The offensive strength of the Lakers is indeed very small. When they arrived at their home court, Andrew Bynum also dared to show off his inside line and played very hard. Yao Ming got two fouls because of defense and was forced to After the rest, after changing to Coupard, the defensive effect is better, but Coupard's offensive ability is not enough. Serge Ibaka is not as good as Kurt Thomas' defensive effect against Pau Gasol. .welcome to read

At this time, you can see the role of experience. Although Serge Ibaka is in good physical condition, jumps his feet, and responds well, it is a bit too easy for an experienced player like Pau Gasol. I was deceived. It can often be seen that Pau Gasol can trick Serge Iba into jumping with only a very simple fake action. Then Pau Gasol stops and throws the ball, and no one blocked.

But if Serge Ibal doesn't jump, Pau Gasol can shoot directly, because Serge Ibaka's experience is too poor, and he won't wait until Pau Gasol's moves are old enough to jump up, if he doesn't When jumping up, Pau Gasol will shoot directly.

Although Kurt Thomas is not as good as Serge Ibaka in terms of height, wingspan, and jumping, he has rich experience. Although there is a big gap with Pau Gasol in height and wingspan, he can make him It is difficult for Pau Gasol to raise his hand, and even if Pau Gasol raises his hand in the air, he can affect the stability of Pau Gasol below and make it difficult for him to shoot.

So defense is not about chasing the ball. This is what Stephen once said to Serge Ibaka, and Serge Ibaka also listened to it. It is difficult to change, so Kurt Thomas still has value in the team at present, and the Sonics are also using the old idea to let Kurt Thomas pass on his own defensive experience as much as possible. On the one hand, Kurt Thomas has not been as dedicated to young people as Robert Horry. [

This is normal, because the team did not give Kurt Thomas another salary because of this, so whether to teach or not depends entirely on Kurt Thomas' self-consciousness. It is not that Kurt Thomas does not teach, but what he can do is Occasionally point out a few words to Serge Ibaka during training, but refuse to do the rest.

But even so, Serge Ibaka has benefited a lot, because he only came into contact with formal basketball training in the French league, and France is not a top club, so it is very poor from the foundation. Now It's just making up for his foundation. An inside player needs at least one or two seasons of growth to usher in his maturity. If Yao Ming has both offense and defense, it will take a long time.

This time is the time for the Sonics to focus on outside offense, because there are no good offensive players inside, and Coupard can only be used as a supplementary point for tactics at best, so that the inside does not have any offensive ability, and cannot be used as an inside offense. The main force, his strong play ability is okay against those weak inside teams, but not against strong inside teams like the Lakers.

At this time, the Sonics began to focus on the outside, and Stephen gradually began to exert strength, while the Los Angeles Lakers focused on the inside. Andrew Bynum had a slight advantage over Coupard, but it was not obvious. The main force of the offense became Paul Gasol, whenever he wants to help Serge Ibaka, Paul Gasol will pass the ball to Andrew Bynum, after two such losses, Coupard will only Can watch Serge Ibaka being bullied by Pau Gasol.

Stephen was dribbling the ball unhurriedly. Suddenly, the desire to shoot came up. He picked up the ball and shot it without hesitation. Although it was still more than one meter away from the three-point line, it seemed When Stephen made a shot, the Staples Center was booed immediately, but when the ball flew into the basket, the boos all over the sky stopped, and this can also be scored?As fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, they have seen many magical performances, such as shooting long-range three-pointers. If they are not prepared, they will not be able to shoot in an emergency. Most of the cases are the latter.

Like Stephen, it was a temporary idea, and it was really rare to shoot as soon as it was picked up. The main thing is that they still made shots. The Lakers had already expanded the point difference to more than [-] points. Stephen made this three-pointer. After scoring, the point difference was narrowed to eight points.

Looking back, Kobe Bryant scored two points with a very simple fadeaway jumper, widening the point difference to [-] points, but Stephen just received the ball from Earl Watson, took two steps, and came to the position just now , Trevor Ariza originally stepped back, preparing to prevent Stephen from breaking through, but seeing this scene, he was shocked, and hurriedly rushed over at the fastest speed, but it was too late, Stephen had already jumped up and threw the ball Voted again.

It was another three-pointer, and the point difference was narrowed to seven points. The Lakers fans had no intention of booing, at least it seemed that booing was useless. After the shot, he suddenly passed the ball again, to Derek Fisher, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, and Derek Fisher made a powerful three-pointer, which was as accurate and misleading as if a jng precision guidance system was installed. flew into the basket.

