I really just want to be a role player

After losing to the Knicks, the Lakers ended their Eastern Conference road trip.

At this time, the record became 21 wins and 4 losses.

The next season will be easier.

Not because of strength, but because of the circle.

There are only 30 teams in the entire NBA league, and the Lakers are still one of them, with only 29 opponents.

It's been 25 games now, basically rounding, and it's almost a round of wine... no, it's the ball.

In the subsequent games, there will be more battles, which will be the second battle. The only strong team that has not been touched is the Heat.

Therefore, instead of focusing on playing every regular season game, the Lakers will focus more on solving the problems that arise at this stage.

For example, bully the weak and fear the strong.

For example, there is the problem of not being able to protect the rim and rebounding.

Another example is that the head coach is incompetent...

True Hong Kong spent [-] million in salary to form the luxurious Purple and Gold Lakers. Their goal has never been to be the top player in the regular season, but in the playoffs and regular season, both of which must go to the end.

When reinforcements cannot be used to solve the problem of inside defense, the only way to find more talents in the team is through digging within the team.

With Jordan Xiguang's talent problem, unable to protect the rim and rebound, and maintain a good basketball, the fringe man Hassan Whiteside will get more opportunities to perform.

As a second-round pick in 2010, Whitesett has been waiting for almost three years.

Put all your energy into protecting the basket, grabbing rebounds, defending, playing like Rodman, and doing your best to play the 15-minute requirement. It should be easy to do it and do it well.

On December 12, the Lakers began to enter the rhythm of the schedule where the main opponents are all rematch.

Energy Solutions Arena.

Night falls.

At this time, the Jazz's home court ushered in a second battle with the Lakers.

In this battle, Gasol did not come to fight with the team due to injuries. Artest was on top of the starting lineup. Anyway, the Jazz's inside lineup played Millsap and Al Jefferson. The inside line shouldn't lose too much.

Moreover, the Lakers outsiders Paul, Kobe and Su Bei have three luxury packages. Against the Jazz's three advanced role players, Randy Foye and Marvin Williams, the advantage should not be too obvious.

However, the Lakers have tried their best to overestimate the role of home court advantage in improving the Jazz's combat effectiveness, but they still underestimated it.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Randy Foye played very strongly in front of Kobe Bryant. He immediately used a pick-and-roll tactic to block Kobe's defense. Then, he faced Jordan Hill in a mismatch and hit a precise mid-range shot with a stop, which set up the Jazz for the Jazz. The team takes the lead.

Swish-!
“Good shot, the Jazz are very motivated!
The Lakers actually kept Gasol in Los Angeles. This is likely to be a wrong choice!

The Jazz play at home and away from home. They are two-level teams.

Put it this way!

This season, the Jazz have played 23 games, with 12 wins and 11 losses. They have only lost one game at home, and the loss was to the Heat.

However, we have won a lot on the away road, that is, in three games, we defeated the Dragons, Hornets and Wizards. These three teams will probably lie down first without fighting...

Well, it doesn’t matter how they play away from home, what matters is that the Jazz team playing at home is an elite team, a one-stop team..."

"Next, let's see how the Lakers' offense looks like without Gasol.
What the hell?

He came up and flanked Kobe, and then passed the ball to Jordan Hill, but the basketball was intercepted by Millsap. The Jazz counterattacked, and Mo Williams rushed to the frontcourt.Sure enough, he didn't pass the ball, chose to go to the paint area, and tested the Lakers' defense with a pull-up fadeaway jumper without rebound protection..."

Swish-!
While Paul was listening to the gunfire, he was chopped down from his horse.

This kind of giant planet is unreasonable, and it is not easy to defend. You can only see if there are bullets in the attacker's pistol?
With bullets, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

0 to 4! !
The game had just started, and the Jazz's devilish home court was already on fire.

Amidst the uniform shouts of "Defense! Defense! Defense!!" from the fans in the audience, Su Bei's three-point shot was lost, and he shot against Marvin Williams' block. As a result, with a clang, the rebound flew out of the basket. .

“Very nice defense!
The Jazz are very savvy, and they know that with two short inside men, it is a difficult problem for them to protect the penalty area and the basket, but they don't know how to do it!

Decisively choose to shrink the crowd in the penalty area, and then compete with the Lakers for shooting..."

This is not the Lakers' own basket. It is not easy for Su Bei to deal with altitude sickness. It is very common to shoot without microwaves.

The reason why the Devil's home court is the Devil's home court is because it is too far from the underworld and is not a regular basketball venue.

For a small city team like the Jazz, who still plays on regular courts?

In addition to the irregularity of the offensive and defensive transition, the Jazz's tactical play is also irregular.

There was no direct confrontation, but after the pick-and-roll, he took advantage of the wrong forward.

Swish-!
"pretty!!

Millsap resisted Paul's block and also hit a precise half-stop jump shot.

The Jazz team feels very hot tonight..."

0 to 6! !
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers were defeated by the Jazz, who took the lead, and played a small climax, taking full advantage of their home court advantage.

They didn't have to adapt to the altitude sickness at home. They worked hard and targeted from the beginning. When the state came, the Lakers really couldn't withstand it.

Fortunately, the difference is only 6 points, calculated using three-pointers, which is the difference between two goals.

Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, and when he saw the pass to Williams, his position shrank a little bit, making it clear that he didn't regard his three-pointer as alive.

