: 1457. Underestimated defensive adaptability

"Gasol and Yao Ming are only responsible for keeping the line down, Fisher, Kobe and Barnes are responsible for high-level defense and the necessary assistance to help the inside line ... the inside line cannot get in at all!"
In the first quarter, he played more than six minutes. After entering the official suspension, Liu Mang and Mike Woodson were discussing defense issues.
After hitting the first official timeout, Liu Mang found that he underestimated the balance of the opponent's offense and defense!
106.9 points per game, 99.5 points per game, this is the Lakers' regular season performance. At first glance, the Lakers are a strong defense team, but considering that they often let opponents score 60 points at halftime , And then defended the opponent for more than 30 points in the second half when chasing points ...
Even in the playoffs, the Lakers defense is sometimes distracted. In the entire Western Conference playoffs, the Lakers averaged 108 points and 102 points per game. It looks worse than the regular season.
From the data analysis, Liu Mang really only cares about the Lakers Kobe Bryant, Gasol, Yao Ming, Odom with Wang Zhizhi, Radmanovic, Fisher, Barnes, Morris Evans, etc. The three-pointer's super offensive shot, after all, the Eagles themselves have averaged 98 points per game in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
The Lakers' positional offense is too strong, causing people to inadvertently ignore how good their defense is.
Liu Mang also discovered the limitations of the "data analysis stream" which is "Snake Science". Data, efficiency analysis, and technical analysis sometimes do not fully reflect the strength of a team.
In the first half of the first quarter, Liu Mang and Rondo had played pick-and-rolls, but they didn't work.
At this time, Liu Mang and Stockton only remembered that the Lakers locked the pick-and-roll offense of Nash and Josh Smith to death. When the Suns played the Lakers, they often used positional battles to solve problems, like Dior. He played poorly with Barbosa in the second round, still relying on O'Neill to have more power, Nash and Marion's precision shots, and the positional offensive organization ability of Nash, Calderon and Josh Smith to compete with the Lakers.
Yao is clear that physical strength is a big problem, much worse than O'Neal of the same age, but he is only a physical problem, but the defensive pick-and-roll is much stronger than O'Neill.
Just like the original 0607 season playoffs in the time and space, the Rockets played the jazz, and the two teams scored a tie-break. The Rockets restricted the Jazz team that averaged 101.5 points per game in the regular season that season, only averaging 90.4 points per game in the first round, the 0708 season and the Jazz In the first round of the game, the Jazz scored 106 points in the regular season and scored 106 points. In the first round, the Jazz only scored 90.5 points per game. The Rockets lost to the Jazz, but the Rockets were defended more badly by the Jazz. They scored twice. Less than 90, not that the Rockets did not guard the Jazz's pick-and-roll offense.
When the Jazz played the Rockets, the offensive end was purely Boozer mid-range singles, Fat Delong's crushing breakthrough and Okur's three-pointer. Of course, the focus was on defense. The Jazz let the Rockets score for the two-year playoffs. More than 90 points are difficult, and Deron, who has averaged 10 assists in the regular season for several years in the block, has failed to pick and roll in the series with the Rockets, and the number of assists has shrunk significantly.
Yao Ming rarely becomes a colander on the defensive end. Considering the original time and space, Yao Ming has not allowed the team to lose more than 94 points since the rookie season. By the time the Yao Ming reimbursed in the 0910 season, the Rockets have become a defensive team. During this period, the league has repeatedly weakened the regularity of the defensive team, and the league once tended to become a run-out league, but Yao Ming ’s Rockets have always been a strong defensive team, which is not decisive for Van Gundy. Relationship, when Adelman coached, the Rockets defense did not decline, Yao Ming's adaptability in various defense changes is greatly underestimated, unless he is not physically fit.
However, the Zen Master adjusted Yao Ming ’s style of play. The offensive end only used his mid-range shot to let Yao Ming put his physical strength on defense, but instead used Gasol to play the low position. Yao Ming ’s mid-range control ratio Kobe in the original time and space in the last two consecutive Bynum is much stronger, tall, and feels good ...
Looking at the Lakers bench, when Liu Mang saw Yao Ming playing against the past, he cut a few up in the first quarter. He was tired and gasped after half a season. He was different this time. , Just sweating a little bit!
"This is not something that is hard to guess. In 2008, 2009 and 10, there was a big center like Bynum. The Lakers still played with the new Shuangsha jazz. The Zen Master was beaten by the Jazz in the last century. After that, I started to study how to deal with the pick-and-roll. I didn't even notice ... "
Liu Mang has a big head!
but……
noticed……
What about ...
12 to 17, the Hawks are already 5 points behind!
After more than six minutes, the opponent scored 17 points, and he only scored 12 points on his own side. After the difference of Fisher's three-pointer was pulled to 5 points, the Hawks were forced to call a timeout.
With a 100-second official timeout, Liu Mang and Mike Woodson discussed for about a minute, then coach Kruger, who had arranged the offensive tactics, took over the tactical board and began to arrange the defensive strategy.
"Am I going with Jason, Grant, Swift, Kwame?"
Liu Mang began to draw on the tactics he and Mike Woodson came up with ...
Back from the timeout, the away start was at a disadvantage, and the Hawks were not discouraged. This was expected.
The Hawks sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Grant Hill, Swift, Kwame Brown lineup.
In the finals, no need to be stingy, Kwame Brown continued.
On the Lakers side, Yao Ming was replaced as expected, and the lineup of Clerkston, Kobe, Odom, Gasol, and Wang Zhizhi was replaced.
Liu Mang received the ball in the frontcourt and moved towards the three-point line to observe the opponent's defense.
The focus is on Gasol inside!
In the Lakers tactical system, the most important thing is not Kobe and Yao Ming, but Gasol!
