Vol 3 Chapter 471: The Lakers' gambling!

"This game is the most intense pre-match game of all the Lakers I have watched this season. If the Lakers also lose this game, then we may be swept by the Rockets this season, although It is said that the Rockets are indeed much stronger than us, and our series is really difficult to beat them, but if they are swept out of the game, it is still a bit difficult to accept."
"Yeah, after all, we swept the Lakers in the regular season. Even if it is really weak, we can't compare with the Rockets in the West. But it shouldn't be so much worse. Many people are in this series. Before the start of the game, I said that the Lakers might not be as good as the Supersonics. I didn’t believe it at first, but from now on, it seems to be the case. Of course, I still don’t think our team is as good as the Rockets. Or supersonic, but our team has too many flaws. In fact, the Rockets can’t defend our offense. It’s just that when their offense confronts us, because of our own flaws, we let them The offense looks more destructive. If we can make up for our internal defense or offensive flaws, even if we cannot win the Rockets, we will definitely not be as embarrassed as we are now."
"Yes, I think so too, but this is, after all, the first season since our team was formed. The team has been able to walk to the present very well, which has completely met all of our expectations, Moreover, our team's performance in this series has also been quite good, so enjoy the last two home games of this series. Maybe our third home game will wait until the next Season is up"
"Well, no matter what. I am quite satisfied with the performance of the guys on our team. I look forward to them growing up as soon as possible, and then leading the Lakers to rise again as soon as possible."
On May 29, 1995, at 8:30 in the evening, the Los Angeles Lakers coach Great Western Forum Arena, as the Lakers' home, the Forum Arena this season is one of the best home games in the league. One of the best home courts in the playoffs, in such a market, although the Lakers have not been in a good state recently. But half an hour before the start of the game, the Lakers' home court was already full.
It's just obvious that when these Lakers sit in their positions, the mood of these fans at this time may be completely different from that in the past. In the past, the Lakers were constantly killing the Quartet. With the Lakers killing the Quartet, these Lakers fans were naturally quite relaxed before the game, but at this time. The Lakers are faced with a failure that must appear, and such emotions are naturally impossible to get better.
These Lakers fans are even more anxious and uneasy than they were in the last round with the Spurs, after all. When playing with the Spurs, the Spurs also had the advantage despite the Battle of the Kings. But can the Spurs have the same advantage as the Rockets? Faced with the Spurs, the Lakers fans are still looking forward to winning. But in the face of the Rockets, the Lakers fans feel a bit extravagant even with the expectation of winning.
Even before the game. Many Los Angeles Lakers fan groups are already giving preventive shots to the Lakers fans who are watching the game. I hope that these fans who watch the game will continue to support the team regardless of how the team is performing in this game. Many of the team's fan groups have said this, which means that this team is already in a rather embarrassing situation.
In other words, the supporters of this team believe that this team has come to an end, which is quite helpless for the Lakers.
After all, before the game, the Lakers didn't find any advantages for themselves, especially the Rockets, who were superior in strength. The head player of this team, Barkley, continued to intimidate the Lakers players and before the game. Fans, this is also making the teeth of Los Angeles almost irritated, but even if they are angry, they have no way to take Barkley.
After all, the Rockets are superior in strength, and the advantage is still so obvious. In this case, Buckley said a little bigger, there is no problem at all. If the Lakers are stronger, in the first round of the playoffs Are they facing the Warriors with the same attitude?
I am afraid that in the first round, in the face of the arrogant Lakers and Lakers fans, the Warriors will also have a quite atmosphere, this is the same. And this is nba, there is no so-called decent or villain, only the winner and the loser.
For such a feature of NBA, whether it is the Lakers fans or other fans or other people are quite clear, so although the Lakers fans really tickle Buckley’s teeth, but also There is really no way, the current status quo is like this, all they can do is still standing behind their team and continue to support their team.
And whether the team wins or loses in this round of the series is no longer the most important thing, or they already know that this is already impossible, since it is impossible to achieve Of course, it is naturally not important. If the Lakers can hope to win, then the team's victory or defeat is of course important.
However, as far as the Rockets and the Lakers are concerned, the Lakers can only hope to win Lin Han’s cancer tumor singles, which is what many Lakers fans expect before the start of this game. After all, Lin Han’s cancer tumor singles Although the tactic is quite unstable, it is a tactic that can beat any team. As long as you are lucky, the Rockets were also destroyed by Lin Han at the beginning, but the Lakers fans are quite helpless, although everyone is looking forward to Lin Han played a tumor-like singles, but in an interview before this game, Lin Han directly said that the team is still playing the Princeton tactical system, and his tumor singles, Lin Han seems like this series or even this season The playoffs are not prepared to use the same.
