Chapter 94 Big gift package? Big salute!

On March 4, the Lakers at home suffered a losing streak. The team lost to the Detroit Pistons in last season's finals 91-104. (38-22)

As the top defensive team in the league, the Spurs have Duncan, a rim-protecting weapon, and Bowen, a stalker from the outside. The defensive strategy adopted is to hold the ball on the flanks and push toward the baselines on both sides, and then pass the ball with the ball in the middle.

It was left to Duncan to make up for it, so Kobe Bryant, McGrady, Ray Allen and even Reid, who were good at shooting, performed well against the Spurs near the free throw line and in the waist positions on both sides, who could withstand Bowen's strong shots.

In the match between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Spurs, who were clearly superior in strength, relied on Duncan to drive unparalleled and forcefully penetrate the Lakers' inside line to win a thrilling victory.

The focus of the Pistons' defensive strategy is to "pressure", to put pressure on the ball carrier; to put pressure on the player without the ball. The former is to block shots, and the latter is to block passes. Prince, Hamilton, Billups and

Hunter (who is actually the Pistons' best perimeter defender) kept pressing, and the double Wallaces filled in inside. This team is good at making mistakes from the opponent and can easily suffocate the opponent's shooting rhythm; it can coordinate the opponent's offense

Paralysis......

The Pistons' defensive strengths almost completely blocked the Lakers' advantage. In this game, the Pistons firmly suppressed Kobe.

Fortunately, I was reminded by Ke Yan yesterday that Kobe didn't have a strong head in this game. He increased his passing when the opportunities were bad. He made 9 of 20 shots in the game and 6 of 7 free throws. He only had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

.

Although they were behind at the end of the game, the Lakers and the Pistons fought back and forth until the end of the game, thanks to Anderson and Butler's outstanding performance in scrambling for offensive rebounds and seizing the second offensive opportunity.

The game was lost, but the scene was not ugly.

The Lakers have lost two of the last three games, and their state has been ups and downs. However, considering that the two games they lost were against the Heat and the Pistons, and even the opponent they won was the Celtics, who are ranked among the top five in the Eastern Conference.

, this result is actually not that bad?

Two losses against a strong team are also an opportunity for the team to cool down. The team performed well some time ago, and the Los Angeles media boasted about the Lakers. To be honest, there were a few games this season that were a bit lucky.

We have to fight hard, but luck cannot be on the Lakers' side every time.

Luck will not always be on the side of the Nets, but at least this season, it should always be on the side of the SuperSonics. The team's record is "only" 39 wins and 21 losses, but it is ranked third in the Western Conference, behind the Western Conference.

The reason why the Mavericks have won 4 games is because of the league’s fucking rules. The champions of the three divisions are ranked among the top three.

However, Ke Yan doesn't like the idea that the outside world is overly belittling the Sonics and even saying that "the teams in the bottom half want to play against the Sonics." It is true that the Sonics have taken advantage of the division and ranked second in the record ratio.

I had a good Mavericks before. But their current record of 39 wins and 21 losses is actually fourth in the Western Conference. Due to emotions and reasons, it should not be regarded as a big gift package.

Mobilizing before the game, Ke Yan also pointed this out in the locker room: "Whether it is in terms of record or the two games this season, we are lagging behind our opponents. I don't want everyone to be disturbed by outside voices, and I don't want you to hold on.

With the idea of ​​'it's better to fall to sixth place'."

The strategy for a season is something that the management and coaching staff should consider, while the players should only consider winning!

The game begins on the court. The Lakers' lineup has not changed much, it is still the same lineup.

SuperSonics: Point guard Ridnour, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Rashard Lewis, power forward Radmanovic and center Jerome James.

In the first round of the offense, Lewis hit a mid-range jumper against Butler's defense. (2:0)

The team's outstanding results this season have given Lewis considerable self-confidence. Once a shooter like him gains confidence, his shots will be more decisive and his touch will be improved.

"Caron has made some progress on the defensive end this season, but when facing such a tall and long-armed shooting player, his defensive effect will be greatly reduced." Monty Williams reminded.

"The Sonics' individual defense capabilities are also relatively average, and they can't solve our offensive strengths."

On the court, the Lakers left it to Kobe to handle several consecutive offensive rounds.

A one-step lateral jump shot, a misplaced pull-up after going around a screen, a sudden stop shot while breaking through.....

Kobe felt good after the opening, making simple and efficient hits one after another, leading the Lakers to a 6:0 run. The SuperSonics did not have the corresponding defensive configuration, and there was nothing they could do against Kobe's personal offense.

Supersonic position battle, Lewis and Radmanovic opened up on the right side.

Ridnour dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Ray Allen, running to the left corner. Ray Allen faced Kobe in the middle and protected the basketball with his back. Ridnour ran back to the left, relying on Jerome James to cover him.

Get rid of Atkins' defense, catch the ball from the left and shoot a three-pointer.

Without interference, Anderson was stunned by Ridnour, and he hit a nearly open three-pointer, 5 to 6.

The Lakers attack, Kobe Bryant plays back-to-back against Ray Allen in the corner, Radmanovic comes over to form a double-team, Kobe has a good hand at the beginning, and Kobe, who is overconfident, forces a shot, but misses due to interference from the two players.

p>

Jerome James continuously took off and knocked the ball out. Ray Allen grabbed the backcourt rebound, turned around and dribbled forward, stopped in front of the right three-point line to face Kobe Bryant and shot a three-pointer, and hit! 8:6

.

The SuperSonics' "unparalleled arrow formation" is also unique in the league. They score three-pointers very quickly. Sometimes you are 20 points ahead and feel relaxed. They "click" with a few consecutive three-pointers and they can beat the opponent.

Bring back your main lineup.

When the Lakers attacked, Odom came to the corner to do "hand-to-hand" with Kobe, but when the ball was about to reach Kobe's hand, he took it back, turned around and passed Radmanovic, and scored a layup. 8:8.<

/p>

Odom has used this trick many times, and it works every time. Kobe Bryant's offensive threat is too great, his containment power is too strong, Odom is also a thief, and he can always catch him off guard.

The Sonics were attacking in a positional battle. The players were separated. Ridnour and Radmanovic played pick-and-roll and took a step back to the center and passed it to Radmanovic who circled to the wing. The latter took the ball without pausing.

, assigned to the left bottom corner.

Ray Allen made a 70-degree circle from the right side and ran to the left corner to catch the ball. He turned around to face the frame, caught the ball and shot.

Kobe Bryant was guarding Ray Allen, but his rhythm was disrupted by Ray Allen's movement without the ball. It was already very difficult to follow him, and he didn't have time to take off and scored a three-pointer! 11 to 8.

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe broke through the Sonics' defense and attracted double-teams, passing to Butler who was open. The latter missed a three-point shot while Jerome James protected the rebound.

Ke Yan is already a coach in the league who pays more attention to outside shooting, but compared to the SuperSonics built by McMillan, there is still some gap.

The wing showdown between Kobe Butler and Ray Allen Lewis shows that neither side can guard the other, it just depends on who has the better ability to seize opportunities!

After another 3 minutes of play, the SuperSonics led 16-13 at home. Lewis and Ridnour each had a good opportunity and missed a three-point shot, which also made Ke Yan aware that the team's defensive end could not keep up with the SuperSonics' off-the-ball movement.

Problem, call a timeout before the official timeout and rearrange the team's defense!