After returning, as soon as Stephen received the ball, Kobe Bryant suddenly rushed over from the side with a diagonal stab to grab the ball in Stephen's hands. Stephen took the ball back, but Kobe Bryant did not stop at all As a sign, both hands slammed onto Stephen's arm and took the ball out of Stephen's hand, but this kind of action is no longer allowed in basketball, so even if the referee wants to favor him, there is no reason , came over and sentenced Kobe Bryant to a foul.

This was only the first foul committed by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second quarter, so Stephen didn't make a free throw. The Sonics had to re-serve the ball, but after Stephen got the ball again, he was about to speed up and make a breakthrough. Jumping over, Stephen didn't even escape, and was fouled by the Los Angeles Lakers again.

This time there was still no free throw, and the Sonics re-served the ball. After two fouls, the Lakers finally did not foul, but the Sonics' attack time was less than ten seconds, and at this time the Los Angeles Lakers also strengthened themselves The offense, especially the defense against Stephen, Stephen had to pass the ball to Damien Wilkins, because Trevor Ariza and Kobe Bryant were both defending Stephen, Damien Will Kings was defensive, but even so, his shot missed and the rebound was grabbed by Pau Gasol.

Pau Gasol's first-pass awareness is almost top-notch among interior players, and Tim Dungarnett is probably the only one who can compete with him. As soon as he got the rebound, he threw the ball Throwing it in front of Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant didn't even need to look back to know that Pau Gasol would pass the ball, speed up immediately, and hold the ball just as it fell, but this At this moment, Stephen also galloped over from one side at the fastest speed.

When Kobe Bryant received the ball, Stephen also posted it. Stephen did not foul impulsively, but tried to delay Kobe Bryant's speed as much as possible, but at this time the referee suddenly blew his whistle and gave Stephen made a pulling foul. Fortunately, Stephen was in front of Kobe Bryant. The referee didn't have enough confidence for this foul, so he didn't dare to give Stephen a technical foul.

But even so, it caused Stephen's strong dissatisfaction, and entangled with the referee for a long time. No matter what Stephen said, the referee kept shaking his head and smiling, and he was not angry anyway, but it was impossible to change the judgment, and Stephen had no choice but to resent Then he returned to the game. At this time, Kobe Bryant had already finished the first free throw, and then he also made the second free throw.

It was the Sonics' turn to attack. Since Damien Wilkins wasted a great opportunity just now, Carlesimo replaced him again and replaced him with Russell Westbrook. It's not that Russell Westbrook is bad, but you can't be biased to such an extent. Damien Wilkins doesn't please you, but you can't dislike it. In the game, it's just an empty basket, and he has to be replaced.

As soon as Earl Watson got the ball, he saw Derek Fisher approaching him, and immediately passed the ball to Stephen. After Stephen got the ball, he didn't hesitate, and immediately handed it to Russell Westbrook. On the one hand, the defensive pressure is all on his side, and he has a good chance on his side. On the other hand, Stephen also wants to see how Russell Westbrook will handle the ball.

What people didn't expect was that as soon as he got the ball, Russell Westbrook lowered his head and started rushing towards the basket. Coupard didn't care about him this time. He not only made room for him, but also helped He blocked the people behind him, Russell Westbrook jumped up as soon as he approached the basket, his raised hand froze in the air, and then slid towards the basket. Sel Westbrook flicked his wrist and dunked the ball into the basket.

Although the goal was scored, no one from the Sonics team celebrated with Russell Westbrook. Even Stephen just stood aside and looked at it before returning. Russell Westbrook at this time Only then did he feel something was wrong, but he also felt aggrieved in his heart. You passed the ball to me, didn’t you let me take the shot? Why did you pass it to me if you didn’t let me take the shot? .

After returning, the Los Angeles Lakers continued to focus on the inside. Pau Gasol took advantage of the opportunity of Andrew Bynum to transfer Coupard out, squeezed abruptly to the basket, and faced Serge Ibaka, who had a significant height gap. , Pau Gasol didn't even have to jump, and scored two points with a small hook. [

As soon as Stephen dribbled the ball past the midfield, before he could start attacking, Trevor Ariza shot at him again, but this time the referee didn't call him a foul and let him poke the ball out of Stephen's hands , but Stephen immediately threw himself to the ground and held the ball in his arms again.

Trevor Ariza came over and wanted to grab it again. Stephen saw that he was lying on the ground and couldn't dodge. He was in his sight and could hardly see his teammates. He had to rely on his memory and judgment to send the ball to The side of the basket was thrown over, and he thought that if he didn't make a goal, he might hit the rebound. Naturally, he would not violate the 24-second violation. Who knew that before Stephen got up, he would know that the goal had been scored just by hearing the audience's exclamation. .

