against the front

Chapter 259

"Charles, do you think Phil Jackson and Reggie Toyes have any other meaning in today's arrangement?" Kenny Smith, who was on the list of starting players, was taken aback for a moment, and then handed the list to Charles Barkley, wanting him to "analyze in depth". What kind of medicine are they selling?

"For the Lakers, it's easy to understand. In the last game, the Lakers were able to beat the Kings. In addition to the King's poor collective touch on the outside, the three-inside lineup restrained Yan Hua very well, which is also a very important factor, so continue. There's nothing wrong with using a three-man lineup."

"However, the King's outside line cannot be ironed all the time, and any player will not always be ironed. If the King's outside line finds a touch in today's game, with the strength of the Lakers' outside line defense in the last game Not only will they not beat the Kings, but they may also be defeated by their own wrong defensive strategy.” When Charles Barkley explained the reason why the Lakers continued to use the three-inner tactic, Kenny Smith immediately shook his head. Head, obviously can't agree with Charles - Barkley's explanation.

"Kenny, although the Lakers have sent three insiders, Lamar Odom has always been a small forward insider. His footsteps can keep up with the king's outside players, and he has a strong defense. Weakness is also converted according to the opponent's offensive style and shooting touch, and it is impossible to have the problems you are worried about." Seeing that Kenny Smith did not continue to refute or question, Charles Barkley continued: "As for the king , I think Reggie Toyes thinks the same as you. The king's outside line was very strong in the last game, but in today's game, they may find the touch. No one can say no to the touch. Sure, maybe when he will come!"

While Charles Barkley was still having an in-depth conversation with Kenny Smith about the starting lineups of the Kings and Lakers, as well as on-court tactics, Yan Hua had already finished warming up on the court. Also walked towards the middle circle.

"Boy, are you ready to score 10 points today?" After Yan Hua entered the center circle, Andrew Bynum, who had already stepped into the center circle before Yan Hua, taunted Yan Hua said a word.

In the first game of the series, he scored 35 points, 18 rebounds, and 8 blocked shots. After leading the Kings to an away victory over the Lakers, in the second game of the series, Phil- Jackson wanted to hold Yan Hua at all costs, so he immediately sent a three-inner lineup to attack Yan Hua frantically on the defensive end, with Andrew Bynum in the back and Pau Gasol in the front. There is Lamar Odom on the side, as long as Yan Hua catches the ball, it will be a three-person double-team, and there is no room for negotiation.

In the frenzied siege of the Lakers, Yan Hua only took 9 shots and scored 11 points in the last game. Although Andrew Bynum was not responsible for limiting Yan Hua, but looking at his own Andrew Bynum was in a great mood when his rivals were deflated. Therefore, before the start of the game, head coach Phil Jackson announced in the locker room that he would continue to send the top three insiders today. According to the standards of the previous game, After encircling Yan Hua, Andrew Bynum began to mock Yan Hua with confidence.

"10 points? Why don't the two of us compare who has more points today?" After hearing Andrew Bynum's ridicule, Yan Hua dismissively replied to him, and Andrew Bynum After hearing that Yan Hua was going to score against himself, he muttered something in a small voice, and then there was no follow-up.

Although Andrew Bynum's IQ is not enough, he is not stupid. Yan Hua is the core of the king's tactics, and he is also a super insider with comprehensive offensive methods and explosive scoring ability. Andrew Bynum is at best in the Lakers. He is just a role player. He is not as good as Yan Hua in terms of shooting power and offensive methods. Comparing points with him is either stupid or stupid.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Yan Hua easily defeated Andrew Bynum, and directed the basketball thrown by the referee into the King's half court, winning the ball for the King's first attack.

"Although Yan Hua's ability to jump the ball is very strong, Andrew Bynum will win once anyway." In the three series, Andrew Bynum had no wins when he jumped the ball with Yan Hua. His jump ball is very strong, but Bynum is also nicknamed "Little Shark" anyway, so if he loses like this, he still has to lose face.

As in the previous game, not only did the king's starting lineup remain unchanged, but even the tactical running position did not change at all. After the jump ball, Yan Hua ran directly to the Lakers' basket. After Bynum and Pau Gasol's back and forth attacks, Yan Hua quickly moved towards the free throw line, while making room for Tony Allen to break through, he was also looking for a gap to catch the ball.

Seeing Yan Hua leave the basket, Tony Allen, who was controlling the ball near the top of the arc, quickly rushed towards the Lakers' basket. After being blocked by Pau Gasol, Tony Allen did not Instead of playing hard, he turned around and handed the basketball to Yan Hua.

Almost the same as the previous game, Yan Hua had just received a pass from Tony Allen, and Lamar Odom's double-team was already in place. At the same time, Pau Gasol also gave up to Tony- Allen's defense rushed towards Yan Hua again.

Yan Hua, who had no room for adjustment, took advantage of his height and wingspan to pass the basketball directly to Sergey, who was given up by Lamar Odom because he rushed to replace Pau Gasol to double-team him. Serge Ibaka.

In the last game, Serge Ibaka couldn't bear to look straight at him, so when Yan Hua gave the basketball to Serge Ibaka, the surrounding Lakers players even rushed over one by one There is no supplementary defense, and they seem to be waiting for Serge Ibaka to shoot from the three-point line, and then hit the iron like in the last game.

Although because of the reason of the last game, Serge Ibaka, who received a pass from Yan Hua, was still a little apprehensive, but Serge Ibaka, who was unguarded, still held the basketball in his hand without hesitation. The shot was made, because before the start of the game, the head coach Reggie Toyes emphasized in the locker room that no matter who except Tony Allen, as long as there is an open space and no shot, it is unconditional end.

And since the end of the second game of the series, Serge Ibaka has been strengthening his three-point shooting. For two consecutive days, Ibaka didn't know how many shots he had made in total. After two consecutive days of high-intensity shooting training, Ibaka's arms were always sore and swollen. After nearly a day of recovery training, he only slightly improved.
