Chapter 969 The Beginning of the Showdown



But without waiting for the Lakers to launch an onslaught, Carlesimo quickly made adjustments to the lineup on the field, and the scale of his adjustment was very large at once, replacing both Yao Ming and Coupard. Replaced with Serge Ibaka and Damien Wilkins, although this lineup clearly revealed his idea, that is to play fast, and the small lineup must come to play fast.

At this time, the Lakers decided to stay the same. No matter what tactics you plan to play, we will continue to play our tactics. We played well in the last few minutes of the first half, and almost overtook the score. If you don't stick to the truth, you were almost bluffed just now, but this time you can't be fooled again.

In fact, this idea of ​​the Lakers is quite normal. Every team has its own style of play and tactics. There is no need to run with the opponent just because the opponent wants to play fast or play a small lineup. The Suns, just play and run. It’s not that they haven’t tried that, but most teams have failed because you can’t compete with a team that keeps playing and running. You can’t stick to your own style of play. , is what a strong team should do.

The Lakers are very confident in their own tactics. Correspondingly, the Sonics also think that their small lineup is good. Even if it is difficult to defend, we have an advantage in offense. More importantly, Carlesimo's thoughts It's very simple, no matter what tactics you play, you just need to stick to it for a few minutes. After Stephen takes a break and returns to the field, he will definitely usher in an explosion, so it doesn't really matter how he plays in these few minutes.

Of course, the opponent can't overtake the score all at once. It stands to reason that Carlesimo should send a defensive lineup at this time, but he had a sudden idea and did the opposite, sending out an offensive lineup. Lineup, he meant that the defensive lineup may not be able to defend, so it is better to play an offensive lineup. In the end, he wanted to try an offensive lineup with inside and outside, but found that the effect was not very good. At this time He thought that it would be better to send a small lineup up to fight the opponent. Even if they couldn't take the lead, it would consume the opponent's physical strength a lot. After Stephen came on the field, it would also be able to get twice the result with half the effort. [

Because Jarrett Jack, Russell Westbrook, and Damien Wilkins all work in disruptive battles, even without tactics, they can still play very well. It was not suitable at first, but soon the three of them found a way to cooperate, that is, to break through the inside in turn, and Kevin Durant waited outside to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer. The Lakers really couldn't handle it. This kind of attack, although the success rate of their attack is not too high, but the speed is fast, if one fails, there will be a second time.

The Lakers' offense is well-organized and efficient, but there is no good way to deal with such a bunch of guys who don't play cards according to common sense, especially Jarrett Jack and Russell Westbrook. , The two of them have been playing this way for a season, and they have found a way to cooperate better. Therefore, although the Lakers played well offensively, they were not able to catch up with the score.

At this time, Serge Ibaka and Kevin Durant, regardless of the fact that there is basically nothing on the court, and they rarely even touch the ball, but as long as they get the ball, a jump shot not far from the basket , one shot from outside the three-point line, and the shooting percentage is very high. This is also related to the Lakers' inability to establish an effective defense line, patronizing to defend the breakthroughs of the three of them.

Soon after half a quarter passed, the Lakers not only failed to narrow the point difference, but were also expanded to nine points. What's more, their big players followed and recovered from the halftime break. The physical strength was exhausted again, especially Pau Gasol, who was not very physically fit, obviously couldn't run anymore.

Sometimes a player’s will is very important. A player with a firm will can persevere more, while a player with a weak will is easy to give up. Pau Gasol belongs to the kind that is not very firm, and Andrew Bynum is still very active. Running, on the one hand, he is young and physically fit, on the other hand, he is simple-minded and won’t think about it, but for the Lakers, this is already a very bad signal, because Pau Gasol is the team’s tactic How could it be possible to let him end.

Phil Jackson quickly discovered what was wrong, and immediately replaced Pau Gasol first, replacing Luke Walton, and using Luke Walton to fill this role. In fact, Luke Walton was originally the team leader. The spare tire, but he had just finished the replacement, and the Supersonics had another large-scale replacement, directly replacing the small lineup on the field with the starting lineup. At this time, Stephen also returned to the field.

At this time, the Lakers are a bit of a wax, continue to Luke Walton, who will be given the task of defending Stephen, Luke Walton can't do Trevor Ariza's job, let him go, and then let Paul Gaso Let's go, this kind of re-start will make the players feel tired, and a good woman can't make a living. Phil Jackson has experienced this sentence.

After Stephen returned to the court, facing Luke Walton's defense, Stephen began to hit the ball to the basket non-stop, and shot from the basket, but Yao Ming's desire to shoot was really not strong, and many balls passed to him. Here, when the opportunity is slightly missed, he will pass the ball again, and at this time Stephen will naturally not be polite.

Kobe Bryant has been controlling his desire to shoot. He wants to integrate himself and the team's tactics like the coach said, but he really can't do it, especially when he watches Steph keep scoring. Time, even more so.

Soon he began to put aside the team's tactics, and changed to attacking alone. At first, the effect was very good, which also confused him, thinking that letting himself shoot alone was far better than playing tactics, maybe he couldn't Play like this throughout the game, but it shouldn't be a problem if you play like this for a quarter or more.

After Kobe Bryant took over the offensive power, Stephen also took over the offensive power of his own team. It's the last battle. Let's have a serious duel to see who can beat the other, lest Kobe Bryant always think that he His scoring ability is not much inferior to his own.

Stephen received a pass from his teammate during his take-off, turned around in the air, leaned towards the basket, leaned his body halfway up, and threw the ball into the basket with both hands. Although this action is not as waist-abdominal as Kobe Bryant It's perfect, but the difficulty is also very high. Kobe Bryant also scored two points with a signature fadeaway jumper.
