Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 86 He's a Genius

Zhao Hao, who accidentally heard his name, raised his head dumbly. What's going on? Why do you still praise me? Is it possible that I, Zhao Ritian, are so famous that I have fans in Salt Lake City?

"They're not complimenting you." Kobe at the side knew that Zhao Hao, a young man, would misunderstand this sentence, so he explained.

"Everyone says I'm a saint, isn't that a compliment? Don't you Americans believe in saints the most?" Zhao Hao said a little puzzled.

Odom put his arms around Zhao Hao's shoulders and said speechlessly: "Saint Jesus has no wife, never in his life, so this is scolding you for not getting married."

I planted you with a big stick, your Jazz team didn't raise it, and your whole family of Salt Lake City fans didn't raise it.

Disgusted, Zhao Hao wished he could raise his gun and shoot at the fans, to prove that he was never weak.

Kobe saw the anger in Zhao Hao's eyes, and said happily: "Of course, things on the court must be resolved on the court, but Jazz fans are not easy to conquer, so you have to be mentally prepared."

After hearing Kobe's words, Zhao Hao naturally ignited raging anger in his heart, and made up his mind to show his might in the next game.

After the start of the game, the Jazz players took the lead and directly played a shrinking defense, 23 zone defense.

In this era, if you say that any team does not know how to defend 23 zones, and does not regard 23 zone defense as one of the team's main tactics, Zhao Hao will not believe it even if he is beaten to death.

Of course, except for the Suns' bombardment army.

Whether it is past life or present life, the best way to break the 23 zone defense on the basketball court is to pass the ball, and it is a very patient pass.

Whether it is from the inside to the outside, or directly from the outside to attack, the final result of cracking the 23 zone defense is to throw the ball from outside the three-point line.

Only in this way can the opponent be forced to transfer the high-position defenders of the 23-zone defense from the inside to the outside, and the defensive formation will naturally be broken.

The Lakers have no lack of passing masters, Odom is, Atkins, Divac and Kobe are barely considered.

So the Lakers want to create opportunities for outside shooters. This is not difficult. The rare thing is how to make three-pointers.

Zhao Hao and Kobe are currently the two players with the strongest outside shooting ability on the Lakers, so the key to cracking the 23-zone defense in the end lies in them.

Tang Shuai also understood this, so he quickly replaced Zhao Hao on the field after only 2 minutes into the first quarter.

After all, Zhao Hao's shooting range can be extended to two meters beyond the three-point line, which is of great significance to breaking the zone defense.

And the Jazz are also top players, even though Zhao Hao has shown a good three-point shooting ability in previous games.

Even after hitting the three-pointer after playing this game, they still insisted on using the 23 zone defense.

It's not that the head coach of the Jazz is so rubbish that he doesn't know the weakness of the 23-zone defense. You must know that the head coach of the Jazz during this period is the future Qiansheng coach Jerry Sloan.

He is the best pick-and-roll coach in the league that even Popovich has admitted, not one of them.

Therefore, with Jerry Sloan's ability, it is impossible to be so stupid that he only knows the 23 zone defense, but he can't come up with other effective offensive and defensive lineups and methods.

It's really that the Jazz really don't have any good players, and it is impossible to compete with the Lakers in terms of hard power.

So Coach Jerry Sloan took a risk and bet that the overall Lakers players feel bad tonight.

After all, the Jazz's home fans are notoriously lethal, which also provided effective help for Jerry Sloan to make such a tactical arrangement.

Therefore, regardless of the poor lineup of the Jazz, the Lakers really looked like they were peeled off throughout the game.

The Lakers can't get in the Jazz's inside line at all. As long as Kobe is near the free throw line, he will be double-teamed.

As for the Lakers, as long as anyone enters the colored area, it will be all kinds of upper elbows and upper bodies.

I'd rather get you a free throw for a foul than give you an easy layup.

So in the whole game, the Lakers actually won a total of 30 free throws, and Kobe alone made 18.

And such a defensive strategy is also cheaper for Zhao Hao.

After being replaced early in the game, Zhao Hao couldn't help crying with excitement. Nima has never played such a comfortable game in his life.

Not to mention outside the three-point line, even if you take two steps inside, there is no one there. The Jazz players completely treat him as air, and they won't come out at all under the tight basket.

Only when they saw that Zhao Hao was really assembling the ball and preparing to shoot, would they pounce appropriately, with the attitude of interfering if they can interfere, and running back if they can't interfere.

Zhao Hao almost burst into tears from laughter, what the hell am I a sniper from outside, how dare you defend me like this?

This taste is simply not wanted.

And this game also became the first time since the start of the preseason that Zhao Hao won Kobe's unlimited shooting rights. The entire team, including Kobe, was creating opportunities for him to shoot three-pointers.

整场比赛，赵昊上场了28分钟，三分线外16中7，罚球3罚1中，砍下了22分0篮板0助攻0抢断0盖帽的数据。

You read that right, it's not that there's something wrong with the statistician, it's that Zhao Hao is really 0 eggs except for scoring, and all his energy in the whole game is on long-range shots from beyond the three-point line.

The Lakers also relied on Zhao Hao's three-pointer and the team's pass to win the victory with difficulty.

94:88
Odom is also one of the heroes who won this game. The Lakers won a triple-double for the first time in the regular season of their career with 12 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists.

Butler also played well, with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist.

Of course, the most powerful is Kobe. After the last game, Kobe scored 30 points again. In the whole game, he scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Among them, free throws accounted for the majority of 18 free throws and 16 free throws.

On the Jazz side, apart from Boozer and AK47, there is no player who scored in double figures.

I have to say that the poor Jazz team is also sad enough. Half of the players on a team are players below the passing line like Mihm and Vujacic.

"Coach Sloan, you caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers in today's game. It's a pity that you almost won the game."

After the game, a reporter interviewed with a microphone and said.

"Yeah, it's really a pity. We restricted the Lakers' inside offense from the beginning of the whole game, but their outside line is too accurate, especially the No. 23 player." Sloan who lost the ball The coach spread his hands, still smiling and said.

Don't look at Coach Sloan smiling now, but he is actually MMP in his heart.

He has never seen a player in his life who can hit the ball in this way on the court, and still have such a high percentage of shots.

That's two meters away from the three-point line!
If it weren't for Zhao Hao's long three-point range, would the Jazz's 23 zone defense not be able to restrain the Lakers' outside offense?
Even if you don't look at Kobe's three-pointers, you are only 6 of 2.
