The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 559
Zen Master knows very well that if he doesn’t make some adjustments, the Lakers will really be on the verge of failure. This season’s Lakers leadership is not as good as he imagined. Old Buss didn’t give him the trade decision-making power he wanted. What kind of triangle offense to play? The existence of point guards like them is a boon for the head coach, because the tactics can be simplified infinitely.

The current Lakers don’t have such a point guard. They had a chance to have it. If they had Xiao Tian in their account, instead of the current group of people, I would have the confidence to bring the Lakers to the finals, because Xiao Tian is a true one-for-nine existence. This kind of strength is something that Jordan didn’t have. Better than him, this guy let me see the shadow of Wilt Chamberlain, the first all-around fighter in NBA history, he was more fortunate than Chamberlain Xiaotian, at least he won the championship in his third season, instead of becoming the background board for Russell and Kyle countless times like Chamberlain, his statistics in each finals are better than Russell, but the championship will always belong to the opponent. , That is entirely caused by the coach's tactical positioning. Isn't Duncan an example? In the Spurs in the historical space, he needs to consider his teammates and keep playing, so his statistics don't seem to be as good as Webber, and these people are hard. They think he relies on the Spurs system, but then again, the Spurs system already existed before Duncan, but why didn't David Robinson lead the Spurs to the finals.

The system is supported by individuals, and point guards like Xiao Tian, ​​Magician, and Big O don't need a system. Anyway, if you give them the ball, everything will be fine.You can go and sit and drink tea.

In the second half of the game, Kobe got enough opportunities. He listened to Zen Master’s advice and would pass the ball when scoring. This activated Glen Rice and Malone, and Payton’s pressure was also reduced a lot.

Zen master can only shake his head. Kobe and O'Neal haven't found a bond that allows them to play together. The current Lakers have too many cores. Everyone needs opportunities, so someone has to make sacrifices. Although this is very unfair to O'Neal, judging from the progress of this game, sacrificing him is really a correct choice.

"Shaq was dazed again. Hey, Brand scored points in front of him again. The No. 30 player from Duke has already scored [-] points in this game. The Lakers are in danger." James Worthy seemed very entangled. He really hoped that the Lakers could win this game, but the result was really unsatisfactory. It wasn't that the Lakers didn't work hard, but that O'Neal was too childish.This shark is good at everything, but he is a little immature in character. His competitive spirit for basketball is really average.

James Worthy’s lament made the Lakers’ home fans start booing this Lakers pseudo-superstar one by one. If it weren’t for this guy’s crazy poisonous milk before the game, would the Lakers be what they are now? Another super insider in the history of the Lakers. Lakers fans questioned O'Neal. After all, O'Neal arrived in Los Angeles about the same time as Kobe and Xiao Tian entered the league. Let's not talk about Xiao Tian. Kobe's performance this season is definitely in the top three among the league's shooting guards.

It is a terrible thing for a player to continue to live on his laurels, especially for an aristocratic team like the Lakers. This is simply a disaster. The Lakers can't afford to wait. The Grizzlies are already so invincible. If they can't win this season, will they have a chance next season?

There is no reason for the management to think of the question that Lakers fans think of, but O'Neal is different from the historical space at present. His current agent is not the guy Perry Rogers, but the son of Old Buss, Joey Buss.

So O'Neal will not leave the Lakers in a short time, especially Kobe. He is the biggest hope of the Lakers at present, because many Lakers fans feel that this guy has seen the shadow of the logo man.

The Lakers this season are really ruined, but the bad thing is that Xiao Tian and Duncan are evolving every season, while O'Neal is still the same, still relying on his tank-like body to crush.O'Neal's physical fitness has been top-notch in history, and there are very few people who can match him. It is for this reason that O'Neal understands that he does not need to work hard to reach a height that the opponent looks up to.

Once this kind of inertia is formed, it will become a habit. It is not an easy thing to change. In the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally tied with the Grizzlies. Kobe had already scored 50 points. He was really crazy. On the Grizzlies side, Xiao Tian scored 23 points and 21 assists. Expectedly, he got the highest score in the game, but the Lakers didn't take the lead, they just tied with the Grizzlies. This time it was the Grizzlies' offensive round. Xiao Tian controlled the ball and faced Payton. At the same time, it also caused Malone's foul, which was Duncan's 20st point. When Xiao Tian helped him solve Amy's troublesome woman, Duncan began to explode continuously.

