Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 129
The staff worked hard for more than half an hour before the new basket was installed. Perhaps it was to prevent similar situations from happening again in the game. I don’t know where they found a triangular iron shelf and covered it. The sponge pad, a temporary reinforcement structure was built, and another basket was also fixed by the way, before the players of both sides were allowed to play again.

Anthony looked at the circle of sponge pads beside the basket, and shook his head with a wry smile.

The double-serve players returned to the field. Originally, this point should have entered the rotation time, but after the main players rested during this period, their physical feelings were similar to those at the beginning of the game, so there was no need for substitutions. The players on the field Still the first ones.

Although the basket collapsed, there was no doubt about O'Neal's final dunk, so the score at this moment was 22:18, and the Lakers had a 4-point lead.

The Nuggets are still a typical bombardment style of play, shortening the attack time to increase the number of offensive rounds. After the rest, the physical strength is almost recovered, and the offensive efficiency is still relatively high. On the other hand, the Lakers rely on F4. Triangle offensive tactics.

The triangle offense is a seemingly simple tactic, but its tactics are varied. Its main core idea is to keep the three teams on the field at a certain distance from each other to form a triangle offensive formation, which can keep the defenders at bay. A certain distance prevents the appearance of double-teams, thereby further creating opportunities for singles with the ball.

And its complexity lies in that this variable triangle is not fixed. Any three players on the court can form a triangle formation with each other. Here, the ability to read the defense of the players must be very high, and they can adapt to the changes of the opponent. To change the composition of the triangle offense.

It also has one of the biggest characteristics that through the movement of the triangle, the team's offensive skills are excellent, especially players with excellent low-post skills and certain passing ability play the role of the offensive axis.

The triangle offense is also the famous tactic of the Lakers coach Phil Jackson. Whether it is the previous Bull period or the current Lakers period, he can always maximize the performance of star players. Today's Lakers, O'Neal and Kobe are two of them. Attack strong.

In the previous rounds, Kobe succeeded in singles against Bell again and again, but the Nuggets could not double-team because of the existence of this tactic. After all, Kobe is not only an excellent scorer, but his passing ability is also average in the NBA. Above the level, once the double-team is formed, the remaining three giants will not have nothing to eat.

This is where the Lakers are strong.

The two sides launched a fierce battle in the second half of the first quarter. The Nuggets were fast and the Lakers were steady. The sparks of the two different styles of tactics were extremely fierce.

But slowly, the Nuggets began to fall behind, and the gap was widening step by step. Anthony also tried his best, but he couldn't stop the Lakers' tank-like offense, which led to all this The protagonist of the game is the "big shark" Shaquille O'Neal who broke the basket before!

I don’t know if it was during the period when the basket was being repaired, O’Neal and Kobe had a private communication. After returning from the timeout, Kobe significantly reduced the number of offenses with the ball, and the Lakers also shifted the focus of offense to O’Neal. .

When O'Neal forms a triangle, he is on the offensive center axis. His general position is one step inside the free throw line (because of the existence of the offensive three seconds, he will perform appropriate left and right walks). Generally, when he stands out of position , the opposing player's center is always between him and the basket, and this position, because of the existence of the offensive triangle, the defenders on both sides are pulled to a certain position, which is equivalent to putting the three-second zone at once. The position is released for a breakthrough route.

After the Lakers changed the triangle, they played a textbook offense.

The composition of this triangle is Kobe, Payton and O'Neal.O'Neal walked in the three-second zone and established a position outside the white line in the three-second zone. Payton's ball was given to him immediately. After O'Neal took the ball, he began to try to hit Camby with his back.

At this time, the other two players of the Lakers, Malone, George and O'Neal formed another triangle, but this triangle is dead. Players create attacking lanes.

After Payton gave the ball, he immediately ran to the outside to make a pick-and-roll for Kobe. Kobe used the pick-and-roll to successfully cut from the right wing to the inside. O'Neal took advantage of the opportunity to pass the ball, and Kobe easily scored a layup and scored. At this time, Camby was still overwhelmed by O'Neal's huge body.

Of course, it is not always possible to play such a smooth tactical coordination, because the Nuggets players will also selectively double-team to release some players. It is also thanks to the Lakers that they are F4 instead of F5. Can't fight anymore.

