The Los Angeles Lakers have experienced the dilemma faced by other teams in the past when facing their "ok combination". It should be said that when Yao Ming was about to leave the Rockets, they had also acted. In the team, they are still relatively close to Yao Ming, because the chips they brought out, Andrew Bynum, the Rockets are barely satisfied, but the Rockets let them get another first-round pick and more than 100 million cash At that time, they were unwilling, and the transaction did not take place in the end.

If the deal was completed at that time, Yao Ming and Pau Gasol's inside line would be invincible in the entire league, and Yao Ming's huge commercial value can only be fully reflected in metropolises like Los Angeles and New York. It's a pity that Yao Ming himself is not very willing to come to the Lakers, and their bargaining chips did not impress the Rockets.

Now that Yao Ming is in such a good state, at least half of the teams in the league are regretting it. At that time, other teams were not without chips to impress the Rockets, but most teams felt that Yao Ming's injury was unknown and it was not worth the risk. Such a big risk to gamble.

No one can predict the future. Every general manager is gambling when they offer a big contract. At that time, the Rockets were ready to completely abandon the Yao-Mike combination and prepare to rebuild, except for some cheap players with short contracts. , What I like the most are draft picks and young players, and these are exactly what many teams are unwilling to take out, so in the end Yao Ming was awarded to Seattle, and now many teams regret it.

When the third quarter went on for more than nine minutes, as Yao Ming's physical strength was exhausted, the shooting rate began to decline, but at this time Carlesimo immediately combined the pair of Kuppard and Serge Ibaka Taken up, although the combination of Yao Ming and Kurt Thomas is a little less offensive than defensive, but the Sonics still have a double-digit lead, and Stephen has not yet exerted force in the second half. The battle of Tianwang Mountain has been disliked by many people. [

Because you have nothing to do with the opponent, and your defense against Stephen is not in place, because even if they are double-teamed by three of them, Stephen may not be unable to attack, but there is a better choice. Stephen chose to pass the ball. If you continue Double-team him, and Steph can still pass the ball to someone else, and once Yao Ming gets enough rest to return to the court, the Lakers still have nothing to do.

You have nothing to do with the opponent's offense, but the opponent can defend against your offense. This is the biggest problem for the Lakers. You have to have an advantage in both offense and defense. Otherwise, there is no way to play the game, and In today's game, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol have no advantage at all against each other's inside combination, and their outside line relies on Kobe Bryant's performance under Stephen's defense. It's also not very good. Kobe Bryant only made two of nine shots in the first quarter. Although his touch recovered in the second quarter, he only scored 25 points, and his score has just reached [-] so far.

Although Stephen has only scored 34 points now, Stephen basically didn't take a shot in most of the quarter. He only took two shots and hit a three-pointer with a 50.00% shooting rate, while Kobe Bryant took eleven shots. Hit four times.

If someone can stand up to help him and reduce his defensive pressure, then Kobe Bryant's touch will not be as bad as this, but the Lakers can let it go occasionally except for Derek Fisher. Except for the three-point shot, the other players basically didn't even dare to attack, because they didn't dare to bear Kobe Bryant's censure when the offense missed.

This is Kobe Bryant, he sees the team as himself, he does not allow others to waste opportunities, even Pau Gasol is no exception, of course, Pau Gasol rarely does that, the team's second The head of the family dare not do this, and others are naturally even more afraid, so the team is in the hands of Kobe Bryant most of the time. Even if he passes it to others, others will pass it back quickly. ,

The more the team encounters problems in offense, the more Kobe Bryant will not allow his teammates to waste offensive opportunities, because in his opinion, he is more confident in his own shots, even if his opponent is the best defensive player in the league No exception.

The Lakers' triangle offensive tactic is naturally impossible to play in this situation. When Phil Jackson can bear it, he replaces Kobe Bryant to rest due to physical problems. It was less than 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter, and within more than 1 minute, Stephen scored another [-] points in a row, raising his own score to [-] points.

After Kobe Bryant left the court, the Lakers scored a goal in the first offense. This is Kobe Bryant sitting there with a very ugly face, but sometimes scoring is as simple as that. The Sonics will not be able to find who to focus on defending for a while. At this time, Paul Gasol stepped up to receive the ball, and passed the ball to Andrew Bynum from under his side. Andrew Bynum did not rush into it, After getting the ball, he feinted, and immediately passed the ball to Luke Walton in the corner. Stephen was supposed to defend Luke Walton, but after the pass, Pau Gasol went to help Luke. Ke Walton blocked Stephen, Andrew Bynum's ball came in time, and Luke Walton jumped up and made a three-point shot. Although he had just played, his hands were not cold at all.

