The rest is just noise

The Lakers' inside high and low post tactics achieved unexpected and reasonable results.

Although the cooperation between Garnett and Barkley does not meet the standards set by Louis himself, it is sufficient in actual combat.

Louis is not greedy, because they have not designed tactics specifically for high and low inside positions before, but they suddenly played this game tonight and used the original tactics.

The original tactics were not designed for high and low posts inside, so it would give people a sense of dissonance, but the performance of Garnett and Barkley made people ignore this.

Barkley destroyed Clifford Robinson, the all-important sweeper for the Blazers, in the low post.

Clifford committed two fouls on Barkley, and in order to protect him, Laley had to replace him. This later highlighted the hidden danger of the Blazers' serious lack of depth in the lineup.

Functionally, the Blazers have no power forward who can replace Clifford.

In order not to unbalance the matchup on the court, Laili decided to give Olajuwon a hard time and let him stand four on the defensive end and roam as much as possible.

Olajuwon was at the fourth defensive end, so he naturally had to switch to the fifth position.

Here comes the white center Chris Dudley (Chris Dudley C), who was a fourth-round pick who entered the league in 1987. Although he is white, he is an authentic blue-collar worker. He does not have much easy work and has a clear positioning. He is just a coolie.

In a few years, Shaquille O'Neal will create a famous scene for him - after dunking, he will knock someone down on the ground.

The spread rate of that scene in the basketball GIF world is about the same as the GIF of James smiling on a forum.

At the same time, Louis replaced Barkley again.

At that time, Barkley scored in double figures and grabbed 6 rebounds. If he continued to play, he was very likely to get a double-double in a single quarter. He said with more content: "Coach, I'm not tired."

"I don't want to wait until you are tired before I replace you." Louis patted Barkley on the shoulder, "Come down and take a breath, I will need your energy later."

The person who replaced Barkley was veteran James Worthy.

Louis took down Barkley mainly to create a stage for Garnett.

After Worthy came on the court, he stood at the 4th position, and Garnett moved to the 5th position.

When Worthy was with the Pistons, he was often positioned as an offensive three and a defensive four. Now it is not difficult for him to play the fourth position.

However, due to the limitations of his technical style, he was unable to cooperate with Garnett in the high and low posts.

This is another intention of Louis, not only to test the high and low post tactics inside, but also to let Garnett take the lead in stages according to Bird's vision to see if his current level is enough for Bird's tactical requirements.

When it came to the Lakers' offensive round, the four perimeter lines were wide open, and Garnett held the ball in a high position. Dudley's speed alone made it difficult to defend.

Watching Garnett holding the ball and beating Dudley like the king who accidentally entered the bronze game, Louis thought that he had to find some problems for him.

But the right to decide the question lies with Lai Li. If the Blazers' plan remains unchanged, the Lakers' strategy will not change either.

Of course, Laili would not watch Garnett dominate, but due to the lack of depth in the lineup, his eyes fell on Da Meng again.

We can only make things more difficult for Olajuwon.

Laili called out to Dameng and pointed at Garnett, which meant that Dameng should deal with Garnett in a high position, leaving Dudley in the paint area as the center's own space to save his respect.

To be fair, this temporary arrangement is not impossible, but Dameng looks fast, but compared to a center, his speed is not enough to reach the average level among normal athletic power forwards. Because he is pulled outside, it makes people

Fear's ability to protect the basket cannot be used.

Sacrificing such a long strength just to keep Dudley's short strength, Louis really didn't expect that the depth of the Trail Blazers' lineup was so bad.

Considering that Philadelphia gave Philadelphia four future first-round picks in order to acquire Mourning...

The days of the pioneers are becoming more and more promising.

Now that Laili has made his move, Louis must follow suit.

He won't focus on Dudley, the Blazers' biggest vulnerability, because he has more important things to do.

After Olajuwon came to guard, I don't know whether it was because he really couldn't play or because he lacked self-confidence. Garnett's offense failed.