Of course, if it's just such a triangle coordination tactic, as long as you judge the triangle position, you can still handle it to some extent, but because of O'Neal's existence, the Nuggets are getting weaker and weaker.

O'Neal, nicknamed "Big Shark", comes from the homonym of his name, and in fact he is fully worthy of this title. As the undisputed No. [-] center in active service, his dominance can be said to be phenomenal.

Regarding the offensive routine just now, after the Nuggets emptied George to cut off O'Neal's passing route to Kobe, limited by three seconds, O'Neal directly faced Camby and launched a tank-like attack.

A true tank crush.

O'Neal is 2 meters tall, and Camby is 16 meters tall. O'Neal is not much taller than Camby, but O'Neal has a full 2 kilograms, which is 11 kilograms more than Camby. It was like a mountain was pressed down. Several times, Camby was directly pushed up by him. After he pushed Camby, he was clean and slammed the dunk directly, scaring the cameramen under the basket, and their faces turned pale. It was white for a while, and I was afraid that the basket would be broken by O'Neill again. The group of people under them ran almost fine just now, but no one could withstand this repeated danger.

But it seems that the reinforced frame is good, no matter how O'Neal ravages the basket, the frame basically does not change, which makes the photographers breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the Nuggets are complaining endlessly.

Camby can't stand up to O'Neal alone, so he will play two people, selectively empty George, and let the mobile Bell defend Kobe while taking care of George.

It's just... Once O'Neal sees a double-team, he will pass the ball and look for offensive opportunities in a small number of times, but most of the time he uses his delicate hook to score easily before the double-teamer arrives. No one knows about O'Neal. With a big body, how can he use such a small hook, but he just did it, and the feel is so soft.

This time, O'Neal can be said to be overwhelmed inside, and the Nuggets are really powerless to fight back. Even though Anthony is inseparable from Kobe on the outside, the Nuggets are always in a situation of falling behind and being beaten.

This scene lasted until 3 minutes after the opening of the second quarter. Because of the half-hour break before, the "big shark" who fought for a quarter and 2 minutes finally came to rest. Most of the main players.

On the Lakers side, except for Malone, the other four positions were replaced by substitute players, and Fisher and Grant, whom Anthony is familiar with, also played.

For the Nuggets, because they entered the rotation earlier than the Lakers, when O'Neal was off, the field was already full of substitutes, and Diaw also took the lead in replacing Wallace, ushering in his first Nuggets career. one stop.

Just when the substitute players from both sides were on the field, Anthony suddenly noticed that Wallace, who was sitting at the end of the bench, had a strange look on his face.

"Could it be because Dior played before him?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Anthony's mind, thinking of this, he walked towards the chair next to Wallace.

Speaking of the newly joined players, Bell and Korver have more contact with Anthony. Their personalities, one is sensitive and changeable, the other is gentle, and they are more obvious. There is also Uncle Mu, who is a kind of personality Feeling like an elder.

Only Wallace, except for Anthony and Nene teasing him when he first joined the team, it seems that there is not much communication after that, and Wallace does not seem to be a talkative person.

Walking to the edge of the chair, as soon as Anthony sat down, the dunk in the last team confrontation, whether it was an imitation of Anthony or McGrady, and the dunk with the lever used in the game appeared in his mind. Find a chance to ask, but I have been forgetting, and now is just a chance.

"Hey, Gerald, what's the matter? Seeing that you're not happy?" Anthony asked with concern when he came to Wallace's side.

"I'm fine." Wallace looked at Anthony and smiled. When Anthony came over, he had already seen it, but he didn't expect to come to him.

At this time, Anthony looked up at Dior, who was holding the ball in the frontcourt, and said suddenly: "Boris has just joined the team, and Coach Mike should want to check what level he can play. Wang's three-pointer It is also an indispensable part of the bench lineup..."

Anthony's seemingly inexplicable sentence had a completely different feeling in Wallace's ears, as if Anthony was actually explaining why D'Antoni didn't send him to play first.

"Coach Mike is a good coach." Wallace said with a smile, his expression was much more relaxed than before.

When Anthony saw this, he probably guessed what Wallace was thinking. He was afraid that Dior would rob him of his position in the team!

It's just... Will it really be robbed?

Just when Anthony thought of this, Diaw made a false pass on the field, assisted Korver to hit a three-pointer, and the Nuggets bench cheered.
