Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

During the break, Harris really didn’t have much arrangements as the head coach.

Because the Lakers are currently playing his preset tactical system, and the results are sufficient. They took a 6-point lead in the first quarter, and the starting point of the tactics was Li Shengli, the team's cornerstone player.

Tactics?

In fact, the so-called tactics, even the Bulls' triangle offensive system, are not complicated.

The difficulty is that you have to have the right players to join the tactics, and the most difficult thing to solve is actually the selection of core players. However, after Li Shengli joined the Lakers, this is no longer a problem.

Even the current Lakers coaching staff is referring to and learning from the Mavericks' tactics last season.

After all, Li Shengli and the Mavericks also have a lineup that can reach the finals. There must be some merits, and what both companies can think of is...

Magnify Li Shengli’s personal abilities.

As for how to zoom in, the reference target is the Bulls with Jordan!

…

Take the Bulls' triangle offense as an example. Jordan's meaning is that there is no solution in singles. He can tear up the opponent's defensive formation, attract double teams, and then transfer it to other teammates to find open shots. The only requirement is that the placement must be accurate and the distance must be long. .

Looking back at the current Lakers, what Jordan can do on the outside, Li Shengli can do the same on the inside, and has always done so, and it is even more cruel.

If I have to compare...

What makes the Bulls better than the Lakers is that Li Shengli's passing requires a point guard to help handle it, but the Bulls don't need it. Jordan's combo guard can solve this problem.

What makes the Lakers better than the Bulls is that since the opponent's inside duo is bound to double-team in the penalty area, the Lakers' 4-on-3 offensive end has a larger space for movement than the Bulls, and the shooting area can be from outside the three-point line to the edge of the penalty area.

Based on this, the direction of the Lakers' future formation is very clear.

A qualified point guard does not necessarily need strong offensive power, but must have sufficient vision and court control.

A core shooting guard with super offensive power is responsible for digesting the 4-on-3 opportunities transferred from the inside. Since this opportunity does not last long, the shooting guard is very demanding.

As for forwards No. 3 and 4, due to limited shooting rights, those in these two positions are basically excluded from the main attack point. Although I don’t dislike the players in these two positions for their strong abilities, what you need to know is...

The more capable the players are, the bigger the contracts will be, and the salary pressure on the Lakers will also increase.

Therefore, in these two positions, the Lakers' best choice is functional role players. They do not necessarily have to have super offensive ability, but they are still necessary to join the defensive system and reflect the defensive function.

…

For now, the Lakers' main power forward is Campbell, and their main small forward is Ceballos.

The former's Campbell has an annual salary of 7 million, but if the Lakers have the combination of Li Shengli + Kobe in the future, Campbell will take away a large part of the offensive tasks, but the defense alone is not strong, resulting in the final cost performance being too low.

The latter, Ceballos, currently has an annual salary of 2.4 million. Compared with his 21+7 figures last season, the price/performance ratio is relatively high, but the problem is that he has to sign a new contract next year.

If nothing else, the price of Ceballos will be raised, and the Lakers can't afford it, but there is really no need to do so, so Ceballos will also have to be disposed of.

The Lakers have money, but they don't spend it recklessly.

So the final lineup plan has basically been determined... Li Shengli is the core cornerstone and the foundation of the lineup;

The point guards of Nick, Crotty and Fisher are three generations of old, middle and young people, suitable for various situations;

Playing Eddie and Kobe at shooting guard is the most important, digesting outbound shots;

As for the third and fourth positions, the best ones are defensive and cost-effective role players.

Of course, these are the opinions of the management. Except for Harris who told Li Shengli and asked him to observe the players in other teams who want to join forces, no one else knows about this yet.

…

Returned to the arena and waited for a while.

Harris repeated the key points of the tactics, and the second quarter between the Lakers and the 76ers began. Perhaps to prove the correctness of the Lakers management's ideas, the effect of the second quarter was astonishing...

Just like everyone knows the Bulls will play the triangle offense.

The 76ers also knew that the Lakers wanted to use Li Shengli to pull their inside duo, but they just couldn't help it.

In the first half of the second quarter, the 76ers still chose to double-team defense.

What can be seen is that Li Shengli seldom hits hard, but Crotty is responsible for helping with the transfer. After Kobe digested more than half of the transferred ball, he shot 3-for-6.

The terrible thing is that among the three missed goals, one was tipped in by Li Shengli, and the other was picked up an offensive rebound and stuffed into the basket by Campbell. This means... The Lakers 6 times After taking shots and scoring 5 times, including a few shots from others, the point difference exceeded double in just half a quarter, leading the 76ers by 10 points.

As for the 76ers' offense.

Iverson was still fierce, relying on a one-man attack to chase Kobe and hit the same 3-for-6 numbers.

However, his shortcoming is defense, coupled with the defensive pressure caused by tactics against Li Shengli, the 76ers were stretched as a whole, the defensive end was blown to pieces, and the offensive end basically relied on Iverson himself to support it.

You know, the 76ers have gone through a lot of changes this season, from the management to the coaching staff, so there is no effective way to deal with the current situation. They can only tentatively deal with it in the second half of the second quarter. Duan selectively gave up double-teaming Li Shengli to see the effect.

…

Give up double-teaming Li Shengli?

Whenever a former teammate or coach of Li Shengli is present, they will laugh when they see the 76ers' choice.

Because the young 76ers don't seem to understand... double-teaming is just a slow death, and the loss will not be too ugly, but if you don't double-team, it is equivalent to directly replacing the oxygen tank with a gas tank.

Will you end up well if you ride on a horse and suck gas cans?

…

"Damn it, can you ride on a horse?"

Iverson was seen vomiting blood outside. Because there was no 5-second limit on back-up play, Li Shengli's beating of Scott was simply cruel. He pushed to the basket and dunked. The action of pulling the basket made the basketball stand shake. Everyone in the restricted area was so frightened that everyone ran away.

…

"Damn it, if my opponent doesn't double-team Lee, nothing will happen to me, right?" Iverson vomited blood, and Kobe himself looked like he was vomiting blood.

Because in the 76ers' new defensive arrangement, Coleman focused on assisting defense. When he rushed to block Li Shengli, Li Shengli hit him directly on the head. After landing, he became angry and angry. He didn't dare to speak for fear of being missed by Li Shengli.

…

"What the hell, are you still coming?" Kobe fainted.

"Is the game so simple? You won by just wandering around on the court for 46 minutes?" Iverson spread his hands.

The two of them came together and saw Li Shengli going up against Coleman and dunking with a tomahawk again. They were all hairy. And he dunked three times in a row, which was so easy that it was outrageous. The 76ers really couldn't stand it. He stopped and immediately called a timeout. The score difference reached 16 points in an instant.

…

"I'm convinced, really." Before Iverson returned to the bench, he glanced at Kobe and sighed, "I swear, even if Jordan came, he couldn't play better than me in this game today, but I feel so powerless, completely unable to look directly at this cruel...monster. Well, I called him a monster, you won't tell him, right?"

"Don't worry, I won't." Kobe patted Iverson, "Because... I think so too, but I dare not say anything to him. You know the reason."

"It's normal. If I were in the Lakers, I wouldn't dare say anything about him. He's not a human being at all." Iverson looked helpless and glanced around at all the players on the Lakers bench.

"To be honest, I really envy you. As long as you don't hold back Li, you don't have to worry about the playoffs, no matter what their strength is."

"Look... even the person you are looking at at the water dispenser looks like. Does that mouth look like a hot dog? He is so ugly that he can hug his thighs. Hmm, something doesn't seem right. Why does this person look familiar to me? Woolen cloth?"
