Chapter 254 Breaking the Balance
Cut the meat with a blunt knife, which is the intention of the "Zen Master". The Lakers' attack is not fast because of his sign on the sidelines, but it is accurate enough. Just like the passing cut just now, from the start of Smash Parker after serving on the bottom line, until Odom catches the ball on the inside line, and the little hook half turned around. Points.
This process is exactly like a gear running. Every transmission and cut is tightly seamed, one buckled and one continuous. As long as a gap is torn open, a scoring opportunity can be created.
The most important thing is that the Lakers have grasped the shooting opportunities brought by the pull in the previous six attacks. The 100% shooting rate not only seems to be a stingle, but also makes the Celtics' defense very passive.
It's not that the Celtics haven't encountered such a method of playing that pays attention to success rate. They just drag their speed and grind hard with themselves, which is simply more tormenting than the Pistons' guys, and the hit rate is obviously higher.
The Pistons take defense as the foundation of their lives, so they will take the initiative to reduce the speed and then start to play the success rate with you. They don't want to win every attack, but they will definitely take the initiative to destroy your rhythm.
Those Detroiters take the initiative to destroy your attack with defense, but the Lakers are different. Their defense is far less fierce than that of the Pistons. They just play more carefully and patiently when preparing to attack.
The Lakers have never been a team that lives on defense. From the showtime of Pat Riley's era to the OK combination of O'Neal and Kobe, offense is always the first choice for these guys.
Los Angeles people like to watch Lakers games, which is also for this reason. As Auerbach said, those guys are talking about attacking takeaway tickets. How can they not delve into this thing?
Therefore, no matter when, even the Lakers are at the bottom, their attack has never become rough, especially after the "Zen Master" coached, the aggression in the bones has continued.
Phil Jackson's team is definitely not the strongest defensive team. Since the era of the Bulls, he has only emphasized putting as much pressure on his opponent as possible on the defensive end, rather than relying on defense to push the opponent down.
Attack and defense, the team of "Zen Master" requires integrity. Even when there is an alternative player like Rodman in the team, the integrity of consistent attack and defense has never been destroyed.
Now the Lakers are in a period of weakness. Their personnel collocation and ability are far less powerful than in their heyday, but the tactical idea of "Zen master" has long been rooted in their minds.
Anyway, Phil Jackson has been in Los Angeles for several years. Of course, in addition to being the head coach, this guy has not forgotten to pick up the boss's daughter, but the system he created has indeed taken root here.
Even if this guy has left in the middle, when he comes back, he will also put out the set of bad tactics. However, it turns out that the ordinary triangular attack is effective here.
There are countless opponents who have carefully thought about Phil Jackson's signature tactics. After all, this old guy has won nine championships, and ordinary people always have to study him and his team.
But after more than ten years, after the analysis and research of countless people, it can be said that this set of tactics and Phil Jackson's various habits are almost clear, but this guy is still winning the game.
Let so many people think about it. Even Goldbach's conjecture should be cracked. The triangle attack has long been dismembered, but this thing can play an effect in the hands of the "Zen master". On this point, you can't accept it or not. What you can understand may not really be stopped. .
In fact, Rivers is in this situation now. He can understand what his opponent wants to do, but when he wants to stop him, he always has a very awkward feeling in it, that is, so that you can see it and can't prevent it.
It's not how sharp the Lakers' attack is, but when these guys turn to pass the ball, the running position and the time of holding the ball are just right, and they catch up with the opponent's hand.
The Lakers' attack was not difficult to deconstruct. Smash Parker controlled the ball over the midfield, and then quickly handed it to Kobe, who was wandering near the top of the arc. After holding the ball, Kobe, either broke through or attracted the bag. When there was a loophole on the Celtics, he immediately transferred it to Bynum in the high position, in the middle. This point moves, and the other points also follow. Often in this combination of internal and external passing and cutting cooperation, the offensive opportunity can be hit. Odom hit three balls in a row because he found a defensive gap in the process of passing.
The Lakers' tactics are not complicated, and it can even be said that they can be understood at a glance, but tactics always need to be executed by players. Whether your players can do it or not can be known by looking at their execution ability.
Although most of the Lakers' players now come after dispersion and reconstruction, the ability of "Zen Master" to knead players is very strong. As long as it is suitable for triangle attack, he can integrate it for you.
Of course, the most important thing is that the "Zen Master" has a good card in his hand. The one after Smash Parker passes the ball is the key for the Lakers to completely disrupt the Celtics' defensive level.
Kobe Bryant, an absolute killer who can score 81 points in a game, can always exert a strong pressure on the other party when he holds the ball. Whether you are defending or not, there is this kind of pressure that continues to affect you around you. Just now, Sprevi can obviously feel very much against Kobe. It's hard.
Sprevi, who had been on the side after the pause, crossed his waist and didn't say anything for a long time. His fierce face was expressionless. At the beginning, this guy was also an old man who relied on defense in the league. If it hadn't been for him and Houston, the Knicks' Black Eight Miracle might have been useless, and his defense was The key point is that in the focus of the swingers of the front guard, Sprewell rarely suffers this very suffering loss.
Previous games have also proved this point. Generally, shooting defenders or small forwards, whose physique is slightly worse, don't want to break through Sprewell's entanglement. Guys like Hamilton's Shenxing Taibao are all stared at by him. Even those who are fast are often tortured by his card position. Die.
This is an instinct. Although Sprewell is 36 years old, he is old on the defensive end and can still eat many opponents in the same position. It is not easy for ordinary people to take advantage of him.
It's just that the guy that Sprewell is dealing with now is not an ordinary person. In the last three minutes, in the one-on-one defense, Sprewell, who has rarely suffered losses, was also eaten by Kobe four or five times.
