Chapter 311 Classic Duality

"Wow! Big Surprises!"

Kerr turned to look at Reggie Miller and said, "If I heard correctly, you just said that the triangle offense is behind the times, but the days when the Lakers won the championship don't seem to have passed too long, what I said Right?"

Miller curled his lips and shrugged: "I know you use the Lakers as an example to refute, but when you have the peak Kobe, and the peak Gasol, plus a group of excellent role players, you can win the championship with Princeton tactics, understand?"

"It's this kind of theory again. You wouldn't use O'Neill's phrase 'his grandma and Jordan can win the championship together' as an argument?" Cole shook his head and said, "Every time you belittle the triangle offense, you always like to over exaggerate the player's ability. , then I want to ask you, why didn’t the Bulls win a championship before Phil moved in? And the Lakers at the beginning of the century.”

"The reason is very simple..." Miller chuckled, "Because of the Bulls before 91, Scottie Pippen hadn't grown up, and the Pistons hadn't grown old. The Lakers at the beginning of the century were the same. Improve to 22.5 points per game."

"Is it really that coincidental? It happened that Phil settled in and executed the triangle offense, and the two teams started to win the championship?" Kerr said, "If you insist on saying it is a coincidence, then there is no need to continue the discussion between us. Stick to it."

"Yes, it's such a coincidence..." Miller laughed, "I can also argue from another aspect, for example, why Phil Jackson didn't win the championship or even enter the finals for two years after returning to the Lakers in 05. The Lakers didn't return to the finals until the third year because Pau Gasol joined? And why other coaches, other teams, have no successful triangle offense cases? As long as you can explain this problem, I will immediately admit that the triangle offense is still possible .”

"OK, OK, I know you want to talk about Kobe Rambis' coaching experience in the Timberwolves..." Kerr said, "The results he achieved are indeed relatively bad, but those players did not understand the triangle offense. .”

Miller chuckled: "So, according to your statement, the triangle offense is a certain requirement for the players? Then you are admitting that only when the players are relatively strong can the triangle offense run smoothly, right?"

Cole was stunned for a moment, and said: "Any tactic will require players. In comparison, the triangle offense has a great bonus to the team. Of course, other tactics may also achieve the same effect, but it does not explain the triangle offense. Behind this era, there are many factors affecting the team's final results in a season, and we can't just consider the tactical system."

Miller wanted to say more, but Marvin rushed to say: "The timeout is over, let's see how the Lakers adjust."

On the court, the referee whistled and the Lakers kicked off in the backcourt.

Kobe took the ball directly, and quickly took the ball across the center line with both feet. Seeing that Tucker was close to him, he immediately changed to sideways to protect the ball and advance, then slowly brought the ball to the left wing, suddenly twisted his hips and raised his hand, towards the left waist Ground pass.

Gasol catches the ball and waits with his hands up, while Bryant strides toward the paint, moving diagonally.

Such a movement is a typical way to open up the space for low-post singles.

Tucker subconsciously chased sideways, and when passing by Gasol, he reached out to interfere by the way.

Unexpectedly, in this brief moment, Kobe stopped and ran back, heading straight to the left corner.

Gasol also passes the ball to Kobe for a hand-to-hand screen.Tucker hurriedly twisted his hips to catch up, but it was too late. Randolph hurriedly switched to intercept, but Kobe took the ball and took a big step, got half of his body space, and fell back.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 14 to 6.

There was applause in the arena, and Miller asked with a smile: "Is this a triangle offense? It looks exactly the same as the previous running strategy, except that Fisher has become Kobe, and there is no transfer at the top of the arc. It is simpler. I understand it correctly." ?"

Cole nodded: "Of course, this is the most common starting style of the triangle offensive tactic."

"Could Gasol switch to another power forward so easily and get stuck on the left waist in advance?" Miller laughed, "And the main reason for Kobe's scoring this time was not Tucker's defensive mistakes, which allowed him to get an easy shot." Chance?"

