I am Really an Insider

"The blurring of positions on the basketball court will continue to intensify. In the future, basketball will belong to five swingmen with a height of about 2 meters."

Pat Riley once predicted the future development trend of basketball. The statement of "positionless basketball" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but few people take it seriously.

Anyway, you are a champion coach, so whatever you say makes sense.

But now, the lineup that McMillan has put out makes people surprised to find that there are actually people who play like this!

Uduka is 1.96 meters, Anthony Parker is 1.98 meters, Posey is 2.03 meters, Wayne is 2.06 meters, and Gasso is 2.13 meters.

The Trail Blazers' lineup is very weird.

Because there is no point guard position.

Not only is there no point guard, you can't define who is playing small forward and who is playing shooting guard today.

Uduka, Parker and Posey can all play small forward or shooting guard.

Oh, so can Wayne!

Maybe Posey is the power forward?

This is a typical "positionless basketball".

You can't define their location.

Kobe was also a little confused, and McMillan was afraid that he had lost his mind.

Are you ready to play unlimited singles with this lineup?

The offense can't be connected at all!

I don't know how the Trail Blazers' offense is going, but after the game started, Kobe quickly felt the strength of this lineup on the defensive end.

As soon as Kobe approached with the ball, Ariza found himself abandoned and could only sway in the wind alone.

The moment Kobe dribbled up, Posey and Parker double-teamed up!

Without Paul, there would be double-teaming by the forwards!

Although James Posey is only 2.03 meters tall, his wingspan reaches a terrifying 2.19 meters!

This is also the reason why he can swing to the fourth position.

Being caught between the long-armed monsters Posey and Parker, even if Kobe was extremely capable, he would not be able to score easily.

The Lakers' tactics ran into trouble as soon as they started.

Kobe, who was flanked, could only pass the ball to Tiezha.

After Tieza got the basketball from outside the three-point line, he was stunned for a moment.

Well, in most people's minds, Ariza is an excellent 3D player.

However, in fact, in the first few seasons of Ariza's career, his three-point shooting skills have not yet ignited.

In his rookie year, he only took 13 three-pointers in a season and made 3 of them.

In the 2005-06 season, he took a total of 5 three-pointers and hit 1.

Ariza only took 11 three-pointers in the regular season this season and hit 1.

In the original history, Ariza had to wait until the 2008-09 season to really start to evolve his three-point skills.

Now, if Ariza is replaced by Taizi, he can make a few shots. Taizi has a three-point shooting percentage of 35.8% this season.

But Ariza really has no choice.

Therefore, Ariza was a little overwhelmed after receiving the basketball.

Should I vote or not?

If he fails to make a shot, he will end up like Odom, who was dragged by Kobe to practice three-pointers until he vomited.

But if you don't shoot, this is a big gap.

Gan!

Posey really didn't care about Ariza and just took two steps away: "Young man, you vote, you vote, you vote, I'm live streaming peeing upside down!"

This trash talk taught by Wayne really works.

As soon as Ariza heard that he was urinating while standing on his head, he couldn't help but urinate directly.

There is no other way. I want to ask who here doesn’t want to see it.

But if you want to be able to see it, Ariza's trajectory is crooked as soon as he releases it.

Basketball strikes, Gaso blocks Chairman Yao, and Wayne collects the rebound.

At this time, the Lakers should logically block the point guard and prevent him from receiving the ball immediately.

But guys, look at me and I'll look at you.

Who the hell is the point guard?

After Wayne got the rebound, he didn't pass the ball, but controlled the ball for half the game.

At this time, Odom was a little surprised.

You are the only point guard!

In front of my left-hand magician, how dare you do anything to make a cauldron!

When I was playing point guard, you were still learning to pass!

snort!

Odom is indeed versatile, and the Lakers do often let him dribble across half court to initiate offense.

But in fact, Odangdang's organizational ability is overestimated.

In Odangdang's career so far, the season with the most assists per game was 5.9 when he was with the Clippers.

But he averaged 3.3 turnovers per game.

Odom's breakthrough points and hand-to-hand passes in the interior are indeed outstanding, but overall, it can't be said that he has strong organizational skills.

What is Odom's biggest shortcoming?

It’s just hard to focus for long periods of time.

Most of his mistakes came from this.

When the player is in his right mind, the ball will be passed to an open teammate.

When the player is not in his right mind, the ball will be passed to a teammate in the space on the bench.

Isn’t it nonsense that an organizer can’t concentrate?

As for Wayne, at the power forward position, he is a representative with high assists and low turnovers all year round.

In his rookie year, he averaged 4.2 assists per game, and last season he averaged 5.7 assists per game.

This season, Wayne's assists have dropped slightly due to the presence of cannons, but they still reached 5.2.

