Although O'Neal might succeed in breaking the double team defense, it would be too much of a stretch.
Phil Jackson has also studied the Nuggets' inside players, and they are no match for O'Neal in one-on-one situations.
But they are very fast and can quickly double-team O'Neal. According to the referee's standards in this game, O'Neal's two-on-one efficiency will not be particularly high, and it will consume a lot of physical strength.
So Phil Jackson does not intend to play a dark chess game, but plays a direct chess game. He puts Kobe on to tell you that he is going to start playing singles outside.
With Kobe, let's see if Wang Chen dares to play double team defense.
But when all the Nuggets players are on the court, Phil Jackson is furious.
Nuggets lineup: Chris Anderson (C), Nene Hilario (PF), Carmelo Anthony (SF), Washan Leonard (SG), Earl Boykins (PG).
Phil Jackson made it clear that Kobe would play singles, and Wang Chen also made it clear that he guessed that you would play Kobe singles, and I would play Boykins.
With OK on the court at the same time, will it be Payton's turn to play against Boykins?
Not to mention the old Payton, even the young Fisher will not be able to play with the ball when OK is on the court at the same time.
There is no way to play with the ball, and there is no way to play without the ball.
In this game, Kobe was in a state of singles when he got the ball. As soon as O'Neal got the ball, he was surrounded in the paint, and O'Neal might not be able to find PG in the first time.
But what puzzled Phil Jackson was that Anthony was in good shape in this game, and he had shown super singles ability before. What was Boykins used for?
The audience also couldn't understand it.
But the audience was basically Lakers fans. They didn't need to understand, they just needed to know that the Lakers had a chance!
Payton held the ball.
Looking at Boykins with a dwarf in front of him, Payton really wanted to play by himself.
But Kobe was frantically asking for the ball, and O'Neal didn't say anything, just looked at Kobe with some disdain.
O'Neal didn't ask for the ball, just the same as before.
Payton still wanted to win. After all, he came to O'Neal because he saw that O'Neal could lead him to win.
But even when Phil Jackson asked him to give the ball to Kobe, Payton still didn't play Boykins himself, but gave it to Kobe.
After Kobe got the ball, he was originally facing Leonard, but Anthony was arranged to switch defense with Leonard to defend Kobe alone.
Anthony defended Kobe hard, using his body to block him and constantly trying to dig.
Kobe had just experienced Anthony's defensive strength, but it was Boykins who made Kobe the most irritated.
Because there was a bug in [Unlimited Switch Defense], Wang Chen arranged Boykins to frantically interfere with Kobe, and then immediately slipped back to defend his own people.
The inside was already full of people, and Payton couldn't cut in, so he could only wander around in the shooting area.
After Boykins got stuck with the bug, he was as fast as a pair of roller skates.
He came to pick Kobe twice, and when Kobe got tired of being picked, Boykins retreated again.
【[Ultimate Paranoia]: Passing ability reduced by 50%, passing tendency reduced by 90%, offensive ability increased by 50%
Although Kobe has the [Ultimate Paranoia] state, and the passing tendency is reduced by 90%, there is still a chance that he will pass the ball.
Boykins did this for a while, and then went back, directly reducing Kobe's desire to pass the ball to nothing.
Kobe sat on Anthony with his back to the body. It was naturally impossible to push Anthony, but Kobe played quite smartly.
After pushing Anthony, he used the reaction force given by Anthony to quickly make a back-turn breakthrough.
Anthony's defense against Kobe was all based on passion. Facing such a technical breakthrough by Kobe, he was fooled directly due to lack of experience.
But when Kobe played with his back, his field of vision was relatively narrow, and Boykins was relatively small. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
So much so that Kobe didn't realize that at the moment when Kobe successfully turned his back, Boykins had quietly slipped to Kobe's breakthrough route.
Boykins had already stood in position in advance, and Kobe hit him and fell to the ground.
Kobe is several sizes older than Boykins, but the referee didn't doubt whether Boykins was faking or not.
A 1.65 meter little guy was hit and then called for faking. Is there any humanity left?
Beep!
The referee made a gesture: offensive foul.
Kobe held the ball, widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief, walked to the referee and talked.
But the referee ignored him.
Kobe threw the ball away and went back to defense in frustration.
".Why didn't I realize before that Boykins's bug could be so happy, even happier than Yasuo'."
Wang Chen almost laughed at the sidelines.
When playing against the Kings before, double-teaming was rarely used, so I never realized that Boykins's bug could be so flexible.
This bug is simply tailor-made for Boykins.
Nuggets round.
Unlike what Phil Jackson expected, Wang Chen put Anthony on the court, but did not let Anthony play alone.
Instead, Boykins, Anderson, and Nene were the main attackers, and Anthony stood aside and occasionally ran to wait for an open ball.
This ball (Qian Nuo is good) Anderson's layup was interfered by O'Neal and did not score.
The Nuggets did not fight for offensive rebounds and went back to defense directly.
This time Payton finally couldn't help it and chose to hit Boykins directly.
Boykins's confrontation ability was enhanced by the three-person bond of [Beast School], and it was unlikely for Payton to crush him, but Payton still made a mid-range shot over Boykins' head.
Lakers 33:41 Nuggets
Payton's offense finally quenched the Lakers' thirst.
Wang Chen was not panicked at all. He was ready when he put Boykins on the court. Payton and Fisher had average touches in this game. It was their ability to shoot all the way to Boykins.
"But Boykins is just like Yasuo, happy but crushed at the first touch."
