Chapter 126: Deja vu

Before the game began, the Lakers spent a lot of time on targeted training. The defense focused on studying how to crack the Knicks' high pick and roll.
Well, the most commonly used tactics, how can they really become the twin towers.
Eddie Curry ran in, Eddie Curry ran Randolph.
Both inside the Knicks are strength type, which is really strong in the low post.
The point is that Eddie Curry is a little different from the impression. He didn't like confrontation so much before, but the CIC is pretty good.
During the regular season, he showed some toughness, but that was because the opponent's inside line was not very good.
The Lakers think their insides are good, Gasol is all-star level, Bynum can be considered a quasi-all-star, how can I think of being completely restrained.
The Knicks actually played savagely and played hand-to-hand combat. They rarely played like this before, and the Lakers did not expect it.
Especially after Bynum's two offenses, the Knicks attacked more fiercely inside. Odom is a skill type, can he win with Randolph.
Well, Gasol is also a skill type. The Knicks played cards unreasonably and disrupted all the Lakers' plans.
They can only pin their hopes on the offense. In the first quarter, Kobe was still trying to play a like the previous two games, but he found that it was not possible and then went all out to attack with the ball in the second quarter.
Kobe and James are still different. Kobe relies more on jump shots and he has a better basket.
However, he is a guard and his strength is definitely a little weaker, so the Knicks' defensive strategy is also somewhat different.
It's the same without the ball. Finding your body against consumption is one of the easiest and best ways to deal with star players.
If Kobe holds the ball, the Knicks will choose to hit between the free throw line and the three-point line.
Kobe definitely can't let go, he needs to post, if he is passed, he needs to go up to make up, instead of inside defending.
James passes more, Kobe has a strong finishing ability and is more accustomed to finishing. This is neat and clear.
Not to make them lose points, but to make them uncomfortable.
It's good to be able to play a little role at critical moments, or play a role in critical matches.
Consumption is not a matter of one game, Qi Li is ready to fight a protracted battle.
The offensive must be fierce, and the opponent cannot be given a chance, but the plan must be complete. It cannot be said that the plan is only sweeping and will not be attacked in other situations.
Of course, Eddie Curry is only ready for four games with the use of Qi Li. If there is a fifth game, he will let Jordan, help defense ability basically be useful against any opponent on the defensive end.
The Knicks surprised the Lakers and fans too much in the first half, but the Lakers tied the score thanks to Kobe's second quarter burst and the buzzer.
However, at this time, many people thought of James before, can the Lakers survive the small half.
Bynum has committed four offenses, Gasol and Odom are also two offenders. The opponent's two insides scored in double figures. The bench inside also performed very well. The penalty area is the opponent's world.
"We have to be tough." Kobe's eyes were murderous during the intermission.
Kobe has the strongest team in scoring, assisting, stealing and blocking in the first half. He can only do this. If the other points in the second half still can't get up, they will be in danger.
He must be dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates. Since the Knicks are going to fight, they will fight against them. Can't they still win.
If the Knicks are still playing in the regular season and Kobe hasn't been so angry, now it is clear that they are underestimated.
Phil Jackson also felt offended, the rookie on the other side was too courageous.
It was unexpected in the first half, and defense needs to be adjusted in the second half.
Bynum is a little troublesome, Phil Jackson personally talked with the kid for a while, let him control the foul.
Bynum won't be on for that long, Phil Jackson also considered that in order to target the Knicks, he must still react to the offensive end, not just a Kobe attack, Odom needs to pull the Knicks inside.
As long as there are not two people standing inside, the Lakers have more room to operate. It is still a problem of assisting defense. The Knicks only have strong assisting defense ability of Jordan, but the offensive ability of Jordan is not strong. He can be targeted when he comes up. Can be targeted.
Even when both insides can be pulled out on offense, the Lakers often play like that, which is not a surprise.
In the triangle offense, Gasol is the axis, Kobe ends, this axis is definitely not in the low position.
The plan is comprehensive and the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is often cruel.
Bynum played less than three minutes in the third quarter and fouled again. He was calm because the Zen master wanted to hit someone, but he had to keep his demeanor as a famous coach.
However, after replacing Odom, this guy can't attack again. This guy is also an unstable master. If he doesn't handle the ball well, the Lakers want to sell him.
Phil Jackson decided that he could not be given such a big contract next season.
Seeing that the Knicks have gained the lead again, the Lakers can only let Kobe continue to squeeze.
Kobe really struggled. He scored higher in the third quarter than in the second, but the Lakers still fell behind.
The point is, this is just the beginning. The Knicks rotation Dragic can also pick and roll with David Lee. The Lakers can't get it, and Crawford, an unreasonable home.
The Knicks, Marbury, sacrificed a little offensive opportunity, and their offense was still the tide.
Kobe started to rest in the final quarter, and within a few minutes, the Knicks extended the lead to double digits.
The Lakers can only replace Kobe in advance, but Kobe is a little messy at this time.
After Kobe's several iron strikes, the score gap between the two sides is about to 20 points.
You can believe that not long ago, everyone was playing inextricably, at least on the surface.
Many people have actually thought of it, UU reading www. How does uukanshu.com feel that the Lakers are a replica of the Cavaliers? Although both teams have superstars, the styles of the two teams are actually different.
The Lakers tend to offense and the Cavaliers tend to defensively. How come the results are so similar.
In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand. First of all, the Lakers' inside line was crushed to death, including Gasol also played very uncomfortably.
Secondly, the Lakers’ bench was really killed. The Knicks’ bench defense was not good before, but now there is Jordan. The Knicks’ bench defense is very good, okay, if it’s not for Crawford’s unreasonable sixth People, it's really not that easy to score points.
Odom is really not good at this kind of organization. The key point is that he still plays with the main force. Bynum was beaten by Eddie Curry and bye-bye without playing even 20 minutes.
The Lakers' other benches are completely unsuccessful, relying on Walton, Farmar and Brown, who averaged less than 5 points per game.
After the Lakers used Ariza as the main force, their bench was really average.
Or to put it another way, the Knicks are really strong.
