Basketball myth

Chapter 233 Painful Transformation

The Lakers evened the score by relying on such a series of offenses!

Thoroughly understand why Coach Z did this in Thomas' mind!Because Coach Z wants to find the weakness of the Lakers!I want to use a less risky approach to win the Lakers, or every champion coach will choose this way!It's a habit!good habit!
Still, the Lakers aren't one of those teams with obvious flaws!It is impossible for the Thomas deal and the players to give the Timberwolves such a chance!As the Lakers who defeated Jordan, they will not give their opponents obvious weaknesses!And the more important point for the Lakers is that the Timberwolves themselves have very big flaws!It's the inside defense problem!

This is a common problem of running and bombing teams!Otherwise, the Spurs in the future will not be the biggest sufferer of the Suns!
The same is true of the Timberwolves now!Of course, that's all for this season!And Garnett's defense compared to Stoudemire, hehehe!

Coach Z made a mistake at the beginning!It can also be said that he is too confident in his team!However, this is also good, it puts a lot of pressure on the Timberwolves, telling them what to do is the key!That's what it means to fight to the death!
However, the Timberwolves in this game did not have this condition, and their physical strength was finally exhausted!There are no prerequisites for such a gamble!Although the last O'Neal received the final sixth foul, it was 6 minutes before the end of the game!And Carter took over the game, and his performance of 2 points in the last 2 minutes was enough!
The Timberwolves have lost two games in a row!It can be said that we are already standing on the edge of the cliff!

But when Thomas looked at Coach Z taking away all the players, he knew how difficult the next game would be!For a godfather, failure is not terrible at all, what is terrible is the loneliness of not being able to meet an opponent!Even more frightening is seeking defeat alone!
When such a person stands on the edge of the cliff, what he has to do is actually very simple, that is to squeeze out his last little blood and do the last crazy thing!
The media after the game continued to build momentum for the Lakers' victory!Most of the media are saying that the Timberwolves are on the verge of failure! The myth of Coach Z was broken by the Lakers!There are also many examples!Well, in the eyes of many people, this is the proof of losing!When the Timberwolves were fighting the Trail Blazers, Pierce of the Timberwolves averaged 27 points per game, but now Pierce is only 15 points against Carter, and the Timberwolves' loss to the Lakers is almost 13 points!
Garnett scored a lot, but his rebounds dropped by more than 4!The inside of the Timberwolves is completely dominated by the Lakers!Nash's scoring and assists have improved a lot, but Nash, who averaged 25 points per game, only shot about 40!For Nash, who is seeking stability, is this also a last resort?

Of course!It is already very rare to be able to pose such a threat to the Lakers now!The Lakers' loss is more of their own problem!For example, if Hill's score is below 10 points, many media will mention it again!
Many people have already speculated whether there is something wrong with Hill?In other words, Coach Z's deliberate targeting has already yielded results!Lots of coaches figured this out!Of course, the name Jackson also appeared in the hearts of all coaches!In any case, restricting Hill to such a good player needs everyone to remember!
On May 5, the third game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves!Victory battle!The winning Lakers win the final victory!The Timberwolves who won this game have a ray of respite!

The players on both sides have not changed in any way!It's just that at the beginning, the two coaches were humble to each other, and the more harmonious picture of greeting each other did not exist!Neither coach had a mind to talk!This is the time to not back down!Amidst the deafening noise of Timberwolves fans, the two teams began their final competition!

Thomas looked at Coach Z standing there without any expression!I don’t know the truest thoughts in my heart!I don’t know what Coach Z is going to do!Just know a little bit!In this game, even if the Lakers win the final victory, they will still be scratched off!Maybe even donate a liter of your own blood!

This is the lowest price!

However, if the Timberwolves want to win, they will have to gamble their last bit...

Garnett jumped the ball to victory, Nash got the basketball, and quickly passed it to Jackson without any hesitation. It was Hill who defended Jackson. Following Hill's Jackson's rapid advancement, before Horry assisted in the defense, a quick single success!

Incomparably determined!
After O'Neal finished attacking at the basket, Garnett passed the ball quickly, Nash led the ball forward, and before O'Neal returned to the basket, Jackson dribbled the ball and singled Hill successfully!
It doesn't look any different from the last game!The Timberwolves still gave up O'Neal's defense, and their foothold against the Lakers was not stable!Fast forward, fast singles!

