Chapter 153 The Blazers' Three-Center Tactic

At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 11th, Thomas brought Alice to the Staples Stadium!The introduction to the outside world is that the other party is my cousin!Putting on a formal attire, Alice, who looks like a lady, attracted the attention of everyone in the team, and even got to know Thomas' relatives in other ways!

But I don't know if they would be envious of Thomas if they knew the inside story!This is really not a very pleasant thing for Thomas!With such a person hanging behind his back, Thomas also had a headache!But for the time being, Thomas is not ready to tell the truth!Instead, start preparing for the game against the Trail Blazers at night!

The Lakers ushered in a series of home trips, relatively easy trips, and also started their own winning streak!
In Thomas's view, the current Trail Blazers should not pose any threat to the Lakers. Even if their main players all have All-Star potential, Sabonis, who has the most A+ strength, and Rasheed, who has A+ potential. O'Neal Jr. won't cause O'Neal any trouble!
The current Blazers are not the point where all the players sitting on the bench are 10+10 players!In addition to their potential on the inside, the two players on the outside really haven't shaken the strength of the Lakers!It is far from the luxury perimeter of the Lakers, and the same is true for the bench!
It stands to reason that such a Trailblazer who has no advantage in the interior is unlikely to cause a little trouble for the Lakers!However, it turned out that it really caused trouble for the Lakers!O'Neal, Rasheed and Sabonis appeared on the field at the same time!

Three center tactics?
Thomas was immediately taken aback when he saw such a tactic appearing in the arena!Was this created by Senior Dunleavy?No wonder later Thomas used three centers like that, but no one said he was original!

It turns out that there are already such users!

The three centers of the Blazers can be said to be another version of the Nets at that time!Sabonis's pass, like Love's pass, Rashid's offense is stronger than Yi Jianlian's offense, but Dior and O'Neal at this time have their own advantages and disadvantages!
The three-center tactic is more like an enhanced version of offense under the use of Coach Dunleavy!The Nets' three-center tactic is more like opening up space for defenders to get the ball!It's just because the three centers of the Nets all have the ability to make three-pointers!
The use of the pioneers has completely liberated Sabonis!You don't need to spend much energy on O'Neill!Both O'Neal and Rasheed took the heavy responsibility of defending O'Neal well!
What a pity!In terms of dealing with other insiders, insiders with various skills may be insiders who have a certain advantage in height or weight. Such tactics will be very effective!No matter who faces three different styles of defense, they will be very passive!However, what they were facing was O'Neal, an O'Neal who was similar to anyone!

No matter who defends him, O'Neal's goal is to crush the opponent. Except for the other three super center-level players, he can slightly suppress O'Neal's offense. In O'Neal's eyes, there is no difference between other centers. !This is the domineering of a shark!

Therefore, at the beginning of the three-center strategy, the defensive inside line failed!If you fail to defend O'Neal, then you can defend the outside line. You must know that such a lineup must have a large defensive area. Three tall men above 206 will definitely interfere with the Lakers' outside line, right?
Unfortunately, it still doesn't work!It is because the movement speed of these three people is too slow!Both Kobe and Hill belong to the dexterous type, and Hill has played tricks on the inside offense. No matter who of these three is facing Hill on the front line, they are all facing Hill's smile , very happy smile!

Playing against such an opponent is Hill's favorite!As mentioned last time, Hill's scores are all scored inside, so Hill's acceleration ability is the strongest!Even a small man would have a hard time facing Hill like this, let alone a big man over 2 meters tall!

However, the three-center tactic is not so useless. For the Lakers, defense basically does not exist, but the Blazers' offense is not so easy to defend!

Anyone who encounters three big and tall offenses above 206 will have a headache, especially when they all have certain mid-range shots!
For example, when Sabonis gets the ball, the opposing O'Neal must come out and put a certain amount of pressure on him, otherwise it will be a ground pass or a shot!However, such a Lakers team will have a certain emptiness inside!
Sabers couldn't organize the offense, so it was up to Rashid on the inside to beat Horry!Horry's slightly thin body is really not Rashid's opponent, back-up singles are Rashid's forte!Especially in such a range inside!
Seeing this situation, Thomas had to send Barkley on the field!However, in the face of such a situation, Jermaine O'Neal is the king of the interior!Although now he still looks a little immature!However, it is still possible to single Hill under the basket relying on his own jumping and height!
However, Hill soon taught him what a superstar is!
O'Neal got another chance inside, and Hill defended him alone. In the three-second zone, O'Neal got the ball with his back, and prepared to rely on his own weight to further gain a certain amount of space before jumping up and shooting!
But Hill was sticking tightly to his body. Xiao Ao couldn't gain more space by leaning on Hill because of his not very thick body. After Xiao Ao saw that this didn't work, he immediately wanted to rely on his own body. Jump forcefully jump up and shoot!

But when O'Neill picked up the ball, Hill's hand to steal the ball had already arrived, and he completely guessed O'Neill's action!After successfully stealing the ball, Hill took the ball and quickly attacked. Facing the obstruction of the two defenders, he did not slow down at all. He formed a three-pronged formation with Kobe and Fisher, and quickly scored!
The Blazers' centers are still running behind!
This is another trouble for the Trail Blazers. They can't make mistakes, otherwise, the Lakers' counterattack will come!

The good thing is that the Blazers' guards are very competitive. Relying on the pick-and-roll from the outside, they scored inside and scored. The shooting percentage was very high in the first half!It can be compared with the Lakers!

In the first half of the game, the offenses of the Lakers and Trail Blazers were even, and both sides' shooting percentages were very high!No one can defend anyone!

However, the expressions of the two coaches are different!Thomas was relatively relaxed watching the performances of the players on the field, and also taking a look at the advantages and disadvantages of this three-center tactic, and what can be improved in his own team, huh!This means that Thomas thinks that his team will win, and began to think about how to arrange tactics!

On the contrary, Coach Dunleavy has a dignified face!A flat battle on the court means that the Blazers are going to lose!Because of one thing, what the Blazers have done means that the substitute is completely incapable of scoring!
Or one more thing to add, the physical strength of the three center forwards can't hold on to the audience!Without these people opening up the inside defense, O'Neal alone is enough!

Sure enough, the game in the third quarter said it all!The Lakers' bench scored 17 to 5 and won the score that established the victory!

The main players who played in the fourth quarter did not have the physical strength to run more!Kobe began to show off his power, continuously assaulting the inside line, exhausting the Blazers' little physical strength!

In the final result of the game, the Lakers won by a score of 121 to 107!O'Neal scored 33 points, Hill scored 24 points, Barkley scored 16 points and 8 rebounds!Kobe scored 22 points and scored 12 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter. He won the victory relatively easily!

The 5 main players of the Blazers scored in double figures!Rashid even scored 20 points!It's a pity that the substitute center only scored 1 point, and scored with a free throw!The inside line completely missed!The back line still scored a lot of points under the cover of the three center forwards, but a team without an inside line cannot win!
