Chapter 339

On the court, offense and defense transition.

Su Yang ran across the center line with the ball, looked up at the half-court position, and beckoned to continue playing V-shaped tactics.

Seeing this, Randolph stepped up to set up the wall, but Su Yanggang dribbled the ball to the left and started, Artest switched defenses and went up to intercept.

Paul squeezed through the cover at the same time, and chased behind Su Yang in one step, forming a double-team situation in an instant.

The situation was a little anxious, Su Yang immediately lowered his center of gravity, turned sideways and continued to shift to the left.Jordan followed up the wall for a second screen, perfectly blocking Artest, and Randolph took the opportunity to disassemble, turn and cut inside, striding towards the basket.

At this time, the Lakers had no one to defend the basket, and no one tried to make up defense. All the defensive attention was focused on Su Yang.

Gasol's early grab was delayed, and Paul chased after him in the blink of an eye. With such a target, Su Yang couldn't move an inch.

The only way is to pull the ball back and get rid of the double-team, but the offensive time is wasted.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang stopped, raised his hand and passed the ball to the short corner on the left, just where George ran.

Matt Barnes rushed to try to intercept, but George passed the ball directly to Randolph who was unguarded at the basket.

With a bang, Randolph dunked with both hands and scored, and the Clippers scored 100 points in a row with a 9% shooting rate.

"Chemistry is a factor that is difficult to measure in a game..." Kerr said, "The Lakers did not make any mistakes in this defense just now. The three players completely restricted Su Yang's breakthrough in the top area of ​​the arc and the ability to pass the ball to the basket. Perhaps, who would have thought that George would take the initiative to run to the short corner to meet him, and Su Yang would be able to seize the opportunity at the first time, just a few tenths of a second."

"It's like Fisher's 0.4-second lore..." Miller chuckled. "At that time, your Spurs must have thought that they had already won, but they failed to defend in such a short time. The result of the game changed instantly, just like the Lakers just now."

Cole smiled: "I never mentioned the case of you being killed, especially by the Bulls I was in..."

On the court, Paul dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, observed for a while and raised his hand to pass the ball. The basketball landed precisely on the right waist area.

Artest, who was about to catch the ball too much, was stunned for half a second, turned and ran away with a face full of doubts.

The right half was cleared in a blink of an eye, Gasol took the ball with his back, turned around to face the basket, and raised his hands to test.

At the same time, Kobe used Paul and Artest to cover and quickly circled from the left wing to the top of the arc.

Gordon couldn't catch up, Randolph's speed switch was useless, and Kobe's short-lived chance to get open.

Gasol immediately turned to the top of the arc, pointing his hands in the direction of Kobe, and Jordan followed suit to interfere.

At that time, Gasol lobbed the ball directly into the paint, leaving Gordon in the air. Jordan didn't have time to turn around and intercept again, but Kobe strode in to catch the basketball, bent his knees and kicked off the ground. Vigorously split the buckle with one hand.

Boom!The basketball blew into the net and tied 9-9.

Cheers erupted at the scene, and Kobe excitedly shouted at Gasol, seeming to be playing very well.

The Lakers bench was full of jubilation. Odom stood up and twisted his buttocks to celebrate. Walton and the others laughed and applauded, but Paul walked up to Su Yang with a serious face and stood still without saying a word, obviously to guard against him. Take the fast break.

"Maybe you didn't pay attention just now..." Cole said, "At the moment Kobe received the ball, Paul ran to the bottom corner to cover for Matt Barnes, providing Kobe with an opportunity to pass the ball in the air. The details are true. good."

"Pau Gasol passed the ball too early..." Miller said, "Phil Jackson's smartest thing is that he didn't force Paul to play the main triangle offense, which not only allowed Paul to give full play, but also made Kobe even more unpredictable."

On the court, Su Yang managed to get rid of Paul's entanglement, and dribbled the ball to stop at the observation station at the top of the arc.

Still playing a V-shaped tactic, the Lakers still delayed by double-teaming, Barnes blocked George in advance, and resolutely refused to let him send him back to respond, Kobe also used the same method with Gordon, for a while, Su Yang could only rely on himself.

Without thinking too much, Su Yang pulled the ball back to avoid double-teaming.

Artest rushed back to chase Randolph, but Randolph ran in the opposite direction and set up a screen at the free throw line.

Jordan took the opportunity to turn around and rush to the basket. Gasol was too late to catch up because of the delay in the grab.

The opportunity presented itself, but Gasol completely gave up on backing up and chasing after him, and once again came close to interfering.

In this way, whether it is a high-throw pass or a rebound after hitting the ground, it is easy to be intercepted.

Su Yang thought for half a second, turned to the left and passed the ball to George who ran around and shouted for a cover at the same time.

The moment the voice fell, Jordan stopped, turned around and set up a wall to block Gasol, and together with Randolph, formed a longer delay zone at the free throw line, and used Gasol and Artest in reverse, Block Paul around cover space.

