“With the addition of Chris Paul, the Lakers’ problem of a weak point guard position has been solved, and they have even gone from rags to riches.
The triangle offensive tactic assists the offensive triangle, which not only reduces the requirements of the own point guard, but also carries out precise attacks on the opponent's point guard, achieving a clever arrangement that maximizes strengths and avoids weaknesses.
Now the Lakers don't have to 'avoid their shortcomings', but rather 'strengthen their strengths' and have an even greater advantage.
Whether Paul cuts inside and cooperates with Gasol to attack the opponent's basket, or Paul cuts outside and cooperates with Su Bei to attack the opponent's outside line, or even Paul and Su Bei contain the outside line while Gasol attacks the mid-range. , or hitting the basket, the advantages are very obvious.
The Lakers' configuration has improved, and the core efficiency will naturally be faster and more efficient...
Next, look at the offensive performance of the Kings. Thomas took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed the ball to Evans on the left wing.
Oh, Cousins did not continue to hang in the low post, but pulled up to the high post to provide a screen for Thomas who came in without the ball.
Thomas accelerated like a sharp blade, piercing the heart of the Lakers..."
Seeing this, Evans on the left took a step back, distanced himself from Kobe, immediately jumped up, and threw the basketball into the basket. Thomas received the ball and hit the basket guarded by Gasol out of position.
So fast, so flexible!
Gasol's defense was torn apart in an instant. Thomas quickly finished the game and made a layup under the basket, easily succeeding.
Boom, swish—!
“Beautiful UCLA cutting teamwork!
The Kings are no longer obsessed with playing the gorgeous and complex Princeton offensive system, but the simple Princeton cooperation can still continue..."
5 to 6! !
Off the court, Kings coach Keith Smart nodded with satisfaction.
The star's individual ability in singles play is too deep for him to grasp, and he relies too much on his personal on-the-spot performance.
The tacit understanding of tactical coordination and the effect are very intuitive, and also reflect the head coach’s coaching ability and grasp of the team.
Nowadays, the three-point attack using a combination of inside and outside, or attacking the basket in a pick-and-roll without the ball, all offensive tactics have been developed.
If the offense continues, there will be no problem.
Next, only the defensive problem remains.
Well, with a lineup that has lost 175 days, what else does the defense need?
On the court, Paul controlled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to beat Thomas by name.
"here we go again!
Paul lobbed the ball to Gasol who was pulled up to the high post, and then the outside cutter and Su Bei made a change of position.
Thomas Jr.'s fate of 175 was sent to Su Bei.
After catching the ball and jumping up, Su Bei didn't take Thomas's defense seriously, and he just shot a pull-up three-point jumper..."
A 175-day loss, and Thomas Jr. was preparing for it. He had no choice but to defend actively and desperately to prevent others from saying bad things about him for abandoning the defense. The only thing left was to bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
8 to 6! !
Guessed wrongly, Su Bei's three-point pistol had bullets in it.
“It’s still a hit!!
Su Bei hit a three-pointer, well done, you chose it!
If the Kings choose to let Thomas play the starting role, but bring the substitutes to play the role of 6th man, they must be prepared to be called on.
The loss of 175 is just a score question. If you put it in front of the Lakers, don't blame others for being too accurate..."
The blame lies with Benzema, why should he be arranged to play?
Off the court, Keith Smart looked calm.
Just like being hit with an ace by your opponent in tennis, what you need to do is to accept it calmly, which is commonly known as lying flat.
Complaining will only make the journey of the game worse. Only with an optimistic mood can you see the rainbow after the rain.
It’s only been raining for three minutes in northern Jiangsu, so don’t panic.
There will be a rainbow after the rain!
Bang-dang——!
"Little Thomas turned around and responded with a three-pointer that missed the target.
Oops, Cousins missed Gasol, and 2.11-meter Jason Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound.
