Chapter 101 Covering the sky and blocking out the sun (please subscribe, please support)

The Lakers ensure the offensive feel, and the difficulty for the Suns to counterattack increases accordingly.As long as they are not allowed to complete the 7-second attack they are best at, and drag them into the quagmire of positional warfare, it will increase their chances of winning!

The Suns attacked, Joe Johnson and Stoudemire missed a jumper after a pick-and-roll, and Odom protected the rebound.This time, Stoudemire had some problems with his mentality, and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Joe Johnson on the court.

Stoudemire, who was full of resentment, was not in place on the defensive end, and Anderson, who was slid down, made a foul, and then continued to express his dissatisfaction to Joe Johnson.This time, Joe Johnson, who had always been calm, became anxious and "sprayed" back on the court.

Infighting among teammates is not uncommon in the NBA. Nash and other teammates immediately stopped Stoudemire's behavior and signaled to D'Antoni. D'Antoni then called a timeout to mediate this conflict within the team. .

If it is normal, D'Antoni will definitely replace one of them.However, the Lakers are chasing very tightly and have a strong sense of oppression. D'Antoni has no fault tolerance.

Anderson made two free throws to help the team tie the score. (65:65)

Nash led the half court, Joe Johnson got rid of the ball without the ball on the right, turned around and took the ball, broke through the center, attracted the inside to change defenses, jumped up from the edge of the penalty area, and passed his right hand to the horse at the basket from close range lyon.

Marion took the ball and forced it, but Butler didn't stop the foul. The ball scored and the referee whistled 2+1. (68:65)

The Lakers attacked, Kobe singled Marion, turned around and cut into the basket for a jumper, which was missed by Stoudemire.

The big Q picked up the basketball and passed it to Nash immediately, forming a 2-on-2 frontcourt. Nash did not pass Joe Johnson at the first time, facing Atkins, he suddenly made a three-pointer on the right side. He shot very suddenly, Art Jins didn't react, he just reached out and interfered slightly.

"Swish!" (71:65)

When the Lakers fans were still thinking about whether the internal contradictions of the Suns would give the Lakers a chance, the Suns quickly scored 6 points in a row and once again gained the lead in the score.

Against an opponent like the Suns, even if you only have 1 minute to relax, they can make you pay the price!

Odom pulls to the top of the arc, but Butler suddenly makes an air cut on the right side, and then cuts to the basket for a throw. The defense was not covered, but the power was a little bit bigger and it missed.

Anderson grabbed an offensive rebound and scored in the second offense. (71:67)

Suns attack, Nash and Stoudemire's high pick-and-roll classic reappeared, Nash scored the ball just right, Stoudemire caught the ball, pulled the onion directly on the dry land, and dunked the ball hard without even giving Anderson a chance to take off and block the block into the basket. (73:67)

Odom held the ball in a high position and pulled the big Q out of the penalty area. Butler made an air cut on the right side, received a pass from Odom while moving, and made a three-step layup. (73:69)

The Lakers couldn't stop Nash and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, and the Suns also couldn't stop the Lakers' singles on the flanks. In today's game, the Lakers used their lives and didn't plan to save their energy for the back-to-back game against the Rockets the next day. In any case, you have to fight the Suns.

The battle between the two coaches is also particularly exciting. Both of them are advocates of small ball tactics, but driven by the core concept of "small ball", there are still differences.D'Antoni has Nash, so the core concepts of his running and bombing tactics are: pick-and-roll tactics, point guard core, and team offense.Therefore, his success also depends on the super point guard to do the work of allocating resources, and the responsibilities of the entire team are extremely clear.

Ke Yan does not have a first-class point guard, but he has an excellent flank attack group, and Odom, a left-handed magician, so the core concept of his running and bombing tactics is: multi-core drive, those who have the ability to live, whoever feels good will win , others tried their best to create opportunities for him. Odom at the power forward position is a key piece for him. The ability to pass hands, or even pull beyond the three-point line to evacuate the opponent's inside line, is a vital part of Ke Yan's system.

The bigger difference between the two is on the defensive end. Compared with Ke Yan, D'Antoni doesn't pay much attention to defense. He will not change when the opponent's offense starts. His adjustments are limited to the opponent's inside attacker. When he came back to defend the inside line, the opponent scored a few three-pointers from the outside line, and Marion pulled out to defend the outside line.It doesn't matter if you can't defend, let's go back on the offensive end!

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides was still a sharp increase, and the battle ended at 96:94, and the suspense was kept until the fourth quarter.

