This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 368 The Flaws of the Magic Team
At this moment, on the Staples side, the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs has officially started. It is a bit unexpected that these two teams can reach the tiebreaker, but it is reasonable. The defending champion Los Angeles Lakers has extraordinary strength and entered the playoffs at the top of the wild west, but the San Antonio Spurs, who are ranked eighth in the west, only lost seven games and their GDP is healthy Under the circumstances, the Spurs still have good fighting power, especially Tony Parker, who has absolute suppression.

On the normal historical line, although the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 in the first round, Tony Parker was injured in the third game, but now the historical line has been slightly changed, and Parker is still healthy The state is in game.

During the halftime break between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic, many spectators focused their attention on the game.

There are even many players or staff of the team watching the game. It would be a bit fun to say that the Los Angeles Lakers were finally won by the San Antonio Spurs.

The lineup for the Los Angeles Lakers is as usual.

Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum.

The San Antonio Spurs here.

Tony Parker, Keith Bogans, Richard Jefferson, DeJuan Blair, Tim Duncan.

Bynum helped the Los Angeles Lakers get the first wave of the ball. The Los Angeles Lakers played a triangle offense. The ball was given to Paul Gasol inside and DeJuan Blair was defending him.

Blair has started five games in a row. He is 15 centimeters shorter than Pau Gasol. He is the height of a small forward and plays the 09th position. He only entered the league as a second-round pick in [-], but Popovich dared to let this rookie start in the crucial tiebreaker, which is enough to show that coach Popovich is bold and eclectic in employing people.

And his strong body and passionate way of playing also helped the San Antonio Spurs during the game. Paul Gasol was also very uncomfortable by this short and stout insider. Gasol has no upper hand at all, and under Blair's defense, Gasol's data dropped slightly, averaging 17.9 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.

Pau Gasol made a mid-range first opener, which was a good start for the Los Angeles Lakers. Under Popovich's formation, Pau Gasol would not have many opportunities in the low post. In the mid-range, Pau Gasol can do a lot of things, support the pass, mid-range, facing the twin towers of the Los Angeles Lakers, the Spurs must not shrink to the basket, after all, the current San Antonio Spurs here , there are really no other useful players. The current first substitute inside is Antonio McDyess, a 36th player who is about to be 206 years old. His height of [-] is extremely short for Gasol and Bynum. , and in terms of speed and speed, he can't keep up with the opponent's player's rhythm at all.

Looking back, Tony Parker used Tim Duncan's pick-and-roll to reach the basket, a running shot, and sent the ball into the basket.

The Lakers basically have nothing to do about Parker, and even Fisher, the old fish, can't defend Tony Parker at all, but Zen master Phil Jackson is still persistent in using Fisher. At this point, this is a habit of employing people, and it is also the stability of the team's tactical system. Tony Parker's small sports car is basically in a state of being overwhelmed. Once it enters the inside line, it needs various defenses.

Parker, who is thin and not particularly tall, is the No. [-] position among the No. [-] positions. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the No. [-] position with the most lethality at the basket. His turnaround layups and throws are definitely the best in the league.

In this round of playoffs, he averaged 22.5 points and 7 assists per game, which shows that Parker is really at home.

Kobe is one of the few superstar players in the league who likes to defend against the opponent's scoring arrows when it comes to critical moments. In the NBA, it is basically a defensive strategy where the king does not see the king. Even if the position is right, it is rarely true. Most of them will be completely on the offensive and defensive ends.

But he didn't dare to take the initiative to defend Tony Parker easily. Firstly, when he defended Tony Parker, he was basically overwhelmed. Secondly, the San Antonio Spurs' ball movement was one of the smoothest teams in the league. If you disrupt the inherent defensive matchup, the opponent is likely to use extremely effective defensive strategies to target you.

Of course, in some specific rounds, Kobe will not hesitate to become the locker of the opponent's arrow figure.

On the side of the dying old fish, he also looked helplessly at Tony Parker asking for anything on his head.

Back to the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant missed a three-pointer from the perimeter. In this round of the series, the San Antonio Spurs let two players, Jefferson and Bogans, stare at Kobe. Something was wrong, directly opening the double-team mode also made Kobe very depressed.

After six games, he averaged 28.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. The statistics are actually not bad, but Kobe's shooting percentage was forced to almost fall below the 40.5% mark. The shooting rate is only 28.4%. It can be said that the San Antonio Spurs' defense against Kobe is still very targeted.

The first quarter of the game was a bit like the rhythm of the three games the Lakers lost.

Kobe didn't feel good, and Derek Fisher couldn't keep up at all. In addition, Gino Belgium came to play a few shuttles from time to time. Under the well-run San Antonio Spurs system, the Los Angeles Lakers played very messy.

On another field, the second half between the Charlotte Bobcats and the Orlando Magic also began.

Most of the fans turned their attention to that side, and after the game between the Bobcats and the Magic, they could just come back and watch the second half of the tiebreaker.

-

"In the first half of the game, the Orlando Magic made 8 three-pointers with more than half of their field goals. It was 15 shots, but only made 3 three-pointers, and the shooting percentage was only 20%. In this data, it lost 15 points. In the second half of the game, the first thing the Bobcats need to do is to improve the shooting percentage , We don’t need to worry about this point. After all, for professional players, you can’t maintain a 20% shooting rate throughout the game. The feeling of recovery is certain. The second is to defend. It gives me the feeling, Today, the Bobcats should expand their defensive circle. The opponent is so accurate on three-pointers, and there are really no great breakthrough players in the opponent's lineup. Vince Carter is no longer as brave as he used to be, and you Open up the space and let Howard play well, his two-pointer and two-pointer hammer is better than your three shots from the outside, and you can score consecutively."