Cheers erupted from the Clippers bench. After Su Yang handed over the ball, he dodged and cut in. George then passed the ball back.

The pass and cut cooperation between the two was formed. Gasol was too slow to catch up, and Paul had no chance to catch up.

In a hurry, Artest pushed Randolph away and rushed to prepare to defend.

But Su Yang stopped jumping abruptly, rushed to shoot the hook, and even saved time for turning around, the rhythm was extremely fast.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 11 to 9.

The referee whistled Artest for a technical foul at the same time, giving the Clippers an extra free throw opportunity.

Boos exploded in the arena, Snoop Dogg jumped and scolded the garbage referee, but the big screen didn't dare to play it back.

"I hope the Clippers will continue to focus on the V-shaped offense in the future..." Cole thought about it, "When he was in the Suns, Nash often played the same tactics, but the types of changes are not as many as the Clippers. Su Yang's reaction is really fast. .”

"Yes, Gasol suddenly gave up on the defense, which disrupted his plan..." Miller said, "I guess he will pull the ball back again, because George didn't have the opportunity to go to the short corner to respond, but I didn't expect the two of them Play pass and cooperate."

"I don't know much about tactics, I just think the scene is very exciting..." Marvin laughed, "But from what you two said, the two teams seem to be competing in many small details, and it is always unpredictable which side will win .”

On the field, Su Yang ignored more than 9000 people booing in unison, and steadily hit technical free throws.

The Clippers returned to defense immediately. Taking advantage of the referee's time to serve, Su Yang hurriedly sent a message to his teammates, emphasizing the need to adjust the defensive strategy and not allow Kobe to run out of opportunities so easily. The specific method is to switch defenses infinitely.

In a blink of an eye, Paul took the ball to the top of the arc and lobbed it to Gasol again without hesitation.

After the pass, Paul turned to the left and ran head-to-head with Bryant, making it clear that he was going to set a screen.

Su Yang chased after with broken steps, but was intercepted by Artest at the top of the arc, and stopped decisively to chase.

Paul took the opportunity to get rid of it, and Kobe followed, facing Su Yang at the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

The dislocation was formed, and Gasol immediately gave up the test, turned around and threw the ball.

Kobe took off to catch the ball, and landed in a triple-threat position, with his left foot as the axis and trying to lower his center of gravity.

The audience cheered and cheered, Su Yang stood up calmly and did not try to bend down and reach out to intercept.

The main reason is that Kobe is too explosive, and his height is at a disadvantage. If he lowers his center of gravity, Kobe can make a strong shot with a single pull-up. The best defensive strategy is to guide Kobe to the inside, and then interfere at the moment of closing the ball and raising his hand.

Kobe also seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and did not rush to start a breakthrough, but slowly turned sideways to exert strength.

Running back is one of Kobe's signature skills. Numerous highlight shots have shown that if he makes a strong top, it will be for nothing, because Kobe will take advantage of the defender's center of gravity leaning forward and find it difficult to continue to exert force, grab the rhythm, turn around and shoot or break through.

Su Yang retreated continuously until he reached the edge of the paint area, and then raised his right hand and put it on Kobe's back.

And Kobe took advantage of the situation and bent his knees to sit hard, and the impact was like a car that suddenly started, fast and big.

Su Yang directly withdrew the chair, but didn't intend to restrict Kobe through such a trick, and immediately raised his hand to interfere.

As he expected, as soon as the chair was withdrawn, Kobe stopped his movements to stabilize his figure, and turned back with the ball.

Su Yang stepped forward and raised his hand to meet him, while Kobe rushed to raise his hand to aim at the basket, as if preparing to shoot.

Faced with this action, Su Yang instinctively wanted to jump to block the shot, but Su Yang forcibly held back and stayed where he was.

Kobe was a little surprised, slightly bent his knees and raised his hands again, but he remained motionless, just raising his hands to interfere.

The cheers of the audience suddenly became louder, and the Lakers bench also shouted, as if to give Kobe more momentum.

That thought, Kobe turned around and threw the ball to the top of the arc, and Paul happened to use the screen to go around there.

Both Gordon and George were blocked by the wall, and Paul caught the ball and made a three-pointer without hesitation.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

"YES! MY BRO!" Snoop Dogg stood up and cheered, and many big-name stars around him applauded, and the entire Staples Center erupted into thunderous shouts, and all the Lakers fans wildly celebrated this seemingly ordinary goal. .

Su Yang was slightly surprised, then turned around and went to the bottom line to catch the ball, and slowly pushed forward.

In the TNT commentary seat, Miller smiled and said: "Have you seen Su Yang's surprised expression? Actually, I was also a little surprised. Under that situation, Kobe actually chose to pass the ball to Paul. In the past, there were many open spots. None."

"The reason is very simple..." Cole said, "With Paul, he knows that he doesn't need to fight so hard. Even if he is restricted by Su Yang, he doesn't need to forcefully prove his singles ability. It is a kind of confidence and relaxation. "

Ma Wen also laughed: "Before doing it, he would definitely shoot forcibly, because that would destroy the opponent's confidence..."

