Chapter 367
"There is obviously a loophole in the defense of the Green Army. But it can't be said that there is a loophole. It can only be said that the Lakers' offense is too strong. Kobe and Li Tian are restraining the outside line, and there are twin towers guarding the inside line!" Director Zhang analyzed The situation on the field.

"Then if you were Rivers, how would you break the situation?" Yu Jia asked.

"It's difficult, but it's not impossible. The Celtics need a player to reorganize their offense. If there is a player like Kobe who can tear apart the Lakers' defense, I think the Celtics' offense will be very effective! "The attention Director Zhang gave seems easy, but it's not that easy.

If the Lakers hadn't picked up Li Tian for nothing through the trade, the current Lakers would also be very difficult, and would have irreparable flaws at the small forward position.

"We need to change our defensive strategy and stop blindly man-to-man defense." Rivers' initial tactic has failed. Man-to-man Lakers have Kobe, who can tear the line of defense and attract double-teams. This is still not started. Kobe in the scoring mode, if the scoring mode is turned on, the defense line of the Celtics will only be more vulnerable.

"Rondo is on the perimeter, so you can take a break from Fisher and double-team Kobe. Next, use zone defense tactics. If Lee is on the inside, he will defend in two or three zones. If he goes outside, he will defend in three or two zones. Do you understand? "Parsons was too slow to move forward in time to cover.

"Next, on the offensive end, Rondo, you want Garnett, you want to do this, Ray Allen, you keep Kobe's defense on the outside." Rivers glanced at Pierce, and now this point is giving him a headache. Entering the inside, then Li Tian can increase the strength of the inside defense; if on the outside, the threat to Ray Allen is also not small.

After a short pause, he continued, "Pierce, attack the basket more with the ball, and other players will have the opportunity to make pick-and-rolls and air cuts."

This season, Rivers also felt that some unnoticed changes had taken place within the team, especially Pierce's biggest psychological change.The arrival of Garnett made him lose too much in the team. Without the blessing of a championship, it is difficult to smooth out the anger in his heart.

That's why, just now dissed by Li Tian, ​​he didn't refute, but he was thinking about what to do next. The only consolation is that the Green Army's record this season is good, and this is also because he suppressed the anger in his heart. For reasons in his heart, he pinned his hopes on winning the championship this season.

On the home team's bench, a miraculous scene occurred.It wasn't Phil holding the tactical board, but Kobe and Li Tian, ​​who were discussing something with their teammates over there. No matter who it was, they would draw a few strokes on the tactical board from time to time.

"How is it? Do you have any questions about this fight?" Kobe looked up at everyone.

There are 5 starters, Fisher is a good guy, he can do his job very well every time; Bynum has no right to speak, Kobe will not ask him if he asks anyone, this season he is just a Display; Gasol nodded, no objection.

In fact, what Kobe wanted to ask was Li Tian, ​​and everyone else was just talking casually.

"No problem. If anything goes wrong on the court, we will quickly change our tactics. Don't rely too much on one tactic. We must use tactics that are always changing, so that the Green Army can take care of one thing and lose another." Li Tian also knows that the triangle offense is able to Dominating the league for so many years, of course, has the bonus of stars like Jordan and Kobe, but the ever-changing triangle offense is the basis for truly dominating the league.

"Okay, then fight like this!" None of the people objected.

"Beep!" The referee whistled, and the timeout ended.

"What happened? Why didn't Phil say a word during the timeout?" This has to make people wonder if there is something wrong with the Lakers.

Smith felt that the Lakers management would definitely not have the idea of ​​terminating Phil's contract. This is the defending season, how could the team fire Phil.

Not only TNT's studio is like this, but even 5 sets of studios are performing the same.

"Director Zhang, the Lakers bench, something different seems to have happened. During the entire timeout, Phil didn't say a word, and the tactical board was in the hands of Kobe and Li Tian." Yu Jia was equally confused.

"Well, it may be because Phil's body is a little uncomfortable, or his throat is a little uncomfortable, so it's like this, otherwise he will definitely not ignore the team." They are very confused.

But the game goes on.

Rondo holds the ball and attacks at the top of the arc.With the help of Ray Allen's pick-and-roll, he went to the basket, Li Tian quickly made up the defense, Rondo scored the ball to Pierce, and after receiving the ball, he made a mid-range shot.

"Touch!" Hit the iron again.

Pierce is also very helpless, feeling surprisingly bad today.

Li Tian grabbed the rebound and gave the ball to Kobe. This time the fast break was not completed, and was destroyed by the fast-down Rondo.

Everyone settled down, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, and passed Ray Allen's defense. Rondo quickly completed the defense from the other side to prevent Kobe from going to the basket.

The breakthrough speed stagnated, and Garnett, who was under the basket, quickly moved across.

Li Tian, ​​who was outside the three-point line, had already run out of the open with the help of Fisher's pick-and-roll.

