The rest is just noise

Chapter 1,259 Weird Team

If the Cavaliers, who are sitting on a group of nerve-wracking wings, want to defeat the Lakers, then these nerve-wracking wings must be aimed at the Lakers.

However, apart from the opening three points, Nick Van Exel never scored again.

Jim Jackson was blocked by Kobe Bryant for five minutes, and then Liu Yuqing came on as a substitute.

Although Liu Yuqing does not have Kobe's explosive physical fitness, he is taller and more experienced.

Jackson, who was eager to take the ball and attack, also kept hitting the ball under Liu Yuqing's defense, and his personal score was still unable to break the ball.

Seeing these crazy knives turning their sharp sides on him to cut his flesh, Kang Chengbiao placed his hope on his other son, Yinsaiah Leder.

Lydel made a strong shot against Wilson's defense and hit the ball in the air.

"Good shot, kid!" Kang Chengbiao shouted excitedly.

Leder was very dissatisfied: "Stop talking, you shouldn't pass the ball to those losers!"

"Yes, if those useless and unfilial sons continue like this, I will sever the father-son relationship with them sooner or later!" Kang Chengbiao echoed loudly.

However, Kang Chengbiao himself was not sure.

Garnett's defensive area is too large, and Kang Chengbiao cannot win with speed, nor can he create space for shots through changes in rhythm.

For the Lakers, using Garnett to defend Kang Chengbiao was a clever move to cut off the Cavaliers' offensive firepower.

Even Louis didn't expect that putting Garnett in a high position to deal with those wings would cover up his current shortcomings of insufficient confrontation, and also amplify his advantages of being agility and lateral speed that can match ordinary defenders.

After 7 minutes, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 8 points, 19-11.

Cavaliers coach Mike Fratello requested a timeout.

Louis continued to adjust personnel, replacing Barkley with Ostertag, and Garnett returned to his favorite fourth position.

In this way, even if Garnett goes out to guard Kang Chengbiao, the Lakers' height and hardness under the basket will not lose to the Cavaliers.

As for Mourning's classic Georgetown mechanized singles ability, there won't be much advantage in Ostertag's hands.

There are also disadvantages. Without Barkley, an offensive monster who ignores the game environment, if the tactics cannot be opened, the Lakers can only give the ball to Wilson.

This is already very luxurious.

Under normal circumstances, it is rare for a team to have a singles player who ignores the environment, but the Lakers have two.

For the Cavaliers, Mike Fratello chose to take the right medicine.

Since the Cavaliers' problem is that they can't open up from outside, then they need to replace them with an accurate pitcher.

Van Exel was replaced and his replacement was a player named Lee Mayberry PG.

This person joined the industry in 1992. As a substitute, he could score 5 points and 4 assists per game. His most outstanding feature is his outside three-point shooting percentage, which is between 38% and 40% all year round.

At the same time, they replaced Jim Jackson, let Kang Chengbiao stand at the third position, and replaced him with another three or four swingman, Charles Smith.

After returning from the timeout, the Cavaliers "strictly" implemented the coach's instructions to "make sure every shot is the best opportunity."

Mayberry dribbled the ball across half court and passed the ball to Kang Chengbiao on the left.

Kang Chengbiao took the ball, looked at Wilson's position, and found that he didn't get close to him immediately, so he took action directly.

"Whoosh!"

"Sons, let's see dad help you recover from the decline!" Kang Chengbiao shouted.

14 to 19

Louis gradually understood why Kang Chengbiao was not reused in the national team.

In the Cavaliers, he is an axis-like existence.

He said that he can play in any position, which is definitely an exaggeration, but he is indeed an all-round player, and the national team coach, especially the traditional coach headed by Gong Shuai, cannot bring out his talents. Moreover, Kang Chengbiao

He is a player who needs to get the ball. It is impossible for him to shoot freely like the Cavaliers in the national team.

Wilson exercised the privileges of a core player, asked for the ball, waved people away, and prepared for a single.

"Coach, doesn't Benjamin need to play tactics?" Kobe asked as he seized the opportunity.

Louis turned back and smiled kindly: "Do you have any objections, Bean?"

"No objection, I just want to ask...can I do this on the court?"

"Benj owns seven rings, which gives him the right to occasionally be willful on the court." Louis said with a hidden smile, "As for you, hehe."

