Do you think it's possible that Jackson's formation was based on a 'long-term plan'?
Otherwise, as long as there are a few peanuts, he will not be so drunk that he will be included in the full rotation lineup of Turiaf, Radmanovic, Ariza, Vujacic and Farmar in the second quarter. !
Without a main player to lead the way, can the Lakers' rotation be successful?
No matter how you look at it, it's a crappy lineup.
In contrast, Mike Brown's rotation is very competitive.
Although James is resting, the Cavaliers' strength level has dropped by more than 100 million points. However, with Larry Hughes and Big Z leading the team, both inside and outside, the basic strength of the team will not drop much.
Gibson, Varejao and Devin Brown play in rotation, and their strength is still very impressive. In terms of salary comparison, the Cavaliers' lineup is not the same as the Lakers' rotation.
You know, Larry Hughes and Big Z are both players with an annual salary of tens of millions. Logically speaking, if they play as substitutes, that is the existence of dimensionality reduction attack.
However, basketball is not about counting, and a high annual salary does not mean that there is hard power. After all, three years in Hedong and three in Hexi, and one season behind in the NBA, the change in strength will be very different.
Are you polite?
Just use the ID number to read it. It is said that the player's strength and annual salary are not equal. Players with good strength refer to Larry Hughes and Big Z.
You said they and James form the Big Three?
I'm embarrassed to point it out to you. With this level of strength, I really don't have the strength of a giant.
Bang-dang——!
The second quarter of the game started. Big Z tried to take a mid-range shot. He knew it was missing as soon as he took the shot. His attempt turned into death.
Later, Larry Hughes's breakthrough hit the basket, and he shot a two-pointer from close range. With a clang, he also missed.
Larry Hughes's playing style is that of James on the trumpet. It's just a pity that the trumpet does not have a superstar whistle. This style of play is nothing but low offensive efficiency.
As the knife-carrying guard next to James, Gibson's three-point shooting touch is not enough, and his three-point shots are also missed.
Relying on the Cavaliers' poor offensive performance, Jackson, the cheater, got through.
There is nothing wrong with the lineup he has arranged for the first round. Even though Ariza, Radmanovic and Vujacic's offensive shots are all inferior, the more superior they are, the more glorious they are!
The leader, Kobe Bryant, was also solid in the first quarter. The key was not whether his shooting was solid or not, but more than five minutes had passed in the second quarter, and the Lakers and Cavaliers were still evenly matched.
34 to 33!
Jackson also earned 1 point. In the rookie game, the Lakers scored four or five points. There were still many categories in the lead, which was less than 10 points.
Kobe and James came back one after another.
Immediately the Lakers players became bold, and Farmar hit a three-pointer.
James took the initiative and continuously attacked the basket, scored 4 points, and broke through the ball to assist guard Gibson to hit an open mid-range shot.
"Sure enough, the rumored saying that LeBron's offense relies on bread and defense depends on bread is not just a random statement.
James is the soul of the Cavaliers. He just came on the court and immediately made the Cavaliers' offense come alive.
There is a rumor in the market that Kobe is trashing his teammates, but that doesn’t seem to be the case!
With Kobe on the court to suppress the pressure, the Lakers' offensive opportunities and teammates have obviously increased. When the opportunity comes, if you don't use it, it only means that you are a CBA teammate, but it does not mean that Kobe is really a useless teammate!
However, Kobe’s shooting is not blind, and with James watching and guarding him, Kobe’s shots are hitting the iron again..."
You said there is no possibility. James' defense is super strong. It's not that Kobe shoots iron, but that the opponent's defense is too strong.
Impossible, absolutely impossible. Kobe's offense, turning around from behind, already created an opportunity, but the last kick missed.
Whose does this belong to?
All right!
They are still good friends even if they don't point it out. Kobe's state is not as good as that of James, a reckless person. One is about technique and the other is about body. It's just about stability. The body still has the advantage.
After all, James' body has no solution.
Kobe's skills are also incomprehensible, and when he is scoring, he is sometimes so tough that he has no friends.
