As the Lakers ensure their offensive touch, it becomes more difficult for the Suns to counterattack. As long as they are not allowed to complete their best 7-second attack and drag them into the quagmire of positional warfare, they can always increase their chances of winning!
When the Suns attacked, Joe Johnson and Stoudemire missed a pull-up jump shot after a pick-and-roll, and Odom protected the rebound. At this time, Stoudemire had some problems with his mentality, and he directly expressed his hatred for Joe Johnson in words on the court.

dissatisfaction.

Stoudemire, who was full of resentment, was not in place on the defensive end, and was fouled by Anderson, and then continued to express his dissatisfaction to Joe Johnson. This time, Joe Johnson, who had always been relatively calm, became anxious and directly appeared on the scene.

I "sprayed" it back.

Internal strife between teammates is not uncommon in the NBA. Nash and other teammates immediately stopped Stoudemire's behavior and signaled to D'Antoni, who immediately called a timeout to mediate the conflict within the team.

.

If it were normal, D'Antoni would definitely replace one of them. However, the Lakers are chasing very closely and have a strong sense of pressure. D'Antoni has no room for error.

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

Nash led the half, and Joe Johnson got rid of the ball without the ball on the right side. He turned around and faced the frame to get the ball. He broke through in the middle and attracted a change of defense inside. He jumped up from the edge of the penalty area and passed the ball with his right hand to the horse who was driving to the basket.

Lyon.

Marion took the ball and stepped up, but Butler didn't stop the foul. The ball went in and the referee blew the whistle 2 1. (68:65)

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe beat Marion in isolation, turned around and cut to the basket for a jumper, but was interfered by Stoudemire and missed.

Big Q picked up the basketball and passed it to Nash immediately, forming a 2-on-2 frontcourt. Nash did not pass the ball to Joe Johnson at the first time. Facing Atkins, he suddenly made a three-pointer from the right side. His shot was very sudden. Atkins

Jins didn't react, he just stretched out his hand to slightly interfere.

"Shua!"(71:65)

When Lakers fans were still wondering whether the internal conflicts in the Suns would give the Lakers a chance, the Suns quickly scored 6 points in a row and once again took the lead.

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

Odom moved to the top of the key, and Butler suddenly made an air cut on the right side. He drove away from the big Q and then cut to the basket for a throw. His shooting action was quite weird. His right arm was raised very high when throwing. Stoudemire added

The defense was not blocked, but the force was a little too strong and it missed.

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

In the Suns' offense, Nash and Stoudemire's classic high pick-and-roll reappeared. Nash's distribution was just right. Stoudemire received the ball and directly pulled the green onions from the dry land. He didn't even give Anderson a chance to jump to block the shot and smashed the ball hard.

Into the basket.(73:67)

Odom held the ball in the high post and pulled Big Q out of the penalty area. Butler cut to the right, received Odom's pass 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 couldn't prevent the Lakers' wing singles. In today's game, the Lakers' three forces were exhausted, and they no longer planned to save energy for the back-to-back game against the Rockets the next day.

No matter what, we 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 his

The core concepts of run-and-gun tactics are: pick-and-roll tactics, core point guard, and team offense. Therefore, his success also relies on the super point guard to do the work of allocating resources, and the responsibilities within the entire team are extremely clear.

Ke Yan does not have a top-notch point guard, but he has an excellent wing attack group and Odom, a left-handed magician. Therefore, the core concept of his run-and-gun tactics is: multi-core drive, capable people will be in charge, and whoever has the better touch will go.

, others tried their best to create opportunities for him. Odom at the power forward position was a key piece for him. He made the first push after grabbing the rebound, distributed the ball, and pulled to the free throw line in the position battle.

The ability to hand off the ball, or even pull outside the three-point line to empty the opponent's inside line, is a crucial part of Ke Yan's system.

The bigger difference between the two men is on the defensive end. Compared with Ke Yan, D'Antoni does not pay attention to defense. He will not make substitutions when the opponent's offense starts. His adjustments are limited to when the opponent's inside attacker explodes and Marion pulls the ball.

Back to defend the inside line, the opponent scored several three-pointers from the outside line, and Marion pulled out to defend the outside line. It doesn't matter if we can't guard it, we can just go back to the offensive end!