In fact, Stephen said that it was not completely Mongolian. After judging the distance and direction, he relied on his own feeling of the basket to shoot the ball. It depends on God's will to enter.

Going in, it is naturally God's will on Stephen's side, such a miraculous way of scoring, even the Lakers fans were amazed, and the big screen above the court was playing back the guy lying on the ground over and over again, basically In the first half of the shot with their backs to the basket, the players on the Sonics side also stood up, cheering for the boss's magic performance.

At this time, Phil Jackson stood up and called a timeout. When such an incredible thing happened, the opponent's morale was naturally high. They didn't call a timeout throughout the first half. They were just waiting for this time. After Phil Jackson called the timeout , the Lakers served the ball and started to play from the triangle offense. The Sonics' defense was very good. When there were only ten seconds left in the attack time, Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball, suddenly called a timeout. A long pause.

ah!Here it is again, the way the Lakers do this really affects people's emotions, at least Stephen is very depressed, and combined with the previous two or three fouls, the Lakers still adopted a defensive method against themselves this time, but it was not so concentrated and harmonious. Close enough, but uncomfortable enough.

Sure enough, after the game restarted, although the Los Angeles Lakers failed to attack, after coming over, as soon as Stephen got the ball, Kobe Bryant came over and fouled Stephen again. Although Stephen dodged, Trevor Ariza came from the side again, under the attack of two people, he was finally fouled by the opponent, but this time Stephen made an offensive move, and finally it was Stephen's turn to make a free throw, but even so, the Lakers also felt very happy It's worth it, because with a player like Stephen, you don't even know what he looks like when he plays at his full strength.

Just like the two long-range three-pointers and the magical shot just now, who would have thought that it would be considered good if one of those three-pointers can be made. Stephen dared to shoot from the same position twice in a row, and he could still make a shot , Who dares to say that he will not hit the third and fourth shots again, so the Lakers immediately used foul tactics to interrupt his shots.

But Stephen can throw the ball in without looking at the basket while laying on the ground. How can people defend? You can’t even explain this kind of thing. Do you dare to let him continue to shoot with Stephen like this? If you defend well , and there is targeting xng, even if you send two people to defend, can it be prevented?

The Lakers have no choice but to use such an ordinary method. You must know that this is their home court, they are wealthy, and they are aristocratic Lakers. How shameful it is to use this method to deal with a player. An act of identity, to be honest, no one is willing to do this, and almost no one in the entire coaching staff agrees, but Phil Jackson pointedly pointed out that conventional defensive methods are basically effective for Stephen, and it cannot be said that they have no effect , but the effect is not obvious.

In the case of the failure of the last game, Stephen will definitely play very hard in this game, so you must not underestimate the opponent at all, and you must be prepared, even if you don't need it at the beginning, but as long as Stephen starts to exert strength, Just foul and add a timeout without hesitation, and we must dispel that fluke mentality.

Although many people disagree, but Phil Jackson's authority in this area is still there. Sure enough, it was okay to say at the beginning of the game, and Stephen's strength can be seen in the second quarter, but at this time there is still no one. It’s embarrassing to be willing to do this. If you want to say that the opponent is attacking, you should play more defensively. This is understandable. If someone doesn’t start attacking, you will foul. It looks silly, especially for those star players. explain.

But at this time, Kobe Bryant carried out Phil Jackson's arrangement without hesitation, because only the opponent knows the opponent. Others don't know how good Stephen is, but Kobe Bryant knows it clearly. He is not convinced. Unconvinced, but it doesn't mean that Kobe Bryant underestimated Stephen.

Sure enough, Trevor Ariza dared to attack after he took the lead, and the fans didn't have any bad reactions to it. Seeing Stephen's strength, and thinking about his success in the last game, even if he did so It sounds a bit embarrassing, so let's be ashamed, it's better than losing the victory, better than losing the Western Conference Championship, or the championship.

So the fans didn't react, but even so, they couldn't stop Stephen's goal, especially the shot lying on the ground. Seeing this, it's worth using any means against Stephen, because you don't know How amazing can he be.

After Stephen made two free throws, the Los Angeles Lakers took advantage of the time to replace Kobe Bryant and Trevor Ariza with Shannon Brown and Sasha Vujacic, with less than three minutes left in the first half. At the end of the time, it seemed that the Lakers planned to carry out the foul tactics thoroughly.

Stephen frowned and curled his lips at the same time. It was really annoying for the Lakers to do this. Although Stephen wanted to adjust his mood, it was not so easy, and he was not allowed to do that on the court.
