Chapter 1137 Lao Zhan is no longer alone

It was another familiar wave, and the Knicks completely widened the gap in the second quarter.

Kobe put his hands on his hips. I couldn't figure out why this happened even though I was thinking about it. Did the Lakers do something wrong?

Not really!

Even Howard, who had been inexperienced in the past, didn't show his hips so much today, but why was he still beaten at halftime?

Is it true that, as Zuo Li said before the season, it can't be done without Howard?

This is unscientific...

Zuo Li, who was sitting on the sidelines waving towels to his teammates, never imagined that after James, even Kobe Bryant would be beaten to the point of doubting his teammates.

It’s not their fault, I can only blame the Knicks’ tactics for being too avant-garde. They perfectly combined run-and-gun, defense, and three-point shooting innovations, bringing out the characteristics of almost everyone in the team.

Exquisite.

Jackson is indeed a master of tactics, but his triangle offense historically also encountered Waterloo after leaving the Lakers for the Knicks.

Historically, Jackson's winning rate in the Knicks was only an embarrassing 32%. Although he was not the head coach, considering his words in the Knicks and the fact that he was forced to implement the triangle offense during his tenure as a Knick, he was the Knicks' head coach.

Invisible coaches are not an exaggeration either.

The triangle offense is indeed a great tactic, but the current era is different, and the tactics cannot be rigidly introduced. Before Jackson went to the Knicks, the Knicks, who traded Rose for a time, were ranked third in the Eastern Conference. However, when Jackson arrived, they forced the triangle offense.

From then on, the Knicks went straight to the bottom of the Eastern Conference and could never stand up again until Anthony left.

So although Jackson is definitely more suitable for the Lakers this season than Mike D'Antoni, the Lakers' head coach this season in history, his tactics are actually not suitable for the Lakers of today's Big Four or even Big Five.

Triangle offense, triangle offense, this season the Lakers not only failed to solve the problem of who is the core corner between Kobe and Anthony, but also failed to solve the problem of who is the internal support point.

Are the current Lakers playing without any problems as Kobe thought?

of course not!

On the contrary, today's Lakers are full of problems. Zuo Li can cite a lot of them at random, such as tactical imbalance, weak defense, lack of organization, weak substitutes, unstable lineup, chaos in the locker room, etc.

That's not all. They have also encountered serious injury problems in history. Kobe's Achilles tendon rupture is just a microcosm, including Howard's back injury, Nash's knee injury, Gasol's foot, and the inside third

One substitute, Hill, is out for the season...

The Lakers haven't faced these yet this season, otherwise their record would be even more miserable.

This is also the reason why Zuo Li invited Nash but asked him to serve as a substitute. Zuo Li did not want Nash to be seriously injured early and completely lose his competitiveness like in history.

It's just that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, and Kobe who is among them may not be able to see it.

But Kobe is also a real man. Historically, there are very few guys like him who have risked their lives to lead a team into the playoffs because of a promise.

In fact, looking at this from other people's perspective, it's simply stupid. If it doesn't work, just stop playing. It's only for one season. You can keep the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. If this group of teammates can't do it, just replace it with the next group of teammates, even if the next group of teammates can't do it.

, at worst, we can change teams, why bother to rupture our Achilles tendon? This has to pay for the loss.

Thinking about it this way actually... makes some sense, but not much, if you only regard it as a job.

However, sometimes people play basketball not just for work, but also for performance.

Zuo Li naturally doesn't want Kobe to repeat the same mistakes he made in his previous life, but if he is asked to give Kobe some advice, it would be really difficult for him to do so.

The main reason is that even if you know what the problem is, it is very difficult to change it because there are so many problems that you don’t know where to start.

…

There was still no suspense in the second half of the game. Kobe and Anthony were both in good shape tonight, but again, it couldn't be determined who was the sharp corner in the triangle offense. The two of them only played singles in turns, similar to the Thunder next door.

The difference is that the Thunder's second young master is younger and more impactful.

So even though Kobe had 30 points and 5 assists, Anthony had 31 points and 6 rebounds, and the two of them scored 30+ points together for the first time, they could not prevent the Lakers from losing 106-128.

The 22-point gap was mainly due to the fact that Zuo Li only played 3 minutes in the last quarter.

I don’t know if there will be an end of the world in 2012, but all the lake honeys have a feeling that the sky is falling on this night.

After the game, Kobe sat quietly on the Lakers bench at Staples Center, lost in thought.

There is no suspense. There is no essential difference between this game and the first game. The gap between the Lakers and the Knicks is visible to the naked eye.

This gap cannot be solved by a few stars, but a tactical crushing.

In Barkley's words, these two games proved that the Lakers should stop trying to compete for the championship and play their own game first.

In this game, the much-watched Death Brothers did not disappoint everyone. They made a total of 15 three-pointers in the game.

Zuo Li scored a super double-double with 37 points, 14 rebounds and 7 blocks, while Curry was also very impressive with 28 points and 10 assists.

After the game, Zuo Li, who led the victory and successfully completed the season sweep against the Lakers, was named the best player.

"Congratulations, Zuo Li, you have won another victory. Currently, the Lakers have won four consecutive games against the Heat. They were never expected to be number one in the league. Do you have any secrets?"

After the game, Zuo Li was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines.

"Stay focused and believe in yourself." Zuo Li answered very officially, because he knew that this question was just an appetizer.

"So why do you think the Lakers' Big Five didn't live up to expectations?"

Sure enough, the reporter dropped the bomb directly.

It's a pity that Zuo Li didn't accept the move.

"One or two games is nothing. We only won because of good luck." Zuo Li said seriously.

The reporter twitched his lips, was it luck in one game or luck in every game?

Although the Knicks' overall shooting percentage is ridiculously high this season, after these 20 or 30 games, people can no longer explain it by luck.

Take this game as an example. Zuo Li, Curry, Kobe and Anthony are at most 64 points in terms of statistics. Just looking at this, they will definitely not lose by more than 20 points.

However, others were strong, David Lee 10 points, Lou Williams 15 points, Nash 10 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, 4 of 4 shots, Klay 9 points, Danny Green 12 points, Battier 6 points, Anderson 6 points

…

For the Lakers next door, Howard scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks, a total of 10 points. Artest had 4 points. On the bench, only Hill scored 7 points, and the others totaled 6 points.

Everyone in the Knicks can score, and everyone has a good shooting percentage. This bunch of rookies is unscientific no matter how you look at it.

But after so many games, the Knicks just came through, so it can only be said that the Knicks have something that everyone can't understand.