Kobe returned the pass from the outside and gave it to Li Tian who was outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, he made a three-pointer.

"Shua!" A three-pointer was hit.

The Green Army's zone defense was disrupted by Kobe's breakthrough. The outside pick-and-roll, getting rid of Pierce, and the three-two zone defense have been broken.

Rivers was frowning. He played against the Lakers before, and there was no player with a strong three-point ability on the outside.How to defend, this is not a problem that Rivers is struggling with alone, but a problem that the entire league is struggling with.

There are twin towers on the inside, Kobe and Li Tian on the outside, and Fisher, who is as stable as an old dog, can be ignored most of the time, but at critical moments, he is also a player that cannot be ignored.

"Three points.!" The live DJ shouted passionately.

2:12 The Lakers lead by 10 points.

"Man, is my pass good?" Kobe said. Even if he broke through the four-team and successfully dunked, he would not say a word to his teammates.

"No, I still have to rely on my three-pointer to end it. They are almost double-teamed by three-pointers. You should pass the ball earlier!" I didn't care about Kobe's murderous eyes.

Bynum is really envious, the entire team, and only Li Tian can do this.

"Damn it, don't think about me passing the ball to you next time!"

"If you don't pass the ball, you must hit the iron. Look at your stats. How iron is it?"

"It's because they are afraid of me, that's why they double-team me!"

Looking back, Garnett hit the inside singles.

In the next few minutes, the Green Army's defense line was penetrated by the Lakers time and time again.Kobe made a few dashes, then replaced Li Tian with a few inside calls, and finally made an alley-oop.

The offense of the Green Army is also slightly more stable.

However, the point difference was still widened by the Lakers.

"Shua!" Ray Allen finally hit a three-pointer from the outside line, breaking the 0% three-point shooting rate of the Green Army's outside line.

At 10:24, in just 10 minutes, the Lakers widened the point difference to 14 points.

"Ray Allen, that's great!" Rivers almost forgot when he would be so excited because of a three-pointer.The frequent strikes of the Green Army's outside line allowed the Lakers to fully compress the inside line, and the Green Army's offense almost stalled.

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, both teams replaced substitute players. Li Tian saw Allen of the Celtics was replaced, patted Vujacic on the shoulder, and said nothing.

But he thought in his heart that this is the best chance to really test whether he has improved recently.Can it withstand Allen's defense? If it can withstand it, there is still hope in the future. If it cannot withstand it, what will happen in the future?

Rivers still kept Ray Allen on the court, hoping to use his three-pointers to catch up with some scores during the time when he came off the bench.

Of course, in the past few minutes, Ray Allen did not disappoint Rivers. He continued to hit two three-pointers on the outside.Li Tian couldn't help but wonder if the Green Army would let him play the whole game again.During the finals, such a situation happened, wouldn't you still play like this in the regular season?

Vujacic was also badly played. Allen's close defense prevented him from forming any effective offense.Last season, he still occasionally played good statistics, but this season the statistics gradually declined. Maybe it won't be long before his position will be replaced by Sun Yue.

Skier's position in the team has become even more embarrassing. He was the team's starter last season. After Bynum's return this season, the team's main rotation from the beginning of the season to now has averaged less than 10 minutes per game.There have been injuries recently, and his playing time has dropped sharply. Ariza has perfectly replaced him.

Both offensive and defensive ends have been abolished. It cannot be said that he was abolished. It can only be said that the current Lakers do not have much playing time for him. The only thing that may welcome him is to be traded.

At the regular rotation time, Ray Allen also narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points. At 22:31, the Lakers only scored 7 points from the bench.When the substitute was replaced, the players who started the game did not give them any good looks, and they were also ashamed.

In the second quarter, after the Lakers made their debut, they once again played a wave of offensive climax.

Kobe and Li Tian rushed to the basket in a row, and every time they broke through to the basket, Garnett would move sideways and quickly step forward to help defend.Faced with such a defense, Gasol became the biggest beneficiary, eating and drinking under the basket, and scored several consecutive layups under the basket.

Became the team's highest scoring player in the second quarter, scoring 8 points, and Bynum also completed two lobs, scoring 4 points.It can be said that the Lakers played an excellent offensive and defensive first half. In the battle of contradictions, the Celtics became the best whetstone.

45:61 The Lakers widened the point difference to 16 points.

"In the first half, I always felt that the Green Army was sleepwalking. They didn't form a good offensive and defensive system. The defensive system they relied on for survival lost their own defense under the bombardment of Kobe and Li Tian!" Barkley could tell at a glance that the Celtics hadn't shown their original strengths at all on the defensive end.

"Not only did their defense lose themselves, but their offense also fell into singles. If they hadn't had a Big Three lineup, I think they would have been defeated!" Smith is not optimistic about the Green Army today. Solve this problem, then the Lakers will be a mountain they will never be able to overcome.
