Chapter 227: Zhan Yangyang is suspected of cheating, but no evidence can be found!
November 2, 2007, Phoenix.
Night falls.
At this time, the US Airways Center, the home of the Suns, was about to host a regular season game against the Lakers. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
The cheerleading girls exited after showing off their dance moves and skills, and tonight's protagonists appeared one after another.
During the warm-up, Kobe and Nash chatted about a few cents. Kobe didn't want to talk, but couldn't help but Nash was too enthusiastic.
We are also a member of the championship, so there should be a lot of topics.
When Marion heard that Odom was injured, he felt bad. His face looked so bad and he looked even uglier.
Do you think that whether you are ugly or not has nothing to do with your complexion?
You are polite!
Do you have to criticize others? What does it have to do with you whether you are ugly or not? Are you eating your rice?
Nothing!
The most handsome boy tonight must belong to Subei. He returned to his old place and chatted with his former comrades about pennies. The smiles on each other's faces definitely didn't smell like plastic.
After dealing with it with a smile, Su Bei received his own championship ring as he wished, and his smile became more sincere.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
Suns 5 players, Stoudemire, Marion, Hill, Laga Bell, Nash.
The Five Tigers of the Lakers, Kwame Brown, Turiaf, Su Bei, Kobe, Fisher.
This game will be broadcast live across the United States on TNT radio, with commentary by Mike Breen and Marv Albert.
"In recent seasons, the Lakers and Suns have been enemies.
This is the first time that the playoffs have been played for two consecutive years. The Lakers are both eliminated, and they are both from the Pacific Region. If the Lakers are a little ambitious, they also want to kill the Suns.
It can't be said to be similar to the Suns' mentality in previous years, it can only be said to be a dime a dozen. When the Lakers were popular, the Suns were also suppressed and couldn't hold their head high.
It can be said that three years are in Hedong and three are in Hexi!"
"It is true that the Lakers signed Su Bei with a poisonous contract. Su Bei's strength is one thing, but the intention to disgust the Suns is definitely indispensable."
"The defending champion is the biggest imaginary enemy in the league. This is a tradition.
To defeat such an enemy, there are two tricks that are tried and true.
One is to strengthen the lineup and defeat the opponent with stronger strength.
The other is to weaken the opponent and poach the defending champion.
Therefore, it is more difficult for a championship team to successfully defend its title than to win the championship, unless it requires more money.
This Suns team doesn't seem to want to spend money, and its strength has been weakened this season.
The strength of the Lakers has increased, and in the third year of Jackson's second term in the Lakers, the triangle offensive tactics have been fully adapted. This matchup has a 50-50 winning rate..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Stoudemire defeated Kwame Brown and scored the first offense for the Suns.
The players on the field rushed to the offensive front like a tide. Su Bei followed up with Hill, his opponent, and also rushed.
"Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, but Fisher used physical confrontation to press him. He couldn't push the running and gun tactics.
In the positional battle, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and played a diamond tactic..."
Marion and Stoudemire moved to the corner areas on the left and right sides, while Hill and Laga Bell sank to the bottom corners on both sides.
wrong.
Some changes were also made.
"Hill just entered the corner, then retreated, made a reverse run, and played a covering tactic with Marion.
Su Bei followed Hill and was blocked by Marion. Hill ran to the left side of the free throw line. When Turiaf was still a little confused, Nash dealt Hill a card.
Catching the ball, jumping up, and shooting a two-point jump shot, the shooting rhythm is very smooth, as smooth as eating Dove chocolate..."
Swish——!
Hill hit a two-pointer, opening the scoring account for the Suns first.
0 to 2!
Hill is an all-around warrior. Hill holds the ball and plays point forward. Hill, who has poor physical talent, just joined the Suns and found a way to settle down... without the ball, catch the ball and shoot a two-point jumper.
"It's not unusual for Hill to make such a change and quickly integrate into the Suns' offensive system.
In the past, Hill had so many trump cards in his hand that he could choose what to do and selectively play cards against his opponents.
Now that he is old and has lost his athletic ability and talent, Hill has no choice but to seriously polish two or three trump cards, which is still enough..."
After all, Hill was once the closest successor to Jordan.
You ask, isn't Kobe Bryant the closest successor to Jordan?
Talk about this!
Did you know that Kobe's original draft model was not Jordan, but Grant Hill?
On the court, the Lakers offensive possession.
Fisher controlled the ball for half the game, waited for his teammates to settle into a 1-2-2 position, passed the ball to Kobe, and immediately cut inside and entered the basket, taking away Nash's defense.
May and Brown formed an offensive rebounding triangle.
Su Bei made a three-pointer from the right, straining the defense.
Kobe's left outside line can challenge Laga Bell to his heart's content.
"The triangle offensive tactic is a tactic that creates unlimited singles opportunities for stars.
A pick-and-roll screen without the ball and a 3-pointer from the outside can instantly take away three defenders. The remaining one is still a triangle attack point.
Jackson's triangle offensive tactics have properly arranged the Suns' defense, and their hands and feet are tied. Next, it's up to Kobe to watch his performance.
If you only look at Kobe's one-on-one duels and don't look at the movement of the Lakers team to contain them, the Lakers' offensive tactics are the least technical..."
Don't ask, it's just Kobe's one-on-one challenge.
In the first round of the Lakers' offense, Kobe chose to do it himself.
