: 757. Reasons for the decline of the Lakers

Four Seasons Plaza by Hilton Beverly Hills. bookmark our website
Liu Mang looked at the hotel ’s signboard, and heard that this is a villa hotel, and the parking lot is not underground, but an open-air parking. It is curious: Why does the United States prefer the name of a hotel, is it not a more foreign-style hotel? By the way, it seems that the new meaning of a hotel as a resident is spread from Europe and the United States to the country. The word hotel seems to be introduced from abroad. It used to be called a post or an inn in the country. The hotel used to sell alcohol in the country ... …
Thinking wildly, Liu Mang took the left and right protector Boozer and Barnes into the front door of the hotel's reception where the team had been packaged for up to eight days.
A huge suitcase was dragged behind, a backpack was carried on the back, a large luggage bag was hung on the neck, a large bag was dragged on the left hand, and a small bag was hung on the shoulder of the right hand. The American Jay Chou in the suitcase was as tired as a dog, looking at Liu Mang's back with two "bodyguards".
In addition to the luggage hanging on the neck, Korver ’s left hand big bag is Boozer, the backpack behind is Liu Mang, the huge suitcase at the back is also Liu Mang, the right hand small bag is Barnes, Ke Wall walked from the parking lot to the door of the reception hall, just a few hundred meters, feeling that the whole person was going to be abandoned.
Finally, near the door of the hotel reception, the hotel concierge saw Korver, who was miserable, and hurried up to help.
Korver just wanted to sleep on the ground right now. Seeing the concierge dragging a 48-inch super huge suitcase, Korver was so sad and angry that the little boss bullied people!
But there is no way, who calls him a rookie, can only expect the team to pick a few rookies this summer, and he can have the opportunity to call rookies.
Thinking of this, Korver immediately came to power, training well, and fighting to enter the rotation next season, only to have the power to call the rookie.
Today is June 8th. Just after noon, the Hawks arrived in Los Angeles and stayed in a villa group hotel in the Regal Villa District.
After defeating the Lakers at home last night, the Hawks came to Los Angeles today to prepare for the next three away games. In order to avoid the players from being disturbed, they lived in Beverly Hills. Fans, there is no way to come in.
Liu Mang got his house card with Boozer, Korver and Barnes. The four of them lived in the same villa.
When he came to the villa by the waiter-carrying battery car, Liu Mang saw this villa, which is really luxurious enough. The whole hotel has a large wall around it, and this single-family villa also has a small wall. Exclusive swimming pool and small garden.
When Liu Mang just waited for the room card, he read the introduction of the hotel. There are a total of 32 villas in this hotel, each villa has four bedrooms, and a room is more than 300 US dollars ... Liu Mang feels that the boss's heart is bleeding. Too.
But it was the boss who paid the money. Liu Mang didn't feel distressed.
"Mr. Liu, if you need to go out, please call the front desk and we will send someone to pick you up. There is also a battery car here. It is already full of electricity and can be used when going to other villas. I hope you will have a pleasant stay." The waiter bowed. Said.
"Thank you, please." Liu Mang responded and hung his bag around Korver's neck again, swiped the room card, opened the door of the yard, and walked in.
Barnes and Boozer were also full of wickedness and once again hung their bags on Korver.
Korver looked at the backs of the three and felt that his world was dim, and he could only secretly pity: this handsome guy is really a master's body slave ...
...
After putting down his luggage and resting for a while, Liu Mang changed into sportswear, holding the ball and going to find Prince, to practice at his side.
Although the finals have been 2 to 0, but these two games are home, immediately followed by a three-seater, a lot of pressure.
Moreover, in addition to the pressure of three consecutive home games, there is a completely different place in this year's finals, and Liu Mang's impression.
OK combination!
O'Neal's offense has been unsolved, but this time his defensive efforts have been unexpected, and even caught up with the Pacers finals a few years ago.
The most important thing is that Kobe has more than 5 assists in the first two games! The last game was 37 points and 7 assists, which is a very difficult thing.
In Liu Mang's view, Prince could lock up Kobe in the original 2004 Finals. First, his personal defense was good. This season the overall defense of the league reached the peak of NBA history. Prince has this advantage; 2 Coming because of the external defense of the Pistons of the Five Tigers, Kobe is further suppressed; the third point is the most important, Kobe does not pass O'Neal and Malone!
The main reason is that Kobe Ken refused to pass. Kobe assists the only game with more than 5 assists, which is the second game of the Pistons and Lakers Finals. Kobe got 7 assists and scored 62 points and 10 assists with O’Neal The game happened to be the Lakers won.
And Liu Mang looked at the data of the Lakers ’15 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs in 2001. Kobe Bryant averaged 6.1 assists in 16 games and O’Neal averaged 3.1 assists. He can guess that the reason why 01 was OK in 2001 Invincible, mainly because of the combined assists of O'Neal and Kobe, and the number of assists in the playoffs that are almost the same as that of Magic, Kidd, Nash, and Paul, and the combination of the two is better than the ball. Focusing on the core of an organization is more difficult to prevent!
