() Pau Gasol served a sideline ball near the center line. Adrian was originally standing near the free throw line. At the moment Gasol was about to serve, he suddenly moved toward the baseline. Gasol immediately sent the basketball over, Russia ak47
Kirilenko followed closely behind Adrian. Adrian caught the ball and half turned inward, then turned back sharply. This action allowed Adrian to throw away Kirilenko who was rushing too hard.
Ke, rush to the basket.
Okur under the basket immediately rushed towards Adrian, and at the same time Carlos Boozer on the other side also double-teamed him. At this moment, Adrian attracted the defense of three people. Adrian suddenly threw the basketball
It was thrown to the outside, and there, at the three-point line, Kobe Bryant caught the basketball. He took off and shot a completely uninterrupted open shot. Such a big opportunity, Kobe Bryant had to seize it in real time.
It's easier.
A solid three-pointer.
After Kirilenko hit the free throw, the Lakers suddenly launched a 10:1 offensive shock wave, instantly widening the score gap to 8 points. Jazz coach Sloan quickly called a timeout to readjust the team's defense.
After adjustments, the Jazz still couldn't stop the Lakers' scoring chaos.
After hitting the three-pointer, Kobe Bryant started his own scoring mode. He launched consecutive singles from the left side of the three-point line and made 3 of 4 shots. He also caused a defensive foul on Kirilenko's head and made a free throw.
He made 2 of 2 free throws and scored six consecutive points, widening the score gap between the two sides to more than double digits.
Jerry Sloan called a timeout again. After that, both sides attacked and defended themselves, which continued until the end of the first quarter. The Lakers still maintained a 7-point lead at 38:31. If it weren't for Deron Williams's first quarter
Finally, he hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer, otherwise the Lakers could enter the second quarter with a double-digit lead. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Utah Jazz took the lead in attacking. Kirilenko continuously broke into the paint and caused
After Andrew Bynum committed two fouls, the Lakers had to replace Andrew Bynum and replace him with Chris Mihm as center, and took advantage of the timeout to attack the Lakers' next defense.
Some arrangements, especially emphasis on Adrian's task of protecting backcourt rebounds.
This summer's trade has indeed greatly improved the Lakers' offensive power. But at the same time, after losing Kwame Brown and Ronny Turiaf, the Lakers' defensive hardness has also dropped sharply. Andrew
-Although Bynum has taken the lead this season, he is still too immature after all. His defense in the paint is indeed not bad, but his offense is too rough. In addition to the second offense of grabbing offensive rebounds, he has been receiving the ball under the basket.
When it comes to dunking directly after an assist, his other offensive methods are very uncertain. At the same time, his defense is too rough and he can easily be fouled by targeted players. As for Chris Mihm, to be honest, his strength is really not that good.
In this way. Bynum is not mature enough to support the inside, and Chris Mihm is completely lacking in strength. If the Lakers couldn't find a suitable veteran inside to sign in the free market, they wouldn't be able to do so.
Will re-sign Chris Mihm.
Chris Mihm's defensive ability is naturally not as good as Bynum's, but he still has one advantage over Bynum, that is, he has a certain mid-range shooting ability, which has no effect compared to leaving the basket.
Bynum comes. Chris Mihm can better clear the basket for outside players. But on defense, especially in the protection of backcourt rebounds, Chris Mihm, who has experienced serious injuries, obviously
It is no longer possible to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
This also forced Adrian to put more of his energy into protecting backcourt rebounds. Carlos Boozer of the Jazz was an offensive rebounder.
The second offense is Carlos Boozer's specialty.
Although Carlos Boozer is not tall and his jumping is not very strong, his ability to get stuck under the basket is extremely strong. His pillar-shaped figure allows him to easily occupy a good position under the basket without letting others
People push themselves. Although Pau Gasol has a height advantage, in the competition for the position under the basket, it is often difficult to compete with Carlos Boozer, and those who can compete with Carlos Boozer in strength
, only Adrian can take on this task among the Lakers.
Adrian fought against Carlos Boozer several times under the basket, and he quickly felt the ability of this 206-centimeter strong power forward to get stuck under the basket. It was not just his strength and strength that allowed him to play in the basket.
He can easily get stuck in a favorable position under the basket, and more importantly, his sense of rebounding is very keen. Often the basketball has just been thrown. He only needs to take a glance, and before the basketball bounces, he has already started to fight for a favorable position.
.
