() Tangled, struggling, as if fighting in a quagmire.
The game was not very intense, because there were not many fouls, and the defensive actions of both sides were not very large. But in contrast to the less intense defensive attitude, the scores of both sides continued to rise alternately.
The Suns' scoring points seemed scattered, with Steve Nash 4 points, Shawn Marion 8 points, James Jones 5 points, Boyce Diaw 4 points, Kent Thomas 2 points, Lindero Ba
Bosa scored 9 points and Stoudemire 4 points. After being blocked by Adrian, he made another shot.
In the second quarter, Phil Jackson called a timeout and adjusted the team's lineup. At the small forward position, Vladimir Radmanovic replaced Trevor Ariza.
Vladimir Radmanovic does not have as strong an impact as Ariza, but he has the long-range shooting ability that Ariza does not have. When Vladimir came on the court, he did not follow Phil Jackson's previous
It was arranged for Trevor Ariza to frequently participate in pick-and-rolls and wait for opportunities to cut down, but instead cruised on the three-point line, becoming a three-point fortress similar to Sasha Vujacic's function.
When Vladimir comes on the court and stands on the three-point line with Sasha Vujacic, he can open up space for the Lakers to break through.
Although Vladimir did not get enough playing time for a long time, and for a while he even suffered an internal suspension from the Lakers. When he came on the court today, Staples even booed sporadicly.
He was dissatisfied with Radmanovic's unprofessional professional attitude.
However, Vladimir, who understood where he had made a terrible mistake, did not give up on himself and relax. Instead, he trained harder and harder to express himself, hoping to use his excellent performance in training to impress Phil Jackson and regain Phil Jackson's reputation.
-Jackson's trust.
Radmanovic's attitude is quite good, and his efforts have indeed paid off. Phil Jackson has turned his attention to him again, and he is also a person who is good at seizing opportunities. Especially today. Sa
Shah Vujacic took on the heavy responsibility of outside three-pointers, but Vujacic obviously did not have enough ability.
It's okay to let him shoot three-pointers occasionally. As a stable three-pointer, Vujacic's stability is obviously not enough. From the first quarter to now, he has wasted several opportunities. If Radman
If Norwich can successfully seize this opportunity, he will definitely get more reuse in the next step.
When Adrian's pick-and-roll pass was passed to Odom, he was immediately flanked by James Jones and Boyce Diaw. Odom clearly noticed Radmano, who was basically open on the outside.
Vicki immediately handed the basketball into his hands.
Taking a deep breath, Radmanovic adjusted, then jumped slightly and pushed the basketball out steadily with both hands.
The basketball penetrated the net with a swipe!
Vladimir raised his arm high and stretched out three fingers. A smile appeared on his face. Opportunities will only be given to those who are prepared, and Vladimir Radmanovic is one of them.
He is a prepared person, and he is also a person who is good at seizing opportunities.
Subsequently, Radmanovic shot another five basketballs, another shot and a three-pointer. One of them was a direct assist from Adrian, which beat James Jones. Staples
The sporadic boos for Radmanovic disappeared. Instead, there was applause that, although not intense, was sincere.
For the Lakers, the benefit of Vladimir's performance is not just to have a more stable scoring point. When Radmanovic shoots from the outside, Adrian and Odom suffer
The defensive pressure was suddenly reduced a lot, which allowed the Lakers' offense to be smoother and made the cooperation between Love and Odom more concise and easy.
But the Suns are not far behind in terms of offense. The little bully Stoudemire unexpectedly showed great destructive power in the interior. It seems that he was not affected by injuries. His air cuts and pulls in the interior also contributed to the success of the Suns.
The outside players opened up shooting space.
Inside and outside, as long as one side plays well, the other side will play more easily. The pick-and-roll cooperation between Adrian and Odom disrupted the Suns' inside line, which Radmanovic will not bear.
There was too much defensive pressure. And Radmanovic's accurate shooting also allowed Adrian to reduce many constraints when breaking through the inside.
The Suns are the same in this regard. Stoudemire's performance in the paint plays a crucial role, allowing the Suns' inside and outside to mingle.
"I really didn't expect that this game would be so anxious." In the commentary box, two commentators from tnt also felt the unwillingness of both sides to give in. Charles Barkley said: "Kenny, before the game, you said that the Lakers
Each game will be based on defense. But so far, it seems that the Lakers have not improved much in defense in this game. On the contrary, in terms of offense. Before the game started, we all thought that the Lakers would have greater offensive power after losing Kobe.
