against the front

Chapter 109 Advantages
The game between the Kings and the Lakers at home can be said to have completely exceeded everyone's expectations, at least in the first half of the game. I can’t even imagine the current situation on the court. As one of the strongest inside teams in the league, the Lakers, with Paul Gasol and Andrew Bynum, are in the game against the Kings. , was hanged and beaten by the king's rookie center Yan Hua.

Who would have imagined such a situation?Who would dare to think so?Although Yan Hua, the King's center, is the best rookie of the season, Yan Hua is a rookie after all, and in the eyes of everyone, although Yan Hua is very good, he still has various shortcomings. For example, lack of defense ability, poor mid-range shooting, and weak blocking skills, so before the start of the game between the Kings and the Lakers, no one expected Yan Hua to have the upper hand against the Lakers Twin Towers. In the first half of the game, when Yan Hua faced the Lakers Twin Towers, he not only had the upper hand, but an absolute advantage.

22 points, 11 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 4 assists. These are the data sheets Yan Hua handed over at the end of the first half. It is also Yan Hua's almost invincible performance against the Lakers Twin Towers. The king's somewhat ridiculous lineup of one big and four small was able to play in front of the Lakers. At the end of the first half, the king also led the Western Conference's No. 55 Lakers by 47 points by 8 to [-]. many.

Phil Jackson is very familiar with the big and four small tactics, and Phil Jackson also has very rich experience in dealing with the big and four small tactics, so even the Kings have an absolute advantage after the start of the game , but Phil Jackson is not worried, because Phil Jackson knows that it is impossible to beat the Lakers with the king's half-baked tactics of one big and four small. It is possible to maintain the advantage until the end.

Phil Jackson has such confidence, and Phil Jackson also believes in the players under his command.

But what Phil Jackson didn't expect was that the King's big and four small tactics were not half-baked, but really strong, and Yan Hua, the core of the King's big and four small tactics, was even more invincible. Andrew Bainer James and Pau Gasol took turns, but they couldn't restrain the kid, and when Phil Jackson, who had no choice, instructed them to start double-teaming Yan Hua, the King's outside lines used three waves Dividing the rain made Phil Jackson give up double-teaming Yan Hua.

The big four small tactics are like this, using the singles ability of inside players to attract opponents to double-team, so as to create offensive opportunities for outside shooters, while outside players use their shooting and movement to open up space for inside players, Create opportunities for singles. As for the defensive side, they are likely to face an embarrassing situation where they cannot defend the inside line and the outside line cannot be blocked. Once such a situation occurs, they will not be far from losing.

"Yan, how is your physical fitness now?"

In the locker room of the home team at the Arco Arena, head coach Reggie Toyce was standing in front of Yan Hua, asking about Yan Hua's physical condition. The King was able to suppress the Lakers in the game and took the lead at the end of the first half. The Lakers lost 8 players, and the biggest hero among them is undoubtedly Yan Hua. Throughout the first half of the game, Yan Hua not only maintained a very high offensive efficiency on the offensive end, but also served as a good barrier on the defensive end. Especially after Spencer Hawes went off the field, he supported the King's inside defense by himself.

I have to say that Yan Hua's performance today is really brutal, small hooks, master layups, turnaround jump shots, neither Andrew Bynum nor Pau Gasol can stop Yan Hua from getting under the basket On the defensive end, Yan Hua's stop at the basket was basically a cap. In Reggie Toyce's view, even the four major centers of the year were nothing more than that.

But the only thing Reggie Troyes worried about was Yan Hua's physical condition. In fact, at the end of the first half, Reggie Troyce was already worried about Yan Hua's physical condition. As a rookie , Reggie Toyce has a strict arrangement for Yan Hua's playing time. In all games this season, Yan Hua's playing time has never exceeded 35 minutes, and most games have been controlled under 30 minutes , and in today's game, in order to be able to beat the Lakers, Yan Hua didn't rest at all in the first half, and played the entire 24 minutes of the first half. Hand-to-hand combat at the basket will speed up Yan Hua's physical consumption.

"Coach, don't worry, I have no problem at all."

In fact, Yan Hua's current physical fitness has indeed not been a problem. Because of the use of the Patrick Ewing experience card, Yan Hua today has inherited all the abilities of Patrick Ewing at his peak. Ewing at his peak , But playing 82 games in a season, and the average playing time is close to 40 minutes, playing the whole game at every turn, a mere 24-minute game is nothing.

Not only in terms of physical fitness, Yan Hua's mentality is also very good now. At one time, Yan Hua also imagined that he could kill all directions in the NBA arena like Yao Ming, so when Yan Hua suppressed the Lakers on both offensive and defensive ends Yan Hua enjoys this feeling of omnipotence very much after the inside line twin towers, and Yan Hua also knows that after this game, Yan Hua will lose these abilities and return to ordinary, so Yan Hua can't wait to play full time at this moment. games.

"That's good, Yan. I won't say much about your performance in the first half. We need to win this game. We can't lose any more. So your task in the second half is very simple, just like the first half. That way, attack the inside, attack the Lakers' rim, attract their double-teams, and create opportunities for John and Andres on the outside, understand?"

After Reggie Toyes finished speaking, he put his right hand on Yan Hua's shoulder. The implication is self-evident. Reggie Toyce has put all his hopes of winning on Yan Hua's shoulder , as long as Yan Hua can continue to play at the level of the first half, the king's hope of winning is still great.

While Reggie Toyes took advantage of the intermission to arrange the lineup and tactics for the second half, Phil Jackson in the Lakers locker room on the other side was also doing the same work, but he was cheering because of the lead in the game The king's locker room is different, but the atmosphere in the Lakers locker room is a bit tense. As the head coach, Phil Jackson is calling and criticizing one by one in the locker room to vent his dissatisfaction.

Phil Jackson was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Lakers in the first half, especially the two insiders of the Lakers. They were very dissatisfied. 8 points, all because their inside twin towers were blown up by the king's rookie.

"Okay, now that you have all clearly realized your shortcomings and mistakes, then, I hope you can correct the mistakes you made in the first half in the second half of the game."

"Paul, Andrew, that little guy is very strong. I hope you all will give your best and don't let him continue to be arrogant."

After the bloody storm, Phil Jackson, who had vented his anger, began to arrange the tactics for the second half of the game. Before the start of the game, Phil Jackson was going to send a full substitute lineup for rotation in the second half. Now It seems that this arrangement can only be abandoned.