Turning back, Stephen passed to Coupard, and Coupard was almost blocked by Andrew Bynum. Although he snatched the ball again, he had lost the chance to make a shot, so Coupard had to pass the ball back to Larry. Russell Westbrook, after receiving the ball, Russell Westbrook made a sharp change of direction to get rid of Derek Fisher, but the shot very close to the basket was missed, and the rebound was also blocked by Pau Gasol Al got it, but before the Lakers' fast break started, Stephen interrupted Pau Gasol's pass from time to time.

Turning back, Stephen’s shot still missed, but Serge Ibaka jumped up and took off the rebound, and passed the inside pass to Coupard. Coupard jumped up and dunked with both hands, not only dunking the ball into the , also knocked Andrew Bynum to the ground.

Then Coupard wanted to show off, but the referee came over and directly gave him a foul. The fans who were cheering for him immediately became angry, and the ear-piercing boos were endless, but the referee was unmoved and insisted on ruling Coupard foul, despite Coupard's explanations to no avail.

The judgment of the referee is actually very understandable. They cannot stand on the standpoint of any team. Their purpose of existence is to make the game more beautiful and smooth, and at the same time ensure that the game will not lose suspense earlier. Therefore, the use of This method is very normal.

The Lakers are at a disadvantage now, and they have just started to improve. If they are suppressed by the Sonics, then in the fourth quarter, the Lakers will be even more powerless to fight back, so the referee secretly helped the Lakers. Whether to blow or not to blow is all in the hands of the referee, and Coupard's actions cannot be said to be without any problems.

Andrew Bynum made a rare two free throws, and the Lakers got close to two points, but after coming back, Stephen directly made a three-point shot to open the point difference again, even though it was less than 20 seconds before the end of the third quarter. The time was up, and the Lakers still completed an attack, leaving only four seconds of attack time for the Sonics.

But for a mature team, four seconds of shot time is enough. After Russell Westbrook got the ball, it only took [-] seconds to get the ball to the basket, and then Turned his head and threw it to Stephen, and after Stephen received the ball, he didn't care about the two people standing in front of him, Pau Gasol and Luke Wharton, jumped back and avoided the defense, and sent the ball steadily into the basket.

Stephen's personal score came to 45 points, and there was still a whole quarter of the game, but in terms of score, the Lakers were already [-] points behind, and what was even more disappointing was that the Lakers couldn't see where the prospect of victory was. Department, defense?Or attack?

Offensive alone is not enough to even out the point difference, and defense does not see the possibility of being effective, but at this time, off the court, Phil Jackson has patiently persuaded Kobe Bryant to follow the tactics. Playing ball, only in this way can he maximize his offensive ability and make his offense more labor-saving. Playing tactics does not reduce the importance of his offense, nor does it reduce the number of shots he takes, but just makes his offense more effective. Efficiency makes it easier to play.

Phil Jackson has said this to Kobe Bryant many times, but Kobe Bryant usually executes it very well. Whenever the team falls behind or encounters other people challenging him in scoring, he will forget this. Phil Jackson has been very distressed. Of course, if Kobe Bryant can win the game by himself, he will not say a word, but now it seems obvious that there is no possibility. I can only try my best to persuade Kobe Bryant to play tactics.

Fortunately, after sitting off the court for a while, Kobe Bryant has regained some sanity. He nodded in agreement after hearing what Phil Jackson said, and then followed the team back to the court. At this time, Andrew Bai Nahm is off, Lamar Odom is on, and Trevor Ariza is back on the court. Although his defense against Stephen is not very good, he is still reliable compared to others too much. [

The Lakers, who returned to tactics, also launched a fierce attack from the beginning of the fourth quarter. Pau Gasol supported in the high position, Lamar Odom connected in series at the basket, and Kobe Bryant made cuts from left to right. Derek Fisher and Trevor Ariza waited to shoot threes in the two corners, the ball kept coming and going, everyone had a chance to shoot, so the Lakers offense It came out quickly, playing a [-]-[-] spurt, narrowing the point difference to nine points in one fell swoop.
