Chapter 259
At six o'clock in the evening on the 31st, the oil pipe center.

In the locker room of the away Lakers, Kobe, Garnett and others were discussing how to defend Su Yang, while there was a huge roar of music outside the door, and the lyrics "We are the champions" could be heard clearly. Obviously, the Clippers were conducting the championship ring awarding ceremony.

Hearing the singing, Kobe couldn't help but think of Game 44.2 of the Western Conference semifinals in May, when the Lakers led the Clippers by 8 points in the last 100 seconds. There were 99 such situations, and [-] of them would be the promotion of the Lakers. A fast-paced three-pointer, I missed the ball very coincidentally, let the victory slip away completely, and it hurts every time I think about it.

After thinking about it, Kobe said: "According to the analysis of the scouting report and the past experience of fighting, Su Yang will probably play off the ball or favor the organization at the beginning of the game, but no matter which way he chooses, we must try our best. Get physical first, make sure he's not comfortable dribbling, destroy his muscle memory, never let him play comfortably."

Garnett and Artest nodded slightly, Ariza and Lagabel nodded again and again, all agreeing with Kobe's point of view.

To defend top ball-handlers and off-ball masters like Su Yang, what area double-teaming and local three-defense and two-defense are the basic means. The most important thing is not to let Su Yang dribble easily, otherwise he will change hands from behind and forcefully double-team the two. The group gap breaks through the one-stop dunk...

The singing of "We are the champions" was heard again outside the locker room. Head coach Phil Jackson walked in, stopped and glanced at the Lakers generals, then turned silently and picked up a black marker to write 3-1 and 44.2 seconds 13 points on the tactical whiteboard Two lines of big characters.

After finishing writing, Phil Jackson threw down his marker pen and turned coldly to leave. In his opinion, there was no need for more pre-match lectures.

Those words were like a sharp blade in the void, quickly slashing through the hearts of Lakers players who participated in the Western Conference semifinals last season, such as Kobe, Garnett and Lagabel.It's too dazzling, a 3-1 lead was overturned, and 44 points were scored in 13 seconds, it hurts!

Lagabel looked up at Kobe and Garnett, and the three turned their eyes to Artest and Ariza, reaching an agreement invisibly.

Tonight, Su Yang must feel the strongest defense!
...

Inside the stadium, Stern finished his speech.

More than 9000 fans at the scene cheered everywhere. Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Scarlett Johansson, the three leading actresses of "The Devil Wears Prada", stood up and applauded. Welcome Su Yang to come out and receive first ring.

Su Yang stepped up to Stern's side and raised his hand to hold it lightly. He took the ring and put it on the middle finger of his left hand, juxtaposing it with last year's championship ring worn on his left index finger. Then he raised his left hand to show it to the fans, and the MVP shouted loudly. Che the arena.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Su Yang picked up the microphone and gave a speech, "I'm very happy to celebrate with the best Clippers fans in the world again at such a glorious moment. The teammate I'm going to introduce is an old guy who can't shoot, doesn't defend, nonsense But a lot."

Laughter erupted in the arena, and the big screen in the center showed Payton standing on the sidelines. He was full of pride and confidence, showing that he was not worried about what Su Yang said, and Su Yang said at the same time: "But at the critical moment, he There's always going to be shots..."

There were waves of cheers, and Payton followed Su Yang's introduction into the arena, and raised his hand to take the ring and the microphone.

Champion member referrals continue.

In the live broadcast of ESPN, host Mike Brin said with a smile: "Jeff, from a coach's point of view, how should a team limit Su Yang better? The cases we have so far show that defending Su Yang is the best ball. The teams are the Spurs and Pistons."

Jeff Van Gundy turned his head when he heard the words, subconsciously wanted to use the Rockets as an example, and suddenly realized that he had been fired, so he quickly changed his words: "Destroy his dribbling rhythm! Whether it is the big man attacking in advance, or the weak side shrinks and controls the march." Routes, all attempts must focus on disrupting his dribbling rhythm, and cannot let him enter the playing mode he is most familiar with..."

During the conversation, the ring awarding ceremony was completed.

The lights around the arena were turned on, and the announcer Ralph Lawler loudly announced the visiting team's appearance on the field, and boos were heard everywhere.

Su Yang walked to the sidelines, bumped fists with female stars such as Hathaway and Scarlett, and high-fived Leonardo and others.

The short whistle sounded, and the two teams started to enter the court and stood around the middle circle. Point guard Su Yang faced Kobe, shooting guard Ray Allen faced Lagabel, small forward Iguodala faced Artest, and the Forward Varejao vs Garnett, center Milicic vs Mihm.