Kobe was stunned for a moment: "'Heehee'? What does it mean?"

Daben pretended to be looking at the scenery: "It means you are not qualified yet."

"Is this something you can say, Ben?" Kobi shouted like a dragon.

"I'm just telling the truth, why are you angry..."

After his teammates opened up the space, Wilson singled out Kang Chengbiao and scored easily.

21 to 14

Subsequently, Wilson made a 180-degree reversal towards Kang Chengbiao's defensive intensity.

It used to be that he just used regular season level defense to defend casually. Now, he has raised his intensity to playoff level.

Kang Chengbiao's somewhat promising touch disappeared in the continuous confrontation.

At the same time, the Lakers' method of dealing with Lee Mayberry was also very targeted, strictly preventing shots and allowing breakthroughs.

In the end, they had to pass the ball to Mourning and let him play Ostertag alone.

Ostertag's single defense has no other advantages, it's just high and heavy.

Post-up play inside is the simplest and crudest place on the court.

Although skill is very important, most post-ups inside are still a battle of strength. The stronger side can always dominate, and when the strength is insufficient, skill can come into play.

First of all, Mourning fell behind in terms of physique and strength. In terms of technique, of course, he also had a formulaic set of steps, but once he figured out the routine, he would be easily disturbed.

Louis explained Mourning and Georgetown's low-post routines to the players before the game. Ostertag just followed what Louis said, predicting Mourning's attack in advance, and finally blocked his turnaround jumper.

Out of bounds.

Mourning, who is both offensive and defensive, has really turned the Cavaliers into a team on another level.

But Mourning is not an inside overlord like Olajuwon and O'Neal who can destroy a defensive line. The strength of the Cavaliers lies in the connection between the outside and inside.

Nowadays, the neurosurgeons only attack the nerves and the knife falls off.

Mourning was isolated and helpless, and it was difficult to score in the Lakers' tightly defended penalty area.

Ten minutes into the first quarter, the Lakers led the Cavaliers by 11 points, 27-16.

Louis carries out a large-scale personnel rotation.

Dumars, Tragedyman, Big Ben, and Buck Williams replaced Burrows, Wilson, Garnett, and Ostertag.

The Cavaliers saw this as an opportunity.

If Wilson and Garnett are replaced at the same time, the Lakers' defensive intensity will drop by two levels.

Mike Fratello made a prompt decision and played with Van Exel, Lydel, (Jimmy) Jackson, Kang Chengbiao, and the tallest player in NBA history, George Mulesan.

Replacement of all Neuroswordsmen and expecting them to burst out to chase points, Louis can understand.

But Louis couldn't understand why those four people were paired with Muresan.

Based on the style of those four people, it would have taken two rounds to complete the game, and Muresan hadn't even passed half time yet.

As a result, Fratello made the wrong calculation.

Wilson and Garnett are indeed the Lakers' two best defensive players at this stage.

But the players that Louis just replaced, apart from the tragic players, are also good defensive players.

Dumars has a long-lasting sword, and Buck has rich experience. He already has the prototype of the greatest defensive player in the 2000s, and only needs a year or two of actual combat to polish him.

As the tactical core of this lineup, Tragedyman was in excellent condition after coming on the court. He first hit a three-pointer from the outside, and then grabbed the defensive rebound and passed a long pass to Dumars.

After a double-team, Kang Chengbiao made a mistake. The tragedy maker took the ball and sent another long pass.

Within one minute, the Lakers beat the Cavaliers 9-0.

36 to 16

The score difference suddenly widened to as much as 20 points.

With only 1 minute left before the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers didn't call a timeout, as if they had given up the game.

The Neuroblade team is the team that Louis least wants to encounter.

Because their games are often difficult to explain using common sense.

Trailing by 20 points in the first quarter, a normal team might have already considered the next game, but the Cavaliers used their sudden explosive touch to beat the Lakers 9-2 in the next minute.

One of the shots was a three-pointer from half-court with the clock counting down at the buzzer.

38 to 25

Yinsaiah Ryder shook his butt after hitting a three-pointer at the half-time buzzer.

Louis shook his head helplessly.

Fortunately, the Cavaliers are an Eastern Conference team. He really doesn't want to encounter such a team in the playoffs.

The Mavericks in 2007 were crushed by this weird team that couldn't be explained by basketball logic.