Zhang Lili saw the gap between the two sides, and analyzed: "The Lakers are somewhat behind the Suns in terms of strength, but Ke Yan has done a better job in arranging player rotation. Only Kobe played longer, and the others played less. Within 30 minutes. The Suns are more dependent on the main players, especially Nash. The beginning of the fourth quarter should be the key to the Lakers' strength. Whether the Suns' bench players can withstand this wave is the key."

Ke Yan has always employed people who do not follow the rules. D’Antoni, who has been with him for half a season, is also aware of this. In order to prevent Ke Yan from coming to the “blitzkrieg” raid again, D’Antoni kept Joe Johnson, Big Q, and Stoudemire all in On the court, with backup point guard Barbosa and forward Outlaw.

Barbosa is a backup assault point guard. Nicknamed "Brazilian Lightning", his speed is full, but it is limited to straight-line speed. He is not flexible enough to change directions, and his passing vision and skills are not enough.In the lineup of the Suns, the organizer is mainly Joe Johnson, but he is also an attacker with more offensive desire than organizational ability, especially not good at playing for Stoudemire.

The Lakers with a small lineup perfectly pinched the Suns for a few points. Barnes faced Outlaw, and did not give this "single play king" type of substitute too many opportunities. There was no outside ammunition supply. , Stoudemire's firepower is limited, the Suns can only rely on Joe Johnson's piecemeal fight against Butler to score, and the scoring efficiency has plummeted.

D'Antoni's system lacks a super point guard, and "running and bombing" will become "random bombing".Even if D'Antoni made certain countermeasures, the Lakers still overtook the score after a wave of 11:4 attacks. D'Antoni called a timeout, did not adjust the lineup, but rearranged his tactics.

Returning from the timeout, the Suns attacked. Joe Johnson gave the ball to Stoudemire who pulled to the free throw line. Facing Anderson's defense, Stoudemire turned around and passed The man jumped up with one step and dunked with both hands. 102:105.

In the 0203 season, the team did not have Nash, and Stoudemire still beat Yao Ming and won the best rookie.There is nothing to question his face-up singles ability, but it will be more tiring to play like this.

The Lakers attacked, and House passed the ball to Butler for a single. The latter faced Joe Johnson and forcibly squeezed into the basket and missed a layup. Stoudemire grabbed the rebound. Opportunity for the Suns to launch a fast break.

In the absence of Nash, the Suns have no good setters, and it is not so easy to quickly hit the ball to a dangerous position.

Falling into a positional battle, Ke Yan blew his whistle on the sidelines. The Lakers changed their defensive strategy. Barnes and Butler flanked Joe Johnson, revealing Outlaw behind him. Joe Johnson decisively scored the ball. The supplementary defense against Finley ignored the big Q's request for the ball, and after a tentative step, he pulled out a jumper and hit the iron!

This person has a body shape similar to Rashad Lewis, but his playing style is extremely similar to Nick Young. He has no passing key. It is precisely for his "individual force" attribute that a targeted double-team arrangement is made. As long as the ball reaches Outlaw's hands, the Suns' conduction of the ball will definitely stagnate.

Ke Yan used his advantage of "knowing oneself and knowing the enemy" after working in the Suns for half a year to constantly calculate the Suns. When the main lineup of the Suns returned, he still clung to the 2-point lead and entered the last 2 minutes of the game! (121:119)

Ke Yan made personnel adjustments, replacing Butler with Finley, so as to further expand the formation: "When the position is attacked, the ball is given to Kobe for singles. The defensive end is man-to-man, the defense must be switched in time, don't give anyone an easy chance to make a mobile phone, and there must be interference in front of you."

The game started. Kobe caught the ball and observed the situation in the middle. According to the arrangement, the teammates continued to move without the ball to involve the Suns' defensive formation.

Marion defended close to the body with no energy left. Kobe turned around and took Marion's center of gravity. When the opponent gave up a body space, he suddenly pulled back and moved back, and then tore apart the sun's defense.

Marion gave a cry, and immediately ran after him.

A body that stood mercilessly beside Marion was Odom.

On the Suns side, Big Q immediately leaned towards Kobe.

Odom, who had just set up a pick-and-roll for Kobe, turned around at this moment, and quickly slashed into the inside line, forming a straight 45-degree angle with Kobe.

Kobe rushed in, and Stoudemire, who was stuck in the middle of the penalty area, hesitated for half a second, gave up his defensive position and made up for it. Odom received Kobe's pass and threw it directly into the air without stopping the ball.

