I really just want to be a role player

"The strength gap between the two sides is beginning to show gradually!
Next, let's see if the Jazz can survive. They have to come up with a more efficient offense to give the Lakers back.

On the court, Mo Williams dribbled the ball to the top arc, and still started UCLA to cut..."

The ball was given to Hayward on the wing. Millsap mentioned the high position and wanted to make a pick-and-roll for Mo Williams. , Like a scalpel, tearing through the Lakers' defense.

However, this tactic is all too common!

As soon as Hayward received the ball, he was pressed by Subei. Mo William wanted to make an air cut, but was directly blocked by Paul. Such a simple tactic, but the Lakers still have a little bit of respect for basketball. It's not enough for the Jazz to easily make such a mediocre cut.

The Jazz also acted as if they had been forewarned, and didn't care too much about whether this UCLA starting tactic could be successful.

Hayward quickly flipped the ball back to Mo Williams, however, made a counterrun and cut to the basket.

Millsap moved over to cover for Hayward, and was broken by Su Bei without panic.

"Hayward moved from the left to the right, bringing Subei's defense to the right.

Mo Williams gave the basketball to Millsap in the low post, picked Jordan Hill on the spot list with the ball, stepped down and dribbled continuously, and made a step-back half-block and a fallback jump shot..."

Jordan Hill's athletic ability is very good. It seems to be in place when he flies over to block the block. In fact, it is just an illusion.

Swish-!
Guess wrong, Millsap's half-stop pistol has cartridges.

With a height of 2 meters and a power forward, without height and without a basket, it is difficult to get ahead.

This season, Millsap's mid-range shooting percentage is only 49%, which is incomparable to 53% at the peak. After all, his teammates have changed from Deron Williams to Mo Williams.

The two are both Williams and All-Star point guards, but their influence on the game is not at the same level.

Moreover, knowing that Millsap has this unique skill, it is impossible, absolutely impossible not to be targeted for defense.

Of course, Millsap's shooting percentage has dropped a lot, but it is still possible to deal with rough guys like Jordan Hill.

9 to 12! !
Off the court, Mike Brown was very dissatisfied with the Lakers' defense, but his face was calm.

After all, the Lakers don't understand defense, and neither can the Jazz.

Looking back, the Lakers attacked.

Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt, or passed the ball to Gasol, who was mentioned in the high position, and then cut inside to the basket.

"Pau Gasol blocked Mo Williams, hand-offed the ball to Paul, played small and big, misplaced and attacked Al Jefferson's defense.

With a feint layup, Paul got an offensive opportunity like crossing the road in the early morning, and with an ordinary pick, he sent the damn basketball into the basket..."

Swish-!
Gasol and Paul teamed up to bully the Jazz's lack of basket protection, calling out Al Jefferson's weak offensive and defensive weaknesses, and easily scored two points.

9 to 14! !
"Very nice cooperation, the Lakers' triangle offensive tactic, in fact, is also a variant of UCLA's air cut.

It is also a three-person cooperation between the point guard, the wing and the inside.

The standard UCLA air cut has a very clear division of labor. Every player needs to participate in a part of the offense. The advantage is that ordinary players can easily execute it.

The triangle offensive tactic has very high requirements on the personal abilities of the players.

Passing and screens are handed over to the axis of the triangle offense, which is completed by Gasol, and one person assumes two roles.

For this three-axis offense, in addition to excellent screening skills and passing support skills, you also need to have excellent shooting skills to teach the opponent's defense and not easily pinch the offensive player who receives the ball.

In addition to the very high pivot point of Gasol, there are also high requirements for the two offensive points of the triangle offensive tactic.

In order to be able to open up the space, these two offensive points are required to have three-point shooting and the ability to run without the ball.

Compared with UCLA air cuts, the triangle offensive tactical system is more three-dimensional offensive..."

Subei's three-pointer, Gasol's mid-range shot, and Paul's rush to the basket, the three offensive ranges are all scoring threats.

UCLA's tactical attack is more single, mainly attacking the basket.

In the first few rounds, after a simple test, the players on the Lakers immediately responded defensively.

On the field, Mo Williams took control of the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Hayward. Subei did not get close, but took half a step and shrunk inside the three-point line.

Same goes for Paul, against Mo Williams' offense.

"Hayward received the basketball, didn't try a three-point shot, but quickly handed the ball back to Mo Williams.

Whoa, Millsapura comes out and runs a high pick-and-roll for Mo Williams, and Mo Williams gets flanked..."

Paul and Jordan Hill emptied Millsap and quickly pinched Mo Williams.

When the basketball was passed to Millsap, Jordan Hill quickly recovered the defense, and Paul also assisted in the defense. Anyway, it was forcing the Jazz to shoot away from the basket.

"Millsap didn't have a wave, flipped the ball to Al Jefferson in the right corner of the bull, took the ball and hit Gasol with his back.

Hey, Kobe directly emptied Marvin Williams, retracted back and flanked Al Jefferson with Gasol.

The space in the paint area was compressed, and Al Jefferson also did not make a strong play. He quickly distributed the ball to Marvin Williams who was open, and the right three-point corner, received the ball, lifted it up, and raised his hand to make a three-point jumper. shot..."

Kobe was very active and threw himself back to the defense, but he was still active and couldn't go back. He could only listen to the gunshots.

Bang-dang-!
"Three points missed!!

The opportunity came out, and Marvin Williams made a three-pointer, but it was useless.

Rebound snatch?
The Lakers had the upper hand, Jordan Hill got the basketball, threw it to Chris Paul, dribbled the ball quickly and counterattacked..."

Subei and Kobe continued to play music, then rushed, one left and one right, like two sharp knives, quickly pierced the Jazz's hinterland.

Paul turned over Subei's card again, forming a 2v1 situation in the frontcourt.