The choice of Lin Han is also the only hope for the Lakers fans. Since Lin Han does not play tumor singles, the Lakers naturally kneel. Can we still expect Princeton to beat the Rockets?
This is not the Lakers fans still look down on the Princeton tactical system, after this season's playoffs. Lakers fans' evaluation of Princeton's tactical system is also getting more and more positive, especially the Lakers used this tactical system to defeat the Spurs to the Western Conference finals.
just. Obviously, the Lakers play the Princeton tactical system and the Rockets confrontation, has now entered a fairly dead loop, that is, as long as the Lakers can not let the Rockets offensive efficiency drop, the Lakers Princeton tactical system because The level is still not so high, so when the two sides attack on the offensive end, they can't attack the opponent at all, and if you want to reduce the offensive efficiency of the other party, it is impossible to play the Princeton tactical system. In this case, the Lakers are now in a quite tangled cycle, and Lin Han has now determined that the team continues to play the Princeton tactical system, then the only thing that can be expected is that the Rockets are constantly giving the Lakers hope and annihilation There was a problem in the process of the Lakers hope.
For most teams in the league, this approach is indeed prone to problems, but the Rockets are definitely not in the category of most teams in this league. Don’t forget that this team is the most experienced in the league. One of the teams. They are very clear about what they want to do. The three superstars of the Rockets are the kind of super star players who are quite judgmental. It is more likely that they will make big mistakes in the process, even if there are small mistakes. . The point difference is not controlled, or there is a slight offensive dilemma, but as long as the Rockets have maintained the lead. Regardless of the lead, this doesn't make any sense to the Lakers. After all, the Rockets are stronger than the Lakers. This is not just a period of time, but a normal game of the entire team.
Therefore, the Lakers’ only hope of victory is to wait for the Rockets to make mistakes, but the Rockets will make mistakes in this game. This is not the Lakers can control. At least, as far as this game is concerned, although the Rockets The team is indeed on the harder side of the objective, it is more of an away game, and it is the first away game, which will be quite difficult to adapt to, but this team will indeed be crushed by the Lakers even after starting. After staying for a while, it is difficult for the Lakers fans to expect this team to be suppressed by the Lakers in one game.
Therefore, no matter how it is done, the Lakers fans cannot see the Lakers hope of winning the game. Unless a miracle occurs, even if a miracle occurs, the miracle may not necessarily be on the side of the Lakers.
Of course, at this time, the Lakers fans can't see their team's hope of winning the game. For these media reporters and commentators on the scene, I am afraid that they are similar to these Lakers fans. For the Lakers, the only thing they can do now is to play well in their last two home games, hoping to put a good end to this glorious season in their last two home games. As for the Lakers Is it possible to play Game 6 with the Rockets, as long as it is not a fool, this is impossible.
"Larry, should the Rockets' strategy in this game be the strategy of the previous two games?"
When the Rockets players who played as an away player came out of the player channel, listening to the boos of the Lakers fans at this time, Collins asked uncertainly to Larry Bird around him, and after Collins finished. Larry Bird nodded, almost without any hesitation,
"As long as the Lakers are not able to win the next game, then for the Rockets, they will not change the game strategy like the previous two games. Since they want to humiliate Lin Han more, then this is inevitable, unfortunately. Although tactics like the Rockets will give the Lakers some opportunities, but from the previous two games, the Lakers seem to have no strength to seize such opportunities."
After Larry Bird said with some sighs, Collins also nodded. The Lakers really failed to seize the opportunity, even if there was no chance. This is not just that the Rockets are not really strong inside. In addition, More importantly, the three headed Rockets players are too capable and have too much experience. I am afraid not to give the Lakers a chance to win a game. I am afraid that as long as the Lakers have a little momentum in the game, this The three Rockets' head players can extinguish this fire, the three of them definitely have such strength.
of course. In addition, the more important point is that Lin Han's personal attacks in the previous two games were too few. Although the Lakers scored a lot, the offensive power is quite good. It can be said that Lin Han has completely driven his teammates, but the offensive force of the other Lakers players has caused too little pressure and threat on the Rockets, whether it is Olajuwon or Barkley or other Rockets. The players can show themselves in the game quite calmly, with almost no foul problems. You know, in the last round, the Rockets were only one of Olajuwon. After playing a total of six games, there were three games. The number of fouls reached 5 times. Olajuwon had three fouls in the other three games at the least. Olajuwon was limited by Camp on the offensive end in the last round. This is not just because Camp has defensive experience for Olajuwon. And, more importantly, the supersonic impact on the Rockets is quite large, almost forcing Olajuwon to be more defensive in the game.
