NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 160

The Lakers' triangle offense is Odom's organization. How should I put it, it's barely there.

But the essence of the triangle offense is to give the stars a chance to play singles. Now there is only one Kobe, without a strong second point, no matter how good Zen Master is, he can't play well.

Moreover, the Lakers are still short of people, and they don't even have a good substitute, and they don't know where the money has been spent.

Most teams in the league waste a lot of money, and this is Russell's favorite part.

With him around, every dollar the Suns spend will be worth more than other teams spend.

Now the Lakers' No. [-] Smush Parker is a minimum-salary player, and he is forced to become the Lakers' third scoring point.

You must know that this buddy did not get along with Kobe in history, so he can still play in the starting lineup. You can imagine how short the Lakers are.

After trading a superstar like O'Neal, it is reasonable that the team will not be short of people, but the team's operation is as fierce as a tiger.

The Lakers' vision for the summer draft is actually not bad, and Bynum is definitely the best insider they can pick.

But this one is still very young and needs time to level up. This season can't be counted on at all.

The Lakers are eager to achieve results, so it is difficult to concentrate on cultivating rookies. If they haven't traded the draft picks, they probably won't be able to get any suitable bargaining chips.

Regardless of whether the Lakers play the triangle offense or what, there is no doubt that the game against the Lakers is to guard against Kobe.

However, the Suns did not double-team or something at the beginning, but let the forwards and guards take turns to defend against consumption.

If Kobe doesn't attack first, the Suns will have enough troops to strangle the rest of the Lakers.

If Kobe kicks directly, he won't pass the ball more after the sun pinches Kobe after he gets used to it, because the efficiency of others passing the ball can't improve, and there are fewer shots in the front.

In this game, Kobe started by himself, and now he is holding his breath to lead the Lakers to a good start.

He wants to prove that he is very strong. Last season, the organization couldn't save the Lakers, so this season he will attack.

Kobe Bryant felt good in the first quarter, playing Joe Johnson had no temper.

Joe Johnson doesn't like to play against opponents with strong personal ability and strong defense.

Therefore, after being fouled by Kobe, the Suns replaced Iguodala to defend.

Other positions don't need to pay much attention except that Marion has to stare at Odom.

The outside world thinks what will happen to the Suns without Stoudemire, but the Suns' current lineup is really not bad.

So they can rotate players to deal with Kobe, after all, this is the point of the defensive pressure.

Bryant got off to a strong start, but the Lakers didn't immediately gain an advantage at home.

Their defense is better this season, the parallel champion is in good physical condition, and the defense is not bad.

It's just that the Sun's offense is really strong.

Because Russell was in the limelight in the last game of the Suns, the Lakers defended him more closely this time.

However, Russell focused on passing the same as last season, and the Lakers' well-prepared defensive routines were like fists hitting cotton.

Under Russell's pass, Joe Johnson, Iguodala and Marion scored one after another, and Varejao all scored, leading Kobe to score in double figures in a single quarter, but the Lakers were still slightly behind.

The triangle offense is superstar basketball. The Lakers will only suffer when they play without superstars, because there are too few scoring points and the Suns have little defensive pressure.

As for the rotation lineup, the Suns are really much better than the Lakers.

The Suns are a rookie like Ellis, and his scoring ability is better than the Lakers' bench.

Don't doubt that the Lakers' bench is so crooked. There are many young people but none of them are attacking types.

It is also related to their tactics. In Zen Master's system, role players will not be given much chance to perform.

Without enough opportunities, they can't grow naturally, so the Suns' rotation time is pressing the Lakers to play.

Wallace made a fierce fight on the court, which made many teams in the league regret. Such a fierce striker only needs so little money, why didn't they grab it in the summer.

It's all because the Bobcats are too weak. Wallace played a little data there, and the outside world doesn't know how much water there is.

After all, the stats of bad teams are of no reference value, but they don't know that Wallace, who has a relatively strong defense, has no points at all, and his stats are all real.

And because there was no chance before, after the Bobcats had the ball, they have been improving.

It's a pity that except for Russell, who has open eyes, no one knows that this is a good seedling.

The king probably regrets it the most now. The striker who can defend with impact was given to the Bobcats.

Originally, they took the initiative to trade the same type of Artest in the middle of the season in history, but they had a troublesome personality, so they knew they were losing money.

Kobe sat on the bench to rest, and everyone was pissed off.

As soon as he went to the team, he would fall behind to double digits in a few minutes. How can he play like this, will he be exhausted.

Kobe's mentality was affected when he played again, and he missed several shots in a row.

Fortunately, the Lakers are now coached by Zen Master. He can control some Kobes, otherwise the Lakers will collapse in the next quarter.

Kobe suddenly had a problem with his touch, so they let Odom hold the ball and transfer the ball, which had some effect.

At this time, Russell's assists were already in double figures.

The Lakers also suddenly discovered that defending Russell still can't defend like this. He was the leader in assists last season, and his average assists per game was several times behind No. 2. It is still necessary to defend against his passes.

Seeing the team stumble and support until halftime, coach Jackson also heaved a sigh of relief.

There is nothing to say, the strategy will be changed in the second half, and now the players can calm down.

In the third quarter, the Lakers first became more determined on the offensive end and increased their shots from the outside.

Kobe, on the other hand, added breakthrough points in the offensive selection, hoping that the team's three-pointers can soar.

On the defensive end, they are no longer staring at Russell's scoring, but hope to lock up the rest of the team.

Although Smush Parker was despised by Kobe, he is actually very good in physical fitness and relatively tall. He can cause relatively large interference to opponent players by himself.

Logically speaking, as long as Russell doesn't cheat, Parker can still guard him.

However, the Lakers soon discovered that Russell started to score again when his teammates were more closely defended.

It's just that exaggerated, which makes the Lakers' defense very difficult.

If the player is accurate, he makes a fake move casually, and the defensive player will be nervous.

Russell was doing shot fakes and pass fakes so casually that it made Smush Parker dizzy.

The key point is that his fake moves will not destroy his rhythm, and he is still so accurate whether to pass or shoot next, it is simply not human.

In this case, the Lakers found that their only chance against the Suns was offense.

Thus, counter attack appeared.