The twin-tower lineup put out by the Kings, if you include James Johnson who is 2.06 meters tall, has three heights. The advantage in rebounding is very reasonable for the Kings.
Jason Thompson took a self-shot shot and made a last-minute shot at the basket, but still missed.
OMG! !
The offensive rebound was blocked. Jason Thompson quickly jumped up and regained the missed basketball. When he saw Thomas coming in through an air cut, he immediately passed the ball.
Taking the ball and reaching the paint area, Thomas, who was 175, jumped up. He jumped too high and faced the double locks of Gasol and Jordan Hill. He also made a pole in the air, and then, he jumped The basketball was sent into the basket...
Beautiful goal! !
Thomas's offensive talent is simply overflowing. No wonder Thomas' defense is a problem, and he can still start..."
One high and one fast... no, it is a combination of three high and one fast. It seems to exist on the court. It is reasonable and can be played well.
8 to 8! !
On the sidelines, Mike Brown was very calm when he saw that his own rebound was being robbed.
The Lakers have a luxurious trio of Musketeers on the outside. If there are no flaws on the inside, they will not let their opponents survive.
On the court, the Lakers attack, Paul controls the ball to the frontcourt, then plays music, and then calls on Thomas. This is not necessary in the regular season.
Unreasonable offense is the mainstream of the regular season.
"The basketball is in Kobe's hands!
With the three-point line on the left at 75 degrees, Kobe stepped forward as a triple threat, feinted from right to left, and rushed in with the ball.
Evans slid, fought and retreated, lying in front of Kobe.
Oops, he pulled up the ball after a sudden stop. Kobe chose an unreasonable choice to force the points. He raised his hand and shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Evans is 1.98 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.11 meters. He has outstanding defensive talent and quite decent skills. He also has a very good rhythm of flying out to block shots. His defense is not bad, but it is a pity that in front of Kobe, he can only I bet Kobe's fadeaway will turn the four fade into a triathlon.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Kobe leaned back and melted one of the irons, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.
“The shot was beautiful, but it missed!!
Alas, Kobe seemed to have predicted it. After taking the shot, he quickly rushed to the basket.
pretty!
Kobe regained the basketball that he had thrown away, lifted the ball to the ground and feinted a shot, and then swung the basketball to the right. Gasol came in and caught the ball, and it was a one-handed dunk..."
Bang-dang——!
Kesao connected, and the Lakers' offense continued.
10 to 8! !
In transition, the Kings attack.
Thomas controlled the ball to the frontcourt and distributed the ball to Evans on the wing.
A three-threat player with the ball, he tried to challenge Kobe in a one-on-one role, but was unable to detect Kobe's depth. He forced a breakthrough with the ball and was pressed closely by Kobe.
“Evans’ technical characteristics have been thoroughly understood!!
Known as Little James, he didn't learn James' strong physical talent, but he did learn his unreliable shooting characteristics.
There was no shooting, breakthrough and no physical talent to crush the opponent. Evans forced his way in, and was forced by Kobe to jump out..."
If you can't beat Kobe, you can only hang that damn basketball into the low post and look for Cousins.
After receiving the ball with his back, without saying a word, Cousins used his shoulder to knock away Gasol's close press.
Bang——!
Gasol couldn't withstand the confrontation and could only fight and retreat.
When he got to the basket, Kobe's help defended him and pounced on him.
"Facing a double attack, Cousins was not used to them. He pulled the ball and turned around, suddenly bumped Gasol away, forced himself up to meet the man, and dunked in for a layup. As he scored, the whistle also sounded.
This is a beautiful andone... No, it was not an extra penalty whistle, but an offensive foul.
This is Cousins' old problem. He couldn't control the foul. He made unnecessary moves in this offense. When he turned for a layup, he elbowed Gasol in the face..."
Originally thought it was a 2+1, but it turned out to be an offensive error. Cousins' mind became hot and he immediately complained to the referee.