This is really not that Prewell is not desperate, but the opponent's cutting speed and ball control rhythm are really the highest level in the NBA, and Kobe is in the year of playing, how can it be so easy to be prevented?
The Lakers can still stay in the top eight in the West. It is entirely because the team has such an unsolved offensive weapon. Most people know that if they want to win the Lakers, they must prevent Kobe, but if they want to nail Kobe, I don't know how many head coaches have the expectations, but few people do this now. Point.
Last year, the Suns were able to be played 3:1 by the Lakers, that is, because there was nothing they could do about Kobe Bryant. The average score of 30+ per game was completely a big killer. A little strength from the teammates around them could create a big trouble for their opponents. Later, they were reversed by their opponents, and it was also because of Bell, a stingy family. It's tough.
It's really not that Sprewell doesn't play with his life. It's just that he wants to catch Kobe's first step. It's really difficult for the top striker swinger who is very fast and his physical condition is at the peak. If he is about ten years younger, he may be able to give his opponent a try. His point is broken, and the whole defense system is loosening. Move.
Sprewell, who was standing on the sidelines, had been bored. The three-minute game could not make him feel tired, an old man with good physical fitness. It was just that he was really a little annoyed by Kobe Bryant.
This is not a matter of facelessness. He was pressed by his opponent. The triangle attack of the Lakers can be unscrupulous. The most important thing is that the breakthrough has always been placed with him, which really makes him feel a little angry. The successful attacks just now are all because Kobe tore the gap from himself. Mouth.
That guy didn't become a terminator after the breakthrough, but after disturbing the defense line, you can't make up for it. Unless you naively think that Kobe won't shoot, you have to defend against anyone.
There are loopholes in the defense and clip. This is an obvious problem, especially when the other party pulls the formation open, this loophole will be more likely to highlight. Now even if Kobe is still shot, he can pass it out when it's time to pass the ball. What's more, with such an obvious opportunity, even if his assists can't be straight. Picking through the Celtics' defense can also disrupt the rotation of the whole defense. Bynum or Odom can have enough opportunities to hold the ball against the basket. The three consecutive shots just now are a good proof.
Such a tactic seems simple, but it has enough lethality. The three minutes just now are a clear proof. As long as you can't keep an eye on this guy, the Lakers' attack can play quite smoothly.
Even if the Lakers can't keep the 100% shooting rate just now, they can make the Celtics quite uncomfortable, at least making them feel confused.
Now it's not only Sprewell who feels a little annoyed. When Rivers watches the development of the situation on the field, he is also very angry, because the "Zen Master" doesn't play anything complicated with him, but simply uses the players' passing and running positions to advance to let him The team played very awkwardly, and even at a disadvantage on the scene, which is very different from the previous game played by the Celtics, and it always feels very awkward.
Before the start of the game, Rivers had a premonition that the game was not easy to play, but he didn't expect that it would be such an unfavorable start. The opponent played very simple but very effective.
If he is beaten like this, waiting for the Celtics is likely to be the first defeat after six consecutive wins. Rivers is not afraid of the team's loss, but if he loses so much, he must be unwilling. What's more, the Lakers are just the eighth place in the West now. In addition, they are still a dead pair. Head.
"If it is so hard to play with the eighth place in the West, do we still expect to reach the finals in the future? Isn't that waiting to be cleaned up? Spurs, Mavericks, these teams are obviously more difficult to deal with than the Lakers. Do we wait to surrender when we meet them? So what's the point of our entry into the playoffs?
Rivers didn't plan to bow his head and admit defeat like this. The bandits around him also had the same idea.
Especially listening to the wild shouts of those Lakers fans, Rivers patted the tactical board in his hand fiercely. He didn't care whose territory it was and wanted to hold the Celtics? Dream about you!
"From now on, don't care about the damn score. If you keep thinking about those problems, you will never play well in this game. Remember my words. How they like to play is their business. What we have to do is to play our own. Don't care what the other party is doing! Can't prevent it! Just attack me!"
This is not Rivers's recklessness, but he knows that a triangular attack that has been used by the "Zen master" for many years can't be cracked by him casually. Even if you know what the other party is going to do, you may not be able to execute it in place. Instead of struggling with this, it's better to risk the other party. Fierce.
Just like when you know that Joe Gang's main kills, you can't be sealed no matter how you are. Anyway, you may not be able to crack the other party's triangular attack now. If you can't cool down the other party's feel, it's better to let it go.
Anyway, your Lakers also play their own. If you slow down, we will fight back. No matter whether this can disturb your rhythm or not, I must let the team play according to their familiar habits, instead of lowering the speed like these Los Angeles people, and then be beaten little by little in the opponent's tactics. Die.
There is really no awe-inspiring and fierce feeling when a soft knife stab people, but Rivers also knows that if he is stabbed by his opponent, even if he is not dead, he can be skinned by the other party, which is more uncomfortable than death.
He had to follow the rhythm of the other party. In the end, he must be the Celtics who fell down. In the last three minutes, he passively let the "Zen master" lead his nose for a long time. Now he doesn't want to continue this situation.
"I don't care what you use. Anyway, the other party's basket is the only target! Hit those bastards down hard! If they can maintain a 100% hit rate all the time, we will be unlucky! If they don't have God's help, give me this damn city of angels!"
This is not that Rivers is going to make these guys crazy, but he knows that he will continue to grind with the Lakers so slowly. Both these players and themselves will be played to death by the "Zen master".
Since the old guy's triangle attack keeps the Lakers with the most stable sense of balance, what the Celtics can do now is to smash this damn balance!
Anyway, this is your territory. Bostonians won't be good guests...
