"plum!"

"Say it."

"I will not let go of this opportunity to defeat you in the end."

After Kobe said that, the referee threw the ball into the air.

Jordan made a leap and grabbed the ball from Bynum.

The last Los Angeles Derby of this regular season has officially begun!

In the first attack, Li Ang tested the intensity of the Lakers' attack.

You don't know until you try, but you will find out after you try that the Lakers' team is really tight. As soon as Li Ang approached the three-point line, Paul and Ariza immediately came up to double attack Li Ang.

Because in the Western Conference Finals the year before last, Li Ang defeated the Lakers with his mid-to-long-range pull-ups, and played a game that was hailed by the media as the strongest game of his career.

So now the Zen master doesn't even want to give Li Ang a one-on-one opportunity. As soon as Li Ang gets close to the three-point line, he is directly flanked.

Don't think this is an exaggeration. The defense Li Ang faced was actually similar to the defense Curry faced at his peak in the future. In Curry's strongest seasons, many teams actually started to flank Curry as soon as he crossed the midfield line.

of.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s reasonable or not, let’s first force Li Ang to pass the ball.

When Li Ang saw Paul approaching from a double attack, he did not stay outside the three-point line, but instead held the ball and charged forward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he broke through, Garnett also waved his arms to double-team him.

The three of them contracted to defend Li Ang. In the regular season, this can be said to be the highest level of defensive treatment.

The old Zen Master's tactics were vicious enough, and the Lakers' execution was firm enough.

In the flanking attack, Paul prepared to steal the ball while Li Ang was not paying attention.

But when facing the basket, Li Ang threw the ball behind his head and passed it to Ray Allen, who was let go by Paul.

Seeing Li Ang choose to pass the ball, the Zen master smiled, this time the defense was successful!

It's not that Jackson thinks less of Ray Allen, but Ray's state this season is really average.

He may occasionally hit open three-pointers, but if you want to rely on Ray Allen's three-pointers to kill the game, you are expecting to rely on Kidd's scoring to save the Mavericks.

Paul didn't completely let Ray Allen go, he still pounced to seal it.

But Ray Allen's shooting was very steady, the basketball hit the net, and the Clippers succeeded on the first attack!

Although he was scored by Ray Allen, the old Zen master was not worried.

The Lakers can afford to let Junzi Lei score one or two occasionally.

In a basketball game, it's impossible for a star to score a single point. Even though Ben didn't know how to attack back then, he was still a top-notch center who could score a point in two consecutive games.

Duncan: Haha, it’s impossible not to score a point? That’s because you haven’t worked with Kidd before.

Zen Master's trust in the stars is the reason why he can succeed. Therefore, he firmly believes in the theory that the stars are the basis for winning.

The vast majority of NBA head coaches, led by veteran thief Vicki, pursue tactics through various complex tactics to create an opportunity for ordinary players to open up and shoot.

But Zen Master is different. From the triangle tactics of the Jordan era to the triangle tactics of the OK Combination era, what Zen Master pursues is to give his own star players a chance to play one-on-one in their own advantageous positions.

Do you believe in the open shooting percentage of ordinary players on your team, or do you believe in the one-on-one success rate of your team's superstars under defense?

The Zen master chose the latter and achieved great success.

Although the Zen Master in this history did not establish two dynasties and two consecutive championships like in the original history, his experience of winning three championships since the 21st century is bright enough to prove that his theory is indeed correct.

Sometimes, a star's one-on-one shot is more accurate than a role player's open shot!

And this system is actually more suitable for tough battles. Because when it comes to the championship, there won't be a few vacancies in the whole game. Without a superstar to solve it, you can only wait to die.

Zen Master's philosophy is destined to indulge the rest of the Clippers team and defend Li Ang with all his strength.

The time he was beaten to death by Li Ang in the playoffs the year before last, it can only be said that Jackson underestimated Li Ang's quality as a superstar, so he insisted on letting Ariza and Li Ang one-on-one. After that lesson, the series

In the next few games of the game, didn't the Lakers also launch a crazy double-team on Li Ang?

Therefore, as long as Li Ang can be forced to pass the ball, Master Zen believes that the defense is successful.

The Clippers led by 3 points, but the Lakers responded quickly.

This season, Kobe has completely freed his hands and can attack without the ball with peace of mind.

He no longer needs to hold the ball and compete head-on with Li Ang. Paul's passing and controlling ability is better than Billups's.

Li Ang first set an off-ball screen for Paul near the free throw line. During this period, Li Ang kept staring at Kobe, but the moment Paul bypassed the screen, Kobe ran back twice in a row, moving away by about half his body.

