The rise of basketball legends

Chen Yan celebrated with a punch with his right hand. He played the ball very hard, so hard that he lost his temper.

After Garnett was forced, he could only walk to the bottom line to serve in silence, and complained a few words about how Camby let Chen Yan rush in so easily.

Fisher had the ball in half court, and the Lakers continued to play the triangle offense.

This time the low post was replaced by Garnett. The treatment of Garnett's low post and Camby's low post is obviously different. He came up as soon as he caught the ball and double-teamed, very decisive.

Nash and Diaw flanked Garnett together, putting enough pressure on him.

The Suns adopted the strategy of using the bottom line defender to pinch Garnett and release the long-end shooter.

The Lakers will not allow the Suns to attack Garnett unscrupulously.

At the moment when the flanking attack was formed, Camby penetrated into the hinterland of the weakly defended inside line, while Fisher ran along the bottom line to the opposite corner.

Garnett made a half turn and transferred the ball to Fisher in the opposite corner in a wide range. Garnett has this passing skill, and his coping ability is one of the best among active power forwards in the league.

Fisher got an absolute chance and shot a sniper under the watchful eyes of the home fans.

"Bang!"

The basketball draws a high parabola and bounces out of the frame. Fisher's state has not yet opened up, and he has not grasped this kind of opportunity ball that he is best at.

This booming sound is the rallying call of the sun.

Azubuike and Chen Yan sped up and ran forward without looking back, while Nash advanced with the ball from the left.

The Suns played 3 and 2 in the frontcourt.

Nash took a step inside the three-point line to find Chen Yan, and Chen Yan took a step forward. Just as Chen Yan took the second step, a black shadow passed Kobe's side!

Azubuike accelerated and rushed to the basket!

At the same time, Chen Yan sent his right hand towards Azubuike.

Kobe's attention was distracted, and in the next moment, Chen Yan glided with his left hand and hit the basket!

On the fake fax!

Kobe's center of gravity had already shifted, and he could only watch Chen Yan put himself on the ball from the front.

8:6.

"The Suns played their best three-line fast break. For the fans, this is definitely the most pleasing offense." Mike Breen laughed in the commentary.

"The Lakers must pay attention to retreating. In addition, they should play more inside to ensure the success rate. Even if they miss a goal, they will not bounce too far, so that the Suns can counterattack more quickly." Van Gundy on the side gave professional insights.

When he was a coach, this bald man was more rigid than anyone else, but when he was a commentator, he was in a routine. This is probably the so-called "obsessed by the authorities and clear by the bystanders".

The Lakers attacked, Garnett dropped low to ask for the ball, the Suns continued to double-team, and the double-team went up before Garnett turned around, not giving him a chance to make a shot.

Garnett was forced to play the ball and passed it to Kobe, who was cutting inward along the center line. Kobe's intention to kill inward was obvious. Chen Yan judged Kobe's intentions correctly, let go of Wharton and followed Kobe, taking advantage of Kobe's laying down the ball. In an instant, Chen Yan stabbed the basketball away from behind.

After Jordan quickly got the ball, he threw it forward, and the Suns made another fast break on the third line!

Chen Yan rushed to the front without the ball, Kobe accelerated and stuck behind Chen Yan, but Chen Yan was just a cover in this round of fast break, Nash and Azubuike came to a connection, the latter caught the ball and dunked successfully .

10:6.

The transition speed of Nash + Chen Yan + Azubuike is too fast, and the counterattack is almost unstoppable.

Kobe slapped the basketball again, upset by the loss just now.

Sure enough, the Lakers abandoned tactics in the next offensive round and directly handed the ball to Kobe for singles.

Azubuike quickly entangled Kobe. Unlike Kobe, Azubuike is not the core of his team's offense. He can interfere with Kobe at all costs.

The reason why Azubuike is desperate is very simple. He played as the sixth man most of the time this season. He finally got this opportunity to start. How could he not cherish it?

Kobe went to the right after his crotch, he did not choose to break through the frame, and when he was pressed near the elbow area, he began to play singles with his back.

Kobe is also a well-known heavy guard in the league. Azubuike quickly felt the strength of his confrontation. Kobe's post-up skills are at the historical level. Among the outside players, he couldn't be better than Jordan. When he felt Azubuike The moment Zubuk exerted his strength to fight against himself, he immediately turned left and stepped near the free throw line.

