Chapter 671: The Witty Fox
Now turn your attention back to the direction of the NBA, Los Angeles has been crazy for half the city fans for a while, public opinion is questioning Kobe all day long, and countless criticisms mixed with overwhelming abuse are pouring into Chicago.
At this time, it can be seen that the anger of the big city is much more powerful than that of Cleveland.
If James's brain-dead live broadcast broke the hearts of Clevelands, then the moment Kobe Bryant put on the Bulls jersey, the hearts of Los Angeles fans were also broken and torn apart.
Not only Los Angeles fans, but also the Los Angeles media have completely turned against Kobe, and there is no longer the maintenance of the past.
Therefore, all kinds of news about Kobe Bryant have reappeared on the front pages of major media in Los Angeles recently, without exception, Kobe Bryant is playing the role of cannon fodder and villain, such as "Big Shark" O'Neal in his upcoming autobiography, revealing that he once wanted to kill Kobe, Michael. Jordan revealed that he came back in 01 to deal with Kobe Bryant and so on...... There may be many Kommy who will come out to cry out for Kobe, but in fact, Kobe Bryant is just repaying his debts for the young man of the year.
Take O'Neal as an example, in fact, you can't blame O'Neal for being too ruthless, O'Neal has been teammates with many superstars in his career, including "Penny" Hardaway, Nash, Xiao Si and Wade, plus the current fox brother, they have never had an unpleasant relationship, except for Kobe, which is not unrelated to Kobe's difficult character.
Just after the "Eagle County Incident" East Window Incident, in order to exonerate himself, Kobe Bryant actually used O'Neal's privacy as a shield, and he exposed the information to the prosecutor of the police department. said that O'Neill had also provoked a similar sexual assault case, but at that time, O'Neal did not hesitate to spend $1 million in order to settle the matter. The person's mouth was sealed.
The investigator of the "Eagle County Incident" later elaborated on the matter in a document submitted to the court, and he restored Bryant's original words in the form of a transcript. "I should emulate my teammate O'Neal, who used to pay them a lot of money to shut up the woman he had an affair with, and O'Neal had a similar affair where he spent a total of $1 million in hush money from start to finish." Bryant said at the time.
Bryant also self-righteously stated that he treats women with respect, so women should not blame him.
There are no impermeable walls in this world. In the end, these fierce materials were shaken out by the media one by one and all exposed to the public, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Bryant's relationship with O'Neal has effectively come to an end.
At that time, O'Neal showed surprisingly calm after learning that Kobe Bryant had betrayed him, and he still showed great restraint in front of the public and did not publicly attack Kobe. But his hatred and dislike for Kobe Bryant has reached an irreparable level.
Finally, in order to completely end the "Eagle County Incident". Bryant also ended up spending $1 million to reach an out-of-court settlement with the client, but this did not save Bryant's image, and that year can be said to be the lowest point of Bryant's entire career.
In the 2003-04 Finals, the Lakers F4 lost to the Pistons in a one-sided situation, and in the summer of 2004, the war between Kobe Bryant and O'Neal inevitably broke out. At that time, Kobe Bryant was only 26 years old, and O'Neal was 32 years old, relying on his age advantage. Kobe Bryant finally won the "Battle of Los Angeles", driving O'Neal away and becoming the Lakers' big boss. And the invincible "OK combination" of the past has completely disappeared from history.
O'Neal is the happiest person now, and the big shark is happier than the moment he won the championship in the Heat back then!
What about Kobe Bryant who drove him away in the first place? Now he has come back with a big fat shark, but Kobe Bryant is like a rat crossing the street, scolded by all Lakers fans!
Fast forward to the end of September, and the Nets will travel to Europe to participate in eight preseason games this season, and their opponents include: CSKA Moscow of Russia, Panathinaiques of Greece, Olympia Milan of Italy, Bayern Munich of Germany, Maccabi Tel Aviv of Israel, CSP Limoges of France, Barcelona of Spain, and Real Madrid of Spain.
The Clippers have a more complicated journey than the Nets, and their preseason will span Asia and South America.
