Chapter 273: [Test selfless]

On June 8, the two sides started the second battle.
No team in NBA history can finally make a comeback after losing the first two games of the Finals. Jackson did another mobilization job in the locker room and adjusted the lineup.
Payton, Kobe, George, Medvedenko, O'Neill.
Nets: Kidd, Wang Jun, Kittles, Martin, Collins.
In the opening game, the Lakers defended the defense. Medvedenko was in charge of the middle lane. George was low and Kobe and Payton were on either side.
This formation works well when defending Wang Jun. George can also quickly change defense when pick-and-roll, but O'Neill's main defense has a weakness in the bottom corner.
O'Neal can't be wrong if he doesn't go out, because the Nets power forward is Martin who has a very fast cut, and there is no big man in the basket.
The Nets have the same tactics as playing. They only defend O'Neal and guard against others. They shoot outside the line and want to enter the penalty area and immediately shrink the envelope.
This is currently the dead point of the Lakers, and all five of them are not allowed to make three points.
In the first quarter, George and Bryant each shot a three-pointer, both missed the basket. Knowing that a three-pointer won't work, the Lakers will not make a random shot, and try to get closer to the basket.
The distance is close, but there is no way to create a vacancy.
Kenny Smith commented: "Summer Lakers recruited very successfully. The only problem is that they did not introduce pitchers. They lost the three-pointer last season. This season's weakness remains the same. This is a management misstep."
Barkley disdain: "If some Lakers players are not so arrogant, even if there is no three-pointer, I think they may beat the Nets, at least not as much as they lost on the court."
Barkley is talking about the OK combination. They still can't reach a consensus. If they don't cooperate, whoever takes the ball will attack.
O'Neill and Kobe don't have any communication at all, and Jackson's mediation is useless unless he takes a game console to control the thinking of the two.
Receiving the ball from low post, O'Neal will never give Kobe any more. O'Neill holds the spot. Kobe Bryant also did not pass, preferring to single out Kittles this defensive strong point not easy to break through.
Teammates often miss the ball, and one round is over.
O'Neill also said before the game: "The first defeat attracted our attention. We know that we will not fall down. We will make appropriate adjustments."
The result of the adjustment is not much changed from the previous game.
During the regular season, the Lakers easily defeated the Nets in two games. They relied on the rapid conversion of the ball and constant screen cooperation. Now they are not even playing pick-and-roll. Tactically, it looks like an amateur team.
Relying on the super star's personal ability, the Lakers did not lose in the first quarter, the Nets trailed 21 to 25.
Except for the OK combination, everyone else is a spectator, and it is difficult to ensure efficiency by playing like this throughout the game.
O'Neal rested the following quarter, Kobe continued to take the bench, teammates are Fisher, Rush, Fox, Cook.
Brian Cook's chance to play, heralds that the Lakers are really unavailable.
The Nets played on the side with Kitters, Wang Jun, and Jefferson, with Rodney and Mourning inside.
The Nets are headed by Jefferson and Mourning's high pick-and-roll, and the other three make three-pointers on the outside. Quickly overtake the score.
On the defensive end, Cook has no sense of presence. His only role is to pick up rebounds, do not like confrontation, poor breakthrough, lack of blocking ability.
Jefferson rushed and Cook watched him layup next to him. It felt like he was defending, but he didn't have physical contact, and he couldn't cover it even if he jumped.
Rush caught Jefferson twice, and as a result Mourning made two high shots.
O'Neal came off. The Lakers' offense was in trouble. Kobe Bryant was caught by two or three players as soon as he broke through. The Nets 122 defended.
Bryant burst out several times. Assisting Fisher and Rush each made a three-pointer in the periphery, the effect is not bad.
Kobe was dissatisfied with his data, and he just changed the game. Facing Kittles and Jefferson's defensive jumper in the middle and long range, Dangdang hit the iron.
Kobe is not responsible for breaking the ball, the Lakers will have no one else to burst, even if the Nets do not shrink. They also have limited technology.
The Nets are a defense against Kobe's character. He has been strictly preventing him from scoring easily.
This is a series that tests selflessness. As long as Kobeken puts the breakthrough goal in the first place, he is fully capable of attracting double-teams and affecting the overall defense of the Nets. Several substitute teammates, including Cook, are all good.
Unfortunately, Kobe has been spoiled by the Lakers for a long time. He is used to O'Neal attracting defensive achievements instead of accomplishing others.
After playing for five minutes, the Nets surpassed 8 points, and veteran Fox had a magical touch only once during this time, or it was passed immediately after being targeted on the offensive end. It was completely a "six baby" on the court.
The Lakers don't shrink, Jefferson packs up Cook, shrinks even worse.
The Nets blossomed more, and Kittles and Rodney each hit a three-pointer. The Lakers guard Wang Jun. Others can also make three-pointers.
The Lakers replaced Cook, Fox, O'Neal and Wharton.
Mo Ning hardened O'Neal for a while, two fouls were replaced, O'Neal made 4 free throws. Aron Williams went on, continued to defend O'Neal and sent him a free throw.
The midfielders lead 50 to 46.
Barkley commented: "The Nets are a single defense against O'Neill. They can defend and can fight back and score a goal. The Nets have improved this year. They are not afraid of playing with their opponents."
Smith laughed: "The Nets' defense is very targeted. O'Neal likes this rhythm. It's a nightmare for Kobe. It's difficult for him to play. Especially when he is on the field with O'Neal, there is not enough room to break through."
Buckley laughed: "If O'Neal can hit a free throw, the Lakers will definitely win, but now the Nets are in control. Kobe will play better without the ball at this time, and his teammates' shooting rate is much higher than him."
O'Neill's efficiency value is not just offensive, because the Nets do not attach importance to grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt, as long as the ball hits him, it is easy to win.
This time the Nets' offense was blocked, 67 to 70 was overtaken by 3 points.
O'Neal scored 28 points and 16 rebounds, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is still under the premise of 16 penalties, otherwise the data is more terrible.
For many rounds Scala Bryan and Rodney couldn't even foul.
During the break, Lawrence wanted to change his tactics to allow players to sandwich O'Neill, and Kidd raised objections.
"Continue to single defense and guard the outside line. Our defense is not bad, only let the Lakers get 70 points. What are you afraid of? No one else in the Lakers scores in double figures. Isn't this a success?"
Lawrence shook his head: "If you don't care, O'Neal may play 40+20 today."
"The foul allowed him to make a free throw. It was our bad luck if he made the penalty. If the Lakers throw away from the outside, it will be more troublesome." Kidd retorted loudly, he is more like a coach now.
First assistant Larry Drew chose to support Kidd. "I agree with Jason's plan. O'Neal missed free throws today. We just fouled and we weren't firm enough. He was tired in the fourth quarter and he can win by attacking the outside as long as he throws."
Lawrence had no choice but to agree, but he was a little unhappy, but who made him unqualified? (~^~)
