Phil Jackson suddenly asked for a pick-and-roll offense and for Adrian to return to the point guard position. This arrangement was undoubtedly extremely unexpected. Kobe's face turned extremely ugly in an instant.
Since this season, although the Lakers still retain a certain amount of pick-and-roll tactics in their games, they have never used a real pick-and-roll offense. Even last season, the Lakers never used a pick-and-roll offense during the main time. The Lakers
When playing pick-and-roll offenses, most of the time Kobe Bryant was out due to injury, or was on the bench. Or, Kobe was used as the ball-handling offensive player in the pick-and-roll. During the main time, the Lakers never used Adrian
As a pick-and-roll ball-handling offensive player, he has played a true pick-and-roll offense.
All this is because there are only two most important players in the pick-and-roll offense, one is the point guard who holds the ball and the other is the inside player who cuts in the pick-and-roll. Once this situation really occurs, the biggest problem the Lakers will face
Yes, Kobe Bryant, the biggest star of the Los Angeles Lakers and one of the best scorers in the league, will be reduced to a dispensable second attacker or even an open shooter.
This is not a deliberate neglect but the inevitable result of the thorough implementation of the pick-and-roll offense. Last season, Adrian always paid attention to maintaining Kobe's ball rights. Even when the pick-and-roll was the most thorough, Adrian
Derian will still leave enough core shots for Kobe to perform singles.
But this year...
After re-debuting, the Lakers replaced two people, veteran fisherman Fisher. On the one hand, he is relatively old and his playing time should not be too long. Among the main lineup, Fisher is often the first to be replaced.
That one. But the real reason is that if Adrian wants to return to the point guard position, Fisher is not tall enough to assume any position other than the point guard. In addition, his performance today is really not good enough.
Great. Rajon Rondo is not the kind of point guard who can lock down the ball with a normal degree of muscle blockage. His sharp and quick breakthroughs make Fisher's steps seem more and more sluggish.
Another substitution was at the shooting guard position. Radmanovic, whose playing time was suddenly shortened this season, once again got the opportunity to play. At the same time, Vujacic also appeared on the field together. Kobe was replaced and Fisher was replaced.
, replaced by two pure three-point shooters. This is completely prepared for the pick-and-roll offense. Andrew Bynum served from the baseline, and the basketball came directly into Adrian's hands.
Adrian's first feeling of regaining possession of the ball was that he was happy, and the second feeling was that he was very happy. The Los Angeles Lakers fielded such a tall lineup. The Celtics' defensive formation also had to adjust accordingly.
- Rondo became the choice to directly defend Adrian.
There is nothing that can be done about this. If Paul Pierce continues to guard Adrian, neither Ray Allen nor Rajon Rondo can stop Radmanovic from easily shooting over their heads. This
It has nothing to do with strength, it is purely a height advantage.
However, Rivers still roared loudly on the sidelines, indicating that Ray Allen must resolutely help Rajon Rondo defend Adrian. As for Vujacic, there is not much danger if he puts it aside. His open three-pointer
His ability is not very stable and it is difficult to cause piercing damage to the Boston Celtics.
Adrian dribbled the ball at the three-point line, his head held high. This was his habit when controlling the ball. He held his head high. He used his broad eyes to scan the entire court from the three-point line, looking for something.
He is looking for gaps in defensive rotations that can deliver a fatal blow. As for ball control, he has full confidence in his ball sense.
Rajon Rondo initially lowered his body and faced Adrian in a standard defensive posture, but he soon discovered that it was very stupid to adopt this defensive mode. Adrian was too tall. The two of them were in height.
There was already a gap of eighteen centimeters, which allowed Adrian to work on top of him unscrupulously. If he lowered his body, there would be no way to interfere with Adrian's shooting.
At the moment when Rajon Rondo straightened his back slightly, Adrian suddenly broke through.
Adrian was keenly aware of the change in Rajon Rondo's mentality and posture when he was defending himself. Seizing the moment of this change in posture, Adrian chose to break through without hesitation and rush to the inside.
Rajon Rondo had lost the opportunity to defend immediately and could only follow in Adrian's footsteps.
Rushing to the free throw line, Adrian's body suddenly stopped suddenly and his hand holding the ball rose slightly.
"It's time to shoot!" Rajon Rondo jumped up suddenly and raised his hand to block Adrian. When he saw Adrian's feet were firmly nailed to the ground like nails, he
My heart couldn't help but tighten.