Azubuike sees Bryant make the shot and jumps hastily, but Bryant puts the ball down immediately after making the shot, just feinting.

Then he slammed into Azubuike with his whole body, and Kobe wanted to play 2+1.

Azubuike was already jumping in the air at this time, unable to dodge, seeing Kobe who was gradually approaching him, he just kept doing nothing, pouted his butt on one side of his body, and directly stuck to Kobe's face.

Kobe was stunned, and the ball was not thrown.

The referee blew the whistle and called Azu a foul. For Azu, the ball was not bad. Anyway, he was definitely fouled by Kobe, as long as he didn't give him a chance to play 2+1.

In the commentary booth, Mike Breen and the always serious Van Gundy were all happy.

Chen Yan also had a happy face. Speaking of which, Azubuike’s foul inspiration was still inspired by Chen Yan. Chen Yan told him that if he wanted to foul Kobe, he should be more ruthless and not give him a 2+1 chance. , but Chen Yan did not expect that Azubuike would use this method to prevent Kobe from making a move.

Everyone laughed happily when they saw the replay. Only Kobe walked to the free throw line in a rage. Fortunately, Ao Pang didn't retire during this period, otherwise this ball would definitely be a big embarrassment.

Kobe made two free throws, 10-8.

Diaw serves from the bottom line, Nash dribbles to a 60-degree angle to the left of the three-point line, calls a pick-and-roll and Nash goes to the right, the quality of the pick-and-roll is not high, the Lakers did not switch defenses, Nash pulls back and calls a pick-and-roll, Azu Booker hurried to the top of the arc to make a wall for him.

After the dislocation, Nash forced Walton, and Walton's lateral movement speed was not much better than Fisher's. In order to prevent Nash from stepping past him, he took a step ahead of time and retreated to the free throw line. Shoot directly on horseback and archery.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp net-swiping sound.

12:8.

The basics of the Suns lie in Chen Yan's one-on-one play and Nash's high-quality pick-and-roll. Now it seems that the Lakers have no restrictions at the beginning.

Phil Jackson requested a timeout, and Van Gundy analyzed: "Phil Jackson seldom calls a timeout so quickly. It seems that he is very dissatisfied with the Lakers' defense at the beginning of the day."

Mike Breen nodded and said: "That's right, the Suns almost never missed shots at the beginning, and all the offenses were initiated from the outside and ended on the outside. It seems that the Lakers have to adjust their lineup."

"The Lakers have no problem with offense, but the defensive shortcomings of this lineup are too obvious. Fisher's lateral movement speed is too slow and will become a breakthrough in the lineup. Walton has a high ball quotient and can play in the offense in the triangle. Due to his own characteristics, but he is very similar to Fisher, both of them have slow lateral movement speed, which makes him unable to keep up with the 2nd and 3rd positions, and suffers from the strength of the 4th position, too slow. Two defensive ends of the Lakers who are present at the same time It must be full of loopholes. Phil Jackson let the two start at the same time to make the Lakers more smooth on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he wanted to use Garnett + Camby as a pair of inside gates to limit the Suns, but obviously he underestimated Chen. And the firepower of Nash's outside offensive combination." Van Gundy said mercilessly.

Back from the timeout, Phil Jackson really chose to make a substitution. He replaced Walton with James Posey. Posey can defend both the 2nd and 3rd positions. This substitution has greatly improved the Lakers' defensive strength. The point guard On the one hand, "Old Fish" Fisher continues to stay on the court. The Lakers have no better choice. Although "Old Fish" has a lot of problems, he is the most reliable No. 1 position for the Lakers. He can handle more than half of the ball steadily. The field can also be competent for the work of the perimeter turret.

The Lakers sent Radmanovich for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown in the middle of the season. Besides, he has no other similarities with Bird. As for Shannon Brown, he is just a stunned young man. He is best at holding the ball and rushing in, which is not suitable for point guards at all.

As for another point guard of the Lakers, Sun Dasheng, he is like a mascot. As long as the other Lakers guards have a leg, "Zen Master" will not replace him in regular time.