Jackson could only replace the main players with a wave of his hand.
"The game lasted 7 minutes in the second quarter. James came on the court, shot from inside and outside, and scored 6 points and 1 assist. He led the Cavaliers to an 8-4 shock wave against the Lakers. The Cavaliers scored 3 points. of the lead.
Now that the Lakers have the ball, Fisher controls the ball to the frontcourt. Kobe is too tough and does not pass the ball. Instead, he hands the basketball to Su Bei, who has just come on the court.
The Lakers' triangle offensive tactics started to work. After Fisher passed the ball, he and Su Bei played an outside cut.
Fisher used Su Bei's cover to get rid of Gibson and took the ball to the bottom corner of the right triangle. Pavlovich could only switch to defend Fisher.
At this moment, Odom pulled out from the low post and received Fisher's pass, and Varaijo could only defend it.
The Lakers' triangle offense continues to change. Countless triangle combination offenses come and go. The Cavaliers' defense can only deal with them passively.
Su Bei and Fisher both formed a staggered position. From the left and right sides, with Odom as the axis, they both cut to the basket at the same time as if they had said hello...
Odom can turn over cards or eat himself. He chose to hand the basketball to Su Bei..."
Swish——!
Cutting, catching the ball, overcoming Gibson's defense, jumping into the air and making a lob... In just a moment, he easily penetrated the Cavaliers' defense.
The Lakers' use of the triangle offensive system to score points is just the beginning.
Come again.
In the next round of the Lakers' offensive round, Fisher passed to Su Bei and continued to play outside tactics.
"It was Odom who came out to support again, and Fisher and Su Bei made air cuts.
Gibson and Pavlovich could only fight and retreat under misplaced defense, closely following the players they were switching to defend.
It’s useless. The Lakers’ triangle offensive combination has changed too much. No matter how good the defense is, it can only guard against a lonely..."
Odom didn't get the rain and dew equally, so he still chose to play Jiangsu Bei's card.
Su Bei cut into the paint, showed off his B+ level cutting skills, made a counterattack, ran back and exited the three-point line, received a pass from Odom, lifted the ball, jumped up, and raised his hand for a three-pointer. Jump shot...
Gibson is 1.88 meters tall and is misplaced to defend Su Bei's 1.99 meters. Faced with this situation, he can only actively defend and show off, and then bet that there are no bullets in Su Bei's three-point pistol!
Swish——!
Gibson guessed wrong and had no choice but to accept his fate.
Because Su Bei's three-point shooting is outstanding.
What do you want to bring?
The exquisite series of attacks of the Lakers' offensive tactics cannot be matched by individual talents and skills alone.
After all, when the tactic is executed, Giblin's defensive actions have been predicted, and the only thing left is to send the basketball into the basket.
When an opportunity comes, as long as you are successful, defense will be a difficult problem. How do you break it?
With Su Bei's three-point firepower contained, the Cavaliers' "four guarantees and one tactic" is still missing a corner after all.
"Kobe's opportunity, he broke through, and Big Z couldn't withstand the rim protection, so he could only send Kobe to the free throw line to take a free throw..."
Swish——!
Swish——!
With no choice, Kobe went to the penalty area and to the free throw line, which was also a question of points.
The Cavaliers' defense relies on 'bread', which may not be reliable!
Not a possibility, but a certainty.
Kobe's three-pointers are not stable, and there is no Subei three-pointer to fill the gap.
Kobe's free throws and mid-range shots, coupled with the operation of the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics, as well as Su Bei's solid three-pointers, the Lakers' three-dimensional offensive direction, toasted the Cavaliers' bread until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and then devoured it in one bite , no teeth fell out.
The Cavaliers only have "offensive James" left. Since they don't understand defense, then don't even think about the Lakers' defense.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"James rushed up with the ball, like a reckless man, used the crab step to reach the penalty area. Faced with the siege of three people, no, four people, James did not back down. He chose to face the man instead of Throw the blame..."
Bang-dang——!
James's recklessness failed to score.