The Lakers fans at the scene lost their voice at this moment. Jerbas was already furious in the box. You can see Xiao Tian's ball. He is also silent. Finally, he understands why the logo man will resign for the other. This guy is really worth doing this. It is gorgeous. This is gorgeous. It is amazing. This kind of curved arc ball is only available on the football field, but Xiao Tian spreads it with his hands. What else can you say.

Malone also scored in double figures in this game, but at the critical moment, he allowed Duncan to score a 2+1. This mistake was fatal.The Zen master looked at the number of timeouts, and thought for a while that those who did not continue were called timeouts.

But he had to pay the price for this decision. The Lakers attacked, and Payton still went to look for Kobe, but Xiao Tian judged Payton's passing route at this moment, cut it off early, and sprinted to the frontcourt with the ball. .

Zen master chose to timeout at this time, Pat Riley showed a sarcastic expression, this guy just doesn’t like to call timeout, if he has Jordan on the court now, there is no problem in doing so, just call the ball to Jordan, and the others will pull it away, but the current Lakers don’t have a player like Jordan, Kobe has that potential, but they don’t have that height yet, O’Neal will always be hacked at critical moments, this is what makes Zen master very entangled, if O’Neal is replaced, the Lakers’ inside advantage is really gone There is nothing left, but if you don't replace it, the Grizzlies will definitely cut the shark. Although this style of play is not beautiful, competitive games are always about the result. You are right when you win anything. No matter how much you lose, it is just sophistry.

So the Zen master did not replace O'Neal, and the tactic he formulated was to beat O'Neal. Kobe's eyes flashed a haze. Unexpectedly, the coach still had to look at O'Neal at the critical moment. Could it be that he is really not as good as this fat man?Kobe seemed very silent. The game started. Payton on the Lakers handed the ball to O'Neal at the first time this time. When O'Neal was about to dunk, Augstagg slapped the ball down and raised his arm actively. O'Neal also missed the ball because of a foul. Now it's time to test O'Neal's free throw.

O'Neill looked at the big white bear bitterly, he must score, O'Neill silently prayed, Duang, the ball missed the iron, the hearts of the Lakers fans hung up, Zen master still had a timeout in his hand, he didn't call it, he wanted to keep it, O'Neill knew very well that even if the next ball was scored, it would mean nothing.So he didn't make a shot, the rebound fell into his own hands, O'Neal took the ball and flew up in the air, this time Augstagg fouled again, with a bang, O'Neal even dunked in with the ball, Augstagg's basketball IQ is really unflattering, O'Neal flew up, why did you send the foul.O'Neill's heart immediately calmed down. This free throw was still random, but the goal actually went in. The Lakers narrowed the point difference to one goal.

Paul Westphal called a timeout and replaced Brand at the same time. The game was over in less than 30 seconds. The Lakers will definitely be desperate for this ball. Xiao Tian did not catch the ball this time, but served the ball. They went to help defend Duncan, and when they reacted, the goal had already been scored. This tactic made the Lakers not expect that Xiao Tian and Duncan were not the executors, but Brand was actually the executor. The time of the game was less than 10 seconds. The Lakers trailed by 5 points. The timeout in Zen Master's hand was very important.

He replaced O'Neal and replaced Fox and Horry. He planned to make a three-pointer. At this time, all five players on the Lakers field could shoot three-pointers.

O'Neal's eyes were gloomy, but if the team wins, he really doesn't care, but do the Lakers really win? The entire Staples has lost their voice now. The Lakers served the ball and the ball reached Payton. In this scene, O'Neal on the bench left the arena directly. Seeing the core players leave without authorization before the game ended, Zen master was very upset. He knew that the game was over because the time had run out. The Lakers team worked so hard in this game, but they still didn't win the Grizzlies.This is really a sad thing, 47-10, the Grizzlies continued to widen the gap with the Lakers.
