Super Small Forward

The battle between the Lakers and the Rockets is very fierce. It seems that the Rockets have better firepower. From the beginning, they have maintained a weak lead and gradually expanded their advantages. By the time of the third half of the third quarter, the Rockets had led the Lakers 82 to 70. 12 points.

"They are really not good at team defense, McHale also knows this very well, but he really came up with such a trick." Bickerstaff laughed.

"Yeah, Howard still thinks that he is the one he was four years ago. He is unwilling to cooperate with his teammates. On the defensive end, he can't get back to the level that he used to hold the other two by one inside. But McHale still has. First-hand, this method is really good." D'Antoni responded.

"I see that we don’t have many three-pointers, so the five players sent are moving very fast, including the center, put our outside line into the inside shot, Howard interfered with the inside, giving Kobe a mid-range singles opportunity, consuming Kobe, After Kobe gets tired, he will shrink the double-team inside. If our outside feels cold, they will be able to win the victory completely. What's more, they are so accurate today." Bickerstaff accurately analyzed the Rockets. Tactical strategy.

As Bickerstaff said, the Rockets have begun to tentatively shrink inward.

The tactical Rockets have been training since the beginning of the training camp. The offensive end is based on three points. If you can't make a three-pointer, Harden will be touched. It is impossible for the team to throw a pass outside the three-point line.

On the defensive end, just like Bickerstaff’s analysis, put the inside line first. Howard can just click. Howard has just won, then you can easily win. Howard just won, it depends on whether his outside feels good or not. Leading, after all, three points are one point more than two points. If the hand feels bad, there is a chance to win by shrinking at the end.

After playing this tactic for a while this season, the fans nicknamed the "blind-a-hand-play" tactic.

"I have to say that McHale's tactics are good this time. With a lineup configuration like the Rockets, it is quite easy to enter the playoffs with this style of play. No, we have been behind today. Kobe and Nash are here to rest. It's time, what should I do next? Mike." Bickerstaff laughed.

D'Antoni did not answer, but called for a timeout.

Nash played full in the first quarter, and played for more than 6 minutes in the third quarter. It was time to rest. Kobe played too many singles today. Although Beverly is short, he has enough strength and likes to look for confrontation very much. A lot of physical contact, Kobe didn't score 29 points in three quarters, but at the same time he began to breathe hard.

Gasol is like a real veteran, pick-and-roll, and shoot when there is an open spot, but it's time to rest.

D'Antoni's lineup is Jeremy Lin, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside.

"Liu, next you will replace Kobe to score mid-to-long distances. They will definitely shrink the inside line and probably defend one three-pointer, but the mid-range will definitely not be defended! Everyone except Liu will play tactically. , Jeremy, you can run to the basket at any time to force the opponent to shrink..." D'Antoni finished the offensive strategy and began to lay out the defense: "During defense, Jeremy, Nick, Liu, and Drummond defended by three points and crossed inside. To Hassan!"

The Rockets' lineup is Beverley, Harden, Brewer, Ariza, Howard.

Obviously the Rockets' lineup is to quickly shrink the team!

One of the easiest defensive methods in the NBA, but the most difficult to use, is to give back to the other. When a team builds its own defensive system, it will not deliberately study how to deal with its own defense.

Because the defensive system is mainly used to guard against most non-superstar players, the real superstars cannot be guarded, and the defensive system always has loopholes, just like today Kobe takes what he wants in the middle distance and captures the weakest defense of the Rockets. The ring banged wildly.

If Kobe is in his twenties, he would definitely seize this opportunity to get six to seventy points today.

D'Antoni's idea is very simple. Since the opponent's defensive strategy is surprisingly effective, then use the opponent's defensive strategy to deal with the opponent. It happens that the opponent's strongest is the three-pointer, and the defense is also the three-pointer of the main defense.

If the opponent finds a way to deal with their own defense, it also helps the Lakers solve the problem that the opponent's defense is difficult to solve.

In addition, the Lakers' current lineup is really deep and there are many versatile players. It is basically impossible for other teams to imitate the opponent's defensive methods!

D'Antoni did this once last season, and it's here again this year!

Back from the timeout, the three quarters have not yet finished, the Rockets have hit 20 three-pointers, apparently rushing to break the record of a single team three-pointers!

After Liu Ren took the field, he tried a three-pointer, but he missed it due to interference from Ariza.

Now this lineup is much faster than Thackeray and McCollum led by the three old men. The moment Liu Ren took the shot, the four outsiders immediately turned back to defense.

As in the first quarter, Howard and Whiteside were half-hearted in rebounding, and it was difficult for both of them to grab the rebounds protected by each other.

The Lakers returned to defense quickly, and the Rockets did not fight back.

In positional warfare, the Rockets are ready to pass the ball continuously as before, to see who feels good in the hand, or whoever doesn't have a good defense in front of them.

What makes the Rockets feel very uncomfortable is that the four short men of the Lakers all rushed out of the three-point line and tightly defended. The Lakers' previous defense was a rotation defense, preventing shots and breakthroughs at the same time, so the Rockets Quite a few mobile phone meetings.

The Lakers are now sticking to the offensive players of the Rockets just outside the three-point line like the gooey dogs.

After a few passes, the three role players of Beverly, Ariza and Brewer did not have a good mobile meeting. It was time for Harden to play singles.

What surprised Harden was that it was not Liu Ren who defended him, but Nick Young! Nick Young is very tight. Although Nick Young has poor defensive skills, his defensive attitude is very good. In addition, Nick Young is tall enough and not bad in physical fitness. Harden wants to continue to shoot three-pointers.

So Harden’s choice is to break through inside!

It went smoothly and easily Harden broke through to the basket. It was even smoother than he expected. He at least thought someone would come to defend.

The team under the control of Morey's data naturally has as few CIC as possible. According to data analysis, CIC has the lowest hit rate and scoring efficiency in all scoring areas.

But Harden was dumbfounded when he entered the basket. The huge body of the big man in front of him completely blocked him and Howard. He couldn't see where Howard was at all!

Shot? Come on, Harden is not stupid. The guy in front of him didn't jump when he saw him rush in. With such a big body and long arms, Harden was sure that he would be capped as long as he shot!

A dead fellow, not dead, poor way~www.readwn.com~ Harden sends a lob!

The ball was thrown really high! Whiteside struggled to take off and straightened his long arms without touching the ball.

Howard behind Whiteside also jumped up with the strength of eating and milking, but also did not touch it.

It happened that the direction of the fall was in the direction of Brewer who was defending by Liu Ren. Liu Ren easily accepted the missed ball, swiftly down, and chased for a three-pointer.

It was not because of the previous trial that affected confidence, this time I adjusted it and made a decisive hit.

"Hahahaha, James, are you the undercover we sent to the Rockets? You know that no one of your team can catch this ball. It was deliberately passed to the boss, right?" Nick Young laughed.