Towards the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was still increasing sharply. The battle was 96:94, and the suspense remained 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 did a better job in arranging player rotation. Only Kobe played longer, and the others played less time."

Within 30 minutes, the Suns rely more on their main players, especially Nash. The beginning of the fourth quarter should be the key to the Lakers' strength. Whether the Suns' substitute players can withstand this wave is critical."<

/p>

Ke Yan has always been unruly in employing people. D'Antoni, who has been with him for half a season, also knows this well. In order to prevent Ke Yan from making another "blitz" raid, D'Antoni kept Joe Johnson, Big Q, and Stoudemire.

On the court, paired with backup point guard Barbosa and forward Outlaw.

Barbosa is a backup offensive point guard. Nicknamed the "Brazilian Lightning," he has full speed, but he is limited to straight-line speed, is not flexible enough in changes of direction, and lacks passing vision and skills. The Suns' lineup,

The main organizer is Joe Johnson, but he is essentially an attacker whose offensive desire is greater than his organizational ability, and he is especially not good at providing Stoudemire with the ball.

The Lakers, who used a small lineup, perfectly blocked several scoring points of the Suns. Barnes faced Outlaw, which did not give the "singles king" substitute many opportunities, and there was no ammunition supply from the outside.

, Stoudemire's firepower was limited, and the Suns could only rely on Joe Johnson's piecemeal play against Butler to score points, and their scoring efficiency plummeted.

D'Antoni's system lacks a super point guard, and "run and gun" will turn into "random bombing." Even if D'Antoni made certain countermeasures, after a wave of 11:4 attacks, the Lakers still took the lead.

After knowing the score, D'Antoni called a timeout and did not adjust the lineup, but just rearranged the tactics.

After returning from the timeout, the Suns attacked. Joe Johnson passed the ball to Stoudemire who was pulling to the free throw line. Facing Anderson's defense, Stoudemire started the "Bull Crash" and pushed the opponent, then turned around and passed

A man leaps up and dunks with both hands. 102:105.

In the 2003 season, the team did not have Nash, but Stoudemire still beat Yao Ming and won the Rookie of the Year. There is nothing to question about his ability to play in singles, but it will be more tiring to play like this.

When the Lakers attacked, House passed the ball to Butler for a single. Facing Joe Johnson, the latter forced his way into the basket and missed a layup. Stoudemire grabbed the rebound. The Lakers returned to defense at full speed immediately and did not give up.

Opportunity for the Suns to launch a fast break.

In the absence of Nash, the Suns do not have a good setter, and it is not easy to quickly hit the ball to dangerous positions.

Falling into a positional battle, Ke Yan whistled on the sidelines. The Lakers changed their defensive strategy. Barnes and Butler flanked Joe Johnson, revealing Outlaw behind him. Joe Johnson decisively distributed the ball. Outlaw held the ball and faced him.

In defense against Finley, he ignored Big Q's request for the ball and made a pull-up jumper after a tentative step. Hit the iron!

This person has similar physical conditions to Rashard Lewis, but his playing style is extremely similar to Nick Young. There is no such thing as a passing key. He once made a famous saying: "Wherever I take off, there is a gap!" Ke Yan also said

It is precisely because of his "one-man press" attribute that targeted double-teaming arrangements were made. As long as the ball reaches Outlaw's hands, the Suns' passing ball will definitely come to a halt.

Ke Yan took advantage of his half-year tenure with the Suns and "knowing himself and the enemy" to constantly plot against the Suns. When the Suns' main lineup returned, he still held on to the 2-point lead until the last 2 minutes of the game! (121:119

)

Ke Yan made personnel adjustments and replaced Butler with Finley to further expand the formation: "During the attack, the position was opened, and the ball was given to Kobe for singles. Kobe attracted double-team passes, and the bottom line players paid attention to cutting to the basket.

On the defensive end, man-to-man marking is required, and defense changes must be timely. Don’t give anyone an easy chance to take action, and ensure there is someone in front of you to interfere.”

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

Marion was unable to defend himself, but Kobe reversed and changed direction, taking Marion's center of gravity. When the opponent gave up a space, he suddenly pulled back, then moved back, and then tore the Suns apart.

defense.

Marion shouted and immediately chased after him.

A body blocking Marion's side mercilessly was Odom.

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

Odom, who had just set a pick-and-roll for Kobe, turned around and quickly penetrated into the paint, forming a 45-degree angle with Kobe.