More importantly, in the playoffs of the Lakers in 01, Kobe and O’Neal have a low possession rate. The two have a combined possession rate of only 30%. This is not yet the organization that needs to concentrate the ball. The core in the playoffs has a high ball holding rate, because in 2001 the Lakers organization core is from a tactical point of view, Rick Fox and Brian Shaw are two high-level organizations that mobilize the triangle offense! The two played the role of Pippen.
Kobe is generally not holding the ball. In the three consecutive championships, there are always two or three players with more than 3 assists per game. O'Neal is one, Fisher is one, Rick Fox, cloth Ryan Shaw, Robert Horry ... These guys have averaged more than 3 assists per game alongside Kobe.
Kobe grabbed only shots, and O'Neal's playoff rebounds have been excellent, averaging 14 rebounds during the three consecutive championships.
In the original 2004 Finals, the OK team combined only had less than 6 assists per game. Without Kobe's power grab, he had many assists alone. The Lakers' finals collapse was not unreasonable.
Because in the finals of that year, except for the Pistons fans, almost no one felt that the Pistons could win. Kobe could not suppress his desire to win the championship MVP. Even if he fell behind 1 to 3, he was still confident that he could make a comeback.
In the case of Bryant's determination to brush the data to grab the FMVP, the Pistons knew that he would not pass the ball, and they must be better defensive. No one in O'Neal passed him. ...
In addition, Malone in the original finals, because the Western Conference finals stubborn Garnett caused the regular season injury increased, the finals state is extremely poor.
Kobe didn't pass the ball, and O'Neal didn't pass it to Kobe. O'Neill's pass was originally for Kobe. The connection between the two was completely broken.
In addition, the Pistons' defense in that year was almost the strongest in history. All in all, combined, the Lakers were washed by the Pistons.
But this time differently, Liu Mang did n’t take it lightly from the Lakers. Their Hawks also put a lot of pressure on the Lakers, which made the OK team start to fight together. Kobe Bryant, who passed the ball, was much harder to defend. In the first three quarters of a game, the OK combination connection, and the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant alone, can be seen as the difference between the invincible Lakers in 01 and the original 2004 Kobe alone Lakers.
In these two situations, Kobe Bryant's Lakers team can not be said to be a grade, the finals in 2004, in the final analysis, because of Bryant's solo action led to the finals defeat.
In the first three quarters of the last game, Liu Mang has seen the serious cooperation of the OK group, so now the pressure is great! Plus here is the away game, the deterrent power of OK combination, there is no way to rely on Rashid Wallace to contend.
"It's really difficult, but it can also be used." Liu Mang walked out of the gate of the fence, put away the scout report, patted the ball with his left hand, and ran over to the villa where Prince lived on the phone.
Continuously enhancing the sense of dribbling on the left hand is similar to strengthening the sense of dribbling on the right hand three years ago.
Liu Mang is going to find Prince, training together, improving his personal offense as much as possible, and also training Prince's single defense ability. I just used Kobe's star card yesterday, some high and low skills, and now I still remember New, Liu Mang should seize this time to recall the feeling.
...
At the Toyota Center of the Lakers Training Center, there is also a person who is training. Although a certain guy is more iron-hearted, but the training attitude is nothing to say. After returning to Los Angeles in the morning, he immediately came to the training hall to train.
The side of the stadium ~ EbookFREE.me ~ also put a sign with only two numbers on it.
37 and 45.
He was scored 45 points by a guy who reached the finals for the first time, and also allowed the opponent to play an efficient performance of 15 of 32 shots. From the mid-1990s, the NBA entered the iron-blood era created by Pat Riley, the finals There are only two outside players who can shoot more than 45 percent of the field with an average of more than 25 points. One is Jordan in the 96-97 season, and the other is Kobe Bryant in the 2001-2002 season with the crushed Nets.
In addition, ten years later, the latest one is Liu Mang.
The most important thing is that Liu Mang scored 40 points! Of the active players, only 40 points in the finals, only O'Neal and Iverson, and then Jordan.
Every time Kobe looked at the hot 45, he felt his head exploded!
Kobe only felt that he didn't shoot the ball, he didn't feel any problem with his shot choice, so he continued to practice shooting ...
From the 8th to the 10th, there was a three-day break when the home and away games of the Finals were changed, but the Lakers only had one day's break between the two games during the three consecutive home games.
During the interval between the two games, there is definitely no way to conduct too much training, so on the ninth, the Hawks team training began immediately after, for the previous two games, the opponent was suppressed by the other. These time periods are targeted for training.
The preparation time always feels too little, and it will soon arrive on August 11, the third game of the finals is coming soon.