Seeing that Mim played, Su Yang was a little surprised. He heard that Mim would miss the Chuanhu battle in the new season due to surgery recovery before the preseason game, but now he is coming back early. Beat the Clippers with injuries.

If you hit him with an injury, that's really ruthless.

Anyway, I want to do the Clippers.

"JUMP BALL!" As the announcer yelled the jump ball, the referee simultaneously raised his hand and threw the ball into the air.

Snapped!The Lakers won the jump ball and launched the first attack.

Bryant advanced with the ball, ran across the center line and raised his hand to call for tactics, then threw the ball to Bell, who came out of the left wing with a screen, and then started to rush to the right elbow. At the same time, Artest used Garnett to cover from the right Side short corners cut across the paint.

Artest rushed to the short corner on the left, covered by Mihm, who had previously screened, and went straight to the left wing position to catch the ball, while Garnett turned around and raised his back to screen at the same time. Kobe took the opportunity to get rid of Su Yang and rushed to the right lower back The body is stuck, and it also has the threat of empty cutting and attacking the basket.

Compared with the triangle offense bound to represent Phil Jackson, the Lakers obviously played a LOOP tactic after the opening.

Both Mihm and Garnett made two screens, successfully helping Artest to complete the position on the left wing and Kobe on the right waist. The effect of concealing the offensive target is much better than the triangle offense, that is, the running distance is larger and the body contact is more. Physical exertion is hard to say.

There were bursts of defensive shouts in the arena.

Bell dribbled the ball to the top of the return arc, looked left and looked again, maybe because he was not that familiar with his new teammate Artest, facing two positions with almost equal opportunities, he raised his hand and threw the ball 45 degrees to the right, while Garnett catches the ball after finishing the back screen.

Kobe immediately raised his hand to get the ball, tricked Su Yang into half-circling forward, started and rushed to Garnett, took over and passed the ball, and used the screen to throw Su Yang away, pretending to break through at the top of the arc, but actually changed hands behind him and walked to the sideline , pushing Varejao to the short corner.

The short corner on the right is Kobe's sweet spot. He made an emergency stop and made a fadeaway mid-range shot.

There were cheers in the arena, Milicic jumped high to grab the rebound, and landed to Iguodala who was near the sideline.

The Clippers launched a counterattack, starting with an inside and four outside formation. Iguodala quickly brought the ball to the arena name on the right side of the frontcourt, while Ray Allen and Varejao ran 45 degrees to the left at the same time. Forming a basic echelon cover, Su Yang took the opportunity to run back from the left wing.

Seeing that Su Yang was about to catch the ball, Garnett decisively gave up Varejao and made a slight delay to buy time for Kobe to catch up. Chris Mim, who had been marking Milicic, shrank inside at the same time, preparing to assist Varejao, who was cutting and rushing to the basket. Lejo, to prevent Iguodala from putting the ball straight into the paint, Artest also shrunk to the inside at the same time, emptied Iguodala, and prevented the basketball from being given to Milicic too quickly.

The Lakers' defensive rotation in an instant is as precise as a Cartier mechanical watch, with no loopholes.

Unless Iguodala becomes a super long three-point shooter.

Otherwise, even Iguodala can stop it from rushing to the basket.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang saw that the free throw line was empty, without any thought, he instinctively gave up on the top of the arc to catch the ball, did not slow down and chase, changed direction and rushed to the free throw line, and raised his hand to receive a pass from Iguodala. Take advantage of the momentum to take off, grab the ball and throw it high to hit the board.

The basketball slammed into the net.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

In the live broadcast seat, Jeff Van Gundy exclaimed: "AMAZING! What a smart decision! Su Yang seems to have the perspective of God. He found an opportunity to take advantage of in half a second, and completed the catch and shot in half a second. It was difficult for Garnett and Ron. interference."

Mike Brown said: "He doesn't have any dribbling movements, like casting spells instantly in a game, it is difficult for defenders to adapt."

Offensive and defensive transitions on the court, triangle conduction starts.

The Lakers will open up space, Garnett catches the ball with his left waist and hits Varejao hard with his back, then turns forward and hits the basket with a hook and hits the iron.

Iguodala ran and took off to catch the rebound, landed and turned around to observe the position of the audience. He suddenly raised his hand and made a long pass to the left center line, while Ray Allen received the ball and accelerated, subconsciously trying to make an evil pass to the right elbow. Su Yang, but the Lakers retreated quickly and cut off the passing route.

