"Zen Master" Jackson often emphasizes selfless sharing of the ball, after the Lakers' strong side formed a triangle, Bogut received the ball in the low post and the Sun was not good at wrapping, and he took advantage of the situation to share the ball on the periphery.

The Suns only play in the low post when Kobe Bryant, which means that the interior players are pulled out and they don't have a high shooting percentage.

Xiao Si tried his best to defend, and Bogut leaned on the baseline twice as he did just now, turned around and strengthened, and scored on the board. 2 to 4.

Bogut clenched his right fist and yelled when he returned to the defense, this is his favorite style of play, and today he finally received the ball and played his strengths.

The Lakers have a good offense, and if they want to win against the Suns, they have to defend it. The Suns coaching staff was not in a hurry after losing points, and neither was Stoudamire, who was beaten twice by the opponent, and they were used to winning by offense.

Smalls was named to the All-NBA team this season and ranked first among interior players in scoring efficiency. His lack of good defense in the restricted area was something that the coaching staff had long anticipated, after all, he played center with the size of a power forward.

The Suns attacked, Guo Xu and Xiao Si blocked and dismantled the right side in the middle, and Odom on the weak side did not change the defense, Kobe Bryant had to empty the bottom corner to make up the defense, so Odom could only choose to keep up with Guo Xu on the side.

At this time, there were three dislocations on the field, Guo Xu against Odom, Xiao Si against Ellis, and Marion against Bogut.

Guo Xu turned around at 45 degrees, observed Ellis's running with the rest of his eyes, and he singled out Odom with the ball without chasing himself.

Guo Xutu is a big man, and the Lakers have seen it many times in the regular season, how can Odom defend alone? As soon as Ellis bypassed the screen, he caught up with the pack, and Guo Xu took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to the middle.

Xiao Si received the ball in the high post and shot it into the net with ease. 4 to 4.

The Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant passed the ball to the inside again, Xiao Si was familiar with Bogut's rhythm, and the top defense jumped at the right time to interfere with the shot, the ball was deflected, and Marion grabbed the rebound.

In the positional battle, Guo Xu played blocking and dismantling again, and after attracting the bag, he gave the ball to Xiao Si, and Atai let go of Roy to make up for the defense. Xiao Si shook the ball, and Roy received the ball at 50 degrees on the left side to attract Bogut to make up the defense, and the ball was given to the bottom line.

Marion gets an open spot and hits in a strange position. 6 to 4.

Zhang reasonably commented: "After Xiao Si and Marion returned, Guo Xu became very relaxed, he attracted the bag and divided the ball to watch the excitement on the side, and his teammates knew how to play." ”

Yu Jia said: "From 2002 to the present, the Suns Trident has worked together for 5 years, and Bell has also joined the Suns for 4 years, and their cooperation is much more tacit than the Lakers. ”

Zhang said: "The two strongest teams in the West have the same idea of building a team, and the Spurs are also the core unchanged, focusing on the introduction of role players suitable for the system by the three, and the Lakers have not seemed to think about who is suitable for Kobe." ”

In the next round, the Lakers' tactics changed, and Bryant couldn't tolerate Bogut's fourth consecutive shot, singled out Bell with the ball, and changed direction to hit the iron with a stop-and-go jump shot under interference.

Jackson shook his head lightly on the sidelines, and his tactic was to force the Suns to pack the center in the low post, and as long as Smalls defended alone, he let Bogut play continuously, playing like O'Neal did back then.

The Lakers and last year's playoffs have lost 10 games in a row to the Suns, and the coaching staff is clear about one thing, if Bogutra is let out, the Lakers will definitely lose. In addition to the low singles, Jackson also arranged for Ellis to break through with the ball and play a block and pick and roll with Odom in the middle.

This was the way the Lakers played in 2002, when the point guard and center had to be opened, and Kobe Bryant had a good opportunity to go head-to-head again, try to break under the basket and make a layup or share the ball.

If Kobe Bryant is dominated by long-range two-point play, the Lakers are done. In the playoffs, Bryant averaged 8 shots from inside the three-point line and hit 3.4 per game, shooting 42.5 percent from the field. That's up from 38.8 per cent last season, but not high enough to lead the team to a win.