The referee ignored him and still maintained the original penalty.
The Kings offense was ineffective and the Lakers got the offensive ball.
"Paul controlled the ball in the frontcourt, immediately distributed the ball to Gasol in the high post, and then both chose to cut outside, and changed positions with Su Bei, sending Thomas' 175-day loss in front of Su Bei.
Gasol passed the ball over, Su Bei lifted the ball, and took a three-point shot. Then, he twisted around to collect the ball, and passed Thomas, who was being played, as cleanly as the streets in the early morning, and drove towards the basket..."
Seeing this situation, Gasol immediately used his body to block the way Jason Thompson wanted to help defend, so that Su Bei could break through to the end without any obstacles, and then shot.
With a mediocre dunk, he sent the basketball into the basket with a clang.
“Very nice tactical cooperation!
At the same time, Su Bei has excellent intuition for seizing opportunities. He lifted the ball and then recovered it, showing off Thomas.
Of course, Su Bei's ability to show off is based on its precise three-point shooting skills, which makes the opponent defend and lose sight of the other, making it impossible to defend..."
12 to 8! !
The score difference became 4 points.
Bang-dang——!
Looking back, James Johnson faced Su Bei's block and raised his hand to try a three-point pull-up jumper...
As a result, you will die if you try. If you don't listen to Lu Xun, you deserve to miss the mark.
"The rebound was taken by Jordan Hill. He immediately looked for Paul and quickly dribbled the ball forward to counterattack..."
Kobe and Su Bei, seeing an opportunity to counterattack, immediately rushed forward desperately.
The Kings' twin-tower lineup was instantly abolished.
After halftime, Paul faced the pressing pressure of Thomas Jr. and immediately turned over Su Bei's cards.
A two-on-one situation formed in the frontcourt.
Seeing Su Bei at the three-point line, lifting the ball with no intention of attacking the basket, Evans had no choice. He stopped his plan to shrink and defend the penalty area and could only save it. Su Bei's three-pointer was fatal.
Just when Evans made a move, Su Bei swung the basketball toward the penalty area. When he turned around to defend, he saw Kobe rushing to the penalty area, leaping high, holding the basketball with one hand, and smashing it towards the basket...
Bang-dang——!
"Beautiful alley-oop, and it was a one-handed relay.
Kobe showed off a good shot, connected with Su Bei, counterattacked, and continued to add to the Lakers' offensive firepower..."
14 to 8! !
The score difference became 6 points.
Next, Thomas dribbled the ball past Paul, got to the basket, attracted the defense, assisted Cousins in the alley-oop, and returned the favor.
Then, Paul chose to challenge Thomas one-on-one, changed direction, broke through, went in, shot, stopped mid-range and made a sudden hit, hitting the ball accurately. Thomas was stabbed by thousands of people, and the defense could not withstand it at all.
The Lakers' offense is still strong. I don't know whether the Lakers' defense is understood, but it is definitely impossible, absolutely impossible, to understand the Kings' defense.
Buzz—!
After the first quarter, the score was 36 to 25, and the Lakers had an 11-point lead.
Su Bei made 5 of 6 shots and 3 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 13 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. He performed very well.
There is no way, with little Thomas taking the 175 days to call names, it's hard not to think of a handsome boy.
Kobe made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 8 points, 1 assist, and 2 rebounds, which was pretty good.
Paul made 3 of 4 free throws, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 7 points, 5 assists, and 1 rebound. His performance was also just okay. After all, Thomas, who was facing him, would not be surprised to score any high score.
Thomas' defense was blown away. He made 4 of 8 offensive shots and 1 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 9 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds, which was not bad.
Cousins made 3 of 4 free throws, 3 of 4 free throws, 9 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter, showing that he is the league's number one center.
Evans made 2 of 3 and had an average performance of 4 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound.
For the same Big Three, the Kings are obviously bankrupt and it is not surprising that they are lagging behind.
