In fact, there is a way to solve the problem on the field. Just let Andrei Kirilenko defend Adrian. Although Kirilenko is thin, there is extremely powerful power hidden in his thin body.
, no matter who it is against, he will not suffer any loss in physical confrontation.
He is similar in height to Adrian and has first-class shot-blocking awareness. He is definitely an excellent candidate to defend Adrian. And today, although Kirilenko can't find the feeling on the offensive end, on the defensive end, he mainly defends
Kobe's performance is pretty good, but Kobe hasn't performed very well so far.
However, if Kirilenko is asked to defend Adrian, who will defend Kobe?
Although Kobe has not performed well so far today, Jerry Sloan still instinctively believes that Kobe is a greater threat. Although Adrian can cause some trouble to the Jazz in the low post, if he is let go for this
The defense against Kobe is really not worth it.
After a period of headache thinking, Jerry Sloan decided to let Deron continue to defend Adrian, while arranging for Boozer to flank when necessary.
In addition, on the offensive end, Jerry Sloan also made his own arrangements.
After the timeout, the Jazz, who were back on the court, began to find a feeling on the offensive end. When Deron broke through with the ball, Okur would first pull out to block Deron, but after blocking, he did not cut into the penalty area but pulled to a three-pointer.
Outside the line. This was followed by Boozer's second pick-and-roll.
Okur's pick-and-roll quality is very average. Adrian can easily bypass it, but with Okur's cover, it will be very difficult to bypass Boozer. Besides, both Okur and Boozer are like that.
The shooters who couldn't give them shooting space immediately caused the Lakers' defensive formation to fall into pieces.
"Shua~~~" Okur raised his hands high from outside the three-point line, and the three-pointer shot directly through the basket.
On the offensive end, the Jazz relied on their excellent pick-and-roll cooperation and air-cutting movements to always find opportunities to attack. Although they were a little embarrassed, they still held on to the score. But on the defensive end, the Jazz still did not expect
How to solve the problem of Adrian falling to a low position.
The flanking attack cannot stop Adrian. Compared to Adrian's speed, Deron and Boozer are both slower, which allows Adrian to easily cut into the inside. At the same time, once Adrian is flanked, he will
Give the basketball to your teammates without hesitation.
Low post offense should be a very necessary tactical component in a team's tactics. A good low post attacker can not only score through low post offense, but also compress the opponent's offense through the pressure he creates in the low post.
Defense, thereby creating more opportunities for your team's three-pointers.
Once the team's three-point shot is opened, the opponent will have to expand the outside defensive range to block the three-point shot. In this way, there will naturally be gaps in the defensive formation, and outside players who are good at breakthroughs can break through more easily.
Scoring. The breakthrough power of outside players increases, which in turn can create a more relaxed environment for low-post players.
If it can be formed, then this will be a huge virtuous cycle. Once one link is opened, the other links will naturally become easier. The purpose of defensive tactics is to destroy this cycle to a large extent.
.
This is why there was always a great inside man in past dynasty teams, because a great inside man can create a huge sense of oppression and lethality in the low post. Although the Bulls dynasty does not have such a great inside man, Jordan himself is a
An extremely powerful low-post killer, his low-post offensive power is considered to be the best low-post attacker in the history of the league. His footwork is comparable to Olajuwon, and his strength is also the top among outside players. Jordan in his heyday was also
It does appear more in the low position.
The first quarter ended quickly, the score on the court reached 24:32, and the Lakers led by 8 points on the road.
Adrian played the entire first quarter and scored 11 points and 2 assists. This was also the first time that he scored more than double digits in a single quarter. In the first quarter, he made 4 of 8 shots and 3 of 4 free throws. His shooting percentage was higher than before.
It is indeed a lot lower, but it is still at 50%, and he takes more shots than in any previous game. In the past games, it was normal for Adrian to take no more than ten shots from the field.
, but today he took eight shots in one quarter. On the contrary, Kobe took fewer shots today. At the beginning of the first quarter, he seemed to have no offensive desire. Except for a few fast breaks in the opening, he was always making moves instead of launching.
Du Li's offense only took three shots in the first quarter and scored four points. However, he recorded four assists.
In addition, Adrian also made two turnovers in the first quarter, both caused by Boozer's attack. Adrian's speed in handling the ball was slow. After all, he was still very unfamiliar with the low post position.
, and more importantly, the field of vision in the low position is too narrow compared to the high position, making it more difficult for Adrian to handle the ball.
But as the game gradually came to an end, Adrian became more and more familiar with the low post and became more comfortable handling the basketball.
During the break, Jerry Sloan was still struggling. At the beginning of the second quarter, Adrian was replaced. Radmanovic came off the bench as small forward, Turiaf served as power forward, and Bynum served as center.