It's just that although I know that facing the Rockets like this is a very effective way, but in the Lakers. Only Lin Han is the only player with the ability to hold the ball. In addition to Lin Han, the best player to hold the ball is Van Exel. Magicians can't have that kind of physical ability now. Even at the peak, magicians don't often go to play like this. In this case, Van Exel breakthrough can actually break through. But this guy is too good to defend because of a rib, after all, as long as Van Exel has broken through. Fools know what this guy is going to do next. For Olajuwon, there is hardly any pressure. After Van Exel, Dominic Wilkins’ possession of the ball is a weakness. Eddie Jones is a rookie. This ability, but too many mistakes, and not enough threats, at least when facing Olajuwon, he does not have enough lethality, he is going to kill some first-class or quasi-first-class inside, but At the level of Olajuwon, it is not enough.
In this case, the Rockets almost grasped the current weakness of the Lakers, almost unscrupulous to play this rather terrifying act of revenge, almost unscrupulous to give the Lakers a chance, they are very sure that the Lakers It's impossible to really seize such an opportunity, because without enough inside and enough offensive players on the ball, the Lakers can count on Lin Han just like they do now!
In other words, no matter what time, the Lakers can only rely on Lin Han to seize the opportunity. In this case, Lin Han is now in a one-to-three situation at any time, and Lin Han in this situation Can lead the Lakers beat the Rockets? This seems somewhat impossible.
If the Lakers can't beat the Rockets, then the Rockets will not change their strategy, and this is also caught in a very dead loop!
Therefore, even experts such as Collins and Larry Bird are quite helpless when they see the situation the Lakers are facing. This is indeed quite helpless, because even experts at their level are There is no possibility that the Lakers can get rid of this situation.
"If the Lakers are bold enough, this team has a chance to steal a game of victory."
Finally, after watching the Rockets players play in the boos of the fans, and watching the Lakers players play in the cheers of the fans, Larry Bird also said thoughtfully, After Larry Bird finished, Collins nodded quite agreeably this time.
The Lakers lost this round of the series, this is the view of everyone in the world at this time, but the loss of the Lakers in this round of the series does not mean that they will be swept away. After all, the Rockets are not robots. Team, no matter how experienced and stable this team is, they have loopholes, and their biggest loophole is this first away game, because they are unfamiliar with the environment, they will definitely be in the game Some problems.
The Lakers are of course unable to catch such loopholes under normal circumstances, but under normal circumstances does not mean that under special circumstances.
At the very least, according to the approach of Larry Bird and Collins, if they are the head coach of the Lakers, there is still a chance to use this team to play the Princeton tactical system to steal a victory in this game, although the opportunity will not be the same. Just how big it is.
The key is to see if the Lakers and Magic have the courage to change the lineup in this game.
After all, even with the courage to change, although there is a chance to steal a victory. But this opportunity is not so great, and if you can not win after the change. Then the final memory is likely to be a tragedy.
Swept by a team stronger than yourself, this may be nothing. The Lakers have been swept through in the finals, but if they were hit by a tragedy in the game, or even a kind of tragedy that was enough to hit the history book, and if they were swept, then it would really be a tragedy.
Of course, Collins and Larry Bird didn’t know what the Magicians would be in this game. At least they didn’t know what the Lakers would do in the game before the Lakers played. At this time, watching Lin Han as the team's finale, and watching this player who is still cheered by the fans with great enthusiasm, whether it is Larry Bird or Collins, feels a pity.
If it’s not for the Rockets to form the Big Three this season, if it’s not for the Lakers this season that they have lost a lot of players who could have been able to get inside reinforcements, such as Grant and others, then the Lakers are likely to be the first team this season. He won the championship this season, and Lin Han is also likely to enter the finals again to win the championship in the first season of the Lakers.
