The rest is just noise

Text Volume Chapter 1328: Barkley protects the basket? Can he protect it? Louis is ready to change his strategy, but he still has to call a timeout, and he can't be too deliberate.

If you are too deliberate, Riley is not a fool. For some things, just let nature take its course.

After Da Meng succeeded in one versus two, Barkley was in high spirits and thinking about how to fight back.

At this time, something suddenly went wrong when Garnett was holding the ball in the high post.

Clifford Robinson reached out to ruin his dribble.

The high-low cooperation stopped, and Wilson ran over from the wing to respond.

Garnett also directly passed the ball over, and at the same time helped the boss to set a hand-to-hand screen.

Rex Chapman was caught by Garnett's high-quality screen, and Robinson was forced to switch defense.

Wilson didn't even think about how to hit the next shot.

From the moment Robinson switched defenses, he already knew what he should do and what kind of reaction his actions would cause.

How to deal with this reaction and the consequences of his response are all in his mind.

This is amazing.

In Wilson's impression, when he was with the Knicks, he did not have the foresight to take one step at a time and see five steps ahead.

In the words of critics, this is called basketball IQ.

Didn't Wilson have a football intelligence before?

He doesn't think so.

From a player's point of view, Wilson's golf IQ during the New York period was not low, but at that time he was truly the second-best player on the team. He only had to do his own thing on the court, and everything would be fine. After coming to the Lakers, what he did during the New York period

Those things that I have done are obviously not enough anymore. As the boss, I need to exert greater influence in driving my teammates.

At this time, Louis launched, and Wilson was deeply impressed by it, and his game awareness skyrocketed.

In the past, he only knew what to do, but now his thinking has arrived, and.

Simply put, he became.

At this moment, he easily broke through Robinson's defense switch and came to the inside. Olajuwon would definitely help defend, and Barkley would be left unguarded.

So Wilson only needed to contain Olajuwon and throw the ball to Barkley, which would be regarded as a perfect handling of the ball.

Barkley scored easily.

9 to 4

Buckley shouted excitedly,

Wilson laughed:

Wilson took the initiative to hide his forwards and was committed to maximizing Barkley's offensive power.

This coincides with Louis.

Of course, the original arrangement for the opening game was to focus on Barkley, and Wilson was just following orders.

Since Olajuwon is in good shape, the Blazers also want to play the ball inside.

As a rookie, Fisher was too young in all aspects. Under Dumas' defense, it was difficult for him to even pass the ball.

In this round, Dumas predicted his passing intention and got close to press the opponent.

Fisher's ball didn't even rise before Dumas used physical confrontation to force it to drop the ball.

After the ball lost control, Fisher's reaction was still a beat slow, and Dumas grabbed the ball first.

Liu Yuqing moved forward quickly like a sharp sword.

Dumas took advantage of the situation and passed the ball to Liu Yuqing.

Liu Yuqing faced a 1-on-0 defensive counterattack in the frontcourt, which made Laimbeer choose to pursue a three-pointer in disdain.

12 to 4

The score difference was stretched to 8 points, and Riley could only call a timeout.

Kobe seemed more anxious than the coaching staff.

Liu Yuqing said the embarrassing words with a serious face:

"What should I do if I miss the shot?

” Kobe said,

In the NBC commentary box, Laimbeer also disliked Liu Yuqing's offensive choices.

Laimbeer slightly criticized Liu Yuqing's offensive choices, while Louis called a timeout and adjusted the team's strategy.

The original strategy was still mainly focused on cutting off the connection between Jordan and his teammates, but because Dameng was placed in the support position, the Lakers needed to improve the tactical position of the inside to drive the Blazers to change Dameng from the support position back to the core position.

The person best suited to do this is Barkley. First of all, he is a defensive hole. The Trail Blazers players are eager to eat his flesh and peel off his skin. As long as he and Olajuwon face off, no matter how reluctant Riley is, they will have to.

Hit the ball inside. In this way, Olajuwon's marginalized arrangement will be defeated.

With this arrangement, Barkley is under a lot of pressure, so the Lakers need to support the ball on the offensive end.

Unexpectedly, after just a few rounds, Olaju was ready to make a move.

Louis saw Dameng's unwillingness to help, so he gave further instructions.

The specific method is to attack Jordan infinitely.

There is no upper limit to the strength of the flanking attack.

What does this mean? As long as Jordan gets the ball, the Lakers will attack directly without saying a word.

No matter how strong a player is, he can only pass the ball when faced with this kind of attack.

Double-teaming Jordan limited his offensive performance, and the Trail Blazers are a team that relies heavily on Jordan.

In this way, the pressure comes to others.

Louis' choice is to let Fisher go, half-play Robinson, guard Chapman, and indulge his dream to get whatever he wants in the paint.

As a result, the Blazers' center of gravity will naturally shift to the inside. Jordan can use one person to tie up the Lakers' defense of more than two players in each round. From this deal, the Blazers will definitely make a profit.

However, for the Lakers, Garnett and Wilson both have the ability to play one-on-two.

They can keep an eye on their opponents and use their mobility to help their teammates defend.

In the case of letting Big Dream play inside at will, the Lakers are fully capable of blocking the three players except Jordan, but Louis still chooses to lock one, half-release one, and then release the other. If it is not possible, let Wilson and Garnett defend with all their strength.

.

Moreover, with Rodman sitting off the court, the Lakers have sufficient defensive resources.

The purpose of all this is to stir up Olajuwon's selfish motives.

Louis believes Riley must have had a hard time trying to get Olajuwon to give up his core position.

He made Dameng believe that the Blazers can win by giving up their core position and doing the auxiliary work that they usually look down on.

In the second game, they did win.

Dameng believes that Riley did not lie to him.

But, can you really not win on your own?

The Lakers actually rely on people like Barkley to protect the rim in the paint. If he doesn't beat the opponent up, won't he be looked down upon?

Even someone like Barkley considers himself to be the core around Jordan, so why does he have to play support now?

A big dream must be tried.

As a result, he easily broke through the Lakers' interior defense. Although there was help in defense, it was not as difficult as before.

With successful experience, Olajuwon became more convinced of his judgment.

The Lakers have asked people like Barkley to protect the basket. How could he not blow him up?

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Dameng felt that the Lakers' assisting defense had a much smaller impact on him.

As long as he gets the ball, Barkley behind him is a feast.

Jordan was flanked by the Lakers without thinking.

Jordan passed the ball to Chapman who was open.

Chapman got

When the ball was passed, the Lakers' defense was already in place.

He took advantage of the situation and turned to Clifford Robinson in the corner.

Robinson is good at everything, but his shooting percentage was inconsistent in the playoffs. Therefore, he let go of the empty space that the Lakers gave him. A second or two of hesitation was enough for the defense to close in front of him.

Robinson was not in a hurry, waiting for Olajuwon to run over from the other side to claim the position, and then pass the ball.

Olajuwon took the ball, feinted a shot, and overwhelmed Barkley's defense. He then used up and down steps to deal with Garnett, who was assisting in defense, and hit the rebound under the basket.

Nielsen's scalp was numb when he saw it,

Louis said:

It is true that it was easy for Olajuwon to beat Barkley, but Barkley relied on the high and low tactics of the inside and the outside firepower support of Wilson and others, so it was not difficult to fight back.

Even without the support of his teammates, Barkley's ability to break down defenses one-on-one is still among the best in the league.

Just like this round, with all sides spread out and Robinson defending alone.

Barkley was like a tiger coming down the mountain, crushing him, carrying the man on his back and beating him to score.
