The Lakers passed the ball to Caron Butler from the sideline. Since there was little attack time left, Butler did not hesitate and turned around to take a shot. He failed to hit, but Mihm successfully moved the ball out of the penalty area. Kobe grabbed the ball.

He immediately turned around to protect the ball and gestured to his teammates to "slow down."

Just when everyone thought the Lakers would reorganize their offense, Kobe took a step outside the three-point line when McGrady relaxed his vigilance, and the ball went straight into the basket.

Through his body language, he successfully "played" his friend. When he returned to defense, Kobe also smiled at McGrady, but McGrady didn't seem angry. It may be because they are both high school rookies and entered the league. In addition,

They are similar in age, and McGrady is really one of the few good friends of Kobe in the league. Kobe even once revealed that he and McGrady had a one-on-one challenge while participating in activities. He easily won, but McGrady responded with "Bullshit~, it's nothing!"

". This joke may also reflect the relationship between the two people. After all, the more familiar people are, the more casual they will say something to each other. However, if someone doesn't really know each other, they will have reservations because they are concerned about the other person's magnanimity. On the contrary,

I don’t make random jokes.

Kobe and Butler team up to attack. The defense McGrady faces is not comparable to Luke Walton and his ilk. Ryan Bowen's scoring ability at the power forward position of the Mosaics is slightly greater than zero, which makes it easier for Cook to free up more players.

With a lot of energy to double-attack McGrady, the Mosaic team immediately fell into difficulty in scoring. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the league's veteran homeless man Mike James scored five points in a row to help the Mosaic team regain blood and help the team maintain the point difference at single digits.

The number has ushered in the return of the main lineup.

Tracy McGrady supported the team for a while. After Yao Ming returned, the team's main offensive point returned to the inside. However, since Juwan Howard could not guarantee the team's defense, Van Gundy replaced Ryan Bowen to partner with Yao Ming. The Lakers

The attack on Yao Ming became even more unscrupulous. Anderson resolutely moved forward to interfere with Yao Ming's ball. Behind him, Odom was responsible for filling in. With the combined efforts of the two, Yao Ming's offensive efficiency was difficult to guarantee, and his physical strength was also rapidly passing away.

One-on-one in the paint, Yao Ming's lethality ranks second to none in the league. But compared to other big killers in the league, Yao Ming is afraid of double-teaming and going around, and his physical strength cannot support the entire audience. This is all to the naked eye.

Visible shortcomings. In addition, Van Gundy only knows how to maximize Yao Ming's lethality and does not pay attention to maintenance. Yao Ming's MVP level in the first quarter, Yao Ming's All-Star level in the second quarter, Yao Ming's high-quality starter level in the third quarter, and Yao Ming's quality starter level in the fourth quarter.

Yao Ming is just an ordinary player.

Anderson, Mihm, and Odom paid the price for a total of 8 fouls. The Lakers still allowed Yao Ming to shoot 8 of 13 shots in the first half and score 21 points, helping the Mosaic team narrow the point difference to

5 points. Even so, during the halftime break, when returning to the locker room, Ke Yan also gave full encouragement to several insiders on the team.

"Yao Ming in the second half couldn't show this kind of power!" Ke Yan emphasized in the locker room.

Tomjanovich also believes that the Mosaic team is now over-reliant on the Yao-Mai combination. McGrady may be able to have the personal ability to produce normal and efficient output, but Yao Ming, in the face of the Lakers' crazy consumption, is difficult to support the efficiency of a whole game.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mosaic team continued to have a position battle with the Lakers. Van Gundy seemed to have only slow-paced position battles in his mind, and did not consider other rhythms or other formations.

The Lakers continued to engage in a war of attrition with the Mosaic team through the tactics of double-teaming forward. However, accidents always happened unexpectedly. First, Odom was distracted and missed Ryan Bowen cleanly, allowing the opponent to counterattack under the basket.

The basket scored an extremely simple goal, and then Anderson was called for his fourth foul while fighting with Yao Ming, and had to be replaced by Mihm.

Yao Ming made two free throws, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

Compared with Anderson, who is more flexible, Mihm is better at carrying people in the low post, and the effect of going around the front defense is not good. The Lakers called a timeout, Ke Yan adjusted the team's strategy of double-teaming Yao Ming, Mihm supported from behind, and Kobe or Butler occasionally

To double-team, in this way, the outside will give the Mosaic team some opportunities from time to time. This is the effect Van Gundy wants to achieve in the game. The deterrent power of the superstar on the offensive end can attract double-teams and help role players get better shooting opportunities.

, achieve higher efficiency.

However, Van Gundy's imagination is very rich, but the reality is very skinny. Yao Ming's offensive skills are indeed very strong, and he is excellent in singles inside, but his coordination ability is average. This has nothing to do with personal offensive skills, but more.

The cultivation of basketball awareness has been lacking since childhood; secondly, on the Lakers side, Kobe, Butler, and Odom have very good athletic ability and mobility. The team's defensive rotation is very good, and the Mosaic team does not

Efficient shooters like Mike Miller and Shane Battier of the Grizzlies did not seize all the opportunities they had.

The lineup was not configured properly, and no tactics could make up for Yao Ming's biggest weakness, physical fitness. The Lakers' exhaustion on the defensive end and the continuous impact on the offensive end made Yao Ming hold his knees and gasp for air halfway through the third quarter, and his physical strength declined.

It is also reflected in the movements and footsteps on the defensive end. Van Gundy is essentially a coach who pays more attention to defense. Therefore, when Yao Ming makes mistakes on the defensive end, it means that he really has no energy left, and the Lakers also consume a lot, but

Kobe and Butler withstood the pressure and opened the point difference to 12 points before the end of the third quarter.

In the last quarter of the game, the Mosaic team also tried to launch a counterattack, but the team's attack points were too concentrated, Yao Ming's physical decline and other unfavorable factors put the team at a real disadvantage in this encounter, and it has been difficult to close the score difference.

Narrow it down to less than 6 minutes.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Mosaics 99:92 in an away game. After three consecutive losses, they won two consecutive victories and returned to the eighth position in the Western Conference.

In the whole game, Kobe performed well, making 13 of 27 shots and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 33 points. Butler contributed 19 points, giving Kobe considerable support on the offensive end.

Of course, for the team to win today, it is also very important for the inside players to compete with Yao Ming on the defensive end. In the first half, Yao Ming scored 21 points on 8 of 13 shots.

Duan made 4 of 11 shots, and even 1 of 5 in the fourth quarter. Although Yao Ming also scored 33 points in the game, his performance in the fourth quarter was really not good.

Zhang Lili, who commented on this game, also mentioned this issue in his post-game comments: "The Lakers are grinding with you today, and exhausting you. When your energy is exhausted, look, the opportunity will come~. Mosaic

The team's lineup is unbalanced. This point was caught and amplified by Ke Yan. A good coach must have this ability. He does not care about temporary gains and losses, but pays more attention to the overall development of a game. Judging from this game

,Ke Yan has the strategic vision that an excellent head coach should possess."

Zhang Lili's "Ke Mi" attribute is not very obvious now, and the Mosaic team is the National Democratic Team, so he still talks more from the perspective of the Mosaic team, and incidentally promotes Ke Yan.

As for the American media, as long as the Lakers win, more and more people will recognize Ke Yan. This is also related to Tomjanovich's recognition of Ke Yan's contribution from time to time. If he was still with the Suns this season, he would not have what he has now.

popularity, most people will only attribute the improvement in record to D'Antoni and Nash.
