Chapter 257: [The Lakers reverse, the trap is dug]


On June 4, the Lakers faced the Blazers at home, and the brutal tie-break began. .
"Zen Master" Phil Jackson showed his talent for coaching. Instead of playing triangle offense, O'Neal pulled out the pick and roll, responded high, reduced his shots, and helped his teammates open.
This move is aimed at the slow and slow pick-up against the old Sabonis, and the thinking is very correct. O'Neill's strong attack on the basket will instead allow Sabonis to play a defensive role. His height and tonnage are not inferior to O'Neill.
After the adjustment, the Lakers' outside offensive opened, and the hit rate increased collectively. However, the Blazers core Rashid Wallace is not vegetarian, playing the best performance of the personal series, hitting 7o% in the first three quarters, scoring 26 points, driving the entire team offensive.
Steve Smith took a run and took the ball and made 3 of 4 3-pointers, which also guaranteed the team's outside firepower.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers fell by 15 points. Before the fourth quarter, the Lakers bench was desperate and confused.
On the Blazers side, coach Mike Dunleavy pinched his waist on the sidelines, full of confidence and arrogance.
His line with the winner's posture, if there are multiple braids behind his head like Nurhachi took full clearance, he will wait to take the iron to ride into the finals to burn and grab.
As a result, the situation changed suddenly. At the beginning of the last quarter, the Lakers began to counterattack with long-range artillery. Two substitute leaders, Holly and Brian Shaw, started a "three-point rain". O'Neill made an axis to attract defense on the inside, and the pass led the team, quickly filling the 15-point pit.
The Blazers Sabonis was not good at pick-and-roll and sent Marcus Camby. His thin body could not support O'Neill. At this time, Dunleavy especially missed Kevin Cato. If Cato was there, it would be less difficult to deal with the Lakers.
At the last moment, the game entered "Shark Time". O'Neal hooked, dunked, and free throws scored consecutively to secure the victory. It was amazing that O'Neill made a free throw in a key game and made 8 of 12 shots.
Six of the Lakers scored in double figures. With joint efforts, the Lakers won 93-88.
The Knicks watched the game. After the end, Yang Rui turned off the TV and walked onto the podium. "Okay, let's talk about it now. In addition to the shark-cutting tactics, how to deal with the Lakers is appropriate, not only the teaching assistant, but also any ideas."
O'Neal raised his hand first and smiled as he opened the room.
"Jerry, can you predict the lottery ticket tomorrow? I plan to buy a bet, should I be able to win?"
Yang Rui is not angry, the atmosphere inside the Raptors is just like this, as long as the game is not chaotic.
"I can't predict the lottery, but I can provide you with a wealth of money. Everyone has the little yellow man, and you know Facebook? If there is a Sky Facebook listed, you can buy stocks and wait for appreciation." Yang Rui is Say casually, whether he believes it or not.
Thibodeau raised his hand and said. "I suggest defending O'Neal on the defensive end and guarding the Lakers from the outside. This is what the Blazers do. It really works. Teammates can't open, O'Neal can't win the game against the sky. In addition, I suggest to let Cato and Miller take the bench , So that our second team is also more aggressive."
D'Antoni said: "My suggestion is to take a fast break if there is a chance, run with O'Neal, and consume his physical energy. In positional battles, O'Neal was withdrawn from the basket, and the defender attacked him in a misplaced position. attack."
Everyone enthusiastically said that they agreed to withdraw O'Neill from the basket. This fat man was too powerful near the penalty area. He has invincible dominance on the offensive end. He can resist people and block when defending. He stops at the basket and blocks half of the penalty area.
Yang Rui set a single defense O'Neal, the main counterattack and outside the ball-free screen strategy.
After the meeting, he left Doug Christie alone.
"Doug, this time in the finals, your mission is very heavy. I will arrange for you to defend Kobe, but this is not enough, because I worry that Kobe will take too few shots, so I need your cooperation."
"Worried about less shots?" Christie asked puzzled. "How do you think I cooperate?"
"It's very simple, go out for an interview and say that you will have one-on-one Kobe Bryant in the finals. He's nothing special. Only by O'Neal did he write good data and become an All-Star." Yang Rui smiled.
"But I can't defend him one-on-one." Christie smiled wryly, suspecting it was a prank.
Yang Ruizheng said: "I'm not kidding, I also know that you can't prevent him from dying, but the team needs you to do this. If you can provoke Kobe and lead him to shoot twenty-one baskets in a game, then you are the number one Raptors winning. Heroes."
Christie froze: "You've made me dizzy."
"No? You can't understand this? As long as you control Kobe's hit rate within 45%, prevent breaks and reduce fouls, how many points can he score more than 20 times? I can tell you clearly, it is 30. Left and right, high shots and high scores. If O'Neal continues to play, the insider will have to take turns to foul and take turns to affect the offense. O'Neal's shooting rate may be 6o%. At the expense of you, everyone will be comfortable." Yang Rui explained the idea .
Christie and the three teaching assistants all understood.
Before discussing tactics, Yang Rui asked everyone to say that now he has thrown out his own tactics, or psychological warfare.
What character is Kobe? At the age of 19, he dared to let Malone go away. He made three consecutive key shots in the playoffs. He wanted to show himself every moment.
If Christie really said that, the fledgling Kobe would definitely be angry, and he might be directed at him, just like challenging Pippen in the last series.
This is not just psychological warfare. In the impression of Yang Rui, Kobe and Christie didn't take advantage of the matchup.
In the past life of Yang Rui, Christie was the most underrated Kobe Bryant finisher, and his defensive effect was better than that of Raja Bell, Battier, Artest and others.
Although Bryant's stats have been exploded in every matchup, his single defense effect is very obvious. Kobe's shooting percentage is often less than 4o%, which is said to be limited to less than 45%. It is to relieve Christie. Kobe's career average The hit rate is less than 45%.
Christie is at the top of the offensive Kings team. The team's defense is not half weak. Unlike the Prince in the Pistons and Bowen during the Spurs, it is not that they are not good at defending, but their defenses are all behind. The defensive system has a halo bonus, and Christie has nothing. More often, he is fighting alone, and he has been selected for the defensive lineup of the year.
Moreover, as a swingman who can play three positions~EbookFREE.me~Christie is a big defensive lock. With less than 2.5 fouls per game, the nickname of "scalpel" is not vain.
Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe Bryant's career against Christie, averaged only 43.3% field goal percentage, 9.3 21.5, 3-1 3-pointer, .3%, 7.6 8.9, 84.7% free throw, He got 27.2 points, 7 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
Christie himself rarely fouls, and Kobe's horrific free throws are mostly fouled after breaking into the inside. The King's internal defense was terrible, and when Kobe was at his peak, Christie was already in a state of decline. Setting aside these factors, from 1997-2oo3, when the two played against each other, Kobe's efficiency was poor.
In addition, the Raptors' power forward is O'Neal, and the pick-and-roll defense is better than the Kings. Kobe wants to score more difficult.
Yang Rui had dug the trap and was waiting for Kobe to jump.