Discounting, but now it seems that although their lineup lacks Kobe, a super scorer, they can actually be evenly matched with the Suns in terms of offense."
"That's true." Kenny Smith nodded and said: "Although without Kobe Bryant, a super scorer, in the team's lineup, the Lakers have also given up the triangle offense they insisted on in the past. But it seems that the Lakers have started a pick-and-roll offense.
There has been no decrease in offensive power at all. Adrian's performance is really outstanding. Although he has only scored 6 points in 5 shots so far, his scoring efficiency is not very high, but in the pick-and-roll offense, he appears to be outstanding.
Like a fish in water, the Lakers played better as a whole."
"Kenny, tell me." Charles Barkley's eyes shone: "Is it possible for the Lakers to trade Kobe."
"ah?"
"Trade Kobe and rebuild with Adrian as the core." Charles Barkley became more and more excited, and the fat lips on both sides flew up and down: "Abandon the triangle offense that we insisted on in the past, and use the pick-and-roll as the main body.
reconstruction."
"This shouldn't be possible."
"Then do you think it's possible for Kobe to integrate into the Lakers' current tactics?"
Integrating into the Lakers' current tactics? The core of the Lakers' pick-and-roll is clearly Adrian and Odom. If Kobe is allowed to integrate, then he can only be a fixed-point shooter like Sasha Vujacic waiting for the ball on the outside. Even when attacking
No matter how biased the power is, it can't change the embarrassment of Kobe's status...
Kenny Smith shook his head, but in his mind, he denied the possibility of Kobe Bryant integrating into the pick-and-roll offense.
"If Kobe Bryant returns, the Lakers will probably return to the triangle offense. After all, the pick-and-roll offense is just a tactic the Lakers use when they have no choice. The triangle offense is the basic tactic they insist on."
"Hehe, who knows what will happen before the end?"
Of course, the discussion between the two commentators could not be heard by the players on the court. The game quickly entered the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Lakers replaced Bynum and Turiaf as substitutes.
Inside, let Kwame Brown and Lamar Odom get enough rest time.
The Suns took the lead in launching a wave of offensive. First, Lindero Barbosa hit a three-pointer, and then Steve Nash broke into the paint and caused a foul by Bynum, who had just appeared, and also scored 2.
+1, scored three points with consecutive shots and free throws. Adrian caused Stoudemire to foul in return. After two free throws, Trevor Ariza completed another steal and assisted Vujacic with a long pass for a layup.
Stoudemire, another core player of the Suns, was also not to be outdone. He made two consecutive shots near the Lakers' free throw line, followed by an air cut into the penalty area and received an assist from Steve Nash for an alley-oop dunk. Finally,
It hit a 12:4 shock wave, widening the score gap with the Lakers in one fell swoop, temporarily leading the Lakers by 5 points at 82:87.
Seeing that the sun seemed to be rising, Phil Jackson immediately called a timeout.
"Adrian, how are you? Do you want to take a rest?" Phil Jackson asked with concern as soon as Adrian sat down.
To be honest, Adrian really felt a little tired today. So far, he has played the most minutes among the Lakers players. Although Phil Jackson deliberately reduced his defensive pressure, just to allow him to maintain more
He devoted his physical strength and energy to the attack. But after all, he ran on the court for more than thirty minutes, which was a huge drain on his physical strength.
Adrian looked up at the score, calculated it in his mind, and finally nodded: "Just three minutes."
He really needs to rest. The game has entered the last quarter, and he needs to play his role even more. Instead of dragging his body with no physical strength and running on the court, it is better to take the opportunity to rest for a while. Although three minutes is short, but with Ah
Adrian's own recovery ability is enough to restore a lot of his physical strength. In this way, Adrian will appear on the scene later with restored physical strength and full of energy.
Phil Jackson nodded, and then instructed Jordan Farmar to come on as a substitute, taking Adrian's place. At the same time, Adrian also saw the situation on the opposite side, and Steve Nash was also substituted.
Rested, but Steve Nash lay directly on the floor.
Adrian then remembered that Steve Nash was similar to him. He ran on the court for more than thirty minutes, and Steve Nash also ran for nearly thirty minutes! (To be continued., Welcome.