After attacking the three threats, he stepped, feinted, started, dribbled the ball to the inside and broke through. After being forced to stop by Lagabel with his body, he immediately turned around and played with his back.
"Laga Bell's defense was very good, and her response to Kobe's offense was also correct.
Kobe shook his shoulders and turned around... was he trying to pull the ball and shoot a fadeaway jumper?
Lagabel anticipated Kobe's move in advance and followed up with a slide... No, Kobe did not lean back, but pulled the ball forward for a layup. Lagabel's anticipation turned into a foul.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the whistle sounded, Kobe did not stop attacking. After the body collision, he jumped up with difficulty to complete the shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Kobe was suspected of cheating this time, but you just couldn't find the evidence. It felt like Laga Bell's defense was too self-righteous and ran into Kobe's offensive trap, which almost led to a 2-1 loss.
It's just a pity that Kobe's shooting was poor.
Swish!
Standing on the free throw line, Kobe showed no mercy and made two free throws, opening up the scoring account for the Lakers.
2 to 2!
Su Bei played a minor role and made a bottle of soy sauce.
Calculating that my annual salary is 5 million, I can earn it while standing, not lying down.
This soy sauce is worth 5 million, so it’s a profit.
Thinking of this, Northern Jiangsu became more active in defense.
When the Suns attacked, Nash started sprinting. Fisher couldn't stand it, so naturally he had to change his position and ask Nash to stop. Only a slow flow can last long.
YY
Nash, who was born in 1974, is almost 34 years old and is already an old man. He can easily be pushed down even if he wants to sprint.
"In a positional battle, Nash took the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Stoudemire.
Kwame Brown did not change defense and stuck to Stoudemire. Fisher went around to pursue the defense. Kobe left Laga Bell in the air and came to help defend...
This is to cut off the connection between Nash and Stoudemire, and the Lakers will compete with the Suns for outside firepower.
Nash saw it through at a glance. He didn't pass the ball outside and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, just like strolling in the back garden..."
Nash was so arrogant. He dribbled the ball in and then came out from the left. He really couldn't beat him.
"There is no chance on the right side, and Nash also has no chance on the left side. The Lakers are too familiar with them and control the court in terms of pattern.
Nash turned around and shot a jump shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Nash took a shot and missed.
The rebound was grabbed by Turiaf.
Marion has the highest annual salary in the Suns, but he can't get rebounds from the unknown Turiaf. It's no wonder that the Suns owner wants to save money and uses Marion for surgery.
"The Lakers' quick counterattack was destroyed.
It seems that the Suns are also very clear about the Lakers. Fisher controls the ball to the front court slowly and quickly..."
Outside the court, Zen Master Jackson nodded.
Very satisfied with the defense in that round.
Nash's scoring is not terrible. If he can score again, can he compare to Kobe?
The current point guard's No. 1 organizational ability is what the Lakers need to guard against the most.
After two years of fighting with the Suns in the playoffs, the Lakers lost to the Suns because of Nash and Stoudemire.
Now with Fisher back, even if the point guard loses again, there is a bottom line.
Therefore, if you want to defeat the Suns, it is particularly crucial to kill Stoudemire.
D'Antoni was unmoved.
His run-and-gun tactics require top-notch point guards to control the court.
Jackson poses a problem for the Suns, and Nash can solve it.
He doesn't have to do anything.
On the court, the Lakers attack, Fisher controls the ball to the frontcourt, and distributes the ball to Kobe.
"Turiav and Kwame Brown switched positions to move the screen, and Turiaf came to the right side.
Kobe was closely followed by Laga Bell and chose to pass the ball to Su Bei. Fisher cut inside to the basket and Su Bei passed the basketball to Turicayav.
With Turiaf's cover, Fisher failed to get rid of Nash's defense and slipped directly to the right three-point corner.
It was Su Bei's turn to make an air cut, and it was Turiaf's screen. He got rid of Hill and received the pass from Turiaf. Su Bei faced the basket, jumped up, and blasted the basketball towards the basket.
basket……"
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei dunked with both hands, his whole body hanging from the southeast corner.
Under the triangle offensive tactic, it is really easy to take the cake.
4 to 2!
Rumor has it that Jackson couldn't make good use of star point guards.
Hong Kong True cannot say that it is difficult to use a bright point guard, it can only be said that the star point guard is very useless in the triangle offensive tactic.
The first element of the triangle offense is movement.
Point guards generally rely on penetration to move.
When a star point guard uses a triangle offensive tactic, he must first eliminate his own breakthrough.
The triangle offensive tactic has an organizational axis, which is often played by the interior line.
Good guy, the star point guard has neutered even the most basic function of organizing this.
The most commonly used and practical tactic in basketball games is the pick-and-roll tactic.
Take the Suns as an example. If Nash breaks through and then uses Stoudemire or Marion to play the pick-and-roll, the goal is to form a mismatched offense. Whether it is small against big, or big against small... it is the point guard who increases the points and assists.
main means.
Unfortunately, the triangle offensive tactic also uses pick-and-roll coverage, but it is a pick-and-roll screen without the ball. What can a star point guard do without using it?
Fortunately, Su Bei doesn't play point guard, otherwise he would fight Jackson desperately.
Bang-dang——!
Nash automatically fell into the trap and wanted to use offensive firepower to hurt the Lakers and force the Lakers' defense to let go of Stoudemire. However, the touch was too cold and the offensive shot was missed.