Ray Allen hurriedly passed the ball across, and Milicic, who followed up simultaneously, received the ball at a 45-degree right.Seeing this, Su Yang turned around and started to run to the left, blocking Chris Mim who entered the inside line early, creating a big chance for Milicic to single out Kobe.

It may not be possible to make it.

But that doesn't require too much skill. Milicic rushes in with his weight, which can at least consume Kobe's physical strength. Defensive chaos.

While thinking about it, Su Yang crossed the free throw line and was in charge of Mim, who was originally responsible for defending Milicic. Because Kobe was defending Milicic, he failed to switch defenses to keep up with the rhythm. The side waist set up a wall to block Garnett.

For a while, Su Yang, who ran to the left 45-degree three-point line, was unstopped. Milicic raised his hand and made a cross.

First, Ray Allen crossed from left to right, then Milicic crossed from right to left, and there was an unexpected change of defense. The Lakers' defensive formation was chaotic, but Garnett on the left quickly bypassed Varejao, and the top of the arc Bell hurriedly gave up on Ray Allen and pounced at the same time.

That defensive reaction was super fast.

But Su Yang was even faster. He didn't catch the ball and patted it to find the rhythm. He kicked off the ground and shot a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Cheers erupted from all around the arena, the Lakers made a fast break, Kobe dribbled the ball to the right wing of the front court, slowed down and turned around to seek cover, but in fact pulled the ball in the opposite direction and rushed to the short corner on the right in the blink of an eye, facing the three of them Surround the ball and jump to the basket.

when!The basketball hit the rim and bounced into the net.

In the live broadcast, Jeff Van Gundy sighed: "Kobe's rhythm is so good! From rushing with the ball, to making an emergency stop to observe the defense, and then to forcefully breaking through the three-man encirclement, his thinking and actions happened continuously without any stagnation. , the dribble is too smooth."

Offensive and defensive transitions on the court, the Clippers also rushed to start a fast break.

Starting with a five-out formation, Iguodala rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, and Su Yang started from the short corner on the right side at the same time. Jumped out with two points in his hand, but he smashed the basket and hit the iron.

The basketball rebounded and jumped to the top of the arc. Milicic, who was delayed in landing, received the ball. Su Yang retreated to the right wing after seeing this.Milicic gave the ball at the same time, and Su Yang took it in his hands, ignoring Garnett's frontal pressing and Bell's side pounce, and pushed the ball for a three-pointer without dribbling.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 8 to 2.

"Wow! amazing!"

Jeff Van Gundy exclaimed, "The Lakers' defense reacts very quickly, but Su Yang seems to deliberately not make dribble adjustments, faster!"

Offensive and defensive transitions on the court, the Lakers' triangle transmission started.

I didn't think about it, maybe it was because I was new to the game and I wasn't used to it. Artest's passing strength was slightly off, and Garnett couldn't catch it.

The basketball flew straight out of bounds, and the referee whistled for a violation, and the Clippers got the chance to attack from the bottom line of the backcourt.

Cheering shouts sounded at the scene, the Clippers shot from inside to outside, and Ray Allen dribbled the ball to the left side of the frontcourt at 45 degrees, making a gesture to pass to Varejao in the left corner, but Varejao's long shot couldn't fool him Man, honestly throw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line.

Su Yang received the ball and immediately passed to Milicic who was stuck in the right elbow area, and then started to rush to the basket to make a pass and cut cooperation, while Iguodala in the right corner started to rush to the basket along the bottom line at the same time , The two instantly took all the attention of the Lakers.

No matter how you look at it, at least one of them has to go to the basket.

In an instant, Iguodala made a sudden stop and turned back. The short corner wall blocked Kobe who was chasing with all his strength. Su Yang gave up rushing to the basket and rushed to the bottom corner on the right instead. Before standing still, Milicic returned a pass. Ignoring Artest's pounce, he raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

Without dribbling to find rhythm, Artest has no time to interfere.

Baodi went into the net hollowly, 11 to 2.

The referee's whistle blew at the same time, the Lakers asked for a timeout, and the live broadcast footage was shown to Zen Master, with a slightly surprised expression on his face.

Cheers resounded in the tubing center, Su Yang and his teammates gave high-fives, and on the ESPN live broadcast, Mike Breen asked: "At the beginning of the game, you mentioned that you want to restrict Su Yang and interfere with his dribbling, but now he He doesn't dribble..."

The central big screen simultaneously gave out data: Su Yang scored 5 points on 4 of 11 shots in the opening game, and the total time of shots took three seconds.