"Subei has no waves with the ball, and the pattern is great!

Actually threw it to Kobe on the left again, and dribbled the ball towards the basket.

Gangzhen, this is the most stable counter attack!
Kobe rushed to the basket with the ball, and Hayward retreated to the penalty area. Facing Kobe's layup, Hayward also quickly jumped...

Do not!
Kobe showed off a back pass, made a false pass, and distributed the damn basketball to the right three-point corner. This ball should not be a steady two-pointer, but a risky three-pointer, which is very unreasonable!
But the one who catches the ball is Su Bei, so it is very reasonable, catch the ball, lift it up, aim, and raise your hand is a three-point jump shot..."

Three meters away from Subei, there was no one there, and the Jazz could only bet that Subei's three-point pistol had no bullets.

Swish-!
9 to 17! !
Wrong guess, there are bullets in Su Bei's three-dimensional pistol! !

"pretty!!

Subei made a precise three-pointer.

That's called professionalism!

In the same three-point shot from the right three-point corner, Marvin Williams' shot went wide, and Su Bei's three-point shot made a steady hit.

In this round of offense, Su Bei's three-pointer was not very lethal, but extremely insulting!

The Lakers can't live without the Jazz's [-]-point shot..."

Su Bei's three-point shooting has broken away from the low-level interest of data, and is at a level that can kill opponents.

As for Marvin Williams, who just joined the Jazz this season, his three-point shooting percentage continued to drop, only 32% from the field, averaging 2 shots per game, and hitting a level of 0.7.

Hayward's three-point shooting percentage has increased to 41%. He has the potential to kill the game, but he averages 3.4 shots per game and hits 1.4. Basically, he takes wide-open shots. He will use such a three-point shooting threat to test the Lakers The defense line of the team, who can not stand such a three-point test!

Sure enough, after Sloan retired, the Jazz were still a team that was not good at shooting long three-pointers.

Next, the Lakers defensively began to pile up people in the penalty area frequently, compressing the offensive space of the Jazz's two-pointers.

"Millsap received the ball from the low post on the left and was immediately defended by Subei.

Millsap's offense was tight and he couldn't find a shot at all. He could only throw the basketball out. Hayward caught the ball again and Su Bei quickly returned to defense.

Hayward still didn't try a three-point shot, and quickly transferred the ball back to Mo Williams.

At the same time, Millsap, who had no room to attack in the low post, pulled up to the high post and made a screen for Mo Williams to block Paul's pressing. Mo Williams moved a step to the side and immediately pulled the ball up, raising The hand is a three-point pull-up jump shot..."

Mo Williams also wanted to be a good guy and play a tactical two-point offense, but the Lakers blocked the offensive space. He had no choice but to continue to try to break the Lakers' defense with three-point shots.

Bang-dang-!
If you don't listen to Lu Xun's advice, you will die if you try.

"Xiao Mo's three points, also sent!!

Sure enough, the Lakers' defensive targeting was very effective. After Sloan retired, the Jazz were still the same boy they used to be, and the threat of three-point shooting has not changed a little.

The Lakers can continue and not take the Jazz's three-point shooting as a living.

Hey, Al Jefferson did a great job. He grabbed the offensive rebound strongly, landed on the back, and then turned around and jumped up for a layup. With a hook in the air, he avoided Gasol's block and went into Basket..."

Swish-!
You can't score without a single shot. If you can't, then the second time!
Al Jefferson brought back the basketball the Jazz had lost, and then made up the second attack to help the Jazz score two crucial points.

In other words, in addition to being a hooker, Al Jefferson is also a thick and short rebounder. It is not surprising that Gasol can't compare.

11 to 17! !
The point difference is only 6 points, which is the distance of two three-pointers. The Jazz still have time to catch up!
In the subsequent offense, Kobe received a pass from Paul, singled out Marvin Williams, broke into the three-point line, made an emergency stop for two points and then made a pull-up jumper...

Bang-dang-!
"Kobe's shot sent.

The Jazz got the rebound and immediately rushed up with the ball to fight back.

Mo Williams rushed to the frontcourt, changed direction, continued to break through the penalty area, and then used his speed to force a layup... No, he flicked the basketball behind him in the air, and Millsap who came out took the ball. Slam dunk with both hands, blast the basketball into the hoop...

Bang-dang-!
Millsap's whole body was hung on the rim and continued to help the Jazz score.

The Jazz's offense is on the rise, and they are approaching the point difference..."

Looking back, Paul broke through with the ball and played a pick-and-roll tactic with Gasol who was pulled to the high post. After throwing off Mo Williams, Paul stopped and pulled the ball up, and raised his hand to shoot a two-point jumper... …

Swish-!
"Yes!!

Paul scored a beautiful two-point offense.

This is Paul's best attack method, the unsolvable mid-range shot, coupled with the shot opportunities created by the pick-and-roll tactics, it is a question of giving points, it is really unbeatable..."

After the first quarter, the score was 33 to 24, and the Lakers took a 9-point lead.

The Jazz's three-pointer never opened, and the team made 5 of 1 shots, which was nothing.

The three-pointer is not a threat. When the two-point offensive area is compressed, although they can take advantage of the basketball board and use the second offensive opportunity to score, they can bite some points, but the Lakers still rely on the advantage of the three-pointer to accumulate bit by bit. advantage in winning.

苏北首节5中4，三分4中3，罚球1中1，轰下12分2篮板2助攻，进攻上成为最靓的那个仔。

Defensively, Hayward was only 3-for-1, and the only goal was a sneak attack at the basket. Rounding off, Hayward was blown up, showing both offensive and defensive abilities.

Kobe was 5 of 3, and Paul was 4 of 3. They both scored 6 points, and their performance was not bad.