However, the defending champions have played one less game than the Nets, who only need to play seven preseason games. The opponents of the Clippers include: the Chinese national team, the Australian national team, the Japanese national team, the South Korean national team, the Lebanese national team, the Brazilian national team, and the Argentine national team.
Both brothers have played in all of this year's pre-season games at their respective teams, and in the past three seasons they have rarely played so many pre-season games, playing a few games and not playing more than 20 minutes in each game. But this year, in order to adapt to the new environment, and in a new position, and also to run in the team, they have to play in all the pre-season games and can't play too little time.
The current lineups of the Clippers and Nets are very different from last season, especially the Nets, which are almost a completely new combination.
Zen Master's triangle offense requires a lot of actual combat practice, Nash and Ji Guoqiu have never played this tactic, they need to re-learn, so the Nets chose a European team with stronger skills and tactics, and at the same time can expand the team's influence in Europe.
Anyone who has a few years of NBA football history has a feeling that among all offensive tactics, the "triangle offense" is the most incessant, and it is also the most mythologized tactic by fans, although most fans don't know what this seemingly powerful tactic is.
So what exactly is a triangle offensive?
When Ji Guoyi was asked this question, he saw the dead fox show Manchester United's disdainful expression, and sneered: "The triangle offense is a tactic as difficult to understand as Princeton, if I don't pretend to say it, it's actually the tactics of several superstar XJBD." โ
The Zen master was half angry when he heard this, but he couldn't refute it, although the dead fox's words were very ugly, but this set of triangular tactics is actually a set of superstar tactics, the nature is the same as the Princeton system, the power of the tactics is directly proportional to the ability of the superstar, that is, the stronger the core of this system, the greater the power it will exert.
The triangle offense first needs a finishing point. For example, Jordan of the Bulls, the big shark of the Lakers. There is also at least one point of response, like Pippen of a bull. Kobe Bryant of the Lakers (that's right). This set of tactics can be said to be ever-changing, because there is no rigid routine, all changes rely on the improvisation of the stars.
To paraphrase the concept of martial arts novels, the triangle attack is like the most mythical Dugu Nine Swords, its moves are not important, as long as you understand the sword intent and understand the core concept of this set of tactics. Mastering the essence of the game and being able to play as you like in the game is the highest level.
General. The position of the triangle attack is very open, and one-on-one singles are very encouraged, so the triangle attack must have at least one absolute strong point, the kind that has no solution to one-on-one. But the triangle offense is definitely not just a superstar one-man tactic. It's a perfect combination of superstar singles and team combinations.
Meantime. The triangle attack not only encourages singles, but also restricts singles, because the stance is very open, and if you can't solve the opponent quickly in one-on-one, then it will attract help defense. At this point, a second tactical coordination is necessary, in which the endpoint of the single play will be transformed into a response point to assist the second attacker to continue the attack.
The real triangular offensive is a layered tactical system. The attack core and the support core must be switchable at will, so it sounds mysterious. But it can be summed up as follows: No. 1 core singles - encountering a bag - No. 2 core continuing to play singles - encountering a bag - role player shooting in the open position - no chance, and repeat again......
The reason why this set of tactics is mysterious is because these five steps can actually be completely broken up, pieced together at will, and looped indefinitely, which is the reason why the triangle offensive cannot be defended. But in this way, the comprehensive ability of the players is extremely demanding, and it is really not possible for anyone to play, it depends on understanding and talent plus peak strength, so the Zen master will only coach the best players.
The Spurs' system is the opposite of that of the Zen masters, their tactics are very tight, and the players must follow the tactics arranged by Popovich, and every link must not be wrong. This lacks spirituality, but the Spurs' execution is the best in the league.
This is not to say that the Spurs' tactics are bad, if it is more serious, Duncan and Ginobili are a link in the Spurs lineup with changing attributes, like a machine-like precision Spurs, there must be a rotating bearing in the middle, there must be this thing to drive the whole team, and the Spurs really have the strength to win the championship, so once these two perform badly, the Spurs will definitely not be able to win the championship.
The Nets are the same, Ji Guoqiu and Nash must be ever-changing, and it is best to have different routines and tricks every time they attack, which can make people unguardable and powerful. But the other three players of the Nets don't have that much range of movement, and they have to form a triangle based on the positions of the two cores, and they can't just run around.