Of course there is still a big difference!For example, the direction of the attack, such as the resoluteness of the attack!When O'Neal successfully returned to the defense, the Timberwolves patiently played a pick-and-roll offense. When O'Neal was not staying in the paint, Garnett's offense was the most effective!The Lakers don't have much to do with this talented guy!
At present, Pierce is really not Carter's opponent!This is the real strength gap!Of course, there is a great possibility that they will complete mutual explosion in the future, right now?Pierce is completely at a disadvantage, this game is like that!Pierce doesn't have any attacking ideas at all, just do a good job of his teammates' pick-and-roll, Garnett's pick-and-roll, and Lewis' pick-and-roll!

Pierce has no way to open up the Lakers' offense, but the Lakers will never underestimate a guy who averaged 27 points per game in the first round of the playoffs in his first season!That would be a very miserable loss!
Carter is strong, very strong, but he's still a rookie!The strength of a rookie may last a lifetime, but there is still a fatal problem that no one can ignore, that is the experience accumulated over time!Defensive experience!
For the stars, the difference may be this!Maybe you can rely on your young body to be invincible in offense, but in defense, you can't rely on your body to fight all over the world!unrealistic!
Carter can't be as majestic in defense as he is in offense!What is needed is the accumulation of time!Just like LeBron in this year's opening game, he is extremely entangled in wanting to transform, right?We are used to LeBron's toughness, but we have forgotten that players born in 03 are already veterans in the league!
How old are the players in the current league who are in charge?
LeBron said that he really relied on his body more than Jordan did back then. Of course, the same player compared with LeBron!Anything else is an insult to him!
In order to prolong his professional life as much as possible, LeBron still has too much to do!Duncan needs 3 years!

Gossip less, that's it, Pierce relied on his own initiative in the offense to completely attract Carter's attention to himself!Can't take care of other places!
This is nothing, Pierce's approach also sacrificed his own scoring. For the Lakers, there is a more painful point, and that is Jackson's singles!This was something Thomas hadn't thought of at all!For no other reason, just because of one point, the name of the person Jackson is going to face, Grant Hill!
Jackson spent his first season with the Lakers!At that time, Thomas made a drastic trade, trading out 8% of the main players of the Lakers in the past, and faced a small problem!It can be said that it has laid the foundation for the future glory of the Lakers, but there is also a small problem!That is, the number of the Lakers is less than 12!

Thomas is not a Virgo perfectionist, but he is also a picky guy, and in his mind, a 12-man team is his real team, and 12 players can play is what Thomas wants!So, looking for his 12th man among countless fringe players!So Jackson was selected!

Jackson has the strength Thomas needs, and has the most important shooting ability of the triangle offense!He still has potential as a high school student!At this time, the myth of high school students being promoted to the NBA has not been broken by others. Every player like this is the favorite of the basketball world!

Sorry, though!For Thomas at that time, Jackson had the potential to do something. In Thomas' eyes, he was also a spare tire, the last level of spare tire!

And it is a spare tire that may be abandoned by Thomas anytime and anywhere. Don't blame Thomas for his actions. Everyone will have their own emotions, not to mention that Thomas himself is a guy who disdains other people's ideas!Of course, if Jackson is indispensable, Thomas may give him some opportunities!However, the strongest part of the Lakers at that time was the striker. In the offense, Kobe was stronger than Jackson, and his potential was even greater than him. Even if Kobe was not good, Hill could completely throw Jackson away by 10 blocks at that time!

On defense alone, what's in store for Jackson's first year as a high school senior?body?Jalens' foothold in the Lakers is because of defense!What's more, the Lakers also have Barry, Horry, these guys that Jackson couldn't catch up with at the time!

Of course, these are nothing!The strength of the Lakers doesn't need these, Thomas thinks there are plenty of opportunities!However, don't forget that the really good coach for Thomas is Popovich!

When Thomas was in the Spurs, it was when Jackson won the championship in the Spurs. You can imagine what Thomas, who respects his teacher, thinks of Jackson!
Jackson had a bad time with the Lakers!It's a wonder that a veritable fringe of the team is doing so well!