The Lakers copied what the Cavaliers did. Defensively, they piled people into the penalty area, and then used the mobility of the forwards and defenders to encircle and suppress the two-point line, forcing the Cavaliers to shoot away from the basket.
At this moment, the Cavaliers' three-pointers and mid-range shots are being tested.
You know, the Cavaliers' most stable three-pointer is Donyel Marshall. This person and Kobe hold the record for the most three-pointers in a single game. This record will be broken by Curry in the future.
Now it's Marshall and Kobe's world.
You ask, can't Kobe's three-pointer release the snake?
Dude, who hasn’t eaten dumplings during the Chinese New Year? If a superstar of Kobe’s level wants to eat his sister-in-law... no, if he wants to eat dumplings, he must eat more than 10 at a time.
That's too far.
In fact, it's not far, which means Marshall's three-point shooting is very good.
However, in order to save money, Marshall has been sent away.
The Cavaliers' salary is exploding. Now they no longer care whether your three-point shooting is strong or weak. What matters is whether it has trade value.
There is no Marshall, the butcher, and Gibson, the demon sword.
The reason why it is said to be a demon sword is entirely because this person has the attribute of convulsion.
When competing against Gibson for a three-pointer, Su Bei couldn't compare with him when he had a convulsion. However, when the convulsion was hard, he didn't know when he would feel it, and he couldn't sustain it for a long time.
Gibson has no choice. Larry Hughes can't even make a mid-range shot. James' mid-range shot is okay. The three-point shooting ability cannot be said to be similar to that of Kobe. It can only be said that they are exactly the same. The only thing Kobe is better than James is that Kobe is. He knows that his three-point shot is strong enough, but he still dares to shoot it. When the state comes, he will have the attribute of convulsion.
James's three-pointers are useless, but his style of play is still very stable, especially at critical moments. Kobe's three-pointers have something to offer. He dares to shoot and score, while James chooses to pass the blame. Looking at it this way, James's three-pointers are at the same level as Kobe's. , however, it is not as coquettish or as visual as Kobe.
Except for Gibson, no one on the outside can shoot, which is why Pavlovic sometimes replaces Larry Hughes in the starting lineup.
Pavgovic also had three points, but he didn't have many chances.
"The Cavaliers were finally figured out. They don't have many outside shooters and are unstable. The low center has no ability to attack. When the opponent shrinks and attacks James, the Cavaliers' offense will fail..."
At the end of the first half, the score was 55-51, and the Lakers entered the locker room to rest with a 4-point lead.
After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game returned for the second half, and the starting lineups of both sides continued to battle.
The third quarter started with the Cavaliers attacking the ball.
"James controlled the ball to the frontcourt and was closely entangled by Kobe. James used his left hand to protect the ball, turned sideways, and became reckless with his body.
Kobe's physical talent couldn't handle it. Su Bei let Larry Hughes' defense pass and pounced to flank James. James knocked past Kobe and then Su Bei's defense, facing Odom's block shot from close range. Throw the basketball into the hoop…”
Bang-dang——!
James wants Lu Bu to fight Sanying, but his impactful body style cannot defeat him at all.
Blacksmithing is just the beginning.
Bang-dang——!
It was still the pincer attack between Kobe and Su Bei. James did not continue to attack downwards and chose to stop and take a jump shot. As a result, he overestimated his mid-range shot.
Although the emergency stop jumper avoided the attack of the Lakers' double guns, if the opportunity comes up, it will be useless if you don't use it.
"James chose to blindly throw three-pointers.
The choice of this shot is a bit unreasonable, but at the same time, it is also reasonable..."
It is really better to listen to your words than to listen to them!
What does it mean to be unreasonable and yet somehow reasonable?
Is not this nonsensical?
It's really not the case. James's choice is unreasonable because his three-pointers are unreliable and shooting three-pointers is a trap.
It's true to say that he is reasonable. Anyway, James hits the basket and is unable to guarantee efficiency even when surrounded by crowds. Most of his shots are hit, and the mid-range shot is also unstable, so his shots are also hit...
