beast basketball

After playing for more than 3 minutes, many people thought that the adjustment of the Los Angeles Lakers was a big bad move, because Yao Ming faced Pau Gasol, and he was too tough when he was not too tough. At the beginning, he dared to fight against Yao Ming at the basket, but after a few rounds, he didn't dare to go in at all, basically hiding from Yao Ming.

Although when it comes to offense, Pau Gasol has a certain advantage, he can easily pull out to shoot, and Yao Ming generally can't keep up, but the shooting percentage outside the basket is definitely not as high as that of the basket. After losing weight, his footsteps have become more flexible, and sometimes he can defend, but once Yao Ming defends, Pau Gasol's shooting rate is very unsatisfactory.

Because Lamar Odom's main task is to defend Stephen, this combination of internal and external defense against Stephen is quite effective, and Phil Jackson strictly ordered him before the game to focus all his energy on Defending Stephen, so Lamar Odom did not dare to come to help defend Yao Ming, only to see Pau Gasol being bullied by Yao Ming.

Phil Jackson was naturally very angry when someone criticized Phil Jackson after Stephen got the highest personal scoring record in the playoffs with his own team in the last game. The ability to win a game, just like Michael Jordan did back then.

Even if there are such players, Michael Jordan is not without anyone who can defend him, like the earliest Chicago Bulls, who have been unable to win the championship for a long time, but have been unable to break through the blockade of the Detroit Pistons. Under his leadership, the "Bad Boy Legion" was the most feared group of bad guys in the league at the time. [

Players who have been maliciously attacked by Bill Lambert, including Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Barkley, and after a thousand names, beat teammate Rhodes Man, even the "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas was beaten by him.

Every time Michael Jordan meets such a group of guys, the game will be like a war, and Joe Dumars is in charge of the frontal confrontation, and the little Isiah Thomas is in charge of harassment, and is also considered to be the best defense against Michael Jordan means of defense.

It wasn't until Michael Jordan learned how to deal with such a defense, coupled with the growth of the team's strength, that he won the championship naturally, and he won three championships. At that time, the Bulls, Michael Jordan was so sharp, Scoring will always be his biggest threat.

His defense is very good, and he has won the best defensive player. Among the outside players, there are only a handful of players who can win this award. Stephen is the first player to win this award as a shooting guard after Michael Jordan. At the same time, Michael Jordan's passing is also very good, as evidenced by seven consecutive triple-doubles. At the same time, Stephen's passing is also very good. The shooting guard's average assists per game is the best evidence in the league, but their two biggest threats are always just scoring.

After all, basketball is a game of scoring, not defending or passing. Defense is for the opponent to score fewer points, and passing is for teammates to score. So why not just score by yourself? In terms of a player When you can put the ball into the basket in any way, all your efforts are effective, unless you can catch up with the opponent's score, otherwise everything will be in vain, without any exception.

Phil Jackson knows that it is difficult for Stephen to defend effectively, but he can't do it without defense, because defending Stephen is the only way to win. If you dare to let Stephen take a shot, the last game is an obvious example. At the beginning of this series, Phil Jackson used fouls and small methods to defend Stephen, but he knew that ordinary conventional methods were basically useless against Stephen.

But now, the league has warned not to continue to use that method, and at the home court of the Sonics, Phil Jackson did not dare to rashly use that method again when the league is clearly not planning to favor the Lakers any more. Then we can only find a way in terms of technology, and the unanimous opinion of the coaching staff after analysis is that simply two outside players double-teaming Stephen will not have any good results. If two people can't do it, then there can only be three people. , Two outside players and one inside player, the effect of three people double-teaming and blocking is definitely good.

In this way, Andrew Bynum can only be dropped from the starting lineup, because with his footsteps and speed, he will definitely not be able to complete such a task, but in this way, Pau Gasol can only be sent to the fifth position. Defending against Yao Ming, thinking that even if Pau Gasol is inferior to Yao Ming in terms of strength, at least he has height and wingspan, so he can't suffer much. As a result, Stephen's defensive effect was not seen, but Pau Gasol's side first Dropped the chain.