The distance gives yourself space to catch the ball.

Kobe immediately raised his hand for the ball after getting rid of Li Ang, and Paul's pass was delivered very timely. After receiving the basketball, Li Ang naturally made up for it immediately. But Kobe did not shoot immediately, but took an extra step.

, finally drifted back and scored the ball!

The whole process was very smooth, and Kobe played efficiently and effortlessly.

Off-ball offense does not simply refer to the ability to catch and shoot.

A truly terrifying off-the-ball offensive master, either like Thompson or Curry, can shoot immediately after receiving the ball from any position, and he can really score when he shoots.

Or like Jordan and Kobe, after receiving the ball at any point, he can move in all directions whether it is forward, backward, left, or right and continue to maintain an offensive threat!

One is the top interpretation of shooting skills, and the other is the top interpretation of offensive versatility.

After Kobe scored, he did not celebrate or talk trash, but immediately retreated with a serious expression.

It can be seen that he really cherished the last few opportunities to play against Li Ang and played very seriously.

He didn't want to leave any regrets.

Li Ang also gritted his teeth. After completely releasing the ball, Kobe was undoubtedly more difficult to defend. Defending offensive players with the ball is actually easier to judge the opponent's intentions. But when defending players without the ball, the opponent happens to have a cake feeder, so

It's like picking up fat in the men's bathroom. If you can't pick it up, you'll still get stabbed.

Then the Clippers attacked, and Li Ang was flanked as usual, and he was flanked as soon as the half was over.

Li Ang was also forced to pass the ball again. This time, his passing target was Duncan, who was released by Garnett.

The moment Li Ang passed the ball, Garnett also ran back and raised his arms to interfere with Duncan. Kobe and Li Ang are old rivals, and Duncan and Hardy are also old rivals.

Garnett also doesn't want to lose to an idiot.

The idiot's shot was a little slow and was interfered by Garnett.

But before Garnett had time to celebrate, Duncan passed by Garnett instantly after taking the shot, jumped up and tapped the pop-up basketball, and then re-clicked the ball that bounced out of the frame.

When the wave comes, you will replenish yourself!

Garnett was a little surprised. He felt that Lao Dengtou seemed to be a lot more flexible. He could actually run to the basket so quickly and jump up to complete the tip-in. No, this must be an illusion. There are people who get more flexible as they get older.

However, this is not an illusion.

Since Duncan started losing weight, he feels that he has become much more relaxed, and his running and jumping are indeed more flexible than before.

Although it is not said that he has returned to the top, although he is still bouncing like tofu, at least he is not sluggish anymore.

In addition, Duncan has excellent awareness and accurately judges the placement of the rebound, so he can complete the tip-in even if he cannot jump high.

That is to say, Lao Dengtou's body has declined. If he is at his peak, Lao Dengtou will definitely be able to end the offense with a make-up dunk.

How could Bynum, who relies solely on his jumping and height and wingspan to grab boards, stop Duncan.

5 to 2, the Clippers' role players are still scoring goals.

However, Master Zen still didn't say anything and still let the team proceed as planned.

Duncan and Ray Allen always fail to score!

Therefore, throughout the first quarter, the Lakers' strategy was to let others use their full strength to contain Li Ang.

The Lakers' strategy was successful, because after the first quarter, Li Ang only scored 6 points! Moreover, 2 of the points came from free throws.

In other words, Li Ang only scored two sports goals in the first quarter.

But from a certain perspective, the Lakers' strategy also failed. Because after the first quarter, the Lakers were still 1 point behind the Clippers!

Junzi Lei and Duncan got too many scoring opportunities, and they both took advantage of them.

Zen Master was also very annoyed. He really didn't expect that Junzi Lei and Duncan could actually share Li Ang's scoring pressure today.

The Zen master thought for a while and decided to proceed as planned.

It is normal for role players to occasionally play well in a game.

In the second quarter, they couldn't be that efficient in the second quarter!

Role players can never threaten the Lakers!

However, after the second quarter started, it was no longer a question of whether Ray Allen and Duncan were efficient or not.

The two of them even wanted to take over the game instead of Li Ang!

In the second quarter, the Lakers' attack on Li Ang was still tight, and Ray Allen and Duncan also continued to score. Moreover, they were no longer limited to easy scoring in the open.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the third minute of the second quarter, Paul slipped the baseline and made a fake pass. He was preparing to pass the ball to Ariza in the air, but Ray Allen intercepted it with quick eyes and hands.