Therefore, the most suitable players for the Nets are players like Matthews and Korver who have top-level shooting ability, and their defense cannot be bad.
In a word, the triangle offense not only maximizes the superstar's singles ability, but also limits the supergiant's singles, and also blends other players into it, which is the most subtle part of the triangle offense, and it is also his strongest point.
The Nets' journey to Europe is very smooth, and the joint defense and dazzling offensive tactics of these European powerhouses are something that NBA teams can't play, but Ji Guoqiu and Nash are full of spirituality and play a few blind games, just like the one sword in the novel that breaks ten thousand laws, and Dugu Jiujian has no tricks to win, no matter how good your tactics are, no matter how cumbersome and cumbersome your tactics are, under my absolute personal ability, they are all floating clouds.
The Nets' preseason record is 8 wins, and the cooperation between Nash and Ji Guoqiu is already very tacit, which allows them to reduce the time to adapt to the triangle strategy. On the offensive end, they played exactly what the Zen master had in mind, but on the defensive end, the team was still a little behind.
The Nets' starters in eight preseason games are: Nash, Matthews, Korver, Ji Guoqiu, and Lopez.
In this lineup, Nash's defense is naturally the weakest link, although Lao G's defense is very active, and his speed and pace are still fast, but his body is too weak, and he is a little unbearable in the face of young European point guards; The second is Lopez's defense, the Nets' original rebuilding core, and the defensive end simply does not meet the psychological expectations of the Zen master. His single defense is a little worse, his co-defense is also a little worse, and his enthusiasm is not so good, so it can be said that the defensive end is a little worse in all aspects, which makes people very painful. Zen masters don't know how to improve their aspects first.
Of course, in terms of rebounding, Lopez is not a little worse. In 8 games in the preseason, this guy only averaged 6 rebounds per game, while Ji Guoqiu's average rebounds per game was 18, which was still the result obtained in 31 minutes of play. Three times as many as Lรณpez.
Nets fans now regard Lopez's rebounds as a self-deprecating object, and fans of other teams use rebounds to mock Lopez every day, especially Clippers fans. Every day, he makes up all kinds of jokes to ridicule the center of the Nets, and the leading brother is Ji Guoyan.
In the end, the Zen master felt that Korver's defense was only just passing. He will certainly have no problem in the regular season, but if the Nets make it to the playoffs or even the Eastern Conference Finals, then Korver's defense still can't meet the psychological requirements of a Zen master. Because the Nets' goal is to win the championship.
Although on the offensive end. Korver's three-point shot is pervertedly accurate, and Ji Guoqiu can exert great power on the offensive end, but if his defense can be as good as Matthews, it is really good. However, Korver's salary of 5 million is enough to be worthy of his value, and the sharpshooter usually trains positively and has an exemplary professional attitude, so he can't ask for more.
The Zen master is now clear. The biggest problem facing his team is defense, relying only on Ji Guoqiu, Matthews, and Tony in the bench period. Alan. Such a defensive lineup is not enough to win the championship, and the Nets' starting five must have at least three players with excellent defensive ability to make up for Nash's defensive shortcomings.
At this time, the Zen master suddenly thought of Tyson. Chandler, if they could put Tyson in the summer. Chandler grabbed it, and the Nets' lineup was truly perfect.
The Clippers have not had a good preseason journey, losing two of those games against the mighty Argentina and Brazil. If the Clippers' loss to these two teams is understandable, then in the face of Lebanon, the Clippers actually played overtime to decide the winner, and the victory against China was only a small victory, which is too disappointing.
Ji Guoyi averaged 40 points per game in the preseason, and his performance was impeccable, but the Clippers have played a little chaotic this year after missing the axis of Ji Guoqiu. There's no denying that they're ridiculously fast, averaging some of the highest points per game in the league in preseason, but they're not conceding as many points and aren't as consistent as last season.
Nets fans are also laughing at the Clippers, who are sarcastic about the Clippers being the real XJBD now.