This is the real organization forward!

Therefore, McMillan had the luxury of letting Wayne hold the ball and play point guard today!

Larry Bird, who was watching TV at home, couldn't help but sigh. Wayne really became a power forward.

His expectations for Wayne back then were becoming reality bit by bit.

This guy still has a lot of talents that he hasn't realized yet!

Wayne: Yes, there are a lot of things in my plug-in that I have to unlock.

Wayne slowly controlled the ball from the outside, and no one came to double-team him for the time being.

After all, the Trail Blazers' three outsiders all have three-point threats. When he originally bought players, McMillan chose those who could shoot three-pointers and make Wayne comfortable in one-on-one situations.

Ariza was offended.

Wayne faced Odom and calmly dribbled the ball.

The two power forwards were one-on-one outside the three-point line. This weird scene appeared again for Wayne.

Wayne dribbled with his left and right hands alternately to find a rhythm, and then took a step to the right.

But the next second, Wayne changed direction and pulled the ball to the left!

Feel the change of direction with a wingspan of 2.3 meters.

Odangdang was shaken away, and Wayne also jumped up to shoot.

Seeing this situation, Kobe stepped up to defend, but in the air, Wayne changed his shot into a pass and passed the ball to his teammate.

Parker, who was missed by Kobe, received the basketball and cut into the basket. Yao Ming quickly shrank to protect the frame.

As a result, Parker passed the ball again and sent the ball to Gasol.

Gasol used his secret skill - a matchbox mid-range shot!

Score points for success!

Wayne successfully connected an attack with his first goal.

Although it was Parker who assisted in the end, it was Wayne who started the offense.

You don't have to directly assist your teammates to be an excellent organization.

As soon as the game started, the remaining Trail Blazers took the lead to score points and showed great momentum!

Pao'er lying in the hospital is waving his cannon fist. My Brother Wei is so handsome!

The Lakers are still a little confused about what the Blazers are playing.

A 2.06 meter point guard?

You should have some face!

"1980, Game 6 of the Finals.

The then Lakers center center "Sky Hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was injured, and Maki-chan Mori was ordered to play center at the critical moment. He eventually led the Lakers to win Game 6 and win the championship.

2007, Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals.

Chris Paul, who performed well, was injured, and Wayne was ordered to switch to point guard. You taste it, you taste it carefully.

Well, now I'm looking forward to Wei's performance more and more! "

Mike Breen, who was commentating on the game, smiled. History is always surprisingly similar.

Although one is running from the outside to hit the inside, and the other is running from the inside to hit the outside.

But they all have different approaches but the same purpose.

The Lakers continued to attack, and Kobe was still double-teamed.

He had no choice but to pass the ball to Dayao.

Chairman Yao is unambiguous. Brother Yao is already very good at supporting his sister-in-law.

Yao Ming is not afraid of playing Gasol alone, but he is afraid of Wayne double-teaming him.

As a result, Yao Ming looked at it and thought, oh, Wayne didn't double-team him.

So what are you waiting for? This dumpling meal is done!

When he turned over and shot a jumper without falling back, Yao Ming's touch was still soft and the basketball hit the net hollowly.

Wayne looked at the big screen, the score was 2 to 2.

There was no way, the crazy running from both ends since the first quarter was too much for today.

He had to organize the offense and sweep away the defense. Wayne couldn't waste his energy today.

But if left alone, Yao Ming can kill the game.

So, Wayne also made a plan.

However, this plan cannot be implemented yet.

Wait, have to wait!

The Trail Blazers resumed their attack, and Wayne was still in control of the ball.

This time Odom stopped praising me. I am just a fake magician, but Nima Wayne is a real magician!

Zen Master looked at Wayne and Odom and shouted shamelessly!

Although Zen Master knew that Wayne's height of 2.06 meters was fake, he didn't expect it to be so fake.

Ma Dan is taller than Odangdang who is 2.08 meters tall.

How shameless!

Old Sutton: How can you call it shameless when it comes to coaching?

Although his height and wingspan are not inferior to Odom's, Wayne's passing vision is still very broad.

This time, Wayne dribbled to the free throw line and exchanged hands with Uduka.

Odangdang didn't switch defense very quickly, and Uduka seized the opportunity and made a half-shot shot.

Wayne got the first assist of the game and is indeed very talented in this area.

Now, there is another man in the league who has moved from the No. 1 position to the coaching bench.

No matter where you are, you can hit!

Then the Lakers attacked, and Kobe no longer held the ball, but looked for opportunities to attack without the ball.

After all, it's not that easy to double-team players without the team.

Directly double-teaming players without the team, that's how much you look down on other people.

Under normal circumstances, double-teaming players without the ball is only used occasionally.