To be honest, for a player like Pau Gasol, many Lakers fans, even Phil Jackson, love and hate him. What they love is his comprehensive ability. He can attack independently and connect the ball. team, grabbing rebounds and blocking shots is not a big problem, and at the same time does not compete for the leader's limelight, and is willing to be the team's second; what I hate is Pau Gasol's way of playing, it is really not tough, you are not usually tough It's okay, but you have to be tough when the team needs you to be tough, and Pau Gasol really can't do it.

In the international arena, Pau Gasol can fight against Yao Ming. On the one hand, the rules are different. He can stand still and fight against Yao Ming, so that the strength is not at a disadvantage, but like the rules of the league, he must fight on the move Yes, he couldn't do it.

And Pau Gasol's game attitude is also a bit problematic. You can't say that he doesn't work hard, but he can't be called desperate. He always responds to the game with the same attitude. He has the demeanor of a professional player, but if you want him to contribute more, that's impossible.

After many times of confrontation, Pau Gasol changed his defense against Yao Ming. Seeing that Yao Ming got the ball and began to squeeze himself, Pau Gasol immediately rushed towards Yao Ming viciously. When he was about to come out, he immediately stretched out his hand and hit Yao Ming's arm heavily.

Seeing this, Phil Jackson immediately smiled wryly. This is definitely not a positive expression, but a self-defeating expression. The defensive attitude must be fierce, with the determination that I would rather foul than let you score. , but defense is definitely not just a foul.

According to the rules of the league, a player can only commit a maximum of six fouls, and a player's offenses range from ten to twenty. If you commit fouls every time, you won't be able to play for long. You have to foul and leave the field, and you can only sit on the sidelines and watch the opponent gallop on the field, so defense is by no means a foul.

Sometimes Naixia can foul, or the opponent's free throw percentage is not very good, and if the goal is a must-goal, a tactical foul is required, but this time Yao Ming's offense is just an ordinary offense. Pau Gasol didn't lose his position defensively, and Yao Ming's free throw percentage was as high as [-]%. Basket, not foul.

Fouling in this state is a very irresponsible behavior, but Phil Jackson is not the kind of player who yells at players who do not meet his requirements. Vicki must have scolded him a long time ago. Even if he was replaced by a player like Jeff Van Gundy, he would definitely be replaced immediately, because Jeff Van Gundy absolutely does not allow players to make mistakes on defense, but it is okay to make mistakes on offense. question.

So Phil Jackson just frowned and said nothing. He pays more attention to maintaining the self-esteem of the players. Even if the players have any problems, he just likes to communicate with the players in private off the court, and he will never directly Talking about the players' problems, but letting the players understand their own problems by telling stories, reading books, etc. Of course, if the players can't understand their own problems, it can only prove that the player's understanding is not enough. On this point, Zen Master He will never be merciful, and it is difficult for players without savvy to survive or get a chance under his hands.

Yao Ming easily threw the ball into the basket twice in a row. Free throws are really not a challenging task for him. Although his free throw percentage is not as high as Stephen's, but among the big men , can be regarded as very good, because even for ordinary outside players, a free throw percentage of more than [-]% is relatively good.

Then two more rounds passed, Stephen only took one shot, and after missing, he continued to pass the ball to Yao Ming, making Yao Ming the team's main player. After all, he is the one who has the most advantage now. As for Kevin Duran Special, the feel and state of the last two games are relatively average. Although his chances are quite good, Stephen will not hand him over to him. [

Yao Ming continued to use Pau Gasol as a sandbag to squeeze. Pau Gasol also knew that if he kept fouling, it would be unjustifiable, so he plucked up his courage and fought for two more rounds. After being lazy for a lifetime, his hand immediately slapped Yao Ming's hand involuntarily.

With the sound of "beep", the referee heard it clearly, and people couldn't ignore it. Pau Gasol immediately received his second personal foul. Although the first quarter of the game had gone on for more than 6 minutes, this Getting two fouls within a short period of time is still a bit unreasonable. It may be okay to switch to an ordinary defensive player, but the core of a team like Pau Gasol is obviously a bit too much.