The combination of drugs is not as important as Odom in terms of tactics.
Of course, there must be a combination of drugs, the importance of Gasol and Odom can be reflected.
The sister-in-law is a little bit sultry today. Liu Mang wanted to have Garnett's anger to rule Yizhi's sister-in-law.
Yao Ming's pull to the middle distance is still very threatening. In the fourth game, Yao Ming shot 5 of 5 in the midfield, 5 of 5 in the basket, 10 shots in all, plus 5 of 5 free throws in 5 quarters and 25 points in three quarters The only triple-double in his career was so impressive.
This made Gasol play in the first half of the game, and Gasol's physical fitness at the peak is not as bad as Yao Ming, who is a few months younger than him. Playing the whole game is not a problem.
Seeing Wang Zhizhi carrying Kwame Brown with weight on the inside, Liu Mang immediately saw that the Zen master was preparing to let Wang Zhizhi play the role of Yao Ming's teammates in rebounding and topping on the defensive end, similar to Yao Ming. How to use Wang Zhizhi ... or conversely, Yao Ming today is the ultimate version of Wang Zhizhi with weakened range defense.
Although the effect of playing the pick-and-roll is not good ... but still have to fight!
Liu Mang beckoned to let Kwame Brown continue to come out to play a pick-and-roll.
Sure enough, when Liu Mang broke through with a pick-and-roll, Wang Zhizhi did not come out, but stayed in the three-second zone.
Liu Mang rushed into the inside, also in the three-second zone, Wang Zhizhi was far away, but at this time Odom actively assisted to come over, but unfortunately Wang Zhizhi did not prevent Liu Mang ’s role, Liu Mang pulled the lever to hide Drive Odom's defense and score two points in the layup.
The Lakers ’defensive tactics are very good, taking advantage of Kwame Brown ’s lack of shooting, the pick-and-roll is mainly around the pick-and-roll Liu Mang ’s three-pointer and chasing Liu Mang ’s middle distance, and the basket assists, but Wang Zhizhi cannot do To the basket defense like Yao Ming.
Yao Ming is absent, the Lakers' internal defense has dropped by a grade, just like Liu Mang's evaluation of the Lakers Bynum in the last two consecutive time and space, he may not have a good head, but his excellent inside guard ability is Gasol can't replace it. In addition to the huge difference between Garnett's status in the 2008 and 10-year finals, the presence of Bynum and the absence of Bynum are also key.
The Lakers attacked, and Clerxton pushed the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Kobe.
Kobe knew that Yao Ming went down, and the team's defense dropped by one grade, so he also needs to adjust. From the previous defense, the defensive play that was only cast once in the first half of the game became an offensive play!
But Kobe was a little surprised. It wasn't Liu Mang who defended him, but Grant Hill!
Liu Mang went to prevent Clerxton who had no shooting ability!
Seeing Liu Mang looking at him from time to time, Bryant immediately judged Liu Mang's thoughts, wanting to be like their anti-eagle team in the first half, Clayston and Rondo generally have similar shortcomings.
Kobe took the initiative to make a breakthrough in the direction of Liu Mang chasing Clayston on the right!
Grant Hill did his best to take Kobe down the line. His excellent defensive consciousness made his early move well delayed Kobe's acceleration, and made it difficult for Kobe to have a good chance of changing direction. It was a free throw on the right side of the three seconds zone. When one step within the line distance, Kobe stopped and jumped!
Sure enough, Liu Mang rushed up as Kobe expected!
Kobe Bryant distributed the ball to Clexton in the air. Clayston rushed to the inside and received the ball when Gasol cut in!
Kwame Brown's defensive attention on this side was attracted by Kobe. He wanted to make dumplings with Grant Hill and Liu Mang. Kobe used this!
At the same time, it attracted the attention of Liu Mang and Kwame Brown and helped Gasol create a scoring opportunity!
Gasol received the ball, ready to give a wild split to show his own strength.
but……
Gasol just jumped up and lifted the ball, the ball in his hand was slapped in the air!
Strom Myers Swift!
Make the best use of it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This is what the Spurs have always been best at, even if it is a toilet paper, Popovich can find ways to use its value.
Coach Kruger gradually has a completely different but similar core view of employment methods, around Liu Mang, make full use of all existing resources of the team.
This time it was replaced by Swift, and it worked wonders. The active contraction gave Gasol a big hat!
Gasol faced the basket and didn't notice that Swift had let Wang Zhizhi rush in.
However, Odom first grabbed the ball, rushed into the inside, and turned like a defender to avoid Liu Mang and Kwame Brown's blocked layup and scored two points.
Yao Ming and Gasol partner inside, the dominance is stronger, but the combination of Odom, Wang Zhizhi and Gasol in the frontcourt is more mobile!
After the Lakers scored a goal, they quickly retreated without a full-court press. Although the backcourt combination of Clayston and Kobe is very suitable, it is related to their defensive habits for more than ten years. There were O'Neill before and Yao Ming now They are huge centers, and even the Lakers have never missed a super center throughout the team's history, from the beginning.
The Lakers are almost 100% dead, so their first choice after scoring is to retreat.
Even if the situation on the court reached the rotation stage, the Hawks did not get the benefit.
Although Liu Mang's pick-and-roll breakthrough and high singles played very well, and there were also occasional three-pointers; Jason Terry's singles also performed well, and McGrady's transfer setter and two-point long dry game The pull-up shot was pretty good, but ... the Lakers played their first home game in the finals, playing too well!
The Lakers ca n’t and dare to lose the first game, this is their home, so no matter who plays, they try their best to play according to the Zen master ’s instructions ...
Strong execution and good condition in the playoffs ...
The points are gradually being pulled apart ...