In order to prevent him from acting recklessly under the basket, Adrian had to fight with him with all his strength for every inch of space under the basket. Because Adrian did not have any natural talent in judging the trajectory of rebounds. So in the basket
In the competition for the lower position, and in the fight for rebounds, he must spend more effort and physical strength.
However, the effect of such efforts is also very obvious. In the second quarter, Adrian not only grabbed six rebounds in a single quarter, including two offensive rebounds, but only allowed Carlos Boozer to grab one offensive rebound.
, I just entered and was destroyed by Adrian.
As for the Utah Jazz, they faced the worst situation. They failed to take advantage of the opportunity when Andrew Bynum left the game due to foul trouble to create a space in the Lakers' interior and narrow the score gap between the two sides. Instead, they failed to take advantage of the situation.
The Lakers scored consecutively, further widening the score gap.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers entered the locker room with a 59:45, 14-point lead. At the beginning of the second half, perhaps because there were too many games in the first half, both Kobe and Gasol were a little bit nervous at the beginning of the second half.
There was a lack of shots, but Adrian launched an attack on the Utah Jazz from the low post.
The Jazz's candidate to guard Adrian is small forward Russian ak47 Andrei Kirilenko. Kirilenko's physical fitness and defensive ability don't need to be much, but he is too thin. Kirilenko is so skinny.
Kirilenko is like a spear. Fighting against Adrian is extremely tiring for him, especially in low-post offensive and defensive battles that require muscle confrontation. Kirilenko is often used by Adrian with his body.
The superiority on the ball forced him to the side without causing any interference to Adrian's layup. The Jazz had to arrange for Carlos Boozer to double attack Adrian.
Phil Jackson conducted a series of enlightenment work for Adrian who did not pass the ball some time ago. Although Adrian has now realized the importance of scoring in this era, this does not mean that Adrian will
His passing talent points were washed away, even in the low post, even when double-teamed by two people, with Pau Gasol, a beacon-like passing target, so conspicuous, Adrian was
You can still pass good balls in the low post.
Therefore, Pau Gasol, who was a little quiet at the beginning of the second half, once again showed off his power, shooting mid-range shots, fadeaway jumpers, and turning hooks. He scored six points in a row, which forced the Utah Jazz to give up their strategy of double-teaming Adrian.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers once again expanded their lead, from a fourteen-point lead at 59:45 to a twenty-two-point lead at 96:74. This gap was not narrowed again until the middle of the fourth quarter.
Within 20 points. Jerry Sloan chose to give up in this situation. He replaced the entire main lineup. Then the Lakers also replaced all the main lineup, and even the water dispenser keeper was sent on the court.
, the game entered garbage time.
107:98. After defeating the Utah Jazz, the Lakers have ushered in three consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season, becoming one of the teams with the best opening record in the league this season, especially the Lakers' new season opening against the Rockets.
In the case of a team that has made huge changes and enhancements, an offensive team like the Suns, and a veteran team in the Western Conference playoffs like the Jazz, especially in two of the three games, the Lakers have an absolute advantage.
Defeating the opponent under different circumstances makes the Lakers' three-game winning streak even more valuable.
"The stars of the Purple and Gold Dynasty shine, writing a new era for the alliance"
"Gasol shines, Kupchak deserves 100 points"
All kinds of compliments and compliments come one after another like flowers and wine after a victory, which is dazzling. Continuous victories can indeed cover up many contradictions. At least during this period of time, it is difficult for the Lakers to see the weirdness of the previous period.
In the isolated atmosphere, Luke Walton, Bynum, and Radmanovic also had a little more smiles on their faces when greeting Adrian. However, Adrian has not forgotten his experience playing with the Lakers.
Adrian was unhappy about this incident, and the news that came later made Adrian even more unhappy.
After the home game against the Jazz, Adrian received a call from his agent Ryan.
"Why are you so anxious to come to me and meet me directly? What's the important thing?"
"It's like this Ed, Unilever is not satisfied with your change of position on the court." Ryan paused: "They said they would not rule out the possibility of requesting a modification of the contract."
Adrian immediately raised his head, his sharp eyes looking straight at Ryan: "How did you answer them?"
"I told them that they have no such right. No one has the right to modify the contract alone before the contract expires. But Ed..." Ryan hesitated, but continued: "Since this time
Your role in the Lakers has completely changed, and your commercial value will be increasingly affected. Unilever is just testing this time, but if the situation continues..."
"I know." Adrian stood up a little irritably: "My current situation is not good, I know this, but what can I do!" (To be continued., Welcome to the starting point (