Adrian took another step forward, and Kevin Garnett inside had to choose to let go of Pau Gasol to defend Adrian. The moment Garnett made the save, Adrian did not hesitate.
passed the ball.
Pau Gasol caught the basketball and scored an easy layup.
"Damn it!" Garnett cursed fiercely and yelled at Rajon Rondo: "Rajon, please be serious!"
A look of confusion flashed across Rajon Rondo's face, but the next moment he nodded and ran to the baseline to receive the serve.
In the frontcourt, Rajon Rondo motioned for everyone to pull away and let him play a single goal. The Big Three did not have any overreaction to his younger brother's request. As long as the overall performance is good, the Celtics' style of play, especially
It is quite free on the offensive end. Rivers is obviously not a coach who is good at coaching offense. The Celtics' offensive end relies more on the genius cooperation between the Big Three. Usually one person attracts defensive firepower for the others.
People create good open opportunities, but individual isolations are also common.
Therefore, although the Celtics are called a whole, their integrity is only reflected on the defensive end. The selflessness of the Big Three on the offensive end constitutes their integrity, not on the tactical level.
Adrian stared at Rajon Rondo: "You can try shooting. I think you may have a good touch today. Maybe you can really hit a three-pointer."
"Shut up!" Rondo cursed fiercely.
Adrian was surprised by Rajon Rondo's reaction. He couldn't tell that Rajon Rondo had such a bad feeling for him. He then smiled, lowered his body and pressed towards Rondo.
Defending Rajon Rondo is very simple, because his regular options are one less than ordinary people. Pass, break through, and shoot. It is completely impossible for Rajon Rondo to shoot from the three-point line unless his brain is in control.
If passing and breakthrough are just defense, Adrian's defensive tasks will undoubtedly become much easier. Of course, more importantly, Rajon Rondo relies on the speed and speed to break through other people's defenses.
Strong, but not enough in front of Adrian.
After several attempts in a row, Rajon Rondo not only failed to successfully break through from Adrian, but was forced to stop the ball by Adrian. Ray Allen immediately slipped out from the baseline to prepare for Rajon.
- Rondo and Paul Pierce also came up from the other side. But the difference is that Ray Allen has used Garnett's pick-and-roll to get rid of Vujacic's follow-up.
Rajon Rondo immediately chose to pass to Ray Allen, but his passing intention was too urgent and too obvious.
"Crack!"
Adrian's gambling steal was successful. Rajon Rondo immediately pounced on him to regain the ball. Adrian hit the ball hard with one hand, and at the same time, he exerted force with his left foot, and his whole body spun like a top.
It went around behind Rajon Rondo, and at the same time, the basketball passed between Rajon Rondo's legs and just returned to Adrian's hands again.
"Wow..."
Although it was in TD North Shore Garden, the fans still screamed in the stands. This dribble was full of imagination. It was a crotch-crossing extra pass, especially when such a dribble appeared on Adrian.
It gives people an unreal feeling as if they were watching O'Neal hit a three-pointer.
Adrian has never been the kind of player who passes the ball very flashy. In his rookie season, the first impression he gave people was always strong and European style, solid, pursuing practicality and not caring about beauty or not. He has the best level.
Physical fitness but never pursuing dunks...
However, they reacted almost instantly, and boos suddenly rang out from the TD North Shore Garden. Rajon Rondo's black face turned purple. After passing Rajon Rondo, Adrian immediately pulled down and pulled
Rondo was chasing after Adrian, and the distance between the two was extremely short, giving Rajon Rondo the illusion that he could catch up if he just worked harder.
At the three-point line, Adrian suddenly stopped and raised his hand to shoot the basketball. Rajon Rondo immediately jumped up to block the shot.
"careful!"
"Stop!"
The ones who exclaimed were Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, who were also chasing after them. They immediately screamed. Rajon Rondo couldn't tell, but these two veterans who have been immersed in the league for many years
But it is clear that this is a trap!
But it was too late, Rajon Rondo had already taken off. Although after hearing the shouts of the two people, Rajon Rondo also realized what was going on and tried hard to retract the arm that had been swung out, but Ah
Derian won't give him a chance to regret.
"Bang!" Rajon Rondo's hand hit Adrian's arm, and the baseline referee's whistle sounded immediately. At the same time, Adrian also shot the basketball in his hand.
Bang
Oh~~~
The basketball jumped twice on the basket and finally fell into the basket.
