against the front

Chapter 153 Is This Guy Swatting Flies?
"Yeah, the Lakers will definitely make changes after the timeout, so you should pay more attention on the defensive end, try not to stay away from the basket, and give them a chance to break through easily."

"Serge, if the Lakers have a pick-and-roll in the high post, you can switch positions with Yan, and you will defend the Lakers' pick-and-roll."

After only one round, in less than 30 seconds, Phil Jackson called a timeout, which will definitely adjust the team's tactics and strategies. However, how will Phil Jackson adjust? His was unable to make predictions, but Reggie Toyes also put himself in the shoes of himself and thought about it, what should he do if his team faced the situation just now and couldn't get inside?Reggie Troyce has only two ways, the first is to transfer the offense to the outside, and the second is to pick and roll and pull the opponent's inside.

The king's outside line has Tony Allen, a defensive champion, and a small forward John Salmons with good single defense ability, plus Serge Ibaka who can help defend to the three-point line, so even if The Lakers transferred their offensive opportunities to the outside, and they may not be so easy, so the best way is to pull out the opponent's inside pick-and-roll. As for the triangular tactic of peddling dog meat, it is based on the fact that Kobe is invincible in singles. Based on the basics, Kobe's singles efficiency is limited, so the Lakers' triangle offense cannot be turned at all, because the essence of the triangle offense is to hand over the basketball to the player with the strongest offensive ability, so that he has a better chance. A more comfortable opportunity to play singles, Kobe is uncomfortable playing now, can the Lakers still play the triangle offense?
So Reggie Troyce stood in his position, guessed about the next change of Phil Jackson, and made a response. Of course, even if his prediction was inaccurate and there was a deviation, that would be No problem, let Yan Hua, who is more capable of single defense, sit at the basket, and Serge Ibacara, who is excellent in assisting defense, goes out to assist in defense. It is very normal and the correct arrangement, because even after the timeout , Shifting the offensive direction to the outside, Reggie Troyce's current change is also effective.

Although Reggie Troyce's changes were all based on his own speculation, when the timeout ended and he saw the Lakers' lineup, Reggie Troyce knew that he was right. Among them, Lamar Odom replaced Andrew Bynum, moved Pau Gasol to the 5th position, and let Pau Gasol, who has a stronger mid-range shooting ability, play center. Jackson's purpose has been very obvious.

Sure enough, as Reggie Toyes expected, Pau Gasol did not go to the inside to get a position after sending the sideline ball, but stayed near the free throw line, obviously to give his own defender a pick-and-roll.

When the Lakers guard Derek Fisher, who was holding the ball on the left side of the court, began to accelerate laterally, and Pau Gasol, who was near the free throw line, also began to move towards the top of the arc, originally following behind Pau Gasol Yan Hua ran back to where Lamar Odom was. As for Serge Ibaka, who was facing Lamar Odom, he quickly ran to the top of the arc. Just arrived before Derek Fisher and Pau Gasol completed the pick-and-roll, and successfully blocked Derek Fisher after completing the pick-and-roll.

"What is this old boy doing?" The series of moves between Yan Hua and Ibaka just now made Phil Jackson a little confused. It was very good, very timely, and did not leave any gaps and flaws for the Lakers, but in Phil Jackson's view, this kind of transposition was completely unnecessary, even though Serge Ibaka's misplaced defensive fee Scheer obviously has an advantage over Yan Hua, but this kind of switch is a waste of energy. Does Reggie Troyce think that Yan Hua and Ibaka have too much energy?

Completely different from Phil Jackson's expression, Reggie Toyes nodded with satisfaction after seeing Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka's successful swap, because Reggie Toyes From Iss' point of view, as long as Yan Hua stays at the basket, the Lakers won't be able to play well.

Although they failed to pull Yan Hua out successfully, the Lakers players on the field were still prepared to proceed according to the established tactics. Derek Fisher, who completed the pick-and-roll cooperation with Pau Gasol, originally planned to use himself He used his dislocation advantage to get rid of Serge Ibaka, and then cut directly to the basket, but after trying a double, Fisher realized that his dislocation advantage was useless against this black and tough face. There was no way to get rid of Ibaka's Derek Fisher, so he had to continue to move laterally. After using his own speed advantage to get rid of Ibaka by a position, Fisher quickly passed the basketball to the counterrunner To Ron Artest near the paint.

Ron Artest, who received a pass from Derek Fisher, is now facing the same situation as Paul Gasol just now. He can attack the basket when he advances, and he can shoot on the spot when he retreats. However, after learning the lesson from Gasol just now, Ron Artest chose to shoot on the spot, but before the shot, Artest deliberately cast a glance at Yan Hua not far away, and then he was relieved The take-off, shot.

However, just after Artest took off, the former boss of the king felt someone rushing towards him from the side and rear. No need to think about Artest, it must be Sergi at the top of the arc. Ibaka came back, so Artest, who had already jumped up, did not rush to shoot, but paused in the air for a while, seeing Serge Ibaka rushing from behind him, After covering the air with a slap, he slowly threw the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

However, just after the shot, Ron Artest was staring at the basketball flying in the air, and when he was about to watch it fall into the basket, he saw a white figure rushing forward from the side. The thrown basketball changed its trajectory and flew off the field.

"You are raised by XX, why are you everywhere!" Artest, who hadn't landed yet, saw who the flying figure was, and scolded directly. It wasn't Yan Hua, but it could be Who, although Serge Ibaka failed to block Artest's shot, but Serge Ibaka's interference with Artest gave Yan Hua a second defense Opportunity.

After witnessing Yan Hua block Pau Gasol off the court just now, I saw Yan Hua block Ron Artest again just after entering the court. Lamar Odom standing behind Yan Hua is now There was only one thought left in his head: "Is this guy a fly swatter?"

"Shite!" Phil Jackson, who originally hoped that the adjustment during the timeout could disrupt the King's defensive deployment, saw that Ron Artest's shot was also blocked by Yan Hua, and immediately scratched hard. After shaking his head, he was blocked for the first game of two consecutive attacks. Nothing could hurt morale more than this.
