() No matter how intense the conversation between the two is, the starting time of the game does not depend on the will of the two. More importantly, both of them must do a good job of warming up before the game, especially Steve Nash. The Suns
Stoudemire has already been injured. If Steve Nash is also injured due to insufficient warm-up, the Suns can simply surrender without playing.
Adrian did not let Kobe change his position to defend Nash this time, but Adrian defended himself. Although Nash's speed was very threatening to Adrian, this was helpless.
Because on the offensive end, the first thing Kobe has to face is the defense of Raja Bell. This chokehold on Kobe in the playoffs last season can be said to have directly led to the Lakers' 3:1 score.
It was the defense that was the culprit of the Suns' three-game comeback despite leading.
Raja Bell is one of the few defenders in the league who can defend Kobe very efficiently. Faced with Raja Bell's defense, Kobe already has to withstand a lot of pressure. Let Kobe face him on the defensive end.
The impact on Nash was too much of a burden for Kobe. There is no doubt that such a configuration will greatly consume Kobe's physical energy, which is not a good thing for the current Lakers.
Therefore, although Adrian may not be very effective in defending Nash, the Lakers still did not arrange mismatch defense.
As for the Lakers, Kwame Brown was assigned to the forward position today. Since entering the playoffs, Andrew Bynum's opportunities to start have become less and less. Although the Lakers are determined to cultivate this player who is said to have "unlimited potential"
Big man, but the playoffs are different from the regular season. Losing one or two games in the regular season is no problem, and you can even take the opportunity to adjust. Losing one or two games in the playoffs will most likely lead to the collapse of the entire series.
Therefore, although Bynum has unlimited potential, when it comes to choosing the starting forward for the playoffs, the more powerful Kwame Brown has become the Lakers' first choice. Later in the season, this trend became apparent.
In the playoffs, Bynum only started one game. In that game, the Lakers also lost to the Nuggets, derailing their planned sweep.
On the one hand, Bynum is too young and too untrustworthy. In the playoffs, where every game is extremely important, even a Zen master who is as calm as a Zen master would not dare to let Bynum accumulate experience on the court.
.On the other hand, if you have found your position and know what you should do, you will not
What should Kwame Brown do? Kwame Brown performed surprisingly well. In the final sprint of the regular season, Kwame Brown averaged 31 minutes of playing time per game. He was able to average a double-double. This is for the Philippines.
It is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Er Jackson.
Kwame Brown easily took the basketball away from the head of veteran Kent Thomas. Compared with the bounce of the two, Kwame Brown was simply bullying an honest man.
After getting the basketball, Adrian pushed forward with the ball. After reaching the high post, he handed the basketball directly to Kobe. He quickly ran to the low post. Steve Nash's face changed. He immediately understood Adrian.
He was preparing to do something. But even if he understood, there was nothing he could do. He could only move to the low post with Adrian, preparing to withstand Adrian's low post singles.
The whole league knows that the Suns' lineup lacks height. After all, they are a team that plays run-and-gun tactics. Their requirements for players are fast, high, explosive, and accurate shooting. Therefore, it is impossible to be like other defense-oriented teams.
The home team piles up several tall inside players on the court like this, and coupled with Steve Nash's natural defensive loopholes, almost any powerful point guard in the league can take advantage of it and produce luxurious statistics.
Of course, Phil Jackson arranged more low-post offensive tactics for Adrian in today's game. If the 'little bully' Stoudemire can play, Phil Jackson will have to be more careful, because Stoudemire
Although Demier is not good at defense, and top defense is always a pain for him, his ability to help defend and block shots is very superb. With his terrifying reactions and jumping ability, he is also a kind of player who attacks the basket.
threaten.
Entering the end of the season, Stoudemire has completely gotten rid of injuries, and his condition has shown an upward trend. After the game against the Rockets, he once scored a terrifying double 20+. It can be said that he is superb.
And he's in great shape.
But now he's injured again...
Don't blame the Lakers for taking advantage of the Suns' shortcomings to develop their own tactics.
Adrian easily got into position in the low post. Nash's pitiful muscles were unable to stop the big and round Adrian. Kobe also passed the ball to Adrian very easily. As long as it was a lob, it was guaranteed that Nash would not be able to stop Adrian.
Derian has encountered basketball before.
Adrian tested it for a moment, then turned around and shot a jumper.
He didn't jump very high, and he was used to taking off with energy due to training. Although Nash jumped up hard and stretched his arms, the huge gap in height made all his efforts in vain.
The palm of his hand couldn't even interfere with Adrian's sight.
With almost no interference, Adrian easily shot the basketball.
Oh~~~
The basketball hit the net in response, adding two points to Adrian and an assist to Kobe himself.
On the sidelines of the basketball court, bitterness appeared on D'Antoni's face. Amare was injured at the wrong time. How could he be injured at a critical moment in the playoffs? This old guy Phil Jackson is just so lucky.
, before he had Jordan and Pippen, then he had Kobe and O'Neal, and now that O'Neal is gone, he has Adrian!
D'Antoni's heart is full of jealousy!
He knows that Phil, an old guy, has identified the Suns' weakness, and is now ready to exploit this weakness of the Suns and fight desperately. But D'Antoni is really difficult to adjust, and he has several ways to limit the Lakers in the low post.
But what if it is restricted?
Having made up for the shortcomings in the low post, the Lakers' high post impact is still very strong, but the Suns really can't take care of both aspects at the same time. Instead of passively adjusting, it is better to stick to their own style of play.
D'Antoni is full of confidence in the Suns' offensive power. This confidence does not come out of thin air. The Phoenix Suns from 2006 to 2008 were definitely the best in the history of the Suns' opposition, and they were also the most powerful in terms of offensive power. Run-and-gun tactics
Its offensive power ranks first in the league. In terms of offensive power alone, not even the crazy Warriors led by Nelson can compete with the Suns.
Although Stoudemire's injury has affected the Suns' interior offensive tactics, for the Suns, who built a team with Steve Nash as the absolute core, as long as Nash is there, they will be able to fight! (To be continued.