As soon as Ji Guoyi arrived in the front court, there were all kinds of breakthroughs, all kinds of strong shots, and there was really no chance to pass them out, and then other players followed up to shoot...... This set of tactics may not be called a few blind shots, but should be called a few blind shots.
However, the Clippers are really sick when they shoot accurately, and they can often take away opponents in two or three minutes. Just think about it, their starting lineup has Ji Guoyi, Lei. The three guns of Allen and Billups, plus the three substitutes of Maddie, Hill and Dragic, this kind of firepower is too ferocious.
The Clippers themselves don't feel much, the only thing that is unhappy is O'Neal, who didn't play much in the preseason, because he is too familiar with the rhythm of the Clippers, and he has a deep experience in the Suns, and it feels like life is worse than death! What made him even more cold sweat was that today's Clippers are running faster than the Suns!
Well, he must have had a head cramp in the first place to choose to join the Clippers instead of the Nets, and O'Neal thinks he just made the biggest mistakes of his life.
ESPN reports: The Clippers are one of the least low-post teams in the league in the preseason this year, although this is because in the preseason, O'Neal rarely played, but it can also show that the Clippers have completely changed their face this year, and the defending champions now have only one core, that is, the pseudo-interior fox brother.
The capital of the Clippers has now become a super ball-holding ability on the outside, Ji Guoyi's passing and control skills continue to improve, and the shooting skills without dead ends are almost insoluble in one-on-one, and in the preseason, he played an average of 33 minutes per game, and was able to cut a perverted 40 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, with extremely high efficiency.
Billups is 34 years old, but that hasn't affected his formidable physicality, and we can still see him getting past defenders without covering this season. With the blessing of these two, the Clippers rank first in the league in terms of outside singles ratio, and the scoring rate is only lower than that of the Nets in the East, beating Chicago, Heat, Thunder and Knicks, ranking second in the league.
If you need to cooperate, the Clippers are more inclined to solve the problem with simple blocking this season, at this time, in addition to Ji Guoyi and Billups, Iguodala and Dragic and Maddy in the bench lineup can also break through with the ball, and Jordan Jr. is one of the very good cover longs, and his super athleticism allows him to greatly threaten the basket and attract defensive forces after going down.
The Clippers will also often lay mines. Allen and Ji Guoyi's double outside blocking and dismantling are also effective.
This is a new addition to the Clippers' tactics this season, due to the presence of Ray on the team. Allen, a sharpshooter who runs erratically, when he runs with Ji Guoyi to use the block, Billups is a big threat to anyone, and even if he chooses to break through by himself at this time, it can have a surprise effect.
ESPN believes that the Clippers should reduce the kind of one-stop fast offense in the preseason this season, Ji Guoyi's rhythm is a little too cheerful, and his teammates are a little unable to keep up with him. Alun and Ji Guoyi's erratic running ability, I believe that no one in the alliance can guard against these two marksmen.
At the same time, when the Clippers reach the regular season, they should make more use of O'Neal's interior deterrence. Allen's running form an internal and external echo, and when the time comes, with Billups and Iguodala, the Clippers are almost impossible to defend.
Ji Guoqiu's side also scolded the dead fox for playing too crazy after the preseason, if he played like him in the preseason, the Clippers would definitely not go far in the playoffs.
"You say, I'm just experimenting with different plays. I'm not afraid to tell you, our main tactic in the new season is to run, run, and run, and when we meet, you'll know how good we are. โ
Ji Guoyan is open-mouthed, what he said is true or false, and other people really can't tell what he is thinking, but the giant panda knows his thoughts clearly, and said with a smile in his heart: "We have three chapters of the law, when the Clippers and the Nets are playing, no one is allowed to use telepathy." โ
"You think beautifully, I think it's all telepathy, or we take advantage, anyway, I'm not the core of the team, you know my ideas are useless, Billups may not pass it on to me then." Ji Guoyan smiled very obscenely in his heart, and said in a playful tone: "Hehe, but you are different, you are the axis of the Nets, if I know what you think, I can destroy the operation of your team, and I will not fall for you." โ
Ji Guoyan felt that he was so witty at this time, and the dead panda still wanted to trap him now, it was a dream! (To be continued......)