On the court, Su Yang beckoned from the center line, and the Clippers once again put on a V-shaped offensive formation.

Just as he was about to start and rush towards the top of the arc, Paul suddenly approached in small steps, making it clear that he had to delay in advance.

Delaying ahead of time is a common method to crack the V-shaped tactics, and it is usually executed by someone with a strong single-defense ability. Paul, as the best defensive lineup and steal king for many times, is naturally qualified to lead the initiative, and the audience booed accordingly.

Su Yang's face was calm, and his eyes hinted that Randolph started from the free throw line and ran up to the right.

The two obviously wanted to cooperate with the screen in advance. Paul didn't know that his back was facing the basket, and the Lakers all reminded him in unison.

Paul immediately turned to the right side, taking the first step to prepare for the cover. The momentum of wanting to lock Su Yang was like a burning flame, and the audience booed wave after wave, as if the next second Su Yang fell to the ground.

There was no fluctuation in Su Yang's heart, and the front of his body became longing to shift, and Randolph also changed to cover with a wall on the left side.

Paul twisted his hips and turned around. Unfortunately, just two steps after him, Jordan blocked his way.

In a hurry, Paul quickly walked around Jordan and tried to intercept it first.

But Su Yang sprinted with all his strength, and he just rushed to the three-point line ahead of Paul, and then walked to the sideline under the cover of George.

From the center line to the left wing, there is a long distance, three consecutive screens, and it looks like a wild ball rushing.

The Lakers' defensive attention was almost completely attracted by Su Yang, while Randolph and Jordan returned to the free throw line, paralleled side by side to form an elevator door, Gordon took the opportunity to pass through the middle, got rid of Kobe and went straight to the right waist .

Su Yang hit the ground and passed the ball at the same time, Gordon caught it easily, and Artest, who was the closest, hurried forward to defend.

George was emptied at this point, Gordon passed the ball without hesitation, and Paul hurried forward to defend.

But in this way, Su Yang was emptied again, and George immediately threw the ball to the right corner.

Artest, who was closest to him, made another defense, but Su Yang shot a three-pointer with a certain movement, and the basketball crashed into the net.

"Alas..." sighs broke out in the arena, and the Clippers led again 15 to 12.

Lakers fans are quite sorry. After all, from Paul's initiative to defend from the center line, to the Lakers' general reminders in unison, to Paul's continuous pursuit, and Artest's successive defenses, the Lakers' defense has reached its limit, but they were still beaten by the Clippers. Enter.

"So let's take a guess, which of the two teams will miss the shot first." Marvin said, "They are currently shooting 100%, and according to this momentum, there may be a gap of one goal or two goals in the end. "

"Compared to the shooting percentage, I care more about the tactical changes of the two teams." Miller laughed, "The Clippers have been playing V-shaped pick-and-rolls, and the Lakers have been playing low post support. Every time they run and finish in a different way, it can be used as a crime column analysis."

"These two teams are the highest form of the current basketball game." Kerr said, "The Lakers run around the stationary Gasol, and the Clippers run around the moving Su Yang. One is inside and the other is outside. The two head coaches They are all masters."

On the court, Paul took the ball to the right at 45 degrees, raised his hand at will and missed a pass, and the basketball fell straight to his right waist.

Gasol caught the ball and turned to face the basket, Paul rushed to the top of the arc again, and Kobe also rushed to the top of the arc from the left wing.

The off-ball screen was formed, and Kobe's right was 45 degrees, and he was misplaced again to face off against Su Yang, who was switching defenses.

Gasol hurriedly passed the ball, Kobe caught the ball and turned back to the left, and Paul took the ball and put it in a three-threat position.At the same time, Kobe strode down, with the help of Gasol's uplift cover, he got rid of Su Yang and went straight to the basket.

For a moment, Su Yang was unable to squeeze through the cover, and when he wanted to go around the cover, Artest blocked the route in advance.

Little Jordan didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and didn't switch defenses to intercept Kobe, just regarded it as an ordinary running position.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang hurriedly shouted to remind him, but unfortunately Paul had already passed the ball in.

Jordan reacted and quickly turned around to try to block the shot, but Kobe had already jumped high and dunked vigorously with both hands.

Boom!The basketball went into the net, 15 to 14.

There were cheers in the arena, and Kobe turned back to the defense with a smile on his face, as if he had encountered some great event.

"Why is Kobe so happy?" Marvin asked suspiciously, "It feels so strange."

"Paul's pass was difficult just now." Cole said, "So the Clippers didn't switch defenses in advance..."

"It's not that happy, is it?" Marvin asked, "Is there any special reason?"

"Maybe it's recalling the past against the Pistons in the 04 Finals." Miller said, "That series made many fans think that Kobe played alone, he was unwilling to pass the ball to O'Neal, and wanted to grab the FMVP, but that's not the case. ..."