Su Qun commented on the problems encountered by the Bobcats in the first half of the game, and also gave his own understanding and options. Now that the score gap is so large, it is basically impossible for you to take care of both inside and outside. Moreover, Warcraft's scoring explosive power can only be said to be average. If you want to choose to give up one end, it should be an inside line, even if Howard is the opponent's only super giant.

And Larry Brown of the Charlotte Bobcats seems to have really heard Su Qun's words, and he really started to attack the opponent's three-pointers. In fact, once the opponent's three-pointers are average, this one-star system , it is difficult to operate perfectly.

After Roy Hibbert rested off the court for more than half a quarter, he finally made his debut in the third quarter. What he has to do is to resist Howard, raise his hands high, and don't foul easily. The more you want to completely hold down Dwight Howard, the more you can't do it. On the contrary, this defensive strategy that gives you certain offensive opportunities to see if you can grasp it has worked to a certain extent.

Howard's offensive skills in the interior are still a little rough, and although Hibbert's explosive power is average and his speed is very slow, he is two and a half inches taller than Howard after all.

The feel of the Charlotte Bobcats is also gradually recovering. The most representative of them is Brandon Roy. In the opening stage of the second half, Roy succeeded in consecutive high-post jump shots. Vince Carter, who was defending him, was obviously not as good as Roy in terms of rhythm.

Among the four shooting guards, Kobe doesn't need to explain, he is naturally the strongest, and because of his fighting spirit and the youngest age, he is still the all-powerful character in the league today.

The situation of the other three is not good, Iverson almost retired; after McGrady was repeatedly injured by the Houston Rockets and chose to abandon him, he also suffered from the Los Angeles Clippers, especially in their No. [-] pick Blake Gerry After Finn was reimbursed for the whole season due to injury, the Clippers finally chose to continue to play poorly, and McGrady was also on the selling list early. If not, he will probably be cut this summer; There is a tendency to fall behind, but he is better than the former two, at least he still has a chance to prove himself as a starter in a team.

Of course, the reason is that he doesn't have Iverson's unruly, second-in-command, third-in-command, or even a substitute role, accompanied by the aging drinking fountain watchman, maybe he can accept it, as long as he continues his career; There are not as many injuries as his cousin McGrady. Although his career is entering the later stage, there will be some injuries more or less, but these injuries will not make Carter withdraw from the league immediately.

However, compared with the rising star Brandon Roy, Vince Carter's immediate combat ability is several grades behind.

In fact, Brandon Roy is definitely qualified to be the absolute leader of a team, but because the Bobcats have Zhou Lin, he has almost no right to be the top leader, and as Roy's ability becomes more and more The stronger he is, the more obvious the shackles between him and Zhou Lin are. Roy can't play off the ball very much, and it's obviously wasteful for him to be a pitcher one by one, even if Larry Brown often staggers the two. Playing time, but there are very few games where the two of them all broke out. Basically, one played very well, but the other played a little bit of a stretch.

Zhou Lin took the initiative to give the ball to Brandon Roy in the second half. He also hoped that Roy would find his hand. He didn't mind who was Jordan and who was Pippen. As long as he could win, everything would be fine. is reasonable.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences, this is the most reasonable combination between the two super giants.

And Zhou Lin made more contributions on the defensive end. Zhou Lin's single defense ability can only be said to be average in the third and fourth positions, and he can't even reach the elite level, because of his wingspan. , In addition, the speed and confrontation ability are not absolute advantages in the third and fourth positions, but Zhou Linqiang is strong in defense.

His height, as well as his ability to judge, whether it is to defend the inside or to judge the timing of the outside, are extremely accurate.

At the moment when Zhou Lin consciously sacrificed the ball and spent more energy on the defensive end, the chemistry of the Charlotte Bobcats started.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Charlotte Bobcats played a 12-4 offensive spurt, narrowing the point difference to within double digits.

"82-74, the Charlotte Bobcats are catching up. This quarter has already caught up with a full 11 points, and now there is still a difference of 8 points. Teacher Su Qun, what do you think of the Bobcats in this quarter? changes."

"First of all, let's defend. As I said, the Bobcats can't want everything. Once you want everything, you often get nothing. The Bobcats weigh the pros and cons. The defensive oppression on the perimeter The feeling is coming up, and what I want to say is that the breakthrough ability of the Orlando Magic is really not a particularly big threat to the basket. In addition, Zhou Lin is a player, so there is no need to go into details about his versatility. In fact, he can really change the course of the game. Today we saw how strong he is on the defensive end. If I remember correctly, he also gave Warcraft a big life, and the Orlando Magic's outside line broke in. Zhou Lin was also the first to make up the defense, and today Zhou Lin also controlled the foul very well. He is really a bit like a free man in a volleyball game. Of course, this analogy is not particularly appropriate, but his investigation The ability to make up for gaps is obvious to all, although at the data level, the defensive data is only 1 block, but the contribution of many games is not reflected in the data."

"Teacher Su Qun's words are incisive. The Orlando Magic lack players who can kill the basket, just like Derrick Rose in the last round. This is not a particularly big loophole. At the moment, the Charlotte Bobcats The team got caught."

However, after the timeout, the Orlando Magic made some changes. Stan Van Gundy began to arrange some offensive tactics, such as pick-and-rolls, and inside running positions. The end is slightly weak, but relying on the competition of Warcraft, the Orlando Magic still have more offensive opportunities than the Bobcats.

The Orlando Magic also stopped the counterattack of the Bobcats. After Vince Carter hit the buzzer in the third quarter, they ended the third quarter 89-78.

The point difference of 11 points happened to be stuck on the point. The Bobcats were weak, but they had a chance to chase!
