"Jordan's Law! The Blazers actually used Jordan's Law against Kobe!"
The second half of the game had just started, and Bill Walton stood up from his chair in the ABC studio.
"P-J-Carlesimo was so desperate to deal with Kobe! To deal with an 18-year-old high school player, he used an early baggage ???"
"The Lakers are finished." After just a few rounds, Bill Wharton came to a conclusion.
The Blazers directly gave up the outside shooting to defend the Lakers and other players. The two forwards hit Kobe before and after, and the height and strength suppressed Kobe making it very difficult for him to catch the ball. Even after receiving the ball, the shot space was compressed to the extreme.
That's right! 2 personal anti-Kobe! The other three are against the Lakers and the other four players.
This is Jordan's law, the godfather of the Pistons Chuck Dai used this tactic to seal Jordan in the east for many years!
This tactic is an absolute conspiracy. Use two players to take your superstar out of the game. If your four teammates can beat the remaining three defenders, you win. If not, no matter how strong the player is, he will be helpless.
Pippen, Jordan, Kukoch, and Hos Grant around Jordan had no way to crack this tactic of the Bad Boys. He tried a lot of methods, there are without balls, face and back. But it's useless. This tactic is just to bully your teammates. If your teammates can't stand up, Jordan cannot beat the Pistons.
Jordan's law is a subversion of the traditional basketball concept. The traditional defensive concept is always to use the most defensive players to exert pressure on defense, focusing on the defensive attack on the restricted area, and relax in the middle and distance. This defensive concept occupies more than half of the history of the U.S. professional basketball team. Many ancient defensive top teams follow this strategy to defend.
And Chuck Daly subverted all this. He used two players to invite the opposing star to play, and then used the remaining three players to prevent more. In basketball, offensive has an advantage over defensive, and less defense is more a fantasy. The top players' ability to pass the ball is very strong, as long as you defend less, you are destined to have a lot of empty seats.
Chuck Daly did just that, and it succeeded.
At that time, the Bulls team was so bad, and the Pistons' defensive player ability was so strong. Even if three people defend four Bulls players, it will not fall. Defensive tough guys like Rodman Lambier can often defend less.
This is the strongest defensive tactic against single players in history, at the expense of the absolute suppression of a single star in exchange for the overall defense of the team.
In this game, P-J-Carlesimo also used this tactic to bring Kobe out of the game.
Kobe stood akimbo near the midfielder LOGO. Even if he stood so far, Isiah Leder and Cliff Robinson were still staring at Kobe.
And Kobe looked at his teammates who could not keep hitting efficiently with 4 or 3, shook his head, the trend is gone, this game is gone.
Kobe may be able to continue scoring under Jordan's law, but the physical energy required to receive the ball and attack can't support him to complete the two quarters of personal takeover. This is why Jordan may have a high score in the face of the Pistons, but he still cannot win the game.
It's not that they have no way to score, but that such a score doesn't hurt the opponent at all and won't win the game.
The philosophy of basketball offense is to create empty space and then hit a shot. This is common in any tactical concept, and when the star attracts the open space, the teammates can not hit the shot, then you ca n’t win the game.
Jordan's law gives you the free space directly, can't you always vote? If you want to vote, if you have voted, it's okay to say, if you can't vote and your superstar is invited to the game, it must be a fiasco.
The game ended, the Lakers 72:88 Trail Blazers.
Defeated, the Lakers had the lowest score in a single game this season. Even though Kobe played a few waves of offense on the court to take over the game, the Lakers' offense still couldn't seize the opportunity and catch up with the score.
"Avidas, playing awesome." Shaq O'Neal praised Sabonis heartily. In this game, Sabonis scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and shot and passed the Lakers.
Is indeed the roof of the world, it is difficult to imagine that this is a 32-year-old injured Sabonis, if he can attack the U.S. basketball in his early years, maybe he is a center legend.
"Shaq, see you in the playoffs." Sabonis's perseverance, deep eyebrows and big eyes were born to give a reliable feeling.
Even Shaq had only 11 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist in the game, but Sabonis knew that the Sharks would always be the mortal enemy that the Blazers wanted to move to a higher stage.
Sabonis came to the US Basketball for the championship.
This is just a regular season, there are thousands of accidents in the regular season. O'Neill doesn't care much about losing. In his opinion, the regular season is just a regular season after all, it doesn't make much sense.
But Kobe is different, every defeat makes him angry. Even after playing a career for 20 years, Bryant was still angry and ignored the Trail Blazers player and walked back to the locker room alone.
Hateful, if you are stronger.
Kobe scored 10 of 18 shots, 23 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists in this game. It can be said to be the only player in the Lakers to play normally. Considering the defensive arrangement of the Trail Blazers, Kobe has done what he can. By the way, there is no way to be better for any star in the history of the league.
How can his teammates be too miserable to return to heaven?
Kobe summarized in the locker room. There are several key points to lose in this game. O'Neill didn't play enough aggressiveness inside the game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Lakers' defense didn't prevent the Blazers from inside and outside. Tactical layout. Sabonis' shot was so good that no one interrupted his offensive rhythm.
The most important point is that the open shot cannot be grasped. In this game, the Lakers cast the season's lowest field goal percentage of 38.4%. Such a hit rate is too difficult to win.
But the state of the team's downturn will definitely recover slowly, it is not surprising that such a state in 5 days 4 games.
Kobe is confident that if he meets the Blazers in the playoffs, he can easily take away 4: 0.
At this time, the TV in the dressing room was broadcasting the game of the Jazz against the Bulls. In the end, the Jazz lost to the Bulls 89: 102. Although Jordan still had a bad hand for most of the time, he only scored 23 points on 8-of-20 shooting. After the Bulls lost to the Lakers, Jordan's state has been sluggish.
But at the last critical moment Jordan still stood up, stealing against Stockton's single defense, killing the game suspense with defense, let Karl Malone's 27 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists go to waste.
In this way, the Chicago Bulls' record came to 28 wins and 5 losses. Only one more defeat than the Lakers' 30 wins and 4 losses.
Weak teams look at winning games, and strong teams look at losing games.
In other words, the current record of the Bulls is similar to that of the Lakers, and the Lakers League's first position has been challenged.
The Lakers' next seven-match leader's schedule was very comfortable, and there was no back-to-back.
Seven home games against the Hornets, Heat, Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Pistons, Mavericks, Warriors.
But there are four strong teams in the playoffs, Hornets, Heat, Trail Blazers, Pistons.
Korby is a bit worried. If he is not treated carefully, he may swallow two or three defeats, which will really give the league the first hand.
