Chapter 12 Subtle transformation

(Thanks to the book friend "The Only Sanren" for the 10,000-point reward)

Almost as soon as the on-site commentators were praising the Sonics' smooth offense, the Lakers' counterattack came. Odom served from the baseline immediately and made a precise long pass to the half-court goalkeeper.

In the hands of Kobe Bryant, the latter leaned on Ray Allen to receive the ball, and then leaned on the opponent to advance to the three-point line. He made a beautiful behind-the-back dribble to open up a little distance from Ray Allen, and then used his left hand when the opponent rushed forward.

He completed the breakthrough with the ball, broke through the latter's defense with a butterfly-like fake move, and scored an easy layup. After losing the ball, he immediately looked for offensive opportunities. This is what Ke Yan instilled in these players during pre-season training.

One way of thinking, in addition to Kobe's personal ability to handle the ball in the frontcourt, Odom's passing is also very critical. His talent is actually really good. If he concentrates more on the court and loses his mind less, he will be able to develop his skills.

Two stable offensive methods really have a lot to offer.

In the next round, the Sonics once again used the range of the team's two outside artillery to make a fuss. After Radmanovic and Lewis completed a simple screen, Lewis faked a shot and flew past Grant, and then was stunned.

He suddenly broke into the basket and scored an easy layup.

For most of his career, Lewis has given the impression that he is a forward player with strong shooting ability. Whether it is a three-pointer or a turnaround jumper after a post-up, getting to the basket is really not Lewis's characteristic. But in the final analysis

His physical fitness is here, and when the opponent takes advantage of his shooting ability and exposes obvious space, it is not difficult to complete the score. In the SuperSonics, a team where all members shoot>breakthrough, Lewis is a good player.

It is also necessary for the second boss to improve himself and use other means to score points. During the offseason, he also improved in this regard.

Odom holds the ball in the high post, and Kobe prepares to come up from the bottom corner to catch the ball. Grant acts as a "wall" to help Kobe delay Ray Allen's defense. Ray Allen chooses to follow the defense, and Grant, who is stuck in the position, directly goes down. Odom

Dom pushed the ball directly to Grant, who caught the ball and prepared for a dunk.

Jerome James appeared in time and stopped Grant's offense with a foul.

Grant was able to get a contract with an average salary of 14 million from the Heat, not only because he is a qualified blue-collar worker, but also because he once had a good mid-range shot and was able to seize some easy scoring opportunities. Two free throws.

In the middle, the score difference is still 1 point.

SuperSonics offense, passing from the outside, Ray Allen ran out of the three-point line, received Ridnour's pass, turned to the left and shot the ball 70 degrees.

Kobe once again missed someone on defense. After just one off-ball pick-and-roll, Kobe was thrown away by the SuperSonics. This obviously does not meet his evaluation as a top perimeter defender.

However, every time something happens on the defensive end, Kobe will find his place on the offensive end. When the Lakers attack, Atkins follows the arrangement and passes the ball after half court. The ball is passed to Kobe to challenge Ray Allen. Kobe's right side

He leaned against Ray Allen in the low post, turned around and jumped toward the baseline, pulled the ball with his back against Ray Allen, took the ball with both hands, and scored a cricket goal.

After the opening, the offenses of both sides were carried out vigorously, which made the fans on the sidelines excited to watch. Ke Yan on the sidelines kept recording some content in his notebook, and deep down he was quite satisfied with the team's changes.<

/p>

Except for Kobe, who is keen on singles, other players, including Odom, are subtly accepting some of the concepts that Ke Yan instilled in them. They actively run, use off-ball screens to dismantle the opponent's defense, and handle the ball more quickly.

.The team's offensive routine is obviously more lively, and Kobe should be able to feel it.

However, the main lineup is inextricably close to the SuperSonics, which more or less illustrates some of the team's problems on the defensive end. In this regard, Ke Yan is a little helpless. The real strength of this SuperSonics team is that it can reach the second round of the Western Conference.

The team is much stronger than many people imagined. This will be confirmed after the season starts.

Moreover, Tomjanovich insists on putting Odom in the small forward position. The team's mobility is indeed a hidden danger. Tomjanovich himself is aware of this, but in the current locker room,

It is not suitable to rush into too radical adjustments. This is the middle way to maintain the stability of the locker room.

Both sides performed well on the offensive end. Eight minutes into the first quarter, they each withdrew their main players. The score was 22:19, with the SuperSonics leading by 3 points.

In this era, most NBA teams still have a rotation of 8 to 9 people, and the gap between the strength of players and substitutes is not small. However, the Lakers and SuperSonics may be exceptions. The Lakers have an owner who is not afraid of paying luxury tax.

, when you have the opportunity to own good players, you won’t give them up because of the price. For the SuperSonics, Reggie Evans and Nick Collison seem to have little reputation now, but they will all be able to play a lot in the NBA in the future.

The 2016 veteran still has some characteristics, and in this game, the team’s shining point is undoubtedly Antonio Daniels. After coming on the stage, he first used his off-ball running to get rid of Butler’s defense and hit a three-pointer, and then he hit a three-pointer.

Using pick-and-rolls to find shooting opportunities, Daniels hit a mid-range jumper. Daniels' fiery touch dwarfed Butler, who had high hopes from Ke Yan. After coming on the stage, his offensive feeling was average. He only hit 1 goal in three shots.

"TMD, this supersonic speed is accurate!" Ke Yan complained secretly in his heart.

In fact, the Lakers' defense did not miss many shots, but the Sonics players were able to throw the ball in.

During the break, Tomjanovich chose to put Odom back on the court, pushing him to the power forward position, using his height and mobility to help the team's offense and defense. This is also the change that Ke Yan has always wanted to promote. His

In the tactical concept, "running", "speed" and "space" are all extremely important factors. It is appropriate to place Odom in the fourth position.

After the start of the second quarter, the Lakers suddenly broke out. The tactics were similar to the first quarter. Butler played the role of Kobe's singles player in the first quarter. He could play singles and break through. Compared with Kobe, Butler lacked ability and was more obedient.

There were so many unreasonable shots. Walton, who has a good basketball IQ, helped with the connection work, and Anderson, who had high hopes from the coaching staff, also actively set up barriers for his teammates on the offensive end, while also rushing for offensive rebounds.

It was well done. Under the high-intensity impact of the Lakers, the substitute players on the SuperSonics side couldn't stand it. Even if Lewis came back and beat Walton twice in a row, after Butler switched defense, his offense also failed.

Then I fell into a stagnation.

After a 13:4 attack wave, the Lakers went ahead by 6 points. McMillan quickly called a timeout and rearranged his tactics.

Next to Tomjanovich, Ke Yan pointed at the tactical board and arranged tactics. Odom mentioned going up to the line to catch the ball. Anderson used the bottom line to cover without the ball. Walton and Butler could pass the ball around the screen from the bottom line and shoot.

You can also reverse run and cut to the basket.

The Sonics' two inside men, Evans and Collison, have average athletic ability, so they won't switch defenses very quickly.

The worst result is that if the Sonics can keep up with the Lakers' movement, Odom can also create murderous opportunities through singles. He definitely has this ability.