Since rushing to the basket is a must and mid-range shooting is a plus, why can't we choose a three-point shot?
The reality is so hard, why can’t we have a dream of being a three-point shooter?
What if it comes true?
Anyway, no matter what choice you make, you will die. Isn’t 3 points better than 2 points?
With that said, you, James, are really a talent, and there is nothing wrong with your three-point selection.
No matter what you choose, it's all iron. If there is an opportunity to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, it is very reasonable to take action.
As James quit the all-out mode in the first half and adopted an all-out template, the Cavaliers' "offensive James" pattern was abolished.
The rest of the "defense relies on bread" pattern was dismembered under the impact of the triangle offensive tactics that had been waiting for an opportunity for three years.
"James' offense was targeted and his shooting state was not online, so he chose to break through and score the ball.
Larry Hughes' mid-range shot is a hit! "
…
"James still scored, but Gooden's low jump shot didn't come either!"
…
"James continues to pass the blame, and Gibson's three-pointer also strikes!"
…
James made 2 of 8 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in the third quarter. His statistics still looked like a superstar, but unfortunately, his efficiency was very low.
Coupled with the existence of Larry Hughes and Big Z, two Wolong and Chufeng, no matter how strong James' scoring system is, he cannot drive the Cavaliers' offense.
Kobe's state is 50-50, with 3 of 6 shots in the third quarter, 6 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds. Just looking at the data, he is really not as good as James.
However, in terms of efficiency, it is not a billion points higher than James.
Kobe's normal performance, coupled with the Cavaliers' unstoppable triangle offensive tactics, allowed the Lakers to flourish. In the third quarter, they beat the Cavaliers with a score of 31 to 22. It didn't look like much, but it was 4+ 8=12 points.
The Lakers' lead expanded to double digits, and there was not much time left for the Cavaliers.
In the fourth quarter of the game, James's state was very stable. As a liaison between brothers playing basketball, he must be very nice to talk and truly a talent. His performance in the third quarter cannot be said to be similar, but it can only be said to be exactly the same. He also made 2 of 8 shots, a little less free throws, 2 of 2, and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists. The Cavaliers also scored 22 points in the fourth quarter.
The Lakers also give them a chance.
Kobe was 1 of 6, Fisher was 1 of 4, Bynum was 1 of 3, Su Bei was 1 of 2, Odom was 1 of 2, and Walton was 1 of 3. There were no free throws, and they were all 2 points.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers' offense suddenly stalled, and the Cavaliers' "defense relies on bread" threat appeared, but unfortunately, it appeared too late.
Although the Lakers relied on 6 players to contribute 2 points each in the fourth quarter and only scored 12 points in the half, the Lakers still had the last laugh.
Buzz—!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 98 to 96. The Lakers narrowly defeated the Cavaliers by 2 points, extending their winning streak to 12 games.
Kobe made 8 of 21 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and 5 of 8 free throws. He scored 21 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds. He was the league's top shooting guard. That's it? The performance was too hip.
Odom performed strongly and bullied the Cavaliers' inside, making 9 of 12 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Su Bei made 6 of 11 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. His performance was just okay. The Big Three of the Lakers must be the Big Three, but they averaged less than 20 points per game. Points, this scene is definitely not hard, soft, fake...
James made 12 of 29 shots and 0 of 3 three-pointers. Like Kobe, he made 9 of 11 free throws and scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. No. 23 performed well and beat No. 24 in personal performance.
Big Z made 4 of 8 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, and performed well.
Larry Hughes' defense in Jiangsu Province had many openings. He still made 3 of 11 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. He only scored 8 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.
James, Big Z and Larry Hughes are the same Big Three as Kobe, Su Bei, and Odom. The performance of the brothers' team is far inferior to that of the Big Three of the Lakers. The Cavaliers only lost by 2 points, and the loss was not the same. Not unfair, just a little depressed.
When it comes to basketball, brothers are the best brothers to keep in touch with each other. Otherwise, they will be stabbed in the back every minute.
James understands this deeply. He wanted to be a good person before, but he had no choice!
