Reggie Miller. Relying on screens to keep circling back and forth, making quick shots when there is a chance, and using the pull to create opportunities for teammates when there is no chance, this style of play really engages the Lakers mentality."

"What's more terrible is that compared with Reggie Miller, the Vulture moves faster, has stronger explosive power, and can combine offense with the ball. I believe that Kobe must be very tired at this time, and he no longer wants to defend the monster Vulture. !"

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "This season, the vultures have improved significantly on the offensive end. His playing style will cause headaches for any team. He breaks through sharply and shoots accurately. Very selfless, he will not blindly choose to shoot, but will pass the ball more for his teammates, trying to drive the offensive rhythm of others."

苏特单节砍下了11分7篮板3助攻1抢断的数据，全面的个人表现比“OK组合”更好。就算奥尼尔第一节也只不过才抢到6个篮板，这一幕的确让不少球迷感到意外。

Although Rebrascia only scored two points in a single quarter, he performed well on the defensive end. He only allowed O'Neal to score 4 points in the second half of the first quarter. He has always maintained a fierce physical confrontation with O'Neal, making it impossible for O'Neal to sit comfortably in the low position. singles.In the eyes of the Eagles coaching staff, this can be regarded as a successful defense. Rebrasha has done well enough on the defensive end.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Lakers by six points 28:22.