The birdman flying in the sky easily caught the ball and dunked the ball into the basket steadily! (123:119)

"Beautiful pick-and-roll offense, Kobe and Odom's pick-and-roll dismantled the Suns' defense, and Anderson's scoring came naturally!" Yoga exclaimed.

"This ball Kobe has not improved in terms of statistics, but his personal offensive threat is the basis for scoring. It's really amazing!" Unknowingly, Zhang Lili has gradually "Bryantized".

Stoudemire pulled to the center and played a pick-and-roll with Nash, Nash broke through from the right, Anderson switched defenses, Nash scored the ball in the center, Kobe defended Stoudemire and refused to give an inch.

Stoudemire used his body to force himself to cut in, causing Kobe to foul!

"This foul is very reasonable. If Stoudemire dunks, the Suns may start up. I would rather foul and bet on the opponent's free throws, or not score." Zhang Reasonable continued to brag about Kobe.

Stoudemire made a wise foul, but at the critical moment, the free throw was pulled. Two free throws were made, and Odom took off the rebound. Instead of launching an attack immediately, he slowed down the pace and played positional warfare. (123:120)

Pushing himself to the frontcourt, Odom organized in the middle, protected the ball and other teammates to run, and distributed it to Finley on the right side who got half an open space through the step adjustment without the ball, instead of Kobe, who was strictly guarded by the Suns.

This is a crucial pass. At the critical moment, Odom did not stick to Keyan's decision to hand the ball to Kobe, but handed it to Finley.

Finley was well-prepared. He caught the ball and shot a jumper. Joe Johnson rushed over desperately behind him, but it didn't help. The ball had a good arc and went into the net hollowly. (126:120)

The basketball fell into the basket, and Ke Yan threw his fist excitedly to celebrate. With a game time of 20 minute and 6 seconds and a gap of [-] points, the Lakers have a great advantage!

D'Antoni requested a timeout, and the Lakers walked off the field excitedly. Butler, who got up from the bench, jumped up and bumped his chest with Finley to celebrate.

"OK, guys, the game is not over yet, and we haven't reached the time to celebrate." Ke Yan pulled everyone out of their joy and reminded them.

McGrady was possessed by God and cut Pierce ten in 35 seconds. . . . .It was not long ago that the Spurs scored 13 points. At this time, no one wants to follow in the footsteps of the Spurs, let alone seeing that the team has the hope of winning the league's No. [-] team. If they miss at the last moment, the players feel sorry for themselves field effort.

Leading by 6 points, the team has a certain fault tolerance rate. Ke Yan adjusted the team's defense, first of all, to prevent the Suns from taking quick two-pointers easily, second, to strictly guard against the Suns' outside long-range shots, and finally, after defending the pick-and-roll, if Can't keep up with the rhythm of the opponent's pass, the end point of the defense rotation is Marion, and Marion can be shot from a long distance!

His defensive strategy really worked. The Suns players continued to pick and roll and move positions. The Lakers players switched defenses very quickly without losing their positions. It took 20 seconds for Marion to finally find a mid-range shot from the bottom line. The state was unguarded. Next, Marion's small throw hit the neck of the basket.

Stoudemire failed to grab the offensive rebound, Anderson single-handedly set the ball out of the restricted area, and Finley picked up the rebound and passed it to Kobe.

Kobe dribbled the ball for half court, and he didn't break fast, he controlled the rhythm.

With only 10 seconds left in the attack time, Kobe forced his way through the Suns defense, attracted Marion and Big Q to attack, and did not make any mistakes. The point was given to Finley in the corner on the right. Finley missed a shot, but this time the attack Played for 22 seconds.

Marion grabbed the offensive rebound, but before he could pass the ball, Odom stepped forward and fouled and sent Marion to the free throw line.

"Penalty shootout" reappears in the rivers and lakes!

Marion made two free throws, and the Suns were still 4 points behind with 36 seconds left.If there is no foul, the Lakers play all 24 seconds, even if they don't score, only 12 seconds are left for the Suns, and they are sure of winning.

But if foul tactics are implemented, it will be a free throw shootout. The Lakers have two very reliable free throw shooters, and they are sure to win.

In this gamble, Ke Yan is the banker, almost sure of winning!

D'Antoni had no choice but to follow the banker Ke Yan, hoping that the home fans could better interfere with the Lakers players' free throws.

At the critical moment, Kobe and Finley did not disappoint Keyan's rookie, they stood at the free throw line 4 times and made all of them!Help the team beat the league No. 130 with 126:[-]!