And the 24vs23 that the world is looking forward to is likely to be staged this season, and now, after having one more Rockets out of thin air. This is also quite regrettable, not only to make them regret, but I am afraid that as the president of the alliance David Stern is also quite regrettable, if possible. David Stern absolutely didn't want Buckley to go to the Rockets, but he couldn't find a reason to veto the deal, after all. Whether it’s Barkley, Olajuwon, or Sun’s general manager Colangelo, these are the league’s bigwigs, David Stern can’t say anything about'for basketball reasons' so you can’t On a team? I really want to say that. Just say that to those superstars or all-stars who are slightly lower, but the target is Barkley. The league's mvp, the top five superstars, Colangelo, the few management teams on the same level as David Stern, and now that David Stern is already in control of the league, but the influence It is not so big, you can ignore these rules.
Therefore, at this time, when I saw Lin Han caught in the huge quagmire of the Rockets, I am afraid that in addition to the Lakers fans, it is necessary to count David Stern, but David Stern En can also look a little bit. After all, even if the Lakers can enter the finals, they may not be able to really 24vs23. In the east, Jordan's bulls are also caught in the quagmire.
At this time when Larry Bird was talking about David Stern, the starting players of the two sides had already warmed up, and when Larry Bird and Collins looked at the two starting players towards the court, There are still no changes on the Rockets side, Olajuwon, Barkley, Mario Airy, Drexler and Doug Reeves, this lineup is the most after this team came to the playoffs A solid lineup has hardly changed.
Therefore, for a starting lineup like the Rockets, Collins and Larry Bird are not surprised, the key is the Lakers starting lineup in this game.
For this game, since the Lakers chose to insist on playing the Princeton tactical system, in many people's opinion, this is because the Lakers can't put down the opportunity the Rockets gave them. As long as the Lakers remain unchanged, the Rockets' strategy will not change. , Then the Lakers can always get the opportunity from the Rockets. In this case, many people think that the Lakers still want this game like the previous two games, expect the Rockets to have problems themselves, but the same, People like Larry Bird and Collins also have another idea. Although they also think that the Lakers want to seize the opportunities the Rockets give them, they think the Lakers will not be so conservative and passively wait for opportunities. , Should choose a more proactive way to seize such an opportunity, but, obviously, this idea is just their guess, as to what the Lakers want to do, no one knows, and when this game When the starting players of both sides walked to the court, when Larry Bird and Collins saw the Lakers' starting lineup in this game, they were almost all stunned!
It's not just Larry Bird and Collins who were a little surprised to watch the Lakers starters at this time, but the reporters at the scene were similar.
"The Lakers really changed in this game?!"
Lin Han, magician. Dominique Wilkins, Eddie Jones and Van Exel. This is the Lakers starting lineup in this game, as one of the team's most important inside defense. This is the only team that can help Lin Han's inside defensive player Rodman sit on the bench!
Although Rodman is often in the Spurs, he often sits on the bench because of the difference in opponents, but that is the Spurs. In the Spurs, although the Spurs, the Spurs are only an absolute strong in David Robinson. Point, but they can still find some other options besides David Robinson. Although Rodman is important, it is not the only second choice. But what about the Lakers?
This team is really only Rodman's second choice. Except for Rodman, other people simply do not have the player who stands beside Lin Han and helps Lin Han on the defensive end. Of course, Not without it. As a rookie who took the finals mvp in the center position, Magic Johnson's height and weight can actually barely be qualified for the inside position, but that is the magician at the peak. At that time, the magician was not only smart, but also had excellent physical fitness. Now the magician seems to be heavier and heavier. But there is also no smartness like before, and because of the blessing and age, how much physical energy the magician can have is also a huge question. At the very least, although Rodman faced Barkley and Olajuwon, the defensive effect was also very bad. But Rodman is still able to entangle Buckley or Olajuwon, and he can stick to these two for a whole game. But the Magician really wants to stick the two people in a game, so the whole person is probably going to be scrapped. Don't play this series or even the playoffs.
Although the Lakers lineup in this game is indeed quite risky, it seems that the Lakers really want to win the Rockets in this game, which is in line with the ideas of Larry Bird and Collins and many other experts. Yes, but obviously, the adventures that Larry Bird and Collins are looking for are definitely not like this. This is no longer the level of adventure. This is even infinitely close to death!
There is no doubt that the Lakers lineup is looking for death. It is not only Larry Bird and Collins. For example, this time standing on the sidelines was shocked by the startling lineup of the Lakers. Coach Tom Janovic, for the Rockets head coach.