"What you are talking about is the result, but the real reason is that Gasol is more threatening with the ball at the waist, luring Tucker to double-team interference." Cole said, "I know you want to use this as an example, and retort that changing As other players, there is no such a big threat, but the triangle offense is a concept, of course requires players to have strength, this is the NBA stage."

"It's the classic duality about the triangle offense..." Miller laughed. "When you run the triangle offense and finish the shot, you can't tell whether it's because the triangle offense is too good or because the defense is too bad."

Cole shook his head again and again: "You are sophistry..."

Before the words fell, Su Yang used the cover to force his way to the inside line, and made a layup against Bynum, but was bumped off the field.

The referee did not blow the whistle, Gasol grabbed the rebound, Fisher dribbled the ball fast, and made a jumper at the free throw line.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Jordan Jr. and Bynum, who were chasing after them, jumped up and competed at the same time, and the basketball was forced to fly off the court.

Amid the exclamation of the audience, George kicked off the ground, jumped to the outside of the court, grabbed the basketball and slid it into the court.

In a hurry, George missed the target, and the basketball flew directly into Artest's hands, and the audience cheered suddenly.

Artest took the ball and immediately passed it to the basket. Bynum jumped with his back to catch the ball, turned around and put his hands on the basket.

Jordan struggled to take off to block the shot, but the static strength suffered, and he was squeezed away by Bynum.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 14 to 8.

In the transition between offense and defense, Su Yang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, quickly scanned the half-court position, and raised his hand to pass the ball to the right wing.

George caught the ball and kicked it to the ground, then used Randolph to cover, and broke through along the sideline. After kicking his face, he found that Gasol hadn't delayed his grab, so he immediately took off with the ball and shot it.

Artest jumped high and caught the rebound, landed and pushed straight forward, all the way to the right corner of the frontcourt.

Fisher received the ball on the right wing, and immediately divided the right waist, and Gasol once again received the ball with his back.At the same time, Fisher started running with his hips twisted, quickly rushed to the free throw line, set up a wall to block Tucker, and set up a horizontal screen for Kobe.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang directly switched to intercept Kobe, and Gasol put down his hand that wanted to pass the ball.

After such a movement, the Lakers did not get an easy shot, and Gasol began to bend his knees and sit hard.Randolph steadied his heels, and the two confronted for a long time. Gasol roared, turned to the baseline, stepped up and took off with a big hook.

when!The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, rebounded and jumped out of bounds, and the referee whistled for a violation.

Miller immediately smiled and said, "Okay, you don't need to tell me this time, I can also see that the offense just now was a typical triangle offense. , if according to the general defensive strategy of the team, Tucker would squeeze through the screen to catch up with Kobe, then Fisher would be able to get the ball to catch and shoot for a short time, or if Kobe was faster, he would also have room to catch and shoot, but Su Yang directly Start switching defenses, and the triangle tactics can only become low singles."

Cole was speechless for a while, and Marvin said, "Su Yang rushed in, and Bynum tried to intercept him."

On the field, Su Yang was overturned by Bynum from behind, and the whole arena burst into cheers.

Van Gundy and the Clippers substitutes stood up and shouted for a foul, but the referee didn't hear it, and the Lakers took the opportunity to launch a fast break.

Kobe dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, shifted to the left with the help of Gasol's cover, and passed it to Fisher with an emergency stop.

At this time, Su Yang got up from the floor and ran to the center line. The Clippers had no one to defend Fisher, who was in a wide open position.

Amidst the cheers, Fisher took off steadily, raised his hand and threw a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net.

After a wave of 9-0 attacks, the Lakers caught up to 13-14.

Van Gundy got up and signaled that the Clippers requested a timeout, and the cheers in the arena exploded again.

Su Yang turned and walked to the bench, George leaned over and said, "Is chasing points just now a triangle offense?"

"There were two rounds of triangle offense..." Su Yang replied, "But they were able to chase points, mainly because of their defense."

"Then tell me when you have time, what's going on with the triangle offense..."
