Super Small Forward

Bazemoore returned to Staples Center. Last season, Bazemoore made a big contribution to the Lakers' revival. He worked diligently on the bench for the Lakers' second team, although he left the Lakers to play for the Hawks. The starter went, but he returned to the Staples Center and the fans still gave him applause.

"Wow, Kenta, you played well with the Eagles. You are all starting. This time you are facing me?" Liu Ren stepped forward and greeted Baezmore.

Bazemoore could only smile bitterly when he saw Liu Ren's fighting spirit: "I suddenly don't want to start, please don't be so serious."

Liu Ren thought for a while and nodded seriously: "Okay, I won't knock you to death, just a half death."

"..."

Baezmore said he was very tired!

Since the two teams have exchanged a player who is more important for them to re-emerge last season, and the relationship between their teams and other players is good, this time the two teams played against each other without the tension of the last time in Atlanta, before the game started. Both sides are more harmonious.

However, after the game started, the atmosphere on the court was different.

The ultimate goal of the Lakers this year is undoubtedly the championship. The record has been locked to the league's first place. Can there be other goals besides the championship?

The same goes for the Hawks. They are already No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. The only goal left is the championship. Even if they have been ranked behind the Knicks and Cavaliers, they are still No. 1 in the Eastern Conference.

The Hawks also want to beat the Lakers. They want to reach the finals and then beat the Lakers to win the championship!

Soon the game started.

The Lakers start here: Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green, Gasol.

The Hawks' starting lineup is Teague, Baezmore, Carroll, Millsap, Horford.

Encountering Horford, who is also bad in bounce, Gasol finally won the jump ball again after a lapse of many days, which deserves the celebration of Lakers fans.

Gasol was also a little embarrassed to hear the fans cheering when they saw a jump ball win.

The Lakers first strike.

Clarkson advanced to the frontcourt. The Lakers started with an open formation, placing Gasol and Green in high positions. As soon as Clarkson reached the frontcourt, Liu Ren immediately ran from Gasol, using Gasol's screen penetrated into the basket.

Gasol went up to catch the ball, Green made a ball-free pick and roll for Clarkson, Horford of the Hawks inside had to be pulled out, only Millsap was left to defend Liu Ren inside.

Gasol immediately passed the ball smoothly and the ball reached Liu Ren's hands.

In this game, D'Antoni's idea is to penetrate the interior first, and it is best to cause a foul to beat Millsap down.

Liu Ren beats Millsap on his back, he only has one technique in his back.

Liu Ren slammed backwards, and Millsap couldn't stop it immediately. Taking this opportunity, Liu Ren used his crappy turn to pick up the high jump and throw the board!

Millsap's defensive technical players are very good, but he really can't do this hard hitting, he can only watch Liu Ren's high toss fall into his own basket.

Today, the Lakers played Liu Ren at the beginning and played low at the beginning, decisively using Liu Ren's super physical fitness to bully the opponent.

The key reason why the Eagles are not regarded as a true championship-level team is because they do not have a strong defensive small forward like Leonard, Iguodala, and James.

Simply can't prevent the low post, this is the weakest link of the Hawks.

Just Liu Ren, a small forward, fell to the low post. Except for Horford, who has the ability to defend in the low post, the Hawks were all beaten by Liu Ren.

Not only the Lakers will use this method against the Hawks, but the Warriors, Cavaliers, Rockets, Clippers, and Knicks all bully the Hawks in this way.

Once the Eagles use Horford to defend against these low-level players, the Eagles' inside defense is over. These teams have big tall ones, standing on the other side of the inside and directly receiving the ball and playing high.

Millsap is only two meters and three meters tall, as tall as Liu Ren, James, and Anthony. Defending against a real center is a disaster!

However, the Hawks have long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and this year it is not uncommon for them to be bullied.

It was the Eagles' turn to attack.

Teague slowed down and allowed Horford, a not-so-fast center forward, to fall into position.

Fighting positional warfare is the strength of the Eagles.

Teague passed to Bazemore after reaching the frontcourt, and then quickly ran off the ball along the sideline and the bottom line.

Millsap helped Teague at the bottom line to make a high quality cover, and Horford also helped Carol to make a cover.

The Hawks’ tactical moves are really powerful. They are not like Vicki with a troika under his hands, unlike the Raptors with double guns in the backcourt, but their record is indeed the best among the three Spurs teams, because Their tactics are really good!

The Eagles double-off screen is very strong. The Lakers' defense is focused on Teague. Baezmore passed to Carroll who was in charge. Carroll took the ball but did not attack by himself. After he broke through, he attracted Liu Ren's defense. , And then passed to Teague. Now Teague and Carroll are attracted to the defense of the three outsiders of the Lakers, and Baezmoore is empty! Teague immediately returned to the hands of Baezmore in the top arc.

The Eagles played very complicated in the first round, very patient, very eagle style, but it is a pity that Baezmore missed a three-pointer.

Although it was missed, it is extremely difficult for many teams to do this for the Hawks in the operation of the ball.

The Eagles missed a shot, Gasol protected the backboard and immediately passed the ball to Clarkson.

The Hawks returned to defense very quickly, and the Lakers did not fight fast.

Clarkson took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Liu Ren and Kobe's two shooting ability players immediately opened the space at a 45-degree angle on the left and right sides, and then Gasol and Green came up to give Liu Ren and Kobe a ball-free pick and roll.

The same tactics as the Hawks!

