Chapter 257 [The Lakers Reversed, the Trap Digged]

On June 4, the Lakers hosted the Trail Blazers, and the brutal tie-break began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Zen Master" Phil Jackson showed his coaching talent, and instead of blindly playing triangle offense, he let O'Neal pull out to block and dismantle, respond in the high post, reduce shots, and help his teammates open.

This move is aimed at the aging Sabonis to prevent and dismantle slowly, and the idea is very correct. O'Neal attacks the basket, but it allows Sabonis to play a defensive role, and his height and tonnage are not inferior to O'Neal.

After the adjustment, the Lakers' outside offense was opened, and the shooting percentage increased collectively. But Trail Blazers core Rasheed Wallace was not a vegetarian either, playing the best of his personal series, shooting 70 percent from the field in the first three quarters and scoring 26 points to lead the team's offense.

Steve Smith ran to catch the ball and shot 3-of-4 three-pointers, which also ensured the team's outside firepower.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers trailed by 15 points, and before the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers' bench was in despair and confused.

On the side of the Trail Blazers, coach Mike Dunleavy pinched his waist on the sidelines, full of confidence and arrogance.

His hairline is matched with the posture of a winner, and if he has multiple braids on the back of his head, it is like Nurhachi bringing the Manchu Qing into the customs, waiting for the iron horse under his command to enter the finals to burn and loot.

As a result, the situation changed abruptly, and at the beginning of the final quarter, the Lakers began to counterattack with long-range shots, and the two substitute leaders of Hawley and Brian Shaw rained a "three-point rain". O'Neal played the axis on the inside to attract the defense, and the pass led the whole team, and quickly filled the 15-point hole.

The Trail Blazers Sabonis couldn't defend the pick-and-roll, and sent Marcus Camby, whose thin body couldn't carry O'Neal. At this time, Dunleavy especially missed Kevin Cato. If Cato is here, it won't be so difficult to deal with the Lakers.

At the last moment, the game went into "shark time". O'Neal hooked, dunked, and made free throws to score in quick succession to seal the win. Miraculously, O'Neal made 8-of-12 free throws in key games.

Six Lakers scored double-doubles, and with the joint efforts, the Lakers won 93-88.

The Knicks watched the game as a team, and when it was over, Yang Rui turned off the TV and stepped onto the podium. "Okay, let's talk about it. In addition to the shark slashing tactics, how to deal with the Lakers is suitable, not only the assistant coach, but also the ideas. ā€

Little O'Neill raised his hand first, and when he opened his mouth, the room burst into laughter.

"Jerry, can you predict tomorrow's lottery first? I'm going to buy a bet, I should be able to win, right? ā€

Yang Rui is not angry, the atmosphere in the Raptors team is like this, as long as the game is not messed around.

"I can't predict the lottery, but I can give you a plan to make a fortune, everyone has the Minion number, and you know Facebook, right? If Facebook goes public one day, you can buy the stock and wait for it to appreciate. Yang Rui just said it casually, and it didn't matter if he believed it or not.

Thibodeau raised his hand to speak. "I suggest that the defensive end should defend O'Neal and guard the Lakers from the outside, and that's what the Trail Blazers did, and it worked. Teammates can't open, and O'Neal's data can't win against the sky. Also, I would suggest starting Cato and Miller on the bench so that our second team is more attacking. ā€

D'Antoni said: "My advice is to play a fast break when you get the chance, run with O'Neal and drain his energy. The positional battle pulled O'Neal out of the basket, and the guard misplaced him to attack this, and he couldn't split it out for his teammates to attack. ā€

Everyone spoke enthusiastically, all in favor of withdrawing O'Neal from the basket, the fat man was too powerful near the box. He is invincible on the offensive end, can resist people and block when defending, and stops half of the box under the basket.

Yang Rui set a single defense against O'Neal, focusing on counterattacks and outside off-ball cover.

After the meeting, he left Doug Christie alone.

"Doug, in this Finals, your task is very heavy, I will arrange for you to defend Kobe, but this is not enough, because I am worried that Kobe Bryant will shoot too little, so I need your cooperation."

"Worried about fewer shots?" Christie asked puzzled, "How do you want me to cooperate?" ā€

"It's very simple, go out and give an interview and say that you will kill Kobe Bryant one-on-one in the Finals, he is not a big deal at all, but he has swiped good statistics by O'Neal's side and becomes an All-Star." Yang Rui smiled.

"But I can't kill him one-on-one." Christie smiled wryly, suspecting it was a prank.

Yang Rui said: "I'm not joking, I know that you can't prevent him, but the team needs you to do this, if you can provoke Kobe Bryant and cause him to shoot more than 20 times a game, then you are the number one contributor to the Raptors winning the championship." ā€

Christie was stunned: "You've already stunned me." ā€

"Wouldn't it? You can't even understand this? As long as you control Kobe Bryant's shooting rate within 45%, prevent breakthroughs and reduce fouls, how many points can he score on more than 20 shots? I can tell you for sure, it's only about 30 points, and the high shot is exchanged for the high score. If O'Neal doesn't finish playing, the interior line will have to take turns to foul and rotate to affect the offense. O'Neal's shooting percentage may be 60%, and everyone will be comfortable at the expense of you. Yang Rui explained the idea.

Christie and the three assistant teachers understood.

Before discussing tactics, Yang Rui asked everyone to speak, but now he threw out his own tactics, or psychological warfare.

What personality is Kobe? At the age of 19, he dared to let Malone get out, and he didn't stick to three key shots in the playoffs, and he wanted to show himself every moment.

If Christie really said that, the bloody Kobe Bryant would definitely be angry and could go at him, just like he did in the last series against Pippen.

And it's not just psychological warfare. Yang Rui has the impression that Kobe Bryant and Christie have not taken advantage of each other.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Christie was the most underrated Kobe finisher, and his defensive effect was better than that of Laga Bell, Battier, Artest and others.

Although every time he is in the position, his data is blown up by Kobe, but the effect of his single defense is very obvious, Kobe Bryant's shooting rate is often less than 40%, and it is said that the limit is limited to less than 45%, which is to relieve pressure on Christie, and Kobe Bryant's career average shooting rate per game is less than 45%.

Christie is at the peak of the offense-oriented Kings team, and the whole team's defense is not half weak, unlike Prince during the Pistons period, Bowen during the Spurs, not that they don't defend well, but their defense has the aura bonus of a strong defensive system behind them, and Christie has nothing, more moments, he is fighting alone, and he has been selected for the defensive team of the year in a row, which is the biggest affirmation.

And, as a swingman who can play three positions, Christie is the technical flow defensive lock. With less than 2.5 fouls per game, the nickname "Scalpel" is not for nothing.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe Bryant played against Christie in his career, averaging only 43.3% shooting per game, 9.3 of 21.5 shots, 1 of 3.3 three-pointers, 30.3% of the shooting rate, and 27.2 points, 7 rebounds and 4.5 assists on 8.9 shots and 7.6 shots and 84.7% free throws.

Christie himself rarely fouls, and most of Kobe's horrific free throws were fouls made by rushing inside after blocking and dismantling. The Kings' interior defense is terrible, and when Kobe Bryant was at his peak, Christie had already declined, putting aside these factors, from 1997 to 2003, the two were in each other's position, and Kobe Bryant's inefficiency was pitiful.

In addition, the Raptors' big forward is O'Neal Jr., who is stronger than the Kings in defense and pick-and-roll, and it is more difficult for Kobe Bryant to score.

Yang Rui has dug a trap and is waiting for Kobe to jump.