Garnett couldn't go on, so he could only hold the ball for ten seconds and throw the blame with five seconds left.

Fortunately, Wilson and Ellis are both good at taking the blame.

Two blame balls, both of which did not include Lake. One hit a one-on-one mid-range shot within five seconds, and the other tried to throw the blame away from Worthy before time ran out, but Jordan's defense was too tight, and there was no space for the pass.

nothing.

Since you can't pass it, you can only vote it yourself.

Jordan must have blocked all the ways out, but for a legendary shooter who single-handedly buried the Celtics dynasty, as long as the ball is not blocked, no matter how big the interference is, it is like a cloud to him.

Same.

"Uh-huh!

"

"You can't even guard against a 37-year-old man. I think you will never win the championship in this life!" Wilson mocked.

Garnett excitedly ran over to give Ellis a high-five, but was scolded by the opponent: "Either you shoot the ball yourself, or you pass it early. What does it mean to wait until the last few seconds to pass the ball?"

If you pass the ball like this to me again, get out of here!"

Ellis made a verbal threat that only Louis could use.

The strange thing is that no one is surprised by this.

In terms of seniority, only Tragedy, Worthy, and Old Buck among the Lakers are higher than Ellis. But they are all relatively modest players and do not like Ellis to act like a senior in front of young people.

Ellis is not only the veteran in the team who likes to rely on his elders, but he is also a veteran who likes to bully newcomers. Although he does not have the power not to let Garnett play, his words still made the person involved nervous.

The Trail Blazers limited Garnett's high-post offense. At the same time, they also performed brilliantly on the offensive end around the personal abilities of Jordan and Olajuwon.

Olajuwon can limit Garnett's offense in the high post, and he can also beat the Lakers' inside line when he returns to the low post.

If he is double-teamed, he only needs to pass the ball to Jordan.

The Lakers' high-post dynamic offense with Garnett as the main frame has lost its spirituality.

These few minutes fully exposed Garnett's current shortcomings in personal ability.

The Trail Blazers went on a 12-7 offensive run.

Louis glanced at Bird and said, "This kid is still too young."

Bird shrugged and said: "He is only 20 years old. We have never practiced this style of play. We have to give him some time to adapt."

Louis didn't call a timeout and ended the first quarter with this style of play and lineup.

Although they were able to catch up a few points at the end of the first quarter with the active performance of Feimeng, the Lakers were still in the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, 32 to 29, the Lakers entered the second quarter with a 3-point lead.

As Louis was testing a new style of play inside, Wilson basically didn't play much. He was a tool on the outside for a whole quarter and only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Louis played a game of five up and five down, replacing Wilson, Ellis, Dumars, Garnett, and Worthy, and replaced Dana Barros, Liu Yuqing, Kobe, Barkley, O

Strtag.

Before the game started, Louis told him: "We need to launch a high-position dynamic attack around Chuck. At the same time, we can also use Chuck's cover to launch a two-corner attack on the left and right wings. There are many options. Stay patient. Portland's lineup depth is limited.

They have too many old men, as long as we persist, victory will definitely belong to us!"

When the players were getting ready to take the court, Louis called Kobe to his side again.

"Sir, what are your orders?" Kobe asked respectfully.

Louis said with a hidden smile: "Benj and Dale are not here, so you have to behave well."

"Really?" Kobe asked heartily, "Can I really perform 'well'?"

Kobe still doesn't know what Louie's smile means.

"Bean, I believe in your strength."

A piece of exciting music automatically played in Kobe's mind, imagining that he was Superman (Superman 1978) played by Christopher Reeve, leisurely completing the transformation, and then hugging the man who fell from the sky in full public view.

Falling woman.

This is his "I've got you" moment!

Considering that Christopher's acting career ended due to an accident not long ago (he was paralyzed from the neck down), this is not a good association.

But every Gen Xer who grew up in the 1980s was inevitably influenced by Christopher Reeve, who was so topical and engaging.

Kobe walked up to his opponent like Superman and said confidently but inexplicably: "I've got you!" (I caught you)