After D'Antoni successfully imitated the Rockets once, he fell in love with this imitating opponent's tactics. Once the opponent cracked their imitation, it was to help the Lakers find a way to deal with them!

Of course, some teams can't imitate the game of opponents. For example, the Warriors' backcourt can't be imitated. The Cavaliers' style of play is also unique and there is no way to imitate it.

But most teams, including championship contenders like the Rockets and the Eagles, can be imitated because they basically do not have the ability to far surpass the Lakers in the same position in any position.

Relatively speaking, Kobe, who often abuses various "animal" teams, poses a greater threat to the Hawks, so Clarkson passed the ball to Liu Ren, who had accepted the pick and roll again and fell to the low post.

Liu Ren once again leaned against Millsap. This time the Eagles did not dare to continue to let Liu Ren play Millsap easily. Carroll, who had been defending Gasol in the past, quickly returned to double-team.

Liu Ren scored the ball to Gasol for the first time, Gasol took a mid-range shot...

Not in!

Gasol missed a shot. Millsap and Carroll caught Liu Ren to grab a defensive rebound and pass to Teague. Teague took the ball and quickly dribbled in.

Defensive counterattack is also one of the Hawks' tactics.

However, the Lakers retired too quickly. The Lakers' offensive rebound strategy is very clear. Except for the inside singles players, only Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo and Whiteside can stay in Bickerstaff's tactics. Grab a rebound in the frontcourt, and other people quickly retreat after taking a shot. You can't be attacked by the opponent because of the offensive rebound.

Gasol ran back as soon as he took a mid-range shot. With Kobe and Clarkson back on defense, the Lakers already had three back on defense. Teague and Baezmore didn't play a role quickly.

At this time, the Eagles decisively dropped into position. After the other players were all in place, they immediately started the double off-ball pick-and-roll tactics again, which completely opened up the space. The other four Lakers, who were not at a loss in speed, did not watch the opponent's pick-and-roll. Instead, he stepped forward to guard, so Teague singled out Clarkson in the middle.

Teague’s speed is not bad, but Clarkson’s speed is not slower than Teague’s, and his moves are fierce, and he is not afraid of fouls. Anyway, there is another Jeremy Lin who is above the NBA starter and Nash who can perform well in a short time. , Clarkson is not afraid of foul problems at all.

Teague couldn't make a breakthrough, so he could only turn back and pass the ball to Horford, who was leaning against Gasol in the left mid-range for the ball.

Horford took the ball in the high position and shot Gasol's long arm directly in the middle distance. Gasol interfered very well, Horford forcibly missed the shot.

Two minutes into the game today, the two teams did not play smoothly.

The Hawks encountered the Lakers' tenacious defense and wanted to take advantage. Even if the Lakers imitated the Hawks' play, they did not succeed in opening the score easily.

Both teams have high defensive strength and have difficulty scoring.

This game looks very lively, but it's just like 撸撸撸, the operation is fierce, and the score is only 2-0.

In the next few rounds, both sides were testing. The Lakers used the Hawks' offensive approach to attack. Unfortunately, the Lakers' scoring points with Horford and Millsap in the Lakers' tactics were in the same position as Gasol and Green in the middle distance today. Great, Horford and Millsap on the Hawks have a bad touch.

Now the two inside lines of the two teams playing the same tactics were all misfired.

The Hawks missed another offense, Liu Ren grabbed a defensive rebound and handed it to Clarkson to advance.

Liu Ren clapped his hands at D'Antoni as he ran to the field, and then pointed to himself, meaning I was coming. D'Antoni nodded. Now the situation is a little stiff. For several minutes, there hasn't been a sports game to score. .

"This Budenholzer's tactics are not so good!" D'Antoni complained about the Hawks tactics. He agreed with Liu Ren's idea of ​​wanting to come by himself. He was originally planning to use the player's personal strength to break this situation. Up.

The Lakers attacked, Liu Ren pointed to the inside, and then pointed to the basket. Clarkson immediately used Green's pick and roll to break into the inside, attracting Millsap to make up the defense, Liu Ren forcibly accelerated away from Carroll on the weak side and went in. The inside line faced Horford.

Liu Ren jumped high after entering the inside, Clarkson passed the ball just right...

Horford actually withdrew from the inside the first time and gave directly to Liu Ren, who easily dunked the ball.

It’s not how scared Horford was, but after the Hawks defeated the Lakers once at the beginning of last season~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The next two matches Horford were dunked by Liu Ren. There is already a psychological shadow. He was blocked and rushed in directly, he didn't even want to stand up to Liu Ren.

Even Howard and Jordan couldn't stop Liu Ren, who had already rushed up, so Horford would not be out of the limelight...

With Liu Renkong taking over, the score that had been stagnant for a long time finally changed, 4 to 0.

But this score is really low! The fans looked at the running tactics of the two teams and fell asleep.

Liu Ren used his personal strength to cooperate with Clarkson to break the deadlock. The Hawks also began to follow the tactics less rigidly, and shot at a little chance. They played more than three points and nearly four minutes without a point. To play tactics to create opportunities for Millsap and Horford, two guys who feel bad today, it is better to come by yourself.

Not to mention, the Hawks' offense this year is indeed not bad, the outside shooting is good, this let go and finally start to score.

However, the scores of the two teams came late. By the time of the official timeout in the seventh minute of the first quarter, the score of the two teams was only 0 to 7, and the Lakers only led by 3 points.
