Chapter 172 The Triangle Offense Reappears
Back to the arena.

The Rockets, like warriors who have won a battle, received the warmest cheers from the fans present.

After Qin Tao and the others entered the players' bench, they quietly waited for the start of the game.

Compared with the "neither arrogant nor impetuous" of the Rockets, the atmosphere of the Lakers is a bit depressing.

It can be seen from Kobe's expression alone that something obviously happened during their halftime break.

but.

As the game started, the reaction between the two sides was not very important.

According to the lineup arrangement that has always been in the game, the two sides replaced their main players again at the beginning of the second quarter.

The Rockets have Harden, Asik, Jeremy Lin, Parsons and Patterson, and the Lakers have Kobe, Nash, Howard, Gasol and Metta World Peace.

Judging from the first quarter of the game, the Lakers were obviously affected by the team's situation, and they didn't even use the previous third of their abilities.

At half-time, maybe something happened to them, but as soon as they come back to the game, they are a potential threat.

Regarding the Lakers' lineup, McHale still holds high the banner of offense, giving players great flexibility and independent offensiveness, as long as they do their best on the defensive end.

After D'Antoni was in a trance in the first half, he has lost control of the team's arrangements.

As Nash advanced with the ball, the Lakers should have launched a run-and-gun tactic, but the Lakers played a positional offense.

And from the starting point of view, Kobe has a strong control over the current lineup.

Sit down.

Qin Tao carefully observed the changes in the Lakers team, and expressed great approval for their current tactical choices.

It's not that he already has the ability to guide the country, it's all because the Lakers have two big insiders, there is no need to play any running and bombing, this is completely the result of the original inversion.

of course.

This kind of statement is not absolute. D'Antoni's small ball tactics, in cooperation with some small tactics, are bound to have very good results.

Tactics spread out.

The Lakers gradually gave people a sense of triangle tactics.

When Kobe was the starting point of the attack, Gasol on the inside line was pulled to the right side close to the high position, Nash was rooted around the top arc, and Kobe was ready to launch the attack from the left side close to the bottom corner.

Well known.

Phil Jackson's triangle offense, the first requirement is that the players must stretch the space.

If one person does not run and position according to the tactics, then Kobe, as the pivot point, has to immediately push forward the entire triangle offense according to the situation on the court.

Like now.

Because of Howard's positioning, even though he knew that the team would play a triangle offense, he never really left this area considering the inside problem, and he was quite close to Kobe.

Seeing so.

Kobe then cruised to the top arc position, Nash ran to the high position on the right, and Gasol gave way to the inside line, faintly pulling Patterson to the bottom corner on the right.

Such a change.

Howard's position is not so obtrusive immediately, and as a mobile player, Metta Shiping can also bring more changes to the team according to tactics.

Relatively speaking.

The Rockets' defense is a little helpless.

Because of space constraints, they had to lose the united front with their teammates in order not to miss people and other problems, and gradually developed into a man-to-man tactic.

But everyone knows that once Kobe moves, Harden will definitely be impossible to defend.

Thus.

Parsons on the wing, Jeremy Lin on the other end, and Patterson who was brought to the bottom corner, because the distance is too far, it is impossible to help Harden. The only one who can help him is the one who is closer to the penalty area Asik is gone.

This can be seen.

How threatening is the triangle offense to the defensive line.

And Qin Tao, who has seen the entire change of the Lakers with his own eyes, also admires their tactical quality very much.

To know.

The Lakers have experienced friction within the team, and now they can organize such a smooth set of tactics in a short period of time, which shows how strong their professionalism is.

There is no longer any suspense.

When Kobe broke through Harden and rushed to the inside with the ball, the Rockets' performance was the same as the previous analysis.

And Kobe, who is like a sharp knife, did not choose to attack blindly. When Asik approached, he didn't even need to look at Howard's position. He turned around and ran to the backcourt.

bang~
After venting hard in the first half, Howard once again used a powerful dunk to end the first offense in the second half.

After landing, he didn't roar again, and his whole person appeared extremely quiet.

There was a saying among the fans in the previous life that when Howard put away his happy basketball, he would immediately transform into one of the most dominant centers in the league!

These words are not meant to be ridiculed, let alone ironic. Everything just means that Howard has put all his attention on basketball instead of putting his energy on making fun.

Easy to fight again.

The Rockets' offense was in full swing, as if they were not going to give the Lakers any chance to breathe, and everyone ran wildly in the half.

In the NBA.

All coaches have told their players that if they want more chances, run like crazy.

Only when everyone starts running and the basketball is not kept in one person's hands for too long will it bring corresponding opportunities.

But players are human beings after all, not machines. It's okay for a while, but it's absolutely impossible for a whole game!

and so.

When the Rockets ran out of the opportunity, the other players immediately shrank to the inside, and Harden from the outside received the ball and shot it.

The basketball hit the top of the backboard, and the inside line instantly huddled together.

But because of the rotation force of the basketball when it was shot, the direction of the fall changed accordingly, and it wobbled into the basket, scoring a three-pointer.

Qin Tao, who watched the whole process, really wanted to give a thumbs up to the offense of the two teams in this round.

The Lakers' tactics are commendable, and the Rockets' running is full of vitality.

but.

As the Rockets' physical strength gradually appeared a little problem, the Lakers' tactical quality gained the upper hand.

When the entire third quarter reached the last 3 minutes, even if Qin Tao was replaced, the Rockets could not stop the fluent Lakers. In the end, the Lakers regained 7 points. They had a 12-point lead in their hands. Only five points left.

Back off the field.

Looking at the panting players, McHale frowned.

He sensed that he was taking things for granted, that raising the flag of offense wasn't enough for them to win.

Next.

McHale chose a moderate approach, arranging a tactic that uses offense and defense in a balanced manner, and the rhythm also slowed down.