This round and the Lakers series is quite easy, after all, the team has already reached a consensus within the team, or that, for this round and the Lakers playoffs, the three headed players within the team are almost It’s been a season, and it can be said that whether it’s Olajuwon, Drexler, or Barkley, the Lakers and Lin Han were used as imaginary enemies in the regular season. Maybe the Rockets did this. It is disrespect to other teams in the league. Even the Bulls dare not say that they use a certain team as the only imaginary enemy in the regular season. After all, the team can prepare this way, but the player must not think so. In NBA, after a team's trade and formation do meet their rivals, they will adjust and trade in a manner that restrains their rivals, but this is the team's business, this is the team's general manager's business, Players and coaches must not have the idea that there is only one opponent in the entire league. With such an idea, then wait for being hacked. Last season, the supersonics were black seven in the first round. I am afraid that there is also such an idea. The team has only one opponent like the Jazz. It’s not just that the team’s trades and adjustments are based on the idea of ​​the Jazz as an imaginary enemy. Even the players think so. They look weak to a team like the Nuggets. The opponents who couldn't be weaker did not care at all. In the end, when they were dragged into desperation by the Nuggets, they suddenly found that their team was insufficiently prepared, and the team did not seriously prepare for the Nuggets.
So, here is nba after all, although there is indeed a gap between teams, but the gap is definitely not as big as imagined. If you really ignore your opponents, it will come back to the cost, but it is obvious that the Rockets The team’s players did or even dared to do so this season. I’m afraid it’s because the team’s three superstar players and Lin Han were bitter and enemies. Come up with such a rather unethical approach, and in addition to this, this team's strength is also their biggest support. After all, in the entire league. In addition to the Rockets, which team has a lineup of three superstars? !
therefore. For this round of the series, Tomjanovich really can not do much, after all, the team can do, the Rockets’ three superstars have already thought about how many times or how many plans, these three I'm afraid when the guy is facing the Lakers and Lin Han in the game, any aspect has been thought of. In this case, there is not much that Tomjanovic can change. This and the previous round of playing supersonic Is completely different. In the last round of the game against the supersonics, the Rockets eventually eliminated the supersonics, the outside world's evaluation of Tomjanovic is higher than George Karl, because he finally made a correct choice.
However, even if this round of the game, he does not need to make too many choices, nor do he need to do too much preparation, but if the Lakers have some extreme changes, this also requires him to respond. After all, Olajuwon, Barkley, and Drexler thought how much they wanted, it was also based on Lin Han's situation, but after all, the Lakers are not only Lin Han. Even though 90% is Lin Han, there are other things that are 10%.
There is no doubt that this extremely strange game of the Lakers in this game looks like a surrender change is not something that the Rockets three heads can think of. This is where Tomjanovich is needed to consider the team's strategy, only if it is something else. For the Rockets, it is a threatening change. Then Tomjanovich will respond.
But after the Magician's change, Tom Janovich smiled directly at the corner of his mouth.
"Although you are a great player, you are only a rookie head coach after all. Most of the newcomers are gamblers who think they will be able to win."
Looking at the starters on the court that the Lakers are warming up at this time, after speaking with a murmured smile, Tomjanovich sat down directly in his seat.
He certainly knows the strategic intentions of the Lakers in this game. Isn’t he trying to seize the Rockets’ hole to steal a game? I didn't expect the magician to change in this game. This can be called a wonderful flower.
Tomjanovich said that the magician is a gambler, definitely not cursing people. In fact, most of the young head coaches in the league are quite partners and aggressive when facing the crisis, or they are all very gambling. Sex, and these young people always have a fan and player heart When it is impossible to chase, I always think about whether my team’s superstar will stage the Lin Han moment~EbookFREE.me~ It will be defeated and defeated in 30 seconds and 13 minutes. At this time, fans of the world will require their team players to make three-point chaos like Lin Han, chasing three-point chasing points. This is indeed a good practice to make up for the huge difference, but the premise is that you need to have a Lin Han , Or a player like Lin Han, instead of throwing away at any time, some fans even saw the team fall behind by more than eight points in the fourth quarter, no matter how much time, they will be very anxious to hope their own The team directly throws three points, so that chasing points is faster. If the fans have such an idea, the harm is actually not so great, but if the team's head coach has such an idea, then the harm will be great for the team.
This is the so-called fan heart, and the so-called player heart coach, which is aimed at those coaches who are coaches after the superstars retire. These coaches, because they used to be superstars, so they see nba and ordinary players. The nba they arrive at is different. What they think they can do is actually impossible for most players. In other words, their ideas cannot be combined with their own team’s players. Or, many of their decisions and ideas are unrealistic.
There is no doubt that this time the magician seems to be such a head coach in Tomjanovic, in fact, the magician seems to be really in line. (To be continued...)