Kobe burst in. Stoudemire, who was stuck in the middle of the penalty area, hesitated for half a second and gave up his defensive position to cover. Odom received Kobe's pass and threw the ball directly into the air without stopping.
The birdman flying in the sky easily caught the ball and poured it steadily into the basket! (123:119)

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

"Kobe Bryant's statistics did not improve with this ball, but his personal offensive threat is the basis for scoring. It's really amazing!" Unknowingly, Zhang Lili has gradually become "Brian Special".

Stoudemire moved to the middle and played a pick-and-roll with Nash. Nash broke through from the right, Anderson switched defenses, Nash split the ball in the middle, and Kobe Bryant defended Stoudemire without giving up an inch.

Stoudemire used his body to fight hard and cut inside, causing Kobe to foul!

"The foul on this ball is very reasonable. Let Stoudemire dunk, and the Suns may be on the rise. I would rather commit a foul and bet on the opponent's free throw, and maybe not score." Zhang Liang continued to praise Kobe.

Stoudemire's approach to fouling was very wise, but at the critical moment, the free throw was missed. He made one of two free throws. Odom took off the rebound and did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, he slowed down the pace and engaged in positional warfare. (123:120)
He advanced to the frontcourt, Odom organized in the middle, protected the ball and waited for his teammates to move, and distributed it to Finley on the right side who got half an open space by adjusting his movement without the ball, instead of Kobe, who was tightly guarded by the Suns.
This was a key pass. At the critical moment, Odom did not stick to Ke Yan's decision to hand the ball to Kobe, but handed it to Finley.

Finley was very well prepared. He caught the ball and made a jump shot. Joe Johnson behind him rushed at him desperately, but to no avail. The ball had a good arc and hit the net hollowly. (126:120)

When the basketball fell into the basket, Ke Yan excitedly celebrated with a fist pump. With one minute and twenty seconds of game time and a 6-point gap, the Lakers had a huge advantage!

D'Antoni requested a timeout, and the entire Lakers team walked off the court excitedly. Butler, who got up from the bench, jumped up and bumped chests with Finley in celebration.

"OK, guys, the game isn't over yet, and we haven't celebrated yet." Ke Yan pulled everyone out of their joy and reminded them.

McGrady was possessed by God and scored 10 points from Pierce in 35 seconds... He scored 13 points from the Spurs not long ago. At this time, no one wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Spurs, let alone seeing that the team had the hope of winning and ranking first in the league.

If a strong team fails at the last minute, the players will feel sorry for their efforts throughout the game.

With a 6-point lead, the team had a certain margin for error. Ke Yan adjusted the team's defense. First, he wanted to prevent the Suns from easily scoring two quick points. Secondly, he had to guard against the Suns' outside long shots. Finally, after guarding against the pick-and-roll, if

If you can't keep up with the opponent's passing rhythm, the end point of the defensive rotation is Marion, and you can let Marion take mid-to-long-range shots!

His defensive strategy really worked. The Suns players kept picking and rolling, and the Lakers players switched defenses very quickly and would not lose their position. It took 20 seconds, and finally Marion found an opportunity for Marion to take a mid-range shot from the bottom line, unguarded.

Next, Marion's little floater hit the neck of the basket.

Stoudemire failed to grab the offensive rebound. Anderson moved the ball out of the penalty area with one hand. Finley picked up the rebound and passed it to Kobe.

Kobe dribbled the ball past half court, stopped fast breaking, and controlled the rhythm.

The attack time ran out with only 10 seconds left. Kobe broke through the Suns' defense, attracted Marion and Big Q to attack, and then made no mistakes. He passed to Finley in the right corner. Finley failed to hit the shot, but this time the attack

Played for 22 seconds.

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

"Penalty shootout" reappears!

Marion made two free throws, and the Suns were still 4 points behind with 36 seconds left. If there were no fouls, the Lakers would have played out 24 seconds. Even if they didn't score, the Suns would only have 12 seconds to secure victory.

Siluke

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

In this bet, Ke Yan is the banker and almost guaranteed to win!

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

At the critical moment, Kobe and Finley lived up to Ke Yan's newcomers, stepping to the free throw line 4 times and hitting all of them! Helping the team defeat the league's No. 1 player 130:126!