Kobe and Odom were also replaced, replaced by Parker, and Vujacic remained on the court.
This is almost a pure substitute lineup.
People such as Adrian, Kobe, Odom and others all sat off the court to rest. The Jazz did not replace the main lineup, except for replacing Kirilenko, who was in poor condition, and replaced him with veteran Matt Halprin.
Except for this, no other personnel adjustments were made. The main players faced off against the substitutes, and the Jazz began to chase points. Deron Williams held the ball and directly broke through Parker's defense. With his strong body, he pushed forward like a small tank.
After knocking Parker away, he hit a mid-range jumper.
Then he made a wonderful pass to the basket, and Carlos Boozer singled out Bynum. Although Bynum has potential, potential cannot be equated with strength. The immature 'Little Shark' looked weak under Boozer's skillful footwork.
Dizzy, he was easily picked up by Boozer, broke through into the empty penalty area, and hit a dunk.
Then Okur and Brewer also hit mid-range shots and three-pointers one after another, and for a while the Jazz team was like a hundred flowers blooming on the court.
But Vujacic and Radmanovic immediately responded with three-pointers. Turiaf also arrogantly completed a one-man dunk on Boozer's head as a response to Boozer's attack inside.
After all, it couldn't stop the Jazz from getting closer to the score step by step, but it did a good job of draining the energy of the Jazz's main players.
When the game reached the sixth minute, the score on the court had reached 45:40. The Jazz not only erased the eight-point difference, but also went ahead by five points, winning by 13 points in just six minutes.
However, the main players barely got any time to rest. When the Lakers' main players came on the stage with great energy and energy, the Jazz generals immediately seemed a little powerless.
Adrian is still hanging out in the low post. This is Phil Jackson's request. Adrian himself also feels that he feels good in the low post today. Boozer is not a good defensive player. The height difference between Deron and himself is too big.
, Kirilenko needs to pay attention to defending Kobe. The Jazz can't find anyone who can defend him well in the low post. This is also an important reason why Adrian is so comfortable in the low post today. The Jazz does a very poor job of defending the low post.
Well, there is only one Andrei Kirilenko who can be called a strong low-post defender in the entire Jazz team. He can play four positions on the court, and his defensive coverage area is from the three-point line to the basket.
But Kirilenko was injured and not in very good condition. Even when he was on the court, he had to defend Kobe, who was more of a threat.
In the second quarter, Adrian was still difficult to block in the low post. At the same time, after Kobe took a break between quarters and the beginning of the second quarter, he seemed to be getting a little hotter. After catching the ball again, he did not attract the defense.
Then he passed the ball out and chose to do it himself.
Kirilenko was away, and the person who let him go became Brewer. To be honest, Brewer's defense was really not that good. It was just a fake shot and a real sudden move, which successfully deceived Brewer.
He got up and sent the basketball into the basket with an elegant gliding layup.
Then he returned to the offensive end. After teasing Brewer with a fake move again, he stepped on the three-point line with one foot and hit a long-range two-pointer.
Adrian was not to be outdone. He first blocked Deron's layup on the defensive end, and then singled out Carlos Boozer under the basket on the offensive end, successfully causing Boozer to foul. He made two free throws, but more importantly
Unfortunately, with this foul, Boozer had already committed three fouls. Jerry Sloan had to replace Boozer and replace him with rookie Millsap. This substitution had a miraculous effect!
Paul Millsap, like Adrian, was also a rookie in the 2006 class. He was selected by the Jazz with the 47th pick in the second round and signed a three-year rookie guaranteed contract.
As a rookie selected by the Jazz, Paul Millsap has continued the tradition of the Jazz. He is physically strong. Although he is only 203 centimeters tall, he plays the power forward position and seems to be able to take root in this position.
, his strength is evident.
At the same time, although Millsap fell to the second round before being selected, his college qualifications are brilliant. In three seasons at Louisiana Tech, he participated in 92 games and averaged 18.6 points and 12.7 rebounds per game.
, 1.99 blocks and 1.32 steals, with a total score of 1,701 and a total of 1,172 rebounds, ranking 7th and 2nd in school history respectively, and is the first player in the history of the NCAA Division to win the rebounding title three times in a row. Finalist for the Oscar Robertson Award
Nominated and Wooden Award nominee, selected to the first team of Western Athletics.
If it weren't for his height, which really puts him at a disadvantage when playing power forward, Paul Millsap would never have fallen into the second round, and would even have a high chance of being selected in the top five. Even if he had a height problem, he wouldn't have fallen into the second round.
Should fall to the second round, at least as a late pick there is no problem.
Falling into the second round was completely an accident within an accident.