In the Sun positional battle, Guo Xu was not in a hurry to block and dismantle, attracting the ball to help his teammates play after the bag, and this time he passed to Xiao Si who cut in the middle.

Smalls took a step to the basket with the ball to draw Bogut to the defense, and distributed it to Marion on the left, who missed the shot in the open post. Marion's return from injury has reduced the number of shots and his shooting percentage has decreased, giving the coaching staff a bit of a headache.

Marion's main role now is on the defensive end, and he is very aggressive, stalking Odom closely. Odom struggled to get the ball down the middle and couldn't break through with the ball. Bring it to the low post to attack, and the Suns formation will shrink again, just in line with their intentions.

Ellis received the ball and blocked it once, Marion changed defenses quickly, forcing him to pass the ball again, Odom received the ball and Marion quickly rushed out to interfere with the shot and break.

The Lakers players passed a few times, the ball shifted to the strong side again, and the Suns successfully forced Kobe Bryant and Bogut to play alone, and the defensive tactics were simple and effective. Even if Bogut shot 65.8% from the field and scored 48% of his two points from the distance, he still single-handedly let him shoot.

That's how the Suns played on the court, someone could guard against Bogut, the Suns played mainly three-pointers, and the difference opened up unconsciously.

In the second half of the first quarter, Kobe Bryant began to shoot more, and he thought that it would be impossible to let Bogut shoot like O'Neal, Bogut didn't have that ability, and even if the Suns didn't replace Vallejo, he couldn't guarantee efficiency.

The Suns led 29-22 in the first quarter.

Ellis played half a quarter off the bench and played in the second quarter with a mediocre performance.

The Suns' bench lineup is too luxurious, with Lowry, Ariza, Anthony Parker, Tim Thomas, and Haslem playing small-ball tactics, and Vallejo all guarding the water cooler.

D'Antoni arranged this because the Lakers bench inside Turyaf had no range, and the tactics were Cook, Wharton, and Vujacic to pull away, allowing Ellis to break through with the ball or play a pick-and-roll.

The Suns only need to kill Kaellis, and Turiav has only one option to cut to the basket. Upper Haslem is like deliberately leading Turyaf to attack, so that the Lakers can't shoot from the outside.

Guo Xu rested, and Ellis was not so easy to play. Lowry is stronger than him, fast, good at breaking through, and likes to be close. Lowry's weakness is similar to Guo Xu's is that it is not good to interfere with shooting, but Ellis's shooting is not good, and it is difficult to play Lowry.

Both teams play the same style, with Haslem being more mobile than Turyaf and having mid-range shots to help his teammates go to the basket.

After playing 3 minutes and the margin widened to 12 points, Bryant returned to the court to replace Wharton and add an offensive point with the ball. In the 6th minute, the Suns made substitutions, Guo Xu, Roy, and Xiaosi returned to the court to strengthen the offense, and Bell and Marion continued to rest, allowing people with better physical strength to defend the pick-and-roll and Kobe.

At halftime, the Suns led by 18 points.

In the second half, Guo Xu led the team to continue to maintain the advantage, widening the difference to more than 20 points, and the Lakers players became more and more impatient, and their style of play was obviously much tougher than the previous game.

At 2 minutes and 19 seconds in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant deliberately knocked Xiao Si to the ground with his elbow, and the referee only gave a normal foul and did not watch the TV replay. Although the Suns players were dissatisfied, they endured the lead in the score, and Xiao Si was not injured.

After a few more rounds, Ellis and Bogut played a block to get rid of Guo Xu, and the breakthrough layup was deflected under the interference of Xiao Si, and Marion grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu.

There was a serious misalignment on the field, Guo Xu sprinted at full speed to shake off Bogut, and the front court formed a 2-on-1, and he attracted Vujacic to make up for the defense and pass the ball to Roy.

Guo Xu only had to wait to see Roy score easily at this time, and he was relaxed and defenseless, but Vujacic saw that there was no ball in his hand but did not slow down, but hit him hard, knocking Guo Xu directly to the ground.

This malicious foul was so obvious that the audience was in an uproar...... ()