For example, when guarding against a buzzer beater, there are often two players guarding the opponent's star player, preventing him from catching the ball.

But if you want to be so defensive for the whole game, it's obviously unrealistic.

Therefore, Kobe now has to choose the kind of opportunity where he can catch the ball and shoot.

Again, Kobe just wants the right to take action. He doesn't have to hold the ball in his hands, and he doesn't have to control the ball himself.

The central axis of the triangle offense is Yao Ming and Odom, and the dribbler is Fisher. Kobe is just the end point and the point that attracts double teams.

In fact, as a crazy scorer, Kobe's frequency of running without the ball has always been very high.

This is what the triangle offense demands.

This time, the ball was played to Yao Ming, who then distributed it to Kobe who ran to the free throw line.

This time, Naochi didn't take a slow one-on-one with his back. He just received the ball with a beautiful fade away, giving Posey no chance to double-team.

I really dare to admire you and I really dare to advance.

Today, the nagging back can not be turned into iron, Wayne said that he is still young.

Kobe successfully scored and the score was evened again!

If Posey + Parker alone could completely lock down Kobe, then Kobe wouldn't be that great.

It is basically impossible for a superstar to be locked up, and it is basically impossible for a superstar to be locked up.

Just say important things twice, three times is too watery.

Facing a superstar, all you can do is limit him as much as possible.

Just like in the previous few games, everyone said that Paul defended well, but Kobe was still able to score 30-30 points.

But as long as it can be restricted and Kobe is not allowed to score in singles unscrupulously, the Trail Blazers will have a head start.

Passing routes can be blocked.

The cooperation between Kobe and Yao Ming cannot be so smooth every time.

After that, the two sides fought fiercely.

Oh, it sounds like any game is not intense. Didn’t you see that the maximum point difference after five games was only 7 points.

But this time the intensity was something the Lakers didn't want to see.

The Trail Blazers lacked their main point guard and the best barrier to defend Kobe.

Under such circumstances, it is unjustifiable for the Lakers to play so anxiously.

It’s outrageous that you’re still so anxious even though you’ve already given up your life!

In fact, there is nothing outrageous about it. After all, it was not the star player who fell.

The Trail Blazers still have one of the toughest stars in the league.

Wayne used practical actions today to explain whether this pioneer's surname is Wei or Pao.

Paul is important to the Trail Blazers, that's true.

But the true backbone of the Blazers is Wayne, not Paul.

Wayne didn't get to this point by holding Paul's thigh.

With Paul gone, the pillars will not collapse, but they will only bear greater pressure.

The hardness of the star will sometimes directly determine how far a team can go.

After the first quarter, the two sides were tied at 27-23, with the Lakers trailing by 4 points at home.

Kobe scored 8 points, and his offense was not as free as expected.

Yao Ming also scored 8 points and made 4 of 5 shots.

For the Trail Blazers, Wayne scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

Very versatile and all-inclusive!

Wayne's organization on the offensive end revitalized the entire team.

Although there are only 3 assists, Wayne initiated many of the goals and created opportunities, but there were no direct assists.

His sweep on the defensive end also made up for the gap left by double-teaming Kobe as much as possible.

Wayne's all-around performance made all Portland fans admire him.

This G6 is really possible to win!

Pao'er's injury really doesn't necessarily mean the end!

After the first quarter, McMillan and Wayne received a lot of praise.

Everyone praised McMillan for being really brave in employing people, actually arranging such an unconventional lineup, and even using Wayne as the point guard.

The most annoying thing is that the effect is not bad.

Wayne also proved with his outstanding performance that he has the ability to play multiple positions.

The most important thing is that it proves that this series can still be played!

Those fans who dream that the Trail Blazers will be in ruins after losing Paul, just go to sleep!

Pao'er is gone, Wayne is on edge!

Zen Master knows that the game is not that simple now.

This is likely to be another tough battle, with Posey and Parker double-teaming Kobe, leaving Wayne to play point guard.

KFC must admit that this was something he did not expect.

Since you MacMillan went to extremes, don't blame me for going to extremes too.

In order to create singles opportunities for the stars, I will do anything!

At this time, Jackson walked to the end of the bench and called Luke, the son of Trail Blazers legend Bill Walton.

Luke Walton's single defense and assist defense are not as good as Ariza's, but there is one thing - his three-point shooting rate has reached 41.7% in the playoffs so far!

Due to defensive reasons, Jackson only allowed Walton to play 5 games in the playoffs.

But now, the Zen master doesn't care about that much.

Kobe must be liberated, absolutely!

If we lose again in the sixth game, there will be no chance to look back!

If you want to win, it depends on which star player performs better.

It's time for the stars to settle the battle.

Zen Master remained calm and there was no problem that Kobe couldn't solve alone.

If so, then hit singles hard!