"Hey, Paul is not used to Xiao Mo, so he tries to shoot a three-pointer with a raised hand..."

"Here you go!" Mo Williams didn't even jump, he just stretched out his hand. If Paul could kill the game with a three-pointer, he would have no choice but to admit it.In other words, the Jazz are not as strong as the Lakers. If they want to defeat their opponents, they can only rely on their home court advantage and then take the wrong approach.

It seems that the Lakers have taken the initiative, but with the help of "altitude sickness", the Lakers will only suffer a hidden loss.

Bang-dang-!
“Paul’s three-pointer was also sent.

The Jazz have made it clear that they are not afraid of the Lakers using shots to kill the game. This is the horror of the Devils' home court..."

Adapting here can improve combat effectiveness while weakening the opponent's combat effectiveness, and then pulling the opponent into the rhythm that one is good at. Isn't this the formula for defeating the enemy?

After Paul died after trying a three-pointer, the Jazz failed to counterattack.

However, since they are fighting with the Lakers to shoot, the Jazz are also very daring to shoot.

"Mirzapur came out, blocked Kobe, Randy Foye stayed away from Kobe's defense, and then also shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Jordan Hill is not used to this kind of defense. He prefers to stay in the paint area and use his physical talent to defend his opponents. The defensive range is impossible and it is absolutely impossible to extend beyond the three-point line. He can only listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang-!
“It also missed, the Lakers dodged a bullet!
If Verdilanye hits the ball, the Lakers will suffer a 9-0 attack wave at the beginning..."

Off the court, Mike Brown's face was very solemn, and the rhythm of the game completely fell to the Jazz's side.

Moreover, the Lakers players on the court seem to be in bad shape.

Bang-dang-!
"Kobe hit Randy Foye with his back, the opportunity came out, but in the final link, he failed to send the damn basketball into the basket..."

The Lakers got off to a slow start.

On the contrary, the Jazz used either famous tactics or military training tactics on offense. This was very fatal to the Lakers, who originally had a decent defense.

Swish-!
"pretty!!!
Millsap hit Paul again and hit a mid-range shot.

The score was 8 to 0, and the rhythm of the game completely fell into the Jazz. In the shooting battle, the Jazz quickly entered the state, but the Lakers were still struggling with altitude sickness. When the Lakers adapted to altitude sickness, the Jazz had already firmly established Firmly taking the initiative in the game..."

The scariest thing is that the further back the game goes, the more obvious the Jazz's home court advantage becomes.

If the Jazz drag a strong team into a tense battle, the so-called strength of the Lakers will no longer exist, but will become a [-]-[-] situation.

This is the winning vision the Jazz want to see.

Kobe was very tough. After receiving the pass from Paul, after the triple threat, he immediately jumped up and shot a three-point jumper...

"Kobe actually tested the Jazz's defense with a three-point shot. This was an automatic situation set up by the Jazz!

Can Kobe break the game with a three-pointer..."

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Kobe steadily hit a three-point shot that he was not good at, opening the scoring account for the Lakers first, and then immediately retreated back.

At this time, the Lakers were behind and needed to defend and fight back.

On the court, the Jazz attacked.

The rhythm of the game was consistent with their tactical intentions from the beginning.

Mo Bu passed the ball to the frontcourt without panicking and immediately called for a tactic.

“It’s Millsap again, he mentioned the high post and wanted to play a pick-and-roll with Mo Williams.

Hey, Kobe rushed over immediately, and Paul carried out a double attack on Mo Williams.

Kobe finally fell from the All-Defensive First Team to the Second Team last season, but Paul was promoted from the Second Team to the All-Defensive First Team. The defensive double attack between these two people is fatal.

Pretty!

Kobe broke the basketball from Mo Williams and immediately rushed to fight back..."

After all, the Jazz were short inside and retreated quickly, preventing the Lakers from counterattacking and running and gunning. However, it didn't matter, anyway, the Jazz liked to retreat to the penalty area and act like a tortoise.

The Lakers just need to focus on their shooting.

"Paul regained control of the ball and took it to the frontcourt. Su Bei did not sink to the bottom corner, but pulled it out and played an outside screen tactic with Paul.

Su Bei caught the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

If it's a three-point shot from Paul, Kobe, Artest, etc., the Jazz can really pat their chests and not regard their three-pointers as alive.

Su Bei's three-point shooting is an exception and must be strictly monitored.

It's a pity that Su Bei is not stupid and can only stand on the court without making any moves.

The Jazz can use pick-and-roll tactics, but the Lakers can't copy the work?
Although Mo Williams has been very active in switching defenses to save, he is 1 meters tall. No matter how hard he tries, it is useless. His length is not enough, and no matter how positive his attitude is, is he still making people salivate?
In the end, I can only prevent loneliness.

Swish-!
"Still!!

Subei’s three-pointer is here!
Starting from Kobe's three-pointer, the Lakers started raining three-pointers, instantly turning the Jazz's 8-point lead into 2 points..."

The Jazz's operations were as fierce as a tiger's, and when they looked at the score, they saw a total of two hundred.

Basketball is not about calculation, standing on the court depends on your true ability.

If the Jazz dare to let the Lakers shoot three-pointers from the outside, they must be prepared to be blasted into pieces.

6 to 8! !
Sure enough, there is a reason why three-pointers can become the mainstream of basketball in the future.

Saving two points for two points is really not as efficient as scoring two three-pointers!

Basketball is not about calculation, but it requires calculation!
